<h1>Getting the Last Item on the 1st Floor (2)</h1>
These are the stairs to the third treasure room…..
This would have been my final destination after following a lot of twists and turns. Staring at the entrance which leads to an area down below. I looked back towards the map I created on my smartphone; I seem to be right in the middle of the 1st floor.
If I plotted a straight line exactly from the entrance up to here the distance would be roughly 200 meters.
This is definitely the staircase leading to the 2nd floor. It literally is in the middle of the 1st floor……or maybe not exactly in the middle.
Looking at the end of the staircase, various thoughts ran through my head. Although this place seems to be created a certain way, It’s no lie that this passage is in the center.
Would everything beyond the 2nd floor will be like this, with the staircase being in its center? If that’s true, then exploring the next floor would be so much easier.
.…..For the time being, let’s not explore what’s below.
Turning away from the 2nd floor’s entrance, I face back towards the 1st floor. Before going down, as a priority, I wanted to get the last item on the 1st floor. Since I’m right by the 2nd Floor’s entrance, I could always just find the 1st Floor’s last item and if need be dive straight into the 2nd Floor to escape.
I’ll just search for the last item and explore the rest of what’s on the 1st Floor. And I’ve already mapped out most of the 1st Floor anyway so there will be no issue of missing an area for exploration.
It seems the only spot I haven’t explored was the center left side, according to my map. So, there’s a high chance the treasure chest would be there.
Moving silently through the dungeon, I make each step with caution.
And after a few minutes of walking――
Hey, it’s the last room…..
Just like before I come across an unreasonably large entrance from the passage I was exploring. It matches the two other small rooms that, I’ve entered before.
I couldn’t hold back the excitement that ran through me. By all accounts and what I’ve experienced so far, there is definitely a treasure chest in there.
I rushed inside but keeping in mind the existence of a monster, I carefully observed the place.
And just as I had assumed….! There’s a lamenting Raccoon Dog right there guarding the treasure!
The center of the room held a treasure chest. And right next to it was another creature that I’ve come across before. From this, I can finally conclude, that with every treasure chest there will always be a monster within the small room. And if I want to grab what’s inside, then I just need to be ready to face it.
Pulling out my knife from its sheath, I close one eye. Observing the Raccoon Dog in the small room…….It’s Lv was 3. I just fought a Level 4 Raccoon Dog not long ago, in a single blow at that, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
Making my way into the small room, and appeared directly in front of this Raccoon Dog. It was impossible to sneak behind it, as it was always focused in my direction from the start.
Noticing me the moment I entered, It raises a battle cry to intimidate me. It didn’t seem to watch the entrance but, turned my way the moment I stepped foot in the room.
I should move quickly and strike for its head. With no room for hesitation, I move forward, but if there’s a chance that I may get hurt, I will retreat right away….
Focusing on how I’ll make my attack, I try to put it into action. My whole being was considerably calm, probably due to the combat experience I’ve gained thus far. It may have also been a reaction to my enemy’s weak response.
Dashing toward it in no time. The Raccoon Dog, raises one of its arms in response to my attack.
But, what happened next exceeded my expectations. While it tried to intercept my knife, it was unable to prevent it from sinking deep into its skull.
There was a definite moment of contact. As my knife ran through the bottom of its snout through its chin and towards the center of its head. I could feel some resistance, as I struck its bone as well.
The Raccoon Dog, grabs at the base of the wound with both hands. Twisting my knife I pull downward, as my enemy moves back in agony.
The Raccoon Dog mires in its misery, groaning before it bursts into particles of light. Verifying that it was gone, I placed my knife back into its sheath. It was a complete victory.
If that’s what it takes, then the first strike in combat is the most effective….
Reflecting on the battle not long ago, I came to the conclusion that critical attacks make a huge difference. I’m not sure how effective it will be on enemies of the 2nd Floor, but at least for now, a quick attack on the enemy is really effective.
Attacking a monster first is almost a sure-fire win, and even if they respond back, I will just have to counter-attack them. It was only when I fought the Blue Rose bush, where I had trouble.
I wonder what might happen on the 2nd Floor. Hopefully, I won’t have to come across a troublesome opponent this soon.
I move towards the treasure chest with a little apprehension. Now that the battle is over, let’s check what’s inside. Slowly opening the lid of the chest, my heart races with high hopes at what could be inside.
And what was inside was――
A bottle with some kind of liquid?….. What are these….instructions?
Inside the chest lay a transparent bottle along with a piece of paper similar to the other treasure chests. The bottle itself was about the size of a nutritional energy shot, with a colorless liquid swishing about.
I wonder if this is like a medicine potion or something. Picking up the note that was inside, I read the description to myself.
When a woman drinks up to 10mL of this essence, they will have an irresistible urge to drink a man’s semen. For the desire to subside, it requires a man’s full ejaculatory load.
