Chapter 220 - Episode Fifteen - High Elf Sorcerer, Devin (8)

The witch’s tower, we finally arrived at the sixth level of the unprecedented.

The interior of the sixth level was a white stone wall and floor.

The area is lined with stone statues, reminiscent of a temple.

Ooooooooohn, Oooooooohn.

A horrible sound, indistinguishable from the sound of bells or the cries of a monster, echoed irregularly from the back of the passage.

I was keenly reminded that the summit was near at last.

In the midst of wondering where to return to and where to go home, I’ve finally come to this point.

Up to this point, every time you go up a level, the maximum number of monsters that can appear in the level goes up a notch.

At the fourth level, it was C, and at the fifth level, it was B. According to the right way of thinking, A-class monsters should appear here.

By the way, I left the Cyclops behind because he couldn’t pass through the width of the stairway passage.

With a heartfelt look of relief on his face, he waved me off.

I tried to punch through the wall to create a wider passage for the Cyclops to pass through, but Mea stopped me and I decided to give up.

“I wonder if that cyclops is okay ……”

I said that as I grabbed the horn of the cyclops that was given to me as a gift.

When I gestured in vain to ask if I could have the horn just at the end, the cyclops turned a straight face for a moment, then pulled it out of its own head and handed it back to me whole from the root.

I’ll say anything.

It’s head was bleeding a bit, so I used magic to heal it.

This was the moment when a friendship was born between a magic beast and a human.

“………… Horn.”

Mea looks a little uncomfortable as she runs a hand over her head and compares it to the cyclops horn I’m holding.

Mea looks away from my hand with a twitching smile when she notices my gaze.

“Spea-, speaking of which, Abel, how far do you want to climb? We’ve already here to the sixth level ……”

“There are a total of eight levels in Altamir’s tower, after all. Perhaps we should not venture into the eighth floor, where Altamir is likely to be sleeping …… And if we can easily pass this level we should take a look at the seventh floor.”

If the A-class monsters appear at the sixth level, I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll show us at the seventh level.

I’d be happy if they are rare magical beasts with unusual abilities.

A total of six large armors, three on each side of the narrow corridor, shining blue, were displayed.

The crystal-clear shine of the blue color is unlike any other magical metal I’ve ever seen.

The armor is staring inward as if it is watching the passage.

I stopped in my tracks and gulped down.

“Don’t tell me, it’s the phantom copper Orichalcos ……?”

Note: I don’t know if this is Orichalcum or Orichalcos because the romaji word says “Oreikarukosu”, so I just picked Orichalcos.

The phantom copper Orichalcos is a legendary magical metal that appears in numerous ancient documents, and is said to be impossible to recreate with today’s magical technology, with no known method of making it.

It is said that magic tools believed to be made of the phantom copper Orichalcos are rarely found in ruins around the world, but none have been found in the Dinrat Kingdom.

It is said that the true value of the phantom copper Orichalcos lies in the fact that it absorbs magical power and reduces magic to nothing.

It stands at the top of the tens of thousands of different types of magical metals and boasts overwhelming performance.

I’ve been wanting to have one for a long time, but I was almost ready to give up on it, because I couldn’t think of anything more than to somehow intimidate the royalty of another country by going through Lark, but I didn’t expect to find six pieces of armor stored in such a place.

Although we have not yet determined the real copper Orichalcos, the brilliance of this armor seems to be the same as that of the phantom copper Orichalcos I had read about in literature.

As expected indeed to the legendary alchemist, Altamir.

I didn’t know that she even created the phantom copper Orichalcos.

“But how am I going to take it home with me …… For now, I’ll take it home with me on the way back …… but it’s not worth it if I leave it behind and someone else gets it ……!”

“…… She said it’s unprecedented, and I don’t think anyone will be able to get there before we come back.”

“The stalker elf from earlier might come after us.”

“Sta, Stalker Elf……”

I’m not sure if she had any thoughts about my naming, but Mea looked back at me with pity.

Anyway, I must proceed with the analysis of the phantom Copper Orichalcos.

As I approached, the large armor drew his sword from his waist and raised his arms wide, holding it at the ready.

“Tsk…… so it moves.”

Following one of them, the other five begin to pull out their swords.

It seems that this is not just armor, but magic was applied to it.

It could be called an Orichalcos Knight.

I leap backward and pick up the hilt of the Lapides Sword.

I quickly put the magic into it. From the hilt of the Lapides Sword, a blade generated by mixing atmospheric components and magical power extends out.

“Go”

I unleash my Lapides Sword at the Orichalcos Knight.

The Orichalcos Knight tried to block the Lapides Sword with his sword, but at that moment, the Lapides Sword spun around and slipped through the sword, slashing the armor from the shoulder forward.

It was then followed by a slash at the head, then the opposite shoulder, and then a sharp thrust to the chest, piercing the armor and then slashing directly downward to make a large slice.

One of the Orichalcos Knight broke apart and crumbled to the ground.

“‘Oh! That looks pretty solid!”

It took me longer to cut it down than I expected.

If I use that thing as a base, I’ll be able to make a good golem.

The Orichalcos Knight continues to attack me defending with my Lapides Sword, slashing back and sending his upper body flying away.

The Lapides Sword shoots three stabs at the slashed off upper body, breaking the Orichalcos Knight into pieces.

I continue to wave my staff at the Orichalcos Knight.

“Flame, form, ball”

I put a little more magic into it and shot a fireball.

A direct hit to a fragment of the Orichalcos Knight and a pillar of flame rises from the floor.

The Orichalcos Knight fragment transforms within the pillar of the torrential fire and spreads to the floor.

“What, it’s going to melt with just this much. I wish it could have held on a little longer ……”

The Orichalcos Knight, who was behind me, slashes at me, but as a matter of fact, the Lapides Sword slashes the armor and continues to disintegrate the body.

“Turn to dirt”

The stone floor shattered, crumbled, and discolored.

The floor around it is changing to a gray earth.

“Dirt, form, box”

The gray earth forms a box, embracing the melted and crumbling remnants of the Orichalcos Knight.

“Cold Air, blow over”

A breeze of cold air from the tip of the wand enveloped the gray earthen box.

Ten seconds later, the impromptu box collapsed, and from inside emerged the phantom copper Orichalcos, shining blue in the shape of a cube.

Seeing this, the other Orichalcos Knight stopped moving, turned their back to me, and began to flee.

“Don’t let them escape!”

As I point my finger at it, the Lapides Sword flies and slashes the Orichalcos Knight’s leg armor, followed by the dismemberment of its body.

After striking a pillar of fire, it is placed in an earthen coffin and processed into a cube.

In the blink of an eye, the six phantom copper Orichalcos cubes were lined up.

“Now it’s clean.”

“…… Instead of calling it hunting, it’s just plain mining, jeez.”

Mea fearfully poked with his finger at what was a cube-worked Orichalcos.

“Hmm? I’ve been planning on it all along.”
