Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka - Volume 03 (9 page)

The pouch that was thrown opened up and released a large amount of powder in front of the Imps.

The purple powder was suddenly dispersed. The amount of time that allowed the imps to be afraid of it ended shortly, because soon after, the Imps began to cough violently.

Drop Loot .

From the poison from the scales collected, it was later used to create a poisonous pouch.

Unlike the Purple Moth’s scales, it could immediately cause weak Monsters to have symptoms of .

??Good job, Lili is already proficient in dealing with Monsters!

While Lili swiftly retreated to the rear, I flew out.

My line of sight intersected with her round eyes, “the rest is up to you,” conveyed by those eyes and entrusted this task to me.

I raised the corner of my mouth.

“Understood!”

Holding my breath and dashing into the poisonous powder. Following this was an instant kill.

The two daggers flashed. Without needing the time to breath out, the two Imps were already dead.

Also, there is ……!

“……! Bell-sama, something slightly powerful came!”

“!”

The room began to shake. I quickly noticed it as well.

. A pig-headed type Monster that I had received much care from. The giant body that almost reached 3 meters was currently moving its hands forward.

Also, there were a few Imps in its surrounding. It was almost like a King leading its servants.

Occupying the sky was . A bat-type Monster that had its entire body enveloped in the color of darkness. Aside from the sharp teeth, it could also emit strange sonic waves that disrupt your concentration.

The remaining Imps also began to shake their tails and fled to unite with the group.

“It is slightly more……”

“Yes. It is rare for many types of Monsters to gather together. How should we do it, even if its only the Ogre, do you need Lili to lure it away?”

She raised this proposal as she placed her backpack on the floor and refilled the arrow in the hand-held crossbow.

I began to gaze attentively.

Due to the mist, it was difficult to grasp the number of Monsters aside from the Ogre. It will be slightly dangerous for Lili to take independent action if there were more Monsters currently lurking around hiding than what was confirmed……

I placed all the weapons that I was armed with into the sheath and began to, patapata, lift up my right arm.

“Bell-sama?”

“Ahaha, although I feel that I am overly reliant on it……”

Shall we go? The intention from my smile, Lili seems to have also noticed it.

She swiftly escaped to the side and opened a path.

At the same time the Monster’s roar that came from distance far away, entered my ears, I treated my right arm as a gun barrel and extended it to the front.

“ !”

The numerous lightning flames pierced through the mist. In just a few minutes, it completely decimated all the Monsters.

“Ah Lili. Am I too dependent on Magic?”

While I picked up a sandwich, I asked Lili about this matter.

In order for us, who basically wiped out the Monsters, to take a break, we returned to the starting room of the 10th floor. It is also the staircase area that connects to the 9th floor.

Only this area was slightly different. The mist will not appear. Because the vision was clear, the possibilities of being sneaked attacked was greatly reduced. It is not wrong to say that this was the only safe area in the 10th floor.

While I enjoyed the usual lunch that was prepared by Seal-san, I waited for Lili’s response.

Incidentally, the handmade sandwich in my mouth, as always, has a unique flavor. The more you chew, the more a refreshing bitter taste spills out onto the tongue.

Today’s attempt seems to be a waste. It feels that the deeper I go, the more depth it has……While having a sense of rudeness, I, mugumugu , moved my cheeks. To be honest, I wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

Towards this increasingly violent lunch, I felt fear.

“Nnn~yes, Lili did not think about it so much……Anyways Bell-sama’s Magic is very convenient……”

Using both her hands to hold onto a small, but tidy bread, Lili seems to be immersed in her thoughts.

The small mouth ate the bread with a cute movement. Shortly after she finished eating, Lili wiped her mouth with a napkin and began to comment on it.

“Because the activation conditions are very low, it is undeniable that it is easy to use. Compared to depending on it, it feels that it is more like Bell-sama’s actions, this was the feeling for it.”

“If you say that……”

It feels like it had become harmonious.

is a .

No matter what kind of Magic, it is impossible to avoid a Chant……In other words, it did not require charging.

Just like controlling my own limbs, this kind of description might be correct. However, perhaps for me, using is similar to using a bow and arrows. It was not an action that limited my movements.

“Though thinking about this, while Bell-sama’s Magic was very efficient, the meaning of it being a Magic had become very faint.”

“That……means?”

“Referring to the point about sure kills.”

When I heard this sentence, what emerged in my mind was a page of a certain book depicting about the activeness of Heroes.

The elf hero’s heroic posture while releasing a extreme chill blizzard towards large Monsters.

“ is the type of thing that is a trump card. It could be said to be the final move. By using the powerful power that could ignore Lv differences, even if it was against a higher Lv. enemy, it still has more than 100% chance of repelling them. Although Bell-sama’s Magic usage is very convenient, in contrast, it’s killing power definitely pales compared to it.”

Indeed, at the same time, my can be fired numerous times. It was different than the meaning of a trump card.

The weight embedded in each attack was not as strong as described by Lili.

I revealed a subtle expression as I listened to Lili’s words.

“Because a Long Chant Magic requires a lot of time, the effects it releases are very powerful. Thus, it is more likely to trigger a situation change. It is indeed a move that can turn the tables around.”

Which means, in turn……

“My Magic doesn’t have that kind of power……?”

“No, that’s not it. The key problem is about choosing quality over quantity or quantity over quality. Bell-sama’s Magic has a activation speed that could not be ignored……At least from Lili’s perspective, compared to a huge attack that requires a lot of time, Bell-sama’s that could be instantly fired seems to be more terrifying.”

“After all, I will definitely not be able to escape.” , Lili joked as she said it.

Overall, my Magic was still a powerful threat to the enemies.

However, it spends less effort. Based on the power of a single attack, it still lacks the instantaneous explosive power.

Towards a truly powerful enemy ??For example, Monsters with high durability ?? it is difficult for the normal attack Magic to have any effects.

No that’s not right, Mmmm, even Magic isn’t almighty. If you really wish to list their shortcomings, it might be endless……

Was it the drawbacks of the dreams that I had held since I was small about the phenomenon of Magic, once the weakness of the Magic I obtained was pointed out……How should I say it, there was a little bit of regret.

I do not know whether the inner feelings were expressed on my face, but Lili looked at me and gave a wry smile.

“Bell-sama, Bell-sama? Lili believes that Bell-sama’s Magic is a gigantic leap forward, you know? Needless to say, the activation speed and projectile velocity is naturally amazing and just solely focusing on the growth of this was already very remarkable. Calling it outstanding is not excessive.”

“……?”

“Activating a time-consuming Magic has no practical value. After all, Monsters will not wait leisurely until the Chant is over. If the opportunity to use it has decreased, it will naturally not reflect on the .”

If you do not use it enough, the basic ability of the Magic Effect will be difficult to increase.

If you could strive to use it nonstop, the effort and time could perhaps make up the deficiencies by several times

“As long as increases, the scale and power of the Magic will also increase. Even Lili’s Magic, which is unrelated to battle, has changed slightly after updating the .”

Lili’s , has a limit of a certain size and physique. Basically, Lili could only transform into the similar body size such as a Hobbit or a child. However, through the increase of , it seems that within imitating, it could also change the clothes somewhat.

The clothing right now is only for appearance, but based on the Magic Effects, she could change her clothes (Although it will be dispelled when she receives an attack).

I gazed intently at my own palm.

Indeed, the thickness and strength of the lightning flames have increased significantly.

“And returning back to the topic whether if you are excessively depending on Magic, if it was for the Magic to grow, then isn’t it understandable? However a dilemma occurs if you overly rely on Magic and ignore the skills of a bladed battle……Lili feels that Bell-sama should remain as he is right now.”

Lili’s analysis indeed contains a persuasiveness that causes one to nod.

This was the advice from a person, who had always watched Adventurers like me at close distance.

Listening to the words of my partner, it gave a feeling of something being pressed onto my back.

“Although Bell-sama’s Magic Properties are simple, the power is perhaps not outstanding, but the growth is undoubtedly numerous. Please have a bit more confidence in it.”

Towards Lili, who revealed a slight smile, my cheeks loosened up slightly.

If Lili guarantees it, then there is no reason for me to not believe in the possibilities of my Magic.

I feel that it was thanks to Lili that I could finally calm down.

While I felt slightly embarrassed, I said “Thank you” and stood up.

“Let’s work hard in the afternoon as well?”

“Okay, No matter where, Lili will support Bell-sama.”

Too distant, and I made a wry smile.

After that, we continued to raid the Dungeon.

“……”

I slowly opened my eyes.

I could see the blue sky.

While feeling the chill and the wind blowing past my skin, I stared at the sky that stretched to the horizon.

At the same time, I gradually noticed that my entire body was in pain and I attempted to recall the memories that cut off during the last 10 minutes……What emerged in my mind was a single blow with terrifying speed from that person.

Once again, I could not do anything and lost consciousness……

Towards the shameful act that was exposed numerous times, I dropped my head deep down inside my heart.

Carried out on the surrounding walls was the training with Aizu-san.

Under her severe fighting guidance, losing my consciousness seems to have already become something common. Currently, it was probably because I was easily knocked out so I was in the state where I was lying down on the surrounding walls.

How long did I sleep this time, while I appreciate the gentle feelings below my head, I continued to think blankly……Suddenly, I was caught off guard.

The golden eyes was staring directly at my face.

“Are you alright?”

“……UWAHHH!?”

Towards Aizu-san’s face that appeared in the center of my vision, I leaked out a strange sound and sat up.

As if I was trying to leave that place using the momentum of the roll, I stood up and turned my head back. Aizu-san was currently sitting on her knees on the stone floor.

……Looks like I was given a lap pillow again.

Was it because of the incident??The incident about fainting after releasing continuous usage of Magic?? that happened in the Dungeon before, I do not know why Aizu-san seems to give me a lap pillow during the period when I lose my consciousness.

I was happy…happy to the extent that I could not suppress it……But if I continue to think about it, I should just die. In a variety of meanings, I was extremely ashamed.

While Aizu-san incredulously stared at me, who was bright red, she continued to, patapata, and pat the top of her upper thighs.

I seemed to rattled horizontal and shook my head.

“Your body, is it alright?”

“……Yes.”

With a red face, I sat down closely next to Aizu-san (I was invited by her waving)

While my butt felt the cold stone, I placed my back onto the rock pile behind me.

The entire day today, I accepted Aizu-san’s guidance.

How it became like this, it was because I received this from Lili, “Today I must help out the place where I spend the night so I will not be able to accompany you to explore the dungeon”, this kind of contact.
