Episode 42.4 (2/2)
As he was paying, one of the adventurers that happened to be present muttered, 'Isn't that Bat Demon Lecan', thus he quickly left the place.
Afterward, they bought Julius's chest protector and helm and went to the dungeon's entrance.
As they waited in line, one of the sentry walked up to them and let them pass through ahead. The policy to prioritize <Willard> without inspection is still active it seems.
”Magic beasts don't spawn in this dungeon's passages. They're only found in the rooms. There's only one type of magic beast here. An Apparition-type magic beast, specter kin, White Specters. Only one spawn in each room on this floor. Eda.”
”Un.”
”I'm told
works wonder on White Specters.”
”Un.”
”Try fighting by yourself in the first room.”
”I got it.”
The three went in a nearby room. There stood one White Specter. Eda held out her thin wand and recited a spell.
”
!”
A blue ball of light was generated at the tip of her wand.
”Huh? Ah, oh right.”
Eda erased the light ball at her wand's tip, switched the wand to her left hand as she pointed her right index finger at the magic beast.
”
!”
A blue ball of light was generated and got shot out toward the magic beast at high speed, then it hit and went inside the magic's beast body.
The magic beast's body turned hazy before vanishing entirely.
”I did it!”
”Yep. Well done.”
Then they went to the giant variant's room.
”Julius. Your turn to fight.”
”Yes, master.”
”Julius-kun, so cute.”
”You best lop off their head if you fight with a sword.”
”Yes, I understand.”
Julius defeated the magic beast in a single stroke of his sword with his graceful swordsmanship.
Afterward, Lecan taught Julius how to fetch the magic stone.
Then it's stairway time.
”Alright. We're running.”
”Eh? Okay.”
”I understand, master.”
The three ran down the stairs. They met several other adventurers along the way, and instead jumping over their heads, they slowed down their and passed by them.
They didn't run on the second floor's passages. Not like they're in any hurry. They can't got that deep anyway.
They went straight into the giant variant's room on the second floor, with Eda fighting.
They walked but at a fast pace in the stairway. Passing through several adventurers along the way.
They also headed straight for the giant variant's room on the third floor, with Julius fighting this time.
(Fumu.)
(These sluggish White Specters on these floors ain't no match to Julius.)
”Fumu. Eda will deal with the magic beasts on the next few floors.”
”Got it.”
They got to floor 9 that day. The travel there takes the most time. They had to wait their turns at two stairway rooms too. They're camping in a vacant room. Lecan had stocked up a heap of firewood yesterday.
Even dried jerky taste good when you roast them over a camp fire. The soup warmed up their bodies.
