Episode 10

The Totally Unfair Spider Traps

Episode 10

The Totally Unfair Spider Traps

Yep, this place screams "dungeon."

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B1F

The Spider's Web B1F.

There are lots of obstructions, like stone pillars, that create blind corners,

so watch out for ambushes by spider monsters.

The forward party's main focus will be searching for and dispatching enemies in our path.

Got it. Keep your guard up, guys.

Forward Guard

Class: Fighter

Rank E Party

Dragon's Roar

Leader

Name: Krad

Age: 23

Race: Human

Dragon's Roar

Member

Name: Gennel

We got your back, bro!

Dragon's Roar

Member

Name: Balz

We're rarin' to go, aren't we, Victor?!

Yeah! We'll show you what the Dragon's Roar is all about!

Dragon's Roar

Member

Name: Victor

They sure are excited.

Yeah...

Rear Guard

Rank E Party

Eyes of the Forest

Spider monsters? Ugh...

I don't want to even get close to them.

How can you be an adventurer if you're scared of bugs?

Eyes of the Forest

Leader

Name: Frion

Age: 49

Race: Wood Elf

Class: Spirit Sorcerer

Come on, now, let's focus up and do our jobs protecting the rear.

Rank A

Adventurer

Name: Amanda

The Spider's Web... So many memories.

Hmm?

Back when I was a novice, this dungeon was a hot spot for adventurers.

Everyone wanted to be the first to beat it, so it was crazy crowded.

Fun as it sounds, lots of people lost their lives here.

Plenty of those who died were parents who left children behind.

With nowhere to go, the orphan children flooded the streets of Alessa.

That was when I decided to open the orphanage.

Did you have lots of money 'cause you were powerful?

Nope! I was too weak to earn much back then, but the townsfolk gave me tons of help.

Enough reminiscing.

Monsters at 10 o'clock!

Behind us at our 5 o'clock, too!

Spider monsters engaged!

Whoa, they're coming in from the sides, too!

We're surrounded!

Trap Spiders, huh? They're nothin' special.

Name: Trap Spider

Race: Monster - Insect

VIT:

INT:

STR:

AGI:

We'll stomp you into bug guts!

Skills: Superior Hearing 2, Jump 1,

Poison Spray 1, Web Sling 2

Trap Sense 2, Create Trap 1, UV Vision,

Shed Skin, Create Poison, Poison Fang

Let's go, Dragon's Roar!

Yeah!

You three take the wings!

Yes, sir!

C'mon, you bastards!

Finish 'im, bro!

Double Spear!

The dragon…

Is roarin' loud!

Bro!

No need for the rest of ya!

I'm perfectly fine with that.

Rank C Party

The Azure Guardians

Trap Spiders aren't particularly tough themselves,

The Azure Guardians

Leader

Name: Cruise Riouselle

Age: 28

Race: Human

Class: Duelist

but their webs are more of a hassle than their rank would imply.

They'll immobilize you if you're caught in them.

True, but they're weak to fire, so we can just burn them away.

Mm-hmm.

The Azure Guardians

Member

Name: Eizelle

Race: Human

Class: Thief

The material they're made of is prety valuable, though,

so burning them's a bit of a waste.

Oh, huh. Let's try not to use fire when possible.

Did you get all that? Please be careful, Miss Fran.

Mmkay.

They're treating her like an arsonist in the making!

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B2F

The Spider's Web B2F.

The floor design is a bit complex.

Other Insect-type monsters spawn on this floor, so stay vigilant.

Forward Guard

Eyes of the Forest

Amanda.

Yes, dear?

What's the difference between Arts, Skills, and Magic?

Whoa, Fran's asking Amanda questions on her own now?

I don't actually know how it all works.

You're already asking for help!

Okay, can I give you a big hug?

No, thanks.

I've been meaning to ask how other adventurers learn Arts or other knowledge.

Let's start with Arts.

Arts are attacks strengthened by mana guided through your body by Spirit Manipulation.

Some believe they were created by the Gods of Combat and Battle.

Krad! Monsters over there!

Yep, I got 'em!

You're all mine!

Spear Art:

Power Swing!

That was an Art.

We both have Arts, too. Mine are Whip, and yours are Sword.

How do you practice them or learn new ones?

I can answer that for you.

When you're in battle or training,

and execute a move similar to that art, or the MP flowing through your body is just right…

Power Thrust!

The Art will come to you, like a divine revelation.

Whoa.

Was it not like that for you, Fran?

I don't remember.

Oh, my.

Makes sense. She started off with the ability to use Sword Arts Level 7.

It's sometimes faster to learn new Arts by learning them from an experienced teacher.

Yeah, having a Teacher makes it fast to learn all sorts of stuff!

Not sure that was what she was getting at.

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B3F

B3F.

No obvious obstructions in our path, and fewer monsters overall, however…

Whew, finally in a more open space!

Yeah, feels like I can finally relax.

A trap?!

Sorry, bro!

Traps will appear more often, starting on this floor.

Dammit, you coulda told us that first!

Does this disable the traps?

Don't touch that!

Coulda called that.

Come, now, stay calm!

That looked like it hurt...

Eizelle, could you disarm the traps?

You got it, boss.

Next, let's talk about Skills.

Mm-hmm. Please.

Skill: Trap Sense.

Skills are divine gifts the world grants us when our souls are sufficiently trained to use them.

I'm done clearin' the traps on the path ahead.

I want the Trap Sense skill.

Same. It'll be good to have when we want to do dungeons by ourselves.

In addition to common Skills,

there are Unique Skills and Bonus Skills, given out on the whim of the Gods.

Some Skills might be beyond our ability to define properly.

Last, let's talk about magic.

Magic is cast by using Mana Manipulation to control mana outside the body.

There are four elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

Their advanced forms are Land, Sea, Inferno, and Storm.

We've already learned the first four and have advanced Fire magic, too.

When you learn magic, first, you need to see if you are suited for the element.

For Water Magic, every day, you might douse yourself with water, bathe in it,

fill your mind with images of water…

When you've become so close with water that it appears in your dreams,

then you'll be able to learn its magic.

If you're not suited for the element, then you'll never learn it, no matter how hard you try.

I see.

For Earth Magic, you might bury yourself in the ground, or eat a full course meal of dirt.

No thanks!

How did you learn Wind Magic?

It was so boring. I had to bathe in the wind and sprint through strong gales.

Completely naked, too.

Naked?!

Okay. I'll try that, then.

What?! Not under my watch, you won't!

If we can get through here, we'll be down to B4F.

There are more monsters than we expected based on reports.

The Eyes of the Forest will take the lead here.

We'll spread out and search the area, take out what we can,

then come around to finish them!

Got it!

Then, there's Compound Element Magic.

What's a compound element?

If you have an aptitude for two elements, you can combine them into a compound element.

Wood Magic: Plant Bullets!

That was Wood Magic, which combines Water and Earth magic.

Wood Elves like Frion and our Guild Master are born with affinities for Water and Earth,

making it very easy to learn both elements even at low levels.

Frion, you're so normal but so cool.

I'm what now?

There are five other compound elements:

Ice Magic, from Water and Wind.

Life Magic, from Water and Fire.

Thunder Magic, from Wind and Fire.

Sand Magic, from Wind and Earth.

And Metal Magic, from Earth and Wind.

Thunder Magic sounds cool.

You can use Fire, Earth, and Wind magic.

If you improve your Wind and Fire magic, you might be able to learn Thunder Magic.

Really?!

It's rare to have affinities for more than one element, even rarer for more than two.

I tried to learn Fire, but I just didn't have what it took.

Damn, even two is considered rare?

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B4F

Let's take a break.

Good idea. Monsters won't come after us on this floor.

So kinda like a save point?

Here, Amanda. Thank you for teaching me all that.

My, you're welcome. What is this?

Curry! It's super good. It's the king of foods!

Where'd she'd get that from?! Curry's the best!

Here, bro, have some jerky and bread! Wow, you're right, it's delicious!

What a curious person.

Agreed.

Fran gave her curry away?

That must mean she trusts Amanda now.

Are there magic elements other than those main four?

Yes, Light and Shadow.

You see lots of monsters who can use them, but for people, it's rarer than compound magic.

There's no way we can tell her we can use all four elements AND Shadow Magic…

Mm-hmm.

Each has derivative elements.

Cleansing and Illusion fall under Light, while Poison and Necromancy fall under Shadow.

Question!

Go ahead, Fran.

Are Shadow Magic and Necromancy only used by bad guys?

They might sound "bad," but they're just one type of magic.

I know a Necromancer myself.

Though he is a bit of a shady person, and can act quite suspicious sometimes.

If a stalker like Amanda's calling him shady, he's gotta be a real weirdo.

There's also Healing Magic, Summoning Magic…

The more you explore the world, the more types of magic you'll find.

Too many!

Yes! Too many to remember them all. Some can only be used by monsters.

Really?

Monsters use mana to live their day-to-day lives, so that gives them the talent for magic.

I've been absorbing stuff from monsters, so that's why I have rare magic and skills. Okay.

That's the basic gist of everything.

If you have any more questions, I'm always happy to answer.

Mmkay, thanks.

Y'know…

This has been too easy. You sure this'll be enough for our exam?

It gets tougher starting from B5F.

There will be many more monsters that will use coordinated attacks.

There'll also be tons more traps.

Poison dart traps, pitfalls, and way worse than that,

super-dangerous traps that move you from one place to another: Teleporters.

I've heard stories of adventurers teleporting inside walls…

Those do sound pretty dangerous.

There are other traps that can change stuff on you, too, like force unequip all your gear.

All the more reason for us to be more cautious from here on out.

Teacher…

Hm? What's up?

Zappy magic.

Huh?

I wanna learn Thunder Magic.

C'mon, you didn't know anything about compound magic just minutes ago.

You can't just jump straight into learning it now.

Later, okay?

Aww...

Later when? When, when, when, when?

Look, later…

Please, Teacher, I wanna zap stuff! Zappy zappy!

Look…

Please?

Okay, we'll learn! But no using it until we get home!

Promise me, okay?

Yep! I promise! Thanks, Teacher!

Let's see, I have 47 Evolution Points.

Zappy zappy!

Our Fire Magic is already at Level 10, so let's max out Wind Magic.

Zappy zappy!

Wind Magic has reached Level 10.

You have acquired the title "Wind Mage."

Fire Magic 10

Inferno Magic 1

Wind Magic 10

You have unlocked Storm Magic 1.

Storm Magic 1

Fire Magic and Wind Magic have reached Level 10.

You have unlocked Thunder Magic 1.

Thunder Magic 1

There, we learned it. I'll add it to our shared skills.

Yay! I can make things go zappy!

Yep. We can practice when we get back.

Thunder Magic: Stun…

Whoa, whoa!

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B5F

Right, let's continue our expedition.

I summon thee, Tree Spirit Juran!

Bind those Trap Spiders, without entangling my allies!

So with Spirit Magic, you don't have to use a fancy spell, you can just tell them what to do.

Cool.

There sure are a lot of them...

Don't let the battle get out of hand. Stay calm and focused!

They got me! I've been poisoned!

What did I just say?!

Here's an antidote.

Thanks.

Keep it up, guys!

Trap removal is almost-

Yep, that's the last one!

That was damn close! You did that on purpose!

Is everyone still strong enough to continue?

Please! Don't take the Dragon's Roar for weaklings!

The Eyes of the Forest can continue.

The next floor is the deepest, B6F, and it's where the Dungeon Core is located.

We'll gather crystals there, then leave.

That will be the end of our expedition and your exam.

DUNGEON: THE SPIDER'S WEB

B6F

They've got us surrounded!

Let the long-range archers and mages take out the enemies!

We'll clear the path forward!

Take care not to get poisoned!

Whoa, there are even more of them now?

Come at me, bastards!

Oh, shit…

What's wrong?!

The antidote's not working…

What the…? Identify!

Name: Gennel

HP:

Status: Lethal Poison

Status: Lethal Poison?

Fran, that guy's in trouble!

Use Healing Magic to cure him!

Mm-hmm.

Healing Magic: Antidote.

An angel…?

The poison's gone! Th-thanks!

Mm-hmm.

This isn't right. The spiders are getting tougher.

Teacher.

Yep. Time for Identify.

Name: Trick Spider

Race: Monster - Insect

VIT:

INT:

STR:

AGI:

Oh, that'll do it.

Skills: Superior Hearing 2, Regeneration 1,

Jump 1, Poison Spray 2,

Web Sling 3, Trap Sense 4,

Create Trap 3, Create Confuse Poison,

Confuse Fang, UV Vision,

Shed Skin, Create Lethal Poison,

Lethal Poison Fang

These guys are the harder monsters, Trick Spiders.

They're the tougher ones that use lethal poison. Be careful, everyone.

Seriously?!

The Guild's settings should only be summoning Trap Spiders…

This shouldn't be happening in a defeated dungeon!

Did they evolve?!

There are tons of them, and they have lethal poison.

This is way too much for a Rank E party to handle.

Roar, Eyes, fall back! We're retreating to B5F!

You gotta be kidding! We didn't come this far…

Balz! Victor!

Fire Arrow!

Miss Amanda, Fran, help us retreat!

Mm-hmm.

Okay!

Whip Art: Lion Dance!

Sonic Wave!

Okay, retreat!

Spiders here, too!

We're surrounded!

Those two were hit with Confuse Poison!

What?!

Stop!

Run for that side passage!

Yeah!

Hey! I haven't finished disarming the traps there!

Fran!

Fran, you okay?!

I let my guard down.

Sheesh, those idiots…

Huh? What's this?

Teacher?

I sense mana… No!

It's a Teleporter! Fran!

Teacher?

It's okay, just hold onto me!

As long as we're not inside a wall, I can figure something out!

I'll…

Huh?

No… did I…

It was a Teleporter and a Force Unequip trap?!

How could that appear in a defeated dungeon?

Dammit, my bros!

Eizelle! Do you know where they went?

According to the guild map, it should be set to a small room near by!

Then we should hurry!

Victor! Balz! We're comin'!

Fran!

She's not here.

No…

So the teleportation location got changed?

How? There's no Dungeon Master, it couldn't have been changed!

No.

There is one possibility…

Teacher?

Teacher? No…

Something's over there.

Something big.

Miss Amanda, what do you mean?

I know of one monster that can create and construct traps.

A higher-level version of the Trick Spider:

A Trickster Spider.

Without Teacher, I can't use any skills or magic…

Echolocation! Sense Presence! Thermal Vision!

Dammit, no use! I can't find her with any of the skills I have!

Fran...

Where are you? Where did you go?!

Answer me!
