Incompetent Explorer Chapter 330

Episode 330: Restoration(Third Party Perspective)

It is unsure as to whether you could call it a single creature in an empty room, but a Black Mist in the shape of a human is facing off against something that looks like a computer monitor.

The monitor is buried at the base of an object shaped like a large tree with tentacles gathered together, and under the monitor there is a part equivalent to a keyboard.

"Ohhh!! Finally."

Looking at the letters that appear on the monitor, it is clear that the mouth on the flat face is naturally lifted, and a smile is on the surface.

As it should be.

[ The system has normalized. Moving to normal operation. ]

A few months ago, due to his own mistake - but that wasn't the only reason - the Dungeon System overheated due to overloading it, and all but the bare minimum functions went down.

It has now normalized, and is working as usual.

While down, neither the moderate Stampedes nor the Dungeon Rebirths that were originally performed occurred, and the mana concentration of the Earth could hardly be increased, and the forces of the Demon World could not be sent.

If they can finally resume the invasion of Earth, that joy will all the more be proper.

And during the dormant period, the pressure from his Master was increasing. Considering he will be freed from that, you can understand the joy of the Black Mist.

"Well then, immediately confirm the current status."

-Kata kata kata kata kata!

The Black Mist operates something like a keyboard to check the current status and settings of the Earth's dungeons.

"This ... has been completely initialized ... Haa ... it looks like it will take some time to restore it to its original state."

When the Black Mist checks the status of the dungeons, the settings have been initialized.

The parts that had been adjusted while invading were all in a pristine state, so he doesn't know how many days it will take, but he needs to restore them as soon as possible.

If he doesn't, what's waiting for him this time is DEATH.

As for the Black Mist, he doesn't want to die, so he has no choice but to redo the settings desperately.

"If it reaches the current concentration of magic power, it will reach the lowest level of this Demon World sooner or later without rushing too much, so Stampedes and Dungeon Rebirths shouldn't be too much of a problem. Also, it would be a problem if overheating occurred. I don't think it will, but it's also possible that something went wrong because it overheated once. Let's be careful and keep it a little conservative."

After confirming the state of the Earth, he rewrites the settings of the dungeons on Earth in the most efficient way in a way that does not burden the system as much as possible. The speed is so fast that a human could never do it, and the special language on the screen is added so quickly that it seems to flow.

As the work progresses, purple phosphorescence gradually overflows from the crevices of the tentacle-like object, signaling that full-scale operation has begun.

"It looks like there will be no problem with restarting. In that case, let's keep working."

Upon noticing the light, the Black Mist feels relieved and smiles lightly before returning to work.

-Kata kata kata kata kata katatan!

"Finally, all the settings are complete. I'm really tired."

After that, after seven days and seven nights of sleepless work, the Black Mist finishes setting up the Dungeon System related to Earth.

Unlike humans, no matter how many days the Black Mist, a demon, physically works, no matter what he does, he doesn't have the concept of being tired, however, because he has a personality, mental fatigue exists.

As expected, even the Black Mist, who is a superlative existence, is exhausted from working all week long.

"There seems to be no problem with the operational status, and if we have made it this far, just like the previous report, we should be able to start working over there within a few months.

The Black Mist looks up at the tentacle tree, which is emitting a faint phosphorescence, confirming that it is operating quietly, and is relieved that it is now operating normally, and decides to rest.

"Did it go well?"

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly calls out from behind.

"This is, this is, I didn't expect you to be here ..."

"Such preamble is unnecessary. In reality, how is it?"

The owner of the voice is the Master of the Black Mist.

Since he was waiting impatiently for the Dungeon System to return, he was impatient due to the fact that he hadn't come to report for a long time, so he went there himself.

The Black Mist was so startled that his heart was about to burst, but he quickly straightens his posture and tries to bow his head, but he is stopped by his Master and forced to report.

"Y, yes. I just finished the work, but just to be sure, I'm being cautious with the settings in consideration of the possibility of overheating again and other problems. But, don't worry. As previously reported, the magic power concentration is expected to reach the specified value within a few months. I will let you know when it gets closer."

"Ohhh!! Ohhh!! Has it finally recovered!! A few months is nothing compared to the hundreds of years that have passed!! Besides, if our earnest wish and revenge on Satotsu, who interfered with all of our plans, will come true, it would be trivial to wait that long. I will prepare properly."

After receiving the report from the Black Mist, his Master is overjoyed releases an overabundance of magical power.

"Ha!!!"

"Umu, it seems that this time is the time to give up on your life, you know? Satotsu?"

He gives instructions to proceed with the preparations to invade Earth, and when the Master hears the reply, he mutters to his hated enemy in another world.
