47 46.24 layer strategy.txt (1/2)

Going down to the 24th level, the first thing that surprises me is the size of the space.

Up until now, there were only mazes that were worthy of the name of labyrinth, and there were no large spaces outside of the boss room.

However, the 24th level ignored that theory.

There was no such thing as a corridor beyond descending to the 24th level, but rather a wide space like the 10th and 20th layers. However, it was not a space with good visibility. There are many pillars of rock, giving the impression of being in a cave. The most distinctive feature of the site is the lava. The boiling lava flows and creates many rivers.

Even the 23rd layer was unbearable for an ordinary person, but the 24th layer, where the lava flowed, had turned into a murderous temperature.

No, perhaps an ordinary person would not even be able to breathe. It's only because it's me and Rastiala, who have benefited from the levels and whose bodies have been strengthened, that we are able to stand here.

Ki, Christ .......

What: ”What: ......

You can use your sensing magic to find the stairs, right ......?

Yeah, .......

We finished deciding, instantly and in a few words, our course of action on this layer.

We had no objections to each other.

Both I and Rastiara were united in not wanting to stay for too long.

I deployed my magic Dimension over a wide area and searched for the location of the stairs.

However, I used the magic dimension to gather information on a radius of about a kilometer, but I didn't see any stairs within that radius. It looks like we'll have to move around somewhat.

Rastiara, there are no stairs nearby. Let's move a little further in.

Ai......

I take Rastiara, who hasn't even been able to reply, and we proceed through 24 layers.

Rustyala is sweating like a waterfall and we will need to find the stairs as soon as possible.

Speeding up our walk, we continue on, avoiding the lava.

Layer 24 has an extremely low number of monsters.

Fortunately the only thing to watch out for was the lava, so we can proceed without hitting any obstacles.

After advancing about 500 meters from the starting point, I stop to skip the magic Dimension again.

'I'm going to skip the Sensing Magic again.

Ai......

I concentrate on the magic as I pass the water to Rustyala.

Just then, I hear a sound like bubbles popping in boiling water nearby.

The moment me and Rastiara's attention to our surroundings fades - a monster jumps out of the nearby watery lava from within the watery lava, taking advantage of the carelessness.

The monster had the appearance of a lizard. But its size was dozens of times larger than the lizards in my world. With the momentum of the lizard jumping out, the lizard tries to slash the distracted Rustyala with its claws.

''--!

Rastiara dodges the claws as fast as he can.

He uses his amazing reflexes to dodge the lava that splattered as the monster appeared.

The lizard monster that dodged the claws continues to stare at me from a distance, exhaling colored breaths.

I calmly 'gaze' at it and confirm the details of that monster.

[Monster] Poison Salamander: rank 23.

I see the Poison in his name and get it into my head that he is a poisonous danger.

Poison Salamander's breath is the most suspicious, and he tells Rustyala about it.

'Rastiara, there is a possibility that his breath is poisonous--'

Oh, sorry. I've already had quite a bit of it.

Rastiara, who was so close to the Poison Salamander, stood in the breath of the charged enemy. Even though he was able to shrug off the attack, he didn't seem to be able to hold his breath on the spur of the moment.

Checking Rastiara's condition--.

[Status]

State: poison 1.00

It is confirmed that he is being poisoned.

If you look closely, you can see that Rustyala's complexion is pale. The poisoning is on top of being sick from the unusually high temperatures. Even she seems to be in pain.

In order to reduce Rustiala's burden, I slash at Poison Salamander at full speed. However, when Poison Salamander noticed my approach, she immediately jumped into the lava. Of course, I had to leave my poison breath behind.

Once that happens, there's no way for us to attack.

We couldn't even get close to it.

I have no choice but to use my magic Dimension to locate the Poison Salamander. But the magic doesn't penetrate the flowing lava, and I can't get a clear view of his movements.

For now, I hold my mouth down with the edge of my cloak and approach the pale Rastiara.

''d*mn it, I can't capture it if it dives ....... Rastiara, is the poison safe?

Hmmm, my head is a bit dizzy there. Maybe it's because it's hot, but it's even more poisonous: ....... But that's okay. I'll fix it right away with magic: ...... ”Carding Water is an Illusion, the Blood of No Return.” ......

Rastiara casts a spell and tries to cure the poison.

But he doesn't let that happen, and another Poison Salamander pops out of the lava. It was two this time, too.

I take out a spare sword from my 'belongings' to keep the enemy away from Rastiara, and strike them both away.

And then, trying to give a quick chase - but again, the Poison Salamander distances itself from us.

After glaring at us, he exhales and flees into the lava, leaving the poisonous fog behind.

Gradually, the poisonous fog that surrounds me and Rustyala becomes thicker and thicker.

''--[Cure]''

Rustyala finishes casting the spell. But that magic is useless.

Even if he is cured, in this poisonous fog, he will be poisoned again.
