I waited for Bhagwan to recover and talked to him.

What happened to you, Mr. Bhagwan, you seem to have run out of magic?

　The Indian sage contorted his face.

"When we tried to go to Tangerine Mountain, first we ran into two bandit wolves and had a fight, then we ran into a pack of ironmouths. Those ironmouths were nasty."

　He consumed magic power even before coming to the fifth layer, but it seems that the subsequent battle with Bandit Wolf and Iron Mouse consumed a large amount of magic power, causing him to run out of magic power.

　Bhagwan looked at me.

You mentioned that you have a means of restoring magical power. May I ask what that is?"

There is a recovery spring in the second level of the Narukami dungeon in Shibushi City. The water there has the effect of recovering physical and magical strength. We call it a universal recovery medicine.

So what does the water from the Fountain of Recovery taste like?"

　Bhagwan seems to be concerned about the taste. But he is not asked about the taste of water. He does not have a particularly keen sense of taste.

It's just like plain water."

Hmph, not very effective, is it?"

I don't know. I've never taken GGZ, the magic restorative, so I can't compare."

　Bhagwan stared at me.

'Then I guess I'll have to find out for myself. But I got some good information. I appreciate it."

I must warn you, you will need an unalterable bottle to carry the water from the restorative spring."

　Bhagwan nodded as if he understood.

The unchanging bottles, rare as they are, must have been offered at least once a year at an auction." All you had to do was bid on it."

　I didn't know this, but there are dungeons other than Narukami dungeon where you can get the unchanging bottle. But the auction that Bhagwan refers to would not be a Japanese auction.

By the way, who's that back there?"

I'm Elmore the Shadow Puppet."

"I didn't realize you could make shadow puppets that big. ...... that could be useful in your search."

　Bhagwan and I decided to go to Tangerine Mountain together. Bhagwan said he would walk, so I went with him.

Don't you fly away?"

I don't use 'fly' in these situations. It consumes a lot of magic power. Besides, I sometimes find treasures on foot that I would miss if I flew over them.

　Unless in deserts, grasslands, or other areas with good visibility, Bhagwan says the basic rule for adventurers is to walk.

In these dungeons rich in vegetation, unexpected treasures can be found. Take this one, for example.

　Bhagwan pulled a single dandelion-like weed out of the weeds at his feet.

What is it?"

'It's Jezeba weed. It's a remedy for hay fever."

　Some adventurers are experts in collecting such medicinal herbs. I knew about them, but had no interest in them. Herbs were expensive, but the income was nothing compared to what I could earn from the drops.

The job of collecting medicinal herbs in the dungeon is one that involves people's lives. I consider it one of the most important roles an adventurer can play."

　I guess I was wrong about Bhagwan. He seems to be a man who is serious about his work as an adventurer.

By the way, can't you do something about the taste of GGZ?　It might taste better if you add honey or something.

　Bhagwan cowered.

Some people think that the bad taste helps to restore the magic. Some people think that the bad taste helps to restore the magic.

　We can't deny the possibility that this deathly awful taste stimulates the brain and restores its magical powers. It is said that it tastes so intensely bad.

　Arrived at Tangerine Mountain. There were still tangerines left. They looked like ordinary Onshu tangerines. I tried one and it tasted like a tangerine. We picked about three cardboard boxes of tangerines and put them in the magic pouch.

　Me and Bhagwan parted there. The Indian sage said he was going back to India after studying the recovery spring in the Narukami dungeon. He has obtained the desired magical technical book and wants to study it as soon as possible.

　I didn't ask him what kind of magical technical book it was. I had no time to touch other people's books, since I myself had obtained what seemed to be a book of magical technology. If Bhagwan decides that it should be made public, we will know about it later.

　As we were leaving Mt. Tangerine and heading back to the middle boss room on the fifth level, we encountered a pawntrent. Pawntrents are the most common of the torrent species, which are tree demons.

　It is five meters long and the trunk is about 50 centimeters in diameter. Two thick arm-like branches and an octopus

callus

The roots are a bit creepy, moving freely like the legs of a And the pawrents attack their enemies by wielding branches that look like two arms.

　It is said to be a little less strong than Cyclops. I took out my sacred sword Gram, but on second thought, I also took out my Magni Hammer. I wanted to see if this hammer was a usable weapon.

Do you use a magnihammer?"

I want to see how powerful this thing is. By the way, do you know how to use it?"

If it is the same as the hammer of thunder "Mjolnir," you just pour magic power into it and throw it at the target.

　While we were talking, the pawn torrent was closing in on us at a distance of fifteen meters. This guy's speed is not great.

　I pour the same amount of magic power into the Magni-Hammer as I did when I activated the "Crash Ball" and throw it at the pawn torrent.

　The hammer spun around and hit the pawrent with an orange glow. With a dull thud, a crater about 20 centimeters in diameter formed in the trunk of the pawrent, scattering the shaved wood chips all around it.

　Not only that, but the five-meter-long pawn torrent collapsed on impact. The Magnihammer, on the other hand, spun around, made a U-turn and came back and jumped into my hands.

　I hold the magnihammer and observe the fallen Pawntrent. The pawrent is desperately trying to get up. It is trying to get up after it has been fixed by digging its roots into the ground, but it seems to be taking a long time.

'It's hard to get up, isn't it?

It must be heavy because it's that big."

　When he finally got up, he threw a magnihammer, this time infused with three times the magic power. The spinning hammer flew with an orange glow stronger than before, and when it hit Pawntrent, it shattered the trunk and cut it in half. Immediately after that, the pawrent disappears.

The power is great. Let's see if we can change the size next time.'

　Metis says as I collect the yellow magic stone .

What are you going to do?"

'Imagine the hammer getting bigger as you pour magic power into it.'

　I grab the Magnihammer and imagine a giant hammer. Then, the magnihammer begins to absorb D particles in the atmosphere. The hammer grew bigger accordingly.

Wow, the hammer just got heavier."

　Unable to support it, he dropped the Magnihammer to the ground. A thumping sound and a shock was transmitted from the ground to my feet. In the end, the weight of the Magnihammer may have exceeded one hundred kilograms. Even while it was falling from his hand to the ground, it did not stop growing.

If used in the right way, it could be a great weapon.

Yes."
