◈ The Dungeon Gallery's Terrifying Newbie ◈
Chapter 58: worldiscold (4)
──────
golemking: What the hell do we do...
└ golemking: This is seriously bad if we can't even use the Anomalies.
└ golemking: Looking at the way those bastards fight, they clearly came in ready for blood.
└ skullbones: Fuck LOL...
└ skullbones: I knew things felt like they were going way too smoothly...
└ skullbones: So the Activation tag only applies during Waves in their own dungeon after all.
└ skullbones: We were being way too optimistic.
└ dip: Nothing we can do about it...
└ dip: All we can do now is trust in carwash's luck and skill.
└ no_minions_4_me: Yeah. It's not over yet, is it?
└ no_minions_4_me: It's just that the Anomaly Minions aren't moving.
└ no_minions_4_me: The situation isn't hopeless at all.
└ no_minions_4_me: They're people too, so they'll definitely make mistakes.
└ no_minions_4_me: If we keep targeting them relentlessly, we can stop them.
└ orange★: Yeah.
└ orange★: It's too early to give up.
└ orange★: They've only just entered Area 2. You can still win.
└ anonbutcher: You can do it.
└ anonbutcher: Keep it together and focus.
└ anonbutcher: You didn't survive all this time just to die here.
└ humanluvr: newbie.
└ humanluvr: Get out of there right now.
└ nightraven: humanluvr...
└ humanluvr: I know it might sound cold.
└ humanluvr: I don't want carwash to die either.
└ humanluvr: But there's nothing newbie can do by staying there.
└ humanluvr: What, are you telling newbie to fight the Swordmaster barehanded?
└ humanluvr: I'm absolutely against it.
└ humanluvr: newbie has already done more than enough.
└ humanluvr: You did your best.
└ humanluvr: You really shouldn't push yourself any further.

I stared at the hologram.
I could see the Gallery window at the same time, and when I glanced over, the mood there was awful.
It was practically a funeral.
newbie: nononononono
└ newbie: There's still a way.
└ newbie: Ah, I was so stupid this time.
└ newbie: Don't worry too much, guys.
└ newbie: I'll figure something out.
I thought differently.
It was possible.
It really was.
If I'd thought a little harder, I could've handled this without any losses.
Haah.
I bit my lip.
I'd gotten too caught up in the overwhelming power of the Anomalies.
I regretted not giving it enough thought, but this wasn't the time for regret. It was time to act.
I could still set things right.
This might work.
No, this was the only way.
I had to try.
"secha, can you hold out for just four more days somehow?"
"Why four days all of a sudden...?"
"I think I might be able to make the Anomaly Minions move in your dungeon too. Could you trust me just once and think of this as your last line of defense?"
I told secha what to do.
First, retrieve the neck-snapping yandere from the swamp.
I'd send a signal through the Gallery at the right time, so he should place it in the Area with the intruders.
"..."
secha looked at me skeptically.
Then he nodded.
"...All right."
"Make sure you keep posting live updates on the Gallery. Anyway, I'm heading out. Let's both make it out alive and meet again."
Without hesitation, I tore the Escape Scroll.
For a moment, I worried whether Malrang could leave too.
But Malrang crawled over and swallowed Chase's Escape Scroll.
Malrang's body lit up as well.
Good.
.
.
.
"Let's go full speed!"
"Erk."
Malrang flew at top speed.
It cut through the clouds at a pace that felt like outright abuse.
The window I'd been looking at just now was the Wave notification window.
Dreamland still had four days until its Wave.
If intruders entered during that period, the Wave would begin.
If not, the timer would start over.
The Anomaly Minions' Activation tag triggered when Dreamland's Wave began.
That meant...
There was a good chance that Anomaly Minions located outside Dreamland would move once Dreamland's Wave began.
They hadn't reacted to Dino World's Wave.
And Malrang could move around freely in Dino World.
This had to be the answer.
I was sure of it.
.
.
.
"Kerruk, kerruk... K-kerruk!?"
For a Wave to begin, it first needed intruders.
Goblins lived near Fire Forge.
Do you remember Gronak, Chase's friend who had entered the dungeon before?
While I was eavesdropping, he said he'd wiped out Goblins as a ranger before arriving at Dreamland to help his friend.
I'd had Restia lure the Goblins and Trolls from the Lowjinrat Great Mountain Range into Dreamland before.
Then what about forcing them?
I meant forcibly dragging intruders into Dreamland.
It should be possible.
I was practically a bug in so many ways.
I felt a little sorry for the Goblin I'd caught and knocked unconscious.
It was currently being dragged along by Malrang.
But our situation was what it was, so it couldn't be helped.
Once this is all over, I'll give you something nice...!
.
.
.
.
.
All the preparations were complete.
The Goblin had entered the dungeon.
Now all that remained was to wait for the Wave.
【24 hours remain until the Wave.】
I opened the Gallery.
Then I clicked on secha's latest post.
worldiscold: Ha... They've already broken through to Area 6... Fuck...
The situation was bad.
Nine elves had died.
But the damage Dino World had taken was far greater.
More than half its Minions had either died or been injured.
Dungeons at level 200 or higher have an Entry Limit of twenty.
Ten elves and one Swordmaster were still alive and well.
secha appeared to have been injured by the Swordmaster and was recovering at the Healing Spring.
Only Areas 7 and 8 remained.
Areas 9 and 10 of Dino World weren't combat Areas.
In other words, if Area 8 fell, the game was over.
worldiscold: Fuck, I seriously want to kill myself...
└ humanluvr: I'm sorry I can't do anything to help...
└ humanluvr: And I think I spoke too harshly before... I'm really sorry...
└ worldiscold: Why are you apologizing, humanluvr...? The elves are the ones to blame LOL...
└ worldiscold: And of course you'd worry about newbie.
└ worldiscold: If you hadn't said it, someone else would have.
└ worldiscold: And of course I have something to pin my hopes on.
└ worldiscold: newbie said they'd figure out how to make the Anomaly Minions move, but I'm busy, so gotta go.
From here on, all I could do was pray.
I watched quietly, biting my lip.
【20 hours remain until the Wave.】
【15 hours remain until the Wave.】
【10 hours remain until the Wave.】
As the Wave timer decreased, the elves drew closer and closer to the Core Room.
.
.
.
.
.
【6 hours remain until the Wave.】
Area 7 had fallen in the end.
Only Area 8, the final line of defense, remained.
worldiscold: Fuck, I survived another turn...
Fortunately, the elves chose to rest instead of advancing.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Yeah.
You guys had to sleep too.
This was fine.
This would work.
newbie: Place the yandere in Area 8 now.
└ worldiscold: Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
└ newbie: It might affect the other Minions too.
└ newbie: Keep the Minions far away, and be careful too, secha.
└ worldiscold: Got it, got it.
Then it was time for me to get ready too.
It would be a disaster if the Goblin left during the Wave.

worldiscold: asdkjflaskdjflaksjdf
└ worldiscold: Holy fuck, it's moving...
└ worldiscold: Ah, what a fucking relief...
└ golemking: It's actually moving LOL, fucking hell.
└ golemking: What? How did you do that???
└ dip: There's only one thing I can think of...
└ dip: Don't tell me this bastard newbie kidnapped an intruder outside and brought it into the dungeon???
└ cowhead: newbie is completely insane, fuck, the dopamine.
└ cowhead: Look how close that timing was LOL.
└ squintychar: Is newbie the Dungeon Gallery's hero?
└ squintychar: Haah... Just this once, come into my arms.
└ whaleyeah: Gay.
└ squintychar: Honestly, being into newbie doesn't count as gay...
└ psychward_mvp: Finally showing your true colors;;;
└ magichero: N-newbie, I'll give you my username...
└ magichero: I'll gladly hand it over...
└ magichero: Ah, but what a relief...
└ magichero: Honestly, it couldn't have been easy to find a solution in that situation.
└ magichero: It's amazing you stayed so calm. You really did well...
└ orange★: It's not over yet.
└ orange★: Don't let your guard down, especially you, carwash.
└ worldiscold: Okay...
Thankfully, the Weeping Person Statues were moving.
The intruders hadn't entered Area 8 yet.
But if you looked closely, the statues' eyes were lit up.
That was proof the Anomalies were working properly.
It was too early to celebrate.
The Wave wasn't over yet.
That aside.
"K-kerruk..."
"Erk."
Malrang was pinning the Goblin down with its heavy body.
Sorry...
Once everything is wrapped up safely, I'll let you go unharmed.
