What came out of the treasure chest was a Jewel of Flashing Light. It must be the counterpart to the Jewel of Deep Darkness. The one of deep darkness is completely black, while the one of flashing light is completely white.
Then, having taken the treasure, I took the time to go back the way I came.
「There’s something…」
That’s right. There was a huge treasure chest on the pedestal that had been there since I arrived at the lowest level.
Maybe it’s some kind of reward for conquering all of Sādin Cave… ?
With that in mind, I approached and slowly opened the treasure chest, which was several times larger than the previous ones.
「………. Yes?」
There was nothing there. Except for two hollows hemispheres.
Example of a hollow hemisphere
「Ah… That kind of… I see」
With a self-satisfied look on her face, she pulls out the Jewel of Flashing Light and Deep Darkness. Then she slips it in.
「…… Wait a minute… ?」
I’ve got an idea.
「… Put these down too… Let’s see…」
I put down the treasures that I had obtained in the cave. It starts with a light blue hairpin and ends with a flaming red ribbon, plus two treasures. There’s no slot except for the two jewels, but there’s no harm in having no reaction to them… I guess.
「I’ll close the treasure chest…」
I carefully close it as I did when I opened it, and get off the pedestal. Then…
――Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo…………… ! ! !
――Dogooooon! !
After the earth rumbled, a pure white ant, larger than a queen, wearing what looked like a crown on its head, also came out.
「Jijijijijijiji…」
「It’s huge…」
They looked at each other. But when the White Ant turns its gaze to the treasure chest and approaches…
――Bagiggushabbaribarigigigigigigi…… !
What a surprise, it ate the entire treasure chest!
「No wayyy! ?」
I just got… I just got the Thunderbolt necklaceee! ! !
I shouldn’t have let you out! ! ! ! That’s a huge loss! !
And so on and so forth, complaining in my mind…
――Pikaaaaaa……
The White Ant then suddenly glows. Coming out of the light was a rainbow-colored Ant. The color of its body kept changing, and its size grew even larger, from about 5 meters to about 15 meters. Even the lowest level, with a diameter of 50 meters, seemed to be too small.
――Bachi… Bachi… ! !
「This is… my… perfect form」
TL. This is a reference to Dragon Ball’s character, Cell
「It’s talking! ! ! ? ?」
The White Ant, which had been chirping a while ago, turned into a Rainbow Ant… then started talking. Spheres of various attributes are floating around the Rainbow Ant.
「Daughter… I am grateful… but… this is where you’ll die!」
「Eh? Seriously… ?」
Dear Ayane-sama
It seems that the queens I’ve been fighting were the mid-bosses…
――Shun! …Gakin! !
「Kya! ?」
「Na! ?」
5 damages. I just healed myself with a potion, so I still have over 200. As long as I protect my vital points, a little pain is just a margin of error.
「《Thunder Field Strike》!」
A skill that worked on the Shine Ant Queen earlier.
――Badjidjidji… Bashu…
However, it doesn’t have much effect on the Rainbow Ant that have absorbed the Earth Bracelet and Thunderbolt Necklace that I got when I defeated the Ground and the Thunder Ant Queens…
「Fumu… is that… all… ?」
「You can’t just say that… ! !」
「That… is right… !」
「…… But…」
「?」
「If it’s endurance, I won’t lose!」
「…」
The endurance game begins.
This is a game for people with high defense, plenty of time to heal in between, lots of potions, and the ability to either hit the opponent for one damage or avoid all attacks and hit the opponent for one damage.
I’m in the former category, so I can defeat it if I protect my vital points and drink MP and HP recovery potions in between… I’m sure. The 《Thunder Field Strike》 I just used doesn’t have much effect, but it’s not completely useless, and it does at least deal one damage.
Therefore…
「Uoooo! ! ! 《Thunder Field Strike》《Thunder Field Strike》――――――……」
「Is that so… if that is the case… I’ll give it my all…」

Eight hours of battle.
The number of HP and MP recovery potions, which used to be 1000 each, has been reduced to about 300 for HP and 50 for MP.
My opponent was also entirely using attribute attacks, but that was meaningless in front of this body that could only take a maximum of 5 damage.
「Ugh… You little brat…」
――Zuuuun……
「……….」
However, Ryoka did not respond. Her eyes were already vacant…
「Ah ha, ah… I did ittttt! ! ! ! ! ! !」
The life returned to her eyes, and Ryoka frolicked like a child. After 8 hours of fighting, I finally defeated it, and I’d be crazy not to be pleased. Speaking of which, the 《Thunder Field Strike》 dealt about 10 damage to the Rainbow Ant… no, it was Perfect Rainbow Ant King…
「… Gepu…」
「Ugh, dirty… Oh?」
What came out of the mouth of the Rainbow Ant was a rainbow-colored treasure chest. When I opened it, I found another rainbow-colored treasure box sitting there.
「………. So this is the real reward…」
At Sādin’s Appraisal Shop….

By the way, if you put only two treasures in the treasure chest, the Jewel of Deep Darkness and the Jewel of Flashing Light, the Monochrome Ant… Judgment Ant King will appear… There are of course only two attributes, Darkness and Shine. Its strength is also much weaker than the Perfect Rainbow Ant King. If you didn’t combine one of the treasures you got in the dungeon in the last ritual, it wouldn’t be a perfect form and would be a Rainbow Ant King. Of course, the strength is (below)
And about attributes….
There are six basic attributes in this world: Soil (Earth Attribute), Water (Water Attribute), Wind (Wind Attribute), Fire (Fire Attribute), Dark (Darkness Attribute), and Light (Light Attribute), and these are the core attributes from which all other attributes are derived. So it is not necessarily the case that the only higher attribute of Soil is Ground, and it is not necessarily the case that the higher attribute of Water is Ice.
In other words, what I’m trying to say is that Ryoka hadn’t fought all of the attributes…
By the way, Ryoka’s Thunder Magic is really special, and is a mixture of Wind and Water attributes. It’s just that a high percentage of it is Wind Attribute, so it fits into the frame of Wind Attribute.
