Episode 38 Suigetsu Dungeon

Since the interview was for a rookie adventurer, I agreed. I decided to be interviewed in the meeting room of the Adventurer's Guild.

"I heard that you just became F-Class, but has it been about half a year?"

"No, it's not been half a year yet."

When I answered, Kurumi nodded in admiration.

"Yes, it's been less than half a year, but it's amazing that you're the top of the F-Class."

"I just got lucky. I don't think it's my ability."

After being asked various questions, I was asked what magic I was good at.

"It's Life Magic."

"... Life Magic? It's not Attack Magic or Muscle Magic?"

"When I say I'm a Life Wizard, everyone reacts in the same way."

Kurumi and the cameraman smiled wryly.

"It's not like I have a prejudice against Life Wizards. It's just, I've never heard of Life Wizards being active in dungeons."

Hearing Kurumi's excuse, I almost let out a sigh. It can't be denied because it's a fact.

"Is that so. But from now on, I will spread the fact that Life Wizards can also play an active role."

I was asked after Kurumi nodded.

"Speaking of which, are you going to participate in the 'Mid-Boss Hunting Battle'?"

The Mid-Boss Hunting Battle is a special hunt held in the Suigetsu Dungeon. There is a Mid-Boss on the ninth floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon. At that place, the Boss repops every six months.

Normally, the interval between repops is not fixed, but only the Mid-Boss of this Suigetsu Dungeon is fixed. It is said to repop on the night of the full moon six months after being defeated.

On that day, adventurers active in the Suigetsu Dungeon will challenge the Mid-Boss Hunt. There is only one rule to challenge the hunt.

It seems that there is no boss drop when defeating the newly repopped Mid-Boss. That's why the rule became like a sports competition, starting from the dungeon entrance at 7 o-clock the next morning after the Mid-Boss repopped, going to the 9th floor and defeating the Mid-Boss.

It seems that most of the F and E-class adventurer teams who have the strength to defeat the Mid-Boss in Shibugami City will participate.

"I want to participate, but I just became an F-Class."

A D-Class adventurer participates solo in the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle. It's difficult to defeat the Mid-Boss even if I form a team with an F-Class.

"Is it possible that he's solo? Won't that be tough?"

When the interview was over and I went to the bathroom and came back, voices leaked out from the meeting room.

"That newcomer was a bit contrary to our expectations."

It's the cameraman's voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Because he's a Life Wizard."

"Well, that's right, but it might be an article that he's a Life Wizard and has the top grades in the F-Class."

After hearing that, I left the Adventurer's Guild with a sour face. Since my wallet was filled up, I went back to sleep after having yakiniku by myself.

The next morning, I headed to the Suigetsu Dungeon. The 1st and 2nd floors were monsters that I had fought in beginner level dungeons, so I conquered them without any problems. Then, I started fighting Jumbo Frogs on the 3rd floor wetland area.

A JumboFrog is a giant frog that weighs about 100 kilograms. Its leg strength and biting power are terrifying, strong enough to bite off a human neck.

The JumboFrog jumped and opened its mouth at my head. I hit a TripleArrow in its big mouth. I could see the D-Particle cone popping out through the monster's head.

The JumboFrog, whose life was stopped, disappeared, leaving behind a green magic stone .

"Oh, I finally found the stairs."

The stairs leading down to the 4th floor were in the middle of the 3rd floor.

After going down the stairs, there was an undulating terrain with a mixture of rocks and grasslands. It was a landscape where goats and sheep were likely to come out. After walking for a while, I encountered a monster.

The monster is a warrior called a Satyr, with the lower body of a goat, and the upper body of a human. Equipped with leather armor, the Satyr held a battleaxe in its hand.

Satyr are seasoned warriors. They are also skillful with an ax and is an opponent that cannot be defeated without magic. After knocking it away with a TriplePush, I shot a TripleArrow into its neck, which is its vital point.

"Phew, I get nervous when I'm facing a monster for the first time."

After the Satyr's corpse disappeared, I picked up the blue magic stone . If I take it to the Adventurer's guild, it will sell for about 5,000 yen.

After defeating the Satyr, I advanced towards the center for about 30 minutes. The terrain became gentler and rocky areas became less frequent. I met a BigSheep there. As the name suggests, it's a large sheep about the size of a cow.

For a monster, it has a moderate personality, and rarely attacks humans. However, if a dungeon error occurs, the mutton and wool will be bought at a high price, so there are adventurers aiming for BigSheep. However, there are not many of them.

The BigSheep are covered in fluffy fur, and it is said that this fur interferes with slashing. Moreover, it has a strong resistance to attack magic, so effective attack methods are limited.

In order to defeat the BigSheep with Life Magic, it was efficient to use 'Mowing' to cut off part of its fur and hit it with a QuintArrow.

The discovery that 'Mowing' can cut off the fur of a BigSheep that repels slashing attacks was surprising. Even I don't know the difference between slashing and cutting D-Particles like a scissors.

However, the fact that they can be harvested doesn't change, so I killed many of the BigSheep I encountered. And when I defeated the seventh one, a dungeon error occurred.

"Wow, it's a dungeon error."

A huge fluffy sheep lay motionless on the grass. I took out a wool carrying bag from my rucksack. A bag developed by the Adventurer's Guild to carry BigSheep's wool.

I use 'Mowing' to shear the wool and pack it in the bag. The bag swelled up. A sigh leaked when I thought about carrying this out of the dungeon.

Comparing wool and mutton, wool is more expensive. It's a pity that I, who is solo, can only carry wool. I thought I would bring a little for myself, but I gave up because I stuffed my rucksack with wool.

"At times like this, I wish I had a Magic Bag."

There are times when you can get an item called a Magic Bag in the dungeon that expands the space inside the bag and can hold more items than it appears.

It seems that many monsters that drop Magic Bags are Goblins and Dragons that appear as Mid-Bosses or Dungeon Bosses. And since the Mid-Boss of the Suigetsu Dungeon is a Goblin-type, many of those who won the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle got Magic Bags.(TN:Thought they said newly repopped Mid-Boss doesn't drop loot?)
