Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 105. An uninvited guest

I had expected it to some extent.

That’s because it makes a comparison.

Rather than raiding the Nightmare Dungeon with old comrades who have been working together for a long time, it is much more comfortable now with two beginners.

Wouldn’t it be possible to cut the time it takes to defeat the final boss by half if you grab each and attack?

‘And it’s even stable.’

Judging by how things are going, I don’t think there will be any big problems if you deal with the final boss right away.

Even without a main healer.

Given this situation, if you are not an idiot, you will of course want to join.

Plus, the buff dish is free.

“I’m sorry, but we’ll talk about that later. We’re leaving late, so we can’t afford to be like this if we want to go back before sunset.”

It’s not like we’re sleeping here, so we have to hurry if we want to go back today.

Especially to attack the hidden room.

Rachel and Michael nodded in agreement.

“Huh? You think there won’t be enough time to catch it like this? You say you won’t catch the mid-boss?”

The question rather jumped out of Lemon’s mouth.

With a puzzled expression.

Even if you don’t, I tried to explain.

Now it’s time to clear the first room.

“Oh. I’m not going to catch it. I’m going to kill all the mobs in the room instead.”

“All? Why?”

“Why? They do it to get experience points.”

Defeat the middle boss of Twisted Catacombs is surprisingly simple.

Among the monsters in the room, clear out some of the monsters near the entrance, then, when you see the mid-boss, pull it and bring it to the passage outside the entrance to deal with it.

Of course, this is a kind of expedient method, not a straight-forward method, but no one dares to take the difficult path over the easy path.

There is a saying that time is money.

‘If you do this, it’s a dungeon that any party can clear in three hours.’

But if that was the case, I wouldn’t have chosen this dungeon as the first nightmare dungeon for children.

‘The purpose is experience.’

There are so many monsters piled up in the four large rooms where the middle boss appears.

The reason, as already explained, is that the expedient method of luring only the mid-boss to hunt is well-known.

With self-regenerating monsters and monsters summoned by mid-bosses, the number of elite monsters in the room is so dense that it resembles a swarm of ants.

“Even if it’s the experience level, isn’t it necessary to catch the mediator in advance?

“That’s true, but not today. If you hunt for intercessors.”

“Why?”

I was worried about whether I should talk about the hidden room in advance.

Want to surprise me?

But I decided to just teach him.

Because it was the same last time, but only resentment.

“There’s a secret room. You don’t have to hunt intercessors to get there.”

“A secret room? Like a wolf village?”

“Well, it’s similar.”

“So you’re going to meet the beast again?”

“No, it’s not like that. The secret room here is full of monsters.”

Those who suddenly die.

What were you expecting?

“Huh… I’m also Rin…”

“…Huh?”

“No… Rin.”

Judging by the reaction, it seemed that he wanted to make friends with Rin.

“But, then what should I do? If I keep the Dark Priest alive, I guess I’ll keep using the Dark Blessing?”

“Perhaps.”

“Then the battle difficulty…”

“Is that so? I don’t think there will be much difference.”

“Ah…”

If you keep neglecting the middle boss, the Dark Priest, it will interfere with the battle throughout, but there won’t be any major problems.

Our party’s firepower is enough to offset that.

“As long as you don’t deal damage to Jungbo, the only skills you use will be Blessing of Darkness. So you just have to be careful while hunting. Especially Melissa. Be careful of wide-area magic.”

“Huh? Then how do you hunt? Isn’t it just mobs to catch them? If you can’t use Arcane Storm…”

“You can use it. Just be careful when you encounter a mid-boss. It’s going around slowly from the outside of the room anyway, so there’s nothing to worry about at first.”

“Oh, yes!”

“What about the Bone Golem?”

The last question was Mumu.

You can see it right in front of you, but in the room there are as many as ten Bone Golems occupying their seats.

“First of all, go around the outskirts, find a spot, and lure the golems one by one. There’s a sniper in our party, so don’t worry.”

Rachel looks at my face startled.

“Me…?”

“I’m not asking you to hunt alone. If you lure it, I’ll deal with it quickly, so don’t worry.”

“Isn’t it? Phew…”

“What’s the reaction? If you’re an archer, shouldn’t you play with one or two golems by yourself?”

“That’s right… But we don’t even have a main healer. It’s dangerous to make mistakes. Like I said before, I prefer stability…”

Did you say that?

I knew he was passive, but…

“Instead, the maximum HP has increased more than twice as much as usual. Also, this golem is slow, and the mobs are all organized even to the entrance of the dungeon, so it’s not difficult to deal with moving…”

“Go, it’s possible. Me too… I’m just a little scared…”

I said, looking at Rachel with a cold gaze.

“Somehow, Rachel doesn’t fit in with our party…”

“Huh? Ah, no. I can do it! I can do it! This golem is chewing gum!”

“Really? It’s a party without a main healer?”

“Well, then! Instead, the buffs are crazy! I ate some food! hehehe…”

Somehow, this guy seems to have a very easy-going personality.

“If there are no more questions, let’s start attacking right away.”

* * *

Without entering the room, we hunted the monsters around the entrance by luring them into the passage one by one.

“What kind of hunting speed…”

I was also surprised by the firepower that the mole hunted, but the firepower to focus on one was also beyond my imagination.

“Are these guys elite monsters?”

It was to the point where I doubted whether the Ghouls and Skeletons were elite level monsters.

Without being able to properly use the skill once, he repeatedly sat down on the floor in about ten seconds.

This is probably because it creates tremendous synergy with various buffs, cooking effects, castle attribute attack bonuses against the undead, and Michael’s defense reduction curse.

Padding-

Lastly, with Rin’s attack added, even the monsters in the Nightmare Dungeon couldn’t withstand a 7-to-1 Dagul.

“Okay, since the entrance is almost finished, let’s clean it up in a clockwise direction.”

“Yeah… But how many do you drive?”

“About 40?”

“That much? Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“It’s okay. Ghouls are slow anyway, so lure the skeletons into the passage and hunt them down first. The method is the same as before.”

“Yes.”

Some people joined today for the first time, but our party went hand in hand.

Starting from the entrance, while catching close to 90% of the monsters in the room, not even a single small emergency occurred.

And in between.

The levels of Mumu and Melissa, which were level 60, increased by one.

“Congratulations.”

“Wow, that goes up so fast.”

“Thank you.”

“Ohh, I need to learn a new skill!”

‘At this rate, 63 will be filmed without difficulty today… The key is…’

The plan went smoothly.

Thanks to hunting so many elite monsters, the children as well as the lemon guy who had been staying at 67 for a long time were on the verge of leveling up.

“Let’s go to another room.”

“Huh? Are there still left?”

Currently, there are about 50 elite monsters in the center of the first room, and only the Dark Priest, the middle boss standing quietly among them, remains.

The mid-boss is annoying, but it is a situation where you only have to lure and hunt monsters one by one using Rachel’s shadow arrow skill.

But I stopped everyone.

“I need a sacrifice.”

“A sacrifice?”

“Yes. If you want to go to the hidden room, you’d better leave it there.”

“What the hell is the hidden room?”

“It’s long to explain. For now, trust me and follow me.”

“Anyway…”

“Aren’t you trying to do something weird again?”

“Just trust me?”

I left the first room with a light smile.

Everyone grumbled but eventually followed me, and so we headed for the second room.

Only Michael was glancing at the remaining Dark Priest with a complex face.

* * *

“Brother. Can we really move alone like this?”

“Ah, just trust me.”

Kim Chul-joong, one of the executives of the giant guild Demon Slash.

He took the guild’s close brothers and headed to the Nightmare Dungeon Twisted Catacombs.

This is because information came in that a chef who has emerged as a hot topic these days organized a party and headed here.

“Still, getting Gilma-hyung’s permission…”

“Hey. I’m a high-ranking official, man. Don’t you know that you can take care of small things like this?”

“However, Gilma-hyung gave up on recruiting the chef and chose to nurture him…”

“This baby! Hey! Is it not good? I believe it. Did you forget what the old job is?

Cheoljoong Kim.

He was one of the top 5 hackers in the Demon Slash Guild full of billers.

He was also the head of a huge outsourcing company, and because of his strong pride, he was also one of the executives who often clashed with the guild master Kang Dae-san.

“What is our number one goal? It’s to go home as soon as possible. It’s good to train a cook, but if you can bring someone who has one, you shouldn’t bring it. Gilma’s pride is too strong. We don’t like that. Are you in a position to cover it up?”

“Yes, but…”

“I believe and follow me. You won’t lose money. Rather than that, you’re sure that he has entered here?”

“Yes. He must have gone in here.”

“Really? You’ll understand when you go in. What are you all doing? Let’s go in right away.”

“Yes…”

[The party has entered ‘Twisted Catacombs’.]

“That’s right, that’s right. The aisle is empty.”

Monsters are not visible in the passage from the entrance.

It was certain that there was a preceding party attacking this dungeon.

Kim Chul-joong smiled and smacked his lips.

“If it’s enough to run a dungeon on the lowest difficulty level, I’ll do it if I say a few words. That bastard isn’t flexible anyway. Guys, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

“Eh… I don’t know if Gilma hyung gets angry.”

“Hmph. Let’s see if that bastard can get angry even if I seduce the chef.”
