Chapter 31

Before we can continue our chat we receive an report of an attack to the wall, so I proceed to help them defend the wall, and I quickly ended the position of commander, since really no one present is very good with defense, Peter is an explorer, Po a compulsive gambler who would try to win by luck, Friendrich has experience but he is more specialized in attacks and he has some political reasons for not wanting to do it, so they gave me the defense to me, because I am more 'specialized', Skia doesn't look like she has commanded an army in her life and probably want to avoid attracting attention as much as possible...

The defense itself is simple, not to mention that this time I have a large number of soldiers and supplies, I was even finally able to test the Yggdrasil Leaf on some soldiers who died, surprising many in the process, it's good that the experiment worked so I distributed some among the others to use when necessary, now it only remains to know how long it can take after the death of the person so that it continues to be effective, how much damage does the body have...

After a day I concluded many experiments, some I will need to find out more, but the least I concluded that it does not really affect the state in which the body is found too much, since we found a completely charred body and without limbs, in the end it turned out to be a Goblin but the fact that we were able to revive it is noteworthy,

In a matter of time we found some who died 4 days ago when the attack began and even so they were able to revive as well. I don't think this information will help me in the world of DxD with the divine system that God created for that world, so I have to use the Yggdrasil Leafs or my skills almost immediately after the person dies....

Anyway, I noted that the number of invaders was not really diminishing, So I proceeded to take serious action on the matter and began to investigate where they came from, According to the reports, the first attacks came from the north, so at dusk I went out to explore the northern part, at the mountains to my surprise I found some caves to the northeast from where the Kobolds and Goblins are coming out.

So I start a magic attack to cause chaos among the enemies, I try to use my magic without alerting anyone in the fortress, collapsing the tunnels to stop the invasion. The only bad thing is that I killed the Kobold and Goblin leaders really early, in my second attack so I couldn't receive much extra experience, even so I managed to level up the new profession, Sura, just how many bastards was there to level up 200 levels in a couple of hours without bonus Exp?

But something strange happened. To tell the truth it was when I changed my profession at first, since I could literally feel how my soul changed, how I could know that my soul changed? No idea, I only feel that way and it seems that I had become something else, the closest thing that I can use to understand what happened is like I have become a drawn sword, I feel like my body only exists for destruction, an emotion that can be quite extreme for someone 'normal' tentatively speaking, since people who can change to their 3th jobs aren't quite 'normal' in the first place.

The only bad thing is that I couldn't really stop trying to understand what was happening to me and the more I continued fighting the more I wanted to destroy everything around me, luckily my body didn't change much I think, even so it's disturbing to see how [Gamer's Mind] is constantly active, and I have this strange desire to fight using only my hands and feet.

Danmv, even when I used the Berserk skill, I didn't feel that much rage, hatred and desire for destruction, although once I started using some skills I was able to control a bit what happened, still it's disconcerting to lose my self-control so easily. This will be a serious problem if I can't control it...

Anyway at the moment I proceed to close the tunnels in the mountains, thus avoiding the arrival of more enemies, at dawn I started a counteroffensive, something that none of those present approved but having full control of the area and and showing the results that I did have yesterday, they don't have anything to say. Although in the end they were surprised to see the ease with which I recovered the fortress, with so little losses and in just a few hours.

At the end and due to the attack, Peter was going to stay in Pharos for a while to help his cousin, promising to meet again in Prontera later, so we parted ways for now. I informed them of my findings in the mountains to the north, although I passed it off as tunnels made by ants, something that some officers of the fort supported since there is an entrance to the ant hell in the area.

I left that night, only telling Peter and Friendrich about my departure, I didn't want to wait too long since the blonde princess, the real one this time named Spica Neirus, clearly wanted to come with me, so I quickly applied the classic Joestar technique and disappeared into the mountains, preparing to explore the tunnels. What am I escaping? No, since I do not have any promise, duty or responsibility with her so I do not have to fulfill anything

On the other hand, it seems very strange to me that no one discovered those tunnels until now and even more when they were clearly built by someone since some had carved stone pillars supporting them, Not only that, I even thought I saw a mural in one of them I hope I didn't damage it when I collapsed some of them... Some even have arches adorning the entrances, stone and marble paths... it is not possible that nobody has discovered them until now.

These tunnels are incredible, they are still full of Kobols and Goblins, but from what I see they connect Geffen and Morroc through a labyrinth of tunnels in the mountains. Could this be an underground city of the dwarves? Clearly someone was using it as I have found some rooms, dining rooms and halls, I have yet to find their government centers and temples but so far it has been an incredible journey.

From here I spent almost a full week until I reached the west of Geffen, specifically the Kordt Forest, so I decided to go back to the girls and continue exploring after a few days with many things that I discovered in the tunnels, I found some historical pieces, worn but readable books, weapons and pottery, I also tried to copy some murals....

'Wait a second... we did a massive attack against the Kobols... then a zombie orc apocalypse to the south, if I remember correctly the goblins are near the orc village...' little by little I start to think about the reasons why until now the Kobolds and the Goblins decided to use the tunnels, it is not natural they have existed for a long time in the area, why until now they used them.

'No, everything is a coincidence, everything indicates that I had nothing to do with this. If nobody finds out, nobody blames me...' While I go into denial for something that I clearly caused... I just have to fix it.

"I guess we have to redouble our efforts to the south, it will be a real problem if the zombies manage to reach Prontera." I keep walking towards the castle while I make a mental note to prevent situations like this from happening again, due to my irresponsibility a tragedy could have occurred, a tragedy that can and will be blamed on me.

Upon arriving at the castle I am immediately greeted by several of the girls, when I explain what I was doing some of them show interest in the subject, especially the mature loking Iksasna and the blonde seductrix Berit. Well I know who I will spend the next few days with, although I will ask everyone to find out if there are more people who want to help us or are interested in this, I am still trying to know them all so it will be a good activity....

To tell the truth, I am still surprised to be able to get to know more and more girls, Berit, as I thought, tries to seduce me, leaning on the table more than she should, sticking her body with me, showing me her chest, getting to the point of undressing when her clothes got dirty, I still don't fully understand her goal, but she's practically a manipulative exhibitionist.

Iksasna, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, and taking into account the color of her hair and her body, she would be a adult copy of Rias Gremory's, although with her emerald green eyes and her much more defined face, not to mention her ears that are pointed, besides her that unlike the demon Ikasana has a true aura of wisdom and tranquility, She is also extremely patient and seems to be almost expressionless, unless she is talking about something that interests her, as if she is, she can spend hours talking non-stop and not really get bored by the way she says it.

And apparently she is almost completely unaware of her figure, thinking of herself as flat since she doesn't possess the attributes that she thinks are necessary to be beautiful, which are I have no idea since she doesn't want to talk about it, in my humble opinion she from 1 to 100 she easily gets a 95, something else to mention is that it seems to have no common sense, since Berit easily convinced her to work naked as it was more comfortable that way.

In addition to the two of them who were practically my research specialists, Nambra, the Marian, Olivis and Victoria helped me explore some tunnels, Nambra seems to be the typical Onee-san, however I can clearly see that she hides some secret or doesn't feel totally comfortable with me, she is somewhat stiff sometimes and every time I try to talk to her, she avoids the subject, or rather, she avoids me. Reasons are not lacking but I should not jump to conclusions

Marian who likes to wear a ponytail with her dark brown hair, is completely embarrassed to be with me, looking like a small animal in front of a predator, covering herself or embarrassing herself on several occasions, she cover herself without knowing that on several occasions she ends up in worse positions and unconsciously showing her body. In the end I managed to establish a friendship with her based on head pats, and trying to increase her self-esteem.

The purple haired Olivis surprised me a bit with her somewhat childish personality, although that makes her very cheerful and fun, and unlike Akhene, she really likes me to caress her cat ears, not to mention that she doesn't wear underwear, perhaps it has something to do with demi human races? And noticing that I was seeing her, she simply decided to show me, yes I don't quite understand the demi-human races.

The blond Victoria for her part is a tomboy with no sense of personal space or shame, although it should not be confused, she is not an exhibitionist like the other girls, she just doesn't like the clothes she wears and prefers to keep them tight, to the point of wearing 1 or 2 sizes smaller, getting to the point that on occasions where it tears and she is left naked, I solve it easily by giving her Lycra, elastane, spandex and neoprene clothes, for a few moments consider latex but better not.

In the end, I spent almost a month exploring the mysterious and fascinating underground world, being able to go directly to Audhumbla Grassland of Ræl, the capital city of Arunafeltz in the far north, I practically managed to cross the continent using the tunnels and I was just heading north, there are still many tunnels to other places, which will take me many more months to explore.

Although after so many explorations being on several occasions in almost total darkness, only resting some days with the rest of the girls. In addition to the fact that in order to see in the dark I changed my job to Guillotine Cross, to think that with it I would have almost perfect night vision and thanks to this I could be a little more comfortable in the complete darkness in which I found myself lately.

We managed to discover that the tunnels seem to be elven although we are not entirely sure, so I decided that it was time to return to Niflheim again to visit my witches. Kirkena can probably tell me more about why those underground tunnels were built, apparently connecting the entire continent.

It also time for me to return to Prontera, so I want to know their opinion on the matter too. so I prepare to go to Umbala and from there travel to Niflheim, but before I go I remember what happened to me before and I decide to see if it works

'I don't think it would work... It really works!' Using [Teleport] I managed to go to Niflheim easily, so the magic here also works with imagination...? I'm going to enjoy every second destroying the laws of magic here, now something different in Niflheim to my previous visit is a huge full moon that lights up the sky and apparently the city is celebrating something since it is decorated as if it were Halloween with many 'people' in the streets drinking and talking, so I proceed to go to Kirkena's house to find out what is happening and if they would like to accompany me.
