Monsters In The Dungeon's Third Floor
Early in the morning, in the cold, clear air of the dungeon's front room, I was munching on a tsukegi-style rice bowl.
Nobunaga Oda, a warlord of the Warring States period, is said to have prepared his meal by eating a bowl of tsukemono before going into battle, but in my case, it was a tsukemono bowl with an egg. Today, I made a TKG with furikake mushrooms and pickled plums as toppings.
Well, I usually don't eat breakfast. Today, I am in high spirits.
I'm doing TKG while standing in the front room of the dungeon. Because my refrigerator turned into a dungeon, I can use the freezer, but not the refrigerator. That is why I keep my food in the front room of the dungeon where it is cooler than my room. So, I went into the refrigerator with a rice bowl and had breakfast in the front room.
"Whew, that's great!"
I ate a TKG with three raw eggs in it in the morning. I have enough energy! No matter what monsters appear, I don't feel like losing at all.
.
"Oh no, I can't do this! Retreat~!"
But when I descended to the third floor, I was attacked by a monster and was forced to retreat immediately and flee.
The monster on the first floor was a slime. This one was troublesome because it emitted acid when I engaged in melee combat, but I could easily defeat it by catching it in a net and throwing it into the chlorine.
The monster on the second floor was a giant cockroach. They are very creepy and unpleasant monsters. They give me the chills and make me scared. If I woke up in the morning and saw them crawling around the room, I was confident that I would scream out loud.
Therefore, I quickly finished mapping the second floor and descended to the third floor, but the monster on the third floor was also very creepy and nasty.
"""Gee! Gitchi! Gitchitchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"""
(Damn, they'll catch up with me if I don't do something!)
The monster that is persistently chasing me.
It's a rat, a swarm of rats! When one of them squealed, they gathered in a flash. Their skin was ugly and covered with warts and bumps. Its eyes were cloudy white, and no matter how I looked at it, it looked like a bad case of the black plague.
A sick rat, bigger than a cat, was chasing after me, its skinny, knobby body bouncing.
"Acid fog!"
I made a defensive formation that was good to have put up. Sliding into a gap at the edge of the bird netting, I released an acid fog with all the force I could muster behind me.
""""Gitchew!!!!!!!"""
The sick rats had been approaching me from the front of the net and jumped up as if they got hit by an electric shock and fell, writhing in agony. And not a single one of them could even stand up. They were convulsing.
(Huh! Huh! Huh!)
Yeah, that would be unbearable if I was exposed to acid fog with such a bad skin condition. As I looked down at the sick rats lying on the ground in the acid mist, I suddenly heard small footsteps approaching behind me.
"Gichichi!"
"Huh!"
I jumped as fast as I could at the unpleasant feeling and the sick rat that had attacked me from behind flew right by my face.
"Dang, that was close! When did you go around? Acid bullet acid shot!"
"Gitchu!"
The sick rat, caught in the form of a limb jumping on the net, was hit by the acid shot before it regained its posture, and fell to the floor while melting. And the swarm of sick rats engulfed in the acid mist also died, suffering for a long time.
(Mmmm, even though they are monsters, it's too much work to make them suffer for so long. So I'll think of something.)
To prevent additional attacks, I deployed a thin acid fog toward the back of the dungeon, collected the drop of sick rats and the defensive positions I had set up, and withdrew from the third floor.
I then returned to the front room of the dungeon to think of countermeasures.
"Mmmm I'm in trouble."
I crossed my arms and pondered without unequipping myself. The monster in the third basement level was a rat. It was sick. And I had no defense against it.
"I still have a little bit of the medicine I got when I went to the hospital for a cold. I still have some left, but I wonder if it was an antibiotic?"
However, it's the kind of illness the monsters in the dungeon were suffering. It's doubtful that the medicine from my world will even work.
"Let's just check the levels and drops for now."
Current Previous
Level 19 17
Race: Human
Strength: 60 50
Stamina: 66 57
Knowledge: 64 58
Mental Strength: 78 66
Agility: 75 (+5) 57
Luck: 3 3
Dexterity: 65 48
Hmmm, up two levels. There were 5 to 60 sick rats in the swarm, and I was able to round them up, so the attack with the [Acid] skill was very effective against the rats.
My ability values, mental strength, and agility seemed to be one above the rest. My high increase in values was maybe because of the stress of being chased by a swarm of sick rats, which strained my mentality.
"What? Wait a minute. My agility has gone up by 18!"
A closer look reveals that his agility is not +8, but +18. One possible reason is that I evaded a sick rat that attacked me from behind by jumping fast and repeatedly. Is there a critical increase in ability value?
"Hmmm, But that doesn't mean I can do it every time."
If I fail and I get bitten, it'll infect me with an unknown disease.
"Oh, by the way, I got two skill orbs. What kind of skills are these? Poison? Disease Resistance?"
I put them on my hands and try to feel the power of the skill orbs. It seems to be something related to poison or disease, but I can't feel the details anymore. I can't feel the details anymore.
["Kyuwawaa~pah~!]
["Kyuwawaa~pah~!"]]
Skills.
[Acid 2], [Agility 5], [Disease Resistance 2]
The skill the sick rat had was [Disease Resistance]. What does that mean? They were sick, though. The other drop was a yellowed rat's front teeth, so I didn't want to touch them and only collected skill orbs and magic stones.
"Mmmm the only thing I can think of is that the disease the rat is afflicted with is more powerful than the disease resistance, so it's still sick Or it could be that the skill [Disease Resistance] is a skill that allows you to move without worrying about getting sick."
Whatever it is, I can't figure it out without doing a little more research.
I've seen a lot of talk about skills on the internet. So, until I have more solid information, it might be better to avoid going down to the third floor.
