NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89: What 'Ras' Really Means
[Sub-Dungeon-Andras: A dungeon where the Andras go ras-ras.]
[Daily Entry Limit: 0/3]
'How long is this damn ras going to keep appearing?'
I'd heard it so much I was sick of it. As soon as I entered the dungeon, I carefully observed one Andras that greeted me.
The dungeon's shape seemed like a straight line, but it was cleverly rotating to the left. The dungeon seemed like a miniaturized version of [Andras's Dungeon] that I'd personally conquered.
'Then there'll be a place to escape via shortcut later.'
To check that shortcut, I first had to clear the sub-dungeon. I clenched my fist and carefully approached the Andras.
"Ras-ras."
The Andras scanned the surroundings with a blank face, then saw me, widened its eyes, and raised its hand high.
"Ras!!"
"Ah, can't you talk?"
The Andras's behavior, rushing at me more ghoul-like than ghouls, was clearly like a crazed monster. Just like when it died bashing its head against the iron door, the Andras showed something like madness.
"Well, I did catch and kill every single one."
I brushed off my hands and put up my guard. The Andras rushed at me without any hesitation.
"Ggieeeek!!"
The Andras swung its claws at me with bloodshot eyes. The claws that crossed in an X-shape from above definitely looked sharp.
"Hup!"
There was no need to get hit on purpose. I quickly stepped back one step and easily dodged the Andras's claw attack.
Looking closely, it was a male with its lower half dangling. I immediately raised my fist and struck down toward the Andras's head.
"Shut your beak!"
"Ggiek!"
My fist struck the Andras's crown. The Andras rolled its eyes and trembled, then soon collapsed on the floor with a thud.
One down. The tiny feather wings on its back fluttered then stopped moving. I confirmed the Andras was dead and plucked feathers from the wings.
The feathers weren't a huge amount, but collecting them one by one would gather enough.
"Good thing I'm not summoning harpies and plucking their wings. But is there no magic stone?"
I searched the Andras's body here and there. I wondered if I'd have to dig out the heart, but fortunately, that worry was unnecessary.
"Damn it."
A magic stone was glittering on the Andras's crown. The problem was it was magic stone fragments, and it seemed I'd split it in half with my punch.
"What a waste. Looks like a low-grade one."
Without baby Andras, I probably couldn't get even lowest-grade ones. I pushed the Andras's corpse aside, then moved forward again.
"Ras-ras."
This time, a female Andras was bouncing her chest and bashing her head against the wall. She had wings, but her behavior was clearly abnormal.
"Ras? Ras-ras!"
The Andras rushed at me. Similarly raising her hands high and setting her claws. I grabbed the birdbrain from the side and slammed her into the wall to avoid breaking the magic stone after dodging the claw attack.
Crack!
With the sound of something breaking, the Andras's arms drooped to the floor. Fortunately, the magic stone was safe this time. I pocketed the magic stone and plucked the feathers again.
"This is work too, you know."
It was annoying, so I should just bring subordinates later to do the work. After finishing plucking the second Andras's feathers and stuffing them in my pocket, I lifted the Andras's body.
"Hmm..."
As expected, touching a female body was better than a male's. I lightly touched the Andras's chest with my finger.
[Andras: ★★. Lv.20.]
'Level 20 is just right.'
After catching big slimes, coming to catch Andras at the right time would be appropriate leveling. I got up and continued walking forward.
"Ras!"
"Ras-ras!"
"Shut up-ras!"
I kept moving forward, smashing the heads of Andras blocking the way. They all showed abnormal behavior before seeing me, going crazy and rushing at me in a pattern, and I easily collected magic stones. Unlike slimes, I could secure magic stones from Andras 100% of the time.
'But there's no way there are 600 of these.'
I was certain as I caught them one by one. The dungeon structure was definitely a miniaturized version of the original dungeon. And I beat down one by one the Andras showing abnormal behavior throughout that small dungeon.
"Die-ras!"
One Andras died. He left me one feather and collapsed, planting his magic stick into the ground.
"Shut your beak-ras!"
One Andras died. She left me her level of 24 and feathers before her neck twisted 180 degrees.
"Kiss!!!"
Two Andras died. I simultaneously grabbed the backs of two male Andras's heads and smashed one's face into the other's so their beaks would meet.
The two Andras died just like that.
The next Andras that appeared was the same, and I ran through the dungeon to quickly escape this damn ras-hell.
"Ra-"
"-s"
"Aaaargh!!"
Thud, thud thud thud.
I ran forward kicking Andras. The Andras were positioned one by one at regular intervals, and I finally reached the end of the dungeon after barely catching about 20.
"Ras-ras!"
Five Andras each struck a pose and blocked my way. These Andras seemed relatively sane compared to the others.
"Ras!"
We couldn't communicate, but we understood each other's intentions. I planned to rob the Andras of their magic stones, and the Andras planned to rob me, the invader, of my life.
The Andras clearly had killing intent to kill me. So did I.
"Where do you get off standing with those disgusting things fully erect, you crazy bastards!!"
"Ras-ras-ras!"
The Andras were insane. These guys seemed full of determination to ram their second beaks into the invader. My killing intent naturally surged.
"Ras!"
The bastards scattered left and right. I felt an inexplicable chill from the guys trying to take position behind me. These damn bastards were definitely trying to pull a feint to breach my back dungeon.
"You birdbrained bastards!! Just try coming! I'll blow your heads off, magic stones and all!"
I threw my fists at the Andras and threatened them. The five Andras exchanged glances while watching each other.
And at that moment when chills ran down my spine.
Ggieeeek!!
The Andras simultaneously raised their arms high and rushed at me. Because they ran with their legs spread left and right like frilled lizards, the Andras's third legs swung widely left and right.
"Fuck, seriously."
Even if it were female bodies, naked birdbrains swaying left and right approaching was definitely horror, but with five male Andras it was a sight that caused disgust beyond horror. I decided to pour out my unbearable anger on the Andras.
Dangle dangle.
Even seeing five sticks swaying left and right, I couldn't close my eyes or look away. This anger rising from my soul was righteous anger, and no one would say anything about it.
"You bastard!"
I dodged the claw attack of the first rushing Andras, then thrust my fist into its belly. The Andras bent over, and I grabbed the back of its neck and spun my body hard.
Ggeeeeek!!
I kicked the Andras I was holding by the neck toward the belly of another Andras rushing at me making even stranger sounds. The Andras stabbed that place of its fellow Andras while its beak was sharply set.
"Taheuheuk."
The Andras whose lower half was stabbed by the beak foamed at the mouth and trembled. The other Andras stopped in their tracks as if scared while rushing, but my attack didn't end.
"Heuaaah!"
I pulled out the Andras and grabbed its waist to throw it at another Andras. The Andras lowered its beak, but as a result, it headbutted another Andras's solar plexus hard with its crown.
"Keheuk."
The Andras hit in the solar plexus coughed blood and collapsed. At the same time, with a cracking sound, the Andras I'd thrown also collapsed on the floor with a thud.
"Ah shit, the magic stone."
The Andras seemed to have broken its magic stone from the impact just now. Only two Andras remained.
"Ggi, ggieek!!"
"Ras, ras!"
Two Andras simultaneously rushed at me from front and back. If they hadn't been fully erect, I would've beaten them down obediently, but showing their dicks to me wasn't enough—trying to stab with erect dicks could never be forgiven.
I timed it internally. The gap when both Andras tried to stab me simultaneously.
'Now!'
I jumped slightly forward through [Blood Flow Acceleration], and the two Andras simultaneously collided belly to belly.
"Heoeok."
"Aheuk."
The two Andras stabbed each other's beaks at each other. The upper beaks collided and deflected left and right, deeply stabbing the mouth area, and the lower beaks collided head-on and deflected from each other.
"Hiiiiik!"
"Hieek?!"
The two Andras screamed and fainted. I immediately ran toward the Andras falling to one side and quickly pulled out the magic stones.
"Huu, hu."
Two beasts remained. As if sensing their fate from their comrades' deaths, they squeezed their eyes shut then opened them—
"Running away-ras!"
They simultaneously turned and ran away in silly motions to the opposite side. I stuffed the magic stones in my pocket and chased after them. The Andras were unexpectedly fast at running, and by the time I increased my speed, they'd long since disappeared beyond the corner.
'I'll beat them down the moment they appear.'
Whether something was blocking ahead or there were traps, the Andras would die. I swung my fist ready to strike and turned the corner.
"...Birdbrains are birdbrains alright."
The two Andras had collapsed in front of an iron door. They must've run away looking only straight ahead and crashed full-body into it.
It was like some Looney Tunes shit where the coyote runs into a painted tunnel on the wall, but even so, dying without seeing this iron door right in front of them was pathetic
"Even the magic stones are broken. Damn bastards."
I pushed the two Andras aside. The Andras I'd met coming this far were exactly 25. Though I could only get 20 low-grade magic stones because they kept breaking in between, now I just had to see the sub-dungeon's true value.
Boss.
Two demi-human Andras.
I didn't know their level, but [Andras], who was the dungeon owner, wasn't level 70 either. Even if there were two, they wouldn't be that level.
Screech.
I opened the firmly closed iron door. And in front were one bed and two demi-human Andras hugging and kissing each other.
"...Hmm, at least they look better."
The two demi-human Andras were at least just winged humans in appearance. Though traces of birds remained in places on their bodies, they at least clearly had human appearances unlike regular Andras.
"And it's better that they're both female."
The demi-human Andras were naked while pressed against each other. Faces that seemed to resemble [Andras]. They wore their one-sided wings like capes, looked me up and down, then started sneering at me mockingly.
"What's with that belly? Does covering it with a robe hide it?"
"And what's with that tattoo? What a sight, really. Does he think that's cool?"
"Really unlikable. Right?"
"Yeah, really disgusting. You're the best after all."
The two Andras didn't care about me and kissed, biting and sucking each other. I wondered how to deal with these two arrogant Andras, then decided to find peace of mind.
'Good thoughts, good thoughts.'
There was still a lot of time left to raise the dungeon rank. Time to care about other subordinates' leveling while going through sub-dungeons. I shouldn't fall for such cheap provocations.
But what was curious was still curious. I asked what I was genuinely curious about to the Andras I could communicate with for once.
"Let me ask one thing. What's 'ras'? Is it just like your mom or something?"
"...Perverted pig."
"Look at that thing under the robe. He's thinking of doing something to us. Disgusting!"
I was a pervert, and thinking of doing something was correct, but I exercised patience and continued the conversation.
"So what is ras?"
"That's..."
"I'll tell him. There's no need to fall for this filthy pig's perverted tricks."
"But!"
"I'm already a defiled body. I can't defile you!"
One Andras showed resolute will and got up. And she said something shocking to me.
"'Ras' is, you know, slang. Slang."
"??"
"That, ahem. It means the act shared between people who love each other."
Shock.
They were a species that shouted S♥X at the end of every word.
