69 Episode 68 That Medicine




I can't help it. We'll take it from here.

All right. That's what I want.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

As soon as I gave them permission to fight, the Caucasus and Belzebub flew away as if they had been waiting for me.


Today, one night after arriving at the capital.
We went to the dungeon ...... early in the morning, and made repeated transitions to the 290th level.

Of course, before we started, I used my clairvoyance to make sure that the demons that would be the materials for the awakening evolution of the [mechanism] I wanted were on the bottom level.

I was going to go all the way down to the lowest level and just kill the labyrinth master, but ...... Caucasus and the others said they wanted to enjoy the dungeon to some extent, so I decided to start at the 10th level of the lowest level as a compromise.


"That's it!
"Yes! Let's go!

The two of them were in such a state that as soon as they encountered a demon, they immediately took care of it.


It's a good thing there are 290 levels, because the demons here are stronger than any of the demons in the labyrinth attached to the Elite Academy.
The more levels a dungeon has, the smaller the increase in strength per level, so it's not simply three times as strong. ...... Still, it's certainly stronger than the Surt.

The strength of the ...... opponent is probably equal to that of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
If you're that strong, you're going to want to take a look at this.

If they're that strong, it would be nice if these monsters could be used as materials for awakening and evolving.
Well, it's no use coveting, so let's just leave it at that.


"Valius. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

'Yes, yes.

I invoked my storage spell and stored them all away.


...... What should I do with this?
It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web and also to make sure you're getting the most out of it.

The only way to use it is to convert it into a tasty seasoning.

No, ...... I'll just leave it with Tyrion as a demonstration material for the Qilin summoning.

I've been thinking about how to use the corpses of many demons like that as I walked down the stairs to the 291st level.



And so we went.



After all that, we made it to level 296.

Like the 290th level, the 291st to 295th levels are also "two fighting. When a certain amount of enemy corpses accumulate, we store them all together," we repeated, and steadily attacked.

I wanted to get to the lower levels as quickly as possible, so I used my clairvoyance to check the shortest path, and told them which way to go.

And now.
The 296th level here ...... was a little different from the previous levels.
So far, only animal-type demons have appeared, but in ...... this level, plant-type demons have appeared.

"Menkiv Flower," he said.

That's what I muttered to myself when I saw it.


I'm not sure what to make of it.
It's a sunflower-shaped demon whose seeds are the source of many valuable potions.

Its most notable feature is its bullet attack, which sends seeds flying at such high speeds that the surrounding air turns into plasma through adiabatic compression.
The seeds used in the attack are no longer usable as materials, so it is important to defeat it before it notices your presence.

However, ...... the current Caucasians are sturdy enough to withstand even the Menkiv Flower's powerful bullet attacks, so they may try to attack the Menkiv Flower head-on.

With that in mind, I decided to give them both one instruction.

"Caucasus, Belzebub ......, I'm sorry, but I'll take care of this level. You'll need to be a little creative in how you defeat these enemies to gather materials efficiently.

"If that's the case, I guess I'll just have to do it.
"Hey.

When I asked, both Caucasus and Belzebub immediately agreed.
Let's get started.

"Rather cut. "Rather cut. ......

As I chanted, I took out my Lunametal sword from my storage spell and let the divine power flow through it, while also using my clairvoyance to set my sights behind the Menkiv Flower.

And ......

"...... Ultimate, etc.

As you move, I finished my chanting and flashed my Lunametal sword across the section created by the ...... cutting magic.


It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


The Menkiv Flower is terribly hard and has an unbelievable regenerative ability.
Even if you tried to cut it with a Lunametal sword, the blade probably wouldn't go through, and you'd have to say, "如是切. "如是切. 如是断. If you only use "如是切. 如是断. 如是本末究竟等", you may be able to cut, but the cross-section will be regenerated in a tenth of a second.

This is the reason why I needed to use a two-stage approach to cut it off.


I returned to the place where Caucasus and Belzebub were with the freshly cut Menkiv Flower.
I then peeled the seeds from the flower while letting it dry with magic.


.......
Belzebub, who was watching, said something like this.

"You know, when I saw these seeds, I thought to myself: ....... I think I can make that potion with just these seeds if I'm good enough now.


...... What's that potion?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

Belzebub is a hardcore genius when it comes to chemical change magic, so I thought it might be worth a try.

Since he says "with his current abilities", he's probably planning to create a high-level potion that he couldn't create before because of his awakened evolution.

You can use this, then.

I gave half of the harvested seeds to Belzebub in an empty bottle that I took out of my storage spell.



I gave it to him.



And I waited for about 30 minutes.

"It's done!

Belzebub held up the jar with great enthusiasm and showed it to me.



I thought to myself, "Let's see," and checked the contents of the bottle.


...... Oh, that's the elixir.
