Chapter 18 Labyrinth Of The Dead 2

 A staircase and a wooden box appeared in front of us after we killed Highghost and Ghoul. Isn't a wooden box a treasure chest in this case? What is this wooden box that looks like an apple box?

There doesn't seem to be a trap. Can you open it?"

 Sela told us no, and removed the lid of the crate to see what was inside. Inside the crate was a broken sword and a book.

"It's broken, isn't it?"

"You're broken."

"You're broken."

"Gow."

 It's not a treasure chest, but it's funny that the box that appears after defeating the boss contains a broken sword!

 At any rate, the broken sword will be put into storage. And the book that came with the broken sword, it turns out to be a skill scroll.

"So a skill scroll is something that if someone with the right aptitude reads it, they will learn magic and skills."

"Magic and skills, what kind of magic and skills can this skill scroll learn?"

"It's hard to say without someone who can [[appraise]] the item."

 Oh, by the way, I have a [[appraisal]].

 Type: Scroll of Demonology Skill

 Description: A person with the aptitude can learn the skill [[Demon Appraisal]] by reading it.

 It's an appraisal skill for demons, right?

[[Hey, Ins. What kind of skill is [[Demon Appraisal]]?

[It can tell you the race, rank and skill of the demon. Compared to [[Appraise]], which you have, the scope of this skill is narrower, but the good thing is that you can find out the weakness of the demon.]

[Oh, it's good to know a demon's weakness.]

[A useful combat aid.]

"This is a [[Demon Appraisal]] skill scroll, isn't it?"

"[[Demon Appraisal]]?"

"I've never heard of this skill before."

"Gaw?"

"Judging from the skill's name, it seems to be a demon-specific appraisal skill. If you sell it, I think it will fetch a good price."

 It's a useful skill, and we'd be better off using it ourselves than selling it. The best candidate is Sailor, who is a scout.

"This should be used by Sailor. It seems that she can understand the weaknesses of demons, so I think it's better for Sailor, who is a scout, to use it."

"Are you sure?"

 If Sailor, who is a scout, tells everyone about the demons she finds, that alone will give her an advantage in battle. Lethia has no objection, and Saint-Louve goes without saying. However, you can't learn it if you don't have the aptitude for it, so I tried, but I was able to learn it well and the skill scroll produced a sparkling effect, and the light went into Sailor's chest.

 I couldn't help but stare at Sailor's breasts, but it was force majeure!

 When we descend the stairs, we find a stone passage that looks exactly the same as the one on the first basement floor, and we continue on. I don't want to go, but I'm forced to go.

 On the second basement floor, Highghosts usually appear, but I kill them with my magic. Maybe I'm stronger than I thought?

 The other demons that appear are higher level demons than ghouls, such as ghoul hunters and ghoul swordsmen. The ghouls are found by Sela and killed mainly by Lethia and Saint-Louve, so your progress is surprisingly fast.

 We're exploring the dungeon at the pace of Sailor and the others, but we're able to keep up with them because our levels are getting higher and our strength is increasing.

"There's a ghoul wizard around the corner. He's a ghoul with wind magic. They number three and have no weaknesses."

"Huh? You're a ghoul and you don't have a weakness? Doesn't fire have a weakness?"

 Ghoul Hunter and Ghoul Swordsman were weak against fire. Well, they were killed instantly by Lethia and Saint-Louve because of their physical weakness.

"Apparently, ghoul wizards don't have any weaknesses, unlike other ghoul types."

"What can I do without? And I've never fought a magical demon before, so how do I fight it?"

"Close combat from a surprise attack would be good."

"Then let me and Saint-Louve take care of that."

 With that, Lethia and Sanlove run to the Ghoul Wizard.

 The ghoul wizards begin to chant after seeing Lethia and the others, but at that moment, Sailor's arrow pierces the mouth of one of the ghoul wizards. Before the ghoul wizards can finish their chanting, Lethia and Sanlove come into contact with two ghoul wizards, whose heads and bodies are instantly separated.

 Finally, a ghoul wizard with an arrow in his mouth who can't chant, and I destroy his head with a barrage of MP7 shots.

 You've reached the boss room on the second basement floor.

 After a short rest, I open the door and look inside, but there is nothing. If you go inside, the door will close. The door to the boss room on the first basement floor also closes by itself, and I've heard that the door to the boss room in dungeons doesn't open until the battle is over, the boss is defeated, or more than 10 minutes have passed, so I'm not particularly surprised.

 But the problem was the boss who came out of the door. The boss appears in the center of the boss room. It's an undead demon with a black cloak, a big sickle and a skull on its head.

"Hey, it's Rich! He's a rank 5 monster!"

 Rank 5, that's a rank higher than the General Wolf that led the Wolf demons during the Stampede, which means it's even stronger than that General Wolf.

"Give them 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 10 minutes, and when the door unlocks, fall back!"

 Looks like we're in a life-threatening situation.

 Lethia will take her shield and position it between Rich and I, while Sailor and Saint-Louve will take up a ranger position.

[Ins, what am I supposed to do?]

[Let's see what we have on Rich first. Let Sela see what his weaknesses are.]

"Sailor, check your weaknesses!"

"Yes, yes! ...Holy attribute!"

 None of us have any holy attributes!

 Info: Rich, Rank 5, 1 year old.

 HP: 10000

 MP: 500000

 Strength: 1000

 Endurance: 1000

 Magic: 7000

 Agility: 500

 Dexterity: 500

 Charm: 100

 Good luck: 1

 Active Skill: [[Magic Manipulation (B)]]

 Passive Skills: [[Physical Resistance(B)]][[Scythe Technique(B)]]

 Magic Skill: [[Deadly Magic (B)]]

 Unique Skill: [[Dungeon Master]]

 Well, this is a death flag, isn't it? What's with her MP? Her HP is high, but her MP is crazy, right? And its magic power is crazy high. This is a rank 5 demon?

 And [[Dungeon Master]], so this Rich is the last boss. He should show up at a deeper level.

"[[Physical Resistance]]", so Lethia should be on the defensive! Sanlove, use your speed to play with that guy! Sela, you'll have to time it!"

"""Roger! (Wa-on!)"""

 But we're not gonna win. We're not gonna survive. Figure out a way to make it last 10 minutes before the door unlocks.

 While I'm thinking about it, Rich moves quickly and quickly gets to Lethia, wielding a scythe in his bare bone hand.

 Lethia quickly raises her shield and catches the scythe. She then pushes the scythe out of Rich's body and strikes him with her axe, but the axe slips through Rich's body.

 Apparently, [[Physical Resistance]] is working.

"Doesn't work on anything but magical attacks..."

"If that's the case, there's nothing that Lethia-san or Saint-Loup can do about it, is there?"

"...huh, let's do it."

 Take out the staff of fire.

[Ins, how much MP can I put into a staff of flame?]

[If it's not damaged, it's about 50. If it is up to about 100, the breakage rate is about 30%, and if it is about 200, the breakage rate is almost 1 If it is 200, there is almost 1.00% chance of breakage.]

[How much damage can a spell with 50 MP do to that lich?]

[It's thought to remove roughly 10 HP]

[Huh? ...Why does it only do that kind of damage?]

[Lich's magic is high, so his magic resistance is high]

[If that's not possible... then how much MP do I need to put in to defeat the lich?]

[At 800 MP, you'll be able to take him down in one shot]

[Huh? You'd only lose 10 HP at 50 MP. But 800 MP can remove 10 000?]

[The more MP you put into it, the faster it increases in power.]

[Well, with 800 MP, I can do it!]

[However, if you activate a spell with that much MP in this small space, the power of the spell is so great that Lethia and the others, as well as the Master, will not be able to get away for free.]

[...it's a dead end?]
