The first floor of the Dungeon.
The walls and ceiling, dyed light blue, occupied the entire field of vision. The natural labyrinth that could not see the sky extended in all directions. The passages formed by forks, crossroads, and downhill roads seemed to have no end.
In a relatively spacious space, Yami sideways avoided the wooden stick in the hands of the goblin, grabbed the back of the neck of the other goblin with one hand, and slammed it to the ground.
The heavy force splashed the gravel and simultaneously pushed back the rest of the surrounding monsters.
At this moment, a few goblins behind Yami, who were not threatened, jumped up and seemed to want to completely tear the human in front of them using their sharp teeth and claws.
However, before entering the battle, Yami had already started using the Transparent World.
Any disturbance around him could not escape his eyes.
Yami didn't even look back. He grabbed a goblin's foot with his right hand and swung it in a circle, smashing all the goblins in the air.
Many goblins collided with the wall, their heads were severely injured, and they fell to the ground and lost their breath.
Clap clap!
There was a burst of applause, and Tsubaki appeared with a surprised expression.
"Good job, boy, you really surprised me. It's your first time entering a dungeon, but you are skilled at fighting and reconnaissance. Although goblins are not powerful monsters, ordinary adults holding a kitchen knife could kill them. Still, it's rare to see it being defeated as easily as you did."
Having said that, Tsubaki showed curiosity on her face, "Have you had any special training before?"
"Captain, you can call me Yami. As for the special combat training, I haven't done any. It's just that I often hunted wild animals in the past, so I more or less have experience."
He calmly told a white lie while breaking open the goblin's body and finding the magic stone fragments the size of a peanut.
After all, he couldn't tell anyone about the system.
"No wonder, but your combat talent is also the most outstanding among the rookies I have ever seen. Perhaps our Hephaestus familia will have a powerful adventurer again~"
Thinking of this, Tsubaki couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart.
As the leader of the familia, she was too busy. In addition to handling familia affairs, she also needed to forge, and sometimes she needed to follow other familia members into the dungeon to provide equipment repair services.
She had long thought she could have a reliable and powerful guy to provide her with some help.
It was a pity that none of the other familia members were suitable candidates, but now, Tsubaki seemed to see that quality in Yami.
This was why she took the initiative to teach him!
As early as the moment she saw Yami, a very absurd idea came into her mind.
This young man in front of her would definitely become an outstanding adventurer and even become a hero expected by the gods!
Although there was no basis for her expectation, Tsubaki was inexplicably convinced of this idea!
…
After watching Yami's fight, Tsubaki also got a general idea of his fighting level.
The latter was not like a newcomer who just joined the familia. Small and medium-sized monsters at least seven floors above would be helpless against him. As long as he was not surrounded by a large number of monsters, she didn't need to worry about his safety.
Of course, he still needs to sharpen his skills after the seventh floor.
After all, a phenomenon called "monster wave" will appear on the deeper floors, and various monsters would appear together, which was especially fatal for low-level adventurers, so the benefits of the team were also reflected at this time.
After digging out all the magic stone fragments from the corpse, the goblin's corpse began to shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Yami showed surprise.
"Don't be surprised. This is the characteristic of the dungeon. According to the words of Hephaestus-sama, the dungeon is alive. It will give birth to various monsters anytime and destroy all adventurers who enter it. When the magic stone inside the monster is removed, the dungeon will automatically recycle the monsters' corpses."
"Although I don't know why, it's also something all adventurers recognize. Even if the magic stone is not taken away, the monsters' corpses will still be recovered, but it will be slower."
Tsubaki did not forget her identity as a "guide" and explained the dungeon's information to Yami.
Even though the latter was very clear about these things, he didn't express impatience.
Having someone to guide him was rare, and Yami felt very good.
At least in this claustrophobic environment, speaking with people was naturally better.
"Let's go over there!"
"There is actually a group of goblins here. Quickly raise your shields to resist, and the others attack freely."
"..."
The noisy noise not far away came to the ears of Yami, and Tsubaki frowned slightly, noticing that there were more and more adventurers around, and they were all about to come to their side.
"The monsters on the first floor are a bit weak and won't be able to help you. In addition, there are too many adventurers, and the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Let's go deeper."
"Okay, Captain."
Yami nodded obediently, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The goblins were too weak. Even if he didn't use the transparent world, they could be defeated easily with his combat experience alone.
