Hall of Fame (2)
The Hall of Fame is a dungeon located three days' walk away from Littleberry. It was quite a distance, so we rented a carriage to make the trip comfortably.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"No need to thank me. Then, I'll see you again in 15 days."
"Yes, see you then. Bye~"
The coachman who received the payment pulled the carriage back to Littleberry.
"This spot looks good. Abraham, let's set up the tent here."
"Understood, Master."
"Aquaril! I'm going to install traps. I'll be back soon!"
"We should check what kind of creatures live in this area. Let's go together."
It seemed everyone had filled their time, so they naturally took on their own tasks without me giving separate commands. Kanisia and Abraham set up the base camp, while Aquaril and Oralisa went to scout the surroundings.
Especially, installing traps around the base camp was important because there were sometimes parties that attacked while the dungeon was being raided. The attackers could be monsters that came out into the world when the dungeon flooded, or other masters.
The moment right after struggling to clear the dungeon is when the party is weakest. Attacking a party that has cleared the dungeon and stocked up more loot would yield more.
That's why parties clearing the dungeon install many traps near the base camp or station some troops.
Among the masters in this world, there are no people like me who madly clear dungeons, and one reason was this.
'Do I have nothing to do?'
Everyone's stats were high, so I had nothing to do while setting up the base camp. While the party members were installing the base camp, I checked the Hall of Fame.
'This is the Hall of Fame.'
The Hall of Fame, located in the middle of the Twin Forest, looked like a temple as if a hermit had hidden there. Despite not being managed by people for a long time, it was clean enough that no dust or spiderwebs could be found.
Dungeons of this form are called temple-type dungeons.
The Hall of Fame had 10 rooms, each with one monster, but the area was quite narrow because...
"Alan, the installation is done."
"Oh, really?"
I was lost in thought when Kanisia's voice came from behind, and I turned to look at her.
'Thinking about it, it's been a while since I had sex with Kanisia.'
Recently, I only had sex with my fairies Aquaril and Oralisa.
There wasn't any particular reason; it was just that the fairies kept making lewd expressions and begging for sex, so naturally I stopped having sex with Kanisia.
'Um... Is this the fairies' mischievous plan to prevent me from having sex with Kanisia by draining all my semen?'
It seemed like a mischievous plan by the fairies to extract all my semen so I couldn't have sex with Kanisia.
Well... If it's such a plan, I'm all for it.
"Then, let's unpack the luggage and prepare for the raid."
"Ready to enter right away?"
"Yeah. Today, we'll do a light raid up to the second room without going deep."
"Okay."
Even though stamina stats are high, it's not like you don't feel fatigue. To adjust condition, today we'll raid a simple easy room and start the full raid tomorrow.
"Oralisa and Aquaril are back, Master!"
"Response. Good job."
At that moment, Aquaril and Oralisa, who had gone to scout the surroundings and incidentally install traps, returned.
Whoosh-! Oralisa ran and jumped into my arms. Ironically, Oralisa has the lowest stamina stat in the party, but she has the most fighting spirit.
I hugged Oralisa, who was acting spoiled like a child in my arms, and patted her soft butt, and together with the party members, we climbed the stairs and entered the .
[A-Class Dungeon - Hall of Fame] has been entered.
Maximum number of entrants: 5
Dungeon raid appropriate level: Lv.120
Inside the temple, a status window appeared in front of my eyes.
The Hall of Fame is an A-class dungeon, barely scraping by. The minimum raid appropriate level for A-class dungeons is 120 levels.
Since I haven't promoted to 5-star yet, it's impossible for the current party to raid an A-class dungeon. We would be wiped out by regular monsters right away.
But there was no reason to worry just because the Hall of Fame is an A-class dungeon.
As I said before, the A-class dungeon grade is measured based on the boss monster. The monsters appearing in front are much weaker than that.
The first battle of is a one-on-one combat format.
The monster in the first room is .
Master and fairy, please come forward.
'Unbreakable Barnum...'
I already received info from Montblanc about the monsters in the Hall of Fame and memorized it. I immediately recalled what the 3-star monster was.
"Oralisa, will you go out?"
"Yeah! Oralisa will go, Master!"
Since it was a 3-star monster much weaker than us, there was no need to debate who would go, but to be safe, I sent out Oralisa, who has an advantage in attributes. Unbreakable Barnum was null attribute.
"Oralisa, watch carefully! Oralisa will defeat the monster amazingly!"
"Yeah. I'll be waiting?"
"Yeah! I'm waiting!"
Oralisa answered energetically and went forward. Her appearance was so brave that it looked like she was seeing a confident hamster general. So cute!
Participant: Fairy of Master [Alan Han (Gibung-i)], [Oralisa (★★★★)].
<Unbreakable Barnum (★★★)> appears.
Oralisa stood in the middle of the duel arena, and on the opposite side, a small life form was summoned.
It had the appearance of a giant rat walking on two legs, and the hand holding the bow like Oralisa had only three fingers.
That monster was , a monster commonly called Archer Ratman on the Gaia-rium continent.
Kuekuekuekuek-!
The Unbreakable Barnum summoned in the middle of the duel arena let out a tearing scream upon spotting Oralisa. As expected, it was a monster.
Kuek-! Kuekuekuek-!
"....."
Unlike the Unbreakable Barnum screaming as if it would pounce at any moment, Oralisa kept silent. She took an arrow from her quiver and strung it on the bowstring.
In fact, the moment the monster was summoned was the perfect opportunity to ambush. But Oralisa didn't shoot at it.
She wasn't being complacent because it was weaker than her.
Shortly after, the first match of will begin.

Match starts.
"Haaaat!"
Kuekuekuekuek-!
When the match start notification appeared, Oralisa and Unbreakable Barnum moved as if waiting for it. The fairy and monster shot arrows at each other.
Before the match starts, you can't attack the enemy.
This was one of the absolute rules of the Hall of Fame.
No matter how much of a 10-star master you are, you have to follow the absolute rules of the dungeon. That's why it's an absolute rule.
The two arrows flying at the same time, Oralisa and Unbreakable Barnum dodged the arrows at the same time.
Ping-!
The second arrow was shot by Unbreakable Barnum first. The guy was small enough to land on Oralisa's knee, and the bow and arrow were small too. The smaller the size, the faster the rate of fire.
"Hng!"
Oralisa easily dodged the arrow flying towards her leg. Then she shot the second arrow. Unbreakable Barnum rolled his body sideways to dodge the arrow. The monster shoots arrows while adjusting posture.
"What? Not bad? A 3-star monster acting tough?"
Kanisia, watching the battle between Oralisa and Unbreakable Barnum from outside the arena, was impressed.
Grade, stats, even skills.
Everything was superior to Oralisa.
But Unbreakable Barnum was fighting equally with Oralisa. In a situation where both had 0% hit rate, Unbreakable Barnum had more attack counts.
"Even though it's 3-star, it wasn't just because it became the first player in the Hall of Fame."
According to the info from Montblanc, Unbreakable Barnum was a monster that had some fame, or rather infamy, 30 years ago.
When the dungeon named <Ratman Nest> flooded, the one that came out into the world hid in the city's sewers and hunted people. Then, it killed 13 soldiers and two fairies who came to catch it and lost its life.
The monsters appearing in the Hall of Fame were named monsters that harmed the world like Unbreakable Barnum.
"Are you trying to settle it with pure archery?"
I muttered while watching Oralisa's battle. Oralisa and Unbreakable Barnum used cover like rocks or temple pillars to avoid each other's attacks.
No matter how much Unbreakable Barnum was a named monster, it was ultimately just 3-star. And Oralisa was a 4-star archer on the verge of 5-star.
If she used a skill, the battle would have ended long ago. But Oralisa didn't use any skills. Perhaps she was feeling the thrill of facing an enemy using a bow.
A tense atmosphere filled the arena. Since there were few arrows left, the number of attacks decreased.
"Eit!"
It was Oralisa who broke the tension first. She suddenly ran out from behind the rock she was hiding behind.
Kuekuekuekuek-!
The monster wasn't going to stay still since the enemy had broken cover. The one hiding behind the pillar shot an arrow at Oralisa.
"Yap!"
Ping-! Pak-!
Oralisa showed amazing skill. She shot the arrow while running, and the arrow collided with the one shot by Unbreakable Barnum in the middle.
Oralisa kept running, and the distance between them got closer.
Ping-!
The second fierce battle began. Unbreakable Barnum shot an arrow aiming for Oralisa's leg.
"... Huh?"
Since I was outside the arena, I could see the attack from Unbreakable Barnum. Behind the arrow flying towards Oralisa, there was another arrow.
It was shooting two arrows at the same time. The rate of fire was so surprising that it was hard to believe it was a monster's technique.
Is Oralisa going to get hurt...
"Hng!"
Oralisa, who had a smirk, changed the angle of the bow she was holding. Pak-! Pak-! Then, the two arrows flying straight hit her bow.
She had already noticed the dagger hidden by Unbreakable Barnum.
Ping-!
Oralisa easily blocked Unbreakable Barnum's attack and counterattacked. Despite the bow's angle being twisted, the arrow flew accurately towards Unbreakable Barnum.
Thud-!
K, kuekuekuek-!
The arrow stuck into Unbreakable Barnum's chest. But the small-bodied monster let out a scream and shot another arrow.
This was the reason the name <Unbreakable Barnum> was attached to a monster that was just an Archer Ratman. Despite being injured, it had the spirit of not giving up and continued attacking to kill at least one more enemy.
"Yap yap yap!"
Thud thud thud-!
But that spirit of Unbreakable Barnum didn't last long either.
Originally, it had accepted an overwhelming disadvantage in physical specs. And then it got injured on top of that.
K, kuekuek...
Eventually, Unbreakable Barnum, which had several arrows stuck in its body, pierced its forehead and fell down.
The winner of the first match of is [Oralisa (★★★★)].
With the victory reward, you can obtain one of the items used by .
Please select the item.
A notification appeared.
"Um..."
Oralisa, who was staring into space, thought for a moment and chose one. It seemed that only the players who participated in the match could see what items they could choose from.
Shortly after, a small bow was generated in Oralisa's hand. It seemed she chose the bow that Unbreakable Barnum used.
"Hee hee! Master! Did you see? Oralisa won!"
"Yeah, good job Oralisa! Awesome!"
"Hee hee hee!"
I gave a satisfied smile and gave a thumbs up, and Oralisa jumped up and down happily.
In fact, it wasn't that much praise, but she was the type that did better when praised that she was doing well. Praise strengthens Oralisa.
The second battlefield of is summoned.
"Ueong?"
After the battle ended, Oralisa, who was standing in the middle of the arena, was standing next to me.
Whoosh lalala lalala lalala-!
And the arena changed.
The arena started to change like cube pieces.
'It's like Inception.'
It felt like watching a scene from the movie Inception that I enjoyed in my previous life. It kept compressing and expanding space.
Before long, the second battlefield was created.
