An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 069 Approaching Threat (Third Party Perspective)

 A room composed of bones and flesh-like objects made of pulsating creatures.

"Preparations are in order."

"I see."

 The Black Mist Person and the Hooded Man are facing each other.

 The Hooded Man is sitting in a chair, he briefly responds to the report from the Mist, and then silently ponders something.

"What should we do?"

"That's right. Send them to the other world right away."

 When the Mist asked for a reply, the Hooded Man started in surprise and gave instructions.

"I understand."

 The Mist tries to disappear as soon as it replies,

"No, that's right. I'll go see them off too."

 The Hooded Man stands up, goes around the desk and approaches the Mist.

"As you wish."

 The two of them disappear from the scene with the words of the Mist.

 The two of them reappear in a space where tentacles gather together like the roots of a tree in the center to form a single pillar.

 Hundreds of people are gathered there. All of them are humanoid, but various parts of their bodies are replaced by atypical beings, their skin is pale, and they are almost non-human.

 Each of these individuals has a power that sets them apart from the lower monsters that appear in the dungeons. All of them have a magical power concentration of A-rank or higher. Even S-ranked beings were mixed in.

 However, these beings are not the ones with power like the Mist or the Hooded Man, but the ones at the bottom.

 Even the dozens of them, the lowest-ranking beings, are expected to cause considerable damage to the place where they are sent, but if more beings are sent, the damage cannot be imagined.

 When the two of them appear on the spot, the hundreds of lower beings kneel.

"Good, everyone, raise your faces, and stand up."

 The Hooded Man speaks and makes them stand up.

"You are a vanguard to another world. All you have to do is, in the place where the mad beast rampaged, dominate the human race in the area with fear and make them slaves that move at our will. Since the groundwork has already been prepared, it will be an easy task, don't make a mistake."

""Yes.""

 Everyone responds to the Hooded Man's words at the same time.

"Then, ready for transfer."

"I'm counting on you."

"Yes."

 The Mist heads under the single pillar that has gathered together. A device like a distorted terminal was shining there. The Mist handles the terminal as if it were playing a piano, and the part that strikes the keyboard makes a clattering sound.

 After a few minutes, light began to leak through the gaps in the pillars that had gathered together.

"Ready to intervene in the respawn system."

 A circle of intricate blood-red patterns is drawn near the pillars in response to the voice of the Mist.

 This device was one of the terminals for intervening in the Dungeon System. This device intervenes in the Dungeon System, interferes with the resurrection of monsters, and sends the lowest-ranked beings to another world.

 This time, they will be sent as a foothold to another dungeon near where they sent the mad beast.

"Go!! Beings of the Demon World 'Kjera's Wrath'!! Repaint the other world like our world!!"(TN:Not really sure how to translate this last part, it's 《ラース・イェラ》 = raasu i ~e ra/la, first part is definitely 'wrath', not sure what the 2nd half is. The ~e means an extended e sound, like eeeh, can also make the following consonant be doubled. Any suggestions? Edit: putting it as Kjera's Wrath for now, thanks to Krazy K for the suggestion.)

""Yes.""

 When the Hooded Man raised his voice, hundreds of beings stepped into the magic circle and suddenly disappeared from the scene with a dazzling light.

"Now let's wait for the good news."

"Yes."

 The Hooded Man, who has finished seeing them off, leaves the place, and only the Mist remains in the place.

"It seems that the transfer was successful without any problems."

[ Yes. ]

 The voice of the lowest-class beings come back from the terminal.

 The terminal was also equipped with a communication function. It seems that they were able to get into the monster respawn without any problem and were sent to the dungeon in the other world. No abnormality can be seen from the data sent from the terminal.

"Then, get started."

[ Acknowledged. ]

 The Mist gives instructions and disconnects the communication.

"Oh my, it seems like I can even contact someone in the other world immediately. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!!"

 While looking at the information sent from the terminal, showing up on the featureless face of the Mist, was a greatly distorted mouth.

 In this way, a crisis was approaching the world from a place no one knew.
