21-17 Pride, threat of boss room

Physical condition good. My health is good. Your equipment is good.

I was fired up after I had done my magic training as usual, breakfast and that one.

The undead labyrinth I named (tentatively) stinks.

I've been thinking about it since then, but actually there weren't many exorcists like me who could stand the stinky smell and explore it.

If this was all the work that all the newbies had done, if they cracked it all in the shortest amount of time, they'd get some kind of luxurious prize, right?

Just the thought of that made me excited, albeit just a wish, and I woke up earlier than usual.

Yesterday, out of the approximately P90,000 I saved in ten days, thinking that the more cards in my hand the better, I used P50,000 out of the approximately P90,000 I saved in ten days to buy a holy silver bow and twenty silver arrows, although not very well, and shoved them into my magic bag.

Currently, in my magic bag, I have an easy to pass magic power sword that Brod-san gave me (Mithril's sword, though Luciel hasn't noticed), a holy silver one-handed sword, a holy silver short spear, four barrels of object X, and an arrow case containing a holy silver bow and silver arrows.

''The rest of this lunchbox will be full when I shove it in there. I don't know how much something with more capacity than this will cost when I get paid, but I'd like to get a new one. Then let's go.

I stepped into the undead labyrinth (temporarily).

After a single level, after 10-20 minutes of exploration for the experience, I took a break in front of the 10th level boss room.

''Jolt-san said it was a group, so depending on the amount of enemies, let's release purification magic first, and after defeating the enemies, we'll gradually defeat them with swords and spears. When it's in danger, I'll use the cleansing magic again. Yeah, it's simple, but it's solo, so that's it.

It's a hallucination anyway, and this labyrinth (temporarily) is a training camp for newcomers anyway.

Thus, I licked the boss room and put my ear to the boss room just in case before I rushed in. However, there was no sign of a sound.

''I wonder who's letting out demons or something in this one? Oh, to cheer you up, let's have a drink first.

I get out the barrel and drink the object X to get fired up.

The quality of the people who make hallucinogenic demons that deal with this smell, even though they are hallucinations, is also amazing. Well, let's go now.

At the tenth level, I opened the door to this boss room, and I would learn the true horror of demons.

I didn't pay attention to it, but when I looked inside, it was dark inside.

''I don't need this kind of staging, though.

I held my weapon at the ready and advanced inside. Then, suddenly with a bang, the door closed with great force.

However, I was expecting this development, and I didn't take my gaze off my eyes.

As soon as the door closed, the dimly lit room was lit up as much as the labyrinth until now, and the demons appeared all at once.

''Hey, this number is indeed unexpected!''

It was a horde of demons as far as the eye could see.

The boss room was roughly thirty meters square, and within it, all the enemies we had fought so far appeared, including zombies, skeleton knights, archers, ghosts, and wil-o-wisps.

But if that was all there was to it, it wasn't much of a problem.

I wasn't going to be caught off guard, but I didn't even feel a sign of them, so I was completely against the door, 180 degrees to the left and right with my back to the front, Ghosts in the sky, and fireballs flooding the sky, but I was still just surrounded.

I was impatient, but it wasn't a big problem, I was impatient so far, but it should have been manageable enough.

I quickly pulled myself together and chanted a purification spell.

I chanted, "Holy healing hand, the breath of Mother Earth, be my body and my obstacle, let the impure beings return to their proper path. Purification.

But nothing happened.

On the contrary, "You don't feel the magic leave? This added to the confusion.

No amount of undead demons would miss this situation, and they launched an all-out attack towards me.

For the first time since I came to this world, I was in a desperate pinch for the first time.

I wielded the sword and spear in both hands, passing my magic power through them. There's no mold or anything else.

I want you to think about it. Up until now, we have defeated a few with weapons and fought the horde with purification magic.

It's the only way to get the best out of it, and that's why it's coming at me from back and forth, side to side, and even from above, where I can't use my magic. As expected, this was too scary, even if I was hallucinating.

''Shit, shit, shit, don't come.''

I desperately wield my sword and spear like a child kneading a spoilsport.

''No way is this a magic sealing room? d*mn it, you don't want to give away such a luxurious prize. But it's all my pride. I'm not the hero of the story or a genius. I didn't gather enough information. I got what I deserved, that's all. You were the weak link in the chain. You were smart. "Shit.

I desperately defeat the demon with the weapons in both hands, disgusted at my own bypass.

'Chi, it hurts even though I'm hallucinating. Is this the otherworldly version of hallucinatory pain? Ouch, who are you! You were scratching me, and I'm telling you that that hurts, that hurts. Don't bite me. I'm already mad at you.

I started to run, pouring my magic power into my sword and spear and swinging it around.

I wasn't going to win unscathed. But Instructor Brod's training was more painful and much scarier.

Swinging my sword, "Say," the lance attacked me, "Sweet," little by little I reduced the number of enemies.

(This is the boss stage? If this were real, my knees would be laughing in fear and I'd be stuck.)

Luciel doesn't believe this is real, and I'll clear the boss room to avoid game over and get a great prize. She turned those desires into power and wielded both weapons, concentrating on the enemy in front of her, and wielded both weapons in her hands.

I didn't know how much time had passed. All of the attacks he received were minor, though he had a few scratches here and there, thanks to his excellent armor.

The numbers didn't dwindle at all, as if the enemies were springing up even after they were defeated. Still, he ran desperately to take them down so that he wouldn't be surrounded by them, making space for them to run.

Thus, isn't it infinite? When I killed all the undead that I thought so, the entire ground was covered with magical stones.

''Hah hah hah.''

I was so exhausted that it was hard for me to stand.

My strength and magic power were nearing their limits. I just told Instructor Brod, "Run! He would run if he was ordered to, but if he ran a little, he was sure to fall forward, and he was in such a state.

I'm grateful that Instructor Brod let me study under him. Now, it's a pain in the ass, but let's pick up the magic stone and when we get out of here, we'll do some recovery magic...?

I had a bad feeling, and I spun around, flying forward. Then, with a thud, something tremendous fell to where I was.

I looked up at the ceiling as I felt a tremendous killing spirit from the ceiling, something I've never seen before.

'Hey, hey, wasn't that the boss fight you just had? Is that such a luxury perk? Is the Healer's Guild Headquarters surprisingly stingy? Or... I guess I'm just weak...

The one who appeared was an undead dressed in pure white vestments and holding an expensive looking staff that contained a tremendous amount of magical power. It was also wearing a crown.

''Hey, hey. Why are you a wight? You know, the classic fantasy staple, like the Wraith!

I don't know if those words offended him or not, but in the next moment, a black light was released from the wight just as I felt the magic power gather and increase in my wand all at once.

The speed of the black light was clearly on a different level... no, it was too different from the enemy until now.

The speed was so unexpected that I couldn't avoid it and snatched at my right thigh a bit. So... just by snatching it, a searing pain ran through my body.

''Kuh. [Holy Healing Hand, feed on my magic power to heal his own, Heal] d*mn it, why doesn't my magic activate? It's not fair that I'm the only one with a magic binding or something.

Yes. My magic didn't work.

'I'm not going to die until I clear the boss stage and get my bonus.

I was no longer completely confused, and the bonus from my salaried days and the prizes for clearing the boss room were all mixed up.

I threw my magic into the lance as hard as I could at the wight, who was about to release his dark magic.

Then, instead of releasing the magic, the wight ran away in a big way. It looked like he didn't want to get close and was afraid.

As soon as I saw that, I decided to take a big gamble.
