Chapter 17
Fourth day in the dungeon .
We advanced through the 15th floor’s complex design smoothly and arrived at a massive double door made from soil .
It’s finally time to challenge the boss, but this is the boss room, right? It indeed has a strange atmosphere .
I will be embarrassed if this doesn’t turn out to be the boss room……
While thinking so, I touch the heavy door and slowly open them――Gigigi, the door opens, and I face the room .
A spacious dome-like room is inside . The size is comparable to a small concert arena .
I lead Allen and Elena by their hands and step inside――Gatan, the door behind us shuts with a loud noise .
The behind shines when I look back at the closed door .
Looking back forward, light emits from the center of the room . And then, after several seconds when the light weakens, a beast’s roar echoes around the room .
「Sha――――――!!」
Approximately 7-8 meters long worm appears at the place where the light emerged from . Un, it’s that . A gigantic earthworm .
I see, after a fixed period of time passes, the door automatically closes and then the boss comes out .
「Allen, Elena . You two wait here」
The two nod in affirmation and I start running towards the worm .
「《Wind Cutter》」
「Sha~!」
「Oops」
I shoot magic towards the worm as a preliminary test . The worm avoids, and it throws its whole body towards me .
This worm is unexpectedly fast for its size . It doesn’t look like a monotone magic will work against it .
Now then, how should I defeat this fellow――while in thought……
「Sha~!」
The worm shoots《Sand Ball》at me .
「Hee~, then I will…《Air Shot》」
I shoot magic too and offset the opponent’s magic .
「Next is……《Wind Arrow》」
I shoot countless wind arrows straight ahead . If monotone magic is no good, then I just have to fire a spell it won’t be able to evade .
Un? That’s right, it’s a simple brute force approach . I don’t need overcomplicated tactics .
The trajectory of《Wind Arrow》that fly straight ahead is easy to read, but it compensates with speed . Moreover, I shot dozens of them at once, as expected, the worm with its massive body size can’t avoid everything even if it can move quick .
「Sha―――――!!!!!」
As planned, the《Wind Arrows》pierce the worm’s body, it raises a suffering cry and wriggles in pain .
「This is the over! 《Wind Arrow》」
I have used the chance it wriggled in pain and gathered a lot of magical power .
「!!! Sha―――………」
Doshin, the worm collapsed to the ground with its whole body hollowed .
It’s over .
The《Wind Arrows》pierced its body, the worm’s body faintly shines, its corpse disappears, leaving behind drop items .
After surprisingly defeating the worm with ease,”Low Class dungeon’s boss was just something like that” is what came to my mind first . I wonder if the power bestowed upon be ‘s too big, I’m very troubled .
I mean, all magic I used are general spells with about 50 proficiency .
Maa, it’s better than fighting a life-threatening battle . I gather the drop items while thinking such .
The drop items are a baseball sized yellow magic stone, Worm Meat, and several worm fangs .
…… Earthworm meat . Worm Meat is a high-class ingredient? Uun… but, I don’t want to eat something like that…… I will collect it for now, but do I sell or hoard it?
Ah! But, if I sell it, would it expose that we captured the dungeon? Ah, but, would the Guild staff be able to see it on my Guild Card?
＝＝＝＝＝
【Dungeon Record】Fourth Dungeon “Earth” 15 floors captured .
【Title】Captor of a Low Class Dungeon
＝＝＝＝＝
When I took out the Guild Card to confirm, it was well listed there . Un, this is not okay . I will get exposed when I receive a Request……
The capture itself is not the problem . The problem is that we have captured the dungeon only in a few days… First of all, let’s keep quiet by not receiving any requests for a while!
That means the earthworm meat is getting stored inside the《Infinite Storage》!
When I came to a conclusion, tosun, I felt a light impact on my legs . Allen and Elena rushed to me and clung to my legs before I noticed .
「Good?」
「Over?」
「Thank you for waiting . It’s over . You are not injured, right?」
「「Al~right」」
I was careful not to shoot magic into the children’s direction, but I confirm to make sure . Un, no problems here .
Speaking of which, what about the records on the two’s Guild Cards?
Thinking that, I take out Allen’s and Elena’s Guild Cards to check, and find that the two have the same records properly listed on their cards .
The condition seems to be to reach this floor regardless of actually damaging the boss .
――Gogogogogo .
A door suddenly appears on the opposite side of the room .
After putting the cards away, we passed through the door and entered a room with a crystal on a pedestal .
This seems to be the transfer device . We can get back to the 1st floor by touching the crystal .
Switching my gaze from the transfer device, I find a nicely decorated treasure chest at the back of the room . This room which opened after defeating the boss――has apparently a small chance for a treasure chest to appear .
Meaning that this is a complimentary gift?
It doesn’t seem to be locked, and it doesn’t look like there’s a trap . I open it and see five red marble-like things inside .
＝＝＝＝＝
【Exploding Flame Sphere】
An exploding sphere that will activate after pouring magical power inside and leaving a fixed proximity of the caster .
＝＝＝＝＝
This has… a grenade-like feeling to it? Instead of pulling a pin, you pour magical power inside, right? It’s an extraordinarily dangerous smelling magic tool .
… But, it’s power is worrisome . Should I try it somewhere once?
I take out the five spheres from the treasure chest and face the transfer device again after confirming that the treasure chest vanished .
All you have to do to activate the transfer device is to touch the crystal . Because the person that are holding onto the individual who touches the crystal transfer together, there is no need to leave anyone behind so I have decided to hold Allen and Elena in my arms and let them touch the crystal .
「Yosh . Then, touch that crystal」
「「Ha~i」」
As Allen and Elena touch the crystal at the same time, I start feeling a little dizzy . We moved to a familiar looking place at the same time .
Looks like we safely arrived at the hall at the 1st floor . I check the map just in case and confirm that we are indeed on the 1st floor .
The dizziness was surely due to the transfer as I’m already feeling well . Confirming that there’s no problem with Allen and Elena, I put the two down and lead them outside .
N~… outside!
The wind brushing my cheeks feels very nice .
Like this, we were able to capture a dungeon for the first time safely .
