Episode 30.5 (1/2)
They got in two normal rooms before challenging the boss room. No Grace Gear, but a short sword with high offensive power and extreme sharpness got dropped.
On floor 87 they took on two normal rooms before taking a meal break and then another two before going in the boss room. A dagger with <Curse Resist (Large)>, and
got dropped. Arios wanted the dagger so it became his.
On the 26th the day after, they took on two normal rooms, had a meal and then one other normal room before conquering the boss room. On floor 89, they went for the boss room after beating three normal rooms.
They got a <Speed Boost (Large)> and
long sword that day. The rest was all potions which got passed over to Arios.
As they sat on the ground after beating the boss, Arios talked to Lecan.
”Let's piece together all the information we have gotten so far.”
”Hou.”
”First of all, this Dungeon is a Unique Type dungeon where only Unique type White Spectres spawn. There are two Unique types, the so-called <Red Body> and <Black Body>.”
”Yeah.”
”<Red Body> attacks by casting magic, but they can also carry swords or spears with them, attacking them with your own sword on upper floors will make them retaliate with their weapons. However, they stop retaliating with weapons on <Middle Layer> down, so you can no longer employ the tactic of luring them in close quarter combat to seal their magic.”
”Right it was.”
”This indicates that the ways these White Spectres fight can change depending on floors.”
”Really.”
”Oh and their body get dyed pale red when they're casting magic. This is probably the origin of <Red Body> name.”
”Who cares.”
”<Red Body> shoots out magic after growling once. If even one <Red Body> managed to growl and shot out magic, the rest of <Red Body> can immediately shoot their magic as well. The individual that growled will always be the one that initiates the first strike, which is handy for predicting their attack pattern.”
”Right.”
”The heat ray-like offensive magic can have different colors, from bluish white, pale red, to yellow, but each color does not have any specific trait. However, the bluish white one boasts high firepower in comparison to the other colors.”
”Yea, that's right.”
”The growls start faster and finish faster the deeper you go down, by floor 80s, they will start growling the instance you get in a room.”
”What about it.”
”These growls change with floors, becoming tougher as we go on.”
”Yeah well I can tell that much.”
”Which means they might not even need to growl eventually.”
”What.”
”Lecan-dono.”

”What?”
”We cannot peek inside a room where magic beasts lurk. However, Lecan-dono can detect locations of hostiles.”
”Yea.”
”But what about the magic beasts side then.”
”What'd you say?”
”Those magic beasts might also possess some ways to detect enemies entering the room themselves.”
”Something like that. Wait.”
Lecan never even considered that. However, he cannot say that the possibility is completely nil.
”They may start growling before we get in and immediately shoot magic the moment we're inside. Or perhaps they may not even growl and just shoot right off the bat.”
