Exiled Prince Without Skills: Infinite Growth in a Mysterious Dungeon

 Chapter 39 - The Trials of the Beginnings - The 11th Trial - Earning DP

I left a message for Fayne and went into the dungeon. The message was something like, “I’ve got a few things to do, so I’m going out for a day or so”. Fayne responded with a yawn. He didn’t show any signs of worrying about me, so I was relieved.

If I told Sirius, he might get the wrong idea and find out that I was sneaking around dungeon diving. That was why I chose the people I had in mind. And that was Fayne. I think that guy was just as stupid as me.

I went to the Trials of the Beginning, which I was already familiar with.

I already knew the general idea of the enemies, the types of traps, and the items that dropped. I proceeded through the dungeon, slaughtering goblins who had no skills whatsoever. I picked up weapons and armor and selected useful scrolls and potions. It was a task I’m used to.

If I keep going through the first level, I’ll find a stone-throwing orc.

“Eat this!”

A bronze shortsword pierced him from behind. It pierced the exact spot where his heart was, and the stone-throwing orc died pathetically.

After that, I continued my search and made sure that I had picked up all the items before proceeding down to the second level.

If there were enemies, I would carefully kill them, and when I was done, I would run as fast as I could through the entire level. Then, traps would be triggered one after another, arrows would fly behind me, explosions would occur, rocks would fall, and corrosive acid would splatter.

“…… I guess I can only use this technique in this dungeon.”

This trick was only possible in dungeons with weak enemies. Before the effect of the traps was activated, I ran with all my might to avoid the traps. If I did this in a normal dungeon, the enemies would notice me and I’d be in trouble, so for now, this method was exclusive to the Trials of the Beginning.

I killed all the enemies on the second level and activated all the traps. There was no chance of accidental death now. I also picked up the “Confusion Potion” I was looking for while collecting the items.

I found a [Fusion Worm] along the way, so I dragged it around in a half-dead state. I also carried an Evil Eye with its eyeballs ripped out and its skills blocked so that it wouldn’t die.

This giant worm-like demon – the Fusion Worm – would use its mischievous mouth to swallow weapons and armor and fuse them together inside its body. It was a necessary element in strengthening weapons and armor, as its fuses the strengthening values and other elements together.

“I don’t even know if it has any of these properties.”

I found out about the Fusion Worm when I was looking it up on the stone monument. The reason for this was because the stone monument had a new feature called “Monsters Information List”, and its characteristics were written there.

Unfortunately, it only had information on monsters that I had seen before, so it wasn’t that informative. I knew that, though.

I sat down and waited for the monster to revive.

The monster I was looking for was a Goblin Thief. In the dungeon, the monsters would revive as time passed, so as long as I had time and bread, I could wait indefinitely.

I waited for about five hours while hunting the revived monster, and then the thief goblin I was aiming for came out. He was proudly carrying a large sack.

“Finally.”

I shoved a bottle of confusion potion into his mouth. The startled and panicked goblin flailed, but the overwhelming difference in arm strength kept him in check.

“Don’t be afraid. Now drink.”

“Gugyiiiiiii!!”

The goblin swallowed the potion in a painful manner and became confused, so I threw him a dying Evil Eye.

“Guga!? Guoaua!?”

The Goblin smashed the Evil Eye to death with a look of incomprehension and then began to eat it. I couldn’t get used to the disgusting feeling no matter how many times I saw it, but I waited patiently.

The goblin vomited several times and distorted his face in pain. The goblin screamed, and then his abdomen opened vertically. A hand reached out from the bloody cavity and scratched the air as if seeking something. Immediately, a slimy, mucus-covered goblin crawled out. His body was twice his size, and he was pulling out a large sack that made me wonder where he had been storing it.

“You’ve evolved! You Goblin Thief!”

I ran up to him and kicked him with all my might. The goblin stepped on the trap, fell back, and was caught in the trap.

“Gugyaaaaaaaa!!”

Purple lightning gushed from the trap. The electric shock trap identified the goblin as the prey and burned its flesh with the power of its lightning.

Before the goblin could escape from the trap, I took the Scroll of Gravity from the item box and used it.

The dust that had been flying around the room was sucked into the ground. No, it looked like that, but in fact, the dust fell to the ground due to the sudden gravity. As a matter of course, the goblin and I fell under the influence.

“—-! Gugyaaaa!!”

The Goblin could not escape the trap and was burned by the purple light. The room was filled with screams and the smell of burning flesh, but it was difficult for me to move because I myself was under the influence of gravity, so I stayed with the goblin for a while.

After a while, the Goblin died and the scroll was no longer working.

I rushed over to the large sack he dropped, and just as I had hoped, it was filled with high quality items. A sword made of adamantite, heavy armor made of mithril, and many other items.

An evolved goblin. The items in the Goblin Thief Leader’s possession were of high quality. There were several weapons in the box, and some of them even had an enhancement value of +7.

“Fu, fuhaha – oops.”

My heart was filled with an uplifting feeling, and I almost laughed out loud. I could not help but feel happy when I picked up the rare items. It was difficult to keep my voice down when it couldn’t fit in my hands.

I shoved my weapons and armors into the Fusion Worm. I made sure they were mixed in its stomach, and then I put my hand in its mouth and pulled it out. Then the fused items came out along with the mucus.

“This is…… really amazing …….”

Coincidentally, there was a Confusion Potion in the large bag. This was God’s way of telling me to do the same thing again. The God of the dungeon is telling me. If he was in charge of such a nasty dungeon, he was probably an evil god.

“Wait for me, Goblin Thief……. fufufu……”

I roamed the dungeon in search of a new sacrificial (Goblin Thief).

As a general rule, I found out that if I went through the dungeon with good equipment and items, I would get more DP. If this was the case, I should be able to earn a lot of DP if I went through the dungeon with equipment that I had earned to the maximum extent.

Earn, earn and earn DP.

For territorial development.
