Chapter 8

I'm not sure if it's because I leveled up, but my storage has become more convenient.

Items stored are now displayed on a mysterious board called a tablet. Using this, I can freely take out and put in items from storage. With this, I can see all my items at a glance.

The items currently in my storage are: 13 Dragon Breath, 39 Hellhound Breath, 5 Acid Water, 3 Poison Breath, 99 Elixirs, 12 Hellhound Meat, and weapons and belts obtained from the Minotaur, as well as other weapons I picked up.

I started putting Hellhound Breath into storage as I got used to battle, to conserve Dragon Breath.

I carefully put the Acid Water into storage from the bottom of a trap pit. I gratefully received the Poison Breath from what seemed to be a higher-level Lizardman.

I used Dragon Breath a lot in dangerous situations, so there's not much left. However, I've grown now, and with my weapon and storage skills, I can somehow defeat a Minotaur in a one-on-one fight.

At first, I couldn't even lift the Minotaur's weapon with both hands, but thanks to leveling up, I can now swing it with one hand. Now, the Minotaur Hammer I first obtained is my main weapon.

It seems that the monsters in the dungeon revive after a certain amount of time, so to level up as much as possible, I hunted monsters while using Elixirs, even when I was battered and bruised.

By the way, from the information I've organized in my head, the 49th floor is where the Minotaur is, floors 45 to 48 are where the Hellhounds are, and floors 40 to 44 are where the Lizardmen are.

When I first reached the 39th floor, there were higher-level Trolls. They were probably the floor bosses. Speaking of Trolls, they have a regeneration ability, but I smashed their heads, so I didn't see that ability in action.

After conquering the 39th floor, which has unpleasant memories, I rushed up to the 30th floor.

In this area, the main monsters are Trolls, and occasionally, higher-level Orcs. They're just cannon fodder. I rusted all the monsters I encountered with the Minotaur Hammer.

"Kyaahhh!"

A high-pitched woman's scream was heard. Is she an adventurer?

I had no intention of getting involved, but the room I just entered was the scene of a tragedy.

There were three Trolls, and one of them was about to beat down an adventurer with a club. Since they were normal Trolls, I wasn't worried, so I just smashed their heads one by one. After confirming that the Trolls were no longer moving, I looked around.

There were probably four bodies, smashed and unrecognizable. It's hard to estimate how many victims there were because they were piled up and mangled.

Also, the person who was about to be beaten to death by the Trolls was lying on the ground with their limbs twisted in strange directions. I had no intention of helping, but to gather information, I used an Elixir on that person. They seem to be alive.

"Kyaahhh!"

The person screamed and fainted as soon as they saw me. What a rude person...
