Episode 39.6 (1/2)
It took them five days starting the following day to conquer floor 149. A <Myriad Dragon Slayer (Alzamuscyll)> got dropped here. This became Lecan's. Arios looked really envious.
Afterward they had a two day break before resuming the dungeon exploration.
(Floor 150 starting today huh.)
Lecan has reached the limit of his mental and physical strength. He's forcing himself to keep advancing through sheer willpower now.
(If it turns out there's still more floors after 150.)
(I'll take a long-ish break.)
(Going back to Vouka once might be good too.)
Lecan took a step into the corridor as he was thinking that.
However, it was no corridor.
In that moment, the alarm bell inside Lecan's mind rang the highest alert level aloud.
Lecan's mind and body immediately switched gear to combat ready state.
Straining up all of his slightly dulled senses.
(This is.)
(An inner passage!)
(There's no corridor on floor 150.)
(It's connected straight to an inner passage.)
(Meaning.)
(This is the boss floor!)
It's finally time for the final battle. Lecan who had grown weary from the unending exploration is now filled with vigor, an expression of joy shows up on his face.
He detected one magic beast inside the room. It must be this dungeon's boss.
(Dunno what kind of monster is waiting.)
(With this equipment and Arios's aid.)
(There's nothing to be afraid of.)
Yet, that Arios would not show himself up.
Lecan kept waiting, but he wouldn't come in.
(It can't be!)
Lecan tried go back to the stairway from the inner passage, but of course he couldn't.
Arios is undoubtedly there, on the other side of this inner passage. Yet he's not coming.
Which means, he cannot enter.
(Only one person is allowed to fight this dungeon's boss!)
No one could have imagined that such a grand dungeon like this has a one-person restriction on the very last floor. But he can't get out of this spot if he doesn't fight, there's only one choice. To fight on his own.
(Fine.)
(I will kill you.)
(With my all.)
After checking his equipment, Lecan grabbed his wand with his left hand, kneaded his mana and took a step inside.
<3D Perceptions> show that the only stairway in this room is at the entrance. This place is indeed the final floor of this dungeon.
One <Armored White Spectre> stands still in the center of the room.
White protective bones completely cover its whole body, as if it's wearing a full body white armor. The crimson veins running on its white armor look eerily ominous. The cavities where its eyes should be are colored red like blood.
”<Barrier>!”
Lecan put up an anti-physical barrier and took ten steps forward.
(This guy's got no weapon.)
(Is it gonna fight bare handed?)
”<Flame Spear>.”
