I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 166

Chapter 166. Basement

Quietly, Kazane-san and I descended the stone stairs leading underground.

Though the stairs were dimly lit, there were lamps with flames placed at regular intervals on the left-hand wall, so it wasn’t entirely dark.

.

After descending about one floor’s worth of stairs, we reached a corridor.

The shadows of Kazane-san and I swayed on the corridor floor due to the light from the lamps.

As we proceeded down the corridor, we heard voices up ahead.

“Muahahaha… Eslyn, why don’t you give up already? This is the underground dungeon of my mansion. No matter how stubborn you are, no one will come to rescue you.”

“Ngh, ugh…! St-stop…! Nnngh…!”

Resonating in the underground stone corridor were the voices of a vile man and Eslyn-san.

Kazane-san and I exchanged glances and hurried to the corner.

Of course, [Stealth] skill was active, and we made almost no noise.

From around the corner, we peered down the corridor to the right.

It was the underground dungeon.

A straight corridor continued from where we were standing.

Along the way, there were 3 cells on each side separated by iron bars, and at the end, there was another cell.

In the cells on the left and right, it seemed there were people imprisoned here and there, but what caught our eyes first was the scene in the cell at the very end.

Eslyn-san was chained to the back stone wall of the cell.

Her hands, raised as if in a salute, were suspended from above by chains.

The one shamelessly running his hands over Esrin-san’s body was Goldo, the master of this mansion, who was clad in extravagant clothing and accessories and had a corpulent figure.

Moreover, another important figure was present. A burly man with a bearded face, wearing chainmail and carrying a large sword. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

He was the leader of the kidnappers who had abducted an elf some time ago, the boss.

His subordinates were nowhere to be seen.

The boss leaned against the iron bars outside Eslyn-san’s cell, yawning with boredom, seemingly unaware of our presence.

A door serving as the entrance was in one corner of the iron bars, and it was currently open.

“Hahaha, Eslyn, you’re making such delightful sounds. Look, my hands are about to touch your precious spot.”

“St-stop…! G-Goldo-san, do you think you’ll get away with this!?”

“I will get away with it. With my power, controlling a little girl like you is an easy task. It’s your foolishness for not realizing that.”

In a matter of moments, Goldo’s brutality escalated.

At that moment, a notification sound chimed in my mind, and a message board appeared in my field of view, but it didn’t matter now.

“Daichi-kun.”

“I understand. I’ll deal with the boss. Kazane-san, focus on rescuing Eslyn-san.”

“Roger. We won’t let him get away with this.”

After whispering to each other, Kazane-san and I dashed out of the hiding spot.
