Episode 30.19 (1/2)
”Were you aware of this <Depth> thing?”
”I was. But I was under the assumption that those values signify ranks, or rather, grades of dungeon items.”
”Fumu.”
”What are you so worked up about Lecan-dono?”
”I am not worked up.”
”Then what are you worried about?”
”I am not worried.”
”Hmmm.”
”We're heading for floor 90.”
”Aren't we taking a break today?”
”We had enough break yesterday.”
They had a cooperative diving with <Grindam> yesterday. As they had been fighting ten magic beasts with just two of them prior to that, having three additional members drastically reduced their load.
And yet they're heading for floor 90 today. Ten magic beasts spawn on floor 90s. Arios's complaint is justified.
Yet when they actually fought on floor 90, they managed to easily defeat ten beasts with no sweat. Even got a Grace Sword.
”Hmn. There's really quite a huge gulf between ordinary and giant variants, isn't there?”
”That too, but it must be mostly cause we got down to floor 94.”
”That is one truly terrifying aspect of dungeons. Further, that sword is also quite an article, isn't it Lecan-dono.”
”I ain't giving.”
That sword refers to <Sword of Odo>. Lecan used <Sword of Rusk> the last time they fought floor 90's giant variants. And now Lecan is using it, fully aware of the risk of it breaking.
Lecan realized the sword holds a unique value in this world during his conversation with the elderly appraiser earlier. He came to the conclusion that using it in public eye would be a bad move.
But his mind settled down once he started fighting in the dungeon.
Thinking again the three Graces this sword's got, <Sharpness Boost>,
, and <Weight Boost> are Graces that are also present in this world's swords. Having all three at once may be unusual, but the sword itself isn't that tremendously powerful or anything.
In other word, nobody should think the sword as anomalous even if they saw it in use.
Even if someone managed to <Appraise> the sword, it would only come out as a Grace Gear, with no further details. And even if they somehow found out more, there's no way to tell that its Graces were added later by an enchanter.
With that in mind, Lecan no longer hesitates wielding <Sword of Odo>.
He also realized one other thing. In regards to <Sword of Agost>.
During the fight in Dungeon Ninae, Lecan unleashed the full power of <Guardian Jewel of Zana> and hit the Queen Spider with all his might.
Yet <Sword of Agost> remained unbroken. Not even a dent. Even though there was enough power to easily break any ordinary sword behind the strike.
<Sword of Agost>'s solidity is abnormally high.
He should have realized that sooner.
By the way, Lecan had tried to <Appraise> several swords in his possession, but not once he managed to read <Depth>. That elderly said something about requiring high level <Appraise> to read it. The Lecan right now cannot read <Depth>.
”Alright. Let's move on to the next room.”

”Yes. Just, come at me with anything.”
They conquered ten rooms by the end of the day. Exploring is nice and easy when you don't have to go far. They got four Grace Gear. Three Graceless weapons. They also got some Bluish Purple Potions and Reddish Purple Potions.
On the next day, the 32nd, they got to floor 96 with <Grindam>. Got three Grace Gear, sold for nine big gold coins. Lecan couldn't catch a sight of that elderly appraiser Termi when he surveyed the trade facility.
They did another cooperative diving on the 33rd. They fought twice in ordinary rooms before challenging the giant variants, reaching floor 97.
The 34th was a rest day, thus Lecan went around 15 normal variant rooms on floor 90s with Arios. It was a potion-ful day. Also got one Grace sword.
