Volume 1: Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma and Orario Chapter 029 The First Battle
Emiya was a little surprised by this. In fact, there was not only this lady at the service window. There were many ladies with similar professions, but Emiya really didn't expect that he would meet her.
Maybe it’s because Emiya is not the male protagonist and he doesn’t have a cute face.
So Aina did not look at Emiya differently. Instead, she registered Emiya in a businesslike manner , and then gave Emiya a few instructions with a formal smile on her face.
Then, see the guests off.
Emiya nodded, and he and Tiona left the Adventurer's Guild and set out on the road to the dungeon.
Starting from the first layer directly connected to the surface, it has a common standard maze structure, and as you go deeper into the dungeon, the environment will become more and more complex.
From forests to lakes, from fields to wilderness, the deep dungeons have various forms, and the floors present a small world that is hard to imagine being underground.
The further down you go, the more obvious the changes in the natural environment become.
Of course, the above has nothing to do with Emiya.
Because this was his first time entering a dungeon, it was impossible for Diona to take Emiya deep into the dungeon. At best they could just wander around the first ten floors.
The first ten floors are standard maze structures.
The walls and the ground are paved with stone bricks, forming a maze of corridors. Most of the monsters that appear here are earth spirits and goblins.
Emiya was no stranger to monsters like goblins, after all, they had appeared in many fantasy worlds.
Moreover, in the world of Goblin Slayer, the harm caused by goblins is more powerful than ever before.
But monsters like earth spirits are a bit unusual.
The earth spirits in the world of Dicuo look similar to wolfhounds, but they can walk upright and have a fast attack speed. More importantly, these monsters appear in groups.
Of course, not only earth spirits, but even goblins appeared in groups.
Therefore, few people usually enter the dungeon alone. After all, the dungeon is full of dangers. If an adventurer at level 1 encounters groups of monsters, it will be difficult for him to survive.
The reason why the male protagonist Bell dared to enter the dungeon alone and survived was mainly because Zeus, who raised him, laid the foundation for Bell when he was very young.
Not to mention anything else, the speed of escape alone is definitely first-class.
Otherwise, his future nickname would never be the fastest rabbit in the world!
…
When Emiya entered the dungeon under the guidance of Diona, what caught his eyes were the walls and ceiling dyed in light blue.
The natural maze that cannot see the sky stretches endlessly in all directions, with forks, intersections, and gentle downhill roads. In this underground space, neat roads are formed at regular intervals.
And in this kind of space, Emiya soon faced his first battle.
The opponent in the first battle was the Earth Spirit.
Eight earth spirits appeared at a crossroads. When they saw Emiya and Tiona, they immediately ran towards them, making humming sounds and flashing cruel and ruthless light in their eyes.
Diona immediately took a few steps back, waving her arms and saying, "Come on, Rookie-kun, don't lose to these trash."
To be honest, Emiya was a little nervous.
He is not a bad boy. From childhood to adulthood, Emiya has only had a few fights. The number of fights can be counted on one hand, so Emiya is not good at this situation.
When he was a kid, Emiya would get nervous every time he got into a fight.
Although I am not as nervous as I used to be when I grew up, I don’t fight anymore.
This time after entering the dungeon, Emiya was no longer fighting, but fighting monsters, so Emiya became nervous for the first time in a long time.
But fortunately, he has Diona by his side, and he can travel through the world and avoid danger, so although Emiya is nervous, he is not panicked.
However, to be on the safe side, Emiya released four telekinetic hands before the earth spirit rushed over.
Then, when the earth spirit was still twenty meters away from him, Shigong controlled his telekinetic hand to fly over and knocked away all the earth spirits approaching him with one punch each.
Bang, bang, bang…
Shirou's first round of attack knocked four earth spirits flying. The remaining earth spirits were stunned when they saw their companions suddenly flying backwards, and they actually hesitated.
Emiya couldn't help but feel delighted. He seized this opportunity and controlled the four telekinetic hands to wave back and forth.
Bang, bang, bang…
The remaining earth spirits were blasted away one by one by Emiya's telekinetic hand.
However, because this wave of attacks was relatively conservative, Emiya did not use too much strength, so the earth spirit was only knocked away and did not die.
This group of earth spirits quickly got up, stared at Emiya, and made some grunting sounds, but did not launch an attack immediately. It seemed as if they were stunned by Emiya's attack and did not dare to move forward for a while.
Although these monsters have little intelligence, they also know how to be afraid.
The main reason is that Emiya's attacks are invisible, so the monsters will hesitate.
However, Shirou did not miss this opportunity. He took a deep breath, turned his mental power into bullets, and then shot them out.
Telekinetic bullet!
This is a little trick that Emiya developed shortly after he gained telekinesis. It's quite powerful, and considering that Emiya was attacking the eyes of the earth spirit, it actually achieved quite good results.
One by one, the telekinetic bullets penetrated the earth spirit's eyes, pierced through its brain, and then flew out from the back of its head, bringing out a pool of blood.
The earth spirit fell to the ground and died.
Seeing this scene, Emiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tiona came over, raised her hand and patted Emiya on the back, "Well done, Rookie-kun."
Generally speaking, newcomers who have just entered the dungeon will easily become flustered when encountering such a situation. She saw Emiya looking nervous just now and thought that Emiya could not exert his strength, so she planned to help him when Emiya was in danger.
Unexpectedly, Shirou killed more than a dozen earth spirits by himself.
Ordinary newcomers can't achieve this level. The skill of telekinesis is really tricky.
Tiona pulled out a knife and handed it to Emiya, "Go and get the magic stone. It's in the middle of the earth spirit's chest."
Emiya shook his head and said, "No need."
Then, he controlled his telekinetic hand, cut open the earth spirit's chest, and took out a small piece of blue-purple light from the middle.
This thing is the magic stone, which is the magic crystal obtained from monsters. The crystal contains incredible power and can be exchanged for money as long as it is taken to the guild.
The humans in the Dicuo world use magic stones as energy and have invented a variety of products. In addition to magic stone lamps that can be used for lighting, there are also ignition devices, freezers for storing food, etc. Therefore, it is regarded as a precious resource.
Strictly speaking, the magic stone in Emiya's hand should be a magic stone fragment.
After all, this is only the first level of the dungeon, and the earth spirits are the weakest monsters, so of course they cannot provide a complete set of magic stones.
