CH 478

Kurena and Haku spent 10 days in the S Rank Dungeon.

They were raising their Levels to fight the Gate of Fang's Gatekeeper.

Haku maxed out his Level at 80, needing the same experience as someone in Extra Mode.

Kurena reached Level 90.

Kurena had been trying to raise her Skill Levels before the fight. Her equipment halved her cooldowns, and increased her mana by a lot. [True Dragon Claw] had also reached Level 2.

Thanks to that, her stats were nearing 30000.

Haku's [Dragon Scale] and [Dragon Claw] abilities were also a priority.

Those raised his stats far beyond Normal Mode's, and even though he was B Rank his strength was comparable to S Rank.

They were hunting Iron Golems, so they could do that with little help if summons were present.

So everyone else went to loot the gate, except for Dogora and Shea who trained their Skills..

[Prayer Necklace] x1

-Strength +3000

-Endurance +3000

[Fortitude Bracelet] x2

-Attack +5000

-Endurance +5000

-Physical Attack Damage +10%

[Swiftness Anklet] x2

-Quickstep

-Agility +5000

-Dodge Chance +20%

Weapons could be obtained on the second level.

[Prayer Staff]

-Strength +10000

-Mana +10000

-Regeneration Speed +50%

[Double-edged Axe]

-Made of adamantite

[Devil's Bow]

-Made of orichalcum

-Attack +20000

-Accuracy +50%

-Mana Consumption 1000

Weapons from the third level (in progress)

-10 orichalcum weapons

-3000 adamantite weapons

-18000 hihiirokane weapons

Allen was fully channeling his treasure hunting enthusiasm he had in his past life.

Allen's Army could use as many weapons as possible, and the excess hihiirokane ones were given to the Hero's Army. Their size sometimes needed to be adjusted, but they could ask various blacksmiths, including those in the S Rank Dungeon's city, to modify them.

They were also starting to find anklets. They were similar to those worn by Basque.

The Devil's Bow was given to Formar. It did not need arrows, but shooting it cost 1000 Mana.

Skills increased that even more, but that allowed him to damage the golems a lot more.

"That should be about it."

"Ohh, it feels good."

Cecile was helping Kurena equip what she needed.

'...'

Everyone watched with excitement, and Megadeth remained silent.

[Kurena's accessories]

-Ring 1: Attack +5000

-Ring 2: Attack +5000

-Bracelet 1: Attack +5000, Endurance +5000, Physical Attack Damage +10%

-Bracelet 2: Attack +5000, Endurance +5000, Physical Attack Damage +10%

-Necklace: Attack + 3000

-Earring 1: Physical Attack Damage +7%

-Earring 2: Physical Attack Damage +10%, Strength +2000, Attack +2000

-Anklet 1: Quickstep, Agility +5000, Dodge Chance +20%

-Anklet 2: Quickstep, Agility +5000, Dodge Chance +20%

[Kurena's armament]

-Orichalcum greatsword: Attack 12000

-Adamantite armor: Endurance 6000

"Alright! I'm fully equipped!!"

Kurena was fully equipped.

(She's getting close to Dogora's strength. I just wish her orichalcum armor was already done.)

They had obtained 10 orichalcum weapons, so Allen asked Habarak to make armor out of them.

Her weapon could also be enhanced with Dragon Eye Stones, but Habarak could not do that at the same time.

'Are you ready then?'

"Yeah, let's go!!"

Replying to Megadeth, Kurena and Haku headed to the gate.

"What do you think Allen? Do you think she can win?"

"It shouldn't take long if Megadeth is telling the truth."

Allen's reply was instant. Kurena could even be overleveled for the fight.

A dragon waited on the other side of the gate.

'Oh, I thought you were too scared to enter, but you look rather courageous. I'm the Gatekeeper of this level, the Ancient Dragon Roadmerk.'

A 100 meter long dragon stood up. Ancient Dragons were legendary S Rank creatures.

"I'm the Dragoon Knight Kurena!"

"I'm Haku!!"

Kurena and Haku had agreed they would introduce themselves this time.

'Come at me then!!'

Roadmerk swung his terrifying claws at Kurena.

"Hmph!!"

Kurena retaliated with her [True Killing Slash] Skill, which had become her most used one.

'Huh?! How about this then!'

Kurena's swing sliced off two of Roadmerk's fingers.

Realizing he could not win through direct attacks, Roadmerk spread his wings and flew high up before unleashing a bright breath attack on Kurena.

"Haku, let's go!"

'Yes, get on!!'

Kurena split Roadmerk's breath apart to protect Haku as they flew up for ten minutes.

After that Haku used [Light Breath] to take over the defending role, letting Kurena attack.

"Limit Break!!"

That Skill increased Kurena's stats by 12000.

'Grawrrrrrrr!!'

Haku roared while Kurena swung her sword down.

"Supreme Sword!!"

'Ghagh?!'

Kurena easily cut through Roadmerk's thick scales, splitting his body in two.

Poof

The barrier stopping the others from crossing the gate vanished.

The group rushed in to congratulate Kurena and Haku, they had fought in perfect sync.

'This is the first time I've seen such a powerful Dragoon Knight.'

'Mama is strong!!'

Haku was happy to see Kurena be praised. Megadeth mentioned that usually the dragon was the strongest one and the Rider the weaker partner.

(I guess Haku's 20000 stats would usually be the highest of the two.)

There were very few Riders in Extra Mode, and Allen had gathered equipment from the S Rank Dungeon and Prostia before entering the Gate of Fang. That had made Kurena far stronger.

'It'll take some time for him to recover, so let's do the Talent Change first. Woohoo.'

They had won, so Kurena and Haku would undergo a Talent Change.

A glowing magic ring surrounded them, and Allen checked his Grimoire.

Kurena had become a Level 1 Dragoon General, and Haku a Level 1 infantile Ancient Dragon.

They continued getting stronger.

'Hrnghh… I lost.'

Roadmerk stood up after his wounds healed. He brought a dragon's fang and held it out for Kurena.

"We did it!!"

'Now you only have the Gate of Scale left. Good luck.'

"Thank you very much. Alright everyone, let's go clear the next gate!"

Allen decided they would head to the next gate like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"I knew this would happen."

Cecile had already anticipated that would happen, considering how short the fight was.

Allen's group had cleared the Gate of Fang, and now they only had one Gate of Trial left to conquer.
