Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Leos and the others had communicated with the orcs living on the fifth floor underground.

Because the Flame Dragon came near the orcs' village, they urgently moved to the third underground floor for refuge, where they met Leos and his party. After some exchanges, Leos and the others successfully obtained the location of the Flame Dragon and the location of the orcs. Roadmap.

Therefore, their route of action was very clear, and after a few hours, they soon reached the last staircase leading to Yanlong's location.

but……

"Is it really going down from here?"

Looking at the various tentacle monsters growing up and down the stairs, with no way to get down, Chirchak expressed deep doubts:

"We must have been tricked by those orcs, right?"

"No, I think this is it."

Leos looked down at the map, and after confirming that he was in the right position, he smiled and said:

"Perhaps it is because of the way this road looks that the orcs chose it as the village where they are stationed, because generally no adventurers will go from here."

This statement did sound reasonable, and he continued to laugh:

"Anyway, let's try walking for a while first."

"Wait a moment!"

At this time, Ma Xiu suddenly spoke to stop his action, and at the same time pointed his finger above his head and said:

"There are monsters up there, I think it's better to get rid of them first."

"Monster?!"

Everyone was startled and quickly looked up, but there was nothing but darkness above the light source, and nothing could be seen except the tentacle monster.

...Are there really monsters?

Seeing this, they were a little suspicious, but Maluciel tried to release a light spell. After lighting up the space above their heads, three giant frogs clung to the tentacles and watched them quietly.

At the moment they were discovered, the three giant frogs began to attack in unison, sticking out their tongues and aiming at the weapons in the hands of Laos, Sensi and Malucile respectively.

"Bang!"

Three overlapping explosions sounded, and the heads of three giant frogs were accurately blasted by Maluciel. They slipped feebly from the tentacles and fell straight through the hole in the center of the stairs.

"snort."

Maluciel snorted slightly proudly, and then asked Mashu curiously:

"How did you discover them, Matthew?"

Matthew smiled shyly:

"It should be considered an intuition, as if I felt a faint sense of malice."

Intuitive?

Everyone had this experience more or less when exploring the maze, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, Maluciel seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Leos and said:

"Speaking of which, hasn't your intuition been pretty accurate lately? Why can't it work this time?"

"this……"

Laos subconsciously touched the sword, scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"Intuition doesn't always work. But speaking of which, what worries me more is the meat of tentacle monsters and giant frogs..."

"Stop! I don't want to hear this!"

Although everything she ate along the way was monsters, Maluciel still resisted. Chirchak said speechlessly:

"Okay, let's go down first and then talk about other things."

Returning to the topic, Leos opened the way in front, and everyone followed behind, and soon discovered a serious problem——

There were so many tentacle monsters on the road that Laos' hands were sore from chopping them, but he only walked less than a circle.

Kilchak concluded:

"It's a waste of time and energy to walk this way. It's more cost-effective to take a detour."

"But if we have to take a detour..."

"Then leave it to me. I have a way to get down there faster."

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him with some doubts:

"A faster way? How to do it?"

"Well, everyone just needs to relax a little."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, then took out the Druid's Staff and cast several defensive spells on everyone. Then he raised his arms slightly, and a breeze blew from nowhere and hovered under everyone's feet, lifting them up directly. .

"Hey, this is——!?"

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. Sensi, who resisted magic, frowned. Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka controlled them and landed directly from the hole in the middle of the stairs.

Considering that it might be their first time to have this experience, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not deliberately speed up, but maintained a steady landing throughout the entire process, and reached the bottom smoothly in less than a minute.

"Okay, here we are."

Everyone looked up and looked at the corpses of three giant frogs that fell to the ground in front of them. Finally, they turned their attention to the town outside the corridor. Leos shouted in surprise:

"This is indeed the fifth underground floor. It's really fast!"

Senxi couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"I really rely too much on magic..."

"And if magic is used like this..."

At the same time, Maluciel also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with some concern, but saw that the other person's expression was as usual, as if he did not consume too much magic power.

So she paused and asked hesitantly:

"Ritsuka, are you...really okay?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Hmm...nothing..."

Malucile shook her head vaguely, and after confirming again and again that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the other party, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart:

Although the other party has been emphasizing that she has a lot of magic power, isn’t this too much?

...Or is it that she actually has too little magic power? !

No way, she was praised by the teachers at school as a genius magician...

Although she felt a little complicated, seeing that the power displayed by Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be stronger than she imagined, Malucier felt more at ease.

"Speaking of which,"

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka holding a staff in one hand and a stick in the other, Chilchak finally couldn't help asking:

"I actually wanted to ask just now, Ms. Ritsuka, you should be a magician, right? Why do you always hold a stick in your hand?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka put the druid's staff back without leaving a trace, and then answered seriously:

"I only know a little magic, but my real identity is a warrior."

Know a little magic?

Warrior?

The expressions of Malucier and Chilchak became a little subtle, and Mashu on the side smiled helplessly:

"Please rest assured, at least in the battle, the senior will not drag everyone down."

"..."

So, in fact, he is still a magician, right?

Chilchak complained in his heart.

Let's get back to the topic.

The fifth underground floor is the urban area around the castle, with a large number of brick and stone houses and stone pavements, as well as various sculptures on the streets, and traces of prosperity thousands of years ago remain everywhere.

It is precisely because of the existence of these houses that the orcs chose to settle in this place.

However, after arriving at the fifth underground floor, they did not immediately leave the castle to explore. Laos first came to the giant frog's corpse and observed carefully:

"The meat near the ground has been smashed into a pool, but the upper part of the body is still intact... Well, let's eat the giant frog and the tentacle monster for this meal!"

Maluci's cheeks suddenly flattened, and she sighed helplessly:

"We are going to fight the fire dragon next, can't we eat some normal food?"

"Maybe,"

Senxi suddenly said:

"Since the orcs evacuated in a hurry, maybe they left a lot of food?"

Hearing this, Maluci's eyes lit up instantly.
