Chapter 268: Scarlett (2)

It was December.

Last month, my friends and I had defeated Beebe and then challenged Scarlett.

The worm-like 3rd Floor Boss, had no resistance and received every attack, but also recovered at a tremendous rate.

We were unable to inflict more damage than its recovery rate.

After three hours of stalemate, we gave up on that day.

Then, some time later, my <Strengthening> reached Level 8.

So we had a rematch, but we still couldn\'t beat it.

<Strengthening> Level 8 increased the summon\'s two stats by 2000, as expected, but even the 1000 increase in [Attack] compared to 7, we were not able to defeat Scarlett.

After three hours of intense fighting that day, we could not beat it and decided to give up.

Then the month changed to December.

Since then, Sophie had already changed Talents and become a Spirit Grand Mage.

Everyone who had their Talent changed, with the exception of Merle and Sophie, had increased their Skill Levels to Level 6.

So, we decided to challenge Scarlett for the fourth time.

"Today, we will challenge Scarlett."

"It\'s great that you haven\'t given up yet."

"Well, we have to defeat this guy to get to the 5th floor. How long do you plan to stay in this S-class dungeon?"

"Ummm. The Emperor hasn\'t asked me to come back yet. Maybe I\'ll be able to see you conquer the dungeon."

I used to share information with Helmios\' party, who lived with us, whenever we did something that we normally wouldn\'t.

And I also checked Helmios\' schedule from time to time.

Although Helmios\' party had been in the S-class dungeon for a long time, their goal was not to conquer the dungeon.

They searched for equipment and made a lot of money, but they still stayed in the dungeon.

He usually stayed in the dungeon for only a couple of months, but perhaps after finding out that a Divine Artifact had been stolen, he prolonged his stay in the S-class dungeon.

"Well, Allen\'s skill is very close to leveling up."

Cecile joined the conversation.

My <Summon> had nearly reached Level 8.

Buying extra magic stones from the Adventurer Guild of Imperial Capital helped me make faster progress.

It was only with the help of my friends that I was able to prepare materials for the Adventurers\' Guild and earn skill experience at the same time.

"Heh~. I\'d like to see your new skill."

Rosetta, the Thief, and everyone else\'s eyes were focused on me.

Apparently, my skills were of everyone\'s interest.

"If we can\'t defeat Scarlett today, we\'ll wait for my skill levels until we try again."

"Fufufu. That\'s not going to happen. Tam-Tam will beat Scarlett to a pulp today."

"Mmm-hmm."

Merle folded her arms and declared that she would defeat Scarlett.

Kurena, for some reason, folded her arms together and smiled wryly.

"Che."

Admiral Galara clicked his tongue at such talk between Merle and Kurena.

Without reacting to Admiral Galara\'s swearing, as usual, my friends and I headed for the temple.

Then we moved to the 3rd Floor.

"Scarlett is over there. Let\'s go."

The Giant worm-shaped scarlett was in the sand.

Although I couldn\'t see it, I knew its whereabouts as E-rank Bird was keeping an eye on it.

"I\'ll be the one attacking first today!"

As soon as we reached the sky above Scarlett, who was moving silently through the sand, Cecile behind me declared that she would take the first shot.

Of course, it didn\'t matter, as we had a meeting to rearrange the timing.

"Kiel. Like I said before, it\'s recovery is slow for a moment, so watch out for that."

"Yeah, I know."

"Please. If we don\'t get this right, Kurena and Dogora will be out of position and we won\'t be able to beat Scarlett. We can\'t defeat other Floor Bosses without this formation."

"Ah."

When Kiel expressed his dissatisfaction that I didn\'t have to repeat myself, I firmly reminded him of the situation.

"Well, then, Cecile. You may start."

When everyone was in position, I moved a B-rank Fish in the sand.

Scarlett, who noticed the B-rank Fish approaching towards it, showed a big reaction under the sand.

Scarlett tried to eat the B-rank Fish.

The B-rank Fish suddenly disappeared, and in confusion, Scarlett reveals its body from the sand by raising its head aboveground.

"Okay, I\'ve got a catch!"

"[Small Meteorite]!"

Scarlett lifted its head only for a huge, red-hot mass of burned rock to make it fall perpendicular to the ground.

Equipped with a Ring that raised her [Intelligence] and [Attack] by 3,000 each, and thanks to her two Talent changes and capped status, Cecile\'s Extra Skill [Small Meteorite] had become a lot stronger.

[Small Meteorite] crushed Scarlett\'s head and further crushed some part of its body as well.

The impact of the [Small Meteorite] caused a crater to form, revealing all of Scarlett\'s body buried in the sand.

Kurena and Dogora were straight for Scarlett, whose head was crushed.

We had fought against Scarlett multiple times before, so we know that it was not enough to defeat Scarlett.

It lifted itself up and was about to regenerate, but Kurena and Dogora attacked the part from where the regeneration process was about to start.

(It doesn\'t seem to have a weak point, so we will have to create one. Let\'s see if we are successful.)

Scarlett was not resistant to any form of attacks, but it didn\'t have a weak spot either.

So, we carefully attack the injured areas.

In the midst of all that, we played the strategy that would be the deciding factor in the battle.

"Tam-Tam, Descend!"

Merle summoned her Mithril Golem at the same time as Kurena and Dogora started attacking.

[Name] Tam-Tam

[Pilot] Merle

[Rank] Mithril

[Strength] 15,000 + 1800

[Mana] 15,000 + 1800

[Attack] 15,000

[Endurance] 15,000 +1800

[Agility] 15,000

[Intelligence] 15,000 + 1800

[Luck] 15,000

In the Bakius Empire, a Golem that reached 100 meters in height was called a Titan Golem.

The condition for a Golem to become a Titan was to fit a Giant and a Super-Giant Stone Slab in the same Magic Board.

The Golem, which used to be 10 meters tall, had evolved and reached 100 meters and its status was five times that of its original form.

Merle\'s Mithril Golem was the largest and had the highest status of everyone in the party, including my summons.

(As powerful as ever. The only drawback is that Kiel and my summon\'s buff skills don\'t work on Golems.)

"[Lightsaber]!"

Merle activated the [Light-Flux Sword] skill that I once called \'Lightsaber\'.

The Mithril Golem used its glowing sword-like skills to attempt to literally cut a circle around the center of Scarlett\'s torso.

Merle slowly cut Scarlett into two equal parts, while splattering a large amount of blood and bodily fluids.

"Oh! One side is not moving!"

(We couldn\'t do it before, but have we found a strategy?)

One half of the Scarlett that had been cut into two was immobile, so if we tried to further cut Scarlett in two equal halves, we could try to defeat it by making it smaller and smaller and then try to concentrate our attacks on a single point.

I was worried that Scarlett\'s regenerative ability would cause each of them to be regenerated into two bodies when they were divided into two equal parts, but that didn\'t not seem to be the case.

"Sophie! Look at the ground."

"Sophie! [Great Spirit Manifestation] please."

Merle and I noticed at the same time that the end of the body which was moving was trying to enter the sand.

"Yes! Dear Great Spirit Gnome. Please help us."

Sophie activated her Extra Skill [Great Spirit Manifestation].

The Great Spirit Gnome appeared and hardened the sandy ground into a rock-like surface.

The ground turned from sand to bedrock, stopping Scarlett\'s escape.

Then, Kurena activated her Extra Skill to cut Scarlett, who was one-sixteenth the size, to a lump.

I also sparingly let B-rank Dragon use its awakening skill [Fires of Wrath] to roast it whole.

Then about 20 minutes passed.

"You have defeated the Scarlet-Sand-Worm. You have acquired 250,000,000 experience."

""Oh, wow!""

Scarlett disappeared, and an S-rank magic stone and an Iron Medal with the pattern of a worm-shaped magical beast fell on the rock-hard ground.

The smiles leaked out of everyone\'s faces as we successfully defeated Scarlett after many failed attempts.

(This is it. It has to be this way!)

It brought back vivid memories of the most enjoyable times in my previous life, like when I fought desperately against an enemy that I could not defeat through trial and error and finally found a strategy.

"Now all that\'s left is Crimson."

"Ah."

I responded to Dogora\'s voice, but I had a concern in my mind.

Admiral Galara\'s party of 20 Tittan Mithril Golems failed miserably to defeat the Dungeon Boss.

Allen wondered if defeating Scarlett and getting <Summon> to Level 8 was the minimum requirement for the attack.
