Episode 307 Ten Layers of Narukami Dungeon

What form does the impact energy absorbed by the Titan plates take?

 Metis, who controls Elmore, asks the hard questions.

I don't know the details. I heard that it is somehow stored in the absorb force field, but the sage system is not universal, so I can't go any further than that."

 <Vector control only releases the energy stored in the absorb force field forward. If there were no "vector control" and only accumulation, the energy would be released somewhere when the magic is released.

"Does that mean magic is still incomprehensible?"

 I cowered.

That's what I'm talking about.

 If we could know everything just because we have a sage system, there would be no need for scholars and researchers.

 I circled the fortress looking for the minotaur to see how powerful "Titampush" was. Elmore follows behind me, checking the perimeter.

What is that?"

 Metis found the stone monument through Elmore's eyes. I approached the monument and read the inscription. It read, "Those who seek the next world, aim for the darkness. But you will not be able to proceed unless you defeat the guardian of darkness.

 I tell them what is inscribed in the metis.

What is darkness?"

'Well, I have no idea. Maybe some sort of basement."

 There may be an entrance to the basement that has yet to be discovered. I decide to stop checking the "Titanium Push" and see if I can't find it from the sky.

 After letting Elmore hide in the shadows, he activated his "Boomerang Wing" to produce a combat wing, then got in and jumped up. After checking around the fortress, he gradually expanded the scope of his search.

 About four kilometers from the fortress, we found what appeared to be a large tomb. There was a building that appeared to be an entrance, and beyond it, we could see a raised terrain in the shape of a fishcake. Since this is not possible in normal terrain, something must have been constructed underground.

 Is it a tomb, or is this going to be dark? I land near the tomb and let Elmore out of the shadows and we start investigating together.

 There is a building that looks like an entrance to a subway or underground mall, and from there it seems to go down a flight of stairs to what looks like a tomb.

What do you want to do?"

Well, let's check ...... to make sure."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

If it was a tomb, there might be undead in it. We should have the light sword Clau at the ready."

 I nodded and took out my light sword Clau. I went down the stairs and it was pitch black inside. I took out my night vision goggles and put them on.

"Is this a passage? If so, it's a very wide passage.

 It was twelve meters wide and eight meters high, and the air inside smelled a bit musty. As we proceeded cautiously, we saw an elephant, either a Minotaur king or a god.

single-swing(ing) door

There was a large statue of a man who was supposed to have been a priest.

 It is about six meters long, made of metal, and holds a battle-axe in its hand.

'Could this statue be the Guardian of Darkness?'

"So there's some kind of contraption that starts moving when you get close to it?"

 I move forward with determination, and sure enough, the metal statue begins to shake and shake.

'Do we have to wait for this guy to make a move, to get some air here?'

'I'm sure you don't mind if we don't wait and attack ......'

 The "Torpedo Dough" was launched toward the Minotaur statue. A D-particle torpedo, which can also fly in the air, flies toward the statue. The Minotaur statue, which had been shaking, suddenly cleaves the battleaxe to the side.

 The battleaxe hit the D-particle torpedo and bounced it off, and the D-particles exploded on impact, striking the walls of the passageway and creating a large hole. The impact shook the entire passageway.

 Fine dust rises in the aisles, blocking the view.

What the heck, you can get moving without all that weird prep work."

 The Minotaur statue started running toward me. Thinking it was just right, I activated the "Titan Push" fivefold activation and slammed the Titan Plate into the approaching Minotaur statue.

 The statue of the Minotaur bounced off and fell on the aisle with a tremendous roar. As one would expect from a statue that seems to weigh in the ton range, it did not fly through the air in a spectacular manner.

 The "Crash Ball" is launched in succession toward the fallen Minotaur statue. The D-particle vibration ball that hit the Minotaur statue released a spatial vibration wave, which covered the metal body with holes.

 Still, the Minotaur statue rises. With awkward movements, he launches "Crash Ball II" toward the metal mass approaching us and projects it without specifying a time.

 Without specifying the time, a spatial vibration wave would be released at the moment of the hit. The high-speed vibration ball that hit the head of the Minotaur statue created a destructive space that enveloped a radius of two meters, shattering the chest from the head.

Well done."

 Metis compliments. The Minotaur statue disappears and the drops remain. Elmore picks up a black magic stone and I pick up a halberd about two meters long.

Is this halberd a magical weapon?"

'I think it's a magical weapon because it was left behind by a demon so called the Guardian of Darkness.

 I took out my appraisal monocle and examined it. As a result, it seems to be a high class weapon called "Thunderbolt Halberd". It is said that when you attack with this halberd, an additional effect is generated by the lightning strike.

 If anyone would use it, it would be Elmore, but when I checked with Metis, he said he would not use it. Elmore has practiced spearmanship, but he is not used to using halberds.

'Hmmm, I think I'll hold off. I could redeem it, but I'll never get these weapons again."

 I decided to move on. At the end of the corridor, there were several small rooms with a coffin-like object. It seemed to be the tomb of the Minotaur.

 At the entrance to the room where the coffin was placed, it was written in sacramental script, "Do not disturb the sleep of the dead.

How about we open that coffin and examine it?"

It feels like a trap."

 It is possible that the coffin contains valuable burial items, but if it is a trap, they may be cursed or poisoned like Akagi and his family.

 As expected, I could not take such a risk solo. I wanted to check it out, but I decided not to, and continued on. At the end of the passage, there was a staircase leading down to the tenth level.

 Descending those stairs, we arrived at the tenth level. It was a vast desert, and we could see what looked like a pyramid in the distance. Apparently, the pyramid was the middle boss room.

 I wanted to see what kind of demon the middle boss was. And I also wanted to find out if there was a transporter room, so I flew to the pyramid in the D-particle wing.

 We landed near the pyramid and headed for the entrance. Two entrances existed, one was a passage leading to the transfer room and the other to the middle boss room.

 When I peeked inside through the entrance of the middle boss room, I saw that the demon inside was a silver ogre. It was about three meters tall with shiny silver horns. What was striking was its eyes. It radiated a supremacy that was not half bad, and made anyone who stared at it afraid of it.

Let's come back."

 Metis also felt threatened by the Silver Ogre. I decided to follow his suggestion.
