Episode 472 Versailles Dungeon

We continued the hunt for Dark Fang. Dark Fang seemed to jump out of the shadows when approached by lurking shadows, using D-particle sensors to locate Dark Fang and then dive into the shadows as we approached.

　Dark Fang seems to be good at jumping out of the shadows and attacking by surprise, but it is easy to defeat him if he is one-patterned. I was about to say "wang, patang" as a pun, but decided not to, because I was afraid Alisa would say it was a pun. I was about to say "wan, patan" but decided against it because I was afraid Alisa would say it was a dad gag.

It looks like Dark Fang dove into the shadow of that rock."

I'll take care of it.

　Ami moves forward cautiously, holding her magnihammer. Ahead of her is a rock, and in its shadow lurks Dark Fang.

　As Ami approached five meters from the rock, Dark Fang leapt out of its shadow. Ami activated her prepared "Crash Sword" and leapt to the side, cleaving Dark Fang with her spatial vibration blade.

　The "Crash Sword" has a short range, so it is a close combat, but its power is powerful. Dark Fang's torso is sliced in half.

Well done, that's a hell of a shot."

Thanks to the newly registered 'Crash Sword. But this magic has too short a range."

　I laughed. The range of the "Crash Sword" was shortened to three meters by setting the magic level to "10," and it consumes a lot of magic power. And since it consumes a lot of magic power, it's a trump card that can't be used often.

　Ami picked up the shadow magic stone. She stared at it, then smiled and put it away in her magic pouch.

　Then we continued the hunt for Dark Fangs, and I killed six, Alisa four, and Ami three. We also got some shadow clay, which totaled about one hundred and fifty kilograms.

　Francine, who was watching the hunt, was amazed.

They say you're lucky if you kill about three Dark Fangs a day."

　Dark Fang, a shadow species, is a difficult demon to discover. They are surprised at how easy it is for me to discover it.

It's the result of honing those skills."

Is that a skill that can be acquired by a magic-armor wizard?"

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

'Unfortunately, it's hard to do without the gift of life magic.'

　Francine seemed disappointed.

I hear there's a dungeon with a dark unicorn in it?"

　I asked him about the dungeon where the dark unicorn is located, and he said it is in the Gascony region near Spain. It is a bit far away, so hunting the dark unicorn seems to be difficult.

I'd better get back.

　I suggested it, and the three of us nodded. We started back toward the ground, and on the way we encountered Blood Kong. Blood Kong was a two-and-a-half-meter-tall, red-furred great ape with a club as a weapon. It is characterized by its club as a weapon.

Let me take this one down."

　Francine, who was acting as our guide, had seen us hunting and wanted to fight. Francine's weapon of choice was a two-handed battle-axe.

　It is said to be a magical weapon called "Parash", an axe given to the hero Parashurama by the god Shiva in Indian mythology. Francine, holding the battle-axe, activates the magic of magical armament.

　It seemed to be a power-up type of magic, and he easily maneuvered his heavy-looking parachute and knocked out the Blood Kong. It seems to be somewhat similar to Amane's fighting style.

　Back on the ground, I go to the Adventurers' Guild. I go to the Adventurers' Guild to report on the situation and to ask about the state of the Versailles dungeon. The sea level in the fourth level of the Versailles dungeon has begun to drop.

'So I should just go to the Versailles dungeon and wait it out?'

　I asked in English, and the branch manager nodded.

Yes, if you are a grade-A adventurer, I would love to see you take down the Goblin Emperor."

　The Goblin Emperor is said to be faster than the Red Ogre. Moreover, they say it can summon two goblin generals.

Goblin Emperor and Goblin General. Sounds nasty."

　When I asked who defeated the Goblin Emperor last time, I was told that three A-level magical wizards teamed up to defeat him. This time, however, they will not participate.

　We went to the Versailles dungeon and stayed at a hotel nearby. We waited for the road to the fifth level to be opened while we got tired from the Dark Fang hunt.

　The next day, I received a call from an official of the Adventurers' Guild that it was about to open, so I headed for the dungeon. A large number of adventurers had gathered there.

　These adventurers have not gathered with the intention of defeating the Goblin Emperor. The goal is a deposit of orichalcone. French adventurers are entering the dungeon in droves.

　We went inside too. Francine guided us through the shortest route to the fourth level. We passed many adventurers on the way.

　Down to the fourth level, several adventurers were waiting for the tunnel to fully emerge. After a short wait, the entrance to the fifth level, usually below sea level, came into view.

　When we went through that tunnel to the fifth level, we saw a vast forest. This forest is inhabited by yellow ogres. There are also high goblins and kobolds.

　The other adventurers ran toward the orichalcone mine and disappeared.

The room for the mid-boss is on that mountain."

　Francine pointed to the largest mountain on the fifth level.

Then I guess I'd better fly.

　Ami suggested. Francine, however, disagrees.

You shouldn't fly away," he said. There are alligator flies in the sky."

Alligator fly, or maybe I should take Francine's advice."

　Although each alligator fly is weak, they spring up in myriad numbers and attack. Adventurers do not like to fight alligator flies because it consumes magic power to intercept them.

　We began to make our way through the forest on foot. When we encountered high goblins and kobolds, Elmore and Tamegoro took care of them, and when we encountered yellow ogres, I locked on to their heads with my "Guided Blitz" and killed them with D-particle guided bullets.

I'm sure you'll be able to kill the yellow ogre in a heartbeat. There is good magic in life magic."

　Francine lets out a sigh.

　After defeating the third yellow ogre, I reached the front of the middle boss room. A little tired, I decided to take a rest and then go inside.

Why did Dr. Grimm decide to take down the Goblin Emperor?"

　Francine asked.

I was told that if you defeat the Goblin Emperor, he will drop a pair of high-performance appraising goggles."

　High-ranking goblins are famous for dropping storage-type magical equipment such as magic bags, but this time the target was appraisal goggles.

　They can appraise items, demons, and dungeons. Moreover, the information displayed is said to be very detailed.
