Dungeon attack, Day 4.

The fourth layer.



Inside the treasure chest was a long sword.
A straight sword for one hand. The same kind as a longsword.

It's a sword, Ra!
'It's a sword, Prine.

I take it in my hand. It looks like a longsword, but it is lighter and seems to be made of a different material.

The knowledgeable Prine says to me.

Isn't this mithril silver?
'Really?'

Equip it and check its status.


Name: Rana Prata
Human: Lv 89
Warrior: Lv 13

H P: 180
M P: 0
Attack Power: 91 + 18 (mithril sword)
Defense: 89 + 12 (initial, armor set)

Skills: [Breathing], can inhale and exhale.


The equipment column reads "Mithril Sword". Its attack power is 18. 6 more than a long sword.

That's Prine, you're right.
'Really? Yay!

I shake it with a whirlwind. It's light. But reliable.
Let's give it a try.

Stand back.
'Yeah.'

--Attack!

He performs a battle move on the spot. It's a bare hand.

Bloop!

A sharp swing. But .......

'I don't think I can take this one.
How long?''
The first shot will probably break it. It looks more fragile than Elena's steel sword.
'Mithril silver is better for magic than for rigidity.
''Is that so?''
'Yeah. If you have it forged, it might have magical properties?''
That's interesting.

I'll make it my main weapon for now. I only had a shortsword.
I put the longsword in the scabbard it came in.

Then let's move on.
Yes!

After that, we continued to get treasure chests.

'Poison remover!
Potion!
'Mage's cloak!
'Dagger!
'Martial arts suit!
Buckler!

I wear a round shield slightly larger than my palm--a small shield called a buckler--on my left hand. It is not much of a defense, but it can be used as a parry.
Prine puts on a black mage's cloak over her gothic dress. It looks heavy, but it is not.

It looks like this is the last of the treasure chests on this floor.
'Yes! That's what I'm talking about, Ra! My shifu skills are shining!
'Ha ha ha! More praise.'
'Cool! Amazing! I'm so excited!

The treasure hunt lvl 3 helped a lot.

'Well, let's go dig for ore.
Let's go!



At the end of the forest was a hill.
At the foot of it was a glistening rock face.
We bring the guiding stone closer. The closer I get, the brighter the rock becomes.

That's it.
'You've found it!

In fact, I put down the basket I had been carrying all along and picked up my ice axe.
I give the glistening part a tap to test it out.

KATSUNG!

Falling.

A lump of soil fell. I pick it up and remove the soil from the surface, and a green stone comes out from inside.
The induction stone glows intensely. They are the same color.
I am sure that this is the elutra ore.



'All right, let's dig until our baskets are full. Prine, watch for monsters around you.
'Yes! Good luck, Ra!

Katsun.
Katsun.
Katsun.
Katsun.

Digging madly. Come to think of it, I don't see any other adventurers here to pick elktra ore. Does it depend on the day?

Katsun.
Katsun.
Katsun.
Katsun.

Wipe the sweat off your face. The basket is about a third full. And then something got caught in the detector. A monster.
I call out to Prine, who is squatting next to me, scribbling something on the ground.

What kind of formula is that ......?
It's a formula. It's a magic formula. I can put magic in it beforehand and release it at any time I want.
'That's amazing. I've never heard of such a thing.
'I read about it in an old book. I don't know if it works or not. ......'
'Let's get on with it. Monsters are coming.
'What, really? Where is it?
'That way.'

And point.

A green-skinned monster about the size of a child.
Three goblins appear across the stream.

'Wah wah wah wah wah ......!

Prine is freaked out. I call out to her.

What kind of magic can you shoot with that technique?
'Huh, let's see, Firelight, maybe?'
'That'll take down a goblin. Then let's run away.
'You're running away!
'You're trying to see if you can use it as a trap, aren't you? If you run that way, they'll come after you. Try activating it when they come through here.
I see... I see...

They see us, grrrrr ......! Goblins come running.
Prine and I ran in the opposite direction and hid behind a hill.

I take out a hand mirror from the sheaf's toolbox and look at the goblins.
They were right on our tail. I wait for the right moment to give a signal to Prine.

Will it work?
Nervous Prine is holding her short stick tightly.

Just before the goblin passes over the formula, I give the signal to Prine.

I gave Prine a signal just before the goblin passed over the formula.

Almost at the same time as Prine's whisper, a fireball shot out from the technique. It swallows the goblin whole and turns it into charcoal.

Success, Prine!
'Yes! It's done!
Next, kill the rest!
Yes!

Prine jumps out of the shadows and casts a spell on the two goblins, who are flustered by the sudden attack.

Cleave, demon particles! Pyro Ray!

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Straight flames licked the goblins and extinguished them.
Victory!

Yay!
Yay!

Prine and I high-five.
Well, well, I'm feeling pretty confident now.

I go back to the pickup point and tell Prine with a nickel in my hand.

I'll dig again, and you go ahead and draw the formula.
I'll take care of it!

From then on, until noon, I dug for ore and Prine painted the formulas.
Sometimes monsters came, but I never let go of my nickel, because Prine would burn them just by passing over the formula.

And then, noon.
I am very happy to see my basket full of eltra ore.

'Thank you, Prine. Let's go home.
'Yes! I can fire 20 more shots of Firelight!
You have high MP, don't you?
'That's all there is to it, ehehehe.

Prine smiles shyly.
After we had retrieved the ore and treasure chests, we took the shortest route to the save point and returned to the guild.

We receive our status sheets.
I had gained two levels, and Prine had gained one.

'Hah! Lah, you'll be level 20 in 5 days! That's great!
'You're up a level too. And you're learning new magic again.

The two of us look at each other's sheets and talk.
Of course, secretly, so that no one sees us.

After lunch, we head for the workshop at the end of the shopping street,

'--? You brought it already? How fast is too fast! It would take three days to get a job when you're dealing with monsters!

Elena greeted us with a face like a pigeon that had been hit by a peashooter.
I'm sorry, but our mages are great.

Come on, let's get your sword in shape!

No, no... I don't want you to just stand there...

As I sat in a chair in the workshop and watched the work begin, Elena laughed at me.

'It will take a week to train them,' she said.
'Are you serious?
'Of course not.
''I didn't expect this.''
'I'll forge you the best sword I know, you just wait till then.

Well, what do we do now?
