3 Episode 3 The hope of escape has come to light.txt




 The walls of the labyrinths in the dungeons are known to be extremely difficult to break.

 While it was still barely possible in low-ranked dungeons, the walls of high-ranked dungeons were so strong that it was difficult to open even a small hole in them.

 And when it came to this 'Thousand Year Corridor of the Abyss', even the brave man's all-out attack didn't leave a single scratch.

''It's not a ...... dream, is it? My skills broke the walls of the labyrinth ...... with my skills, didn't they ......!

 I've never heard of such a crazy event in my fifteen years as an adventurer.

 I couldn't stop my heart from racing and stuck my hand into the shattered remains of the wall to feel it.

''Hahaha! What is this? You're not a rock! It's like metal! So all that stone stuff is just on the surface! No wonder it must be so hard to die!

 Even in the dim light of the luminous moss, you can see the remnants glistening and shining.

 It's like pure silver powder.
 I don't know what kind of metal it is, but I can't help but notice the glow.

 Just as the initial excitement subsided, another new idea hit me.

'Wait for ....... This means, I don't know why, but it means that the [Restoration] skill has been empowered ...... Perhaps there are more uses for it ......?

 It doesn't mean that the power that destroyed the wall has an effective use.
 Such an ability is obviously powerful without even thinking about it.

 What I came up with was the possibility that it could be able to do other things besides this.

 Being able to destroy objects with the 【Restoration】 skill is an impossible thing to think of in common sense.

 Is it because of the effects of being pushed to extremes, or is it because he's been wandering around the mysterious labyrinth for so long?
 It doesn't matter why now.
 There's no way to know, even if you think about it.

 What is important is that we can now do the "impossible" of destroying objects.

 Then there is no denying the possibility that other 'impossible' things are possible.

'...... It's worth a try, right? You can't survive if you don't do everything you can anyway. First, go to .......

 I thrust the iron sword, whose blade was thinned after being used up, against the pile of wreckage of the disintegrated labyrinth wall.

''Activate the skill, begin [Repair]!

 The [Restoration] skill cannot create things from nothing, and the missing part needs to be made up using the same material to fill in the missing part.

 If you don't use materials, you will use other parts of the tool - in the case of a sword, the unspoiled part of the sword blade.

 Therefore, the more you do [restoration] without the material, the more fragile it becomes.

 However, not everything can be used as material.
 At the very least, it should be the same material as the part you want to repair.

 For example, you can't make up for the blade spill of an iron sword with copper.

"(If you were able to do that 'impossible thing' as well ...... If you were able to [repair] the sword with the walls of the labyrinth, which even a brave man can't hurt ......)

 This sword must be a powerful weapon.

 --It was a different response than [Restoration] without materials.

 This is the only feeling that only those who have mastered the same skill can understand.
 It's difficult to explain it to anyone.

 Anyway, you can feel the sensation when the material makes up for the damaged parts.

 Eventually, the nondescript iron sword was transformed into an alloy with the walls of the labyrinth by my skills.

'It's done ...... should be done, right?'

 The brilliance of the blade seems to be a far cry from what it was earlier.

 Looking for something I could try and cut, I turned my attention to the long sword that the corpse that was about to turn into a skeleton was holding.

 Normally, an iron sword would not be able to cut an iron sword with an iron sword.
 Plus, I don't have that kind of fighting skill, so it should be even more impossible.

 But I had a feeling I could do it now.

''Seiya!''

 I swung my sword down on the long sword propped up against the wall.

 The blade was about halfway down the blade, and there was not a single blade spill.

 This is what happens when I swing it with amateurish movements.

 I'm sure you'll be able to see the power of the sword when wielded by a legitimate user, and that's what makes my body tremble with excitement.

''I'm starting to feel like I can survive this ...... this, ......!

 I have an inexhaustible supply of motivation that has been missing for a long time.
 If the motivation from earlier was a dying candle, it's now a pillar of fire that reaches to the clouds.

 I moved to the other side of the hole and then [repaired] the hole in the wall.

 Of course, I won't forget to collect the remnants of the wall in the sachet I picked up in the labyrinth.

''There's no need to make a big hole in anything. Just drilling a small hole and checking the other side makes a huge difference ......!

 Pulling on the effects of my newly awakened 【Restoration】 skills, I walked away from the dungeon.

 I've decided to call them 【Degradation】 and 【Synthesis】.

 There may be skills with similar effects, but I'm sure I'm the only one in this world who can achieve that with the 【Restoration】 skill.

 It's not that I'm overly self-conscious or overrated.

 It's just that it was inherently impossible for me to be convinced like this.

'Yes. Can this kind of thing work?

 I suddenly thought of it and tried to channel my magic power to try to [decompose] the luminous moss.

 But the result was unresponsive.

''Huh? I see. ...... creatures have magical resistance, right? Will you be resisted if you try to [disassemble] it? Why don't you turn up the power a little more ......?

 When I poured in the magic power with a lot of energy, the luminous moss was finally [broken down] into a powdery object.

'Hmm, that's not very efficient. If it's moss and this is the case, then the 【Degradation】 of animals seems to be a high degree of difficulty. In the first place, 【Restoration】 doesn't work on living things, so it's no wonder that 【Degradation】 of living things is so difficult.

 For now, I will [synthesize] the powder of luminous moss on the knife I picked up a while ago.
 The knife-shaped lighting that emits light from the blade is complete.

 There's no particular point in using the knife as a synthetic material.
 I just used it because I happened to have it on hand at just the right time.

 Then, after breaking through a few walls, the long-awaited object jumps in front of you.

'There it is! Stairs!

 I forgot my hunger and ran up the narrow stairs, almost falling over and over.

 I could see a light at the end of the stairs.
 I wasn't sure if that was the light outside the dungeon or just a bright hierarchy.

 But no matter which one of the light's identity is, it doesn't change what I'm going to do.
 I jumped into the light at full speed, and it was--.
