Chapter 410 - CH.390: Another Great Dungeon.

( Yuuki's POV )

Our dungeon exploration group plus Shea returned to the land of Tortus to the entrance of the Raisen dungeon, The place was a cave with a monolith marking the spot, and inside that cave was a small room with a sign on the wall that said 'please come in! Into Miledi Raisen's thrilling Great Dungeon?

Just looking at that sign I knew that Miledi hadn't put in the same seriousness as the creator of the Orcus dungeon but that was no reason to let my guard down.

The room we were in had no visible entrance and the sign gave no clue and before I could do anything about it Shea started touching the walls trying to find an entrance.

Yuuki: Careful Shea, we don't know if there might be traps.

Shea: Kyaaa-

The Orcus dungeon had traps in the fake and real one and the probability of the same thing being here was high but just as I gave my warning to Shea, she ran into a revolving trap door and fell into another room.

I let out a sigh and then followed behind Shea, the room where she had fallen was in complete darkness but I could see in the darkness so that was no problem, the same was not true for Shea who tripped and fell in a not very dignified position, her face on the ground and her butt raised giving me a good view.

I was going to help her up but I moved quickly when I sensed danger, I picked Shea up and moved her out of danger, then a torrent of black arrows passed through the place where we were.

I didn't feel any more danger after that trap was activated so I summoned a drone to light up the room and then checked on Shea.

Yuuki: Are you okay?

Shea: Uww, I think I hurt my leg, you'll have to carry me for a while.

I didn't need my mystic eyes to know she was lying when I saw how she was rubbing her head on my chest with a smile, I let go of Shea and the rest of the girls entered the room.

After passing through the arrow trap we arrived at a place that was like a main room of the dungeon, with many doors that I assumed led to more rooms filled with traps.

The effects of the Raisen Cannon were much stronger inside the dungeon and any magic that wasn't concentrated within one's body was useless here, that was a pity for just one of us Yue but the sacred gear I created for her also took care of that, the puppet could open up and create a space where Yue's small body could fit, it was like a personal mecha for her.

Yuuki: Anyone want to pick a door?

Shea: Oh, me, let's go this way!

With so many options the only thing we could do was pick at random and Shea was the one who did not hesitate to make her choice.

Tsukiumi: You're sure it's the best way to go about things.

Cecilia: Walking without a plan isn't your style.

Yuuki: I can function as a living trap detector, to know more about the dungeon we have to keep going forward.

We moved around the dungeon and quickly realized what kind of place this dungeon was, first, unlike the Orcus dungeon, there were no magical beasts here, but that didn't make the place any less dangerous, as I thought, each door in the dungeon led to more traps, at the end of the rooms there were more doors to choose from to continue, but after passing through several traps we always found ourselves in the main room of the dungeon.

My ability to detect danger warned me of traps before they were activated, but some of those traps were capable of surpassing our technology, for example, in a room where a circular saw that protruded from the wall at chest level was made of rare, super-resistant materials that could pass through our automatic barriers as if they were nothing.

After returning to the main hall of the dungeon about a dozen times we sat down for a short break.

Shea: urg This place is horrible, my head hurts just thinking about the next trap we're going to find, maybe we should start mapping the place.

Yuuki: Don't worry, I think I know where to go.

No matter which path we took we always ended up returning to this room but in certain rooms with dangerous traps there were secret passages that were visible when the traps were activated, I didn't want to go into those places because it was very likely that we would find traps worse than those we had already gone through, but now I was very sure that was the path we should take.

Yuuki: Shea, stay close to me.

Shea: eh here? You're finally accepting my feelings, ehe I'm happy.~

Yue: Perverted bunny, Yuuki doesn't want you to keep activating traps.

Since there were no enemies in this dungeon, Yue had come out of her sacred gear and what she said was right, I wanted Shea to stay close to me because she was activating most of the traps we found, and Yue didn't like Shea's reaction so she approached me too.

Yue was cute when she got jealous, so I let the two of them do whatever they wanted.

The place we went to was the aforementioned circular saw on the walls, That was a narrow corridor and when I entered there I aimed for a place on the ceiling of the corridor.

Yuuki: There's another secret door there.

The girls started to go through the hidden door, and Shea was the last to pass.

Yuuki: Watch your step, Shea.

*Click*

Shea: ... Yuuki.

Despite my warning Shea activated the trap again, I ran in front of her and activated my dragon armor on my arm, when the circular saw flew towards us, I caught it with my hand, but the saw continued spinning for a moment and it managed to pass through my armor and left a cut on my hand, Shea was able to get through the secret door at that moment and when I tried to follow behind her I felt danger again and many more saws came towards me.

Shea: Yuuki!

I activated my full dragon armor, my Hollow mask and my sage mode at the same time and stood still to stop the trap, Arrancars can use a defensive technique called Hierro that hardens the skin using spiritual energy, all of that combined was enough to stop all the saws with minimal damage.

Then I jumped through the secret door and we continued on our way.
