On holidays, we began exploring the twentieth floor of the Labyrinth (Dungeon).
It was a normal cave up to the twentieth floor, but the forest suddenly spread from the twentieth floor.
I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what happened.
I thought the stairs would be long, but the ceilings are very high and trees like the tropics are bushy.
The appearance and climate are perfectly Amazon. I've never been there, but it's an image.
The temperature and humidity are very high. The discomfort index is huge.
Monsters often appeared as tropical crocodiles in addition to animal systems like wolves and bears.
And there are a lot of moving trees, Trent.
About a quarter of the dense forest consists of torrents.
There is not much danger because there are only monsters that can be defeated with a single blow, even with swords and magic, but it is a little troublesome because there are many.
There is no reason not to defeat it, so I will defeat as many monsters as I can.
By the way, the fact that it is unnecessary is not about the material.
Recently, the Alliance's demolition yard has been fully operational, so I've been trying to collect only the Magic Nucleus, except for monsters that can be a very useful material.
Therefore, I am not in trouble with money.
Then why are you defeating monsters? It's for training.
Among adventurers, it is often rumored that the more you defeat a monster, the stronger it becomes.
Because there is no scientific basis and I can't prove it, it's just a rumor... but I have 'insight'.
I repeatedly verified my status before and after defeating the monster, defeating and confirming, and found that my status had risen after defeating the monster, although it was trace.
And the rate of increase seems to be decreasing year by year.
I think it's more efficient to absorb what the younger ones probably get after defeating monsters, which I call experience points.
That's why I try to hunt the monsters I see whenever I can.
In that regard, the labyrinth is perfect for training.
The more you hunt, the more rewards you'll get, the more monsters will spring up, and it's easy to hunt a lot because it's dense in narrow spaces.
It's too tasty to earn experience and money.
And so I was cutting through the Amazon layer without my heart, and somehow I was in front of the boss's room.
Take a light break and step into the boss's room without being particularly upset.
There were giant trees about two meters in diameter with big trunks and lots of crocodiles.
The central giant tree is Eldertrent, and the surrounding crocodiles are Death Aligates.
When I step into the room, the Death Aligates swarm with great momentum. [M]
I know I can't lose, but honestly, I'm a little scared.
... I'm building a pile of Death Aligates bodies with thunder magic and swords, but there's no sign of any reduction.
Looks like Eldertrent is summoning us.
The type that summons the surroundings to infinity... I think I'll have to hit my best friend first.
Slash Death Aligates to death and run to Eldertrent.
But it's not that easy, Eldertrent treats countless branches like spears and puts up a barrage.
And a lot of Death Aligates around are also aggressively firing attacks, so they can't get close to Eldertrent.
Yeah, it's troublesome!
"Thunderbolt Crash"
The lightning struck by magic was sucked into Eldertrent and made a roar.
Eldertrent was scorched from the inside by lightning and silenced by a single blow.
The Des Aligates are staring at Eldertrent, who was defeated in a single blow.
Are you sure you don't want to do that?
I knocked Thunder Arrow Rain into the stupid Des Aligates and hunted it all down.
Proceeding to the thirty floors, the ground was muddy.
There are puddles and swamps everywhere.
And gas is blowing out from all over the ground.
... smells.
A little further, there was Death Aligates in the swamp.
I beat him to pieces in the boss's room, so I beat him without any particular emotion.
Then there were muddy slimes, muddy golems, and big lizards that spit poison.
I had reached the stairs on the 31st floor, but I felt sick because of the smell or because of the gas that was ejecting.
The monsters are getting stronger, and many monsters that are difficult to physically attack are slowing down, so it seems that it will be tough to get down to 40 levels by today.
I feel like working a little more overtime, but it's disgusting, so let's go home today....
Next time, we need to make sure we don't forget the gas measures.
We haven't met, but there must be someone exploring this hierarchy, and there must be something we can do about it.
Otherwise, we'll have to wrap the cloth around our mouth for now.
He did not go down to the thirty-first floor and returned to the ground on the labyrinth transfer.
I was thinking of going to the Adventurer Alliance for a reward, but my body stinks.
In the labyrinth, the whole space smelled so I didn't care, but when I went out to the ground, I found that the smell was staining my body.
The receptionist's brother also frowned and walked away gently. I'm gonna cry.
I wanted to take a bath immediately, but I didn't want to go back to the dorm and meet my classmates, so I bought soap nuts at the grocery store in front of the labyrinth and washed my body and clothes in the river.
Soap nuts are candy tiny tree nuts that break in place of soap.
There is soap in this country, but it is so expensive that female adventurers use cheap soap nuts to wash their bodies.
Well, I went to collect the reward from the Adventurer Alliance to see if I could smell it.
◆
"Kun-kun... Sirius-kun, you smell a little... maybe you've gone to the thirty floors?
While saying that, Celia handles the affairs.
I thought the smell wasn't completely removed, but it's quite shocking that a beautiful woman would say it smells....
"There's a stench of gas coming out of that floor... I didn't stay that long, but I still can't get the smell out of it..."
"If you go to the thirty storeys and smell like this, you're much better off. They say they can't smell it for three days if they dive there... and that's why adventurers generally only explore on more than 30 floors."
"That gas is pretty tough... don't you think it's a good countermeasure item?
"Yes, there is. If it's cheap, it's a mask, if it's expensive, it's a magic stone of the wind. The gas over there is weak, but it seems to contain toxic ingredients, so a mask would not completely prevent it. If it's a short time, but if it's a long dive, I recommend the Wind Magic Stone."
"That's right, thank you. Still, it smells good, but it seems like it's actually coming in, but that floor."
"You know, it's like exploring at least 30 stories deep at a B-rank party. If you're in B Rank, you don't have to go out of your way to explore the stinky, drowsy labyrinth, but there's plenty more real work to do.
Especially since the King's City Labyrinth is well explored and mapped by the state, it is for beginners, but there is no new discovery and the taste of diving deep is weak. That's why the advanced ranks will move on to other more realistic requests, or they will travel in search of a labyrinth where exploration of the country has not progressed. "
Well, that labyrinth is for beginners, so there's hardly any adventurers down there...
Moreover, since the National Labyrinth Attack Corps has scored a considerable number of attacks, it makes little sense for adventurers to dive hard.
It's disgusting for me to stop the attack halfway, and I don't want to stop the labyrinth because I want to see how far I can go. [M]
"The reward... ah! You've already accumulated points for C-Rank promotion!? As always, the number of monster crusades... is really enthusiastic about the job... it would be helpful for the guild, but if you work too much with such a tiny body, you'll die of overwork.
"Haha... I'll be careful..."
It's too funny because he's really overworked and died once.
Well, you don't work at all compared to those days, and you won't die of overwork at this level.
Humans can work more if they care.
"Now, Sirius Astelle, I'm going to certify you as C Rank from today!
"Yes, thank you!
Celia corrected herself and gave me a new guild card.
When I was in D rank, it was a dull bronze card, but the C rank card was a little black iron.
I don't think it's bad with coloring that feels like an adventurous person.
If it reaches C rank, it will also be a rank where the client can gain trust.
Generally, F is an amateur E, and D is seen as a beginner and a subadventurer, but when C is reached, it seems that there is a track record and ability there.
Incidentally, rank B is high enough to be held by aristocrats, and rank A is high enough to be held by senior aristocrats and small royals.
S rank seems to be enough to interact equitably with the royal family.
There are SS ranks and SSS ranks in the system, but they don't seem to be very common.
In fact, there aren't any SSS-ranked adventurers today, and it seems to have been certified as a brave man decades ago... an urban legend level.
Well, that's none of my business.
"If you get promoted with this momentum, you'll soon be ranked A. I don't have any prospects for the future... I knew I'd have to stick around right now..."
"Hmm? Did you say something?
"It's nothing. Ufufufu"
For some reason, Celia saw me off with a strange smile and left the Adventurer Alliance behind.
