Episode 480 Palmiro's Challenge

Palmiro had come to the Mycenae dungeon in Greece. He teams up with four adventurers and with their help arrives at the middle boss room on the 30th level.

I've finally arrived. I'm tired."

　Palmiro takes a deep breath. On the way here, most of the demons had been defeated by all four except Palmiro.

Are you sure you can handle this alone?"

　One of the adventurers asks Palmiro.

The middle boss, Bahamut the Giant Dragon, is meaningless if I alone do not defeat him.

But it's dangerous.

You have to take that risk to find the way.

　Palmiro is also an adventurer who has reached the C level. However, he gained special powers and the backing of the Vatican shortly after becoming a C-level.

　However, I rarely dive into the dungeon on that occasion. This time it was his first time in a dungeon in several years. After taking a rest and getting tired, Palmiro entered the middle boss room alone.

　A huge dragon stood in a large space. It was about 20 meters long and had large wings. Palmiro's body trembled just as his eyes met those of the giant dragon.

What is there to fear? I have become immortal. Death will not come to me."

　Palmiro tightened his grip on the divine spear Gungnir, a mythical magical weapon. He then pours his magical power into the spear. At that moment, Bahamut opens his eyes and opens his big mouth.

　A breath of blue flame was spat out toward Palmiro. The torrent of tremendous heat approached Palmiro, scorching the atmosphere.

　Palmiro activated "White Armor," covered his body with a white magical membrane, and started running. While avoiding the blue flame breath, he throws Gungnir as he puts his magical power into it.

　Gungnir hit Bahamut in the chest and pierced his heart. An ordinary dragon would have suffered great damage, if not death. But Bahamut, the giant dragon, was a dragon with three hearts to circulate the blood around its huge body.

　He poured magic power again into Gungnir, which came back into Palmiro's hand, and tried to throw it. Bahamut flapped his huge wings and flew up.

　There is no way that such a heavy-looking giant dragon could fly up with just the flap of its wings, so magic must have had something to do with it.

　Palmiro throws Gungnir. Bahamut noticed this and spat out a blue flame breath toward Gungnir. Palmiro realized that he had made a mistake. He had thrown the projectile too soon. He should have thrown the projectile after getting a little closer.

　Gungnir is forced to fly through the blue flame, and the magical power poured into it is rapidly depleted. Even so, it penetrates the blue flame breath and flies to the eye of Bahamut.

　Just as Gungnir was about to hit him in the eye, Bahamut stopped his breath and bit Gungnir. Gungnir and Bahamut's fangs began a contest of strength as Gungnir tried to penetrate the brain, and Gungnir's magical power ran out.

　Gungnir is shattered by Bahamut's fangs. Palmiro bit his lip when he saw this. Having lost his main weapon, Palmiro was in desperate straits.

I don't blame you.

　Palmiro stared at the approaching Bahamut and activated the escape ball. Palmiro was instantly thrown out of the middle boss room.

"Are you hurt, Mr. Palmiro?"

　Palmiro got up and looked unusually reluctant.

Don't worry. I'll be back."

　After returning to Italy, Palmiro went to the villa. Upon entering the villa, he calls his squire, Luberti.

"How did it go, Mr. Palmiro?"

It's a failure. That Gungnir could not defeat it. We need a better magic weapon than that."

　Hearing this, Luberti nodded.

Mythic-class magic weapons, such as the divine spear Gungnir and above, are more difficult to obtain."

What kind of magical weapons do you have?

The "Karadborg" by the brave Schreiber, the "Clau Solas" by Sakaki, who is ranked 45th in Class A, the "Fragalach" by the wise Emilian, and the "Brunach" by Goltberg, who is ranked 8th in Class A."

　There may be other powerful magic weapons, but these are the only ones whose names are well known. Grimm's "Light Sword Clau Solas" became famous for inflicting great damage on the Vaaski Dragon King who appeared in Ayutthaya.

Sakaki, who saw through my mental attack, has to be ruled out. Let's also rule out Emilian, the wise man who came in contact with Sakaki."

Then it would be the brave Schreiber and Goltberg, but since the brave Schreiber has stolen the 'Beard of the Dragon King Catfish,' he must be on the lookout for it.

'Then it's Goltsberg. Find out what he does."

"Thank you."

However, the 'Steel Heart Technique' that Sakaki registered with the Magic Agency is disturbing."

　The "Steel Heart Technique" was readily available at a low price of about 10,000 yen. However, as a method to prevent mental attacks, defensive rings have become the mainstream. So, although the "Steel Heart Technique" has not spread yet, it was a hindrance from Palmiro's point of view.

　A month later, Goltberg, a German attack wizard, was killed in a mysterious explosion in a dungeon. It seems that the magic weapon "Breunach," which he was supposed to have owned, was never found.

　The squire, Luberti, carrying a long, narrow wooden box delivered to Palmiro's villa, appeared before Palmiro.

A package has arrived from Germany.

"It's finally arrived."

　Palmiro, who showed a rare smile, made me open the wooden box. Checking inside, he found a spear that seemed to have tremendous power.

This is 'Breunach'? Excellent."

Can this defeat Bahá'u'lláh?"

　Palmiro recalls his battle with Bahamut and becomes reluctant.

I can't master the Brujnak at this point. I need to train in the dungeon."

Then use this."

　Luberti took out an elixir made from Goltsberg's blood.

The magic level of Goltsberg's offensive magic was '32', right? Then I can learn 'Black Hole,' which can be acquired at magic level 31.

　The "Black Hole," a magic that creates a pseudo-black hole, was a magic that even the Demon King had defeated before.
