Episode 40 Suigetsu Dungeon 5th floor

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

Kurumi looked at my face and said something rude. It seems unbelievable that I have defeated an OrcKnight before.

"It's true. I've defeated two even like this."

"Isn't that amazing? To defeat OrcKnight solo, isn't your ability comparable to a D-Class or E-Class veteran adventurer?"

Hearing Kurumi praise me, Kazamatsuri asked with a displeased look.

"If that's true, then Grimm-sensei must have used magic other than Life Magic, right?"

"No, I defeated it with just Life Magic."

Kazamatsuri's face became even more displeased.

"Please don't lie. There shouldn't have been any Life Magic that could defeat OrcKnight."

He's annoying. I stared at Kazamatsuri.

"How much do you know about Life Magic?"

Kazamatsuri couldn't answer when asked that.

Kurumi asked on my behalf.

"I don't know much about it, but I hear that Life Magic is useless when it comes to defeating monsters."

"Life Magic can defeat monsters depending on your ingenuity. Also, new magic is increasing."

"New magic?"

"If you go to the Magic Agency and look it up, you'll find that new magic has been registered."

"Grimm-sensei, can you show me your new magic?"

I was at a loss as to what to do with Kurumi's request. However, I thought that if there were more people who wanted to acquire 'Cone Arrow' as an article, Life Magic might be reconsidered. If the number of people who acquire it increases, it will also be my income.

I headed to the guild's training grounds. Went to the front of the target made of a board and tell them.

"Please keep an eye on that target."

The spectators gathered around me and turned their attention to the target.

When I turned my palm to the target, I fired a TripleArrow. There was a bang and the target shook and a hole opened.

"Ah."

Kurumi raised her voice. However, Kazamatsuri tilted his head.

"Wait a minute. Isn't that a magic bullet?"

You're so suspicious, Kazamatsuri. I let out a sigh and said.

"Then, let's raise the power and fire it again. People with good intuition should be able to feel it."

I fired a QuintArrow. The D-Particle Cone, which began to emit a presence, flew and pierced the target board and cracked it.

Kazamatsuri and Kurumi were wide-eyed. They seemed to have sensed the existence of the D-Particle cone.

"It wasn't a magic bullet, was it?"

Kazamatsuri reluctantly agreed. Because magic bullets have no sense of existence.

"But, Grimm-sensei. I don't think you can defeat an OrcKnight with this much power, can you?"

I look at Kazamatsuri with a reproachful gaze. You're really annoying, Kazamatsuri.

"The power of this magic can be increased with ingenuity. The current power is not the highest."

They were convinced for the time being, so I decided to go home quickly.

I went back to my apartment and thought about what to do next. At this point, I will probably focus on intermediate level dungeons. Should I move apartments?

It took about 15 minutes by bus from the apartment to the Suigetsu Dungeon. I can't say it's far, but if I come back from the dungeon in the middle of the night, there wouldn't be a bus, so I would be in trouble.

"Should I go from here for a little longer? I'll decide after checking how much I can earn in the Suigetsu Dungeon."

The next day, I actually planned to take it as a holiday, but I went to the Grassland Dungeon and practiced 'Sensing Zone'. I thought I needed to get used to it.

After activating the 'Sensing Zone' and concentrating to feel the movements of the monsters. I took a break and repeated it. Thanks to that, I was getting used to it little by little.

Around noon, I got tired, so I finished practicing 'Sensing Zone' and went back to my apartment to relax.

After resting for only half a day, I dived into the Suigetsu Dungeon the next morning. I proceeded to the 4th floor at the shortest distance. On the 4th floor, I proceeded while defeating Satyrs and BigSheep, and explored about half of the 4th floor.

Because of the undulating terrain, finding the stairs is also difficult. I thought I could buy a map at the Adventurer's Guild, but maps for intermediate dungeons are expensive.

Each layer is sold individually, and I didn't buy a map of the low-rise area because I thought it woudl be a waste.

As I attempt to explore the latter half of the area, I encountered a Satyr. Missing QuintJavelin's attack, it became close combat. While avoiding the attacking battleaxe, I TriplePush the Satyr away.

I also dodged back and fired a QuintArrow. The blow pierced the Satyr's chest. I thought it was a mortal wound, but the Satyr didn't die and stumbled closer to me.

Then, it swung its battleaxe and tried to attack. A moment later, my Tatakanata's blade sliced through the Satyr's neck. The Satyr swung its battleaxe down as blood spurted from its neck. I didn't have time to avoid it, so I blocked it with my Holy Silver Arm Guard.

I received a thumping impact, but I wasn't injured. The Satyr disappeared, leaving a glass container on the ground. It's rare for normal monsters to drop items, but it does happen.

"Oh, could it be ..."

It's called a magic potion. It's the same container as the one listed in the Weekly Adventurer, so there's no doubt about it.

The glass container is a little reddish, so it's called an elementary healing magic potion. if it's green instead of red, it's an elementary detoxification magic potion. Either way, it sells for about 300,000 yen per bottle.

"I should have bought a protective case."

It seems that veteran adventurers bring a case to the dungeon to protect the glass container in case a potion drops. It would be a big loss if the glass container broke during a battle.

I wrapped the magic potion with a towel that was in my backpack and stored it in my backpack. Not long after that, I found the stairs to the fifth floor and descended.

The fifth floor was a forest area. It was a dark place with tall trees growing thickly inside. The landmarks are three giant trees. They seem to be about eighty meters tall. Among them, I decided to aim for the giant tree diagonally forward to the left.

After about 50 meters into the forest, I encountered the first monster. It was a black tiger. Adventurers call this monster 'DarkTiger'. They don't call it ‘BlackTiger'.
