"... I was about to forget!"

After finishing the request and separating from Kagemitsu and others, Haruki returned to Hakodateyama dungeon again.

I thought I would take a lotus, but I just went and returned. She decided to wait at the hotel.

This time Seiki came to the dungeon to get points to strengthen from the dungeon core.

When he came to the defeat, he had only a gokku soup in his head, so he had completely forgotten about the core.

In addition, there was a Self-Defense Force around when defeating.

In any case, I couldn't touch the core on the spot.

"Well, what is the core ..."

Seiki looks around and looks for something that looks like a core.

Immediately, I noticed that there was a core-like object at the end of the boss room, which would be 100 meters in diameter.

The core was smaller than a stone in Asahikawa, about the size of a closet.

The stones still look like they have been artificially processed. This may be a common core form in dungeons.

Haruki quickly reached out and touched the core.

When you touch the core, the core gradually turns dark from the top.

After confirming that the entire core had dimmed, Haruki took out the skill board.

エ ネ ル ギ Energy has flowed in from the dungeon core≫

全 て All the energy of the core has been absorbed≫

≪The core temporarily stopped working 活動

≪The next stampede occurrence time has receded≫

As before, there was a log showing that energy was removed from the core.

And

"……Hmm?"

達成 The demo graph can be upgraded (updated) by achieving the conditions≫

≪Raise the grade≫

The letter of fulfillment of the condition has just appeared.

"Oh!"

The log appeared now. So achieving the condition is related to Seiki's behavior.

It is expected that this will be the key as Seiki touched the core and pulled out the energy.

But it wasn't just one time that he pulled energy out of the core.

"Maybe the number of times?"

Is it achieved by touching the core several times and removing energy? In that case, may the same core be used, or if it is not a core of another dungeon?

Or maybe you've achieved if you get a certain amount of enhancement points.

Either way, it is certain that the condition was achieved by touching the core.

"Now, what's the difference?"

Seiki takes a hard breath and watches.

After a while, the next log appeared.

≪--Ascent (update) completed≫

≪The safety device has been released≫

`` Buff !? ''

Seiki breathed a breath at the words that the safety device felt danger of release.

One of the first safety devices that came to mind was the self-destruct device at the research facility.

A red button and a transparent lid over it.

Did you do something irreparable?

Cold greasy sweat floats in the temple of Seiki.

The last log was displayed while watching pale pale Seiki.

よ り You can now use the Ki tree.≫

"........."

Seiki read the log and exhaled with her hand on her chest.

I thought he had woken up a dangerous system hidden in the skill board, but apparently it seemed less threatening than expected.

"But, finally ..."

The skill board shows muscle strength, stamina, agility and immunity.

However, there is no "cooking" skill in the tree.

It is strange that Seiki is confident in her culinary skills and that this item is not displayed as a skill.

However, what is probably displayed in the tree is the ability involved in the dungeon capture. Or, if you consider various abilities to be "applicable basic abilities", it makes sense once.

Until now, the board did not display the energy that would always be used to make a magic or energy attack.

Not seeing this, Seiki was a bit stuck.

However, from the words "Safety device is released" and "You can use the power tree", it was vague, but you could understand why you could not see it.

"Is the energy tree higher than other trees?"

Even if you can strengthen the basic skills by operating the board, Haruki thinks that it is amazing enough.

But spirit skills can do more than that.

In fact, Seiki now has a sealed power-up attack to designate as a seal.

It was too strong to seal.

And because I can't control it.

Power too much for humans.

The flying power attack seemed terrifying to Seiki enough to make the word come to mind.

If you fiddle with the power tree on the day you get the skill board, a rookie adventurer could use a power attack.

It's like giving a baby a handgun.

It can't be handled, causing human damage before it can be handled.

Even Seiki, who has become an intermediate adventurer and has become conscious of his energy, is still far from perfect.

If you are not conscious, your energy will leak and your magic sword and mask will inevitably enter.

Past power leads to destruction, not prosperity.

It is not surprising that the condition of the appearance of the power tree has been set.

Seiki looks away from the log and looks at her tree.

Haruki Soraboshi (27) Gender: Male

Skill points: 5 → 9

Rating: Hidden Sword King

Kago: Defeat God

The rise in skill points is due to the suppression of the dungeon master.

Dungeon owners rarely get one more point than rare dungeons.

(If it is a rare species and the dungeon lord who causes stampede, will it be 6 points in total? ...?)

"Will the energy tree appear at this position ... what is it !?"

Looking at the energy skills that appeared, Seiki looked away.

-Muscle strength <->

└ Strength 5

-Visibility <-> @ NEW

├ Energy 2

├ volume 5

├ Power operation 1

└Maximum weakness resistance

-Agility <+2>

├ Instant power 6

└ dexterity 5

First, calm.

There are 5 levels even though they have just appeared. This is unparalleled for a skill that hasn't been touched at all.

Furthermore, weakness resistance.

At this point, it has been confused.

"Why is it so high suddenly ...?"

Seiki twisted her neck and made the explanation pop up.

"Visions (increases power) MAX30"

"Air volume (increase air volume) MAX10"

"Power control (increase the power of power control) MAX10"

"Weakness tolerance (increase tolerance to energy deficiency) MAX5"

Skill composition and description is pretty much like any other skill.

However, if you replace this energy with "the power of the spirit trying to get things done" = "motivated," you will almost see what your skills control.

The spirit is "strength of motivation."

The capacity is "motivation persistence".

Power control can be interpreted as "the power to motivate freely."

Now, if you compare "moment" to "motivation", you can see what "weakness tolerance" controls.

Haruki compared it to "motivation" and knew why his energy skills were so high.

"Work or ..."

no doubt.

Due to my work experience in a printing factory.

Maximum overtime hours 200 hours.

Maximum work duration 72 hours.

Minimum holiday 0 days a month.

You have to be motivated.

If you don't keep moving even if you have zero energy, the printing line will stop.

In such a situation, Seiki continued to fight day and night without sleep.

That experience has been expressed as a figure of 5 and a weakness-resistant MAX.

With a fair amount of effort, the skill does not rise to 5 due to natural rise.

In fact, the highest level of skill that Seiki naturally rises into the dungeon is 4 in "Concealment".

"Even if stealth has only risen to 4, but naturally rises only to skill level 5 ... I was forced to work hard enough ..."

-Technology <->

├ Arms mastery

│├One-handed sword 5

│├Throw 2

│└Light dress 5

├Kicking 2

├ Stealth 4 → 5

└Imitation 3

correction.

The stealth skill level naturally increased to 5.

"Gyu !!"

Haruki screamed like blood.

Too shocking, Haruki collapsed on the spot to endure the pain.

"Is it because I used stealth? の Is it because I used stealth?

From leaving the confinement room to entering the dungeon.

And from getting out of the dungeon until returning to the confinement room again.

Seiki was moving with stealth.

Seiki had to do so.

It is Seiki who decided that it was unavoidable and took action.

However, it is true that stealth will rise ...

Haruki at that time did not think at all that "concealment might rise".

I just want to help the SDF.

I only had that feeling.

Hot things run down Seiki's cheeks, dripping from the chin and making stains on the floor.

"There's no such thing ... not much ..."

No matter how much you want your presence, the world is coming to annihilate Haruki's presence with all your might.

I could only imagine that stealth was rising against Haruki's will.

Haruki barely escaped from the desolation caused by the tragedy of stealth rise (thanks to weakness), swiping the skill board to display the enhanced screen.

[Item enhancement]

[Enhancement points] 1448 → 4964

The reinforcement point was 3516 points, slightly higher than the Asahikawa Dungeon.

The garage dungeon received only 1000 points because it was a pseudo core.

"I'm far from fully strengthening the mask ..."

The points gained today are not enough to reinforce the mask to the next level.

There is also the next stage.

There are not enough points.

If you grow up, your presence will increase.

Seiki who has such a dream feels that the amount of points that can be obtained from the core is not enough.

However, the core energy will eventually fill up, so it's not as difficult to get as skill points.

You can take the time to grow your mask without worrying.

Looking at other items that could be enhanced, Seiki discovered the name of a new item.

Silver Wolf Dagger 0

Synthetic leather gloves 0

Synthetic leather shoes 0

The leather series that appeared under Silver Wolf is the “one” armor purchased from Akane.

This synthetic leather series did not appear in previous enhancement screens.

"Does that mean it's coming up with an update?"

Increased skill board ratings have increased the limits on items that can be enhanced.

In this case, items that could not be strengthened before may be able to be strengthened.

So Haruki swipes the screen further, but the scale robe and evil sword obtained by defeating the Lizardman have not appeared.

"I can go" one ", but still more is impossible"

The source of the evil sword is unknown, and the scale armor comes from a monster on the 30th floor.

Werewolf daggers below that have not yet appeared.

If you compare by store sales grade, the current item enhancement is up to "one", and "ichi" is still impossible.

Even if the item is strengthened, the line will not be too high and cannot be equipped.

"I see, in that sense, do we need reinforcement restrictions?"

If the item's grade is higher than the adventurer's level, the adventurer cannot equip the item.

Reinforcement restrictions may be a safety feature that prevents equipment qualifications from being lost due to item upgrades.

"So, if the grade of the skill board rises as it is, may scales and magic swords be able to be strengthened ..."

If you can strengthen it, you can be stronger.

My chest expands with expectation.

Dreams are big.

But don't expect too much from your dreams.

What you ultimately need is not the strength of your armor.

Because it is an adventurer ability.

Even if you get a strong armor, it is embarrassing if you have insufficient power.

Until that time, Haruki swears to continue growing as an adventurer, so as not to be ashamed by reinforced weapons.
