Episode 150 Tsukika-dan Team

After spending the night in the Mid-boss room on the 20th floor, I returned to the surface.

The next day, after going to the Adventurer's Guild and exchanging the magic stones, I checked the FireDrake's flight speed in the reference room.

From the testimonies of the adventurers who fought the FireDrake, I could guess that it was about 150 km/h. An adventurer who could use 'Fly' seemed to have engaged it in an aerial battle.

At that time, the three Attack Wizards and the FireDrake fought and they defeated the FireDrake with 'Drake Attack'.

This Attack Magic called 'Drake Attack' was like an anti-aircraft shell that used a proximity fuse. It was said that when the magic cannonball it fired got close to the monster, it sensed its magical power and exploded to kill it.

By the way, the maximum speed of 'Fly' changed depending on the user. It seemed that the fastest Attack Wizard of the three was able to achieve a flight speed of about 150 km/h.

"FireDrakes are 150 km/h, huh ... If we're fighting in the air, I want mine to be around 180 km/h."

[ If you modify 'Wing', you should be able to achieve that flight speed. ]

"That's right."

At that time, the receptionist Maria entered the reference room.

"As expected, you were here."

"Did you need something?"

"Did you see the Tsukika-dan Team in the Suigetsu Dungeon?"

I told her that we were together in the Mid-boss room on the 20th floor.

"That Tsukika-dan Team hasn't come back."

"That's strange. I thought they came back first."

"If they don't come back by the end of the day, I think we will have to search for them. At that time, can you help us?"

I understood. In such cases, it was normal for adventurers to cooperate. Otherwise, when they got lost in the dungeon, others might not come to their aid.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

However, that was up to the intermediate level dungeons. Searching became more difficult in the advanced dungeons.

After doing a little research on the FireDrake, I headed back to my apartment.

I sat down on the sofa and placed the drawstring bag containing Metis and the hairband on the table. I turned on the TV and aimed the Sorcery Eye at it.

The Magic Intelligence Metis watched any program. She didn't seem to have any preferences.

I was thinking about the aerial battle while listening to the audio on the TV. I considered giving up on the aerial battle and killing it with 'Pile Shot' or 'Cold Shot'.

The range was not enough to kill a monster flying freely in the sky. I thought about waiting for it to come closer and kill it, but that would give the monsters the initiative.

If the FireDrake approached while spitting flame breath ... It was no good. Waiting was not a good idea. Besides, if I thought about avoiding flame breath, it was easier to avoid in a dogfight.

I couldn't get my thoughts together. Tired of contemplating, I started thinking about other things. Like countermeasures for preventing the RipperBird from avoiding 'Pile Shot'.

At that time, I received a phone call from the Adventurer's Guild asking me to help search for the Tsukika-dan Team, so I agreed.

The next morning, when I went to the Suigetsu Dungeon, a dozen adventurers had gathered. Branch Chief Kondou thanked the adventurers for their cooperation and decided on the search areas. Tesshin and I were instructed to search the 17th through 20th floors.

"Tesshin-san, my best regards."

"Ou, my best regards."

Tesshin was wearing a Magic Weapon with 'Effect Doubling', which he obtained in the treasure chest.

We headed to the 17th floor. In the desert area on the 13th floor and the lake area on the 14th floor, I made something like a swing with a rope and attached it to the D-Particle Wing to carry Tesshin.

"After all, 'Wing' is good."

"Isn't it possible that Tesshin-san will be able to learn it soon?"

"When the magic level of my Life Magic reaches '8', I intend to learn it as soon as possible."

We went down to the 15th floor and went deeper into the grasslands area. We encountered an ArmorBear on the way. Tesshin drew his sword,

"Leave it to me."

Saying that, he stepped forward. After using 'Power Tank' to increase his physical ability, he applied 'Slash Plus' to his sword.

The ArmorBear started running. Tesshin also ran to meet it, and a fierce battle began. It seemed that Tesshin was superior in speed, and the ArmorBear was superior in power.

Tesshin, who dodged the ArmorBear's brutal claw attack, slashed at the ArmorBear's leg. The blow severely wounded the ArmorBear.

With the calmness of a veteran, Tesshin gradually increased the damage, and finally decapitated the ArmorBear.

"Tesshin-san, don't you fight quite calmly?"

"Nn, I suppose. Unlike the guys in the 'Drunken Squad', I don't have enough power to use brute-force."

It seemed that the members of the 'Drunken Squad' who worked together during the fire were the type to use brute force.

We encountered another ArmorBear near the stairs.

"This time, please leave it to me."

I stepped forward with my staff. Tesshin watched from behind with his arms crossed.

The ArmorBear ran at me. I determined the distance and slammed down a SeventhHighBlade. The blow slashed the ArmorBear from head to chest and it died.

Seeing my way of fighting that defeated it in one blow, Tesshin let out a groan.

" ... I should learn 'High Blade' before 'Wing' ..."

When he reached magic level 8, he began to worry about which one to learn first.

We safely advanced through the 15th and 16th floors and arrived at the 17th floor. Searching in the dungeon would take time if you searched blindly, so you were supposed to use a signal bullet first.

You were supposed to launch signal flares at three locations in the area and wait for the victims to respond. I also bought signal bullets and a signal pistol and put them in my Magic Pouch.

"This is the area where the Cyclopes are. After firing the signal, we'll move right away."

The Cyclopes were very curious and seemed to gather in response to signal flares. I launched the first signal flare. The explosive sound of the signal bullet echoed in the sky.

There was no response from the victims. We moved further in. I launched the second shot in the middle of the area. There was no response there either. And when the third shot was launched near the stairs leading down to the 18th floor, another signal flare was launched from the direction of our right.

"Over there."

We started running. And when we came to a place like a small hill, we found a group of giants. In front of a cave in the hill stood six Cyclopes.

"It's not good. It seems that Tsukika-dan are in that cave."

Tesshin made a grim face.
