I heard from Nezu about the commotion that the two A-level adventurers had caused at the guild. Nezu had heard about it from another adventurer when he went to exchange magic stones for cash.

What does it mean that the two Class A students' bodies were flooded with magic?"

That's when the two of them, sensing a fight, started warming up."

　Nezu tilted his head.

What do you call warming up for a fight?"

I taught you that moving a large amount of magic around in the body clears the brain and muscles. I taught you that moving magic power around in the body activates the brain. If you do that with a large amount of magic power, not only the brain but also the muscles will be in the best condition. I heard that the magician in the magical costume calls it 'clearing'."

　Of course, when an ordinary magic-armor wizard starts warming up, it does not mean that his body is overflowing with magical power. However, when a person as strong as a Class A magician warms up, it seems that his or her body overflows with magical power due to the enormous amount of magical power he or she moves around inside.

Can Dr. Grimm do that?"

You can do it, but it gets a little weird, so we don't usually do it."

　Nezu seems to have interpreted what he described as a strange thing as causing a commotion.

How's the leveling going?

Yes, I finally reached magic level 7."

At magic level 7, you can learn 'Thunder Arrow' and 'Ogre Push'. Ogre Push is the basis for tactics in the middle level of the intermediate dungeon, so be sure to practice your rapid-fire attacks well.

I understand.

　After I finished talking with Nezu, I went to the Adventurer's Guild. I went to the Adventurers' Guild to obtain information on the eleventh level of the Narukami dungeon. At the adventurers' guild, there was a buzz that a stairway to the twelfth level had been discovered.

What's all the fuss about finding a stairway to the Twelve Levels?"

　I asked Maria, the receptionist, a question.

I heard that the twelfth layer was a desert area, and that the sand giants 'sand giants' live there.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

　Sand Giggars are demons hated by adventurers. Its body is made of sand, making it difficult to inflict a fatal wound even if it attacked.

　However, when a Sandgigarth is defeated, it sometimes drops a magical stone reactor, and some adventurers try to defeat it. Some adventurers try to defeat Sandgigarths by using the magical stone reactors. However, it is said that to defeat a Sandgigarth, you must break a crystal-like object the size of a golf ball called a sand heart inside its body.

　The location of its sand heart is unknown, and the only way to defeat it is to blow up its entire body. The method is similar to that used to deal with running slugs, but it is said to be more difficult to defeat than running slugs due to the lack of a specific location for the vital point and the size of the five-meter-tall body.

I'd love to have a magic stone reactor."

　The magic stone reactor you can get in the dungeon has the function of converting yellow magic stone into magic power or electricity. Since it can be used for various things, I wanted to get one.

　This could be a quick win. The drop rate for repopped demons is lower, so it is easier to get drop items if you defeat demons that were born when the dungeon was created.

　I got ready to go to the dungeon and headed for the Narukami dungeon.

　We moved from the transfer room on the first level to the tenth level and went to the tenth level. After observing the slug meadow, I took out my hover vehicle. The magic battery should be enough for the round trip since it is already filled with magic power.

　When Elmore is brought out of the shadows, they board the hover vehicle together, levitate it, and start the air jet engines. With a "go" sound, the hover vehicle begins to move forward.

How soon can we break through the slug meadow?"

As for me, I'd like to get through it in an hour or so."

Given the performance of the hover vehicle, it should be fine."

　Soon we encountered a group of running slugs. The running slugs, which had spread out in the meadow in front of us, began to run toward the hover vehicles.

　When I tilt the stick to the left, the running slugs also change course to the left at once. The hover vehicle is faster, but it is difficult to escape from the running slugs.

　Of course, I could escape by moving backward, but that would be pointless. I looked at the running slugs lined up next to me and started to advance toward the running slug that was in the most spaced-out area.

　When each running slug becomes clearly visible, I activate "Guided Blitz". I lock on to the head of the running slug in the direction of travel and release a D-particle guided missile.

　A D-particle guided missile obliterated the running slug's head. Another running slug comes close to fill the hole made by the defeated running slug.

　I pressed the "smash button" and let the hover vehicle strike the tall running slug. The running slug, which felt no impact and was hit back with kinetic energy from both sides, flew through the air, spinning vertically.

I'm thinking, "Great, this will get us through the slug meadows in less time. This should get us through the slug meadow in a short time."

If you put it up for auction, I'm sure it will fetch a very high price.

I'm not going to do business with this."

　We then encountered three running slug swarms, but used the speed of our hovervehicles to break through. After breaking through the slug meadow, we headed in the opposite direction from the coiling peach forest. There was a staircase in that direction.

　We descended the stairs and arrived at the twelfth level. It was a sandy place.

It's hot. It's almost physically draining."

　Elmore was staring into the desert, then suddenly raised his arm and pointed.

Isn't that Sand Giggars?"

　Looking in the direction Elmore pointed, I saw something moving.

Let's check it out. I'll take a hover vehicle."

　I got out my hover vehicle and let Elmore pilot it. He had practiced and was able to do it.

　As the hover vehicle approached the moving object, it realized it was a sand giath. The grains of sand had been clumped together by some force and formed the figure of a giant.

　I activated "Crash Ball" and released a D-particle vibration ball toward the chest of the sand, the D-particle vibration ball hit the chest and the spatial vibration wave made a hole, but it came toward me without a hitch.

Looks like zero damage."

It's like a nasty demon."
