Chapter 251.2. Unrestricted Rules For Unobservable Place
Mii-chan hopped onto her float board and accelerated forward.
Despite exchanging teasing words, Elizabeth soon followed suit.
I had wanted to rest my body. After all, I believed that from here on, it would be a danger zone.
There had to be enemies who intended harm to Mii-chan lurking somewhere.
Racing across the water’s surface, we headed toward Misty Dungeon. This dungeon, situated at the center, was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to miss due to the surrounding fog.
We quickly spotted the area enveloped in mist.
Both Mii-chan and Elizabeth dashed into the mist, our splashes sparkling. Unperturbed by the dense fog, we charged ahead without fear.
“Whoa, this fog is something else!”
“Exactly! Visibility is nonexistent in this dungeon. Sharp senses of hearing and smell become crucial.”
We were plunging into the mist, the surroundings were completely obscured, and the phrase “lost in the fog” came to mind.
The entire area was blanketed in mist, rendering vision utterly useless. It had been since my previous life when I stayed at a mountain hut at the summit I encountered fog this intense.
I couldn’t see an inch ahead. Even Elizabeth ahead seemed like she was disappearing into the mist.
However, this dungeon’s detailed map had been made public. By examining the terrain, I could discern my position.
With careful navigation based on landmarks, I could find the stairs and avoid getting lost.
Still, there was a caveat: the navigation needed to be cautious. Rushing blindly and at high speed would surely lead to getting lost in no time.
Yet, Elizabeth was different. Even in the mist, her exceptional hearing, sense of smell, and sharp, instinctual wildness as a wolf propelled her confidently ahead.
Running at high speed, Elizabeth suddenly noticed a rock in her path. She gracefully dodged it as if she had anticipated it.
Mii-chan also wanted to sense her surroundings. So she took a deep breath and lightly extended her mana outward.
That allowed her to observe her environment. Even when rocks appeared suddenly in front of her, she smiled calmly.
“Watch out!”
And then she collided with the rock, spun around, and was blown away.
“It’s still not working. Even if I try to extend my senses subtly, I have no idea how to do it.”
She had imitated the typical protagonist of novels, but the fact was, Mii-chan didn’t possess mana at all. She couldn’t use it whatsoever.
If I could at least use -fight-. So I can sense my surroundings. However, I couldn’t participate in a race while holding a parfait.
Even Mii-chan found it a bit unnatural.
“Hahaha, regret giving me a handicap now.”
Amidst the mist, Elizabeth slashed through the appearing monsters with her iron claws, elegantly defeating them without trouble while laughing heartily.
“As a return favor for earlier, I’ll wait for you for 10 minutes after I exit the dungeon.”
“I’ll do my best to catch up, so don’t worry!”
It seemed that Elizabeth, who had quite a pride, thought Mii-chan had given her a handicap. Mii-chan had only intended to gauge Elizabeth’s character from her attitude, but she felt a twinge of guilt.
However, leaving Mii-chan, who had collided with a rock and lost her balance, Elizabeth disappeared into the mist.
The easiest way to navigate through this mist was to have abilities like Elizabeth’s, resembling those of a wild beast. Most of the racers were of the beast folk type at the martial arts tournament.
Next was using wind magic to blow away the mist. It was an extremely simple solution, but blowing away the mist in this dungeon, where creatures lurked, was akin to lighting a torch in the darkness to make yourself a target.
It consumed a lot of mana, and people rarely approached this method.
As for Mii-chan, she couldn’t utilize these solutions. Without choosing -Fight-, she couldn’t use attack magic.
So, with a resolute expression, she decided on her next move.
“Let’s check the guide beacon.”
During the race, lines of light appeared to prevent getting lost. It was a common feature in games.
“Wait, wait, wait!”
Following the guide beacon, I pushed forward. I couldn’t deal with obstacles, so I collided with them, but I had no choice.
Although Elizabeth had the instincts of a beast, the monsters obstructed her path, preventing her from achieving high speeds.
Even Elizabeth understood the danger of progressing while fleeing through the mist.
There was even the possibility that a large number of monsters had formed a train, sneaking up on them.
That’s why I thought she could catch up, but…
“Gruoo!”
From within the mist, a wolf with an open mouth, baring its fangs, launched a surprise attack.
This wolf was several times larger than Mii-chan, salivated as it pounced, intending to devour her in one bite.
-Fight-
“Tei.”
“Gyan!”
Due to the monster’s surprise attack, Mii-chan switched into battle mode and lightly struck the wolf’s nose.
With its head exploding like an explosion, the decapitated wolf collapsed. Ignoring this, I bent her waist and swung my right leg, delivering a spinning kick.
As if synchronized with her kick, other wolves appeared, but like being caught in a fighter plane’s propeller, their bodies got caught in her spinning kick and pulverized into pieces.
Watching the chunks of flesh fall to the ground along with fresh blood, I narrowed her eyes in thought.
“A monster trying to fight Mii-chan… It seems there are some pests around.”
Glad she brought an insect net, Mii-chan’s eyes glinted like a raptor’s as she chuckled with a grin.
