Episode 159 Suigetsu Dungeon 30th floor
Three days after creating 'Thunder Sword', I was on the 28th floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon. Wearing winter clothes, I was confronting a CrazyBear. It was snowing, falling like petals on my shoulders.
"This guy is surprisingly quick."
I muttered after it avoided the unleashed QuintHighBlade. When the wind blew, the snow rose up and blocked my view. It was a difficult situation to fight in, but the reason the CrazyBear was able to dodge the attack was because it was quick.
This CrazyBear was a giant bear with a total length of about 4 meters. It didn't have the power and defense of an ArmorBear, but it was quick at any rate.
"Even though the footing is unstable, it can easily move quickly."
The CrazyBear started to open its mouth.
[ Warning! The thing I told you about is coming. ]
With Metis' warning, I fired a QuintOgrePush at the CrazyBear. The Ogre Plate was hammered into the wide open mouth. At that moment, the CrazyBear, that was about to roar, fell backwards.
The roar emitted by the CrazyBear had the magical effect of paralyzing the human body.
[ It's a chance. ]
I tossed out a TripleColdShot. The end of the D-Particle Cooling Pile that hit it opened as a stopper, and a large impact was driven into the CrazyBear's body.
Blood flowed out of the CrazyBear's mouth and it collapsed. The gigantic bear disappeared, leaving behind a blue magic stone
"It's cold, even if I'm wearing winter clothes. If I get paralyzed by a CrazyBear's roar in a place like this, I might easily freeze to death."
[ Would you like to make magic for heating? ]
"I don't want to waste magical power in a place like that. Rather than that, have you made a map?"
[ It's fine. Ahh, the enemy. ]
The monsters this time were a group of SnowWolves. A group of large wolves with a body length of up to two meters. I activated 'Multiple Attack' with quintuple activation.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Thirty small D-Particle Piles appeared in front of me and were fired at the pack of wolves. The small D-Particle Piles radiated out and pierced half the pack.
"It's good to use it like this."
The SnowWolves, with their fangs bared and their faces distorted, groaned, and five of them attacked at the same time. I threw my body backwards with a TripleCatapult.
I activated QuintM-Attack again in the air. Thirty small D-Particle Piles flew outwards and pierced three of the wolves. The remaining two approached while kicking away the snow.
I swung a QuintBlade sideways towards the wolves that approached me at point-blank range. The head of one flew off and it slashed the front legs of the other.
Then I finished off the wolf that was struggling. I didn't like it because it was cold here and the magic stones were hidden in the snow.
"I really want to create magic for heating."
Even while complaining, I conquered the 28th floor and descended to the 29th floor.
The 29th floor was a grassland area. The monsters encountered in this area were GiantCentipedes. They were large centipedes, three meters long and 30 centimeters wide.
If it was just one, it wasn't difficult to defeat. However, in this grasslands area, large centipedes lived in swarms. All those GiantCentipedes came towards me all at once.
I activated a QuintM-Attack towards them. About ten large centipedes disappeared, but the rest approached.
"This is no good."
I activated a TripleCatapult and threw my body straight up. I was thrown ten meters up into the sky, and activated TripleP-Shield so that it was parallel to the ground.
When the D-Particle Durable Shield was fixed in the air, I landed on it. I hurriedly activated 'Wing', put the saddle on it and straddled it.
Countless large centipedes were wriggling in the grasslands I overlooked from above.
"I wonder how the other adventurers capture the 29th floor?"
[ If it's the 'Drunken Squad', I think they would do a forced breakthrough. ]
Metis, who had seen the 'Drunken Squad' at the Adventurer's Guild, answered immediately. I agreed with this. If it were those men, they would force their way through while laughing.
I searched the stairs while flying around the sky and found something I didn't like. A huge snake coiled itself in front of the stairs. I didn't like snakes.
"Okay, let's use 'Thunder Sword'."
I decided to attack from the sky. I activated 'Thunder Sword' while riding the D-Particle Wing. A large sword that emitted red light appeared in front of me and flew towards the giant DeathSnake.
The D-Particle Thunder Sword like a glittering blade was converted into free electrons from the D-Particles in the front part and emitted. It attacked the DeathSnake like a lone dragon and ran through while burning the monster's body.
The DeathSnake, whose internal organs were burned out, disappeared like it melted in the air. Then, it dropped a red magic stone
I landed and quickly picked up the magic stone and drop item and rushed to the stairs. Because the giant centipedes were starting to gather.
"Fuu! , I've finally reached the 30th floor."
I was relieved when I entered the stairs. When I checked the drop item, it was an intermediate healing magic potion. It was a medicine that healed even serious injuries, including broken bones, in a short time. If I converted it into cash, it would be in the millions.
"Let's store this away without selling it."
Since I planned to challenge the advanced dungeons from now on, I thought I should keep something like this as insurance.
I went down the stairs. the target 30th layer was a wilderness with rocks and whitish soil. The ceiling was high, and there was a vast space where the FireDrake could fly freely.
"Is this whole area the FireDrake's home?"
[ How much magical power do you have left? ]
When Metis pointed it out, I took out a magic counter and measured it.
"About half."
[ It is reckless to fight now. Let's do it after one night. ]
I thought that was reasonable, so I took out my camping gear and decided to spend the night on the stairs.
I couldn't fall asleep because I was so excited. However, it seemed that I fell asleep at some point. The next time I woke up, I had slept for seven hours.
After getting ready for battle, I set foot on the 30th floor. The air felt dry. The air was actually dry because there were no rivers or lakes.
I started looking for the FireDrake. It would be best if I was able to launch a surprise attack while it was on the ground, but it wasn't as easy as expecting that kind of luck.
After about 30 minutes, I saw the FireDrake land on the hill ahead.
"Ehh, unexpected good luck?"
It looked like it was tired from flying and was taking a break. I went around behind it and erased my presence as I approached.
