âAh, I just went up to. Itâs nice that our levels go up even though weâre not moving.â (Haru)
âThatâs right. Weâre just talking and drinking tea.â (Kei)
The monsters that come to us gradually become larger and more ferocious. Are the monsters that are coming now from the 13th floor? Most monsters jump in the hole [Prison Gate] or hit the thorn wall made by [Bind], and then fall back into the hole.
Since the speed of each monster has increased, the processing speed has also increased, and more experience can be gained. Our current status has risen to our present level.
There are four magic spells and skills we acquired after the battle against Rimdobmur.
Haru was [Prison Gate] and [Magic Formation], and I received [Seal] and [Safe Zone].
When we looked up the details through [Analysis], all of them have unexpectedly good effects.
âPrison Gate⌠Open a door to the âPrisonââ
âMagic Formation⌠Weave a three-dimensional magic formation in the air. â
âSeal⌠Create a space where neither you nor others can use magic or skills.â
âSafe Zone ⌠Create a space where monsters wonât notice you.â
Since it we are in such a state, verification of the spells and skills has not yet been done, but they seem to be quite powerful.
As we saw, [Prison Gate] is powerful installation magic, and with [Magic Formation] we can use the three-dimensional magic power formation attached to the Guardian Staff of the Saintess that we saw before.
There may be restrictions on [Seal], but if we use it when we are in close combat against a magic-based monster, we will be able to stop the monsterâs attack.
[Safe Zone], we can easily take a break in a large area like the Forest, where it is difficult to return quickly. The important thing is how long before the monsters notice you, the size of the area, and the amount of magic power consumed, but there is no way to be sure in the current situation.
Come to think of it, the monster drops that fell into the [Prison Gate], for some reason they were coming out of the ground near Haru.
There was just too much of them. We couldnât be bothered to manually put them away in our item pouches. So, I placed an item pouch with the mouth facing down where the items were coming out. Weâve been doing it that way for a while now, and itâs been working great.
The thorns created with [Bind] and [Alchemy] become less effective as the monsters get stronger, so I had to use [Alchemy] again using a stronger material every time a crack appears.
âHmm? A strong one seems to be heading here.â (Haru)
When Haru suddenly stands up, she points her Tonfa towards the back of the dungeon and tells me.
âWell, I felt it just now. Itâs unique large beast-type. Itâs too big to evade.â (Kei)
âDo we have a trap for that?â (Haru)
No, I donât think so. We might be able to get by if we can drop it inside the [Prison Gate], but the thorns will surely break.â (Kei)
Thanks to [Perception] I can see that the monster is heading straight towards us without any hesitation. Even though there are turns down the road. In addition, the unique monster seems to be relentlessly trampling other monsters and causing the small fry monsters to disappear one after another.
âWe really have to take it head-on? We canât let it escape outside the dungeon, right?â (Haru)
âIf weâre not careful, the impact of that monster hitting the wall will cause our house to collapse.â (Kei)
âWeâve used our Treasure Tools, so we canât use them today. This is hard.â (Haru)
As we plan our strategy, we soon see the dust, and a unique monster appears in the distance.
âItâs a bear. Brother I will use magic to kill the momentum, can meet it, brother?â (Haru)
The unique monster was a huge, black bear. Its body is big, but its claws and fangs are even bigger, and its eyes are bright red. The fur looks more spiny than furry.
âI donât know if I can do it, but thatâs the only way. Iâll be getting ready now! [Slow] [Power] [Guard].â (Kei)
The bearâs speed slows down a little, and I now have more offensive and defensive power.
âRoger, [Magic Formation].â (Haru)
A cloud of light appeared in front of Haru, creating a familiar shape. Haru placed her hand gently on the form and smiled fearlessly.
A wall of light forms in front of the bear, but it is broken after a moment of intense struggle. But.
âWhatâs this?â (Kei)
I am surprised at the sight in front of me.
In front of me is magic with 10 layers of [Collapse].
For some reason, the magic that was supposed to wrap around and attack the enemy became an overlapping wall that will receive the bearâs charge.
âI thought it might happen because [Bomb] could be used in a new and interesting way. And I was right.â (Haru)
Then a black wall formed by overlapping [Collapse] spells was touched by the bearâs leg damaging it.
âI was wondering what would happen if I didnât use the monster as the target of [Collapse] and used all my strength on the space, but I guess this actually happens.â (Haru)
I donât know much about it, but it seems that the space where the [Collapse] overlaps is twisted, and a small looping space is created there. Therefore the bear canât move forward no matter how hard he runs.
âBrother, Iâm almost at my limit.â (Haru)
Nodding to Haruâs voice, he pulls out his sword and kicks the ground. The bearâs limbs run through the side of the [Collapse] wall.
Put the power of âstrong swordâ given to the sword and cut off the limbs one by one. It would not have been possible to cut it off if it was in its original state, but its limbs became brittle due to [collapse].
âThis is the end.â (Kei)
I tore through its limbs and confirmed that the bear was struck down and pushed back. Then, I used the trap [Prison Gate]
The bear couldnât resist and fell to [Prison Gate], where it disappeared after a few seconds of struggle.
âJust in the nick of time.â (Haru)
âWhat does it mean? Is another monster worse than a Stampede?â (Kei)
After defeating the bear and taking a breath of relief, we noticed the monsters crying from behind the dungeon and hurriedly recreated the trap.
