Chapter 231.2. Long-Awaited Mining Dungeon

Its height is about 5 meters, with a torso that looks like stacked blocks and appears to be made of iron, so it looks tough. Taking a punch from it would be no laughing matter.

There are three of them. They charge fiercely as if their entire body is a weapon.

“Iron Golems resist slashing attacks, so be careful when fighting them!”

“Time for lightning magic, Sei-chan!”

-Iron Golem: Level 29, Resistance: Physical, Weakness: Thunder-

“Mew~”

-However, Sei-chan is fast asleep!-

Sei-chan, who excels in thunder magic, is currently using her even greater skill in napping. She’s a girl who can demonstrate the skill of [Sleeping] even in reality.

With no other choice, everyone else starts the battle as usual. Iron Golem swings its arms, which resemble iron pillars, and attacks fiercely.

However, Yamiyo wears a confident smile as she elegantly evades the powerful blow and counters with her strike.

With a clanging metallic sound, Iron Golem sustains some damage on its iron exterior, but it pays no mind and continues its attack.

As it digs into the ground, creating holes and raising dust, Yamiyo effortlessly avoids the attack, and Golem merely spins around in futility like a fan.

“Take this!”

“Here I go!”

“Hyah!”

Tamamo strikes it with her fan, Hoku-chan unleashes sword attacks, and Nan-chan thrusts her earthen spear, gradually inflicting damage.

“Ta-ta!”

Of course, Mii-chan joins in as well. She lifts her mace and strikes the Iron Golem when it comes into range.

-Mine-

-Mine-

-Mine-

It’s been a while since I use -Mine-. I attack with my mace, using -Mine-.

If I remember correctly, it should take 5 hits to break an Iron Golem. I’ll show off my -Mine- skills from my previous life, honed in the unexplored region of Gunma.

After 5 successful attacks, Iron Golem becomes riddled with cracks and crumbles into a pile of iron scrap.

“I can’t believe we crushed Iron Golem so easily, even though it was so tough!”

“Because I’m mining Golem.”

The bells behind us chime in surprise, but since it’s a Golem. That’s to be expected. The Golem always breaks after a predetermined number of -Mine- attacks. It’s just how it works.

-Magic stone D, Pebbles: Obtained!-

“…Leave the other Golems to me! Everyone, focus on diversion!”

“Got it!”

This is Mii-chan’s time to shine. There is no doubt about it. So, they entrust it to her.

Iron Golems rarely drop adamantite.

Iron Golem perceives Mii-chan as an enemy and swings its fist down on her. Since Mii-chan is in -Mine- mode and not battle mode, she has defense but lacks agility.

With a clanging sound, an iron mass falls on her, creating a booming noise, and the ground dents with cracks.

Iron Golem’s attack manages to hit Mii-chan’s soft skin.

“Mii-sama!”

Everyone gasps, and Yamiyo lets out a cry of anguish.

“It’s okay! I activated Wartan, focusing on defense, so even though I took a hit, the damage is minimal. Don’t worry!”

Amidst the dust, Mii-chan crawls out of the hole in her humanoid form, smiling cheerfully.

-Takano Miu took 0 damage.-

Since she didn’t sustain much damage, they keep attacking without concern. They all struggle, so it’s up to Mii-chan to defeat Golems.

There are no other intentions.

None at all.

“Uoooh!”

Kakin, kakin.

-Magic stone D, Pebbles: Obtained!-

“Take this!”

Kakin, kakin.

-Magic stone D, Pebbles, Pebbles: Obtained!-

“Take that!”

Kakin, kakin.

-Magic stone D: Obtained!-

Finally, even pebbles stopped dropping! It won’t even drop the magic iron that should drop normally!

“Mukyaa! Where’s the other Iron Golems?!”

Mii-chan is rushing forward while swinging her mace.

The drops no longer matter. It’s all about my gamer’s pride. At least drop some magic iron!

Running through the tunnel, I destroy every Golem she comes across.

Iron Golem, Stone Golem, Stone Golem, Iron Golem, Steel Golem, and some weird Golem.

For some reason, only pebbles drop. Admin, where are you? You secretly lowered the drop rate, didn’t you!?

“Wait, Mii-sama. You’ve been defeating them all. Everyone is in trouble.”

For some reason, Yamiyo restrains her and stops her.

Huh?

“Huh? Where is this place?”

When she noticed, she was in a vast underground cave. Piles of Golem remains were all around her.

“Mii-sama got absorbed in defeating the Golems one by one. You advanced quite far, defeating them all, so our classmates are having a hard time.”

For some reason, first-year students are also around. Weren’t they here to defeat Golems? Huh? Did Mii-chan monopolize Golems?

“Em-chan shouted and attracted all the Golems. So we couldn’t defeat them, and we followed along!”

“It seems like you defeated a Golem that looked like a magical weapon.”

Tamamo points to the first-year students with troubled expressions, and Hoku-chan points to a mechanical-looking Golem, which bursts into sparks and falls apart into scraps.

“I got so absorbed that I didn’t notice.”

When I’m mining, time seems to slip away. I’ve spent several hours immersed in online games before.

“It seemed to contain a dangerous amount of mana, so it looked like a magical weapon…”

“It was an accident, surely an accident.”

A magical weapon? It certainly looks like a mech, but was it the boss here? Could I have defeated it? I hope it wasn’t an event destroyer. The dungeon hasn’t disappeared, so it can’t be a boss, right?

“You can rest assured. Your reckless behavior was anticipated.”

A clanking, eerie voice echoes in the hall.

“Who might you be?”

Yami quickly readies her sword, everyone else follows suit, and Mii-chan checks for drops.

[Mana Drain Field]

The entire hall glows as magic circles appear on the floor, illuminating everyone with its light.
