Episode 31: King Sea Serpent
- Thirty floors below the Imperial Labyrinth.
In front of me was a room blocked by a heavy steel door.
Boss Room - You can't move on to the next tier unless you can defeat the boss in the room and use the Transition Magic Formation.
"This is the boss's room."
"It should be."
"What about the boss?
"It looks like there are demons like Deadshark, Sahaggin Guardian, Iron Club..."
We already have tactical information, so we can know the boss who will appear in advance.
But honestly, it's not enough for us.
"The Dead Shark has already been defeated on the 27th basement floor, and the level is limited to about 60, even if it reaches the Sahaggin Guardian and the Ein Club to enhance it. You're not our enemy."
Sylvia says, smiling nicely.
I'm a little scared of smiling.
"Well, don't just be alarmed because you're the right person"
Given our status, the biggest enemy is the Chronic Mind.
Press the steel door to open it.
Inside the room was a circular ground, covered with waterways, as it was in the tactical information.
Boss, proceed to the center of the room.
"Well, what's coming out of it"
The waterway in the front rises and demons emerge from the water.
The demon that showed up was a thick torso that seemed to have a diameter of three meters, the one below was still underwater and not able to see the whole thing, but it was a demon that seemed to have a total length of fifty meters with a body as long as a snake.
Query information about the demons in front of you from the knowledge of the Labyrinth Lord.
"King Sea Serpent"
The [Appraisal] is then used to check the status as well.
"Level 200. You've brought a very high level of demons."
"That's all they mean."
It wasn't in the offensive information, boss.
Obviously, it's a demon set up to stop us.
If it's possible, I might want King Cesar Pent to take us down, but if the level is about 200, we can deal with it without a problem.
"Hey, I'm calling you King, but that crown on your head isn't the cause, is it?"
The tip of Ira's finger - a golden scale was shaped like a crown on the top of her head.
"Sometimes a demon's name is appropriately named because of its appearance."
"Seriously?"
"Really true"
King Sea Serpent because he looks like he's wearing a crown on his head.
It's not like I have the ability to follow other seether pent species. I was given that name simply because I looked like a king.
"'Cause I'm here while we're talking about that!
He opened his big mouth and came at me.
I was in the center and I jumped up, and Sylvia and Ira jumped left and right, respectively.
King Sea Serpent going through where the three of us were. but suddenly he changes direction and follows Ira who jumped to the right.
"Ira!"
"I know!
I'm taking the King Sea Serpent, who came in with his sword like a shield.
"That's the boss. That's an unscrupulous force."
They couldn't take the shock off and pushed it off for about two meters, but it stopped moving from there.
"Shut the fuck up."
Beat King Cesar Pent's body.
Not only is it covered in hard scales, but Kingsy Serpent's activation of [Armor Scale (Armor Skyle)] at the moment of attack improves his defense and does little damage. If it doesn't penetrate, it doesn't blow back.
We use appraisals to learn more about the skills we use.
"If the skill you're using is [Armor Scale], you can do something about it."
Open the fist you were holding and let the magic flow.
Magic Shockwave
The magic that permeates the body shocks, causing the King Sea Serpent's body to snap from the inside.
- GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am raising my voice out of pain.
"Annoying!"
I kick it up from the bottom with my face flaunted by too much annoyance.
When they blow up near the ceiling, they fall towards the ground.
Move where I fell from left and Ira pierced the sword from right to the far end of the body toward the head. It was an unusually hard scale, but there is no object that cannot be slashed by the Divine Sword and the Holy Sword.
"Thank you very much."
Sylvia puts a dagger through her throat to stop her from falling to the ground after bleeding from all over her body.
"There's a demon stone here, so can you help me take it out?
"Oh."
Take the knife out of the toolbox, peel the scales off your throat, and open the meat.
"There was."
I'll just retrieve the demon stone for now.
There is no danger that the demon is actually alive if even the demon stone is taken away.
"So, what about this guy?
Huge sea serpent in front of me.
"You had 200 levels, didn't you? Wouldn't that taste pretty good?
"... are you going to dismantle this?
Sylvia comes with Zito eyes.
It would be Sylvia's job to cook at our party.
"... ok. But we don't have time to dismantle it right now, so let's take it home."
Store the King Sea Serpent in the toolbox (item box).
"Ah."
Ira noticed what she had left in the place where King Cesar Pent's body was rolling.
It's a chest.
"Heh."
Sometimes you can defeat the boss and get a chest, but it wasn't a great opportunity.
"What's in it?
Ira sees it with her expected eyes.
Let me sneak in and use Sylvia's [God's Luck] before opening the crate.
There was a bracelet inside.
"A bubble bracelet?
Because the effect was not known by the appearance alone, [Appraisal] is used to confirm.
It seems to be a magic tool that creates a sphere of air bubbles in the water around the user by flushing magic, allowing them to move freely in the water.
But the time to get it is too bad.
"This is where the submarine cave ends."
The timing of using the bubble bracelet has already been lost.
"Probably doesn't mean we can use this magic tool to do more exploration, do we?
Give me the magic tool that makes me want to turn back to do my quest again.
It's an obnoxious means.
"Ah, according to the map, there are a lot of crate outbreaks here, mostly like magic tools that help us with underwater activities like bubble bracelets"
That's a magic tool to make sure you do your exploration again.
The fact that we got this causes us to explore the submarine caves again and again.
"Well, we're not going back because we're going to move on."
"Right."
I'll keep it in the storage ring because I might have a use for it for now.
"How's the labyrinth going over there?
"We're almost done exploring the 33rd basement."
"Sounds like the difference is shrinking slightly."
Listen to the exploratory hierarchy of the Rio's.
"You didn't make the big shortcut on the 31st basement floor."
'Yeah. I didn't get stopped by my buddies and pick a shortcut. Shortcuts over there are too visible and dangerous in the first place than shortcuts on the 27th floor of the basement'
The basement floors 31-35 are alpine fields, and the structure runs down the mountain road from the basement floor 31, which is the top of the mountain's head with a structure that hits out five levels.
Labyrinth's largest shortcut.
Places without mountain paths are like deep holes, so if you jump from above, you can reach the 35th floor at once. Most of all, it's quite advanced, so you can't make a shortcut unless you fly in the sky or have a dedicated tool.
In addition, that shortcut carries great dangers.
Alpine fields are home to numerous bird-shaped demons flying through the sky, opponents who are just walking along the alpine to strike, but are set to strike first from intruders who have chosen shortcuts.
Naturally, priority targets are known as tactical information.
In other words, Rio and the others know that choosing a shortcut would create a situation where all the demons in the basement, from the 31st to the 35th floors, would be enemies at once.
I just had a hard time on the 27th basement floor, but I couldn't possibly have chosen that route.
"Minefield is a highly differentiated place. It's going to take a long time to explore, so let's hurry this way."
"Um, what about the next hierarchy..."
"What's up?
Sylvia was trying to tell me.
That said, the map with the tactical information was not shown in its entirety to the extent that it would be shown from time to time if there were any problems.
"No, the metamagic team is in front of us, so I think it's quicker for you to see it first."
"Okay."
There's no reason to hesitate, so let the Metastatic Magic Regiment run their magic and activate them.
That changes the view in front of you in an instant.
"Huh..."
The view in front of you turns into something completely different is not something you can easily get used to no matter how many times you experience it.
Still, I was going to get used to being a labyrinth lord.
However, the change to standing on hard ground with dry winds was astonishing, even though earlier it stood on soil containing damp air and water.
"... it's a wilderness field"
Wilderness as far as you can see.
No, more than it is in the labyrinth, there are walls in the back, and the view is just shown so that it looks like it's spreading everywhere.
In fact, it's only a determined size.
"Where's the goal?
"I don't know. The map could only be purchased so far. The map on the 30th floor of the basement depicted 'Wilderness Field Next', so I could have guessed..."
Come here. Disappear tactical information.
You have to explore from here on your own.
