A Highest Rank in Another World!

"Hey, Menjo." Casri got close enough for me to feel his breath, he really seemed to want no one around us to hear: "Aren't you feeling something strange? I think we'd better go back now."

What?

"I'm not feeling, what is it?" I was walking normally down the hall, but I couldn't feel anything wrong, maybe I missed something? No, I'm pretty sure there was nothing here.

"Aren't you feeling the environment getting warmer? The more we advance, the more heat it starts to do."

"Now that you say…" A few meters ago I was already feeling the weather a little warm, but now the heat is gradually increasing. Maybe there's something hot like lava or fire down the hall?

"Don't you think it's too weird? The mood was normal and it started to change all of a sudden."

"It's a little weird, but couldn't it be just lava or something? We're in a cave, it's not that rare to find something like that." I've heard some cases of huge lava pits inside caves and dungeons.

"Well, it could be... But I still feel like we should go back."

"You are worrying too much." Casri looked really nervous about the situation. Well, I know the reason he's feeling that way, as we still don't know exactly what it's about.

"Hey, isn't it too hot in here?"

"Yes, I feel like I'm in an oven."

"You're exaggerating, but it's really hot."

After a few meters, all the adventurers started to complain. Quickly our water began to run out as all the adventurers were drinking enough to cool off.

If we stayed here any longer we would run out of water and that is a big problem. We could make water with magic, but it's not very suitable for drinking, it would only make things worse.

"Listen, guys, it's very hot and I don't think we should continue." I had given up on going on, the heat that was already here was like we were close enough to a fireplace to burn.

And we still don't see the end of the corridor, if we keep going we'll end up dying.

'And also, Leofald said to come back if we had too much trouble.'

"Yes, I agree. I can't stand being here in this place anymore, I feel like my skin will start to melt at any moment." Casri was exaggerating a bit.

"I also think we should go back, then we'll come back here a little more prepared, it's impossible to move on." Theod was sweating as he used wind magic to try to cool off a bit.

Everyone who could use wind and water magic was using magic to cool off.

"Okay, so let's go back and let Leofald know we can't continue, he'll understand."

Right~~

Alright~~

Let's go fast~~

All the adventurers started to agree with me and turned to leave. So we started walking in the opposite direction. But I started to notice that there was something weird going on.

"Stop, look up." There were some adventurers ahead of me, they were quickly walking so they could get out of here rapidly.

"Hm?" The group of three C-RANK adventurers stopped walking and looked back.

"Look up?" With no time to react, the three men were swallowed by a large amount of lava that suddenly fell from the cave's ceiling.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~

IT HURTS~~

AAAAHHH~~

The three men screamed and struggled as they were burned alive by the lava. Seconds later their bodies had already been burned enough for their bones to be exposed.

Most of their bodies had been melted by the lava.

Some adventurers desperately started using water magic to extinguish the fire that remained in their bodies, but after the fire was extinguished, the three men no longer moved or made a sound.

The three were already dead.

I couldn't do anything.

I just watched those three men burn alive in front of me, maybe it's one of the most agonizing scenes I've ever seen in my entire life.

"Shit, what happened? Where did this lava come from?" Theod screamed in despair.

"I don't know, but it keeps falling." The lava was falling infinitely from the ceiling, it was like there was a huge lava pit on top of us and a hole had been opened under it right here.

The lava was starting to take over the corridor, forcing us to go back in the same direction we were going before.

As the lava came towards us, it again swallowed the bodies of the three men and came towards us quickly. We can't do anything but run back into the extreme heat.

All adventurers were desperate for what was happening. Many were confused by what was really going on.

I used water magic, but it was of no use. I can't do anything to help you now.

"It looks like we're almost at the end, there's a light there." It had been some time we were walking, Edarlas and Ardlac were walking beside me and the other adventurers were behind.

The atmosphere looked like before, nothing had changed and there didn't seem to be a trap or anything wrong going on here. After walking for a few more minutes, we finally arrived in a room.

At the end of the hallway was something I would never have imagined seeing underground. Is this even possible? Do plants not need to be exposed to the sun to be born?

"Wow, are we underground?" Edarlas said as he placed his hand on one of the trees, yes, trees. Underground was a huge room that looks more like a forest.

There was grass all over the ground, trees, and flowers of all kinds.

"Hey, isn't that insane? How is this possible?" I said as I approached Edarlas to make sure that tree was really real.

"I don't know, but look, there are even birds." Looking up I even noticed some birds flying among the trees, it was like I was in that forest outside the cave, I would never imagine that there was such a place here.

All adventurers were surprised and could not believe what they were seeing in front of them.

"What do you think this is? Maybe some kind of magic made this happen? Or maybe it was something created by the dungeon itself?"

"The dungeon probably created this, but I've never seen anything like it." It was normal for dungeons to create completely strange structures underground, but this was the strangest one I had ever seen.

Just like that structure that looked like a castle.

"Maybe there's something hidden around here? But isn't this place too big? There might also be some monster hiding here, be careful." I said as I walked away from the trees.

Seeing that I walked away from the trees, the other adventurers did the same.

"What do you want to do now? Want to go back and talk to Leofald about it? Or maybe you want to look around a bit? We can find a lot of things around here." The place was huge, perhaps equaling the size of a small town.

Also, the place was lit up like there was a sun in here, but I couldn't see where exactly the light was coming from.

And for a structure that big to be underground, the more I think about it, the more insane it all becomes.

"I think we can look around a little bit, but I want everyone to stay together, not split up or go far away. We don't know exactly what's here." I gave the order and all the adventurers agreed.

After that, we entered the forest, and when we walked just a few minutes inside that place, I started to notice that something was wrong.

"GET DOWN!" With my sudden scream, all the adventurers were startled and got down. The next moment a rope that looked like it was made of grass passed over our heads.

I have no idea where this came from.

"Is everyone okay?" I looked back to look at all the adventurers behind us.

Wherever the rope had gone, everything had been cut. Even the nearby trees collapsed, the rope cut through the trees as if they were nothing, I wonder what would have happened if it had hit us.

A rope that looks like a sharp blade, that's scary.

"Looks like one of us was hit." At the speech of one of the adventurers at the back of the group, I kept low and walked over.

One of the adventurers had been hit directly by the rope, his body had been easily split in half. It was disgusting and I couldn't stare at that scene.

"Looks like we're in a lot of danger here." As I said this, I began to notice a lot of people looking at us from all sides, especially from above the trees among the leaves.

As we hadn't walked very long, we went back to the entrance to this place, but when we got there the entrance was blocked by plants.

As much as we tried to cut or use magic, we couldn't get those plants out, we were trapped here, so we couldn't do anything but move on through the forest.

I don't think we should have "invaded" this place.
