The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 76 - Entering The Unexplored Path



It was easy to continue our exploration with the monsters here. Even the strongest one is just an orc and we have experienced battle against orcs too many times. During our training, and also in the recent case of orc settlement.

And this dungeon is too deep. Not the path we\'re taking of course. What I\'m thinking is the path that goes after entering a hole in the ceiling.

I haven\'t entered one yet, but I can see them clearly with my Divine Vision. That\'s why I only told the girls to go to the deepest area of this floor and go up after that. The only strong monster there is a Cyclops.

I don\'t think the girls are able to defeat it yet since they are still a beginner level. But I can fight it. Especially in a closed space. I don\'t know if Victoria is strong enough to defeat it alone since she can\'t use aura, but she should be fine. Maybe I\'ll help her a bit.

Although it will be difficult to use a spear, I just need to break the spear near the tip and use it like a dagger.

"That\'s it. We have reached the end of the path. How do we get up there?"

"I can climb first then transform Victoria into a rope. You just need to grab her and I will pull you up. The hole is too narrow to fit two people so don\'t grab the rope at the same time."

I answered Angela who wonders how to get up there. They are all excited to enter the unexplored path of the dungeon.

They never seen any monsters on the ceiling. It was because Victoria and I cleared it up quickly. Most of them are just slimes so it was easy. And they are not that dangerous. Well, the most dangerous slime is my partner here. Other than her, I think there\'s not many slimes that was too strong.

As for Ellen, she seems to be preparing herself mentally since she heard that we have a Cyclops to fight. Well, usually, Cyclops are only seen on a mountain in outside. Not inside a dungeon.

The one here must be born inside the dungeon. That\'s why it can\'t escape since the hole is too narrow and it can\'t fit. It choose to stays in a room where the treasure chest is because it was the biggest room nearby.

There are more and more strong monsters inside, but there\'s only one Cyclops we will be facing. That\'s why I choose this path inside of entering other path.

And what\'s more, the inside of the treasure chest is amazing! Those are multiple Magic Stones with various elements!

There\'s some fire element, wind, lightning, ice, earth, and even a rare healing magic stones!

Usually, magic stones only appear in a place filled with certain element. Like water magic stones under the sea, fire in the volcano, and such. So a healing element magic stones are extremely rare. There are no place known to be the exact location where such magic stones appear.

I can give the fire, wind, and ice to Angela, lightning to Sophie, and healing and earth to Kayla.

Since Angela already gotten three types, for the earth magic stones I think it\'s fair if I give it to Kayla. As for Lina, I have to apologize since there\'s no summoning magic stones. Even if there\'s one, I might end up using it to cultivate instead of giving it to her.

Ellen? She didn\'t do much so we can ignore her.

There are also some other magic stones that I have never seen before inside that chest. I hope there are some air element magic stones.

As everyone has rested enough, I climbed up the hole with Victoria. She had it easy as she can turn small and enter the hole easily. As for me, I have to crawl inside that hole.

Victoria who has exited first, kill all the slimes there. As soon as I reached the end of the hole, she was just finished taking care of the slimes.

"Aren\'t they your cousins?"

"No. My cousins are as beautiful as me."

"So your cousins change their appearance according to their own preference, huh?"

"Yes. It was thanks to plastic surgery."

"What\'s that? What\'s plastic and how a surgery related to it?"

"I don\'t know much about how they do it. Let\'s just say that it\'s a surgery to change people\'s appearance or heal a scar or flaw or even birthmark that people doesn\'t want to have?"

"Making old scar disappear? Doesn\'t that sound like healing magic but through surgery? If I can learn it I might be able to get rich from female hunters or nobles who hates their scars, or freckles, or a birthmark."

"But I don\'t know how they do it. So good luck inventing it yourself."

"Does plastic surgery popular in your world?"

"They turn fuglies into beauties. What do you think?"

"But there\'s one thing we needed, right? What\'s plastic?"

"… let\'s stop thinking about it. I don\'t want this beautiful world to be filled with trash."

"What\'s that mean?"

"In my world, most of the trash that was thrown into the river or even sea, are made of plastic. They are not an edible stuffs so it endangered the animals. And if plastic is disposed by burning it, it will increase the risk of heart disease. It\'s useful but harmful at the same time if not properly taken care of."

"It\'s that harmful? And you don\'t know how to make it."

"And I don\'t know how to make it. But for healing an old scar or birthmark, there\'s no need for plastic I guess? You might need to use other part of your patients\' skin to cover the scar. And I heard that there\'s a practice that use fish\'s skin to cover a burnt skin. Good luck with that."

Using fish skin on the burnt area? That\'s interesting.

"Even though you\'re not a doctor, I can still learn a lot about medical expertise from your world. Please teach me more of what you know."

"Sure. Although I don\'t know everything, I can still give you some ideas. For now let\'s finish this exploration."

With that, we finished our chat. Then just like what I said before, she turned into a rope and I pulled everyone up to this side.

"This is the unexplored area of the dungeon... and I\'m the first one to enter here!"

"No you\'re not. I\'m the first. Don\'t forget about it. You\'re just tagging along trying to show off your experience but you haven\'t done anything at all other than asking too many questions."

"Sorry. I was just excited."

Hmm? She\'s not lashing at me like usual? I guess her attitude changed because of this exploration. I\'m just glad she stopped doing it.

"After this passage, we will encounter a Cyclops. There\'s also a treasure chests filled with magic stones of various elements. I\'ll just give Ellen one of fire magic stones and the rest is for us, okay?"

"Fine with me. Just one is enough evidence to show the guild. By the time we reported about this, there will be chaos in the guild. All the hunters will try to explore the new area and most treasure will be fought over.

What about you? It will be difficult for a C-rank hunters to continue exploring this area."

"Our goal has never been to conquer a dungeon in the first place. We\'re just here because we never entered one before. If they want to fight, let them fight each other. We have some business to attend tomorrow."

"Not us. Just you. We will go sightseeing the city. You can go alone."

"Just him? What is his business?"

"Not important."

"It is important! I\'m just curious about the ghosts."

I objected Angela that says it wasn\'t important. Looking for a house is important.

"What ghosts? Are you trying to buy that haunted building?"

"Yes."

"Are you crazy? All the previous owners choose to leave and never come back after seeing the ghosts."

"I\'m interested to test if I can punch a ghost or not."

"Is that why you\'re going? Oh wait. I forgot to not use common sense when talking with you. Do whatever you want. We might not meet again in the future after all. And if you\'re cursed, don\'t ever talk to me again."

Curse, huh? I guess I forgot about that part. Well, whatever. Once I can\'t hit the ghost, I will escape right away before the ghost curse me. Can aura protect me from curses?

No wait! More importantly, why am I so entranced with that building? Don\'t tell me the ghost already put a charm magic or curse on me when I see it before? To make me interested in the building?

Shit. Now that I know, I have to go there even more. And when I do, the first thing I will do when I see a ghost is to punch it straight in the face.

"Victoria? What\'s wrong?"

I heard Sophie called out to Victoria. What is she doing now?

She\'s just crouching and facing the wall with her hand holding her head. Does she really afraid of ghost?

"No matter what I do I\'ll just end up there. I can\'t undo the contract. I have to face the ghost. How can I escape this fate."

"You can\'t. I\'m bringing you tomorrow no matter what. Who knows if the ghosts over there are your old friends? They died and stay as a ghost in this world."

"But ghosts are scary! I don\'t believe in a friendly ghosts!"

No matter how much she hates it, I\'m taking her with me no matter what.
