The next day. In the morning, I bought substitutes for Garum's broken equipment and tools to counter fire dragons, and after reflecting on the situation, the fifty-seventh level attack began.

　Basically, our first goal is to find the Black Gate without being found by monsters, so we followed Camille's instructions and proceeded to weave our way through the valley.

　Sometimes an arrow was shot by an orc, but other than that, we found the Black Gate without incident. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.


'.........So they came.


　After reaching the fifty-nineth level, Camille muttered with a serious face. She came here after opening the black gate to the fifty-nineth level, which she had deliberately stopped, because she said that if she challenged the fire dragon, she would have regrets when she inherited the guild leader from her husband.

　It had been almost three years since Camille had been preceded by her husband due to illness. Although her husband had appointed her to the position of guild leader, Camille was not a handy woman. Although she has the ability and personality to stand above others as an explorer, she is not very good at negotiations and complicated paperwork, and when she causes problems, the deputy guild leader is the one who has to clean up the mess.

　So she was often pressured in some way by Solitte, the most powerful company in the newspaper industry, as well as the commercial union. They wondered if she was really fit to be the head of the guild, or if the deputy head of the guild would be more suitable for the head of the guild.

　In fact, Camille was beginning to wonder if the Deputy Guild Leader was more suitable for the Guild Leader, too. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get away with it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. If it works, that's fine, if it doesn't, it's time to go back.

　Camille didn't care about her position as long as she protected the guild her husband had entrusted to her. If she could be a martyr to the guild, she would do well as a receptionist.


''Alright, you've achieved your goal for now.


　I thought it would take until the evening, but the time was around fifteen. Tsutomu put down his magic bag, rejoicing that he was able to reach the fifty-nine levels earlier than planned thanks to Camille.


''Then from this level, let's practice the use of the anti-fire dragon tools, shall we? But there's not much to it, though.''


　Fumbling with the magic bag, Tsutomu pulled out a clear cylindrical bottle. An iron hammer. And a fireproof equipment made of red cloth.

　Inside the transparent tube-shaped bottle were dozens of insects with round gray shells. The explosive insects that lived in the dungeon outside, monsters that exploded while emitting light when they felt threatened with death. In the bottle are the larvae of it.

　If you shake the bottle so hard that it crushes the insect, it will explode, emitting a powerful light. This flash-bang-like tool, which deprives the enemy of its vision with light, is a popular tool used in the defeat of fire dragons. The flashbang is the easiest to use to temporarily crush the fire dragon's eyes.

　Then, while the fire dragon's eyes were being crushed, an iron hammer would be used to break the green crystal on the fire dragon's forehead, which was about the size of a fist. By doing so, the fire dragon will not be able to fly freely in the sky.

　The red fire dragon boasts a body length that can crush a person. With its massive size, flying in the sky was impossible with just the lift of its wings. The source of this power was the fire dragon. The source of this power is the crystal on the fire dragon's forehead.

　The fire dragon draws its wind power from the crystal, like the fly that Tsutomu uses. The powerful wings on the fire dragon's back only control its power. If it loses its power, it will lose the ability to fly. The only thing you can do is to be able to glide on its wings.


'Yes, go ahead. I think I've got the right size.


　Tsutomu handed them a robe with a hood made of red cloth. The two received the hardened equipment with a coarse surface.


You're a red thread firearm. How much was it worth?
''It's about five large demon stones. It seems the demand is high, so it was quite expensive.
...I'm told there are currently three quotes.
It's okay. I can afford it.


　Fire Dragon Breath. The scorching breath that cleaves a wide area has a short preliminary motion and the number of times it performs its attacks is high. Even if you read the preliminary motion, it could be impossible to avoid it depending on the location. So Tsutomu didn't put his money where his mouth was and bought a red threaded fire armor.

　The Fire Dragon's Breath with its overwhelming heat and range would kill him instantly if he took a direct hit with ordinary equipment if his VIT was not B- or higher. However, if you have the skin of a red-hot dog and a fire armor with woven red spider silk, you can withstand the bracelets even with a D+ VIT of Tsutomu at full strength.

　The apprentice boy who was the receptionist at the shop that had ripped him off for not being able to buy it. Tsutomu still remembers the look of surprise on his face when he popped out fifteen top-quality daimaima stones and specified their size. It's a good thing that the work was worth the price, because even though they were secondhand, the size was almost exactly right.


'If the fire dragon's breath comes and you can't avoid it, put on your hood, roll your body up and turn your back to it. If you do that, you should be able to withstand the basics. Just be careful not to get scratched with your claws or anything else, as it will tear easily.


　Tsutomu has the two men imitate the movements while practicing the movements, telling them what to do. It's a simple action, but the three of them repeat the action several times in order to let it soak into their bodies.


The preliminary motion of the breath is to inhale after the fire dragon's throat has flashed thinly. This is the basics. There are other attacks to be aware of, but we'll talk about them when we return. For now, you have to be most vigilant about Breath, so do that motion if you shout Breath to yourself during future battles.
Okay.
Breath!


　The three of them put on their hoods and crouched down on the spot. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.


I'm going to keep the equipment in case it gets torn off.


　The fire armor of the red thread has good fire resistance, but it is vulnerable to slashing. So Tsutomu put the equipment in his magic bag until he challenged the fire dragon. And next, he picked up the flashlight bottle.


I'm going to be the one to flash the flash bottle.　When you hear that voice, please shut your eyes. Three seconds later, I will detonate the flashbulb.


　In the game, there was a thing called Flash Hame, where the fire dragon was frightened several times with a flashlight bottle, and the attacker would scrap it in the meantime. So naturally, Tsutomu had tried to practice it, but he had confirmed on the first platform that it wouldn't work in this world.

　Fire dragons had some intelligence, and once they used the flashlight bottle, they were almost impossible to catch the second time. That's why you can't use flash hammering in the game. Tsutomu has bought more than a dozen of them, but some of them are for practice, as they might be useful if you are caught by surprise.


I'm going to use the flashlight bottle at the start of a normal battle as well. I'm going to use the flashlight!　Please close your eyes when you hear that.
Don't you think that's a waste?
'It's 200,000 g's in one shot. Well, I've got this.
Don't look like a millionaire.


　Garum shoves Tsutomu, who poses Qian with his thumb and forefinger, with a face that looks drained of venom. Camille also has a dumbfounded look in her eyes.


''Then let's make use of yesterday's reflection, let's raise the level of the fire dragon countermeasures as well. Ah, Camille. There are a few things I want to try out when you are in a state of dragonization, so just be prepared to apply a haste, please.
Oh, come on, you haven't given up yet?
I'll give up if this doesn't work!　Please!
Well, all right. Suit yourself.


　Camille let out a bitter smile at Tsutomu, who clasped his hands together, but pulled out the large sword that was stabbing the ground and went to search for the enemy after Tsutomu applied the fly to him.


　--▽▽▽--


　Tsutomu kept his feet on the ground and watched the battle as the wyverns were currently camped in the sky. Garum is attracting two wyverns to the five orcs. Its position was carefully designed to prevent the sting from flying off to Tsutomu and Camille.

　Camille is in a state of dragonization, stagnating in the air above, while she struggles to smash the wyvern's wings with her great sword. However, the wyvern is not going to be cut down for free either, and it is avoiding the great sword by running through the air in all directions while shouting threateningly at Camille.

　Although the wyvern can't spit out breaths like a fire dragon, it flies freely through the air with flexible wings like a bat, and if it has an opening, it will try to pierce the tail spine dripping with paralyzing poison. Anyone not used to aerial combat would be hit by the sting and bitten whole when they are unable to move.

　The wyvern ejects the sting, waving its snake-like tail. He releases it in advance on either side of Camille, blocking her escape route. The wyvern would then try to slash her face with its bird-like key claws from the front. Camille catches her foot in front of her with her large sword and flips it to the side.

　The great sword of the chase sticks into the side of the Wyvern, which has lost its stance. Red blood spurts out and lands on Camille's right arm.


''Enchanted Flame.''


　Camille's signature attack, stabbing the great sword into the body and burning its contents. The struggling wyvern takes its hand away from the stabbing sword, and Camille lets go of it, flapping her back wings. The tail sting sticks into the wing of the wyvern where the great sword is stuck.

　With the stab flying, the wyvern glides through the air and closes in on Camille. The red scales sticking thinly to her throat glow as she inhales heavily, and then as she breathes on it, a powerful flame covers the sting flying wyvern. The entire body is engulfed in flames and the wyvern falls to the ground with a weak cry.

　Camille falls to the ground with a burning great sword stabbed into her stomach and retrieves the great sword as she snatches it from the wyvern, which has begun to turn into particles. Continuing to fly low, Camille slashed the orc aiming at Garum diagonally from his back. With that momentum, she spun around and blew away about three orcs with the belly of her greatsword. Camille stopped the movement of the great sword for a moment as the orcs rolled on the ground with the particleized one.


''Oh, did you notice yourself?　It's a good trend. Heels.


　Tsutomu flew a pinpoint heel to Garum's left arm, and took one look at Camille, who went to chase after the orcs. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

　As usual, Camille's movements are out of character. Garum's fitness management. Hate management of the monster. Putting a certain amount of mental power into the skills and controlling them. Confirming the effect time of the support skills. In addition to that, it was impossible for him right now to hit the support skills that shoot at Camille with that movement every few seconds.


(If not to shoot........)


　When Tsutomu waved his wand, a blue qi sprang up at the feet of Camille's direction of travel, as if it were floating up.


(Installation.)


　Tsutomu executes the support skill he came up with in the middle of the night last night to place. Tsutomu guesses that if this is the case, the effect time won't be shortened because the size of the chi is the same as the flying skill, unlike the shooting skill.

　Camille's speed increased even more as she stepped on the blue chi. It becomes so fast that it's barely possible to follow it with the eyes anymore. And there's no way an orc could compete with Camille at that speed, so a blow to the arm. Another blow is a leg. The Orcs, whose bodies have been scraped off, die and transform into magical stones.

　After that, the haste didn't cease until the orc was annihilated. It was only slightly shorter than the flying skill. Tsutomu measured the duration of the effect of the hasten that he placed as around forty seconds.

　A skill to put. Tsutomu thought that this would be quite useful, and his cheeks broke out in a smile. The effect time is not bad either. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.

　When Tsutomu was grinning, a kangaroo followed by a kangaroo, jumping up and down as it approached. The kangaroo-like monster, despite its adorable face, attacks explorers with a fighting style that can break a person's neck without a care in the world.

　It has not been confirmed that there are children in its pouch, but it is rare to find a magical stone inside, which is sold for a high degree of purity. However, unlike the outside dungeon, you have to stick your hand into the bag during a battle to check it, so even if there are magic stones, it's extremely difficult to find the belly of a kang-fugaroo, which is good at melee combat.

　Out of the nine, Garum makes seven hates and Camille takes on two of them. As Camille began to move, Tsutomu placed his Haste in Camille's direction of travel, just as he did before.


''Ah.''


　But Camille changed the direction of travel to avoid the kangfugaroo's lunge. Then she stepped on the hasten that Kangfugaroo was placed on. The kangfugaroo instantly became more agile in its movements.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. The other kang-fugaroo high kicks him in the face. Camille pulls her face as if she were being played. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's not.


''Pro-Tek. Heel. Camille, I'm sorry!'


　After focusing on healing his left hand with the heel while letting Garum continue the protection, Tsutomu apologized to Camille with all his might.

　Camille then slammed down the kung fu garou with a broken Haste. Camille, conscious but with her fighting instincts stimulated by the dragonization, glared at Tsutomu, who had hit the kangfugaroo with the Haste, with a jittery glare. Staring at her with eyes that have slightly elongated pupils like those of a reptile, Tsutomu cowered like a frog staring at a snake.

　Despite the fact that he was cowering, however, Tsutomu continued to try out the hasten, which he boldly placed without fear of failure. This time, the hasten was placed without failure and made firm contact with Camille. Camille, who was hit by the Haste, finished taking down the remaining kang-fugaroo in the blink of an eye.

　And then, one by one, Camille kills the kangfu-garoo gathered in Garum. When he finished killing all the kangkhugaroo, the battle was over. Tsutomu is glad he didn't fail this time, and while taking a breath, he completely heals the injured Garum with his high heels.

　And then Camille, who had disarmed her dragonization, stabbed her large sword into the ground and approached Tsutomu without delay. Tsutomu retreated as she walked quickly and smoothly, and finally turned her back and ran away as fast as she could.


''Huh!　Tsutomu!　Why are you running away!
'No!　I'm scared.　I'm really sorry for the mistake!
Hey, that stare I just gave you was an accident!　I explained to you that when you're dragonized, your fighting instincts are stimulated!　I did that unintentionally!
No, no!　No, I'm seriously scared.　No, no, no, no!　Don't come!


　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

　It's a great way to get to know each other better, and it's also a great way to get to know each other.
