Chapter 30

After that, I continued to progress smoothly through the dungeon.

Fighting orcs became easy once I got used to it, and I could take on up to five at once without taking any damage.

I eventually reached the fifth floor.

There, finally, a different monster appeared.

A Horn Rabbit. As the name suggests, it was a rabbit-like monster with a horn on its forehead.

One of them appeared right in front of me.

"It's smaller than I thought."

I thought I could easily defeat it, but the next moment—

"Whoa, that was close!"

I blocked the Horn Rabbit's horn, which came at me with terrifying jumping power, with my dagger.

That was quite dangerous. The Horn Rabbit is a monster with exceptional speed, and a moment's lapse in attention could be fatal.

【Horn Rabbit】

- Recommended Level for Defeat: 300

- A rabbit-like monster with a horn on its forehead. Its powerful jumping attacks and strong kicks are formidable. Its meat is said to be delicious.

---

"But, now that I know that!"

"Huh!?"

This monster is far less durable than orcs.

I was able to defeat it with a single strike of my dagger.

I could easily defeat it because it prioritized speed.

A tank or other heavy type would have had a much harder time.

Then, a familiar system sound echoed in my mind.

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

"Oh, a level up. I've only defeated a few dozen so far."

No, that's not it.

It's different from when I had to defeat over a thousand D-rank monsters to level up once.

The monsters here give a lot more experience per kill.

Thank you, thank you.

After that, I continued to progress smoothly through the floors.

I was able to maintain my stamina and concentration better than I had imagined.

I guess my stamina improved because my level went up, and my concentration probably improved because I had been doing dungeon loops for days.

That experience made me much stronger.

Eventually, I reached the 15th floor.

Here, a new monster appeared: the Red Boar.

Despite its massive body, it charges with terrifying speed, making it a fearsome enemy.

---

【Red Boar】

- Recommended Level for Defeat: 350

- A pig-like monster covered in thick fur, entirely red. Its charging attacks, powered by its weight, are powerful. Its fur is so tough that it is used in various types of equipment.

---

However, it only attacks in a straight line, so I just needed to dodge to the side.

Then, I would strike it with my dagger as it passed by.

Midway through, I noticed that the Red Boar's thick skin was not taking much damage.

"In that case, how about this...!"

I took out the stone axe from the orc and swung it with all my might at the Red Boar's head.

The Red Boar suffered a concussion and fell to the ground, so I was able to defeat it with continuous attacks.

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

"Hmm, the Red Boar would sell for a high price, but the problem is its weight..."

The item box has a limit to how much it can hold.

This time, I had to reluctantly give up on collecting the Red Boar.

Even extracting the magic stone would take a lot of time because it is located near the center of the body. It's a definite skip.

After that, I continued to advance through the dungeon with unstoppable momentum.

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

*You have gained experience. Your level has increased.*

--- About five hours after starting the dungeon, after my level had increased by six.

I arrived at the 30th floor, the deepest level.
