I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Chapter 418

Chapter 418

(418) Succubus Demon Lord

Translator: Tseirp

We headed to the dungeon in the Northwestern part of the Royal Capital .

A barricade was built around the dungeon but in addition to the letter of recommendation from the Adventurers Guild, we had a letter with the Robuti family crest prepared by Sebastan so we were allowed to pa.s.s .

They said that n.o.body was inside the dungeon but that Hero party could probably enter the dungeon through the gaps of the guards on duty .

“It is strange, he said it was full of monsters but it is too quiet . ”

“I don’t sense any monster presences either . ”

Haru took the lead as she remained vigilant of her surroundings .

“According to the information Carol received, it seemed that the monsters no longer appeared immediately after the Hero entered the dungeon . ”

In other words, the Hero defeated all the monsters that sp.a.w.ned?

But I could not defeat all the monsters in the Florence dungeon even with Carol’s ability . Is it possible to defeat them all, even including the ones that will resp.a.w.n?

That would be impossible unless he set up a base at the entrance of the first floor and defeat all the monsters that are about to leave .

In the end, we proceeded toward the underground stairs that seemed to lead further down and didn’t sense any sign of monsters throughout the entire first floor .

Was this some kind of a trap?

What about the information that monsters were overflowing just recently?

Just as I had that thought .

“Master, I smell monsters from below . An amazing number of them . ”

Haru squinted and reported .

We proceeded down the shortest route to the bas.e.m.e.nt by relying on her sense of smell .

When we reached the sixth floor, I doubted my eyes .

A large number of monsters were overflowing .

However, they didn’t aim to climb up the stairs or look at us but were all aiming for something .

“Tornado Slash!”

I drew White Wolf Fang and swung it .

The tornado that was generated was different in speed, power, size, and everything that I was familiar with .

The instant it swallowed the monsters, it cut through everything and left only drop items in the area it pa.s.sed .

One of the factors may be that my raised stats from Demon Lord level but the power of the newly reborn White Wolf Fang was the main reason .

I used to treat it like my own arm but now it felt even more like a part of my body than before .

It was a good sword .

But where were the monsters aiming for?

As though they were affected by Carol’s Moon’s Captivating Fragrance … no way .

“Quince-sama!?”

Carol shouted .

That’s right, if it was Quince-san who has the same ability as Carol as the Succubus Queen, she would naturally have the skill from Temptress which is the precursor job of the Succubus Queen .

And if the time when monsters stopped appearing coincided with the time when the Hero entered the dungeon, it meant that Quince-san had been using the Moon’s Captivating Fragrance the entire time .

The Moon’s Captivating Fragrance is a pa.s.sive skill that is always effective at night or in dungeons .

Carol could compensate for the weakness of the Moon’s Captivating Fragrance activation by switching jobs but that was a trick that only I or Carol can do as my Kin .

Monsters attracted by the Moon’s Captivating Fragrance would not attack the source . But that was only temporary . Eventually, the berserk monsters would attack the Temptress .

At this rate, Quince-san was in danger .

I ran in the direction the monsters were headed .

The flock of monsters never ceased along the way .

“Double Slash!”

The two sword waves released by Haru – – the flames from the Fire Dragon’s Fang and the wind from the Wind Blade, swallowed the monster herd like it was a real dragon’s breath .

“I will deal with the enemies that were missed . ”

The arrows released by Malina’s bow did not miss even the smallest of monsters and shot down all our enemies .

“Master, I smell blood from the room ahead!”

“Is Quince-san there?”

In that case, I would hurt her if I released a big skill here .

There was still a large herd of monsters until the room but there was no choice but to defeat them one by one .

“Dark Thousand Swords . ”

As soon as I had that plan, Miri created dark swords and cleared out the monsters blocking the path .

“You’ll hit Quince-san!”

“Don’t worry . She is a former executive of the Demon Lord Army . She can block an attack of this caliber . ”

Beyond Miri’s squint, there was a particularly large stone monster .

A Stone Golem?

It died after receiving Miri’s attack and a black-haired little girl appeared from behind it .

She held a mace that was much larger than her height .

“That was quite a rough treatment . It would have been dangerous if I was late in manipulating a monster to become my shield . You’ve finally been reborn and become younger so I wanted you to be more mature . You’re always so unreasonable . ”

The young girl said as she looked at Miri .

I checked that young girl’s job .

【Succubus Queen: Lv75】

As expected, that girl was – –

“Ara, aren’t you the one that turned younger? You sure are popular . ”

Miri said sarcastically to the young girl – – Quince-san .

I heard that Mini-hume appear to be about five or six years old but I didn’t expect her to be so small .

“Quince-sama, are you all right?”

“Carol, are you asking if I am safe after seeing this situation?”

As Quince-san said that, a giant bear suddenly appeared from behind her and swung its claws down .

She dodged it and hit it with a blow from her mace .

She’s strong – – but where did that monster come from?

I didn’t sense its presence at all .

It was teleported, or rather, it sp.a.w.ned there directly .

“Onii, don’t approach any further . I told you . A Temptress not only attracts monsters but also miasma . In a normal dungeon that would not be an issue but I fear all the miasma in the world, not only from the war-torn Mallegory, is gathered here to eat at Tet . Quince is gathering a portion of that miasma in this room . ”

“You have changed to yap about unnecessary matters . I recall you used to be a lot more reticent . ”

Quince-san said and laughed in mockery .

“Miri-san, what will happen to Quince-sama!?”

“At this rate, she will soon exceed her capacity for miasma and become a Demon G.o.d . As the Hero’s party is aiming for . ”

“Rest a.s.sured . I won’t give in to miasma that easily . ”

“Lies . Quince, your hair color is originally a bright purple color . Your dark-dyed hair is evidence that you have been dyed by miasma . I won’t say more, leave the dungeon now and lock yourself up in some enclosed room . ”

“And drag the dungeon monsters with me? That would lead to a lot of casualties . I can’t leave here . ”

Was Quince-san planning to sacrifice herself to protect the townspeople?

Was this part of your plan, Hero Alesio?

“Don’t worry, until you all finish it, I will not – -”

While Quince-san was in mid-sentence, a giant tiger appeared behind her this time .

Quince-san’s reaction was delayed due to the sudden appearance .

I did not have time to draw my sword either .

In that instant, a wind arrow pierced through the monster .

“My quick draw is O . One second . It will scatter the moment you blink . ”

I was glad to have Malina .

I think one second is too much . Are you O-ta-kun? (TN: 〇太君, O is the usual censor, not sure what reference this is . )

“There is a pitfall trap at the end of the pa.s.sage there . It is a hole that drops to the 13th floor at once . It’s a shortcut if you jump down it . Stop the Hero and Demon G.o.ds . ”

As Quince was speaking .

A black mist appeared .

It was similar to the miasma that consumed Tet-sama’s s.p.a.ce .

At this rate – –

“Onii, go . Don’t waste Quince’s resolve . ”

Miri said to me .

Right, there was nothing I could do even if I stayed there .

Even if I forcibly bring Quince-san to the surface, it was nighttime right now – – her fragrance would draw the monsters into town . If I took Quince to My World, the miasma would return to the original flow and the monsters will overflow from the dungeon .

All I could do was to improve the situation as soon as possible .

Let’s go – – just as I had that thought .

“Ichino-sama, sorry, Carol will remain here too . ”

“Carol, what are you saying!?”

Quince raised her voice .

“I have this ring Ichino-sama gave me . With this, I can resist the miasma a little . ”

“I can tell just by looking . That ring certainly will keep miasma away but it does not have any effect of removing the miasma that enters your body and its effect is weak in a place full of miasma like this . You have no reason to sacrifice yourself . ”

“No, I am not sacrificing myself . All I have to do is endure until Ichino-sama returns . ”

s.h.i.t, is that really the correct choice?

Is there no way to help everyone?

【Skill: According to x.x.xX’s effect, Kin Strengthening II effect has been activated . 】

What? Kin Strengthening II?

Kin Strengthening was the skill to raise the stats of my kin .

No, wait .

I did see the skill description for Kin Strengthening and while Kin Strengthening II is probably an upgrade, I had not seen it yet .

There was an additional line .

Lend a skill?

What kind of skill – – I had too many skills to organize and could not find it immediately .

“Carol, check your status! Is there any additional skill!?”

“Ye-yes! Status Open!”

Carol quickly verified her skills .

“Barrier Magic has been added!”

“ — ! Use 『Holy Barrier』! If you do that, the miasma will not enter the barrier!”

“Understood! 『Holy Barrier』!”

After Carol cast the spell, the black mist could not enter the barrier .

“Quince-sama, quickly come over here . ”

“Ah … but what about the monsters!?”

Quince-san entered the barrier but the newly sp.a.w.ned monsters could slip through the barrier . The barrier only prevented miasma but not monsters .

At this rate, it didn’t change the fact that Carol would be in danger .

Who should stay behind?

Not only that, even though I had defeated the monsters earlier, monsters were approaching us from behind .

Just what should I do – – as I was deep in thought .

Something ran through the horde of monsters .

“Jo~! I’m here to help!”

“Jo~! I’m here to help!”

Jofre and Elize appeared on top of Centaur, with a carrot hanging in front of it, kicking down the monsters .
