Chapter 109 Forbidden Dungeon Conquest - Fifth Floor Pt.I
[You have received 50 Status points]
[Current unused status points... 450 Status Points]
This may have looked like bad choice, but I shoved 150 points into magic power and 300 into mana. It wouldn’t be bad to major in magic instead of physical stuff like sword techniques or what-not.
I looked at the girls then sat up. We couldn\'t spend the entire time doing nothing. It had already been a day since we entered and I wanted to leave and explore Larm. I still hadn\'t explored the West and doing so would take some days apparently. I wondered what the others were doing.
[You have received 1x Loot Chest for Killing the <<Chimera Beast>>]
\'Oouu, a loot chest? Let\'s see.\'
I opened it.
[You have received 1x Chimera Hard Claw]
\'Huh? A chimera claw? What am I using this for though? I\'ll just put this here for later when I find some use for it.\'
I shoved it into my item box.
‘Ok, guys. Let\'s go.’
"Already?"
Aeri complained.
‘Of course already! It\'s already been an hour since we killed this thing. I think you\'ve had enough rest.’
"But my arm feels stiff."
‘We already cured that! Get off your ass and let\'s go!’
The others got ready and we finally decided to head off to the next floor.
[You have entered the Fifth Dungeon Floor]
[This is the last Dungeon Floor]
[Clear this floor to escape this dungeon]
\'Last dungeon floor, huh?\'
I opened the door and we all entered. The doors shut behind us, leaving us in a dark cold room. With [Sensors] my hair stood on ends. Something felt bad. Horrible in fact.
‘Let\'s go.’
I encouraged and although I didn\'t feel safe, we went.
’Holy sh-‘
Everywhere I looked, undead that were easily twice as big as a normal undead walked, protected by black heavy armor. Each and every one of them was a death knight. The special summon from earlier.
‘Each and every single one of them probably has the same stats as the one from before. What the hell? Maybe I should use the [Divine Fireball] to kill them all in an instant.’
I was about to shoot off one ball of fire at one of the undead, but then I decided against it. This lead the knight to begin running at me. Aeri however jumped in the way and punched the monster. She sent it flying with one punch, taking away most of its health, but it still wasn\'t enough to kill it. The knight staggered up and approached us once again. The others also charged at us, waving their demon long swords around.
\'Ah… it actually survived that? I guess they weren\'t kidding when they said monsters as strong as kings were here.\'
I looked at the monster, staggering towards us.
“Why didn’t you attack?”
Aeri asked something, but I ignored her.
\'This thing is almost as strong as strong as the skeleton giant from the second floor. And there\'s about fifty of them. I could easily use [Shadow Limb] or summon shadow demons to finish them off, but…\'
I noticed that the others were rearing to have a go at it.
\'In that case maybe I should let them fight while testing out my magic on something else.\'
I had come to a conclusion.
‘Ok, you guys fight the undead.’
"What? You aren\'t doing anything?"
‘No. If I am known for something, it\'s my sloth. You guys finish it, I\'ll still get a decent amount of experience points.’
Aeri looked at me like she was disgusted by what I said.
[The servant Aeri has lost 10 loyalty points]
\'She lost 10? Is it because she is from a battle tribe? She must see my decision as gross, dishonorable or something of that cringe sort. Hmmm, I want to correct this, but that would just be a waste of mana since I want them to level up a bit more and I don\'t know what is down there.\'
I walked away, leaving them to their fun. They should have been ok with just these guys as opponents. I didn’t know how, but I was suddenly stronger than Aeri, Kara, Kawaii and Ulva. This evolution was truly something else.
\'So twilight magic, huh? What can I do with that? I hope it\'s not something as stupid as using the power of friendship to defeat the evil forces and making them good princess ponies.\'
[The servant Aeri has killed one death knight]
I opened my palm and tried to use the magic. Just a wisp of purple flew off my hand.
\'Hmm… I guess I should just… wait a minute.’
[The servant Ulva has killed 4 Death Knights]
<<Luck>>
\'What?\'
[The servant Kawaii has killed 10 Death Knights]
\'Bad luck? I-I guess that explains a lot. Wait! Doesn\'t explain Amethyst.\'
[The servant Aeri has killed 25 Death Knights]
Let me try out demonic twilight manipulation.\'
[The servant Ulva has killed 5 Death Knights]
[Demonic Twilight Manipulation: A skill that allows the user to use demonic twilight. Costs 10MP per second]
\'Ah… that didn\'t describe shit about it. It\'s the same thing as leaving me confused. Useless skill menu.\'
[Demonic Light Manipulation: A skill that allows the user to use the lights of the demonic realm. Costs 10MP per second]
\'Ah… real good description. Tch.\'
‘You guys! On a second thought I\'ll participa-‘

They were done. All the undead knights were dead. Apparently it was a breeze for them because of their skills and Aeri\'s brute strength. Kawaii took the armor of some of the undead knights and ate them. She said she was planning on using the [Synthesis] skill she got from the chimera to create something hard, and I told her to create two of those. I then ate up the undeads.
[You have acquired 200XP]
[You have acquired the skill [Black Miasma]]
[You have acquired the skill [Sturdy Body]]
[You have acquired the skill [Relentless]]
[Black Miasma: A black cloud that prevents your natural weakness from having much effect. It will also poison any who comes close to you. Requires 100 Stamina points to create]
\'Hmm?\'
[Sturdy Body: You won\'t get killed in one hit.]
[Relentless: You won\'t give up after one try.]
The ground began to shake. I looked up and was surprised to see a throne of ice, with two beings. I could feel one of them glaring at me. My attention was directed to the one that sat beneath the throne. It wore sparkling armor, had two skulls and four arms, each holding a different weapon. A sledgehammer, a short sword, a naginata and a halberd.
"You…"
I cursed the two headed skeleton warrior in golden armor. My nemesis from before. It almost killed me the day Minerva kicked me out. I wouldn\'t ever forgive it.
"[Black Fire Ball]!"
I shot out a black fire ball at the undead, but it simply swiped at my fireball with the spear it held and the ball of fire disappeared without a trace.
"Eh?"
\'What just happened? Let me try this.\'
"[Ice Magic]."
I tried to freeze it, but it used that very sword to cut right through my ice or made it null. Completely surprised, I decided to take a look at the weapon, before remembering that [Analyst] was currently unavailable. Honestly, where was the agent at this time?
\'AH! What the hell kind of weapons are those.\'
"What\'s wrong Hinotori-sama?"
Kawaii asked.
\'Well, basically I can\'t throw elemental attacks, those would be useless here from what I see.\'
"How the hell are we supposed to fight something like that?"
\'I don\'t know.\'
"I can do this."
Ulva commented on the situation, leaving me slightly baffled.
\'What do you mean?\'
But she was long gone. She charged at the monster and swiped at it with her scythe. The monster managed to react quickly, attacking with its naginata. From there Ulva managed to swing herself with the scythe, using the naginata like a pole and then brought down the scythe once again, but the undead knight simply created a shield of ice above its head using the short sword. With a powerful boom, it used the hammer to send Ulva flying to the side. Shattered ice was sent flying from where Ulva crashed.
