Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Page 23

At the entrance of the Orcus Grand Labyrinth,

Darkness stared, drooling, at the dark and eerie cave entrance.

"Ah~ Hoo~ What kind of exciting monster is inside? Does it secrete lots of mucus or something? Or does it have obscene tentacles or something? Ha~ Hoo~ Just imagining it makes me tremble with excitement! Hoo~ Hoo~"

Commander Meld and the other high school students who had transmigrated looked at Shi Yu as if he were scum.

Kaori and Shizuku quickly stepped forward and covered Darkness's mouth.

Kaori blushed and whispered to Darkness:

"Darkness, please don't say things that could be misunderstood. Everyone's looking at Shi Yu differently now..."

Darkness looked at Kaori with a strange expression: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Did I misunderstand? I mean, the monsters in this dungeon might... um! um!"

Shi Yu's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he kept silently repeating to himself,

"As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed!"

"As long as... (╯‵□)╯︵┻━┻! Damn it, I can't convince myself!"

Meanwhile, another blue-haired idiot next to him was desperately clinging to his leg, sobbing with tears in his eyes:

"Why! Why! Why can Huihui relax in a warm and comfortable villa, while I have to go to this dark and damp underground city! Waaaaah~ I want a fireplace, my big sofa! My place as the mistress of the house!"

"Are you stupid? We're not short of money now. Isn't this leisurely life good? Anyway, they've already paid half of the commission. It wouldn't matter if they ran away now, would it?"

Commander Melder and the many high school students: staring...

Shi Yu: "..."

Congratulations on receiving the double shame reward...

Shi Yu suddenly felt a little glad that he hadn't brought Huihui along. Maybe this girl would have just unleashed a burst spell before entering the dungeon and blown up the entire dungeon entrance.

Knight Commander Meld coughed awkwardly twice:

"Ahem, listen up! Everyone must help each other in the maze, no matter what happens, understand?"

“┗|｀O|┛Aww~~!”

The cheers of the crowd finally eased Shi Yu's embarrassment.

However, at this moment, the high school students looked at Shi Yu as if he were a pervert.

Damn it, Shi Yu swears that he has absolutely no resemblance to the grotesque person at all!

Shi Yu lowered his head, carrying Aqua in one hand and beckoning Darkness with the other as they walked into the underground labyrinth.

Kaori Shirasaki and Shizuku Yaegashi covered their mouths and chuckled softly behind them.

Suddenly, they felt a little sorry for Shi Yu. After spending the past week together, they knew that Shi Yu wasn't a monster.

The person I usually interact with most is that vampire girl named Lulucy Lulu, and she is very polite.

On the contrary, his three teammates, although all of them were exceptionally good-looking, none of them had normal personalities.

A useless shut-in who calls herself a goddess every day, a masochistic female knight who fantasizes about being abused all day long, and a chuunibyou little loli who goes to the forest every day to have sex and then spends the whole day feeling depressed.

They watched every day as Shi Yu would get so angry at the three of them that he would blow his beard and glare at them, but he would just turn around and sigh and forgive them, as if Shi Yu doted on them.

This made Shirasaki Kaori and Yaegashi Shizuku extremely envious.

This scene at the entrance to the maze is also similar.

Although Darkness and Aqua caused Shi Yu to die instantly.

However, although he seemed a little frustrated, he wasn't angry with the two of them at all; it seemed that he enjoyed their way of getting along.

Kaori and Shizuku exchanged a glance, then followed the maze with mischievous grins.

The group walked into the maze.

Deep within the walls were many green stones that emitted a faint glow, allowing everyone to see clearly inside even without torches or magical lighting.

After proceeding smoothly for a while,

The group arrived at a domed hall that was seven or eight meters high.

Commander Melder, the Knight Commander, called a halt to the group from the front.

Everyone looked at him with confusion, wondering why he had stopped.

Meld pointed to the cracks in the hall wall and said:

"Next, Glorious Ones, you step forward, everyone else step back. I will have you take turns fighting, so be prepared."

"Soon a monster called a ratman will emerge from the crack. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a big enemy. If everyone stays calm, we can easily defeat it."

Meld had barely finished speaking when

Several gray fur balls suddenly darted out from the crevice.

These monsters, known as ratmen, pounced towards the front row at lightning speed.

They had heads that looked like rats, and their eyes emitted terrifying red and black pupils.

However, its upper body is like a human body, and its abdomen has a strong eight-pack.

The ratman runner charged towards Radiance and the others.

Shizuku, a swordswoman, turned pale.

That's disgusting. This kind of monster would be a huge shock to an ordinary high school student living in a peaceful era.

But at this moment, the hero Guanghui showed no sign of cowardice. He wielded his greatsword, which flashed with white light, at an almost blinding speed, and took down several ratmen in one go.

A smile crept across his lips as he glanced provocatively at Shi Yu, who was munching on sunflower seeds and watching the show.

At this moment, Shi Yu was already lost in thought, his mind wandering to the city of Axel...

They're so weak. They're not even as good as the frogs outside Axel. At least the frogs are immune to physical attacks. These ratmen don't seem to have anything to brag about except for their large numbers.

Shi Yu snapped out of his reverie.

He suddenly strode forward and said impatiently:

"Everyone here is using cheats. Can't you be a little more mature? Why are you farming this trash that isn't even level one? Let's get out of here!"

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his arm:

"Freeze!"

A terrifying chill instantly enveloped the entire hall, and the poor rats were frozen solid before they could even rush out of their nests.

Glory, who was feeling smug about killing a few ratmen, suddenly turned pale.

"Hmph! I can do it too!"

However, Shi Yu ignored him completely and went straight down to the lower level.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat awkward.

Kaori and Shizuku, on the other hand, had their eyes light up at the sight. Every time they saw Tokiyu take action, they felt more at ease.

The two of them followed Shi Yu downstairs in unison.

The brave warrior and Daisuke Hiyama, who secretly loves Kaori, both turned ashen-faced.

Knight Commander Meld rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. How could the Pope have sent in such a few disobedient people?

Then he shook his head and greeted:

"Everyone, keep up. Monsters at this level aren't really suitable for you to level up. We'll be fine when we reach floor 20."

After saying that, he took the lead and followed after them.

Chapter 42 Sorry, my weirdo has caused trouble for everyone.

"Lord Shi Yu, are you here to cause trouble?"

Melder, his expression somewhat grim, asked Shi Yu,

At this point, the group was already on the twentieth floor of the maze.

Normally, the highest level that can be reached in the Great Labyrinth of Orcus is currently sixty-five, and that was a great achievement made by adventurers more than a hundred years ago.

Nowadays, a height of over 40 floors is considered world-class, and a height of over 20 floors is considered first-class.

Logically speaking, although the students led by Guanghui didn't have much combat experience, they all had cheat codes. Their attributes, professions, and innate skills were something that the natives of this world didn't possess.

Therefore, there is no danger before the 20th floor.

This is also why Commander Melder led them here to gain more practical combat experience.

But now, this goal has been completely ruined by Shi Yu's appearance.

As for why...

Shi Yu sighed as he looked at the furious Knight Commander: "It's really not my fault. Perhaps it's because my teammates were too eager to protect these poor students."

After speaking, Shi Yu forced himself to remain calm and looked towards the battlefield in the 20th-floor underground maze.

The battlefield was in complete chaos.

A large horde of low-level undead howled and chased after Aqua, who was wailing loudly.

Because of Aqua's overwhelming divine aura, low-level undead monsters instinctively gravitate towards her in search of salvation, and she is often besieged by large numbers of undead even in the wild.

It is quite obvious that the Great Labyrinth of Orcus is teeming with undead monsters.

These low-level undead were all attracted by Aqua's divine aura and chased after her, completely ignoring the group of students who came to exercise.

Meanwhile, the non-undead, ape-like monsters, the Rock Mountain Monsters, were frantically attacking a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes.

All of its attacks on the students were blocked by the blonde, blue-eyed beauty.

That's right, that's Darkness, the masochist known as the invincible masochist in the Konosuba world.

"Leave this to me! Now's the time! Quick! Ah~ Use magic to wipe out the monster together! Don't hold back! Hmm~"

The gorilla's fist, as big as a clay pot, kept attacking Darkness.

Even her armor kept falling off under the attacks of the rock monster.

The students behind him were filled with shock.

The beautiful girl before me is actually a female knight with such noble character?!

She single-handedly held off all the monsters, even forcing them to unleash their magic to attack her as well! And I had even mocked her before! She's such a jerk!

The students were moved to tears.

"No! No, it won't work. Even if you're alone, run!"

Darkness shouted and suddenly spread her arms wide, completely abandoning her defensive stance:

"Don't talk nonsense! How could I ignore someone who's fallen! Decoy!"

The taunt skill is unleashed, firmly drawing the monster's aggro.

The students were speechless with awe as they watched Darkness, who was determined to fight to the death.

"My God! Is this the kind of role model a knight from another world can be?"

"Run away quickly, my lord!"

"You despicable scumbag Shi Yu, aren't you supposed to be strong? Hurry up and save your companions!"

"Is this the true hero of another world?"

"Commander Meld, please save her! Waaaaah!"

Radiant Hero: "Such a dazzling lady deserves a hero like me, a true hero! That wretched Shi Yu!"
