The Dungeon Struggle Of An Earth Dragon! Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The story of the brave hero and demon king is such an interesting template.

Recovering from the shock, I continue to eat.
Un, let’s eat.
Let just forget and eat.

As I keep eating, I now know where I am.

I don’t know when this ruin was built or if it still goes by the same name, but this place seems to be called the Eld Desert.
It appears that there’s Eld Mine on the north side of this place and a large forest spreading out to the west.
Unfortunately, there’s no map.
Only the name appeared from the knowledge. There’s no information on topography and location of the place.

I did get some information about monsters and this area though.

Still, I need more than that.
Looking at the rest of lithograph, there's a lot of letters.
I don't know the content since there are no pictures.
Even so, the knowledge from the lithograph will instantly flow into me if I eat it.

There’s still a lot of ill.u.s.trated lithograph left. Should I try changing the flavour a bit?

I wonder what’s written here.
I decided to eat the character-only lithograph which was next to the monster lithograph.
Sniff Sniff
It smells good~
If the lithograph with ill.u.s.tration before is a meat dish, this one smells sweet like a fruit.
It’s refreshing.

This is perfect for a change of flavour.

Now then, let’s eat.

Among the character-only lithograph, I feast on the exceptionally large one.

Crunch. Munch Munch Munch
Gulp

Oh, the knowledge is flowing in.
Now, let’s see……..

Sacred Sword: Leviathan
How to use・Sealed location・Release conditions

Something amazing came out!
Afterwards, I keep eating the character-only lithograph.
And something else came out too……..

Sacred Sword Leviathan, G.o.d-Killing Spear Gungnir, Treasured Sword Futsunomitama, G.o.dly Shield Svǫl, Thunder Hammer Mjölnir, Trishula, Tathlam and others……

Apparently, the lithograph next to monster picture book is about weapons. To be precise, details of sacred and legendary weapons.

Weapons with a dangerous name.
G.o.d-killing…….. I'm definitely not going to do so.

What was mainly written are how to use the weapon, the seal location, how to release the seal, power, magic consumption and so on.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time believing the power and effect of these weapons.

What do you mean it can slash dimension?
What do you mean a swing can split the sea?
A single strike will turn a continent into ruin……

Oh, oof…….

Th-this world sure has a lot of dangerous weapons.
I guess that's why most are completely sealed.

In such circ.u.mstances, the thing I concerned about is “magic”.
And “magic stone”.

These two words came out pretty much in every weapon.

It seems like there’s an energy called magic in this world.
I wonder if it’s the same as electrical energy from my previous life.
It is likely that magic can display various effects of the weapons and can also be used by monsters………

It makes me realized again that this place is a fantasy world.

d.a.m.n it. If I knew it will turn out like this, I would’ve asked Hanada the new graduate to borrow his manga and anime.
『Senpai, if you were told to choose between elf or dark elf, you definitely have to pick the one with the delicious sandwich! 』I was told something like that as a joke.

I did nothing but work so I know little about that kind of entertainment.
At best, I only know about fantasy from movies.

Next is the magic stone.
Who would’ve expected the gemstone that I ate is the magic stone.
As the name suggested, it’s a stone that contains magical power.
And it's not the name of entertainment agency.

A battery as you would like to say?
An energy source that activates tools, a battery so to speak.
That is a magic stone.
It seems that you can also make various magic tools by processing the magic stone itself.
A magic stone with good quality magic is likely to produce magic tools with better effect.

Incidentally, the stone statue that I make is also a magic tool.
Which is known as the golem.

It seems that the performance of the golem is based on the material of the stone and magic stone.
Ah, now I remembered, Ann did say something like that before.
I was not paying attention at that time. After all, she’s an ant.

Now that I found information of magic tool here, everything's fine.
It sure is quite useful.

Let’s eat lithographs at the next place.
I continue moving slowly in a counter-clockwise direction.
Finally, I've covered half the dome.  This spot seems to be good.

Here, instead of lithograph, the characters were engraved on the mural and the ground itself.
The mural has a drawing of Shinto priest on it.
For some reason, the guy in the picture has a sword in his hand fighting against a mysterious looking guy.

The carving on the ground feels like a spectacular drawing of Nazca Lines.
It's a drawing of a dragon.
Spreading its six wings, having three necks, the dragon has a long body like a snake.

It somehow looks similar to the monster on the mural.
By any chance, I wonder if the mural here is about this monster.

Should I eat it?
Uh, still, it will not be easy to eat a wall.
I cut a lil' bit the edge of the wall. From there, I sc.r.a.pe the part that's hard to eat before.

Now then. Aahn.
Munch Munch Munch
Oh, it has different kind of bitter taste to it, isn't it?
It's like a black chocolate.
It's an adult taste.
I don't dislike it at all.

Gulp.
Uoh, here it comes, a lot of information is coming in….

『About the Demon King Argill and the Brave Hero Cadias』

Eh, a story of a demon king and a hero?
Let see, I wonder what kind of story is it.

The knowledge flooding in is about the historic battle of demon king and hero of this world.

The 5-years sacred record.
This world's human race, the continent "Faudo" was exposed to a threat.
From the being known as the demon.
Beings that have control over monsters.
High intelligence, advanced magic skill and bottomless pit of desire.
In order to make the human as their slaves, they wage war against the whole Faudo.
And a brave hero appeared—

Too long. Omitted.

The one who governs the demon is called the demon king. It's a story of a brave hero, mankind strongest existence, standing up against it.

Long.
This story is way too long.
If this was a book, surely, it'll easily exceed one million word counts.
That's how long it is.
I wonder if I can understand this piece by piece.
It's a useful knowledge but it's tough to review later on.

Let's read from the memory when I have time.
It seems good to kill time with it.

I was fortunate to know the origin of this world and all the history of human and demons.
Further, from the history flow, I was able to make an exact guess the topography and location of the continent.
Also, information on demons.
Strength, characteristic and where to find them.
But only roughly so.

Coming so far, there's a question still left unanswered.

This lithograph or rather the ruin, who on earth made them?
I mean, this knowledge got buried this far.

Maybe this is the human ruins, either that or it's artificially made by the hand of some or a single human.
It's an a.s.sumption based on the knowledge that I have consumed so far.

It doesn't matter who made it.

I do appreciate it though. I manage to learn a lot thanks to it.

So far, about monsters, magic stone, weapons and the history of the brave hero and the demon king. And that's only the half of this place.
It got me thinking again that this dome is very huge.

Fu~u……………., I'm getting sleepy now that I'm full.

Should I rest here for today?

In that case, goodnight.

I fell asleep on the geoglyph of Demon King Argill with the brave hero lithograph as my futon.
