Episode 61 Fifth floor's cave

We hunted twenty-one BigSheep that day. However, no dungeon error occurred. After returning to the ground and changing clothes at the dungeon house, I parted with Shou and the others.

The next day, I went to the armor shop. After receiving a warning from Shou, I decided to buy new equipment. I wasn't sure if I should go for Ogre's leather armor or ArmorBoar's leather armor, but I chose ArmorBoar's leather armor. It was expensive, but I couldn't skimp on armor.(TN:Do you even get hit dude?)

After buying new leather armor, we dove into the dungeon once very two days and continued hunting BigSheep. And by the time half a month had passed, a dungeon error had occurred three times.

Perhaps because we've been hunting BigSheep for the past half month, the encounter rate with BigSheep had dropped. Apparently we have to find prey other than BigSheep.

Yui spoke to me when we were circling the 4th floor in search of the BigSheep.

"Grimm-sensei, I can now use 'Cone Arrow', 'Push' and 'Swing'. What do you think I should learn next?"

Yui's Life Magic was magic level 4.

"I think 'Blade' or 'Javelin' would be good next, but you can't learn those two unless you're magic level 5. You'll have to go up one more. Instead, you should practice TriplePush and TripleArrow quick shot."

I went to a nearby tree and fired a TripleArrow twice almost immediately. Seeing the two scars on the tree trunk in an instant, Yui widened her eyes.

"Amazing, the reason you can instantly activate magic is because you practice like this."

Susumu was looking for BigSheep while Yui was admiring me.

"It's no good. They're not here."

Shou frowned and let out a sigh.

"Haah, I guess we have to find other prey. What kind of monster do you think would be good?"

Susumu chose candidates among the monsters in the Suigetsu Dungeon.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"I think the KingSnake on the 6th floor is the most lucrative one. Because it drops a red magic stone ."

Shou looked displeased. It seemed that Shou also disliked snakes.

"If KingSnake is the opponent, the question is whether we can win."

I can win if I fight while defending with 'Auto Shield'. But for Shou and the others it would be difficult. Sensing Shou's reluctance, Susumu suggested the following.

"How about the LizardSoldiers in the cave on the fifth floor?"

"Nn? Was there a cave on the 5th floor?"

When I asked him while tilting my head, Susumu proudly puffed out his chest.

"You didn't know. There are three big trees, right? There's a cave in the back of the big tree in the middle."

I didn't know because I went to the 6th floor as soon as I found the stairs. The LizardSoldier drops a red magic stone . It may be good because it can be redeemed at a high price.

"But, LizardSoldiers are pretty tough. And the cave is pitch black."

Shou pointed out. LizardSoldier is an orthodox swordsman. I didn't realize it when I encountered it in a bright place, but it had the ability to sense heat, and it was said to be good at fighting in the dark.

"Shall we go?"

Yui suggested. Shou and Susumu agreed, so we decided to go to the 5th floor.

We went down to the 5th floor and headed towards the big tree in the middle. The trees that grew in this forest area had acorn-like fruits, but they were not edible to humans.

We encountered a BattleMonkey. This was a small gorilla-like monster. The attack that BattleMonkeys were good at was grabbing the limbs of the enemy and swinging them around. If you kill it before it grabs you, there's no problem.

Shou shot at it with a magic bullet and killed it. We encountered Orcs and DarkTigers, but we were able to kill them with plenty of time to spare. After all, if you are working as a team, it is easy and good.

"I can see it. It's the cave."

Susumu raised his voice. A cave could be seen in a place like a hill. When I looked inside, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Yui activated 'Light'.

The reason I used Night Vision Goggles was because 'Light' had a flaw. The ball of light disappeared when hit. If I were the enemy, I would first strike the ball of light and erase it, then attack the enemy.

"Hee, are those Night Vision Goggles a Magic Tool?"

Shou said enviously.

"Oh, the ball of light is vulnerable to impact. Come on, let's go."

Shou and Susumu took out small flashlights and turned them on. They chose flashlights over headlamps because headlamps changed direction with the slightest movement of the head. Then you might lose sight of your enemies. That's why they chose a flashlight.(TN:Because losing use of ONE HAND is better than learning to control your head ... Yeah ...)

When I entered the cave, I checked the size. The cave was about two meters high and three meters wide.

"Somewhere in this cave, there is a rumor that a treasure chest can be found."

Susumu was relatively well-informed. He seemed to have done a lot of research about the dungeon.

"But, I think someone already took the contents."

"Dungeon treasure chests will be replenished after a certain amount of time, even if someone takes the contents."

Shou told me. What, that's a nice system.

The silhouette of an enemy was reflected in my Night Vision Goggles.

"The enemy. Be careful."

I readied my Tatakanata. The enemy was a LizardSoldier. Susumu attacked first. Fighting with a flashlight in one hand seemed to be a disadvantage.

Susumu and the LizardSoldier fought fiercely with their swords.

"Get back!"

When I shout, Susumu jumps back. At that moment, QuadPush knocked the LizardSoldier away.

When Shou saw that, he fired a magic bullet. The magic bullet pierced the LizardSoldier's chest. And the battle was decided.

The LizardSoldier's corpse disappeared, leaving behind a red magic stone . Yui picked it up.

"Susumu, doesn't it seem difficult to fight?"

Susumu made a bitter face when I asked.

"Isn't there a magic that lets you see in the dark among the magic spells?"

Yui asked.

"Yes, but I haven't learned it yet."

I took off my Night Vision Goggles and handed them to Susumu.

"It can't be helped, so please use this."

"Will you lend it to me. Thank you."

If Susumu, who acted as the shield, couldn't demonstrate his ability, his strength would be halved. It couldn't be helped.
