Chapter 57

After having breakfast and seeing Hua off, I found myself at the Arakawa Dungeon.

The E-Rank Dungeon [Arakawa Dungeon].

The reward for clearing the dungeon is a 2-level increase.

I have cleared it twice in the past.

The most common monsters on the way are Wolves, whose combat strength is not much different from that of ordinary wolves.

Any adventurer with a bit of experience can defeat them.

"Like the Shion Dungeon, I didn't expect to have to clear an E-Rank Dungeon again. Well, it's to increase the number of dungeons I've cleared. I'll do my best."

In addition to increasing the number of dungeons I've cleared, I had another goal.

There was a skill I wanted to obtain before going to other dungeons.

"To get that skill, I aim to level up at least 100 times—alright, let's go!"

With that, I began my attempt to clear the Arakawa Dungeon.

The Wolves that appeared on the way were, of course, not much of a challenge, so I occasionally defeated them with a headbutt.

Since defeating these low-level enemies wouldn't increase my level anymore, I didn't need to worry about the effects of the "Unnamed Swordsman" title.

I only took out the unnamed sword from the item box during boss battles and defeated them with a single strike.

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[Dungeon Clear Reward: ………

"This is kind of a hassle."

By the time I had completed 30 laps, I realized that taking the unnamed sword in and out was becoming bothersome.

Perhaps I am a genius for noticing this so quickly.

So, I held the unnamed sword in one hand and defeated approaching monsters with kicks or by poking them with the unnamed sword.

Even the bosses could be defeated with a poke.

My lap completion speed increased dramatically.

As a result, I was able to clear the dungeon on the second day.

[Dungeon Clear Reward: Level increased by 2]

[You have cleared this dungeon the required number of times]

[Bonus Reward: Level increased by 5]

[You will no longer receive rewards for clearing this dungeon in the future]

"That was quick..."

I completed 148 laps in just two days.

Well, the few layers of the dungeon helped.

In any case, I leveled up 2 levels × 148 laps + bonus reward of 5 levels, totaling 301 levels.

...I almost sighed at the thought that the reward for the intense battle against the Orc General was not much different from this.

I regained my composure and assessed my current status.

"My level is now 3357, and my SP is 7010. Yeah, no complaints!"

I opened the status screen and searched for a certain skill in the new skill section.

And I found it.

"There it is... Concealment."

The required SP to obtain it is 5000.

This is clearly a different value from the previous skills.

The only thing this skill, which requires such a large amount of SP, can do is:

—Rewrite status information.

This ability is exactly what I need the most right now.
