Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Chapter 76: Two... Heroes


"T-Two Heroes!"

Exclamations of surprise continued to echo around.

Even though it wasn't a familiar language, I could completely understand it without any barriers, it was truly miraculous.

Tanaka discreetly scanned his surroundings.

A spacious basement illuminated by oil lamps.

Several glowing circles were drawn on the floor with some unknown paint.

A group of robed figures knelt around, chanting incessantly.

I wasn't some relic disconnected from society.

I knew about the trope of being transported to another world.

But to summon someone along with a toilet while they're in the middle of using it, without even providing paper, how reasonable is that?

Or maybe I should be grateful they summoned me along with the toilet, otherwise, I'd have to assume a sumo stance...

Beside me was a tall blonde woman.

Judging by the shorts and stockings, she must have been summoned alongside me.

But what is the meaning of the bloody short dagger in her hand?

No... this isn't the time to be thinking about other people, I should be thinking about how to naturally pull up my pants.

Having crossed into another world, shouldn't I be granted some kind of superpower?

Like invisibility or something...

As he thought this, a panel belonging to him appeared in his sight.

[Name: Tanaka Hideyuki]

[Race: Human]

[Level: LV1]

[Blood Volume: 90/90]

[Power: 4]

[Agility: 3]

[Constitution: 4]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Spirit: 4]

[Racial Talent: Experience gain increased by 20%]

[Skills: Poison Resistance LV3, Spiritual Resistance LV4]

[Title: Hero (No racial level limit, can randomly draw a special title or skill, usable)]

Hero, huh...

Tanaka's focus shifted to the word "usable."

[Hero title effect used]

[Skill obtained: ...]

Three minutes after crossing into the Otherworld, looking at the newly acquired skill, a hint of vitality returned to Tanaka's eyes.

...

The priest's forehead banged heavily on the stone slab, the silver-edged hood slipping askew due to excitement, sobbing: "Ikezion... Ikezion thank you!"

Two heroes appearing in the same era is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence!

This is proof that the Lord of Light loves humanity deeply, and he is fortunate enough to be a part of it!

The priests around may not know as much as the priest, but they understood that with one more hero, the hope of victory for humanity increased.

They whispered prayers devoutly or whispered to each other in excitement.

For a moment, the two heroes were left standing there.

The blonde beauty's expression changed several times, finally taking a step forward, opening her mouth...

"Everyone, can you look at me?"

Someone spoke up first, it was the nearby exhibitionist who still hadn't pulled up his pants.

Tanaka naturally spoke the Human Universal Language of the Otherworld, as if it was innate.

He raised one finger, looking around, seeing that everyone was focused on him.

Good!

Click—

In a flash, everyone froze in place.

Seeing this, Tanaka calmly pulled up his pants and put the toilet lid down.

He walked past the kneeling priests and left the basement.

Along the way, he grabbed a stack of grass paper of unknown material.

Not long after he left, everyone came to their senses all at once.

The priest looked at the figure successfully summoned in the array, tears of joy streamed down.

"Success... Success! We've successfully summoned the Hero! Bishop, I've not failed your trust..."

Then he began to quietly praise the Lord of Light, for sending a Hero symbolizing hope in humanity's time of peril.

Meanwhile, the blonde woman in the summoning array frowned and observed her surroundings.

When her gaze swept over the white ceramic toilet next to her, she couldn't help but take another curious look at it.

-----------------

Fifth level of the Purple Crystal Dungeon.

Oh oh oh oh oh!

This power!

Vast amounts of magic power surged from within the knight, so much that the knight couldn't contain it all, causing it to spill out from all over his body.

From a Magic Perception perspective, it would look just like a Saiyan powering up!

Oh no, oh no!

Feels like it's going to explode!

Quickly attaching the knight to the Fungal Mat, letting the excess magic power disperse through the Fungal Network.

Only then did the knight "cool down."

Lin Jun was now excited but slightly apprehensive.

I was a bit careless, didn't expect it to work so well, next time I shouldn't run the experiment in the same space as my main body.

The ruler of the fifth level of the Dungeon dying from experimental self-destruction would be too embarrassing.

The magic power currently emanating from the knight all came from the result of the light emitted by the Sunstone (damaged) being converted into magic power through Photosynthesis.

Lin Jun even felt that the amount of this magic power might be even greater than just sunbathing directly on the surface.

After all, none of the plants on the surface could produce this much magic power.

As expected of a Divine Artifact!

Even if it's still incomplete.

This Sunstone has been gathering dust in my hands for so long, it finally found its place.

However, a new problem has arisen for Lin Jun to worry about.

Photosynthesis is a Passive Skill.

And the magic power provided by the Sunstone seems a bit excessively abundant.

The knight either just like now, joins with the Fungal Network to disperse the excess magic power.

Or has to constantly use various skills to consume magic power, or else wait to explode like an overloaded Demon Crystal.

This power might exceed even the Self-Destruction skill!

Other people's mechs are, running out of battery after a while once they're out and about.

This knight, would face the risk of being burst by his own magic power not long after going out...

It feels like, the equipment is so good, but I'm not worthy of it.

Fortunately, Lin Jun doesn't currently need the knight to go all out.

Just functioning as a magic machine for now, it's fine.

...

Meanwhile, on the surface.

"Boss, is this situation normal?"

Before the scout, Dylan canceled Mimicry, revealing a green skin mixed with mycelium and flesh.

Although I already knew I wasn't quite human anymore.

The white mycelium was barely acceptable.

Now thanks to the boss slapping this Photosynthesis on me, it makes me look like a large goblin.

Dylan couldn't accept it for a moment.

The scout approached, patting the dejected Dylan with a tentacle.

"Dylan, this is the price of power!

How can you stand on top by hesitating like this over gains and losses?"

"B-Boss, I never thought of standing on any..."

"Foolish!"

Lin Jun directly interrupted Dylan.

"How will you protect your daughter without getting stronger?

Just turning green, that's nothing!

If it's for your daughter, even if it meant adding three more arms and four more legs, would you oppose it?"

Dylan lay on the ground.

Yes!

It's all for my daughter!

Just a bit of color change, after Mimicry, it all looks the same anyway.

"Boss, I've figured it out, you're right! For my daughter!"

Lin Jun saw that test subject number one was finally persuaded, guiding the satisfied scout to nod its mushroom cap.

...

...

...

"Boss... was that about... adding arms and legs just a metaphor, right?"
