Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 43.2

As a precaution, I put on a black mask and activated the technique [Shadow Movement].

Evolved from the skill [Walker of the Dark Night], the skill [Shadow Walker]. It not only includes techniques superior to those of the Dark Night Walker era but also provides a simple increase in pure performance.

Among them, the technique [Shadow Movement] became very convenient, with the distance that can be traveled increasing tenfold, the speed of movement in shadows doubling, and even nullifying detection of presence. In other words, it allows actions similar to those of an assassin.

I immediately turned into a shadow and entered the building.

Inside, it was cleaner than I expected, with maids and butlers standing out.

It seems this isn’t a nest of evil after all.

I couldn’t understand the layout inside the building, but being in shadow allowed me to move through gaps in the building and eventually descend underground.

After wandering for a while, I finally found the entrance to the underground passage.

I see. It’s safe to assume this building was indeed created to monopolize the dungeon. This is because the entrance to the underground passage is connected not on the ground floor but on the second floor, hidden behind a statue. It’s like a secret passage.

I don’t know who did this, but for now, I’ll check the underground as well.

Entering the underground passage, I saw a familiar sight and eventually managed to enter the temple.

The structure leading to the Emblam Dungeon’s temple was exactly the same, but it’s a shame it’s buried underground and cannot be seen from the outside.

Inside, the structure was similar, resembling a Greek ruin with a large turquoise crystal floating in the deepest part.

I approached it.

———-

Name: Beryl

Clearance Level: 0

Party Members: None

Level: 18

———-

So, the clearance level is recorded separately for each dungeon.

Since I’m here, I might as well go inside.

I was absorbed into the ground and immediately the scenery changed to a cave-like view similar to the Emblam Dungeon.

The walls here were reddish-black.

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve come to the Royal Capital Underground Dungeon. I used to mostly travel in the Empire, so it was around the time when I was an intermediate.

At that moment, I sensed someone’s presence at the end of the corridor.

What now. So, someone is indeed monopolizing this.

However, if I’m found here, it could become troublesome. If I’ve confirmed the existence of the dungeon, that should be enough.

I left the dungeon and used [Shadow Movement] again to leave the building.

Now, if I can’t sneak into the Royal Capital Underground Dungeon, what should I do to raise my proficiency…? Just using [Shadow Walker] with techniques like [Shadow Movement] and [Shadow] would help raise it, but it would take too much time at this pace. At this rate, I might not even raise it to one by graduation.

This situation is not very favorable considering I might confront Demon Lord Tilvireisa at any time.

In that case… if I want to hunt, I’ll have to leave the Royal Capital.

But is that realistic? No, it’s unrealistic.

Because the Royal Capital is too vast, and while I could easily run full speed with Pochi, it could lead to misunderstandings and cause trouble for the young lady. Even if I deploy [Shadow] and fly around on rooftops, there’s a risk of being discovered…

Crossing the walls of the castle in front of me is easy, but there’s no hiding place in the open space where I come out. Even if I use [Shadow Movement], the recast time would give me away.

Well, if I think realistically, it’s the Royal Capital Underground Dungeon.

If it’s equivalent to the Emblam Dungeon, maybe I can advance to the third level in one go without encountering anyone?

Aaargh! What should I dooooo! Will I live for three years without being able to hunt properly? It would be so useful if I had that thing… but since I didn’t search for it at Emblam, there’s no way I have it…

At that moment.

Just as I was pondering, something unbelievable appeared before me.
