Chapter 21.2: Floating Veil (2)

Large, green-skinned monsters emerged from the brush and approached with low cries. They looked just like what one would see in the game.

Eight in total. Some of them had rusty iron swords or spears in their hands.

“Are these bastards crazy and coming down here to hunt?”

Rodin and his members did not hesitate to step forward and start slaughtering the Orcs.

Those with spear swords fought in front, and assisted in the battle by throwing arrows and magic from behind. Asher and I watched the scene in silence.

In particular, since there was Rodin who was over level 30, the battle ended simply.

We sat down for a while, rested, and chatted with the adventurers.

“Orcs are smarter than you think, so even seasoned adventurers can be hunted and killed if they make a mistake. The weapons the Orcs were holding earlier were originally used by stealing other adventurers’ weapons.”

“Right.”

Of course, that was something I knew.

Since Orcs lived in a community as a tribal unit, their intelligence was excellent for a monster.

As I accepted the conversation well, the adventurers also added more stories.

“Do you know about how the Orc monster wave happens?”

“Isn’t it something that rarely happens when a mutant king appears?”

“Yes, you knew. Originally, because of their tyrannical nature, they couldn’t gather in large groups. When a king is born, all of them unite under him and become a completely terrible disaster.”

Monster wave.

As the name suggests, it referred to a phenomenon in which a huge group of monsters rushes like a wave.

There were many causes, but one of them was the existence of a ‘king’, a mutant that was very rare among monsters.

The monsters from which the king was born were typically Orcs and Lizardmen. When the king was born, an overwhelming army of monsters, from thousands to tens of thousands, was formed and invaded human territory.

If it’s an Orc King, then it would be over level 70.

Anyway, such monster waves were major events that often occurred in the game’s story.

After taking a break, we started moving again.

***

It had been a week since we started searching the Tyrell Mountains.

As expected, the adventurers did not get lost and successfully guided them to their destinations.

However, after searching many peaks and canyons, I still hadn’t found the mystery.

Even as I moved, I continued to search hard for my memory.

I’m sure it was a canyon terrain.

It was not narrow, but quite wide, and I remember that the slopes of the cliffs on both sides were gentle. Although not accurate.

None of the canyons I had passed so far matched my memory.

And what else was there…

“It’s a canyon.”

Rodin said as he looked at the scene that appeared in front of us.

It was now the fifth gorge they had encountered.

“…”

Uh? Wait a second–.

I narrowed my eyes at the shape of the gorge, which somehow seemed to match my vague memories.

I was busy moving my gaze and scanning the gorge, but there was a commotion around me. There were also orcs.

This time, instead of a few, Rodin and his members frowned at the horde of orcs that protruded in dozens.

“…There are a little more this time?”

“They’re still just Orcs, though. Arma, prepare a big magic.”

As always, Rodin and his men prepared for battle. Still, there were a lot of numbers this time, so they showed a bit of nervousness.

But they were still always the first to go into battle…

“Asher.”

“Yes.”

“Take care of everything.”

The orcs were a great hindrance to this situation, where I was trying to remember something.

At my words, Asher drew her sword and swung it at the slowly approaching group of Orcs.

Chow!

The gigantic blue aura that erupted from her sword cut the bodies of the orcs in two at once.

Rodin and the members, who were about to go into battle at the sight, instantly became stunned.

“Uh, uh…”

As the canyon became quiet again, I continued to look around and retrieve my memory.

Soon after, I rushed to one side when something came to my mind. Asher followed me.

…Yes

Obviously, this was it.

I moved while looking at the cliff, just like when I was looking for super regeneration, and stopped at a certain point. And I raised my head.

A convex cliff faced high overhead, and a tree standing alone at the edge.

The video of the user who got the floating veil clearly had this composition of view.

“Asher, try breaking down this wall.”

Kwaaang!

As Asher broke down the wall, the stone fragments came crashing down, revealing a passage inside.

Old stone stairs going down.

Seeing that, I smiled with joy.

I finally found it.

This was the dungeon where the mystery of the floating veil was hidden.

Rodin and the rest of his group also came up and looked at the entrance, wide-eyed.

I told them;

“Wait here for a while.”

Leaving them behind, I went down the stairs with Asher and headed inside.
