Chapter 601 Hidden Boss Key

-----

I had acquired three wonderful items from conquering the dungeon, or whatever, and even a fourth one in the key.

-----

[Random Item Box (C Grade)] x5

A Random Item Box containing up to C Grade Materials of all types, which can be used for Alchemy and Crafting, or even Cooking! Once opened, a roulette will begin, press the button to get what you want. Be careful, the roulette goes very fast.

-----

[Magic Potion of Wizardly (B Grade)] x5

A Special Potion crafted with top tier ingredients which can permanently increase MP and Magic by 100 up to 1000 when drank. Cannot be used as material for ingredients, if used, it will explode.

-----

[Grimoire of Dark Reign (B+ Grade)] x1

A Special Grimoire left behind by the Ancient Black Dragon, Dark Reign. A powerful Black Dragon that inhabits the Svartalfheim Continent. His knowledge over Dark Magic and the depth of the Abyss knows no bounds.

By reading this Grimoire and comprehending its wisdom and then using it as an item, Darkness Attribute Damage increases by +10% permanently, and Comprehension over Darkness Magic increases greatly. There's a 50% chance for a 3 random Dark Attribute Magic Skills to Level up from 1 to 5 levels, and a 10% for them to Evolve into greater Skills.

I consumed the potion of wizardly, increasing my MP and Magic, and then I tried to read the damn Grimoire… But the very first time I tried to read it… I found this dragon was a big chuunibyou. All he wrote was done extremely edgy. It gave me a lot of cringe, and I felt like wanting to kill myself even when I was already dead. This dragon would certainly be an interesting person to meet face to face one day.

Anyways, reading this out loud will be extremely cringe, so I'll just read it silently inside of my own Soul Scape. Thankfully it is more than possible to use my own consciousness, divide it, and read it inside of my Soul Scape with nobody there to look at me and laugh at the cringe-worthy thing I'm reading.

And as I began reading it within there, I already started to feel weirder and weirder. Is this how you fall into the abyss of darkness?! Dark Reign, you're a strange fellow!

….However, it also helped me learn a bunch of new stuff. First of all, Dragons got their own Elemental Progenitors! Dark Reign, a Dark Dragon, has a Progenitor named Svartalf.

I wonder what the progenitors of Lucifer are and Brunhild… I guess they're fire dragons, so a fire progenitor? They're like gods or something? I think I heard from them that they died in the war of the gods long, long ago. Or something, perhaps some remain alive for all I know.

After all, if they're alive why wouldn't the other guys be alive then?! Right? It makes total sense that some of our dragon progenitors might be alive!

…I hope.

Dark Reign doesn't specify anything, he just says he's the descendant of her. Oh, wait a moment. He's not a dragon like Lucifer or Brunhild at all. This guy's a direct son of the dragon progenitor!

This means Dark Reign's a Divine Dragon, a Dragon God! If the creator of this weird book I got is still alive, then perhaps there might be other Dragon Gods out there, somewhere.

Anyways, let's check the key now…

-----

[Swamp Dungeon's Hidden Boss Key (A Grade)] x1

A Special Key designed by the Swamp Dungeon Core, which allows for the summon of the powerful Hidden Dungeon Boss, a monstrous being of many heads and a monstrous appetite. Riches await those that dare to fight it and manage to defeat it.

-----

Huh, straight to the point I see. It looks pretty interesting. I have to admit it. Maybe we can do this later, right? After we enjoy a nice meal because I am actually starving right now. I need me some food to satiate this endless void inside my soul… Or how it's usually called, [Phantasmal Stomach].

Anyways, I might as well open the Random Boxes for now… I grabbed them and then simply touched them, the boxes opened in an instant and suddenly a roulette appeared, with several items spinning around it.

"Huh, I wonder if there's a way to cheat this?" I wondered while thinking about it. "Well, let's just try my luck for once."

F L A S H! FLASH! F L A S H! FLASH! F L A S H!

I just pressed the roulettes buttons and then ended them all five at the same time. Several items emerged out of the roulettes, as the entire box disappeared into particles of light.

The items materialized in front of me after that.

Ding!

[You opened a Random Item Box!]

[You acquired [White Spirit Tree Branch (C Grade)] x1!]

Ding!

[You opened a Random Item Box!]

[You acquired [Solar Stone (D Grade)] x1!]

Ding!

[You opened a Random Item Box!]

[You acquired [Mysterious Potion (??? Grade)] x1!]

Ding!

[You opened a Random Item Box!]

[You acquired [Underworld Jackal's Fangs (C Grade)] x1!]

Ding!

[You opened a Random Item Box!]

[You acquired [Fire Elemental Orb (D Grade)] x1!]

Wow, they were really all just random. But I guess the first one seems interesting, a White Branch from a Spirit Tree, huh? Maybe I can get something nice out of it. Perhaps if I plant it at home, a special white spirit tree could sprout out?

Though my Alchemy senses are telling me to wait before using them and to save them for now… It might come in handy in the near future for all I know.

And just as I was halfway through reading the book of Dark Reign (yes, my reading speed is hundreds of times that of my human self), I was drawn by the smell of grilled fish and salamander meat. Brunhild's started a big bonfire using her fire breath so Lucifer and her quickly started cooking the meat.

"Ah, this smells nice…"
