Episode 204 FortSpider's Drop Items

I took out my Appraisal Monocle and appraised the tattoo. Then, just 'Narukami Dungeon Transfer Gate Key' was displayed.

I told it to Metis.

[ I see, this key is limited to the Narukami Dungeon, but it's highly likely that it's not limited to the 5th floor. ]

Hearing that, I remembered the time when I defeated the Vagabond in the Suigetsu Dungeon. I didn't get a key tattoo back then. Certainly, it may be correct to say that it is limited to the Narukami Dungeon.

"Let's check the drop items next."

I sent Tamegorou and Komugi out of the shadows to help me find them. Komugi was handled by Metis, so it was fine, but I gave detailed instructions to Tamegorou.

Tamegorou was the first to find the MegaRockGolem's red magic stone and bring it to me.

"That's great. Next is the drop items. They may be small, so please look for them carefully."

While Tamegorou was looking for the MegaRockGolem drops, Komugi and I looked for the FortSpider drops.

The FortSpider was too big, so the search area was wide. Komugi found a black magic stone and brought it.

"Is it possible that such a big monster doesn't have any drop items?"

[ Because you defeated the first Vagabond in this dungeon, I think there will be some drops. ]

I thought so too, but if it was a ring or something like that, there was a risk that I wouldn't be able to find it. Then, an idea flashed. It was to use the magic of 'Magic Stone'.

'Magic Stone' was a magic that collected things that contained a large amount of D-Particles. Even if it wasn't a magic stone, it should be collected. I activated 'Magic Stone'.

Then, I felt the D-Particles start to gather in one place. It was the base of a tree that resembled a cypress. When I went there and checked it, the D-Particles were trying to lift something like a short bow made of metal.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

However, it seemed that the short bow was too heavy to lift. Since 'Magic Stone' only was given power to lift a light magic stone, it seemed that a metal short bow could not be carried.

I de-activated 'Magic Stone' and lifted up the strange short bow. It was heavy, wasn't it about three kilograms?

Metis looked at the strange short bow and said.

[ It's a Magic Bow. ]

The reason I thought it was a strange short bow was that it had no string and had a switch.

"Should I press this switch."

I pressed something like a toggle switch attached to the handle under the Magic Bow's grip. At that moment, D-Particles spewed out from the rim, which was the curved part at the top and bottom ends, and a string was stretched.

The string was also distinctive, with something like a glass ball attached to the center. The overall shape resembled a western bow

"I don't have any arrows. Can I test fire it."

[ A Magic Bow doesn't need any arrows. Please pull that glass ball-like object. ]

I held up the bow and pulled the glass ball. When I pulled it lightly, I could feel magical power flowing from my body into the Magic Bow. The magical power became an arrow that emitted a crimson light.

"Hee~, it's a crimson magic arrow, huh."

I shot the crimson arrow at a tree about 50 meters away. The crimson arrow that flew at high speed pierced through the trunk and disappeared.

[ That Magic Bow seems to have a long range. ]

"It seems to be powerful as well."

Metis and I were testing the Magic Bow when Tamegorou returned with a ring in its mouth.

After praising Tamegorou, I examined it with the Appraisal Monocle.

[ What kind of ring is it? ]

"This is like a 'Healing Ring'. However, it is not allowed to use it continuously, and it is displayed that it needs a cooldown of about 30 minutes."

The 'Healing Ring' didn't seem to be as effective as an advanced healing magic potion. Serious injuries could not be healed in an instant, but wounds that would heal in about five days could be healed with a single activation.

A wound that took about five days to fully heal, how big of a wound was that? Well, if you use it when you're about to die, you'll probably survive, so let's keep it instead of selling it.

This seemed to be all the drop items.

"For a drop item left by a Vagabond in an advanced dungeon, isn't just this Magic Bow quite shabby?"

[ If you put it up for auction, it should be about 500 million Yen. ]

Hearing that, I stiffened. I was wrong when I thought it was shabby even for a moment. I apologized to the FortSpider in my heart.

Tamegorou must have been worried about my frozen state, asking, 'Are you okay?', so I rubbed it's fluffy body.

After I calmed down due to Tamegorou's fluffiness, I decided that the next step would be to find the secret path. But somehow I felt tired. When I looked around, I saw a vast mountainous area. I felt that it would not be easy to find the secret path, so I decided to end for today.

After returning to the surface, I changed clothes at the Dungeon House and headed to the Adventurer's Guild. When I arrived at the Guild, I asked for a meeting with the Branch Chief. I wanted to report on the words and the secret path written on that metal slab.

"Have you made any big discoveries?"

Maria asked.

"It's not a big discovery, but I defeated the FortSpider on the 5th floor."

Maria's eyes widened.

"That's amazing. You defeated it solo, right?"

"Well, yeah."

The adventurers who head that began to make a fuss. Hearing that, the Branch Chief came out from the back.

When he heard that I defeated the FortSpider, he said he would ask me for more information in the Branch Chief's office. We went to the Branch Chief's office.

"Did you really beat it?"

Branch Chief Kondou checked with me, so I took out the black magic stone and the Magic Bow.

"A Magic Bow, it seems it's true. However, even though it's difficult to defeat even for a team of B-class adventurers, you managed to beat it."

"The possibilities of Life Magic are infinite."

The Branch Chief burst into laughter.

"Right, infinite. So, what kind of magic did you use to defeat it?"

"It's a Life Magic called 'Direct Bomb'."

"A new magic, is it. It's something that was in that Magic Book, I'm envious."
