Let's be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~ Chapter 2 part2

The passage of the dungeon is wide enough that the five people can walk well in a row.

The ceiling is about three meters. How can such thing be in the basement......

Will it not collapse?

A slight anxiety goes to Haruki's mind, but it will be fine.

There was a case that a certain country had driven a nuclear missile in order to suppress the dungeon.

However, the dungeon suffered only damage to the extent that the entrance spreads a little. (After that, that country was partially destroyed by the stampede)

It will not crumble at the level of the earthquake.

The inside is like clay, my knife is buried about three centimeters only when it was stabbed. It seems that the back is being consolidated with another material.

The interior is dim, but it is not completely dark.

The inner surface is lit lightly.

It is wonderful to capture dungeon even without lanterns, it feels like being welcomed by predator and it is horrifying.

When he walk for a while, a "kasakasa (rustling)" like sound arrived in the ears of Haruki.

Kasakasa...... I imagine it is G (gokiburi = cockroach).

It seems there are also G monsters in Honshu dungeon, but it has not been found in Hokkaido.

There is no mistake if you think that it is not G.

So what is the identity of this sound?

When you are listening carefully, the sound grows little by little.

Before Haruki's knife stance, it finally appears.

"That?"

Haruki let out admiration to monster different from his imagination.

The length is about half of Haruki. It is not even a meter.

Countless numbers of legs on its body.

While proceeding forward to see if it is an antennae or foot, it moves with rustling.

"House centipede!"

There are no dangerous insects with plentiful legs and the unique fangs of the centipede (TL: I think this is refers to the poisonous one).

So, it is without a doubt a house centipede.

It is thicker than centipede, and barely poisonous.

If it is in common size, it is called as beneficial insect which exterminates pest.

"I thought it was clearly a centipede. Well, well."

Because his expectation was wrong, Haruki loosen the grin at the corner of his mouth.

The more you lose your expectation is more...... interesting.

Adventure probably is such things, isn't it?

But, this size.

An ordinary person may faint due to physiological repulsion. 

However, Haruki still faces house centipede with a smile as usual.

"Aah, it is the best......"

The house centipede that I know, and dungeon's house centipede.

How is it different?

Fight and I will understand.

I can't wait for that future.

The information of house centipede appears in WIKI of "Let's Become".

"House Centipede"

It is relatively gentle and slow. 

There is no killing power. Even if it is wrapped around, it only eat armor and clothing, and will not try to eat human flesh. It is a beneficial insect which exterminates pest.

The fighting methods is simple, it can be killed by smashing its head.

Since the antennas play the role of visual organs, if they are cut off, there is no worry that it will attack.

It is easy to defeat it as long as you remember the secret. it is bonus monster for beginners. 

However, even like that it causes physiological repulsion beyond description.

It is a monster with high mental attack power.

When it's eating, narrow feelings that thin legs rustling is NG (NG = Not Good).

I want to ask why God did not destroy this monster.

As soon as I find it, I will crush it.

Since the experience is abundance, I recommend to search and destroy it.

House centipede should be exterminated from Japan.

Probably he is strung by it. In editor's letter, there is a traced of hatred can be sensed.

"If I had to say, it looks cute......"

Its feet move slowly.

But I do not think I want to be clanged.

The armor that I purchase with the small amount of money that I had will become useless.

"Well, let's go"

I cut its antennas, and return to stab its head.

While remembering the method in WIKI in his head, Haruki start to run.

Ten meters. Five meters.

The other party has not noticed yet.

When I raised the knife, finally house centipede realized Haruki's existence.

But it is already late.

I get it......!

I was convinced, but as the blade cut through the air.

But different from Haruki's assumption, house centipede's movement was quick.

Where is the slow-witted!

He takes a back step while cursing.

House centipede which nearly stabbed is barely evading.

"Huh?"

Haruki lets out a light breath.

Haruki though that rush was success, and he ready to evade it.

But, it didn't hit.

In other words, it is quicker than expected, but not quick enough to surpass my speed.

If I deal it calmly without hurry, I may defeat it without a problem.

As soon as I understand, the inside of my head become calm.

"That's truly."

Emotion rises from within my body.

It is fun, safe hunting is insufficient.

It's just unilateral violence.

There is no adventure.

There is no challenge.

But now, it is not a level at which it can be said selfishly.

For the weak to ask for too much. It is unsightly.

Stay focused.

I have got to focus!

Haruki controls his own mind.

House centipede with its antenna pointed at here is barely attracted.

Hit!

He takes a side step just before it hit.

Its antennas graze his lather breastplate.

There, he calm down and cut it.

The antennas cut with his knife are floating in the air.

And simultaneously he kicks the ground to turn to its side.

Haruki who kick the ground with all his power is stabbing his knife to the house centipede.
