These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 63: Half fish?

Walking down this corridor for a bit, it didn’t take long for me to encounter a monster.

It was just a single monster that seemed to be wandering around the corridors of the dungeon, but this wasn’t a monster to be looked down on.

Since this was a D Rank Dungeon, this meant that the ones that were wandering around were at least D Rank.

And this one was one that had a strange appearance.

It looked like a human when it was walking around on two feet like this, but looking closely, one could tell from its appearance that it wasn’t human. There was half of this monster that was half fish.

This was a Sahuagin.

Since this was an underwater dungeon, it was only expected that there would be aquatic monsters like this Sahuagin.

Once we approached each other, the Sahuagin didn’t waste any time in charging at me.

However, it froze when it was halfway to me.

That was because there was the Echo Bat that was on my shoulder with its mouth open.

As soon as I moved away from the entrance of the dungeon, I had already called out the Echo Bat.

After freezing, the Sahuagin had a look of confusion and fear on its face, as if it couldn’t understand what was happening. However, it did realize that it was in a very bad situation since it was just standing there doing nothing in front of an enemy.

There was some trembling that came from the Sahuagin as if it was trying to break free of whatever was holding it in place, but it just wasn’t able to do anything.

This Sahuagin was a D Rank Monster that was on the same level as the Elite Monsters from the last dungeon, but the Echo Bat was still able to freeze it completely with its hypnosis.

The first part of this was because this Sahuagin was just a normal monster, so it wasn’t buffed by the dungeon like Elite Monsters were.

The second part of this was because the Echo Bat had become much stronger than before.

Since we had already cleared out an E Rank Dungeon, the Echo Bat had gained quite a few levels and was much stronger than before.

The increase in its intelligence had raised its mental will, which made it easier for it to impose its hypnosis on stronger monsters.

Which included this Sahuagin.

I didn’t finish off this Sahuagin right away since I was waiting to see if there were any other Sahuagins that would come and help this one, but it seemed like it was just on patrol alone.

Since that was the case…

I took out the dagger from the Slime King and slit the throat of the Sahuagin in one swift motion.

This dagger from the Slime King had really been useful. The sharpness that it possessed was something else, it was able to cut through most monsters that I face with ease.

Once the Sahuagin fell, I called out the Scavenger Rabbit to start digging as per usual.

Since this was a D Rank Monster, I couldn’t help feeling a bit excited about the loot that it would drop.

But in the end, I was a bit disappointed.

I had the expectation that it would drop the same items as the Elite Monsters that were at the same rank, but there was a reason why those were Elite Monsters and this Sahuagin was just a regular monster.

Even if it was the Scavenger Rabbit using its skill on it, all the Sahuagin dropped were normal loots like Slimy Fluid, Sahuagin Skin, and such.

The only special piece of loot was…an iron trident.

This was the weapon that the Sahuagin had been using, but it wasn’t that special either. It was just a weapon that was much stronger and sharper than a normal iron trident.

Even if I was a bit disappointed in these drops, I understood that this was what the limits of a normal monster were.

So instead of thinking too much about this, I continued down the passage to find even more monsters.

But there was something strange about them that I couldn’t help thinking about.

From the loot that they dropped, I was able to tell what kind of monsters they were.

At first, I thought that there would only be Sahuagins in this dungeon, but that wasn’t the case.

The first monster that I encountered was a Sahuagin, but the next one was a Fishman as the name of the dungeon suggested. The third one I encountered was a Merman, but this one was clearly different since there was a distinct separation between the top and bottom halves of the Merman unlike the Fishman and the Sahuagin.

Both the Fishman and the Sahuagin were a hybrid of fish and man which made them seem too similar to tell apart.

In short, it was strange how all of them were half fish, but they were called many different names.

Why was there a need to give them different names like this?

But it didn’t seem like the dungeon system cared as it gave them all different names like this.

I really felt that it was strange and couldn’t help being stuck on this for a while, but the fact that I could get stuck on this was a good thing.

After all, it meant that the monsters that were in this dungeon were just too weak for me to struggle against.

I easily breezed my way through the dungeon until I noticed that something was different.

It wasn’t that the monsters had changed, it was just that there seemed to be more of them.

At the same time, the walls around me seemed to have changed as well.

It seemed that the walls were made of some different kind of material, as well as being designed in a different manner.

As if there was something special about this place.
