Vol. 4 - Chapter 226 - The gold chest, the conflict (?) and the sleeping lion

Yes. The thing that lies there is a good-old gold chest.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

O' the gold chest, Receive my humble gratitude for raising our tension.

" "It's a gold chest!" "

The rearguard Lana and Hannah also shouted and immediately dashed towards it.

I also broke into run reflexively and as someone who was attacking the boss from close proximity, I arrived first.

"Fuhaha! I'm the first!"

"Hey-hey Zephyr, that's foul play! you were already there!"

"T-That's right Zephyr, don't be so childish"

Lana and Hannah seemed to be getting angry at me for some reason. Just how much they want the gold chest... ? Though, not like I was acting any different either.

"I will open the gold chest this time!"

"What tyranny! I will never allow this!"

"That's right, let-let's discuss about it, Zephyr"

This is our first gold chest in the Intermediate dungeon. I will not let this honour be snatched away by anyone else.

"This is the first gold chest in the Intermediate dungeon. The first, so of course it should be opened by the guild master a.k.a me"

"Ludicrous! And I never heard of such a rule! Rather, such events should be given to the Princess, in other words me, to handle. This Princess will open it!"

"I don't know what Lana-sama is talking about. I have never heard the rights of events like this should belong to Princess, of course, the same goes for Zephyr claim. Since none of both can make up their mind, I will open it"

" "Rejected!" "

Unbelievable. It's not every time I proposed myself for opening them but this time doing that put me, Lana and Hannah at odds against each other.

What a terrific sorcery item the gold chest is......

A conflict arose among us with the gold chest on line and no one seems like they're going to give up.

"Just what are you guys doing? Hurry up and open it, we don't have time to waste"

Sierra who comes beside has an exasperated expression as she chided us.

As expected of Sierra who never backed off against a strong adversary. She didn't even flinch while intervening in our dispute.

I and Hannah couldn't say anything against the silent pressure emanating from Sierra's eyes but there was one other person who wasn't bothered by that.

"Listen to me, Sierra! Zephyr is saying he's going to open the first gold chest of the Intermediate dungeon! I also want to open it first!"

"Slayer? Leave that aside and tell me, is it a hit, Zephyr?"

"Yes, it's quite a success. I didn't expect <Dinosaur slaying sword> to appear here. What should I do?"

I lost myself in reverie as my eyes laid on the sword.

As the name telltale, the <Dinosaur slaying sword> is the special attack type sword. It's a strong piece of equipment that grants the wearer a damage bonus of 1.2× with normal attacks against the dinosaur type monsters.

The details are as follows;

——————————

<Dinosaur slaying sword - ATK 67>

[Dinosaur killer - Lv5] [Dinosaur Slayer - Lv7]

——————————

Dinosaur killer is a passive skill that increases the damage against dinosaur type monsters.

Dinosaur slayer is an active skill which deals special damage to dinosaur type monsters.

Although it's a special equipment that is effective only in <Dinosaur's hill dungeon>, the damage bonus is just impossible to ignore.

Besides, it's a sword type weapon which I can equip. It's just......

Incidentally, this is the status of the firmament sword I'm equipped with.

———————————

<Firmament Sword: ATK 85, MAG ATK 51, Holy attribute>

———————————

The sword looks simple with no skills but as compensation, the status it provides is so lucrative.

However the <Dinosaur slaying sword> is much stronger in case of exploring this dungeon, the sword is simply a nightmare for dinosaur monsters after all.

Equipping this sword will remove the firmament serie buff <Abnormal status resistance Lv3> and this dungeon basically asks for higher status than anything, so there's not any problem regarding this.

Also the pure white brilliance would disappear but I guess limiting to this dungeon is just fine as well.

The only bottleneck of this sword is that it doesn't offer any magic attack which will drastically reduce the might of <Magic>. However it should be somehow doable with using the <Dinosaur Slayer> which will increase the number of moves available.

Thus, I no longer contemplated.

"Let's change the weapon"

I'm finally going to change the weapon after a long time.
