We decided to return to the 14th layer, camp there, and come back.
Are you going to camp here?"
When I told him that we would be encamping on the fourteenth layer, Kitagawa was surprised.
Kumamoto turns to me and nods as if to say he understands.
You mean to tell me that tomorrow you're going to have a real fight with the basilisk zombies?"
Yes, today's reconnaissance gave us a good idea of the basilisk zombie's movements and speed, so we have a plan.
The fourteenth layer is a grassland area. This area is full of dinosaur-type demons, with swift bipedal huntersaurus and quadrupedal ankylodon roaming the grasslands.
Kumamoto and the others began to prepare to camp near the stairs. I brought out Elmore, Tamegoro and Taabo from the shadows. Kumamoto and the others saw this and quickly prepared themselves.
Shadow Puppets."
I see. But I've never seen a shadow puppet this big before."
Kitagawa looks envious.
While encamped, we made plans for tomorrow's battle.
When I woke up the next day, I went to the fifteenth level with the "Kokoro Dorokudan" team. Kumamoto and the others were to wait near the stairs, and Elmore and I were to head for the middle boss's room.
Basilisk zombies were loitering in front of the middle boss room, as they did yesterday.
Let's go around the side of him.
I understand. The hit rate of the projection barrel is not so good, so it is better to go around to the side to get a bigger target.
I want to damage the basilisk zombie with the first blow before it notices me. However, I am not sure if I will be able to hit it accurately since it is a blow from a distance of about 200 meters.
I approach cautiously so as not to be noticed by the enemy. On my finger, I have the "Efficiency Doubling Ring," the "Viatian Ring," the "Healing Ring," and the "Condition Abnormality Resistance Ring" fitted, and on my ear, I have the "Attention-Disrupting Earrings.
The "Attention-Disappearing Earrings" in it should be effective. Elmore is temporarily in the shadows.

I reach a perfect position to use "Projection Barrel". I pull Elmore out of the shadows and activate the "Projection Barrel".
Once the magnetic generating barrel is formed, point its tip at the center of the basilisk zombie's torso. Three stabilized winged shells and a shield are removed from the storage armlet.
The moment the shell was set and magnetized, a hypersonic shell was shot out, generating a shockwave. Elmore and I used our shields to block the shockwave and check the results. The first shell seemed to hit the base of the basilisk zombie's hind leg and exploded.
One hind leg and half of the waist are blown off, scattering pieces of flesh and bone. A normal demon would have been unable to move, if not dead, but the undead were different. Realizing that I had attacked it, it crawled forward on its remaining leg.
He hurriedly adjusted his sights and pushed the next shell into the magnetic generating barrel. The second shot missed its target and landed on the ground, sending up a heaping pile of earth and sand.
A basilisk zombie crawls forward through the rising sediment to reveal itself. A disgusting sweat broke out on my back and poured down.
The third shell is pushed in. The shell, which flew away generating a shockwave, hit the base of the long tail, blowing off the tail and the remaining hind legs.
I expected that this would get me stuck, but I was betrayed by the unusual behavior of the basilisk zombies.
No. He crawls on his front legs only. They crawl on their front legs only.'
The sight of a basilisk zombie crawling toward me, its torso slithering and scraping against the ground, fills me with dread in my heart.
I was already out of range for a long-range attack. If I continued to shoot, the blast would blow me away. At that moment, I felt my magic power being sucked out of me. The magic power was decreasing at a considerable rate.
If I don't finish him off with a single blow, it will be bad. He takes out his light sword, Clau Solas, readies it, and pours magic power into it.
Between the two sword blades of the light sword Clau Solas, light is created and the real sword blade, the Photon Blade, is formed. I slammed the photon blade into the head of the basilisk zombie.
Since the Photon Blade is composed of holy light, the basilisk zombies could not absorb its energy. It seems that holy light and the undead were incompatible after all.
The photon blade did not stop its momentum even after cutting the giant lizard's head in half with a single blow, and it also sliced through the ground. The basilisk zombie was not killed instantly even though its head was cut in half, but was hit from the head down. Elmore with his shield jumped in and caught the head. It was just as he had planned.
The
The basilisk zombie stopped moving and vanished as its crown-like chicken head was ripped open. At that moment, I heard a thumping sound inside my body. My magic level had risen to"21. I sat down on the ground.
My head is fuzzy and my body is not strong enough. This is a symptom of a sudden decrease in magical power. It seems that the "energy drain" was more powerful than I had expected.
He takes out the unchanging bottle and drinks the universal restorative, the effect of which clears his head. Elmore approached me.
Are you okay?"
"Oh, thank you for saving my life."
'Then let's look for the drops.
We started looking for drops. First we found a small white magic stone, then a scroll. We took out the monocle and examined it.
It was the 'scroll of knowledge' I had hoped for."
'It seems that that information was genuine. Congratulations.'
I decided to defeat the basilisk zombie because I learned that the "Scroll of Knowledge" was produced when I defeated it. If the "Scroll of Knowledge" had not appeared, I would have been disappointed.
When I looked for other dropped items, I found a basilisk zombie claw. It was a large claw with a blade of about 50 centimeters.
It's the claw that was cutting through that rock. It could be used as a weapon."
Is this the end of the drop?"
I think it's a bit small for a drop from this many demons."
Why not try "The Magic Stone?"
I activated the "Magic Stone" and the ring flew out. Another ring. It is said that rings are the most common type of magic equipment, so I guess it can't be helped.
I looked it up in the appraisal monocle and found it was the "Ring of Hercules". This ring seems to have the effect of increasing muscular strength up to five times.
