21 Episode 7: The End of the Battle of Dungeon




 
 It's been one night since the day we took down the Rock Bird on the 40th floor.

 Now I'm having breakfast with my grandpa in the empty dining room.
 The menu is one crumbly loaf of bread: ....

 As I munch on it, I'm checking my status.
 I wonder how far I've come after defeating the rock bird?

 wise man

 I'm 8 years old and I don't think this level is a good idea... (I don't care about the status anymore.)

 Also, Elena's level had gone up as well .


 She can telepathize with her owner.
 It absorbs a large amount of its owner's magical power to enhance its sharpness and durability.
 The ability to do it increases as you level up.
 We have the ability to repair ourselves.
 Lv.3... restores its owner's health by attacking it.
 Creator: Leons Forster

 This ability may not be much of a need for me right now: .....
 I have a tremendous amount of strength.
 And I haven't gotten any attacks since I entered the dungeon.
 Well, I guess it's a good thing that I have: .....


 Then you finish your breakfast, gear up, and get ready to go.
Well, let's get going.
 We left the 40th floor.

 When we got to the 41st floor and were walking out.
 Suddenly, the entire aisle was lit up red.

 This is .... Wannateras.

Grandpa, stop!

Oh, what's that red stuff?

These lights illuminate the trap area in red.

'Well, if it wasn't for this, I would have been caught off guard and touched the trap: .....
 It really is: ....
 This number was definitely touched.

'But how did it come out of nowhere when it wasn't there before?

'I suppose that was meant to be a trap to catch you off guard.

'That's scary. .... We'll have to proceed with caution for now.

We'll have to do that.

 Then I carefully avoided the red marks on the ground and walls and everywhere else.
 And this floor is where the gargoyles came from: .....
 A gargoyle looks like a stone statue that flies in the sky.

'Huh, this is the swordsman-killer's floor.

What do you mean?

"Swordsmen have to get close to each other to beat them.

Yes.
 You have to get close enough to hit him.

And if he's a flying man, you have to move for it.

Oh, okay. So there's a chance you'll walk into a trap for that.

That's what I mean.

Then I'll take them all out with my magic.

'This might be aimed at reducing the magic of the wizard, but I don't think it has anything to do with Leo.

Yes.

 As soon as I say that, I'll shoot earth magic at the gargoyle .
 ..... But the gargoyle easily avoided it.

''Really? ....
 You're going to avoid it?

'Leo never practiced casting magic, so it's going to be hard to hit a smaller opponent, isn't it?
 Sure, people who can use magic normally practice guessing magic: .....

'What do I do: ....

I'm going to practice this too. Get the hang of casting magic here.

Yes?



 In the meantime, I'm going to build a lot of magic and shoot it at the gargoyles.
 ..... but I can't hit one again.

 How do I know if I'm going to guess?
 The first thing that comes to mind is to guess which way your opponent will move.
 The next thing I can think of is to speed up my magic.

 I decided to try them both at the same time.

 The fastest magic is wind magic.
 So I used more magic to create wind magic.
 And then it anticipates your opponent's movement and releases!

 Then I hit it cleanly and took out the gargoyle.

"You hit it pretty quick. Even for a very strong wizard, you can't hit a demon now, can you?

'It's because I've been training with my grandpa and I've learned to read his moves.

I see. It's just, that wind magic was pretty awesome, too.

Thank you.

 After that, I continued to keep an eye out for traps, and it took me about a week to get to the 45th floor.

 It took me a long time to avoid the traps, but it was getting wider and wider, so I could only advance one floor in a day.
 By the way, the gargoyles were dropping gems.
 This gem was so bright and beautiful.


 And now it's time to fight the boss.
Considering the difficulty level we've played so far, the enemy is quite strong this time.

I know.
 The difficulty suddenly increased from the 41st floor: .....

So be careful, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Let's go.


 I walked into the boss's office and saw a 20-foot-long dragon.
It's a wyvern.

Oh, my first dragon!

No, wyverns are weaker than dragons.

A wyvern isn't a dragon?

Yeah, you're a failure.

Oh, really?

If it was a dragon, me and the old lady could fight it off, but we wouldn't be able to defeat it.

The Dragon.
 She's a powerful demon.


"Gua~~~~~~~
 The wyvern howled.

'And the Wyvern is a guy I could just barely beat on my own, so watch out!

That's a strong enough wyvern!
 As I said that, I attacked with my recent favorite wind magic .

 The wyvern didn't try to avoid my magic, so the magic hit it cleanly .
 But it seems to do very little damage: ....

''This is great,''

"Use your magic as a distraction!

Okay. So let's put Elena to work for the first time in a while.

Will they finally let you use it?

I'm sorry. I'm going to use it all to my advantage.

 First, shoot water magic at the wyvern's eyes.
 After seeing it hit, he approached with all the speed he could muster and swung Elena off the wyvern's neck.
 Then, she succeeded in taking the wyvern's head off with ease.

.... Huh? I got it down~

I didn't see that speed, either.

 You know, I forgot (intentionally) forgot that my status was in jeopardy.
Le, it's your level.

'If you ask me, Leo took out all the dungeon bosses by himself.

'Yeah, right! We were in pretty deep.

I guess so. Do you think the next boss will be the last boss?

I hope so.
 Just as I was saying that, a large magical stone dropped from the wyvern.

It's been a long time since I've seen a magic stone this big.

Where did you see him before?

The Demon King's dungeon.

The Demon King's Magus?

It's not the Demon King, it's his guy.

What's going on with the Demon King's magic stone?

''I didn't see it because after I defeated the Demon King, I didn't take out the magic stone, I buried it in the Demon Forest.

I gave him a proper burial.
 I didn't expect it.
 Was he actually a good person?

Yes, and I needed proof that I had defeated the Demon King, so I made the Demon King's man a magic stone.

Heh.

Well then, I guess this dungeon is almost over, so let's go for it!

Yeah!

 I put a large magical stone in my backpack.



Come to think of it, are those pockets different space storage?

Yeah?

I knew it.

'Huh? Doesn't that surprise you?

I'm tired. ....
 Tired?
 I think Grandpa got tired of living in the dungeon for so long.

 Then we went into the tent to rest for the day.
 The next day, the attack on the 46th floor began.

 From the 46th floor, demons other than the bosses we've seen so far came out.
 All the monsters were high level and numerous.

 Then again, the size of each floor had increased again, and the number of traps had increased significantly: ....
 That's why it took me about 10 days to get to the boss's room on the 50th floor.

 And I'm probably here in front of the boss's room.
You're finally here.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

It took me roughly a month from the time I started attacking to get to this point?

That's probably the last of it.

Yeah, let's go in then.


 When I go in, there's a creepy humanoid monster.

 I'll get a closer look at it.
<Mad Demon, Lv. 80.
 Strength: 11,000
 Magic power: 12,000
 Power: 8,380
 Speed: 9300
 Luck: 30
 Attributes: Darkness
 skill
 Dark Magic Lv. 9.

 This one's as strong as my grandfather's heyday: .....

'This must be a daemon.'

I guess so.

Leo, this time it's my fight.

Okay.
 The reason is simple. The enemy is strong.

 Grandpa and I checked with each other and stood with the enemy.
 Then the Mad Demon grinned and disappeared into the darkness.

"Huh?

CLACK!
 I heard a sword clash from behind.

 I turned to see my grandfather guarding me from the Mad Demon's attack.
Grandpa!

''I'm an old man myself, but you can still use your limit breakthrough to fight with ten times your status!

 Then the daemon disappeared again.
Only, in about three minutes, the bonus time will end.

How come Grandpa can see the daemons?

"Mastering non-attribute magic strengthens your senses, too. So just aim for the spot where they come from and you can fight.

What do I do...

Build me something that will make me visible before my bonus is up!

Okay, okay.

 then
Kakin!
 Again, Grandpa protected me from the daemons.

Do it now, young man! Or we're both going to die!

Uh-huh.

 I hurriedly took out everything in my backpack that I could use.

 First, I poured all my magic power into the wyvern's magic stone.
 When I finished pouring the magic, I put the ingredients from the backpack together and quickly used my creation magic.

 Then, some of the ingredients will glow and mix with the magic stone.

 Then I waited for it to be completed, wishing it would hurry up: .....

 Looking at Grandpa, it was getting tougher and tougher to handle the daemon's attacks .

 Please be in time!

 Then the light subsided.
 The finished product was a pair of goggles, just like an airplane pilot wears.

 I slipped them on quickly.

 And then...
(Set the owner to Leon and start navigating.)

(Huh?)

(Enemies found, opponent shown)

 And then a demon appeared where there was none.

 Without questioning it, I cut the Mad Demon's head off in a hurry.

"Yay, you made it in time, Grandpa.
 He turns around and looks at his grandpa.

 Then Grandpa collapsed without power .....

"...... Grandpa?
