Chapter 114: The Bottom Floor Boss

It’s been three weeks since we first entered the dungeon.

We discovered one big thing during this time. When we conquered the 1st floor of the dungeon for the first time and went to the 2nd floor, I left behind Chappy and one stick of firewood.

The reason I did so was because of what the Dungeon Management System, a cube-shaped object, told us. I thought about it carefully and experimented on it.

We were told, “Depending on the party and the room you enter, you will be sent to a different dimension. No other adventurers will come, and therefore no help will come, so please be prepared.”

When I first heard about the dungeon being a different dimension, and no other adventurers would be able to enter, I was happy to know that I could summon as many summons as I wanted without being seen by other adventurers, but as I progressed through the dungeon, I noticed another possibility.

The reason I realized its potential was because room 205 was so small. It could only hold 20 people at best. It was very unlikely that 50 people could fit in there. However, the staff of the Real Estate Guild said that 50 people could go to the dungeon.

Maybe C-class or A-class dungeons have bigger rooms as entrances.

According to the Dungeon Management System, the dungeon we enter is not different for each individual adventurer. They said that the dimension of the dungeon is different depending on the room and the adventuring party.

I thought that a 50-member adventuring party could split into multiple rooms and meet up in the same dimensional dungeon inside. Then we might be able to get ourselves into the same dungeon again. It makes sense to put them in the same dungeon.

So I put down a clear marker, and when we went back the next day, we were sent to the second level of the C-class dungeon where the firewood and Chappy were.

I asked the Dungeon Management System if my guess was correct, and it was.

Apparently, dungeons recognize the rooms and adventuring parties that enter them, and construct dungeons of countless dimensions.

You can enter the dungeon as many times as you want in a day, and apparently there are no restrictions. It seems that the dungeons have existed since before the Demon King’s appearance, but who is in charge of it?

The Dungeon General System told me that there were two caveats.

The first is that if you enter another room in a building, even if it is a dungeon of the same rank, it is considered a different dungeon and you cannot go to the same place as last time.

The second point is that if a month goes by without entering a single dungeon, the record of that dungeon will be lost. No relics will be left behind.

After hearing all this, I went into the dungeon in the morning before going to the school to have the summons collect the magic stones. I summoned five summons for each of the first and second floors to collect the magic stones, and since I had never been to the second level, I also made a map.

I can collect the magic stone without anyone disturbing me or noticing.

In one day, I was able to collect about 200 magic stones on one floor and 200 counting both floors. The probability of finding a magical beast inside the dungeon is higher than outside the city of Granver. I’ve been collecting magic stones every day since then, and even when I’m conquering dungeons with others, my summons are diligently doing their work.

I think that three years will pass by in just a blink of an eye.

Finally, after five days of exploring, we arrived at what we thought was the lowest floor.

Arriving at the sixth floor, we noticed something strange.

“Hey, there’s a door in the back.”

“Yeah.”

Cecile and Kurena were having a normal conversation. Since they live on the same third floor at the base, their conversation has become quite lively.

The Dungeon Management System told us that the first place we flew to in this dungeon where we were having a conversation was a safe zone. And from this safe zone, the labyrinth begins like a passage. Since it was a passageway, the previous five floors were open, but this sixth floor has a huge door.

“Is this the bottom floor?”

“I guess so. The C-class dungeons have a maximum of six floors. I think it’s safe to assume that this door is connected to the boss room.”

We’ve just conquered the fifth floor, so I don’t know what time it is, but I think it’s evening. We don’t have watches. We were talking about buying a watch as our portable magic tool.

We were going to leave, but since we were already there, we decided to defeat the bottom floor boss.

The door was massive, and the pattern on the door gave off the vibe that there was a powerful enemy ahead.

When I touched the door, it made a gurgling sound and opened by itself. At the end of the door, there was a circular square with a radius of about 100 meters.

In the center of the square, there was a Goblin King and about ten Goblins. They were frozen in place, not moving a muscle.

(Do they move when we get within a certain distance from them?)

“I see, the bosses in the C-class dungeon are one C-rank magical beast and about ten D-rank magical beasts.”

I gave my analysis, and the three of them nodded their heads in agreement.

The C-class dungeons have a C-rank magical beast as its boss and a B-class dungeon probably has a B-rank magical beast as its boss.

“Hey.”

“Hmm?”

“I think we should know about Allen’s powers.”

“Yeah?”

“So, can you please defeat these magical beasts?”

“Whoa! Allen’s summon!”

“That’s right. It’s true, I’d like to see Allen’s summon fight too.”

Kurena and Dogora agree with Cecile when she says that I should take them all down.

Up to this point, Cecile has basically been defeating all the magical beasts, using her magic. Cecile is now level 10, and the skill level cap has been removed. Her skill level now goes up to 2.

Cecile has been the main attacker, since she can now gain experience and the long-range attacks will save time.

In addition, Kurena and Dogora still haven’t gained any skill experience. They don’t know how to activate their skills either. They are struggling more than I expected.

(No, Cecile’s right. It’s only a C-class dungeon, so I don’t have much of a role to play, but when we reach B-class and then A-class A dungeon, my summons will probably be needed to conquer it, so it’s a good idea to show it to them now.)

Unlike Cecile, Kurena and Dogora have only seen small Birds and Insect summons. They should know the usefulness of my summons by now.

(Now, look at my strength, when my <Strengthening> skill has reached 6.)

I finally reached <Strengthening> level 6 last month.

Then, I’ve been working on raising the level of <Create> and <Synthesis>. With the request from the Adventurer’s Guild and the magic stones I have now, I have replaced 35,000 D-rank magic stones with [Mana Fruit]s.

It can be made with five D-rank magic stones that restores 1000 mana. One magic stone will restore 200 mana.

I had 35,000 D-rank magic stones, so it was equivalent to 7 million skill experience.

Note: The effect of <Strengthening> level 6 is to increase two statuses by +500.

“One moment, please.

Saying that, I removed 10 D-rank Fishes to make room in the Holder. Then I repeat the process of <Create>, <Synthesis>, and <Strengthening>.

“What is it?”

“It’s amazing!”

Dogora and Kurena were surprised by the fast moving Grimoire.

Dogora and Kurena were surprised to see magic for the first time with Cecile’s attack magic, but there was another kind of surprise in store for them.

Underneath the boss was a magic circle, floating slightly above the cobblestone ground. We got closer and closer to the boss.

I was in the lead, followed by Kurena and Dogora, with Cecile in last.

With less than fifty meters between us, the magical beasts began to move.

“Bears, defeat them. Bron, you protect us.”

Eight D-rank Bears appeared and surrounded the magical beasts. The Bears then used their [Crunch] skill to lay waste to the magical beasts. Two D-rank Brons were placed in front of me for a preliminary exercise, but they were unnecessary.

The eight Bears defeated both the Goblin King and the Goblins in a single blow. They were no match for my strengthened summons.

“Yeah! Isn’t it amazing!!!”

“Oh, my God! It happened so fast!”

“…”

Cecile bragged about it for some reason. Both Kurena and Dogora watched the fight with a look of surprise on their faces.

The magical beasts turned into magical stones.

“Okay, you defeated them?”

After defeating the boss, a new magic circle appeared in front of us. We were surprised for a moment, but a treasure chest appeared from the magic circle. It looked like a wooden box.

(Did I mention that there are no mimic magical beasts in the treasure chests that come with the rewards for defeating them?)

I took the lead in approaching the treasure chest and opening it, while the others watched from the back with excitement.

What was inside was a steel sword.

“It’s called the bottom floor boss reward. This reward is available once a day.”

“That’s what I thought.”

The lowest level boss can be challenged once a day by each adventuring party.

This is how we conquered our first C-class dungeon.
