My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Day 57

|SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT|

|SACRED WORLD EVENT [Hero vs Demon Lord] HAS COMMENCED|

|ALL SACRED BEARERS WILL BE ALERTED TO THIS AND MAY CHOOSE SIDES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE ALREADY UNDER THE BANNER OF EITHER [Champion of the Endless] OR [Champion of the World] |

|NOTE: IT IS NOT COMPULSORY TO JOIN THE FIGHT, HOWEVER THERE WILL BE REWARDS GIVEN FOR PARTAKING IN THIS EVENT, AS LONG AS THE SACRED BEARER LIVES|

|DO YOU WISH TO PARTAKE IN THIS? |

>[YES]/[NO]

Just as Daxia and I were about to enter the dungeon, we heard weird trumpet noises, followed by this weird golden screen in front of us.

Daxia advised me on the issue, saying that the last time something like this happened, it caused a bit of a stir and that was what even made the tomb we were about to raid. According to her, she had received alerts like this three times, but this was the first time she had received such an alert.

She turned it down to help me grind in the tombs, so I decided to do the same.

The real reason was that I didn’t want to participate in a fight between the hero of the world and the demon lord. Even worse, they wanted us to pick sides? I couldn’t be caught dead siding with the wrong person and eventually being declared an enemy of the winner.

The only downside was not getting any rewards for ignoring it.

|THE SACRED WORLD EVENT [Hero vs Demon lord] WILL LAST A TOTAL OF 168 HOURS|

|YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE WITHIN THIS PERIOD. NO PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN FOR JOINING AFTER THE 6TH DAY|

After that, the screen closed off, leaving me with Daxia alone.

‘Well, that’s not foreboding at all.’

“Hurry up.”

Daxia was already at the entrance to the tomb, pushing the giant boulder blocking out entry.

‘For a great revered tomb that was made five years ago, this place looks like it’s been here for at least a century.’

“The tomb represents the heart of the being that was slain.”

‘Dark, hollow and sealed shut in a rock? Sounds like my math teacher, Kushieda-sensei.’

She managed to roll over the rock, revealing a dark cave. The moment I got close to it I could feel an eerie gaze on me. Just like back at Garand’s tower. That was impossible though. There was no way that very same thing was here.

[[Shadow’s Crib] is shaking at the presence]

‘Oh, for crying out loud!’

‘G-guys, I’m g-getting a really bad f-feeling about this.’

‘You’re just being a wuss.’

‘Hmm, I don’t see anything bad with a little bit of grinding. We’ll be in and out before anyone knows it. And we’ve got Daxia here to help, so no biggie.’

“Hmm, this tomb looks like a tight fit.”

I almost forgot how huge Daxia was. She would have a bit of a problem moving about freely in the cave, but I doubted it would affect her much.

‘Speaking of, why are there two tombs for the sea devil?’

I was asking because I asked Sunalla about the tomb, she told me that it was a place being kept neatly by the Atlantean Guard. According to her, the Sea Devil was beaten really close to Atlantis and his heart was transformed into a dungeon core, which created a dungeon that they called [The Cursed Tomb of the Sea Devil]. To prevent anyone from Exsuole from trying to awaken him again, they put it under tight surveillance. Nearly as important as protecting the pillars even.

So, the question was why wouldn’t the invaders try to come awaken him then? If they had him, they could easily win just like they were before 5 years ago, right?

“The one at Atlantis is a fake. This the real one, somewhere no one would ever suspect a tomb to be. It’s even impossible to enter unless special cases like us, but I sort of get why they’d make a fake.”

‘Special cases like us?’

I asked and she pointed to where I assumed her ears were supposed to be.

“Remember the trumpets?”

‘Oh. A sacred bearer?’

She nodded in response to that.

Still, I didn’t know whether the Atlanteans were overkill or just plain stupid. Most likely the former. At least now I knew why she told me to not bring anyone, not even Kawaii.

‘Just me and you for this dungeon raid. We shall be dubbed, the Dungeon Raiders!’

She grabbed me by my neck and threw me into the hole.

[You have entered [The Cursed Tomb of the Sea Devil]]

[You will not be able to leave till you have completed the fifth level of this dungeon]

I could hear the boulder to the tomb closing, just before I was left alone in the dark.

‘Ha… just me, I guess. Dungeon raider… yay.’

Did she just throw me in here cause my name was too epic for her? I bet she wished she could come up with a cooler name for a duo.

I tried looking around, but I couldn’t see anything. Of course, I could sense all the monsters hiding in the dark and watching me. They probably thought I was easy pickings because of how difficult it was to see here.

I conjured up an orb of light in my hand to illuminate the entire room. The light could only reach so far, covering a tiny radius around me. Surprised, I decided to conjure up more orbs all around the room and ended up creating about 10 orbs just so I could see well.

It was a dark, slimy cave with beasts called bukavacs. They were toad-like monsters with gnarled horns protruding their heads and about six feet, all crawling on the walls of the cave or standing on rocks. They had long finned tails and their scales were of different colours like red, yellow, green, amber or black. Their golden frog eyes glared at me voraciously like they had found a meal for the day.

This was the average status screen for the bukavacs. They had some decent amount of mana and magic power. These guys would definitely beat all the timber wolves from back home if they were to fight, with the except of Shiroi.

Sadly, they weren’t even relatively my match.

I counted about 70 of them, most of whom were hiding from the light. They opened their mouth, showing me their fangs and forked teeth, as if to say “dinner is here”.

For this raid, I had decided to limit myself to not using [Shadow Demon Summoning]. If I did, I would have ended up making everything too easy for myself and wouldn’t have grown properly, in terms of skill and magic usage. So, I would be using only magic and skills for this raid, no summoning, no running away, unless I really was in a life-or-death situation.

‘Alright then! Come at me!’

I used [Taunt] on them. It was super effective.

About a dozen boars all shot themselves towards me like torpedoes. I easily dodged the first guy then slapped his back with a [Lightning Jab]. The attack caused a ripple effect in which all the others that were close to me also got hit by the sparks and all slowed down.

It wasn’t enough to kill them, but I easily took half of their health points away with that one hit. I was happy that I’d made so much progress since first coming to this world.

After seeing me easily paralyse most of their friends, I assumed that the others would hesitate to fight me. Stupidly, they all came attacking me without the fear of death evident in their eyes.

Some opened their mouths and produced loud weird sounds that if they hit, would have felt like being punched several times over. Of course, I didn’t let their attacks land and threw ice and water spears all around to penetrate their tough hides. My attacks didn’t pierce most of them, but did aggravate them.

They turned around and their skins turned to a deeper shade. Simultaneously, they all croaked at me, creating a powerful shockwave that forced the entire cave to shake. Even the slimy goo slowly dropped down from the ceiling of the cave and I had to avoid it.

The goop was actually an acid that these bukavacs secreted after or before a meal. Judging from the amount splattered all over the walls of this place, they had been waiting for years for their first proper meal. Dungeon mobs weren’t really alive after all. They were the most NPC thing ever in this world.

I decided to steal their own skill and use it against them.

[You have stolen the skill [Insomniac Croak]]

[The skill will be lost after 5 minutes]

I opened my mouth wide and croaked as loud as I could, hitting one of them in the face and actually managing to kill him.

[You have killed 1 deep trench bukavac]

[You have received 15,700 experience points]

‘Oh? From just one of them? Then again, their levels are kind of high.’

‘Killing them all should be enough for at least 8 level ups.’

‘Eating them all should make it at least 10.’

‘And tons of skills.’
