Chapter 29

The Asiaspar Dungeon is a cave surrounded by flat, gray rocks.

Upon entering, the first monster we encountered was a goblin. It was a creature that looked like a cross between a brown-skinned monkey and a human. Upon noticing us, it leaned forward and swung the club in its hand, charging at us.

"Hah!"

The preemptive attack was Sylvia's [Magic Archery], a combination of [Infantry Archery] and [Fire Attribute - First Form].

The goblin let out an ugly scream, "Bgyah," and fell with a single blow.

"Hmm..."

Yukari, who was behind me, muttered. She seemed to have understood that Magic Archery was a composite skill of magic and archery.

"This is easy."

Sylvia said. Of course, it is, since it's a C-rank dungeon.

"Yoh-yoh!"

Eko shouted "yoh-yoh" and jumped into the group of goblins.

"Master, is this alright?"

"Well, it's a valid question... but just watch."

There were over ten goblins in front of Eko. The sight of a small beast girl charging into them would make anyone anxious, but she is a professional 'Muscle Monk.' There's no need to worry.

Eko activated [Gold General Shield Technique] as she charged into the goblins. The goblins were flung away as if hit by a car, one after another.

The goblins were knocked back and fell. Sylvia's arrows then flew in one after another, finishing them off.

"..."

Eko is the frontliner, and Sylvia is the backliner. As long as Eko continues to draw the monsters' attention, Sylvia's arrows will keep piercing the defenseless monsters.

This is one of the ideal forms of dungeon clearing with two people. It's not only less prone to mistakes but also easier for the backliner to deal damage.

By the time we finished talking, nearly twenty goblins had been eliminated.

At this rate, if I join in, it won't be good for the two of them to practice their teamwork. I'll focus on being on guard for surprise attacks and protecting Yukari.

"The experience points aren't great, so let's hurry."

Sylvia and Eko nodded at my command and moved forward. Yukari silently followed me. It will take some time for her to open up to us.

"Already the boss?"

"Pretty fast. It hasn't even been two hours."

"That's what C-rank is like."

The boss of Asiaspar is a Goblin King, a huge monster about four meters long. However, it moves slowly and has low defense, making it a rather unimpressive boss. The annoying part is that there are about ten Goblin Mages, which use magic, surrounding it. We need to be cautious of both the boss and its minions.

But with our firepower, we can take down the King in two hits and the Mages in one, so it's not a problem.

"What's the plan!?"

Eko asked. For some reason, this guy loves "plans" and always asks for one before the boss.

"..."

...Nope. He's looking at me with those sparkling eyes of expectation.

"Ah... Eko, take the big one in the middle as your target and hold your ground with [Knight Shield Technique]. We'll finish it off in the meantime."

"Ooh! Got it!"

Eko, hearing my casual plan, opened his mouth wide and nodded with a smile. I feel a bit guilty for deceiving him, but he looks so happy, so it's fine.

"Sylvia, do as usual. Yukari, stay close to me."

"Understood."

"Understood."

I said that and led the way with Eko at the front, entering the square where the boss was.

"Whoa, it's huge!!"

Eko exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the Goblin King is big and fat, looking unhealthy. In contrast, the Goblin Mages are small and thin, like twigs, and are probably less than a meter tall.

"Let's go."

At my command, Eko charged at the Goblin King. At the same time, Sylvia took down one of the Goblin Mages. She muttered, "Boring," and took down another one.

"..."

Eko defended against the Goblin King's attack with [Knight Shield Technique] and said, "What the...?" The damage he took was only 3 points, less than the Armor Lizard in the Limpfat Dungeon.

"Nice job, Eko."

I praised him and then shot [Rook Archery] at the Goblin King, dealing 6680 damage, not a critical hit but decent.

"..."

Yukari's eyes widened. She was probably surprised by the amount of damage.

I shot two more arrows, a combination of [Knight Archery] and [Silver General Archery], and finished off the Goblin King. The Goblin Mages were already all taken down by Sylvia.

"Is it over?"

I approached Eko and looked around. There were no more monsters.

...

"..."

Something's wrong.

The team formation quest isn't completing.

From what I remember, the team should form the moment the boss and its minions in a C-rank dungeon are defeated...

"---!!"

Oh no!

By the time I realized, it was too late.

The four-meter-long corpse of the Goblin King was disappearing after a certain time. Hidden in its shadow was one Goblin Mage.

The Goblin Mage was on the brink of death, desperately casting a spell.

And the timing of its activation coincided with the disappearance of the Goblin King's corpse.

Oh no, this is bad!!

"Damn!"

The Goblin Mage's target was Yukari.

I grabbed Yukari's hand and pulled her towards me while shooting [Fire Attribute - First Form] at the Goblin Mage.

The next moment.

The Goblin Mage was killed...

...

...The place where I was standing changed to a "beach with a view of the sea."

[Blowaway Dungeon]

Why Asiaspar is called that.

It's because of the [Random Teleport] magic used by the Goblin Mages, the minions of the boss, when they are on the brink of death.

[Random Teleport] is a magic that "teleports the target to a random location 4km away."

In other words, it means "being forcibly ejected from the dungeon."

So it shouldn't be called a "Blowaway Dungeon." Actually, it got this name because of a certain "discovery."

One day, a report was posted on the Mevion wiki.

The title was "Blown away 255km on foot."

The content was shocking. [Random Teleport] was supposed to only move the target 4km, but the reporter was actually moved 255km.

Immediately, a group of volunteers started to verify this.

The result was surprising.

It turned out that "if a Goblin Mage, who is on the brink of death, uses [Random Teleport] at the moment the Goblin King's corpse disappears, the distance of the teleportation increases from 4km to 255km." This was a very mysterious phenomenon that had not been discovered before due to the very specific conditions required.

Players were in an uproar, calling it a bug.

...However, in reality, it was not a bug but a feature.

The distance of teleportation-type magic is determined by the amount of MP lost at the location. Therefore, the system is designed to consume more MP for longer distances.

In this case, "the moment the Goblin King's corpse disappears is when all of the Goblin King's MP is lost from the location." In other words, the full MP of the Goblin King is added to the distance of the Goblin Mage's [Random Teleport], resulting in a 255km long-distance teleportation.

Thus, due to this "blowaway incident," the Asiaspar Dungeon became known as the "Blowaway Dungeon."

I had completely forgotten about this incident.

C-rank dungeons weren't very relevant to high-level players.

"..."

By the time I remembered, it was too late.

In front of me was a vast sea, a blue sky, and white clouds. My feet were on the sand, and next to me was

"Wh...!?"

Yukari, with a look of shock.

Of course, anyone would be surprised to suddenly find themselves on a beach. Thinking about it, Yukari has some very human-like qualities.

"Don't worry. We were just teleported by that goblin."

"Teleported...?"

Amazing. She's already calmed down.

"Yeah. Probably 255km away from the Asiaspar we were just in."

"..."

Yukari looked at me with a suspicious eye.

It's true, so what can I do...

"Huh? Oh! The team has been formed."

I suddenly realized this. It seems that the Goblin Mage was the last "missed" one.

"Um..."

I opened the team-only communication from the bottom right of the status window and cautiously spoke to Sylvia.

"Hey, hey... can you hear me?"

"Y-You idiot!! Where did you go!? Are you okay!?"

Oh my god! My ears are ringing!

"I'm fine. I was teleported far away by a magic spell. I'll be back, so Sylvia and Eko, wait for us in Peho Town."

"O-Okay! I'm relieved. How long will it take? Come back quickly."

"Um... probably six or seven days. Take it as a vacation. Relax."

"......Huh?"

"See you."

I cut off the communication and looked at Yukari.

"Is it really that far?"

"Of course. There's no point in lying."

"..."

Yukari reluctantly nodded.

Thinking about it, we'll be alone for a week.

I want to use this opportunity to get closer to her... I thought as I started walking north along the beach.

Thank you for reading.
