Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 677: Training in the Demon Continent

In the entrance of what looked like a large cave system, groups dressed in silver armor adorned with red, ochre, and yellow-green designs, as well as a group wearing blue armor of a different design stood in formation.

Of course, it was the four founding knight orders of the Sanctuary.

The location was a dungeon in the Demon Continent.

The dungeon was moderately difficult, but its internal structure wasn’t complicated and rather spacious. Moreover, the traps were simple and there were no fatal ones, so it was the perfect place to bring the Sanctuary knights.

They had been working hard to level up and improve their skills against Treants in the outskirts of the Forest of Death. but from here on, I plan to gradually increase their levels.

Their equipment, both weapons and armor, had officially been replaced by their respective knight orders.

The Sanctuary Knights’ members were provided magic bags, though they were rentals.

Although it only have the space of a three square meter shed, they were able to store their weapon switching, food, and water.

The difference between being able to or not being able to switch weapons drastically changes their tactics.

As I observed the knights in formation deeply moved, Sophia approached.「Takumi-sama, preparations are complete.」

「Takumi, we’re ready here too.」

「Roger.」

After that, I was approached by the nearly two meter tall, well-built, rather short blonde-haired veteran adventurer party leader of 『Lion’s Fang』, Heath-san.

This time, as it was a dungeon attack, we were short on escorting roles and had to ask him on short notice.

This time, Dante-san was also going to join the power-leveling, so we were lacking on leadership roles.

With the diligent Heath-san and Bogah-san, I could entrust group members to them without worry. The usually non-serious Lyle-san had a different air about him when it came to battles, so it should be fine too.

The reason Dante-san was leveling was because, despite having the skills and the experience in fights, he rarely ever had the chance to raise his levels in dungeons or the Savage Land.

「Your safety is the number one priority.」

「「「Yes!」」」

「Let’s go then. Takumi-sama, please be careful as well.」

「Ahh, Sophia, you take care too.」

「「We’re off, Takumi-sama.」」

「Marnie and Maria, don’t get injured either, you hear?」

Leaving our children under the care of the maids and Freesia-san, our full party was participating.

Since our numbers weren’t enough, we asked Heath-san and his team for assistance, and we requested additional help as well.

「Takumi-samaaa! Our preparations are all A-OK too!」

「Ah, be careful out there.」

The one with the boisterous voice was the Aligerous Tribe’s Berkut.

She was the strongest among the Aligerous Tribe, and she also had the taiwanese nina t I gave her, so she apparently held the record for most monster kills in the Demon Continent base.

Well, Berkut regularly joined us in dungeons, and and she would be able to cooperate with her fellow comrades without worry.

「Now then, shall we head off too?」

「「「「「Yes！」」」」」

I brought the five with me and we went into the dungeon.,

Even with Heath-san’s party and Berkut as helpers, it was still impossible to take everyone into the dungeon at once, so half of knights had set up tents near the dungeon entrance as a temporary base.

Here, the Aligerous Tribe’s Chief Valkan and several of their tribes’ warriors who regularly hunt monsters by the Demon Continent base were brought in to be guides and back up in case monsters appeared.

I questioned if it was alright for the tribe head to be here, but the answer I got was “I’ve been so bored recently. I leapt at the chance to come with Berkut.” and he was actually excited.

Apparently, the monsters inhabiting the Sky Island were now nothing more than small fries to the current Valkan and tribe, and with Valzak-san also around for chiefly duties, he had a lot of time to spare.

Valkan-san and the Aligerous Tribe’s warriors were asked to set up the temporary base and to subjugate the surrounding monsters close to the dungeon.

There were many dungeons in the Demon Continent. Having a lot of dungeons meant that there were monster nests that they could spawn in, so that also meant that there were plenty of monster nests.

Since monster nests without dungeons were far more common, it was evident that there were vast quantities of monster nests in the Demon Continent.

Naturally, this dungeon also existed within a monster nest, so the teams setting up the temporary base near the entrance also needed to exterminate the surrounding monsters.

As such, the Aligerous Tribe who regularly hunted in the Demon Continent were the perfect people for the job.

Now then, we need to train everyone until they’re able to go into high difficulty dungeons.
