Episode 128 The Fourteenth Layer of the Suigetsu Dungeon

Episode 128 Suigetsu Dungeon 14th floor

I tried 'Pile Shot' under various conditions at the paid practice field and identified the defects. The trajectory seemed to deviate slightly to the right, but there was no problem if I adjusted my aim.

I registered the completed 'Pile Shot' in the Sage System as official Life Magic. I took out my pocket watch and checked the time, and it was past seven o'clock.

I left the practice field and returned to my apartment by bus. When I turned on the TV, there was a commercial for a real estate company.

"Right. Let's move to a better room."

The next day, I went to a real estate agent and looked for a room. From among the high-end rental apartments, I looked around for several properties and spacious rooms close to the Suigetsu Dungeon, and decided on an apartment that was a five-minute walk from the Suigetsu Dungeon.

After busy days with things like moving house, winter came.

I went to the Suigetsu Dungeon for the first time in a long time and started to explore the lake area on the 14th floor. When I came with the C-class adventurer Hougetsu, I went straight to the island with the stairs down to the 15th floor, so I didn't explore the other islands.

This time, I thought I would explore it slowly. I flew to the nearest island with the D-Particle Wing. If I flew about ten meters above the surface of the water, Mermen and BlackGators would not attack me. When I lowered the altitude to about 3 meters as a test, a BlackGator jumped out of the water and tried to bite my leg, so I flew upwards.

"That surprised me. I never thought a BlackGator could jump out of the water."

It wasn't like a dolphin's splendid jump, but it seemed to have enough power to jump half of its body above the surface of the water.

When I landed on the nearest island, I started exploring the island. Although the island was small, it had two hills and a rugged topography.

I noticed that there was a cave halfway up the hill on my left, and decided to investigate it because it piqued my interest. Because there were treasure chests in places like this.

I climbed the mountain and went to the front of the cave. The entrance was about two meters in diameter, and when I looked inside, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I took out the night vision goggles from my Magic Pouch and put them on, then I went inside.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

There was a room in the back of the cave. It was a domed space with a treasure chest in the middle. The treasure chest was open. Apparently, the previous visitor had taken away the treasure.

I checked inside the treasure chest, but it was empty. Disappointed, I left the cave and went down the mountain. Then, the BlackGators gathered on the lakeside and were waiting for me. One of them was suddenly behind me.

Surrounded by five BlackGators, I was in a pinch, but I thought it would be perfect for testing out 'Pile Shot'.

I activated a TriplePileShot at the BlackGator in front. The D-Particle Pile cut through the air and flew into the mouth of the BlackGator, piercing its head and disappearing into the lake.

The other BlackGators didn't seem to understand what had happened. They kept coming closer. I aimed at another one and fired a TriplePileShot to kill it.

The BlackGators realized that they were being attacked because two of them had disappeared, and they attacked me all at once.

I threw my body straight up with QuadCatapult. The magic was canceled when I reached about 1 meter due to inertia. When the rise stopped, I fixed my left hand in the air with 'Prop'.(TN:He's finally using his brain a little ... Sadly, doing it that way, his wrist should break, even if his hand was straight up in the air.)

WIth being in a position to hand in the air from just my left hand, I fired two TriplePileShots at the BlackGators directly below me.

Immediately after that, the effect of 'Prop' disappeared and I began to fall. The BlackGators, whose backs were pierced by the D-Particle Piles, were in agony.

There was only one unharmed BlackGator. I activated QuadCatapult again, flew away from the BlackGator, and used 'Airbag' to land.

The BlackGator that was left behind ran after me with ferocious momentum. I fired a TriplePileShot at that monster. I felt that the magic was easy to use.

The D-Particle Pile hit the BlackGator's head and killed it. I finished off the BlackGators who were writhing in agony. After collecting the fallen magic stones, I decided to continue exploring the island.

After all, nothing was found and I moved to the next island. That island I also flew in vain and then flew to the island with the stairs down to the 15th floor. It was a small island, and there seemed to be nothing but stairs.

Normally, I would go down to the 15th floor as it was, but there was another island in the back. I flew to that island and checked it from above. A herd of BlackGators were sleeping by the water.

There was also a small mountain on this island, and there was a cave in the middle of it. I landed near the cave and decided to check inside. I put on my night vision goggles and went inside.

Then, Mermen appeared. I shot QuadArrows continuously to wipe them out. While collecting the magic stones, I headed to the back and discovered a gold deposit.

"Hee ~, there's a gold deposit."

However, nothing was written in the Adventurer's Guild documents. Apparently, no one who discovered the gold deposit reported it.

I fired several TriplePileShots at the gold deposit to make it easier to dig and collect the ore. I stored the gold ore in my Magic Pouch and went out, then I flew to the island with the stairs.

I decided to go down the stairs and take out the gold from the gold ore on the way. Stairs were safety zones where monsters did not enter. I was worried about my magical power, so I checked and there was plenty left.

I used 'Pure' to extract the gold. The gold was extracted in the form of gold dust and weighed about 150 grams.

"How much will this sell for?"

I placed the gold dust in a glass container taken out of my Magic Pouch, and discarded the ore after extracting the gold.

Outside the stairs was the 15th floor grassland area. There were two landmarks in the wide meadow. One was a rocky mountain diagonally to the right, and the other was a forest diagonally to the left. The stairs to the 16th floor were located in the middle of the two.

I had no plans to explore the 15th floor today. However, there was a strangely shaped rock a little ways from the stairs, so I went to take a look. As I got closer, I realized it wasn't a rock. It looked like a rock from a distance, but it was actually a mound of soil dug out by a RageSpider when it dug its burrow.

A RageSpider popped out of its burrow, perhaps noticing my approach. And when it saw me it crawled out and ran over.

It was a monster with deadly poison, so I couldn't let it get close. I unleashed a TripleOgrePush towards the RageSpider.
