[You've reached level 4. Various upper limits have been raised]
"With this is the upper limit is 40, huh... I'm worried about my skill being a little over level 10, so let's raise their levels just in case."
I manipulate multiple ball-type magics of various elements, knead the mana and raised their skills levels. It's a skill level increase method that can be done because you know beforehand what you can do after your skill level increases.
"Huh? They are bloody... And they wete such a close place. Were they in an human habitation area?... Probably, I'm sure. They were having fun until just now?"
Despite their pathetic appearance, they were originally a high-level and brutal monsters. Upon recognizing me with the least amount of confusion, the two immediately extended their arms.
Once they caught a prey, they enjoy watching the struggling prey while ripping off Its limbs one by one.
"[Magic Sword] [Wind Blast]."
With the effect of the exclusive magic [Magic Sword] of the high-rank occupation "Magic Swordsman", I clad wind magic in the sword. It's something that can be learned with wind magic skill 5, and it's a simple magic that envelops a weapon with magic.
Using it, I cut off the 10 fingers that attacked from both sides.
"... Until now, you've been doing whatever you want with humans, haven't you? It's time for punishment. To improve my skills, become my punching bag."
"[Zex Lance!]"
This is a special magic that can be used when the skill value of 6 types of magic, excluding sacred and dark, exceeds 15. A total of 6 spears appeared in the air and attacked one of the Terror Kong true to my aim.
It can be used from level 3 onwards, but Its exclusive magic book is very rare and is impossible to learn in the early stages, so it was a relatively unpopular magic in the game.
It consumes about 3 times the original MP, but the power is increased accordingly, so it's a magic with excellent cost performance, and I love to use it because it's beautiful and cute.
And since it manipulates 6 attributes, it's an excellent magic that has 6 skill increase judgments.
In the same way, when I gave it as a gift to the other Terror Kong, they both became particles.
If the battle isn't completely over, even if the monster is dead, it won't turn into particles and will remain where it is, which is a troublesome point. If their original shape remains, the current me don't have a way to confirm if it's really dead or just pretending.
"I also want a magic tool that allows me to see the remaining HP… Right now, I can’t see my own HP or MP.…… Once I enter the academy, creating one will be an urgent task."
I open the treasure chest as usual. 2 sets of hands, 2 right ears, 2 huge furs, and 2 hearts. And 2 magic stones. A great loot, isn't right.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Name: Fire Magic Stone (Medium)
Description: A magic stone that dwells in fire-attribute monsters. It can be used semi-permanently by replenishing Its fire attribute mana. Also, when crushed, it becomes several "fire magic stones (small)" and "magic stone scraps".
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Name: Wind magic stone (medium)
Description: A magic stone that dwells in wind-attribute monsters. It can be used semi-permanently by replenishing Its wind attribute mana. Also, when crushed, it becomes several "Wind Magic Stones (Small)" and "Magic Stone Scraps".
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
[You've reached level 5. Various upper limits have been raised. You acquired an occupational ability]
"Ah, I see. You'll learn them at level 5. Well, let's check it after we're all done.... Well, who's going to have the honour of being my final opponent?"
After passing through the final door, the inorganic voice sounded.
[Searching a monster that satisfies the conditions……Hit. The target monster was found out within a radius of 150 km. Moving on to the summoning sequence]
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Name: Gray-Colored Calamity Drake
Level: 56
Description: 3 meters tall and 12 meters long. Its body creates miasma, it envelops itself in deadly poison, and when it spreads its wings it spread plagues. It is said that once it exhale Its breath, the land will become a wasteland uninhabitable for life. It is said to live in the depths of the demon world.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
"Uwaa, the boss from the end of the story has arrived. Considering the distance, it was not in the place that the player fights it in the original story. I don't know where it was, but its level is 10 lower than it should be. Well, anything is fine! Being able to defeat this guy before he wrecks the surrounding countries into a mess is huge accomplishment!"
"GYAAAAOOOA!!!"
[Abnormal state 'panic' resist]
[Abnormal state 'paralysis' resist]
[Abnormal state 'despair' resist]
With just that roar. It gave three troublesome debuff judgments, "panic, paralysis, and despair".
However, due my high status, all then were resisted.
"To break through the first and last difficulty point! Even more, did I completely resisted it? That's crazy. What's going on with our status difference, really?"
In this world, there are roughly three types of beings that can be called dragons.
First, as the lower class dragon is the drake(竜). as the high class dragon is the dragon(龍), and as the highest class dragon the ancient dragon(古代龍). *¹
Dragons and ancient dragons can use their wings to fly, but drakes, even if they have wings, cannot fly.
They crawl on the ground, and almost resembles a lizard.
However, even if it is rotten, it still bears the name of a dragon, It has tremendous physical strength, has scales harder than steel, is resistant to all magic other than its weaknesses attribute, and is good at self-strengthening with its own vast mana.
In addition, depending on their color, the attributes it has are determined, and depending on the individual's level, the techniques it can use will change greatly, and the way that the player have to respond to them will vary greatly, making it a very troublesome opponent.
But how sad. The mid-boss that appears in the first scenario in a MMO sometimes appears as a mob enemy in later stages. Furthermore, by implementing meta-corresponding magic, it may even be weakened to the point of pity.
This drake is one of them. His attribute is dark. Its weaknesses attribute is sacred, which is the exact opposite of dark.
My sacred magic is still at level 0 because I haven't raised it, but that magic is a so effective natural enemy to the extent that even being at level 0 isn't a problem. And MND and CHR are the statuses that are the multipliers of the sacred magic damage.
There are no elements that I could lose here.
"Your opponent was really bad this time....[Purification]!"
The magic [Purification] effects are that only removes dirt and makes things clean. The required skill level is the surprising high 50. When it was first implemented, It was only recognized as "cleaning magic (lol)" and it was considered a joke magic.
However, when it became known that it was a brutal magic to the level that It could erase the existence of undead and monsters with dark attributes, the evaluation was reversed. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the reputation of the undeads, who had been perceived as troublesome and tough opponents until now, fell to the ground with just this magic. Or rather they were returned to earth.
In a sense, it was an official cheat magic.
After that, the undead that [purification] didn't work on appeared, and the cat-and-mouse game that continued is a classic part of an online game.
Currently, because my skill level value is still 0, it's just an imitation magic, but it's forcefully effective due my high status.
Visibly the toxins around the drake disappeared, and the miasma surrounding it faded. The drake tried to clad the dark attribute on its body as if resisting the effects of the [purification], but it had no effect.
It still would have been better to counterattack me and hinder the my usage of the magic. ...Well, I could just avoided it.
A powerful boss called a dragon, with high HP due to its high level, Its weaknesses attribute, the forced [purification] by my high status, the incomplete magic that is close to the real thing because I already learned it in the past, and my mana that seems to overflows without ending.
Those elements are intertwined, and the skill level value growed with a tremendous momentum. And before the drake was completely purified, the skill value had reached the skill cap of 50.
"This is the final shot. [Sacred Lance!]"
I made a spear with light attribute skill level 15 magic and purposely picking it up with my hands, I threw it.
Combined with my high DEX, it stabs deeply between the drake's eyebrows. And the drake was extinguished leaving only a death scream behind.
And after that, a treasure chest with a size that cannot be compared to the ones before appeared.
"Ah~, it felt good! Besides, the me who is emitting a torrent of light, Isn't that me an angel? Isn't that too cute!?"
I took out the mirror and tried to enjoy it, but what I saw was the level 1 leather equipment that seemed to give out a negative divine correction.
"... If I knew that it's going to end up like this, it was still better to wear a baby doll and fight.... No, on the contrary, it's erotic cute + sacred atmosphere. Far from better, it's totally a turn on!? There is also the possibility that my cuteness would exceeded the limit... Aaah what I have done! I demand another try!"
[Picon!]
When I was lamenting the unreasonableness of the world, a count number of 60 appeared from the treasure box in front of me. This means the time to the disappearance of the treasure chest.
"... Oh no!"
I didn't meant to be lamenting for a long time, but it seems that was not the case.
Even though I wasted a few seconds by stopping my thoughts, I hurriedly opened the treasure chest. And hastily stuffed Its contents into the magic bag. The quantity was just so great that the treasure chest disappeared like smoke the moment I finished stuffing it, and the door meaning the end of the dungeon appeared in front of me.
"B-Barely safe... Huh, in the previous world, Misha also used to scold me a lot. For taking too long or something like that... After all, I'm lonely being alone. When the things calm down, I think I'll have to find some friends..."
[You've reached level 6. Various upper limits have been raised. Occurred an excess of experience. You've reached level 7. Various upper limits have been raised. Occurred an excess of experience. You've reached level 8. Various upper limits have been raised.]
Although I felt a little depressed, I became surprised by the sudden announcements.
"I see, unlike the others, dragons are super-large type monsters. So their amount of experience points is not normal. There's probably a solo subjugation bonus in addition to the super-large subjugation bonus, so it went up at once."
I regained my composure and reached the goal. And there are three treasure chests lined up as clear rewards, and the corresponding letters were floating above them.
[Weapon]
[Armor]
[Item]
[Please choose one of these]
If you choose one of these rewards, the other two disappear. However, unlike the Tamatebako*², there are no set losses.
All the contents are properly prepared for the users needs based on the total fighting power of the player.
The treasure chest that I will open was decided before challenging this dungeon.
What I want now is neither a status-appropriate item nor a weapon. It's high performance armor. High-performance armor generally have a high-performance looks, so it's generally cute! In other words, I want a cute dress!
"It's erotic-cute, but I don't want wear leather equipment anymore! It suits me, but it's not about that! I want to wear fashionable clothes!!"
Feeling like a spoiled child, I vigorously open the armor treasure chest.
And the contents were…….
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Name: White Maiden
Occupations that can be equipped: Elementalist, Great Sage, Grandmaster
Required status: MND 1800 or higher, CHR 1800 or higher
Description: A legendary costume that can only be worn by those who are recognized by the spirits. Uses the wearer's magical power to form a barrier against various attacks. Enhances the effect of various attribute magic.
Effect: +3% correction to all stats of the wearer.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
"...Huh?"
"White Maiden" was my favorite costume that I wore until just before my death. And now is in front of my face.
It was because of too much of shock, or is it happiness? I became speechless for a while.
I gently pick it up from the treasure chest and hugged it. I felt like I had regained my precious half.
"... I'm happy. I remember the first time I wore this equipment... Even so, the required status should be at about the max level, but I wonder if the conditions were met?"
"Status check"
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Total Combat Power: 10884 (+1600)
STR: 1322
DEX: 1322
VIT: 1322
AGI: 1322
INT: 1322
MND: 2133 (+800)
CHR: 2141 (+800)
Title: Seeker
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
"Ah, yep… It was surpassed them with ease. Even so, it’s over 10,000 huh. Speaking of total combat power alone, it’s equivalent to a high-end vanguard occupation level 100."
Well, in reality, MND and CHR, which are difficult to count in terms of power, are being counted for the majority of my status, so it's not true to say we are equally strong.
Besides, even though the skill value grows twice as much as it should, even if you raise it to the maximum value, it's just equivalent to a level 16.
It's just a monstrous status, but the rest are still lacking.
"Well then, the level up part of the preparations are done. So shall we go? Thank you, low-level exclusive dungeon, It was fun!"
I boarded the magic circle that had appeared before I knew it and escaped from the dungeon.
[As expected, that outfit suits me the most.]
*¹Translator Note: The kanji of dragon can be written as (竜) the western dragon or as (龍) the asian/chinese dragon(also known as loong), while normally both of these kanji can be used to refer to dragons in general, if the speaker is referring to the body shape, (竜) is used to the lizard-like dragon and (龍) is used to the snake-like dragon.
This time, as the author put them in a vertical hierarchy indicating a possible evolutionary route, I translated the lower/inferior/lesser dragons (竜) as drakes in general, and (龍) as high/true dragons.
Depending on what types of dragons and their nomenclature will appear in the future these translations can change.
And in cause of confusion (because there will be) all them can be called dragons(ドラゴン) the japanese written form of the english word 'dragon' at any time. So please pay attention to the context.
*²Translator Note: Tamatebako is an magical chest\box that appers in the japanese classic Urashima Tarō, and It's said to the protagonist that it will protect him from harm and to never open it, but he ends opening the box causing him to became an old man.
