229 Episode 23 The World's Most Difficult

Just a week after the war ended.

As planned, I will challenge the dungeon today.

Over the past week, Bell and I have reached critical levels, and I've been diving in the dungeon for a month to prepare supplies.

No, I was forbidden to leave the house, so it was Elsie who actually procured it.

I think you should admit it. I've been Neat all week.

"Everyone forgot something?

"(It's okay!)

When I asked them, they answered me well.

The members are Sherry, Lina, Belle, Lou and Herman, Alma, Gillette, and me, all nine of them.

With these eight, even if I can't fight, it won't matter.

"Roger that. Now let me map and carry my luggage. I left the fight to everyone."

Yes.

Stan and Bernold asked me to keep the city safe while I was gone.

"Leave it to me."

I nodded well at the powerful reply of the two captains who came to see me off.

Stan... I'm so glad you're feeling better.

According to Leria, it was a deep wound that she couldn't have helped without Lena.

Yeah... this time, with Shelley's high thermal power magic and Lena's sacred magic, Elsie's prepared adventurers, Lou, we were able to get Shelley killed, and Bel defeated Kite.

Again, all my daughters felt excellent.

"Mr. Flair, I'm sorry I missed you at such a busy time."

"No, nothing is more important than Leo's body."

"Thank you. Now let's get to the dungeon. Everybody touch me."

I apologized to Mr. Flair. I made sure everybody touched me and used the metastasis.

"Hmm... I miss you... My bad memories are coming back."

I moved to the exit of the primary dungeon.

From here on, I still remember clearly using the metastasis in charge of my grandfather.

Are you okay?

"It's okay. Now, let's move on."

That being said, I suddenly heard a voice as I tried to move on to the next room.

I have identified a new challenger. I've confirmed that you own two rings. The door opens because I am qualified to challenge the advanced dungeon. "

Apparently, the door on this floor was of a type that I couldn't open on my own.

Everyone was surprised at the door that opened on their own.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"What are the two rings?

"Maybe... this and this? They're both rings that I got by completing the dungeon."

A ring held by the demon of the beginner dungeon and a ring held by the angel of the introductory dungeon.

I'm sure these are the two things.

"Hmm? Well, if I hadn't cleared two dungeons first, I wouldn't have gotten in there!?

"Well, that's right. I'm really lucky."

It was a real coincidence that I tried the Introductory Dungeon.

"You're lucky... that someone is dying?

Well, aren't you lucky you're not dead?

As I entered the dungeon with such an exchange, I ran into a monster.

"Eh... Why is there such a monster around here as the boss?

As Shelley said, the monster that suddenly appeared was Cyclops, the boss on the 20th floor of the beginner dungeon.

There were five of them.

"Well, this is the 50th floor. Not compared to normal dungeons."

"If you ask me, yes."

"We have to proceed with caution and certainty."

While we were having that conversation, Hellman slashed the monster for the first time today.

Well, it would be impossible to tackle it in such a struggle.

"It's too big... where the hell are the stairs?

It's been five hours since we started our offensive, and we haven't found any stairs.

"This is... going to take a while. In the meantime, I have to take a break."

That said, I took out snacks and water from my bag.

Look at this.

Taking advantage of the break, I showed everyone a map of the dungeon I've been walking to.

"Wow, this is a maze. Looking at the map, you don't know which way to go anymore."

Yes. This dungeon is so wide that I don't know why, it's hard to move on.

"Now that you've seen more... you'll be considerate of the future."

I see. But we can't clear it unless we move on. "

There is no hurry, and we have no choice but to move on to the tunnel.

"There it is! Stairs!"

After all, I ran out of time to find the stairs.

"Upstairs in a day... I don't know what floor it is... It's not good to attack at this pace."

If this goes on, it will take more than a year.

"That's right. Will Leo be riding with me from tomorrow? I think that will increase the attack speed."

Belle, nice idea!

Sure, you don't have to keep pace with my walking speed.

"Very good. Let me do that."

The next day.

"Ooh. Fufufu."

I was enjoying the pleasant touch of the fur while clinging to the back of the bell.

"Nevertheless, if it's true, this body doesn't feel the thankfulness of non-attribute magic."

It is unexpectedly troublesome if the product I always use casually disappears suddenly.

I don't need any attributeless magic at all for my usual life.

Then an hour later, I found the stairs early.

"Oh, have you found it yet?"

"They were moving about ten times faster than yesterday."

Ah, I wish I'd done this yesterday.

I wouldn't have wasted a day on this operation from the beginning...

"I see. Well, it's a long way to go, and it's about a day's margin of error."

That's right, but you want to finish it as soon as you can.

That said, it certainly seems to be only an error by the time we hit the goal.

"Still... that's how impressive Shelly and Lena look when they run like that..."

You really grew up looking fine after an hour of running.

I miss the two of you when you first taught me unattributed magic.

"Fufufu, we're growing up, too.

"I usually run and move around when I'm attacking a dungeon. I'm fine."

"Yeah, yeah. It's a bit faster, isn't it?"

"You've been training Stoick for a long time..."

I knew I wasn't challenging the dungeon with a sense of play, but I didn't think the four of them were really challenging the dungeon so far.

Next time, let's go sneak up on the four of them.

"This is to protect Leo someday."

"Thank you. I'll do my best to protect everyone. Now, let's keep fighting at this pace!

"I didn't know it would take three days to get to the 60th floor."

"I can't help it. This dungeon is too big."

In the end, it took me two days to attack the 51st to 60th floors, even if I used the unattributed magic.

"We still have plenty of time today. Shall we go a little further?

"No, that depends on the next boss fight. Maybe, because I think it's pretty strong."

That's true. Well then, let's kick your ass!

When Shelley broke into the boss's room with her voice, there was a monster I had seen.

"That's...."

Hydra. I fought once before. Physical attacks don't make much sense to him. Besides, the poison attack is a hassle, so we should hurry and defeat it with Sherry and Lou's magic. "

There was one day Hydra, the boss of Las Vegas.

This guy's regenerative abilities are incredible, he emits a fog of poison, and he's a very troublesome opponent to fight normally.

"Copy that! Yes!

"Come on!

Sherry's magic blew off half of Hydra's body, and the rest of Lou's body disappeared.

"Good job. You killed him instantly."

"Su, wow...."

"They're both boulders!

"We didn't make it."

"Yeah, it didn't mean we were called."

"Well, there's going to be stronger enemies, and they're going to be able to help."

It's just getting started. The beginning will never be easier to beat.

"Yes, I'll take care of it. And I'm sorry for being rude to my daughter."

"... I'm sorry."

Nothing, I didn't tell Gillette...

In the meantime, I forgave Gillette for forcing her head down.

"Alright, let's go upstairs at this rate!

"Yes"

And then a week... It took me so long to get to the seventieth floor.

Even though I can still forgive the growing complexity... the monsters that came out were not good.

Chimera, a monster like a mixture of animals was the enemy this time, but it was a very troublesome monster that divided when defeated.

I couldn't kill him instantly, so I took up time every time I encountered him.

Ah, at this rate, I don't think I'll be able to attend Master's funeral...

And when I entered the boss's room on the seventieth floor, there was a monster waiting for me, mixed with lions and scorpions.

It looks like another strong monster... I told everyone the result of the appraisal.

"That's Manticore. Watch out for the tail poison. And just like Chimera, be careful, it might split up."

Got it. Are you sure you want to defeat me and Alma this time? If you're a good physical attacker, I think you can easily win with our skills. "

I see. Well then, I asked both of you. "

With their penetration skills, they're not afraid of poison needles.

Well, the results were easy for both of us to defeat.

It wasn't instantaneous killing because it split again.

I really don't want to try this hierarchy again.

"Is the next enemy a slime?"

Defeat the boss and proceed to the next level, a slime appeared that might be around.

That said, of course, the slime here cannot be the same as the slime around there.

So, for now, I slashed Herman from a distance with a slash.

Slash it and it'll split.

When Herman flew four slashes, the slime was split in eight.

Another split system... Besides, this time it's the momentum for infinite division.

Ah, I want to see the face of the guy who built this dungeon.

I often make dungeons that look like harassment.

"I can't help it. I'll leave the slime to Sherry, Lou, Gillette, and Gill."

"Leave it to me."

"Finally."

"Fufu. Leave it to me."

This time the record was ten days.

Lou's magic was ready for destruction, so it didn't take much longer than I thought.

It's been three weeks since I started the challenge... when will I see the Creator?

And now it's the boss's room.

"The boss on the eightieth floor was expecting a slime. In that case....."

"It's smaller than I thought. If that's enough, I'll kill you instantly with my magic!

The moment she tried to warn me because she was small, Shelley was shooting magic.

You were totally tired and alarmed.

"Wow!

After all, the magic didn't work on the slime.

Instead, the slime grew up absorbing magic.

"This is a bad one to attack with magic. Herman and Alma! Slash to the limit!

Got it!!

"Hmm... I'm glad it ended up intact."

Herman and Alma reduced the slime to its limit and the slime vanished on its own.

If it became too small, it would make it impossible to maintain the body.

"I can't believe I absorbed magic...."

"Well, this is the boss on the 80th floor."

I think it's time for someone who doesn't work magic or physics to come out.

Then, after a break, I went down to the eighty-first floor.

"What? I suddenly lost my floor."

Yes. Down the stairs, there were no floors, and the world was still empty.

"Does this mean flying in the sky and attacking?

If I hadn't had the means to fly in the sky, I'd be packed.

"Well, then, ladies and gentlemen, please get in with Gillette."

"That's right. Ah, is this how Herman moves?

"What are those shoes...?

"Shoes that can run in the sky. Try it on for now."

I always gave Herman shoes to equip for dungeons and serious fights.

Without someone who can move freely, there may be trouble somewhere.

I see.

"What do you think? You think you can walk?

"Nah, somehow...."

That said, Herman was walking in the air with his hands open and balanced.

This needs a little practice.

Well then, let's take a break until the Herman can run in the air.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. I think I'll get used to it soon anyway."

"Yeah, you're used to it a lot."

As I thought, after practicing for about 30 minutes, I was able to run in the air.

"Yes, I think it's okay now."

"Good. Let's get everyone else on Gillette and Jill."

And after a while, I saw black particles from afar.

"What is that...? Wyburn's army."

As I approached, I noticed an incredible number of Wyburns approaching.

"It's okay! My magic can handle it!

Driftstone Sherry, I dropped almost all of the Wyburns on the ground in one blow.

Well, it's a mystery if there's a ground on this floor.

"Ah, there's some left!

"Leave it to me!

The rest of the Wyburn was cut clean by the Herman.

Wow. After all, I'm glad I gave those shoes to Herman. "

And it took me three days to reach the ninetieth floor.

It was quick enough that there was no troublesome maze.

"The boss is the White Dragon...."

This time the boss was a Japanese-style dragon that appeared in the memory of the previous life.

"Lew? What do you mean, Lew?

"Yeah, well, it's like a dragon."

"Oh, that's a dragon, too. Ah!... that? It's not working?

Looks like Lou used destruction magic, but the White Dragon was intact.

"Maybe... magic won't work again."

"Oh no...."

Well, is there a measure of destruction magic in the boulder?

"So I asked Herman and Alma!

"" Leave it to me!

On my instructions, Hellman and Alma on Gillette were heading for the dragon.

And the Hermans started attacking the dragon.

I started...

"You're lying... even if you were slashed by a Herman who could decimate the walls of that dungeon, the scale would crack..."

Even if Hellman and Alma flew the slash, it feels awful that only one crack entered the scale.

The Dragon's attack has not hit the Hermans either... can it be defeated?

"But if we keep focusing on the same spot, we should be able to take it down someday."

"Yes, but... But it's hard to target the same place with that size and speed...."

"It's okay. Herman will do it."

"... I see. Well, let's keep an eye on it."

I could only nod to Lena's words.

I can't fight. The results won't change where I'm worried. Let's leave the match to the two of us.

And... what an hour has passed.

Ohh!

Finally, one scale broke.

All right, go!

Gruuuuuuuu!

When Alma stabbed the dragon with a sword, the dragon barked loudly.

And it fell without strength.

"Looks like the poison worked...."

I didn't know it was poisonous to the boss.

Nice Alma!

"Next time, there's the ground!

"But it's creepy....."

The next stage was the cemetery.

It was dark and, as Shelley said, very creepy.

"So... after all, an undead monster is coming out."

A lot of undead gushed out in no time.

This is very troublesome.

Skeletons, zombies, mummies, lace, picking.

"Come here, Leena's holy magic works."

Undead are basically vulnerable to sacred magic.

"Fufu. I've just been watching. Look at this. If that's all, I can make you a Buddha right away!

That said, the undead soon vanished as Lena gladly flew the Holy Magic in all directions.

"Stonehenge!

"The Virgin is not me, she is Leria."

I'm just kidding.

"Please, Belle."

"Yes"

Then the trip continued on the bell.

A week later.

"The boss's room on the 99th floor...."

There was a room for the boss on the ninety-ninth floor, not the hundredth floor.

"I feel like this is going to be a boss fight."

If we take down this boss, there's a pattern of bosses on the next floor.

"I feel that way, too. But, well... You'll be all right if you keep up the good work.

Really? Well, for now, the next boss asked Lena. "

It's undead anyway. Then you'll be fine with Lena.

"Yes, leave it to me!

I knew it was undead.

"Oh, that's a necromancer."

A monster capable of generating indefinite undead.

If you don't defeat the Necromancer quickly, it will be very troublesome.

"Lena, can you do it?

Yes!

Guoooooo

When Leena used her holy magic, Necromancer shouted in agony.

However, I don't think you will soon become a Buddha.

"Ugh... my tympanic membrane is about to break."

Amazing.

"Ah, a lot of summonses. Everybody, protect Lena!

Then, while Lena was struggling with Necromancer, she continued to defeat the undead, who were gushing out with other members.

And after about 30 minutes, the necromancer finally fell.

"Hmm. I've endured it for so long...."

That was a little scary.

Really, it was pretty close.

Undead people, it's hard to die, so we didn't have enough time to take down the amount that comes out.

If Lena hadn't been defeated, it might have been dangerous.

"What do we do? Why don't you take a break and try again?

"That's right. If this is the last time, I want to try it in perfect condition."

That's right. I don't think we can beat the boulders in the end with room. "

"Roger that. Let's go upstairs and wait for everyone's magic to recover."

"All right, then, I'm going down. Are you ready for the mind and body?

"It's okay."

"Alright, let's go!

"What is that...?"

"T'Paul, it must have been a monster in Greek mythology."

The moment I saw the boss, I remembered my previous life.

Apparently, this monster is the best monster the Creator can come up with.

Looks like your upper body is an old man, your lower body and arms are in the disgusting shape of countless snakes, about the size of a skyscraper...?

"A Greek myth?

"Er... an old story from the previous life? Maybe this memory belongs to the creator, so I'm sure of it."

"What kind of monster is a monster named Tupawn?

He's a monster who can beat God.

"Huh? Doesn't that taste pretty bad?

"... a monster made to kill God, right?

"That may be true, but...."

"You can't help saying that, Lena and Belle. Now that I'm here, I have to take it down."

That's right.

Shizukuishi Sherry. Sherry's words changed the atmosphere.

"Deal with those countless snake attacks with Herman, Alma, Gillette and Gill."

Got it.

"Shelley is when Tupawn spits out a fire, he builds a wall to protect everyone."

Copy that.

"Lou destroyed the body with destruction magic!

"Leave it to me!

Then a long battle began.

The snake didn't recover when it was slashed, but the body recovered as much as it could, so I had to kill the snake and the chipmunk.

And when I finally defeated all the snakes, the body stopped recovering, and Lou finished stabbing them.

"You really could have killed God."

"Break it or break it, it'll heal, so it was really rough."

"You're the strongest opponent I've ever had."

Each used up his health completely and fell to the floor.

The last one was already moving with energy.

"Good work, everyone. Thank you for doing this for me."

"It's good to thank you. I usually take more care of Leo."

When I lowered my head, Shelley's words and everyone's nod came back.

Really, I have a good friend.

"Thank you. Well, why don't we take a break and go see him?"

Finally, this is the time.

Creator... what the hell is he like?
