22-18 Settlement of the boss battle and negotiations with the Pope

I shoved my hand into the magic bag underneath my church robes, which was in the state of a shoulder bag, and pulled out a holy silver bow and a quiver of arrows.

'Brace yourselves,' I held the bow at the ready.

I stopped as I held the bow up to the threatening wight, who let out a squealing "bwo-ooh" and threatened me.

I fired an arrow at the wight, who was about to chant a spell to numb it, and I fired an arrow at him.

He immediately stopped, holding the next arrow ready.

'Gyo-go-go-o,' the wight shouted in anger.

I felt the killing spirit swelled up, either because he was angry that his magic was interrupted, or because he was offended by the fact that the arrow he fired at the vestments hit him, or both.

''Get on with it and cast your next magic.

I try to recover my magical power and strength while provoking him.

I'm glad I did it, Brod-style. I really appreciate it and I'll give you something when I get paid.

I released my second shot while thinking about that.

As the tension continued to build, I released my thirteenth arrow, and I was beginning to make a sensory decision that I could move as fast as I could for a little while.

The reason why Cattleya-san said I couldn't use magic while using a weapon was because magic required image and concentration.

It was unclear if the same phenomenon would happen to the undead, but I'm really glad she gave me a hint.

Such a wight is currently exuding such a tremendous amount of killing power that it seems his hostility to me has broken through the limit.

If it was a normal old man, his blood vessels would have been cut off. That's about the extent of the shape.

''It's hard to be so angry with a vein on your forehead. If a person is angry for more than fifteen minutes, they need to have something else to be angry about, or they're too tired to get angry. Ahhh. You were a demon, weren't you?

Thus, I repeated the provocation, took a deep breath and measured the timing.

After replaying the simulation in my brain over and over again, I run towards Wight as fast as I can after releasing my seventeenth shot.

Wight tried to avoid the arrows, as if he didn't want to get his robe dirty, but as I approached him, he began to gather magic power on his staff to activate his magic. It's a very good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.

I took out the sword that Instructor Brod gave me from my bag of magic and poured all the magic I could muster into it and took the final step to slay the wight.

I slashed the wight. Like a kesa-kiri, it was clean from the shoulder to the right flank.

But the wight is a high-ranking undead. There is no such thing as unleashing a spell to take the life of a living person who is looking back.

'It was a challenge. It's just that whoever built this place is a demon. Then of course we know they're not dead.

I reversed and threw the short spear I picked up with all my magic and threw it as hard as I could at the wight, and then ran out to the wight.

As soon as the short spear pierced my torso, I pushed it in at the same time, and then spun around, holding the sword in my left hand with both hands, and slashed my head off.

The flying head screamed, "giggling, giggling, giggling, giggling," and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The vestments, staff, and necklace remained intact, leaving a magic stone several times larger and denser than the undead before in the place where the disappearing wight's body had been.

''That's good~. Ouch. [Holy Healing Hand, feed on my magical power, heal his own, Heal]

I chanted a heal because I didn't have a boss, and the usual pale light enveloped me.

'This way of making things is the same for games and otherworldly hallucination labyrinths.

I cleaned my body with a purification spell and cast a recover just in case.

''Now you're fine with curses and state disorders. Let's see...''

I decided to only heal the wound with my middle heel and let the muscle inflammation and fatigue heal on its own.

I'll be too sorry if I'm weak the next time I see Instructor Brod.

I whipped my heavy body and collected the magical stones scattered throughout the room, and purified the remaining vestments, necklaces, and staffs with purification magic just in case.

As he picked up everything, there was suddenly a gogogogoh-oh, an earth-shaking sound, and a descent to the lower level.

''Huh? Is there a continuation? I'm already full," he said, "but I'm not hungry.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

'Well, what shall we do? Four barrels of object X, the sword Brod-san gave me, the bento box with Oba-chan's lunchbox...I'd be d*mned if I was going to throw this away here. It's an absolute thing, you know. If we decide to take the three clearing rewards with us first...

You can only put the holy silver sword, spear, bow, and one of the arrow tubes in your magic bag.

It doesn't matter if you wear a sword. Once you're relieved, you're hungry and we can have lunch.

As usual, I used the Aura Coat and Purification, then tucked into Oba's lunch, drank Object X and said, "Oh, I forgot I drank it even before I went in.

As expected, I was tired today, so I went up the stairs and escaped from the undead labyrinth (temporary).

When I came out of the labyrinth, I saw Cattleya-san at the counter.

''Ah, hello Cattleya-san.''

Oh, it's so rare to see you home at this hour.

'Yes. I've taken a lot of damage today, you know.

Sometimes it's hard to get used to it, isn't it?

No, I feel like I should be proud of myself.

Would it be less today?

There may be more than usual. And there's something else I'd like you to see when you're done making points?

I'm curious. So put your backpack down.

At the top of the backpack that was placed on the dong was the wight's magic stone.

''Hey, what's up with this?''

Yeah. There's a boss room on the tenth level, right? There was a horde of undead, and I couldn't even use my magic, so I was in a terrible hurry. When I managed to defeat them, a wight with a crown that floats in the air and shoots magic at me appeared and I thought I was going to die (game over).

By the way, I thought about having my staff and necklace appraised at the Adventurer's Guild when I appraised them, but since I didn't even know who these belonged to in the first place, I decided to ask Cattleya-san.

''...Why did you do something so reckless?'' Is the usual aura of naturedness gone?

'I didn't mean to be reckless. I didn't think there was going to be anyone like that, much less tell me that I wouldn't be able to use magic.

Didn't they... Didn't they brief you beforehand?

''Yes. It's only the eleventh day of your assignment, and it's an exorcist's job to hide in the labyrinth, right?

Yeah. Well, do you have any time left after this?

Yeah. I'm tired today and I'm just going home.

"Well, there's a place I want to go with you. Will you come with me?

'Yes. Okay.

"Okay, so the points for today are 108,914p.

Excuse me, sir, I think there's an order of magnitude discrepancy?

No, you're right.

I see." "That was a bonus character after all.

Speaking of which, what do you want to show me?

Yeah. I can't appraise it, so the wight you took down? It's the purified wight equipment that was left intact when the

I collected my card and spoke, and the next thing I knew, Mr. Cattleya's face was in front of me.

'Let me see!' It turned out to be an awesome scary thing to have a beautiful woman approach you with a straight face.

''Well then, let's start with this vestment. Then the necklace, and finally the staff.

One by one, he took his time to pick them up and put them back on the counter.

"...put them in the bag and follow me right away.

The next moment there was Mr. Cattleya jumping over the counter motionlessly and heading for the elevator.

'Quick!'

Yes, sir.

I just followed Cattleya, unable to understand the situation.

I'm not sure if it's Cattleya-san and Luciel-kun. Where are you going in such a hurry? Mr. Jord called out to me, "Mr. Jord, I'm in a hurry right now.

'Excuse me,' said a slightly blue-faced Mr. Jord, giving way.

'I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the situation very well either," he said, and followed Cattleya.

I'm not sure what to do with it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're ready to buy.

I rode the elevator again, past the priest knight and holy knight area, past the high priest's area above the bishop's area above the priests. Absolutely, this is not a normal ride, and it's one that I'm not supposed to get on.

Mr. Cattleya didn't utter a single word during this time. He just kept walking towards his destination and got on the elevator again, where he got down in front of a room marked "The Papal Chamber above the Archbishop's".

Cattleya knocked and said, "Pope, this is Cattleya. I would like to see you in the matter of fire and emergency.

"Forgive me. Come in,' I heard a voice say.

There were a number of maidservants inside, but they didn't look at Mr. Cattleya and gave me a puzzled or sluggish look.

It was built like the audience room often seen in stories, so that you couldn't see their faces from us.

'Cattleya, I'm glad you're here. I don't know the other one, but what do you want? The owner of the voice was young, yet female and somehow mysterious.

''Ha. This is the new exorcist who took over the role of exorcist the other day. Since I took over, I have been to the labyrinth and have killed an astonishing number of undead.

Oh, but that's not all, is it? But that's not all, is it?

'Ha. Today, he fought with a wight in the main room on the tenth level. He said that the wight had been cursed without realizing it. And the wight successfully brought back the equipment he had with him. I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this.

"Hmm. Hmm. What is your name?

My name is Luciel.

Then, Luciel. Give me the tools you brought back.

Yes. But there was a possibility of a curse on it, so I'm invoking a purification spell. Please bear that in mind.

Hmm.

He handed the three items to the maidservant who came to his side.

''........I didn't think it was possible, but I knew it. This vestment is exactly the vestments that belonged to Ozanario, who disappeared twelve years ago. And then there's the spirit necklace and the magician's staff. I'm glad you brought it back.

It must be some kind of great rare item, right?

The necklace halves the amount of magic consumed when using magic, and the magician's staff is a powerful wand that diffuses its own magic, disrupts others' magic and makes them unable to use it in a small space, and then collects the diffused magic to activate powerful magic.

What a cheat weapon.

I'd like to buy this.

You can never say no to this. You can't say no to this from next to me. I can see the aura of "Don't say no" from the neighbors. It's okay. From this point on, I'll use the acting I've done in sales.

I'm going to put my heart into it. The performance is that impressive. It's not a price tag, is it? I understand. I'll sell it to you.

Mm. For goodness sake.

"For the Pope's sake. But I would like to ask an impolite favor. The truth is that my magic bag is not large enough for my quest. I'm not going to be able to get it to work.

Oh, don't worry about it. I'll give you a magic bag instead of a magic bag. The inside of the bag is a different kind of space and time has stopped. We know what's in it, and it's as big as this room.

Are you sure you want to take so much stuff? Because this room is big enough for a 30-mat room. ...All right. So it was the Pope who made it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given it to me.

Good, good. This is more helpful to her. And if you need anything else, you can come back to the labyrinth with Cattleya. You will be rewarded. I'll give Cattleya the magic bag tomorrow. I'll give the bag to Cattleya tomorrow. It was a good cause. It's good to go.

Me and Cattleya-san had to bow our heads and leave.

''Luciel, you have a lot of heart.

'What? Really? I was pretty nervous, though?

Yeah? You can't normally demand a price for something that humbles you to the Pope.

Am I being too generous?

Hmm. I think that was fine. I've been reasonably well versed in the matter, and that's why he liked me enough to give me a magic bag. I'm sure you'll be relieved to hear that, but I don't feel relieved.

We walked back together until I could figure it out and that's where we parted ways.

This is how I got my first boss fight and I got my cheat item.
