Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 599: Dungeon Exploration 5

After spending the night in the safe zone on the 35th floor, we thinned out the monster population until we descended to the 42nd floor.

「So it’s fine as long as we leave this room and wait?」

「That’s right. We just have to wait for them to respawn. How long do they take to respawn, Ryuka?」

「60 minutes, Queen Fraal.」

「Then while waiting for that, let’s clear the next room.」

Having mostly subjugated the monsters that spawned on the 42nd Floor, we ended up in a somewhat spacious room where Lizardman Knights, Lizardman Generals, Orc Generals, an Orc King appeared.

Now, we had just finished the first round of subjugation, Queen Fraal told us that it was time for the monsters to respawn.

The Undead room that Queen Fraal was talking about was a room that spawned Skeleton Knights, Skeleton Generals, Dullahans, Wraiths, and Lesser Lichs.

According to Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san, the weapons and armor that those monsters drop were valuable to Accuros and the other nations in the Demon Continent.

We were aware they had slightly better equipment, but it definitely seemed like a lot of work to get enough for an army.

Moreover, if we’re fighting the undead, it’s not challenging for us at all.

When I casted the 『Purification』 magic on the entire room at the start, it was enough to extinguish the Wraiths and other incorporeal monsters. Moreover, since 『Purification』 was of the Light attribute, it dealt some damage to the other Skeleton Knights and Generals, Dullahan, and the Lesser Lich. If the Lich hadn’t been a “Lesser”, nothing but a Sanctuary Field would have had an effect on it.

If everyone’s weapons and armor were enchanted with the Light attribute, it was even easier to cause damage to them. Well, if Sophia equipped the Sacred Sword Amaterasu, it wouldn’t even need a Light attribute enchantment and still cause tremendous damage towards the undead though.

After that, we alternated between the two dungeons, clearing them repeatedly.

With a quake-inducing Earthquake Foot, I stomped, amplifying the force generated by my lower half with a spiral motion, and enveloping my elbow in 『Ki』, striking the torso of the Lizardman General’s much larger body.

Dogoooon!!

Internal damage through combination of direct physical attack power and Sleeping Strength Technique, and 『Decomposition』 on top of that renders the metal armor virtually defenseless.

Given the normally high defense of the Lizardmen species because of their scaly hide, going against higher evolutions that have learned to wear armor were the best sparring opponents for me.

Sophia and Maria were also defeating monsters without much difficulty. It seems their battle senses have returned.

Marnie seemed like she was having trouble because her weapon lacked some firepower, but fighting against monsters like Dragon-types and Trolls, she was managing fairly well.

The short range of her weapon forces her to be super close ranged, but while I did have my concerns about this, I would think about it more when we return to the Sanctuary. I’ve decided to upgrade both the offensive and defensive gear.

Still, it was surprising to see that Berkut was doing fairly well on the lower floors of a high difficulty dungeon.

Kaede and Titan were providing support, and while Berkut’s weapon performance elevated Berkut, she still did satisfactory without those.

The spearhead of Tempest was enveloped in Wind Magic Power. The storm spear etched gleaming lines on the Lizardman General.

One beat later, without even being able to let out a dying scream, the over 4 meter tall Lizardman General clad in full-body armor had dropped to the floor in pieces. The clattering resounded in a place that fell silent as all of the monsters had been eliminated.

With a swish, the Tempest swung and landed perfectly at her side in an alert stance.. And as Sophia relaxed her stance, her expression was one of satisfaction.

She really must have polished the rust off her body in today’s dungeon dive. Including Marnie and Maria, they seem to have managed to gain several levels too.

「Good work, Sophia. It seems got the feeling back.」

「Thank you very much, Takumi-sama.」 freewebnøvel.coɱ

「Then shall we head home after harvesting?」

「Yes.」

As to be expected, staying away from our babies for several days was not something even the mothers want to do.

We returned to the surface using a Teleportation Circle on the 40th floor.

In this dungeon, there was a Teleportation Circle to escape from every ten floors starting from the 20th floor. I’ve heard that among the dungeons that span over several tens of floors, there were dungeons that had no Teleportation Circles, and if you dived into them, you would be stuck in there for a long time.

According to Ryuka-san, it was insane to go all the way to the bottom of this dungeon in one overnight stay.

It was decided that the dungeon drops from this dungeon consisting of armaments, a large amount of orc meat, and magic stones were going to be handed over to Queen Fraal’s side, and I transported them over to the warehouse of Accuros.

Berkut was given some Orc meat, Dragon meat and bones, Troll leather, and magic stones. As for us, we took a bit of Orc meat, Dragon meat, and the copious amounts of magic stones remaining.

We can never have too much magic stones as we always have a use for them.

Now then, let’s return to our babies.
