Chapter 027: Full of cheat equipments (In Luciel’s eyes.)
Translator: Tseirp
The next day after the mini uproar in the Adventurer’s Guild, under tremendous cheers from the large scale expedition ceremony, the Valkyrie Paladin Corps began their journey.
I was surprised by the enthusiasm shown on the faces of everyone from the Valkyrie Paladin Corps, but within the cheers I heard things like “Looks like it is Zombie-sama”, “Looks like it is Masochist-sama”, and “Looks like it is Deviant Saint-sama”. Everyone stared at me from horseback with bold smiles as they left on the journey from the Holy City Schull.
“Even though I went to such lengths to tell them to stop using those nicknames. Oh well there’s nothing I can do.”
After sending them out of the Holy City, I went to the labyrinth after multiple meals.
Katria-san was already at the counter reading a book.
“Ah, Luciel-kun, good morning. You are late today.”
“Yeah. I went to send everyone from the Valkyrie Paladin Corps off as I had been in their care lately.”
“Ah~. So you’ll be going into the labyrinth from today? Will you be returning at around the same time as usual?”
“No, I intend to dive in for a little longer. Because it seems like I am not that well regarded by the people around here.”
“I can’t allow you to do something so dangerous.”
“Even though you say that but I only return to go back to my room to sleep anyway, my meals are also packed within this magic bag so you don’t need to worry?”
“That is not the problem.”
“I’ll be fine. In the boss rooms once I defeated all the monsters as long as I don’t open the door monsters can’t come in.”
“You will die if you get complacent.”
“Yeah. I have somehow earned some resentment due to me getting on friendly terms with the Valkyrie Paladin Corps so I wanted to disappear into the Labyrinth.”
“Ha~. If that’s the case then please return here once every week. The items you blackmailed from the Pope would have arrived here by that time as well.”
“Understood.”
“Don’t die okay.”
“Yeah. My motto is to not die and survive. I’m off then.”
“Take care and be careful.”
“Yes. I’m off.”
Like that I stepped into the labyrinth.
After chanting 「Aura Coat」, I ran through the first floor and destroyed the monsters.
After defeating them, I collected the magic stones into my magic bag by stepping on them and descended down the stairs.
I looked at the map and memorized the paths before steadily advancing and defeating monsters. By the time I reached the 10th floor boss room my stomach clock rang.
“Somehow I feel like I have amazing stamina.”
I purified the boss room and spread out the bento. After finishing my meal, I drank that stored inside my magic bag, rested for a while and then advanced in a similar method until the 20th floor.”
“Sei, Teiaaaaaa, Eh!? Shit!” 【By the hand of holy healing, return the unclean existence to its original path. Purification]
Using a shortened chant, the MP consumption was larger than usual but I successfully defeated the Specter Knight.
“Fu~. My stomach feels empty so it should be around dinner time. Somehow, to have warm meals within the labyrinth keeps the heart at ease.”
I made a well balanced meal (or intended to) from the food bought from various places.
Following that, I drank Object X and fought with Specter Knight-sensei multiple times, purified the boss room with purification magic, applied Aura Coat and slept with a barrel of Object X placed nearby. (TL: Lol he is using the barrel of Object X like it is insect repellent)
“That’s a ceiling that I don’t recognize. Wait it’s the labyrinth. I don’t know how but I slept like a dead log in such a place, not to mention on such a hard floor.”
While murmuring that, I confirmed that the surroundings did not have any monsters and hence didn’t feel bad.
“Maybe because I applied purification magic to the place. Okay. After eating my breakfast and doing some combat I’ll go investigate the 21st floor.”
In that manner I ate my meal and only fought with Specter Knight-sensei once before starting my exploration.
“Even though it’s already frightening enough with the ghouls, to think that there are even mummies.”
I could still defeat them with just one strike from purification magic. As I lamented the lack of combat potential, I desperately investigated the floor that had expanded in size on an empty stomach before finally finishing my map on a slightly raised area.
“It’s about time I return.”
I returned using the shortest distance, right before the stairs I took out Object X and verified its effectiveness on the monsters chasing after me.
” … Truly just what is Object X.”
The undead monsters maintained a certain distance and totally did not approach me.
