The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

"Because each proficiency exceeds a certain value, increase the Seal [Cave King] to Rank 4."

Rank up?

I wonder what the conditions were met by defeating this guy.

"Extend the scope of automatic recovery of minerals, so that automatic recovery can only be used for minerals outside the cave."

Suppose...

I tried to recover the collapsed rocks around me.

Until now, I had been able to recover only about two or three steps of ore around me at best.

But now, we can recover twice that range of ore.

This is a delightful enhancement.

Besides, I didn't know we could collect it outside the cave.

Also, increase the workshop rank to 2:

Workshop functionality... I'm sure you only used stone, marble, and sand now.

Nevertheless, I was grateful to this island for just making stone.

The landfills that spread around the island were created thanks to this workshop function.

... So, what's got into you?

"The added workshop items are ingots, glass."

Ingot... I smelled the ore.

The ore in the inventory is counted in units of this ingot.

It seems this one can be machined into a variety of shapes as well as the square ingots you often look at.

I mean, like a thin needle, or a giant iron mass... it would also be a means of attack.

Glass is likewise not just going to make something, but it seems like it can be used in a variety of ways.

Even a mappa would be difficult, it might be a good idea to make something huge.

... with an iron tower? No, is it summer or something?

But neither enhancement may be novel.

Now that Mappa's here, Ingots can be prepared.

Should I honestly be happy that I can still make it myself at any time?

My voice echoed from behind me.

"Dear Heels, Taran! We'll both do it!

The Lord of the Voice was Hoole. Hoole feels like she's holding hands with me, shoulder to shoulder.

I pulled myself a little out of embarrassment at the good smell of hoole right next door.

Hoole doesn't notice me like that and seems to be thumbing up to Taran and praising him for his work.

"Phew, Hoole. I don't think you're hurt."

"I'm fine. Everyone behind you is safe!

Fifteen and the demons waved from the entrance.

I also hear applause, so I guess you're celebrating me and Taran's victory.

That...... what about the mappa? Oh, there.

Apparently Mappa is just collecting black shards of rock.

Will I make something out of that?

"But you were sooo tall. The wreckage made a small mountain."

"Oh... I wonder who made it"

Although there is no guarantee anywhere that someone made it in the first place.

I see the ceiling where this guy came out.

But even if I gazed closely with the dark vision function, it was just a space.

You mean you've been sleeping here the whole time...

I was no match for the smaller one I defeated first.

So I guess this big one has come.

Maybe it would have been dangerous if they'd come from the beginning...... yeah?

At my feet, Ciel the Slime was shaking her body with sorrow.

Apparently, he's apologizing to me.

"No, Ciel. I'm glad you told me that magic doesn't work. Thanks."

When I said it, Ciel shook her body deep and vertical.

"Well, then let's check these stones and crystals."

I've already recovered what's around me. Let's take a look at the inventory.

Pseudo-Heart Stone, Magic Stone... You've seen these two before.

Pseudo-Heart Stone is the blue stone at the core of the Golem.

I mean, I guess these black rocks were also a kind of golem.

The Magic Guided Stone is a stone that can house magic.

Maybe that ray is the magic emitted by this.

And there are three unfamiliar names.

I will retrieve the black shards I recovered earlier from the inventory.

"Demon Stone..."

"Demon Stone Resistant... Stone with resistance to magic. Edible allows the living to gain resistance to magic:

Because the magic doesn't work, I thought it was such a stone... or can I eat it?

It means you can eat.

"Ha, I can eat!? Stone?"

"Huh? What do you mean?

Hoole leaned her neck in my voice.

"No, this black shard... seems to be resistant to magic... because it can be eaten"

"... seriously?

Hoole also takes the black shards and ascertains the feel and smell.

But the touch and weight like crystals.

Very, very unlikely to be eaten...

But if you look far away, there's a mappa that hits a black rock.

He seems to be eating grudgingly... but don't crush him often.

Outreach, maybe it's easy to crush?

"Eat this..."

Hoole also brought the black rock closer to her mouth in an attempt to try.

But soon he shook his neck to the side, and lowered the rock.

"Hoole...... let's just say we wash and eat with proper water later. I've got some hands to eat since I crushed them."

"Well... if you melt it, you won't know it's a stone."

But I can't believe my body can withstand magic...

Hopefully, I would have just ordered it to be used like a crystal.

Anyway, it seems like it would be very useful to make a golem, to make it magically resistant to everyone.

"Is that it? But the big guy I just knocked down, just a little different color?

I snort in Hoole's voice.

Another black object.

Only the big one who knocked this down at the end had it.

"Black iron... tougher than iron, heat resistant."

What Taran didn't break when he slapped him with a pickel is like black iron.

It's not interesting, but it seems like it can be used a lot just because it's tough.

I answer Hoole.

"It's called black iron, it's like metal that's just tough."

"Black iron... so what about that round crystal?

"Demon Crystal... Stone that absorbs and stores a certain amount of magic."

"Sounds like a stone that absorbs magic called Demon Suction Crystal."

"Well, that's another amazing stone... so the magic didn't work"

Speaking of this one as expected, is it what you expected?

I didn't say the Demon Stone prevents all magic. Perhaps this demonic crystal absorbing power also prevented my magic.

Though, you were absorbing a significant amount...

Looks like only the big guy's crystal was big for once, but just like the little one, it looks like a demon sucking crystal. Now there is no shadow to be seen in shatter.

Does the amount of magic that can be absorbed vary depending on the size? If so, I hope it can be consolidated again.

I guess it depends on the mappa there.

"Still... that's an amazing amount"

"Oh. Do you want to collect this first before digging further down"

With this, we can create even more powerful golems.

Mining, of course, would provide a safer defense on the ground.

After this, I used the help of the Slimes to retrieve the surrounding rocks.
