Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 124: Beyond the Midpoint
On the second night, I made leather gloves with Nil and sewed a metal plate on the back of my hand where the heat magic I had made was activated to complete the magic trick.
If you try it on, it will be quite usable if your hands get warm and cold. Incidentally, even appraisal magic...
[Leather gloves]... Leather gloves with magic of Heat passing all the time.
Recognised as a magic tool! We did it!
Thus he spent the second night in the safety zone after the fiftieth floor the next morning.
"You've already digested half of this dungeon.
"Finally.
"I have heard from my master that this dungeon is up to half, and from half to half that it is completely different.
The information I saw on the internet also indicated that there had been a considerable increase in dropouts from the fifty-first floor.
"I think it's going to slow down at once from here. Keep moving while ensuring safety. Be careful not to overdo it.
"Ok!
Shit.....
Fifty-first level.
As soon as I opened the door, I understood what was going on.
This is a poisonous fog area. Clearly a suspicious purple mist is spreading throughout the room. Nil and I have the magic trick of the wind mask...
"Poison control is perfect!
Apparently Gonzo is just about ready to challenge the dungeon. Unlike us, it seems to be a type that covers the mouth and nose with something like a hand wipe. It is necessary to immerse the poison in a cloth and re-immerse the poison every hour, but the effect of being able to void the poison is the same.
"Rats... didn't work like this.
Yeah! That's enough!
Rato walks out of the safe zone irrelevantly. It's a big body.
"Still... this is definitely an egg..."
The vision is light purple. Even if you try to illuminate it with light, it will reflect randomly and you will not be able to see it. Phantom, Lamp Glazing, and Dark Craise are the ones who look slightly out of sight, even for free. There are only semi-transparent monsters, and I don't know how many are there.
Keep moving!
Everyone disperses and keeps moving. We're not semi-transparent, so we can check each other out, and we don't miss the magic light.
Gonzo was also given a sword of grievance. You won't lose if you fight each other.
"Huh?!
Running in the purple mist, the magical formation of light suddenly emits from the left hand direction.
Avoid flying magic as you roll forward and immediately slay the place with a water sword.
The purple fog drifts slightly on the air currents created by the sword.
Zann!
Vuuuuuuuuu!
There's a response.
Apparently it was dark lace. The moment I slashed it, I saw it for a moment.
"Huh?!
Next on the right!
A black spear flew in front of you as you dodged back in the direction of a spiral. Intermediate Dark Magic Black Spear.
This is probably the work of Phantom.
Zann!
"Shit, you're late!
I shook my sword, but after it had already been moved, I couldn't respond.
Boo!
The sound of fire coming from behind.
In the purple mist, a blue light flies in.
"Next to Next!
Instantly shoot back the light shot that was drawn with your left hand by spreading the flame.
"Nuuuuuuuuuuu!!
Looks like he hit the lamp glage pretty well. The shadow disappears with a loud voice.
"Haah!
Zashh!
"Let's cum!
Bush!
Beyond the purple line of sight, Nil and Gonzo's voice can be heard. Looks like they're killing their enemies.
Don't run away!
Rato is still ravaging his enemies at his own speed. An enemy who has fought once, Rato has a feeling other than vision, and it doesn't seem to be such a struggling room.
It was a sudden poisonous mist, but the destruction was completed in about 20 minutes.
"You've suddenly changed.
"You know the dungeon is coming to kill the intruder... Even though it's only half..."
This is still middle class. Advanced Hierarchy and Boss Rush remain ahead. You're going to need a tough fight.
Shit.....
Open the door to the 52nd floor.
As always, purple vision.
A small shadow passes through the edges of your eyes.
Paralyzed mouse...
A C-ranked monster with a yellow halibut of about 50 centimeters. This purple fog will be numb and poisonous to see you moving around alive. There are three of them just to see.
"That's... Stingfries.
In the purple fog, you can see a small shadow in the sky.
It is about ten centimeters in size. Its body is dark purple, and four elongated wings are clear purple like amethysts.
It looks like a dragonfly, but the buttocks are like the tail of a scorpion and the tip is sharp and pointed.
Among the B-ranked monsters, it is a small type of monster that originally inhabits deep in forests with rivers. I don't know... how many of them are there. It is very difficult to see if it is misted in purple fog.
Just in case, the rat can recognize the winged sound, and you can see the slight airflow produced by the winged sound, so you'll know when you get close...
And on the wall is a subspecies of Thread Spider... It's an A-Rank monster.
The threads wrapped around the body are green and look just different in color from regular thread spiders. The size does not change to about 30 cm.
However, this thread spider subspecies yarn is almost non-adhesive and very rigid. The ultra-fine, hard thread is like a piano wire, and if you move in the dark with it stretched around the room, your neck and limbs will be cut. The thread can be cut immediately with a blade or the like, but it cannot be burned with fire magic.
In a room with such poor visibility, there is no way to see thread spider subspecies or other threads, and they are not visible enough to say nothing.
The salvation is that all three types of monsters don't use magic. Due to the properties of the thread, the thread spider subspecies will not fly the thread, and if they try to attack us, they will have to come closer.
"I can't move this time..."
When I shake my sword properly, it seems that there was a thread, and there was a buzzing sound and a slight feeling was transmitted to my hand.
I don't really understand this either...
Even Rato doesn't seem to know where the yarn hanging in this room is.
"If I can't move... I'll attack with magic as I cut into the tunnel, and if I get close, I'll attack physically... Be careful not to jump out of here.
"Ok!
"I understand!
Okay!
It is the opposite of the fifty-first hierarchy. Walk slowly through the room while checking several times to prevent your body from touching the thread.
Keep an eye on the walls and ceilings to avoid overlooking the thread spider subspecies as much as possible. Even with the fog standing in, I don't think we'll miss it if it's 30 centimeters long...
Cuine!
When you hear a unique high sound of metal thread pulling, a thread spider variant appears in front of you.
Looks like they're hanging from the ceiling with threads. I'm moving my feet as if I were telling you to come over here.
"Let's take such a provocation.
Lift the water blade and swing it vertically. Swordsmanship and thunderbolts fly the slash.
Buzz buzz!
The hard thread that would have been there was cut, and the body of the falling thread spider subspecies was slit and flew.
The movement of monsters has changed dramatically since they came here. There was no such thing as a provocative move.
Some people may catch a light provocation if it comes from the placement on the other side of the monitor, but I live here. I can't die. I can't afford to ride such a cheap provocation.
"Gonzo, don't taunt me!
Zashh!
"I'm not such a provocative person!
He cuts the Stingfries body in front of him with a knife and returns a reply to me a little farther away.
Even the pig rush type gonzo seems to understand that much.
Nil certainly doesn't take such a provocation, and Rato has a childish personality, but he's a big senpai who lived until he became a half-hearted soul. I can more accurately determine whether or not to be in danger if I ride provocation.
It was only thirty minutes later that I slowly arrived at the opposite wall, destroying the monsters in the room. After all, it took an overwhelming increase in the time spent on one floor.
In the end, by the time we reached the fifty-fifth floor, half a day had passed.
"I'm glad the poisonous fog area is the last place...
"It's hard to have bad vision.
Shit.....
Open the door to the 55th floor.
Boyong... Boyong...
From the moment it opens, you can hear soft balls bouncing that you're not used to hearing.
The 55th floor is the same as a room with spreading poison mist, but the size of the room has suddenly decreased to 20 meters in all directions.
Two purple spheres are bouncing in the center of the small room.
It looks close to the slime and has a semi-transparent purple body.
However, it is not as smooth as a slime, has no nucleus, has a rough surface, and seems to be as resilient as it jumps.
I remember this guy.
His name is Poison Ball. It's an A-Rank monster.
From the surface of the body, it is constantly vaporizing the paralysis poison, and the body seems to be a particularly strong mass of paralysis poison. The players who cleared here had concluded that this creature was a completely different creature from the slime.
The attack method hits the opponent, touching the surface of the opponent's body and causing it to attach its powerful numbness poison directly.
The poisonous mist covers your body with wind magic just to keep it from touching your body, but if you are physically attacked, it cannot be prevented by this amount of wind magic.
When I saw it online, I thought it was a weak A-rank monster... but now I can understand that it was the wrong perception.
Dodd, dodd, dodd!
Poison balls are heavily distorted at the moment they are placed on the ground after several bounces, jumping up to the ceiling at once, and then bouncing around the walls, the ceiling, the floor and the room one after the other.
It is a speed that can be followed by the eye at first sight, but the angle of reflection (soldering) when bouncing back is fragmented. The ball bounces back. And two.
"Rat! Is that poison okay?!
Probably not good! It smells dangerous!
"Gonzo! Holy Shields can only be defended five times! If we don't put a piece together by then, we can do it in no time!
"I understand!!
Gonzo holds the sword in his right hand and goes forward. Nil will follow after that.
"Pokémon, jump around! I'll slash you!
Bassin!
Boom!
The Poison Ball hits Gonzo from the side and the Holy Shield plays.
Gonzo immediately turns to counterattack, but he can't make it after he's already bounced back.
"Don't go too far!
Bassin!
Another assault was captured by Nil with a shield of black flowers.
The Defensive Magic is too fast to catch up with the opponent.
They'll do it like this. Activate the quickly drawn magic team.
Intermediate Wind Magic, Cutter Cyclone. Magic that causes a tornado that contains a blade of wind around the object, the object is Gonzo.
Zashh!
The blade of wind hits the body of the approaching poison ball.
Boyong Boyong...
A Poison Ball that took damage and lost momentum jumps twice over the floor.
"Welcome!
Zan Zan Zan Zan Zan!
Gonzo, who was looking at it, immediately approached it and waved his sword many times, chopping the poison ball into thin pieces.
Bassin!
The other Poison Ball that pierced the gap sews the gap in the cutter cyclone from behind Gonzo to launch an attack.
"I won't let you escape!
Zashh!
Nil, who was watching the movement closely, ran a pale spark over the poison ball that was about to bounce back.
Boyong Boyong...
A straightened poison ball falls to the floor and stops moving.
"... didn't you defeat me...?
That line is not good. Gonzo.
Boyong... Boyong...
The Poison Ball that Gonzo was supposed to chop starts to bounce back to its original shape.
Nil's chopped poison ball is also moving back to its original shape.
"You mean you can't defeat him just by slashing him..."
Honestly, I don't want to use it much...
Nil! Flame prisons!
Nil, who moved his shoulders to my words, immediately began to draw a magical formation.
When it comes to poisonous gases, there is an image that combustible gases are mixed, but the fog floats around. Speaking of which, it's water vapor. There is no mixing of combustible gases.
However, the body of the poison ball looks like water with high viscosity. Using fire magic will naturally evaporate, and it is highly likely that a high concentration of paralyzing poison mist will occur.
Even if you cover your body with wind magic, you have the courage to use fire magic knowing that such an environment will happen.
However, as it stands, I can only think of a way to defeat a poison ball without a nucleus by evaporating it.
I use intermediate fire magic, flame prisons.
A flame version of the Aquarius that encases the subject in a hot flame. It is judged that there is nothing to escape with this magic, but there is no doubt that the high concentration of poisonous mist that is worrying occurs.
There are non-scientific forces in this world called magic, but at the same time there are scientific and physical laws.
Law of Mass Conservation.
Before and after the chemical reaction, the total amount of the substance becomes equal, but this also applies to the state change called vaporization of the poison ball. To be precise, it is only a chemical reaction with a change of state. It's only natural that the water should be preserved because it becomes fine and steam...
In other words, the whole body of a basketball-sized poison ball that is vigorously bouncing around with Boyong Boyong becomes water vapor. If you think about it with water, it's about a thousand and seven hundred times larger. It will be quite a lot. And because it's two... this space will become purple and you won't be able to see it.
"Ready!
Nil first! I'll take care of the rest!
Yes!
Bassin!
Gonzo already has one Holy Shield left.
We must definitely capture it.
"Here we go!
When Nil's hand shines red, a poison ball bouncing off the right wall of the room is trapped in a fire jail.
At that moment, a true purple vapor begins to form around it.
Gumu!
Bucky!
Zashh!
A poison ball that destroyed Gonzo's last holy shield. But Gonzo's sword captures his body.
"Get away!"
Gonzo immediately flies back and locks another Poison Ball in the Fire Jail with a sharp reduction in speed at that time.
There is a high concentration of numbness and poisonous mist covering the room. I want to believe that it's okay... because it has wind magic on Rato.
………
……………
Kathari...
Holding still for a few seconds will unlock the door that leads to the back.
There seems to be no abnormality in the body.
"Before I open the door, the wind will magically keep the poisonous fog from flowing into the safe zone..."
If you enter a little, you will get numb and unable to move in a safe zone.
The wind magically blocks the airflow before opening the door.
Shit.....
After rinsing your body with water magic, you finally step into a safe zone.
"Phew... it's completely different from before..."
"My spiritual strength isn't shredded by my physical strength and magic..."
I couldn't do anything in the last room.
"I couldn't do anything after all..."
"No, no, it's the right material. Don't worry, you're doing it when you can.
In fact, Rato and Gonzo are moving quite a bit. It's not my responsibility to take the initiative, and Nil and I are very helpful.
We were trying to attack alone at first, but I don't think we could do it now.
"After lunch, we'll move on. If possible, 60... no, I want to go up to 65 levels.
"I understand. Don't take back what you couldn't work for!
I'll do my best too!
It seems that they are quick to recover.
After an hour of rest, open the next door.
Shit.....
Fifty-sixth hierarchy.
Did the wish to stop the poisonous fog... come true? Even if I open the door, my vision is good.
However, the structure of the room is quite perverted.
The place where we opened the door was a spherical space with a diameter of just over 50 meters. It has a spherical shape through the stone.
The doors are at both ends, just midway up and down. It is located at a height of more than 25 meters. There is a scaffold, and the door tip is not suddenly a wall, but there are only two meters square floors, and once you get down, you have to climb to the scaffold on the other side of the door. Using magic isn't such a difficult task....
"Are you going to get out of here...?
It would be a little scary to get off with two bottles.
"The monsters are well placed, so it seems impossible to get off slowly.
At the lowest point of the spherical space, there are two C-rank monsters, a goblin. Fifteen B-rank Monsters, Blue Snails. A rank monster, eight trolls.
There are few C-ranked monsters left.
"I think Gonzo and Rato will be able to help.
That's right! I'm the best!
From a rat's point of view, this kind of slope feels like a slide in Japan. First, he jumped off the scaffold and ran down to the bottom.
"... eh! Hantaru, what are you going to do with this height? Go, go, go! I don't know."
Don't!
"Heh?! Lord Nil?!
A blow without Nil's mercy to Gonzo, who can't move on with all kinds of temper.
Do you hate Gonzo...? Ah... speaking of which, I didn't apologize about it after I said something about a girl... and I was out a while ago...
"Please hurry up.
I wonder if you have cold eyes... let's not look at them. I think it's going to be a dream.
"Umurabukahhhh?!
Gorgeous, gorgeous!
Gonzo rolls down an acrobatic slope. Nanwu.
"Let's go. Master!
"I see.
