CH 29.4

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"Well. Another magic beast spawned immediately after those three beat the previous one."

"Is there anything weird about that?"

"In my former world, magic beasts inside dungeons take some time to respawn once they've been defeated. Same with Dungeon Golbul. Same with Dungeon Ninae. But this dungeon is different. Proof that dungeons in this world can have differing types and mechanisms."

"You look like you're having so much fun, Lecan-dono."

(Me, having fun?)

(Of course I am.)

Immersing himself in dungeon explorations like this is Lecan's greatest pleasure in life. And he hadn't been inside a decent dungeon for a while, which made this expedition more exciting.

Lecan grinned and laughed.

"We're entering."

"Yes. That's fine and all."

"What's up."

"Please let me fight for once."

"Haven't you been all this time."

"Not at all. I haven't swung my sword even once. Lecan-dono took care all of the magic beasts."

He's right.

"Alright. I won't lift a finger this time around. Suit yourself."

The two went in the room.

A White Spectre holding a halberd stood inside.

Arios didn't go straight to defeating it, he instead observed its reactions while dodging its attacks. Then, he slowly dealt damage on the enemy over time, not to defeat it but to confirm the black armored rind's traits and weaknesses.

Just when Lecan was about to call him out of irritation, Arios swiftly killed the enemy.

"Found out anything?"

"Its overall defensive power was just too weak I couldn't really grasps its weakness. I just know that it didn't slow down much even while suffering damage. That aside, I'm getting hungry."

Right, they haven't had lunch.

Each and every floors in Dungeon Tsubolt are gigantic, just moving around takes a lot of time. It's evening already.

"We'll have a meal in an empty room on the next floor."

Every floors have many people on it. Sitting down on the passageways to have meals could get in the way of other people.

Lecan and Arios went down to floor 8.

By this point, sprinting down the stairways with on is already a routine to them.

"Lecan-dono. Those adventurers walking on the stairs looked really confused."

"No worries. I've got us ed."

"It looks to me won't completely hide our presence if we move around too much."

"That's cause I'm not adept enough at the spell. Just right, I'll take this opportunity to hone in stairways."

"You're putting your effort in the wrong direction. No wait, I guess it's the right direction?"

They got in a vacant room, had meal, defeated floor 8's giant variant and went downstairs.

Both rooms on the floor were occupied once again, but it soon cleared up when they waited in front of a room.

Lecan noticed one thing as he set foot on floor 10 after defeating the giant variant on floor 9.

"Hou. This floor's got two magic beasts in each room."

"Is that so."

There's also two rooms that lead to floor 11 here.

Fortunately, one of them is close by.

The two went straight to the stairway room and defeated the magic beasts there.

"Ordinary adventurers must find it challenging going up against two of these beasts after getting used to dealing with only one."

"Yeah?"

The White Spectres around this floors can be easily beaten with swords or .

Lecan doesn't see how a group of competent enough three or four adventurers can find them hard.

"And besides, they move so much faster than all the Zagg before."

"Yeah?"

"Oh just forget it."

It was late at night already, around midnight.

"Let's go back to the inn, Lecan-dono. I'm tired."

"No. We're staying in the dungeon tonight."

"We can sleep tight if we just get back to
