On reaching the twentieth tier, the effect of the second demon drop potion expired. It would be a pretty good pace to come down with a break and get here in six hours.

Up to the fifteenth tier, it was easy to walk in the dungeon because there were maps created by other adventurers. Sometimes I was wrong with other parties.

Since then, however, there have been no other parties at all, and I have moved on mapping myself. Fortunately, the interior of the dungeon had become stable, or because it was approaching the lowest level, making it an easy path to stone building.

"[Shield] all the time. Mr. Rousha, there's a staircase going down to the twenty-first floor ahead. Let's take a break there."

"Okay!

Make sure Mr. Rousha knocked down the big bear demon in one blow and move on. The staircase you reached was more luxurious than ever before.

Looks like it's made of amber and shines beautifully. The stairs aren't a straight line until now, either, they're spiral.

"Wow, wow... I've never seen anything like it"

After looking around for a moment, Mr. Rousha gently touches the staircase area. It seems unusual, and I laugh unexpectedly when he says "I don't know if I can take it home".

"You won't be able to sharpen the stairs just fine. Perhaps the lower level is closer because the stairs are more luxurious."

"The lowest level is the Lord, so the specifications of the dungeon will be extravagant. Definitely, I think we'll get there in a few tiers. Why don't you rest here today and try first thing tomorrow morning?

"Right. Shall we rest here then... but it doesn't mean I have a sleeping bag"

You sit on the stairs and sleep, so your body won't rest much. Though I think it's a lot different just to get some sleep.

Food has water, bread and dried meat. If it was at least a fire magic skill, I could have prepared some warm soup. It would not be very luxurious in a dungeon, but it is still humans who want to eat something delicious.

We both start eating, but it still doesn't taste good.

... Bears you knocked down in the hierarchy earlier, will they be eaten or something?

No, you've never even eaten a bear in Japan in the first place. I'm not sure how to cook, and most importantly, the bear here is a demon, so it wouldn't be a good idea to get your hands on it. Probably.

"Aren't you tired, Mr. Hiroki? Are you all right, sir?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm tired of walking, but I think I'll recover when I go to sleep. Mr. Rousha is the one who's been attacking me for so long."

"No, not at all! It's so much fun knowing I can fight, too. When Mr. Hiroki is avant-garde, he can shoot arrows without worrying about anything, and it's easy to do."

By the avant-garde, there is something called my pace. Speed of walking or how to confront demons. That's also a big deal about how many you can deal with at the top.

In my case, I walk a little early when I fight. He won't move until Mr. Rousha defeats all the demons, so it's easy to do.

"What a waste of a healer"

"Really?"

"... but I'm happy with the status quo. Mr. Rousha will defeat the demon, so you don't have to attack him as an avant-garde. He's a healer, so he can recover if anything happens. I guess the best thing is that you don't need a pure avant-garde and healer anymore to be able to hunt in pairs"

When I told him that, I nodded so much that Mr. Rousha would be.

"So Mr. Hiroki is going to play the role of avant-garde and healer by himself."

"Yes, yes."

"One or two roles, wow...... phew"

"Sleepy?"

"A little. It's been a long time since I've fought so much, it's kind of fulfilling"

That's right.

Mr. Rousha has always had luggage.

"I'm full, and I'm very satisfied. Good night... hey"

"Hey, early to bed! I mean, don't lean on me and go to sleep!

Mr. Lusha fell on me fluttering as he did. I get my shoulder pillow on my own, and I find myself in a situation where I can't move. No matter how many times I call you, you won't wake up to sleep deep.

"... ha"

There was nothing I could do, so I decided to keep my eyes closed and rest too. Of course, I don't know if I can sleep...

◆ ◆ ◆

"Good morning, Mr. Hiroki"

"Ugh!? Good morning"

Standing up, Mr. Rousha stretches out all the time and laughs at "It's Lord's Crusade Day". Although the weather doesn't matter because it's in the dungeon, I found it to be looking good, apparently.

I remember being nervous and not sleeping at all, but when I realized it, he slept well.

We had breakfast preserved food, stretched, and then we entered the Dungeon 21st tier.

Again, unlike previous hierarchies, the making inside is also luxurious. It is made of stone halfway between the ground and the wall, but from there on ahead it is made of amber. Bright and easy to move within the dungeon.

"[Shield]!

"It's a demon, is that... blackdog!?"

"Looks good."

This one came at me with a black dog, about a meter tall, a Doberman-like appearance with terrible fangs.

I would avoid it at my leisure - and I thought so.

Shh!

"Huh?"

My shield is hit by a Black Dog attack.

"-!! Mr. Hiroki, I'm going!!"

Mr. Rousha, who immediately perceived the situation, shoots an arrow. However, it is convenient not to strike with a single blow because none of the hitting forces are available. Shooting a few shots, it all came off.

"Ugh..."

"It's okay. Please calm down, Mr. Rousha"

"Yes."

- And while I'm at it, the shield's been torn five times, and I get black dog claws.

"Mr. Hiroki!!"

"Slightly, [Shield] Then, [Heel]"

Seeing as I put my shield back on, Mr. Rousha relieves me. I immediately shot five arrows at once, and it hit me and I was able to defeat the Black Dog.

"Are you okay!?"

"I'm fine, it sounds like Blackdog has a high hit. Nevertheless, it's not a problem because not all attacks will be hit. For now."

Fortunately, this hierarchy has strong demons. Probably a small number of appearances.

"In the meantime, let's move on. I'm sure if we go a few more levels - that?

"Hmm? Ah, that's a demon stone"

From the defeated black dog, a sparkling red gem showed up. Mr. Rousha grabbed it a little, wiped it with a cloth, and then gave it to me.

"It's the material that makes the gear. It's a pretty rare item, so I can't take it."

"Oh, you're lucky"

With this, we're going to be able to get Dwarf shopkeepers to grant us gear effects.

Get in the bag and we'll move on.

As expected, the Black Dog only came out one at a time, so it shields most of the attacks and does it great. Even if I ate the occasional attack, I didn't have a problem with it because I was able to heal it right away.

Discover the stairs as they are and descend into the lower hierarchy.

"Oh, not the Lord's room?

"True."

It was a main road laid with red carpets, and there was a door with luxurious ornaments ahead.

... What the hell kind of boss is there?

I feel like a dog lineage because the previous hierarchy was a black dog. If you knock them down, you'll get the material and the crate, so you might be able to gear up and then go to the Devil's Land.

I opened the door that leads to the boss room, swelling my chest to expectations.
