Dungeon Exploration with Absolute Accuracy ~ Level Up by Shooting Arrows from a Safe Zone ~ - Chapter 80

Demon

“Damn! What’s going on!”

I’ve been relying on my [Enemy Search] skill to keep an eye out in this black haze, but nothing special happened.

The haze was completely black, and I could not see anything ahead.

But the haze was gradually thinning and disappearing.

No, to be precise, there was still some residue of black particles and haze floating around my feet, and it was being sucked into the ground little by little.

But the release of the black particles and the black haze had already stopped.

Now it will disappear completely after some time.

“What in the …… did this summon ……?”

It was a black particle, and haze came out of that disastrous magic circle.

Even with the [Enemy Search] skill or applied presence detection, there was no response, and the presence was not increasing.

If a monster of this length is summoned, there must be some effect on it.

And yet, I couldn’t hear a single sound.

As I was thinking about this, the black haze around my feet finally disappeared, and my vision completely opened up.

“Phew…… finally I have a clear view………………!”

And I’m surprised to see the scene in front of me.

Because.

“──”

It was because Rina, who had been tied up with chains until just now and should have fainted, standing there.

If she was just standing there. I wouldn’t be at a loss for words. No, I was a little surprised.

The problem isn’t there.

The problem is what Rina is wearing right now.

Until now, Rina’s clothes were supposed to be a white dress that didn’t expose much, but now she’s showing a lot of black. Or rather, it was because she was wearing clothes that could be called a swimsuit.

The dress has crossed shoulder straps, a wide opening at the breast, and a skirt-like cloth around the waist.

Moreover, the skirt was short, reaching no more than halfway down her thighs.

Because of her outfit, Rina’s cute navel is visible, and her legs are also quite racy.

Honestly, it’s a sight for sore eyes.

But considering the current situation, it’s nothing but an abnormal situation.

When I look at the followers of Labyrinthiansim who were surrounding Rina, have fallen unconscious.

“Rina……!”

As expected, I became worried and called out to her. She slowly turns her face to me.

Then, a light came into her eyes, which had been empty and unfocused until now.

But.

“…… You …… who are you?”

Rina couldn’t hide the madness behind her eyes.

Instead of the usual Rina, I feel as if she is a different person.

“Rina? Ah, you mean my name? My name is Rina. What’s wrong with that?”

To my question, Rina answers as if it’s nothing.

However, it’s not Rina.

“…Don’t play around with me. Give Rina back.”

“Give Rina back?”

When I said so, she pretended to think. But then immediately put on an expression of understanding.

“I see. So that’s what you mean. In other words, you want me to return the original personality of this body?”

“The original personality ……? What does that mean?”

The way she says it, it doesn’t sound like she’s imitating Rina’s appearance or using her skills to pretend to be Rina.

“I mean it as it is. I’m just borrowing a body right now. In the body of a human named Rina.”

“Borrowing a body.”

I know what you mean, but I don’t understand it.

That’s right.

There is no way I would understand even if she told me she was borrowing Rina’s body.

But if she’s taking over Rina’s body, it makes a lot of sense, and it fits the cliche.

First of all, there is a reason why the summoned monster cannot even be felt or seen.

And why Rina suddenly changed her appearance.

I would say she answered these two questions.

Then, a person in the shape of Rina asks me a question.

I couldn’t sense the summoned monster’s appearance and presence. Because it was borrowing Rina’s body, just as the one who was pretending to be Rina said.

I’d never heard of such a monster, but then again, I’d never heard of this Devil Bat Dungeon, to begin with, so now it’s too late.

This is probably the reason why Rina has changed to leopard-like.

But then there’s something I don’t understand.

“Are you a monster? I’ve never seen or heard of a monster that can speak.”

Yes, I’m not sure if the guy in front of me, in the shape of Rina, is a monster.

I’ve never heard or seen a monster speak a language.

If someone told me there were such monsters, that would be the end of the story, but since she was right in front of me, I would have to believe him.

Besides, there’s something about being called a monster that I’m a little unconvinced about.

“Hmm…I see. It’s no wonder you humans don’t know. Then I’ll tell you what I really am.”

At that moment, fake Rina mutters something.

Then, something like a black mist enveloped Rina’s entire body, and when it cleared, the Rina of a moment ago was gone.

Standing in her place was.

“I am the devil. I am a being that likes to feed on people’s despair, fear, hatred, anger, and other negative emotions.”

Rina, who had grown large bat-like wings on her back, was there.
