I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 75

Chapter 75. 8th Floor (3)

When I was saying no new monsters appeared on the 8th floor, I encountered one in the fourth battle.

A beast resembling a tiger crawled out from between the trees in the forest.

Two long, sharp fangs protruded from its mouth.

Four of them.

Upon spotting us, they rushed toward us.

“So you’re here at last, huh?

“Isn’t that the saber tiger …… going to get the animal rights people upset?”

“It’s the definition of a monster not being an animal, and we’ve beaten mutant apes and such a lot, so I guess it’s too late now.”

“Right!”

“They’re coming! Kazane-san, I’m counting on you to do the magic with me!”

“I’m on it! Ready, go!”

“[Burn Blaze]!”

“[Windstorm]!”

No matter what kind of monster the opponent is, our fighting style is not that different.

We have to choose the best among several options.

If there are several enemies, the theory is to use ranged attack magic to dispatch them on the first move.

The 4 saber tigers that had run straight down the forest path were caught in a storm of flames and Kazane-san’s blades on their way.

A single [Burn Blaze] shot from Yuzuki would obliterate killer wasp or giant viper.

Even a death spider, if Kazane-san’s [Windstorm] overlaps, there’s no end to it.

However, the 4 beasts leaped out of the firestorm without one missing.

As expected of tiger’s toughness.

“I thought they would be right: [Rock Bullet]!” 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝗲𝘁

I fire a magic rock pellet at 1 of the 4 that jumped out.

The saber tigers that received a direct hit from the rock bullets were annihilated and turned into magic rocks.

The remaining 3 saber tigers jumped a little before they made contact with us and leaped toward Kazane-san and me.

One goes for Kazane-san, and two go for me.

“Kugh!”

“Ah!”

My spear pierced one of the saber tigers, and Kazane-san’s dagger sliced through another.

The two bodies turned into a black haze and disappeared, transforming into magic stones.

The remaining one, however, evaded my defenses and bit my left shoulder with its sharp fangs.

“Ugh ……!”

“Senpai! Damn: [Fire Bolt!”

Then Yuzuki’s magic attack covered me, and she killed the last saber tiger.

The battle was over.

A treasure chest had appeared.

I exhaled heavily, checked my remaining HP, and healed my wounds with [Earth Heal].

My current HP before healing was down to 85/110.

With my current magic power, I can heal this damage with a single [Earth Heal].

“Daichi-kun, are you okay ……?”

“Yes. It hurts compared to giant viper and death spider attacks, but not as much as mutant ape. It’s not poisonous either.”

“I’m glad to hear that. But it was surprisingly easy to win. I think I screamed when I first encountered a monster.”

“If anyone was yelling, I think it was Yuzuki. And wasn’t she like this when I first fought giant viper on the 6th floor?”

“Hmmm, now that you put it that way, it might have been like that.”

Saber tiger is a monster above death spider in terms of status, but much below mutant ape.

It doesn’t give bad status, and there was no real impact when I fought it.

It was just a little stronger than usual.

Kazane-san was about to deal with the treasure chests.

“The trap is ……[Poison Needle]? Hey, Hotaru-chan, I haven’t used [Trap Release] yet. Do you want to try and open it?”

“Blah, blah, blah! Oh, I’m going to decline! I mean, Kazane-san, are you still holding on to that?”

“Hmmm, too bad. Well then, let’s use [Trap Release]. What’s in the ~……? Hey, Daichi-kun. This isn’t an HP potion, is it?”

“Oh, ……, that’s right. The color is a little different. Isn’t that a High HP Potion by any chance? I think it was that color when I saw it at the armory.”

“Oooh, if it’s a High HP Potion, it’s quite a treasure. Hotaru-chan, please check it out just in case.”

“Here you go. Well then──[Item Appraisal]!”

After all, Yuzuki had obtained [Item Appraisal].

One of the main reasons for acquiring it was to get a detailed understanding of the armor’s Durability Value.

Until now, when I asked oyaji-san at the armory for the Durability Value, he would use [Item Appraisal] as a service.

It was a win-win strategy for oyaji-san to get us to buy the next item.

However, the black suit did not fall into either of these categories.

Therefore, oyaji-san demanded an appraisal fee of 1,000 yen each time he appraised the Durability Value of the Black Clothes.

That’s a perfectly reasonable arrangement.

It is perfectly reasonable to be grateful for the free [Item Appraisal], but it’s completely out of line to complain when he didn’t do it.

So, because of various other useful things, Yuzuki acquired [Item Appraisal].

“Hmm, it’s a High HP Potion after all. It recovers about 50 points of HP when you drink it.'”

Yuzuki tells me the result of the appraisal.

The normal HP potion is an item that recovers about 10 points of HP.

The selling price at the armory is 3,000 yen.

In contrast, the High HP Potion has the effect of recovering about 50 points of HP.

The price at the armory was, I believe, 30,000 yen.

It’s not a very important item for our party because we have recovery magic, but for a party that relies on potions for HP recovery, it is probably an important item due to the capacity problem of the [Item Box].

The high HP potion is stored in Kazane-san’s [Item Box].

After that, we took lunch boxes and drinks from the [Item Box], took a lunch break, and resumed our dungeon dive.
