This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 76. Two... and one hero

"Two...two brave warriors!"

Exclamations of surprise came from all around.

It's amazing that I can understand a language I don't know well without any problems when I hear it.

Tanaka glanced around the room without making a sound.

A spacious basement illuminated by oil lamps.

Several faintly glowing circles were drawn on the ground, inside and out, with an unknown paint.

A group of men, wrapped in long robes, knelt on the ground, chanting in unison.

I am not some outdated relic out of touch with society.

I'm familiar with the concept of traveling to another world.

But is it reasonable to summon someone out of the toilet along with the toilet seat while they are using it, without any toilet paper?

Or perhaps I should thank them for summoning the toilet along with it, otherwise I'd be stuck in a horse stance right now...

There was also a tall, blonde woman next to him.

Seeing that she was wearing shorts and stockings, she must have been summoned just like me.

But what does this blood-stained dagger in his hand mean?
No... now is not the time to think about others. What I should be thinking about now is how to naturally pull up my pants.

Since they've already time-traveled, shouldn't they be given some kind of superpower?

For example, invisibility...

As he was thinking this, a panel belonging to him appeared in his field of vision.

Name: Tanaka Hideshichi

[Race: Human]

[Level: LV1]

[Health Volume: 90/90]

【Strength: 4】

[Agility: 3]

[Physique: 4]

【Intelligence: 7】

【Spirit: 4】

[Racial Trait: Increases experience gain by 20%]

[Skills: Poison Resistance LV3, Mental Resistance LV4]

[Title: Hero (Not restricted by race or level; randomly selects a special title or skill that can be used)]

A hero, huh...?

Tanaka's focus was on that "usable".

[Hero title effect already used]

[Acquired skill: ...]

Three minutes after being transported to another world, Tanaka's eyes finally regained a glimmer of life as he looked at his newly acquired skills.

……

The priest slammed his forehead against the stone slab, his silver-trimmed hood slipping askew, his voice choked with emotion: "Ixion. Ixion, protect me!"

It is a rare occurrence, perhaps only happening once in a thousand years, that two heroes would emerge in the same era!
This is proof that the Lord of Light deeply loves humanity, and that he was fortunate enough to be a part of it!
Although the surrounding priests did not know as much as the priest, they understood that the more heroes there were, the greater humanity's hope of victory would be.

They either prayed fervently in hushed tones or whispered among themselves, sharing their excited feelings.

For a moment, the two heroes were left standing there.

The blonde woman's expression shifted several times before she finally stepped forward and opened her mouth...

"Everyone, could you all look at me?"

Someone spoke first; it was that exhibitionist next to him who still hadn't pulled up his pants.

Tanaka spoke the common language of humans in this other world as if it were something he was born knowing.

He raised one finger, looked around, and saw that everyone's attention was drawn to his words.

very good!

chap——

A flash of light left everyone stunned.

Seeing this, Tanaka calmly pulled up his pants and closed the toilet seat.

I passed the kneeling priest and left the basement.

They also took a stack of toilet paper of some unknown material.

Not long after he left, everyone suddenly recovered.

The priest, seeing the figure successfully summoned within the array, was moved to tears.

"It's...it's a success! The hero has been summoned! Your Excellency, I have not let you down..."

Then she whispered praises to the Lord of Light, who had sent forth heroes representing hope in humanity's time of crisis. Meanwhile, the blonde woman within the summoning circle frowned, observing her surroundings.

When her gaze swept over the white porcelain toilet beside her, she couldn't help but take another curious look.
-
The fifth floor of the Amethyst Underground City.

Oh oh oh oh oh!
This power!

Large amounts of magic surged from the knight's body, so much that the knight could not contain it all, and it dissipated from all parts of his body.

If you look at the knight from the perspective of magical perception now, it's like a Saiyan going into a power-up!
No, no!

It feels like it's about to explode!
Quickly stick the knight onto the fungal carpet, allowing the excess magic to disperse through the fungal network.

The knights then "cooled down".

Lin Jun is now experiencing a mix of excitement and lingering fear.

I was a bit careless. I didn't expect the results to be so good. I shouldn't stay in the same space as the main body in the next experiment.

It's too shameful for the overlord of the fifth level of the dungeon to die from an experimental self-destruction.

The magic power surging from the knight now originates entirely from the result of the light emitted by the [Sunstone (Fragment)] being converted into magic power through [Photosynthesis].

Lin Jun even felt that the amount of magic was probably more than directly sunbathing on the ground.

After all, none of the plants on the ground can produce so much magic.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine artifact!
Even if it is still incomplete.

This sunstone has been gathering dust in my hands for so long, and I've finally found its place.

However, a new problem has arisen that is troubling Lin Jun.

Photosynthesis is a passive skill.

The magical power provided by the sunstone seems to be a bit too abundant.

The knight can either do what he's doing now, connecting to the fungal network to transfer excess magic power out.

Either you have to constantly use various skills to consume magic power, or you'll just have to wait to explode like an overloaded magic crystal.

This power is probably even stronger than the [Self-Destruct] skill!
Other people's mechs all run out of power very quickly after they go out.

The knight, however, will soon face the risk of being burst apart by his own magical power after going out...

It gives off a feeling that the equipment is too good, and you don't deserve it.

Fortunately, Lin Jun doesn't currently have any situations where the Cavaliers need to go all out.

It's fine to just be a magic generator for now.

……

On the other side, the ground.

"Boss, is this situation correct?"

Before the scouts, Dylan, having deactivated his [Mimicry] ability, revealed his green skin, a mixture of mycelium and flesh.

Although I've known for a long time that I'm not really human anymore.

But the white mycelium looks barely acceptable.

Now, after the boss cast this "Photosynthesis" on himself, he looks more like a giant goblin.

Dylan couldn't accept it for a moment.

The scout approached and patted the distraught Dylan with his tentacle.

"Dylan, this is the price of power!"

How can you overcome difficulties and reach the top if you're so preoccupied with gains and losses?

"Boss... I never intended to stand up..."

"madness!"

Lin Jun interrupted Dylan directly.

"How can you protect your daughter if you don't become stronger?"
It's just a matter of turning green!

If it were for your daughter, even if it meant giving you three extra arms and four extra legs, would you object?

Dylan lay on the ground.

Yes!

It's all for my daughter!

It's just a slight color change; after the mimicry, they're all the same anyway.

"Boss, I've thought it through. You're right! It's all for our daughter's sake!"

Seeing that Experiment No. 1 had finally been persuaded, Lin Jun controlled the scout and nodded the mushroom cap with satisfaction.

……

……

……

"Boss... well... adding arms and legs was just a metaphor, right?"
