Dungeon Refrigerator 39.1

A Pest's Life

With Excalibur in both hands, I stepped for the first time into the 8th floor.

The battle with the crowbar was going well. Then, I decided to take this opportunity to see what was going on on the 8th floor. The construction of the 8th floor is similar to that of the 6th floor, the difference being the slightly higher ceiling. As usual, I built a simple position with spider nets near the stairs and proceeded on foot.

The spider net created with the skill [Mucus] will last for about an hour if I remember to make it last long enough and pour enough magic power into it. Incidentally, when using it in battle, the best balance between magical power and effect was to generate it with enough magical power to last for three to five minutes.

Then, the 8th-floor monster appeared from the back of the passage.

"Mmm, I knew it... that's how it is."

Another pest. No, maybe it was just a nasty pest, but that's a story for another time.

The monsters on the 8th floor were the same. And as usual, its size was strange. Its torso is about the size of a human's upper body, and its wings with creepy eyeballs are flapping rather than fluttering as it approaches. With its wings spread out, the moth's total width is nearly 2 meters.

The giant moth approaches us, its huge compound eyes shining and antennae swinging like car hair fuzz.

"Spider net! (Shubaaa!) (Shubhaa!) "Mooooo! It's fast!"

The spider net was released, assuming that with its approaching speed, it would be impossible to evade the moth. However, the giant moth turned around just in time to avoid colliding with the spider net.

"I did it, but I've already assumed anti-air combat! Don't underestimate otaku's imaginativeness!

Don't underestimate my magic! 

[Kyuhwahhhh......]

The space in the passage where the giant moth is flying is enveloped in a white fog.

The giant moth, sensing danger, flaps its wings to gain more distance, but it is too late. The flapping of its wings causes the white misty mucus to bind together and become sticky as if it had stuck its hand into a moving cotton candy machine.

".......! ...! (Flustered...)...! (Dosha!)"

The giant moth, perhaps unable to speak through its twirling, straw-like mouth, made no sound but struggled and crashed down, flapping its wings.

Adhesive field, a new technique I developed for flying monsters. The theory is the same as acid fog. In the same way that acid is sprayed as a mist, a space is created in which mucus is sprayed as a mist.

In the present case, it would be better to say "spraying spray paste all over a flying moth.

The giant moth's wings are scaly and seem to repel water and other liquids, but the thread-like mucus intertwined, enveloping the moth from the outside and blocking its movement.

"It looks like you've returned to your cocoon state again. Am I ready to record? Now it's time to analyze."

The giant moth crashed down behind the spider net and was photographed with a camera attached to my head. The camera attached to my head is used to capture the details of the moth's ecology.

Hmmm, first of all, it is a moth in appearance. The color is brown. Dark brown. It looks like the biggest and most conspicuous moth among the insects that are attracted to the fluorescent lights in the restrooms and watering holes at night when you go camping in the mountains.

However, the size is monster size. This dungeon seems to think that [anything big enough can be a monster].

"But...moths. What kind of attack methods do these monsters have?"

Speaking of moths' harm, if they are larvae, they feed on crops and garden plants. They can also cause dermatitis due to their poisonous needle hairs and poisonous spines. But even after they grow up and become moths. Do they still carry their venom?

Since it is a moth, there are no fangs, claws, or other objects that might be used as weapons at a glance. However, we can see something like spines growing on its body, so it would be better not to touch it carelessly.

The mouth is like a curly straw. It may be that it sticks its mouth into other creatures and sucks their bodily fluids. Scales spill from its wings every time it struggles and flaps its wings. It's sparkly and lame and a bit pretty, but it could also be an attack tool.

"Hmmm...neat shot. Okay, now let's check the life force one last time, just stay put and don't move (Doggone it)! Gusha! (smack!)"
