After pulling Emily up from the cliff, I worriedly asked.
[Emily! Are you hurt anyâ]
[I did well right~]
[âwhere, huh, eh?]
[I did exactly what Yoda-san has said nodesu~]
[âŠ.Ah, you mean back at the dungeon.]
I remembered about the Drowsy Slimes.
I freeze it with my Freeze Bullet, and Emily follows up with her hammer attack.
It is exactly the same flow as that time.
Is she trying to say she did a great job?
Emily looked at me intently.
How was it, how was it?
Praise me~ Praise me~
Even though she didnât say anything, I got a feeling that her expression clearly shows it.
âŠâŠ.I see, I understand.
[Iâm impressed Emily, you crushed it with a single strike~]
[Since the monster couldnât move, I can use my full strength to hit it nodesu~]
[Even if thatâs so itâs amazing. You even crushed that huge chunk of ice into pieces in one hit~]
[EheheâŠ..]
Emily who is blushing, is ecstatic after hearing my praise.
I was worried at first, but after seeing Emily who has done her best, she deserves a praise.
[Ah.]
[Whatâs wrong Emily]
[I leveled up nodesu~]
[Level up? Oh I see, You leveled up after defeating those Femini.]
[I leveled up a bunch!]
[Heh..?]
Iâm interested as to how much sheâs leveled up.
â
We went back to the city of Shikuro.
After sending the two guys to a hospital, and selling off all the carrots for money, we are now checking on Emilyâs status.
Different from the dungeon, we are currently checking the Know-It-All board inside the city which requires money.
If itâs in the dungeon itâs free, but if itâs in the city we have to pay.
At first I thought it was a pretty hilarious system, but after understanding that the products in this world comes from dungeon, I sort of understood why.
(TLN: I donât)
After paying 100 Piro to the Know-It-All board, we checked on Emilyâs status.
âââïŒïŒïŒâââ
Level: 20/40
HP: B
MP: F
Strength: A
Stamina: C
Intelligence: F
Mentality: F
Speed: E
Dexterity: F
Luck: D
âââââââââ
[Your level has increased so much!]
[Yes desu, it really did went up alot~]
[In just one fightâŠ.14, not wait, you upped by around 15 levels?]
Iâm currently looking at Emilyâs status on the board.
When I first met her, her level was only 3.
And all of a sudden her level flew to 20!
[âŠâŠ.Is Femini really a strong monster?]
[I donât know.]
[Now that you mention, we donât know any information about the Femini.]
Even if Emily said she doesnât know, but Iâm convinced that it was because of that.
At that time, inside the magic cart, before the items were transforming into rogue monstersâit turned back to monsters.
Thatâs why I used up all my Freeze bullets, and freezed them all up.
Then Emily struck it to pieces in one hit.
Though Emilyâs level is low but her strength is top-notch, thus she could defeat the completely unmoving monsters in one hit.
Thatâs why her level shot up, itâs pretty common in games too.
Although itâs just my speculation, but itâs probably true.
Now, whether itâs right or wrong.
Whatâs important is that Emilyâs level went up by a lot, and her ability has also improved significantly.
I looked at Emily who has her level and ability boosted up.
Looking at the pupils of Emily, itâs shining brightlyâand she looks really excited too.
â
One of the 5 dungeons in Shikuro, Arsenic.
Emily dragged me here, and the first thing we went inside the dungeon, I gotten shocked.
[The monsters!]
Even with this, there are too many monsters, itâs so crowded in here.
Rocks were rolling on the ground and it seems that itâs being dug out from the dungeonâs soil.
There are big and small sizes of rocks, the big ones seem to be able to sit, and the small ones have the size of a baseball.
Whatâs more all of them, have mouths and eyes attached to them.
When I was looking at the rocks, our eyes met.
Since thereâs a lot of them ranging over more than a hundred, their eyes are shining in the dungeon making it a bit scary to look at.
My gut tells me that the monsters are trying to do something so without thinking I pull out my gun, and shoot.
The bullet was reflected.
The rocks with eyes and mouth attached, is quite tough that it even repel a bullet.
[This is troublesomeâŠ.wait huh?]
As I was wondering whether to shoot more or think of another way to defeat it, I noticed that the monsters arenât moving.
Even the other monsters, when I shoot at the monsterâ-even the rather large rock didnât move an inch.
Only the eyes moved towards me, and stared at me while blinking.
[This is?]
I turned towards my side, and asked Emily.
[Itâs a monster name < Dante Rock> . All of the monsters in Arsenic dungeons are like that, a motionless rock type monster~] (TLN: ăăłăăă㯠is the name)
[All of them?]
[All of them, all the way till the last floor~]
[Then arenât they relatively easy to defeatââwait, donât tell me their super hard?] as I recalled the time I shot it.
[Yes desu. Even though theyâre monsters, they donât attack and we can defeat it just by breaking it like usual. But itâs reeeally hard, so people who can defeat it are limited.]
[HaaâŠ.I see.]
I then stare at the monstersâŠ.I mean Dante Rocks.
[It doesnât attack eh.]
[Yes desu.]
Emily went close to it, and stroke at one of the rockâs head(?).
Although the Dante Rock seemed angry glaring at Emily, but it didnât attack.
It didnât even escape, nor did it even try to move at all.
Only the eyes and mouth were moving, seems like the danger is zero.
[I want to try challenging it nodesu~]
[Challenge? Aah, since your strength is now at A.]
Flash back to just a moment ago.
Emily suddenly leveled up to 20 and her Strength has reached to A too.
Originally her Strength is at C, and itâs one of the highest stats Emily has, but now that she power-leveled, her Strength is now at the highest value which is A.
Now I understand why she wanted to come here.
[I want to try~]
[Good luck!]
[Yes desu!]
I cheered for Emily.
With that 130cm body, and her huge hammer that doesnât match her heightâshe went to beat it up.
The rock monster crumbled into pieces.
[I did it!]
[Amazing, one whack and it crumbled~]
[I tried to crush it with my full power.]
[Letâs see~ letâs see~ what does it dropâŠâŠIs this Dandelion?]
[Yes desu~]
Emily picked up the dropped Dandelion, and it put a bright smile to her face.
[Everything in Arsenic drops flowers.]
[All of them are flowers? But all the monster types are rock though.]
[Yes desu~]
[HehâŠ.]
Defeating rocks drops(produce) flowers huh.
[By chance, are there any dungeons that just have fruits?]
[I heard that Silicon is one of those dungeons.] (TLN: Name is ă·ă«ăłăł)
[I see.]
I now realized that dungeons tend to follow a theme.
Teruru would be slimes, Nihonium would be undeads, and here, Arsenic would be rocks.
Their drops probably also follow a theme. Teruru is vegetables, Nihonium is the ability seeds, and over here are flowers.
It also seems that Silicon only drops fruits.
[Then that means if you want to produce vegetables you go to Teruru, if you want to produce fruits you head to Silicon, and Arsenic if you want to get flowers. Itâs divided evenly.]
[Yes desu! But, but there are some exceptions nodesu.]
[Exceptions?(again?)]
[On Teruruâs seventh floor they drop watermelons. Thatâs why it isnât always vegetableââ]
[Ah~, about that.]
I showed a pitiful expression and point out.
[Thatâs because, watermelons are vegetables.]
[Ehhhhhhh!?]
Emily looks like she was surprised to death.
â
Afterwards, I went on a date(not) with Emily.
To the rocks, Dante Rocks that are rolling around, she went around and broke them.
Despite the fact that their monsters, but because they donât move at all while defeating it, it doesnât feel like a fight but rather a stroll in a park.
Break, break, break, the defeated monsters dropped more Dandelions.
Although Emilyâs drop rate is low and itâs not a guaranteed drop, but this is still a fair amount of it.
But the rate in which it breaks is high.
Along the way some other adventurers came to challenge it, using the same blunt weapon as Emily to whack it.
Though their rate in defeating them isnât as high as Emily.
When the other adventurers managed to break one, Emily has already broken 5 of them.
Itâs as if digging a mine, Emily is continuously breaking the rocks and getting the Dandelions.
On that day, she earned around 5k Piro.
And now everyday, Emily would regularly come here and do the same thing.
