Shinka no Mi

(TN: Another long chapter)

As the Snake God said, powerful monsters have attacked at the lower layer.

All levels are over 700.

That’s why, I said I would fight too, but I was gently refused by Louise, and the members other than me are fighting against the monsters.

Yes, Luthia is also fighting with Saria and the others now.

“……This, am I needed?”

I’ve said that involuntarily, but from my point of view, I don’t know what I’m here for. I’m not even sure.

Fortunately, under the grassland layer, the cave structure was back once again, and because the passages are narrow, we don’t have to worry about being attacked by a large amount of monsters all at once.

“――――Saria, proceed that way!”

“Un, roger that!”

Al confronted a giant mantis monster…… and moved around to confuse the 『Crazy Mantis Lv: 711』, and when there’s a chance, Saria hits it with a powerful blow and knocks it down.

“Aah!”

“……Glutton, thinking about helping a little……”

“Can it be eaten?!”

“…… That’s enough.”

Rurune and Olga-chan are fighting against an evil horse monster with blood vessels floating all over its face called 『Tyrant Horse Lv: 802』. Yup, donkey VS horse.

However, Rurune struck the huge figure regardless of whether the opponent was a horse or not, and Olga-chan is attacking its vital points accurately base on her movements.

“Luthia-san”

“Yeah…… 『Demon King’s Hand』”

“『Water Laser』”

Louise and Luthia were, dealing with a snake-type monster again called 『Evil Snake Lv: 900』.

No, it’s one-sidedly annihilated rather than being their opponent.

Its level difference should be at least close to 400, but Luthia’s 『Demon King’s Hand』 burned its torso, and Louise slashes the head of the rampaging Evil Snake with a sword wearing the 『Water laser』.

……

“Am I not needed after all?”

I haven’t even had a fight since coming here!? And I was asked to investigate!

When I seriously reconsider the meaning of my existence here, Louise, who had finished defeating the monsters, approached closer.

“No, Shishou. Because Shishou is here, we can challenge higher class monsters with peace of mind. ”

“Really? Still, I feel like it would be better if I could fight, too……”

However, since they can handle the current situation, I think it’s good to respect everyone’s will to train.

As I sighed out without any choice, Louise told me as she remembered.

“Ah, Shishou. By the way, my level has reached 730. ”

“Fuu!?”

“Ah, I’m 900!”

“You’re kidding me!”

Not only did Louise’s level exceed over 500, but it seems to have become a ridiculous number of 730.

Moreover, Saria’s level also reached 900 …….

“Saria is a monster, so I can understand that, but what about Louise!? The highest level the humanity could have is 500, and I thought it was very hard just to overcome one?!”

“But, now it’s 730.”

“That’s not the answer!”

Those who have exceeded level 500 are said to be 【Transcendents】, but Louise is too much of a transcendental! What happened!?

To me, who tsukkomi’d about it, Al opened her mouth.

“Ah……That…… Seiichi”

“Nn?”

“…………I’m …… at level 687……”

“…… Seriously?”

“Ye, yes”

It seems that Al has already joined the 【Transcendents】’s group before she was aware of it. Is that a lie?

“O, Olga-chan and Rurune!?”

“…… Um, Seiichi-oniichan …… I’m, 710″

“Milord, I’m not sure!”

“I don’t understand Ruruné the most!”

I’m not surprised that Olga-chan became a 【Transcendents】 when she reaches this point, but that’s not the case with Ruruné.

That’s because she’s the donkey that drained all the water on the lake!?

Contrary to me who’s become tired of retorting, Luthia was excited and her tension went up.

“Seiichi. I’m level 651. This makes me a member of the 【Transcendents】 as well. “

“That’s…… well…… When the time you’re targeted, can you feel relieved to a certain extent?”

“Yes. This will reduce the burden on Zeros and the others …… And then, when my father came back, I want to get a little compliment. ”

“That’s right……”

Speaking of which, Luthia is the 『Demon King’s Daughter』, and not the 『Demon King』.

After all, Luthia’s father is still alive. I don’t know where he is.

I haven’t heard the details about him …… After this dungeon is over, I would ask her if I can hear it.

After all, it seems that everyone except me has joined the rank of 【Transcendents】 in terms of their level…… Rurune? Anyway, she’s also a 【Transcendents】. Otherwise, the donkey couldn’t be such an incomprehensible existence!

It’s hard for me to raise my level because of the effect of my robe. I can take it off, but I’ve been wearing it for a long time now, and I don’t want to further go away from 『Humans』 that I know.

I never thought that I would be in a group full of 【Transcendents】, but I think it’s a good thing to be strong enough to protect oneself, so we move on.

Then Olga-chan suddenly stopped.

“…… Seiichi-oniichan”

“Nn? What’s wrong?”

“……this wall, can probably be broken”

“Eh?”

The wall pointed to by Olga-chan, is the same as the other walls if I just look at it. I mean, I was even breaking the wall that couldn’t be broken at the Black Dragon God. Yeah, let’s forget it.

When I was determined to seal that incident in the Black Dragon God’s dungeon, Olga-chan attacked the wall with her Kunai*. (TN: If you don’t watch naruto then, https://en(.)wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunai)

“Oh……”

As a result, as Olga said, the wall could easily be broken, and a small room appeared.

A treasure chest with luxurious decorations is placed in the center of the room……This treasure box isn’t a monster, right?

Now, when I think of Treasure Box that is with my dad and others, Olga-chan entered the small room with a little vigilance.

“……Nn. In this room, too, there are no traps in treasure box. ”

“Eeh? Does Olga-chan have trap detection skills?”

“……Yeah. When I was in the Kaizer Empire, I was trained for it along with assassination skills.”

“……Really. I heard something bad. However, please understand that that ability is very appreciated by adventurers who dive into a dungeon.”

“……Yeah, it’s okay, Altria-oneechan. I don’t care anymore. More than that, I’m glad to be of help to Seiichi-oniichan and the others.”

When Al looks apologetic, Olga-chan shook her head and tightens her chest a little.

I pat her head unintentionally because of her cuteness, and enter the small room again.

“Now then…… Olga-chan doesn’t particularly sense a trap that is set upped in this treasure box, so let’s open it. “

And, when the treasure box was opened without hesitation, a kunai with a slightly different shape from the Kunai used by Olga-chan came out.

“……This is, a kunai”

“Well, that’s right……. Now, does it have any abilities?”

『Curse Snake Kunai(Juja)*』…… The curse serpent has its potency and anguish dwelling on it. Legendary weapon. By pouring your own magic power into the kunai, it’s possible to impart three status abnormalities: paralysis, poison, and petrification. The number increases according to the owner’s will, and when thrown, the owner can voluntarily erase that kunai and return it back. (TN: noroi hebi no kuna(Jiyuja), Kuna, the kanji used in this case, can also mean ‘Painlessness’)

“……It’s a pretty fiendish weapon, isn’t it? This …..”

“I agree…… its performance is probably suitable for a legendary class. Nevertheless, it turns out that the difficulty of this dungeon is quite high in the legendary class.”

Al and Louise, who know dungeons well, rated it.

Certainly, I think this Kunai is very powerful.

It’s also powerful that three status abnormalities of paralysis, poison, and petrification can be granted if you use magic on it, and more than that, it’s really scary that the number increases depending on the owner’s intention.

In other words, it will continue to increase infinitely.

Moreover, this kunai can be thrown infinitely, and it can be erased without recovering the Kunai that has been thrown …….

As I was surprised at the unexpected weapon, Olga-chan was looking with her eyes shining at the kunai.

.

“Yes, Olga-chan.”

“……? Why are you giving it to me?”

“Why, is it …… Olga-chan found it, so Olga-chan should use it, right?”

“Bu, but……”

“Olga-chan also uses a Kunai, and Olga-chan has to use it!”

Olga tries to refrain it for some reason, but not only me but Saria also persuaded her.

She didn’t know what to do, and when Olga-chan also looked at Al and the others’ faces, Al and the others also smiled and nodded.

“…… Is it okay?”

“Like I said, it was Olga-chan who found this room, and it got the kind of weapon that Olga-chan uses.”

“……Nn. I get it…… thank you”

Olga-chan, who received the kunai, smiled happily.

Looking at that, Luthia says with a little envious.

“It’s good right…… I basically use magic to fight, so I can’t get such a strong weapon or something like that……”

“Is that so? My brother is also a magician, and didn’t he have some wands that increase his magic power and items that make it easier for him to control his magic? I don’t know if you can get that in this dungeon, but even magicians should have some powerful items.”

“Is that right? Then …… maybe it’s a good idea to look for treasure chests and stuff.”

Luthia, who received advice from Louise, seems to have another goal.

It’s certainly important to raise your level as a way to get stronger, but at the same time, it’s best to also have powerful weapons and items.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll try to find it too. I wish I could get a weapon or something ……”

“I agree…… I also want a weapon that can be worn on my legs ……”

Probably inspired by Luthia, Saria and Rurune also want some weapons and items.

If each of them gets some weapons, Saria will be strong, but on the contrary, I was scared of what would happen to Rurune. I wonder where she’s headed. I originally bought her for riding.

Not only Luthia, but Saria and Rurune also want weapons or items hah ……

The more we fight, the more drop items we can get …… and I want to prepare items or weapons for the three people somehow.

Nevertheless, there’s a 『Snake』 even on the weapon given to Olga-chan hah.

I’m certain that this dungeon has a lot to do with 『Snakes』.

But, I just don’t know what it is …….

We have no more use in this small room, so we returned to the passage again, and move forward.

Then, monsters attacked again on the way, but Olga-chan, who had a new weapon in her hand, was very active.

“……mysterious 『Prison of Suffering*』” (TN: ku goku)

As she makes countless number of 『Curse Snake Kunai』 that she just got, she threw them all at once on the 『Sage Snake Lv: 855』 with gray scales and red eyes that is attacking her.

At the beginning, the Sage snake used water, flames and thunder from its mouth to prevent the Kunais that’s flying to it one after the another, but eventually, it couldn’t cope with the increasing number of kunais, rather than decreasing, and finally, a kunai pierced its body.

“Kishaaaaaaaaaaa, aaaa, aa……”

After the Sage snake gave a loud scream, purple bubbles blow out of its mouth, and gradually, its tail change to gray ―――― and eventually, it turned into a complete stone statue.

It’s probably dead, but because it didn’t turn into particles of light, Al strikes it with her axe.

“Ora “

Its body was quickly shattered and scattered, and soon it became particles of light.

Then there were some scales, and treasure box that had fallen.

“…… Items were dropped”

“Seriously. Moreover, it’s not just materials …… Olga’s weapon leads to good fortune hah.”

Al picks up the scales and treasure box while being impressed of her.

By the way, the scale was displayed in 『Advanced appraisal』 as.

『Sage Snake Scale』 …… Sage snake’s Scale. It’s highly resistant to magic and is extremely light, making it an excellent armor.

I didn’t think about armor because I already had a robe, but looking at this explanation, it looks like a useful material.

And when I open the treasure box that we care about the most……

“Necklace …… is it.”

It was an elegant necklace with a red gem. I’ll try to appraise it in the same way.

『Sage’s necklace』…… Legendary ornament. Greatly increases magic resistance and magic power. Magic power becomes easier to control, and reduces magic power consumption when using magic.

What a convenient item.

I didn’t think that the item that Luthia was looking for would come out immediately.

Not only me, but also Saria and the others were surprised at its effect.

“…….It’s not on the level of being lucky. How can you get what you want so easily……”

“…… Super lucky?”

Al said that with astonishment, and Olga-chan twisted her head strangely.
