Chapter 26
From now, If I have Saiga, I don't need anything else.
Saiga, on her debut in the actual battle, has shown such a big success that it makes me think so.
Although the range is short, and even if the aim is slightly off, as expected, a shotgun is an ideal weapon for hunting.
Thanks to that, I was able to proceed smoothly. And now I have arrived on the 28th floor. This dungeon has 8 gimmick floors where wind magic is absolutely necessary to breakthrough.
This floor covers 10 floating islets. But to reach the next floating islet, it is necessary to use wind magic to hit a target as small as an apple on that floating islet.
Then you will be transferred to that islet.
You can reach the next floor by going around these floating islets in the correct order.
By the way, if you make a mistake in the order, you will either get teleported to the entrance of this floor or you will fall head-on. (TL:- I think at the end the floor judges if the order is correct or not)
It was also famous as a shitty dungeon in the game. In fact, it would be quite difficult to break through here without the Wiki.
By the way, if you fell, it would be game over immediately. So if I fell, my life would be game over.
With that in mind, I carefully cross the islets. All the attacking monsters are shot down with Saiga, but, sadly, the defeated monsters fall as they are.
Like that, I reached the 5th floating islet. There is actually a hidden gimmick here.
On the north side of this islet, there is an entrance to the inside of the island. (TL:- by inside it means underground)
This entrance is quite annoying. It gets smaller with each islet you cross over, i.e. the more islets you cross over the smaller the entrance gets. While cursing the evil intentions of the production team, I felt nostalgic over the memories of my previous life.
Now, Normally the plan is to prepare a rope with a hook and go down the side of the floating islet along the cliff. But I have the costly cheat skill?Alchemy?.
With the help of?Alchemy?skill if I make stairs to go down, then there will be no danger. Of course, if you could pay for it. It's also possible in-game.
I easily invade the inside of the islet in this way. The interior was a straight passage, with a place that looks like a small altar.
And on the altar that I arrived at, a pair of ?Substitute ring? was enshrined.
In the game, there was a scene where the targeted capture character puts the ?Substitute ring? on the heroine Amy's finger and says 'Next time, I want to give the real one'. Event stills were also prepared for each targeted capture character. So it was quite a famous event.
This event comes after the villain daughter condemnation event. So, I don't care what happens to the event.
Since my safety is the priority, I thankfully took both of the ?Substitute ring?. (TL:- don't want to spoil much, but, in a sense, the rings did fulfil their event purpose.)
After putting one of them on the middle finger of my left hand, I hurried back.
With this, I got the insurance for the worst.
????
Finally, I reached the front of the boss room.
Inside is Blizzard Phoenix, a dangerous monster that you would never want to face outside.
I check the condition of the guns and change Saiga's bullets to slug bullets. Slug bullets are also called bear-killers. Although their range is not good, their power is enormous if they are shot from a short distance.
In addition, this time, I also made a polycarbonate shield to block the attacks from reaching.
Now, all preparations are done!
So I barge into the boss room.
The boss room is a vast dome-shaped room with a radius of about 100 meters. And the Blizzard Phoenix clad in ice was waiting, giving off a divine aura.
"Kyeeeeeeee!"
The moment the door opened, The Blizzard Phoenix, out of the blue, shot a snowstorm towards me, or rather, at the door I was invading from.
I'm hiding as usual with my?Concealment?skill. But for the time being, let's expect a surprise attack when the door opens. That seems to be Blizzard Phoenix's way.
While passing through the snowstorm with the shield, I hurriedly moved outside the path of the snowstorm.
Immediately after that, the Blizzard Phoenix shot an ice arrow at the place where I was.
Meanwhile, I secretly approach the Blizzard Phoenix and hit it with Saiga's bullets.
Doon, Doon, Doon, Doon
I shot four times, but after getting hit once, It noticed me and distanced itself.
However, there was a reaction. Blue blood is dripping from the Blizzard Phoenix's body.
And to my surprise, the blood drops that had spilt on the floor were already frozen.
I activate the Golden Combo of the?Concealment?skill from the smokescreen.
But the Blizzard Phoenix immediately slammed me with a snowstorm.
I use the shield to prevent direct hits and move out of the path.
But, the Blizzard Phoenix shoots ice arrows one after another at me, who escaped from the snowstorm.
It seems that I got hit by the snowstorm before hiding properly with the?Concealment?skill.
I tried running to the side to avoid it, but I couldn't avoid it. So, I immediately put the shield forward and took the ice arrow head-on.
Gagagagagagagaga
When the ice arrow crashed into the shield, it made a loud noise. The shield withstood the impact of the ice arrow, but it got frozen quickly.
If it goes on like this, I won't be able to handle it.
In a poor situation like this, I took a new step.
"Forge"
I forge a rock of enough size to hide next to the shield, then abandon the frozen shield and hide behind the rock.
Then, when I forge a new shield and equip it, I activate the?Concealment?skill and start moving.
Blizzard Phoenix senses that I'm gone and is flying around looking for my whereabouts.
I want to hide to the last minute and aim for a headshot.
Thereupon, the Blizzard Phoenix start attacking with a snowstorm, probably because he couldn't find me.
As I was about to receive a snowstorm, I hastily created a rock in front of me to hide.
"Damn"
The Blizzard Phoenix noticed me and shot an ice arrow.
An overwhelming out of range attack power. But, when it comes to shooting from range, even I can do it.
I switch from Saiga to Nikov. Then hold the shield in front and start shooting.
Dandandan
Then hide behind the rock. Then again, shoot at the Blizzard Phoenix from behind the rock.
I earnestly repeat this pattern of attack.
?
?
?
Suddenly the ice arrow stopped coming.
When I activated the ?Concealment? skill and jumped out from behind the rock, I saw the figure of Blizzard Phoenix there, lying on the ground twitching.
It seems it got hit in the weak points.
I quickly approached and shot the Blizzard Phoenix's head with Nikov.
"Okay, It was a close call, but I managed to beat it."
I start dismantling it.
When you look at it like this, Blizzard Phoenix is ??very beautiful.
However, most of what I thought was the beautiful ice blue wings seemed to be made of ice. I tried peeling off the ice feathers, but the peeled feathers began to melt already.
Unfortunately, it seems impossible to use it as a material.
It can't be helped, even so, it's quite huge. I handle the Blizzard Phoenix in the same way I handle the other monsters. By doing that, I found a magic stone around its heart, so I took it out.
Thereupon, I noticed something when I looked at the gradually melting ice feathers.
Oh? There is something other than ice in the tail feathers. And also on the wings.
I recovered one beautiful ice-blue tail feather and two wind feathers from the remains of the melted Blizzard Phoenix.
The meat is …. for some reason has a very bad colour, so let's leave it.
Even in the game, there was no explanation that it could be eaten.
I also collect the wing bones and proceeded to the boss room. There, the familiar labyrinth core, treasure chest and pedestal are enshrined.
I opened the treasure chest and took the ?Sky Knight sword?.
And this pedestal is a magic stone synthesizer. The existence of this device is the reason why I wanted to come here.
After all, this is a cheat device that breaks the common sense of this world.
What this device can do is, synthesize the same type of magic stones and increase the size of the magic stone. In the game, two magic stones of the same size could be synthesized to one size higher. In other words, it took two tiny magic stones to make a small one, four to make a medium one, eight to make a large one, and 16 tiny magic stones to make a huge one.
For example, if you defeat an ordinary goblin, you can get a tiny magic stone. It sells for around 1,500 to 2,000 cents. But the larger size trades for 30,000 cents.
With this device, you can create something worth 30,000 cents with only 12,000 to 16,000 cents.
So, the goblins and orc magic stones that were stored so far will be sold after being synthesized here.
In this way, I put the magic stones I got while traversing this dungeon on the pedestal and synthesized them, then transferred to the entrance.
