Holiday ,Dungeon
I started exploring the 20th floor.
It was an ordinary cave up to the 20th floor, but the forest suddenly spread from the 20th floor.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t know what happened either.
I thought the stairs were rather long, but the ceiling was extremely high and there were trees like a tropical country.
It looks and feels completely like Amazon. I’ve never been there, but it’s just an image.
The temperature and humidity are very high. The discomfort index is amazing.
In addition to beasts such as wolves and bears, tropical crocodile monsters often appeared.
And there are a lot of moving trees, Trenant.
As for how many, about a quarter of the jungle is made up of Trenant.
There is not much danger because only monsters that can be defeated with a single blow with swords or magic are still available, but it is a little troublesome because there are many.
However, it’s no use not to defeat it, so I will defeat the monsters I see as much as possible.
By the way, I’m not taking all the materials.
Recently, I’ve been getting the guild’s dismantling ground to operate at full capacity, so I try to collect only the demon core except for the monsters that are useful materials.
Therefore, I am not in trouble with money.
The reason why I’m defeating monsters is because of training.
It is often rumored among adventurers that the more monsters you defeat, the stronger they become.
It’s just a rumor because it has no scientific basis and can’t be proved … I have ā€œinsight.ā€
When I repeatedly verified my status before and after defeating the monster, defeated it, and confirmed it, it was found that the status increased after defeating the monster, albeit in a small amount.
And the rate of increase seems to be declining year by year.
Perhaps it’s something that younger people get after defeating monsters, I think it is more efficient to absorb what I call experience points.
Therefore, I try to hunt the monsters I see as much as possible.
In that respect, the labyrinth is perfect for training.
The more you hunt, the more rewards you get, the more monsters you can hunt, and the more you hunt, the easier it is to hunt in large numbers because they are densely packed in a small space.
It’s too delicious to earn experience and money.
Then, when I was emptied of my heart and cut through the Amazon layer, I had reached the front of the boss room before I knew it.
I take a short break and step into the boss room without any hesitation.
There was a giant tree with a big trunk about 2 meters in diameter and a large number of crocodiles.
The giant tree in the center is Elder Trenant, and the surrounding crocodiles are Death Alligator.
When I step into the room, Death Alligators flock with tremendous momentum.
I know I can’t lose in terms of ability, but honestly I’m a little scared.
…… I’m building a pile of Death Alligator’s corpses with lightning magic and a sword, but there is no sign of any decrease.
Apparently Elder Trenant is summoning it.
Is it the type that summons the surroundings infinitely … First of all, it seems that you have to hit the main ball.
While slashing Death Alligators, he forcibly runs to Elder Trent.
However, it is not so easy, and Elder Trenant treats countless branches like spears and barrages them.
And the large number of Death Alligators around him also aggressively attack, so he can’t get close to Elder Trent.
Yeah, it’s a hassle!
ā€œThunderboltā€
The lightning strike generated by magic was sucked into Elder Trenant and made a roaring noise.
Elder Trenant was burnt from the inside by lightning and silenced with a single blow.
The Death alligators are staring at Elder Trenant, who was defeated in a single blow.
Is it okay to look at such a time?
To the stunned Death Croconaw, I used Thunder Rain, And hunted out.
When I went to the 30th floor, the ground was muddy.
There are puddles and swamps here and there.
And gas is blowing out from some parts of the ground.
……odor.
Going a little further, there were Death Alligators in the swamp.
I knocked it down in the boss room, so I knocked it down without any emotion.
There were also mud-covered slimes, mud golems, and big lizards that spit poison.
I reached the stairs on the 31st floor, but I felt sick because of the smell and the gas that was blowing out.
The monsters are getting stronger, and there are many monsters that are hard to attack physically, and the speed of annihilation is slowing down, so it seems to be difficult to get down to the 40th floor by the end of today.
I have a feeling that I want to work overtime a little more, but I feel uncomfortable and go home today …
Next time, I have to remember the gas measures.
I haven’t met, but some people are exploring this area, and there should be some countermeasure items.
If not, I have no choice but to wrap the cloth around my mouth for the time being.
I returned without descending to the 31st floor, and returned to the ground at the labyrinth transfer board.
I thought I’d go to the Adventurer’s Guild to get a reward, but my body smelled.
I didn’t mind because the whole space smelled in the labyrinth, but when I went out to the ground, I found that my body was smelling.
The receptionist brother also frowned and went away softly. I’ll cry.
I wanted to take a bath right away, but I didn’t want to go back to the dormitory and meet my classmates, so I bought soap nuts at the general store in front of the labyrinth and washed my body and clothes in the river.
Soap nuts are small, light-colored nuts that, when broken, replace soap.
Soap is available in this country, but it’s reasonably expensive, so female adventurers wash their bodies with cheap soap nuts.
I went to the Adventurer’s Guild to get a reward, wondering if I could get rid of the smell.
ā—†
ā€œsniff … Sirius-kun, it smells a little … Did you go up to the thirty levels?ā€
While saying such a thing, Celia handles the paperwork.
I thought that the smell wasn’t completely removed, but it’s quite a shock to be told by a beautiful woman that it smells …
ā€œThere’s a layer over there, odorous gas is coming out … I didn’t stay for that long, but I still couldn’t get rid of the odor ā€¦ā€
ā€œIf you go to the thirty floors and smell like this, you’re pretty good. It’s said that if you dive there for three days, you can’t get rid of the smell for three weeks … That’s why most adventurers can only search on the 30th floor and above. ā€œ
ā€œThat gas is pretty tough, isn’t it … Isn’t there any countermeasure item?ā€
ā€œYes. If it’s cheap, it’s a mask, if it’s expensive, it’s a magic stone of the wind. It’s weak against the gas there, but it seems to contain toxic components, and a mask can’t completely prevent it. It’s good for a short time. But if you want to dive for a long time, I recommend the wind magic stone. ā€œ
ā€œThat’s right, thank you. Even so, it looks good, but that floor.ā€
ā€œWell, deeper than the thirty levels is at least a level that you can search for at a B rank party. If you reach B rank, there are many more fruitful jobs without having to bother to explore the muddy labyrinth. Yeah.
In particular, that royal capital labyrinth is for beginners because the exploration by the country is very advanced and the mapping is precise, but there are no new discoveries and the taste of diving deep is thin. So senior-ranked people will either move on to other, more fruitful requests, or set out in search of a labyrinth that hasn’t been explored by the country. ā€œ
I see, so that labyrinth is for beginners, so there are few adventurers in the lower floors …
Moreover, since the National Labyrinth Strategy Corps is attacking a considerable number, it is meaningless for adventurers to do their best to dive.
I don’t feel like stopping the capture halfway, and I don’t want to stop the labyrinth capture because I want to try and see how far I can go.
ā€œReward is … Oh! you have already accumulated points for promotion to C rank !? As usual, the number of monsters subdued … you’re really enthusiastic about work … It’s helpful as a guild, but if you work too much with such a small body, you’ll die from overwork. ? ā€œ
ā€œHaha … be careful ā€¦ā€
I’m really overworked once, so I can’t laugh too much.
Well, I’m a person who hasn’t worked at all compared to those days, and I don’t think I’ll die from overwork at this level.
Humans can work more if they feel like it.
ā€œThen, Sirius Astel will be certified as C rank from today!ā€
ā€œYes, thank you!ā€
Celia corrected her appearance and gave a new guild card.
At the time of D rank, the card was dull copper color, but the C rank card was a little dark iron-like color.
I think it’s not bad for the adventurer-like coloring that feels rugged.
When it reaches the C rank, it becomes a rank that can be trusted by the client.
Generally, F is an amateur E, and D is seen as a beginner and a low-ranking adventurer, but when it comes to C, it seems that he has a decent track record and ability.
By the way, B rank is enough to be regarded by aristocrats, and A rank is a level that can be regarded by senior aristocrats and small royal families.
The S rank is said to be able to communicate with the royal family on an equal footing.
There are SS rank and SSS rank in the system, but it seems that it is rare.
In fact, there are currently no SSS-ranked adventurers, and it seems that a brave man from decades ago has been certified … at the urban legend level.
Well, that’s a story that has nothing to do with me.
ā€œIf you get promoted with this momentum, you’ll soon be ranked A. It’s promising in the future … I have to make a move now ā€¦ā€
ā€œHmm? Did you say something?ā€
ā€œNothing. Ufufufuā€
For some reason, he was sent off by Celia, who had a fearless smile, and left the adventurer’s guild.
