After that, Yuri and I continued to map and level up smoothly.
After Kimaira, she didn't even meet the Medium Boss, so she defeated the Misfish Monsters coming out of the bamboo tubes and raped them.
This boss room seems to be narrower than the upper hierarchy, and the mapping rate is already over 70%.
"Hmm, there was nothing in this room either."
That's right.
For some reason, as the mapping progressed, more and more people arrived in rooms where the bamboo tubes did not come out.
"Why do you say that?" Gimmicks with a limited amount of traps? "
"I don't know, I didn't come out at all." And somehow, I feel that what comes out of the bamboo tubes is fixed in each room. ”
"Sure enough, once the bamboo tubes came out, there was nothing to do in the room again...... ah"
Yuri looked at the status screen and raised her voice.
"I just got my experience points... and my level went up." We are now [25] "
I'll open the status screen, too.
Yuri was right, it did contain experience points.
”This means that Tetsu Tatsuki is still defeating monsters, right?”
Yeah, that's what's gonna happen.
Party registration with the three of them is still valid. Someone leaves the dungeon or leaves two or more layers and it's automatically disabled... but it hasn't happened yet, so at least everyone hasn't left us.
Not only that, but considering that the experience points are constantly coming in, it seems that they are continuously fighting to the point of battle.
I'll check the names of the most recently defeated monsters.
"Starving Hughes Skeleton..."
When I first saw the name, I looked away from the status screen.
It is better not to be too optimistic.
"Go on, Yuri."
"Yes!... but I'm getting scared."
What do you want?
"Isn't it about time you came...?"
Yuri said while looking at the status screen.
"As you can see from the map, there are fewer rooms I haven't been to..." The moment you transfer, suddenly you have a boss, it would be the worst thing to do. "
"Hmm... I don't think so." Even in the boss' room, it's like a hierarchy with such a big gimmick. Anyway, if you're a medium boss, you should be well prepared before the war. "
"Adventurers have a mysterious trust in dungeons..." Well then, let's move on, shall we? "
Yeah.
Walk to the front of the transfer floor.
The moment I get in, I joke about it and tell Yuri.
I hope you don't have a boss.
"Um, yeah, please stop saying things that make me feel anxious."
However, Yuri didn't hesitate to say it, and she and I got on the transfer floor at the right time.
Your vision is fading.
****
When my vision returned and the state of the room entered my eyes --- I suddenly took a breath.
"Nh...!"
"Ah, Alvin, this is..."
Yuri raised her voice next to her.
There were only three transfer beds in the room.
One is what we've been riding. One is on the left hand side.
In the room up to now, there was a transfer bed on the front diagonal and one on the right hand side.
But there isn't either in this room.
Instead, there was a large transfer bed just halfway between the two originally intended transfer beds.
The transfer bed, which was set one step higher than the surrounding area, was painted with a complex magic circle, and the whole was blurred red.
Furthermore, only the surroundings were dark as if to highlight the light.
Obviously, it is different from other transfer beds.
Yuri says in horror.
”Maybe this is... a transfer to the boss's room...?”
"... I'm sure it will."
That's what the design insists on.
It would be more surprising if it wasn't.
Yuri says with a sigh.
”That's what Mr. Alvin said... I can't believe you're putting up a room for me to prepare so easily”
I told you, I didn't think you'd come.
Nevertheless, I was able to achieve one goal: to find a route to the boss' room.
I'm a little worried.
”Hmm... let's stop exploring around here for a while”
"That's right. I don't think there are any more important rooms, and I don't think my level will rise anymore."
"You've done well enough. For the time being, let's wait for the rescue to arrive."
Roger that!
We leave the transfer floor and walk towards the middle of the room.
Although I was alert, no bamboo tubes appeared.
I breathe out in relief.
"It looks like nothing happened." Let's rest here for a while. "
"...... Mr. Alvin"
At that time, Yuri said while looking at the red transfer bed.
"Around there... there's no way there's anything going on, is there?" As soon as I got close, a lot of bamboo tubes came out..... "
"... no way. I've never heard of a trap in front of the entrance to the boss's room."
"But that's not the entrance, it's the transfer floor." It's on the board and it's getting dark. maybe there's something..... "
Yuri leans between his eyebrows and looks toward the transfer floor.
Apparently, he was exposed to the trap too much and became completely suspicious.
I say with a bitter smile.
"If you care so much, why don't you check now?" It would be tough if everyone at the party got caught up in challenging the boss. "
"... I'll do that. But you should be careful, Mr. Alvin."
While being seen by Yuri, who was completely in position, I was approaching the transfer floor.
If we go up to the planked section, nothing will happen.
I took my time and looked back at Yuri.
"Look, there was nothing..."
At that time.
The sound of a vaccary echoed behind her.
"Whoa! Whoa..."
I turned back in a hurry and lost my voice in amazement.
A large monster appeared in front of the transfer floor.
His body, which stands on two legs, though not as great as that of Cyclops, is great. She had a sword that matched its size and wore the type of armor that Samurai monsters often wore.
It is a human form. But his head, with its sharp horns, was that of a cow.
I murmured unexpectedly.
"Mi, Minotaur...? Where does this come from...?"
Suddenly, I noticed that dust and wooden scraps were falling around the boardroom.
Looking up at the ceiling, there is a large hole.
... apparently it fell from above.
When I was stunned, my gaze glowed.
A string appears diagonally above the mass.
Minotaur Samurai Road.
Medium boss!? Here!?
"That's why I told you!"
Yuri groans in the back.
It was totally unexpected.
I hurry to draw my sword and give instructions to Yuri.
"Oh, let's settle down!" We're about to determine the pattern of attack! "
The samurai of Minotaur waved his sword.
It was the first time I saw a monster, but if it matched the characteristics of the Samurai system, it would be agile and highly attacking.
We need to be careful at first.
The sword is swung down.
I tried to take it with a "parry" ---that's when it happened.
The magical light sphere of the Light Attribute that flew from behind hit Minotaur.
The Gozu samurai bent back (knock back) violently.
I woke up unexpectedly. [M]
And---They look back with expectation.
"Oh, that was a blow." That's Melina. Ah, Alvin!! "
"Hey Kokor! I haven't been able to defeat you yet, so..."
"Ahh! There's Yuri too!" I'm so glad..... "
There were three figures near the transfer floor, separate from the one we came out of.
A blue-haired guru girl waved her hands in a mace.
A blonde wizard girl with a wand in her hand.
A black-haired bandit girl soaks her chest down next to her.
I muttered unintentionally.
"Everyone..."
"Wow! You came to save me!?"
That's right, damn it!
Tete's voice responds to Yuri's cheers. At the same time, the throwing sword flashed.
They hit Minotaur's nose one after the other, and a leaping Tete's knife is pushed into it.
Minotaur, who had just returned, leaned back (knocked back) again.
Tete stands on the floor and says on the top of the Buddha as he looks at the disfigured giant.
"First of all, let's get rid of this guy." I need your help, Alvin. "
At the next moment, the icon lights up on the status screen. They're all familiar.
[Muscle Strength Enhancement] [Agility Enhancement] [Damage Reduction].
"It looks like HP is fine!" I'll probably knock it down before it expires, so I'll be there for you! "
Putting your hand on your waist, Kokoro says with a bouncing voice.
"This is not a zombie system, Minotaur?" "Then I wonder if the lightning attribute is better..." Come on, Alvin. I'll shoot you next time, so make some money. "
Melina said calmly while holding her staff.
I answered, looking at Minotaur, feeling a smile on my face.
Oh, I see!
****
Moooooooooo......
Minotaur quickly fell to his knees and scattered.
I was the boss in the thirty layers. It wasn't a dawn enemy with an average level of 56.
Knocking back after knocking back, I almost defeated it without letting it act properly.
"Huh..."
"Mr. Alvin!!"
As soon as I put down my sword, Kokoro jumped on me.
Ouch!
"I-I was worried too!"
Take my hand and Kokoro gets stuck.
"What the hell were you doing!" I won't admit to sneaking away with Yuri-san! "
”I-I-I-I-I-I don't have the grip...”
"Kokor, stop around here..."
Melina told me to let go of my hand, which I was clutching so hard.
I answer to the pain with a wave of my hand.
"What... I bet you guys have a clue." I got caught in a transfer trap. more than that.... "
I look around at the three of them.
"... you came to help me, didn't you?"
I thought it might be possible because we were fighting strange monsters... but I didn't expect you to come.
Of course!
Kokoro's chest is stretched out.
You're not abandoning party members!
It was tough, though.
Melina smiles bitterly.
"I don't know where the transfer floor is flying here, and there are a lot of strange bosses and traps inside. But I'm glad I found it."
"I knew it... the number of traps was low because you guys were trying to conquer them."
I thought about it as one of the possibilities, but I didn't want to expect too much pleasure.
But... there were three of them.
"Teto-senpan!"
"Don't stick anymore"
By the side, Yuri was hugging Tete.
Tet holds on to it annoyingly.
"I was wondering when you'd come!"
"Damn it... there's a lot of things I can't help if I'm in trouble in a regular dungeon." If I hadn't seen the remaining HP, I would have given up... "
Tet's right. Especially if it was an unbroken dungeon, there was a risk of secondary distress, and I might have made the same decision in the opposite position.
I was able to tell them that I was safe because the party registration was alive.
We'll talk about it later!
Kokoro is fascinated and points to the red transition bed.
"Come on! Let's defeat the boss and get out of here first!"
That's right. It's a 30-layer boss, so I've seen it for the first time, but if you do it normally, you'll be able to defeat it immediately.
Yeah.
I nod my head, too.
After all, that's the only way out.
Well then, let's go.
"Hah, it's finally time for the boss battle." I'm nervous ~..... "
Yuri says in a stiff voice.
It was my first boss fight. You can't help it.
And then we all stepped into the vanished slab of Minotaur...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
At the end, Tete suddenly said:
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, everyone Don't let Yuri follow you, right?
"Eh, am I... no good?"
Of course!
Tete shouted out loud at Yuri.
"Yuri, you're still at level [25]!?" It's too early for a 30-layer boss fight! "
"If you ask me... that's right"
"Somehow it went through normally, but it was." Well then, Yuri-san, wait here.... "
Nooooooo!
But Yuri turned to us and said so clearly.
"I'm going too!" I'm sorry to hear that you only get experience points in this place! Please let me go! "
Haha!?
Tete opens his mouth.
"Yuri, do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know! I know it's dangerous!"
"If so, why..."
Look at this, Tetsu-senpa.
Yuri put out a rainbow bow.
"It's a bow trick that told me to use the tetrodenpack." Now I won't pull my legs anymore due to lack of firepower. "
"That's not true...! It's just firepower!" Even though the HP and Vit (endurance) remain low, the boss fight is reckless! "
"I'm an adventurer!!"
Yuri said so strongly.
I don't want to take this strange dungeon so far and keep it for the last time!
"Yuri..."
"Snap... I've decided to move to an archer's job." After my grandfather died and became an adventurer somehow, I just chose a candidate position that suited my skills, and I was drifting away... but I was thinking of doing this profession (job) myself for the first time. As an adventurer, I'd like to try my hand at archery. "
……
"I want to know what your grandfather's dream was to give up." That's why... we can't stop worshipping the boss here! The owner of the bamboo tube trap is ahead, right? There's no way I wouldn't mind! "
"So, but..."
"Tet, Yuri will be fine."
I said it quietly.
"We've been working together all this time." Yuri could already fight a 30-layer boss. I guarantee it. "
"Ah, even Alvin..."
"And..."
I add, smiling suddenly.
This kind of puzzle solving is a taste of the dungeon, isn't it?
Even adventurers who tend to talk about money and achievements are bound to think about it somewhere in their hearts.
It was interesting to conquer the dungeon.
This may be the reason why people go on adventures.
"We also came to this dungeon because it seems interesting." How sad it is to be out of company for the last time. It's the most interesting place. "
"That's what I'm talking about if we survive!" Hmph, you two have to say something! "
Tete turns to Kokor and Melina.
The two replied with a small smile as they looked at each other.
"I'll put on [Damage Reduction] and [Durability Rise] buffs." If there is a level [25], it should be quite safe. "
"Geez..."
"Your profession (job) is still a scout, isn't it? In that case, the AGI (agility) was secured over the archers, so it would be easier to avoid attacks. Do you know where the rear guard stands?"
Yes! Alvin taught me all about it!
Well, I guess I can try.
"Until Merina..."
"Tete, don't be foolish. I don't think Yuri wants you to be the only one to say this."
"Um, yeah, but... but Yuri's still out there." Even though you don't have enough experience, even if it's a boss fight... at least after you've raised your level even more... "
"Tet"
I'm telling you, I'm worried about Tet.
"Everyone has their first time." Experience can only be gained through opportunity. Adventurer (player) skill does not improve even if you are constantly leveling safely. When you dive into such a difficult dungeon, it can be even more dangerous. ”
That's exactly what the party I belonged to was.
"If you're aiming for the top, eventually you'll experience a boss fight." If this is your first opportunity, now is the perfect time. "
"...... why?"
"Because we're here."
I laugh and tell Tete.
"Because one of them rushed in." We're not the only ones who can collapse. Isn't that right? "
"Ugh..."
"Teto-Senpa"
Yuri turned to Tete.
"I know it's a mess." Still... I want to try! Please! "
It was Tete who had been silent for a while... but eventually, he let out a big breath.
"... ok, that's enough."
"Wow, are you kidding me!?"
"However, don't be reckless!" Of course you don't earn too much hate, but there are some range attacks that sometimes fly regardless of hate, so you can avoid them at all times! ”
"I know, I know!"
Tete seemed to be reluctant, but Yuri seemed happy.
I'll tell the party members with a smile.
"Alright... let's go"
Yes!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Roger that!!
Together, they surrounded the magic circle on the transfer floor.
And I took a step forward.
