Chapter 225: Cathedral Labyrinth 4
「Guys, I leave the surrounding orcs to you!」
The orcs were sent to their deaths as soon as they appeared.
Titan beat them up with his fists and Kaede’s threads entwined them.
「You’ve made the wrong choice.」
I realized that the Orc King which had summoned its minions in desperation had completely exhausted its magic power.Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com
I slashed downward diagonally at the Orc King that was still rapidly restoring its magic power.
The left arm that the Orc King raised to defend itself was severed by the magic clad blade.
Depleted of its magic power, the Orc King’s body which was toughened by magically augmented body strengthening had now fallen to the ranks of somewhat sturdy monsters.
Sophia and Maria lunged their spears from both sides, their spearheads piercing deeply as if all the resistance until now was a lie, and then flames and wind rampaged inside the Midboss’ body.
Holding the sword in my right hand and the spear in my left, I pressured the Orc King.
Then the Orc King tried to brandish its gigantic battle axe using its remaining arm. That same exact arm was then stabbed into by Sophia’s spear.
The battle axe fell with a heavy thud, and Maria’s spear dug into the Orc King’s foot.
Then, cloaking my body in magic power, I rammed my ice spear into the Orc King’s throat with all my might, freezing everything around the stab wound using the spear’s ability.
「Ha!」
I swung my sword sideways, it shattered the frozen neck of the Orc King and its head fell off. Then suddenly, I felt power swelling in my entire body.
After we finished getting what we could, the remains of the orcs left alone disappeared as if they were swallowed by the ground.
「So that is why we couldn’t find the corpses of Sydnia’s soldiers either.」
「Yeah, the dungeon is probably recovering magic power.」
It looks like I was the only one surprised by the spectacle that didn’t occur in my last dungeon dive. It was a common sight to Heath-san, apparently.
The dungeon entices people with treasure, then preys on them with traps and monsters, becoming nourishment for it. However, Heath-san said that this dungeon was only recently created, so the chances for treasure to appear was low.
「It’s not like it’s set in stone that there would be absolutely nothing though. Maybe this Orc King was just based on chance.」
「That’s right, magic items like weapons and armors might not appear in dungeons that haven’t grown a bit. But stuff like gems and magic metal ingots might show up.」
I see, maybe I didn’t have any luck. No, if between having and not having luck, then I’d have to say that I do have it. Still, it might be Lyle-san that doesn’t. Let’s look at it that way.
「Master (husband), our meal has been prepared.」
「Thank you, Marnie. I’ll be right there. Heath-san, Lyle-san, Bogah-san, let’s eat.」
「Got it.」
「Yeah.」
「............」
After eating and resting a bunch, we took naps and moved on to the next floor.
