31-Art. 31. The Battle of the Fifth Layer and the Bos...





Dungeon attack, Day 5

Yo!

In the morning, Elena was waiting for me when I left the inn.
Surprised, I ask her.

What's wrong?
'Nothing to be concerned about.

Here," he said, handing me a long, thin bag. It is heavy.
I open the bag and take it out to find a stick with a faint greenish glow.

'Is this ...... eltra ore? I thought you said it would take a week. ......'
'It's unfinished. It's still bare. It's still just a cudgel.
''Are you sure it's safe?''
'Of course not.
'Then why ......'?
'I asked my sister in the guild about it, and she said you were going to attack the boss of the fifth layer, so I stayed up all night to get there.

Elena yawns sleepily.
Looking at the stick, it is indeed missing a blade. She is right, it is just a long club.

You knew we were going to challenge the 5th level, didn't you? Why are you in such a hurry ......?

After a groan,

I had a bad feeling about this, that's all I can say. I'm in the middle of training this guy, and I hear it coming from him. He wants me to take him with me as soon as possible. I don't care if I stay like this...'
'Can you hear that?'
No, it's my first time. I've never done that before.

So," nodded Elena.

'Take it anyway. If you don't use it, you don't need it. Well, all I can do is beat the shit out of it.
'Okay. ....... Thank you very much.'

With a strange feeling in my heart, I put the "El Torah Cudgel" in a bag and carried it.

'Oh, and a message from my sister in the guild.
''What is it?''

'--I'm sure you'll be fine, but watch out for bugs.
'What's a bug? ......'
'That thing in the dungeon, right? Well, I don't think it'll happen in the fifth level.

See you later," said Elena as she left.
As I watched her back, I remembered the word that Diego-sensei had told me.

The dungeon bug.

It is a phenomenon in which the map suddenly changes, the labyrinth moves, or monsters appear that are not supposed to be there, as if the dungeon has been eaten by insects. I don't know if it is God's mistake or something else, but it is still a nuisance.

I have heard that it usually occurs around the 10th layer. .......

This "Eltra's club" and the "dungeon bug" are too disturbing for the time being when we are about to attack the boss.

I hope it will end safely. .......





I met up with Prine and went to the dungeon entrance, where Martina and Gigi were already waiting for me.

I was already waiting for them.
'No, we are just now.

We exchange a few words of greeting and enter the dungeon.
We entered the dungeon through the save point on the second level to the fifth level.

We enter the room with the transfer crystal and stop in front of the door at the end of the room.
We gear up and make a final check of the plan.

The vanguard is me and Gigi. The rear guard is Martina. Prine is further behind. I'm sorry to keep repeating this, but this guy's HP is extremely low, please take care of him.
'Yes, sir.'
I'll leave it to you.
But I'll do my best!

I was about to put my hand on the door when..,

'Rana-sama.'

Gigi called out to me.

'Why don't we form a circle? It's a good opportunity for us.

A little surprised, I smile.

'Yes, that's fine.

The four of us face each other in a circle, and Gigi puts out her hand.
Martina puts her hand on top of his, I put mine on top of mine, and Prine's small hand on top of hers.
Gigi looks at me.
Gigi looks at me. She wants me to say a clich .

I took a breath.

'--with the pride of an adventurer.

''''Oh!

Fists together, raised.

The petals scatter with a resounding pop. It was Gigi's trick.

Clowns are quite good, aren't they?

Gigi smirks at me.
I laugh back.

'It's fun to be here. It's true.

I look at Prine in the back.
She's nervous, but it doesn't look bad.

'Are you all right?'
'Yeah--I'm fine. Thanks, Ra.
I'll be right behind you.
'Yeah!

Turn around and put your hand on the door.

Let's go!

Slowly, the door to the boss's room opened.





We entered a large room and proceeded cautiously toward the back.



When I reached a certain point, I heard a creaking sound behind me. The door to the entrance was closed.

--There was no way to escape without the transfer crystals.

At the same time, the dark room suddenly lit up.

--Gurooooooo............n!

A beast that looked like a combination of a tiger and a wolf, and a humanoid figure wearing a jet-black robe and carrying a horrible skull staff appeared in front of us.

--Two!

Gultiger" and "Satanist" - two of the strongest monsters in the beginning of the game, known as the beginner's wall - attack us.

The curtain has been raised on the boss battle in the fifth level.
