I tried the magnihammer several times and confirmed that the power increases in proportion to the amount of magical power poured into it.

Now that we know how powerful the Magnihammer is, let's try to get some other information at the ten-story statue of the god Bastet next."

　I went back to the midboss room and went through the maze to the transfer room and from there moved to the tenth level. I left the transfer room and flew to the mid-boss room on the tenth level, then went down to the tenth level and entered the desert area.

　He started flying again in his hover vehicle, but soon encountered a herd of killer ostriches. Hearing the screams of "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" I flew the hover vehicle and arrived at the pyramid.

　I was disappointed when I entered the pyramid. The statue of the god Bastet was gone.

What does that mean?"

No two times for the same person."

"You mean you won't let them keep it all to themselves."

　It was a bit disappointing, but it was to be expected that the dungeon might not let me keep it to myself. We had no choice but to return to the mid-boss room on the tenth level.

What do we do now?"

I'm going to explore as much as I can while I still can, since this jukai dungeon will only be open for a month."

'When it comes to exploring, there are three possible directions. The first option is the same as the other adventurers, which is to begin our search at the sixth level.'

Sounds like you have a lot of competition."

'Then it's one thing to go up from the tenth layer and another to go down.

It's a choice between risk and reward."

　If you head down, you will encounter even stronger demons, so the risk is greater, but the drop will be more expensive, so the return is greater. The opposite is true if you head up.

I said, "Okay, I've made up my mind. Let's go downstairs."

　I decided to go for the fifteenth layer anyway.

'Let's spend the night here today. Aren't you tired?'

No, I'm not that tired, but, well, I guess I'll just stay here for the night."

　I brought all the shadow puppets out of the shadows. Tamegoro catches my eye.

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

Speaking of which, I'm finding it difficult to find enhanced parts for Tamegoro."

Is the idea to have the claw built into the arm so that it pops out at some kind of switch?"

Yeah, I finished a prototype once, but it broke after a couple of tries. The claws pop out because there is a wrist joint between the hand and the arm. The wrist can move freely, but it seems to be difficult to make the claws pop out.

Why not just give up and carry on as before?"

I guess so." But it's kind of frustrating. I wanted to see Tamegoro jerkin' his fingernails out from between his fingers."

'I don't understand ....... There are still many areas that have not been surveyed, such as the desert area in the first ten layers and the grassland area in the twelfth layer.

We'll use the combat wing to investigate from the air, and if anything goes wrong, we'll go down to the ground and investigate in more detail."

Compared to Bhagwan, it's a bit more rough and ready ......

'This time we have a deadline to meet, so this is about as good as it gets.

　So I went to the tenth level and surveyed the desert area from above.

What is that?"

　I spotted a cloud of dust in the desert. As I approached, I realized it was a large lizard, seven meters long. Its skin was mottled with silver and black. It was the first time I had seen such a monster.

That's a motul lizard. It is said to be a large lizard as sturdy as a tank.

A tough lizard, huh? Come to think of it, I fought a Steel Lizard once. How does it compare to the Steel Lizard?"

If it's tough, the motul lizard is better. However, it moves slowly, so it should be easy to defeat.

　Even though it is slow, it has the speed of an ordinary crocodile. To see how robust it is, he activates a Seventh Cold Shot and fires a D-particle cooling pile at the Motul Lizard's back.

　The D-particle cooling pile hit the motul lizard in the back, but only a few centimeters of the tip bit into it, and it fell out quickly.

I see. It's sturdy."

I think the Crush or the light sword Clau Solas could take him down."

　Perhaps even the divine sword Gram might be able to defeat him, but I ruled it out because I have not yet confirmed the power of that sword.

　I passed over the Motul Lizard on the combat wing. It was threatening me with its big mouth, but it didn't seem to have any way to attack me as I was flying.

　Deciding to target the Motul Lizard's head with a precision attack, he locks onto the Motul Lizard's head, activates "Guided Blitz" and releases a D-particle guided missile. The D-particle guided missile, which fell from the sky like a falling meteorite, accurately hit the Motul Lizard's head and radiated spatial vibration waves.

　The destruction range of the spatial vibration wave was about 20 cm in diameter, so it was impossible to kill it with a single blow. So, he launched another "Guided Blitz" aiming at the same spot. This time, it completely destroyed the brain and stopped the Motul Lizard's movement.

Is that guy still alive?"

　I was surprised to see that the Motul Lizard did not disappear, even though it destroyed my brain.

'...... that could be a dungeon error.'

　Thinking it can't be, I approach the motionless Motul Lizard. It appears to be dead, so I land nearby to check. Motul Lizard seems to be dead.

'Long time no dungeon error, huh? I wonder if we can eat Motul Lizard meat?"

It seems to be edible. And it is on record as being very tasty."

　Since this kind of information cannot be found by using the Demon Appraisal Goggles, it is best to ask questions to the metis. The demon appraisal goggles will be used when there is a demon that even Métis does not understand.

　First, the blood was drained. After taking the blood-draining suspension out of the storage armlet and hanging it upside down, I cut the carotid artery and drained the blood. After the blood was drained, I used "D-Clean" to clean it up and put it in a storage ring with a time delay function that I have in reserve.

　This storage ring was obtained when the bone dragon was defeated. Its capacity is the same as a space five meters in length, width, and height, so it could hold the carcass of a motul lizard.

'Why didn't you use that storage ring before?'

　He laughs shyly at Métis's question.

I was thinking of using it as an engagement ring."

'I see, so you're going to use it soon, and you want to test its performance.

Don't make fun of me."

　The storage ring was put away with great care. We then surveyed the entire desert area from the air. As a result, we found nothing significant, so we decided to return to the ground.

　He decided to ask an expert from the Adventurers' Guild to help him dispose of the Motul Lizard carcass he had obtained through a dungeon error.
