Chapter 155 Enduring the Battle

"Your Majesty, I am the guild master of the Desert Village branch of the Adventurers' Guild. You can call me Reis."

A dwarf rabbit-man, only half the height of a human, bowed deeply to Dante. This morning, after hearing that the Papacy's Emperor had arrived, Reiss rushed over here without stopping.

Dante bowed to Reiss in return, and then said, "You've come at the right time. I hope you can temporarily seal off the dungeon."

"Um—that's no problem, but could you tell me the specific reason?"

So Dante told Reese about Norn from the beginning, adding at the end, "After he came here, he seems to have changed his name to Homan, and he's taken on quite a few missions with you."

Reston immediately became alert, his ears perking up: "Sir, a dark sorcerer looks no different from an ordinary person once he takes off his black robes, so you can't blame me!"

"I don't mean to blame you, but I hope you can be more vigilant in this regard in the future, so that those heretics don't make money here."

"I understand. I'll go back and inform them now."

Just as Reiss was about to leave, Dante called him back.

"I've captured several dark mages in the forest near the main road outside the village. Send men to kill them; I want to see their heads."

"Okay, okay, I'll call a group of adventurers over right away."

Inside the passageway leading to the underground city, a fat rat poked its head out of the grass, its eyes fixed on Dante, who was sitting outside the hole.

The old man stood ramrod straight, his eyes closed, a golden greatsword planted in the ground, his hands clasped together on the hilt.

He had maintained this posture all morning, remaining motionless like a statue. Others probably thought he was asleep, but Norn knew that he had been using detection magic to sense the entrance to the cave.

Norn controlled the fat rat and made it run towards the outside of the hole.

The next second, Norn felt an extremely strong force pushing him back.

The harder Norn resisted it, the stronger the force became, eventually solidifying into an invisible barrier that Norn couldn't advance even a single step, no matter how hard he tried.

"This must be the might of the Holy Emperor." Norn stopped and plopped down on the ground.

Between each level of the dungeon, there is an invisible wall that prevents the monsters from surging upwards, but this force seems to be one-way, and the monsters are not blocked when they go down from the upper level.

Norn deliberately possessed this large rat that didn't look like a monster, hoping to escape and contact Shared to ask for help. It seems he can only rely on himself to get out of trouble.

Dante sensed a rat behaving strangely inside the hole.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a fat rat not far from the entrance of its hole, its back turned, its rear end sticking out, its anus facing me, shaking itself and spraying out filth with a crackling sound.

"You bastard!"

Dante raised his right hand and slashed at Norn, a thin golden thread flying straight towards Norn and slicing its body in two.

Norn sat up from the grass, while Arno lay beside him with blood all over his mouth, surrounded by the remains of monsters.

"It seems Dante is really planning to lie in wait at the entrance and catch me. Trying to force my way out will only lead to my death."

Norn transferred his brain to Arno again, making himself invisible.

Since Dante is planning to ambush me, then I'll wait and see! Norn didn't believe that old guy could keep waiting for him at the cave entrance forever; there would come a time when he wouldn't be there.

Before that, Norn needs to find a hiding place in the dungeon.

On the main road, a group of adventurers covered in grime were heading back to report with the spoils they had painstakingly acquired.

One of them was suddenly pushed down by something, and before he could react, he felt a pair of large hands groping his body without restraint.

He screamed in terror, "There's something dirty! Help me!"

Finally, a well-worn copy of "The Howling Dungeon Guide" was pulled from the lining of his leather armor, floated in the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then the invisible giant hands disappeared, and everything that had just happened seemed like a hallucination.

"How much longer are you going to lie on the ground? If you waste any more of our time, I'll shove a dagger down your ass!"

"No, something really did just happen, and it took my strategy guide too."

The man was still trying to explain himself, but seeing his teammate walking further and further away, he got up and quickly caught up.

Holding the strategy book, Norn couldn't help but marvel at how useful this black magic of invisibility was.

Since most of the monsters in the dungeon are slightly poisonous, food becomes a major problem for Norn if he wants to settle here for a long time.

He opened the stolen strategy guide and found the only edible monster on the first floor: the pissy fish.

This fish mainly inhabits a murky lake. It has a lot of shell and little meat. The meat is not only dry and tough, but also has a pungent urine smell. It is a veritable otherworldly cleaner. The first person to discover that it is not poisonous was truly a remarkable person.

Norn found the murky lake in the swamp forest using the map in the guide.

The lake water here is grayish-brown, and you can't see the bottom of the lake even when you stand on the shore. In some areas, the broken corpses of monsters are floating on the surface of the water.

"There are fish in a place like this?!"

Norn dipped his hands into the lake, and red arcs of electricity entered the lake, quickly spreading across the entire surface.

Soon after, several fish carcasses floated to the surface of the lake.

Norn caught one and found that this fish really looked like a scavenger, with layers of armor on its outside, as hard as rock. The only difference was that the fish's shell was more varied in color, with red and yellow.

After easily crushing the outer shell and removing the head and tail, the only edible part is a piece of belly meat about the length of a finger.

Norn retrieved his brain, put the fish sashimi in his hand into his mouth and bit off half of it. Thanks to his "iron stomach" ability, Norn felt that eating it raw would not upset his stomach.

"Hmm, the texture is not bad, a bit like lobster—ugh!!"

Norn had only taken two bites when an extremely pungent ammonia smell assaulted his senses, causing him to immediately spit out the fish meat in his mouth.

"It's like pork that's been soaking in the Ganges for a month and has gone bad. Eating this stuff is worse than eating shit!"

Norn tossed the remaining half of the fish on the ground, and Arno quickly picked it up, popped it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Go down.

Norn was inspired by this way of eating: "Wouldn't it be better to just swallow it?"

Just then, they heard voices from not far away, and Norn and Arno immediately went invisible.

Norn felt the voice sounded familiar. He told Arno to stay where he was and tiptoed over. He immediately recognized the owner of the unpleasant voice.

Mur walked at the front of the group, beaming with joy as he basked in the praise of his teammates, with a voluptuous woman in his arms.
