Chapter 52: Lightning Magic
Let’s test the newly learned Lightning magic before we fight the next enemy. Since the area of the room with the Mimic is just right for that, let’s try it right now.
It seems to be the same with the other attack magic, I was able to confirm many types of attack methods with it. The first one, is the type that shoot out lightning. The range is around 10 meters. Although the range can be increased by reducing its power, around twice the range which is 20 meters is the limit. Since the range can be increased longer than this, it can’t really be used in battle.
Next is the type that drops several lightning from above me. Apparently, it seems that it can identify between enemy and ally. If you’re asking how do I know that, it’s because it avoided the other members who stood close to me when I carelessly launch the magic.
“Uwa!?” (Claire)
“Kya!” (Shallie)
“Wait!” (Diabell)
Claire was only surprised, Shallie rounded her tail frightened, while Diabell got angry since I was careless. I could do nothing but bow since it was my bad.
“Master is trying to bully Shallie…” (Shallie)
“Y-you’re wrong! I have no intention of doing that!” (Est)
“…. My Lord! That was too careless of you!” (Diabell)
Although it’s really hard to soothe the mood of those two, let’s continue with the testing. I was able to confirm the last one, where it seems to be a way of covering a part of my body with lightning to attack. It could be used no matter if I was bare handed or using a sword. Not just the hand, I could also use it to cover my body, legs or head with it. Although I didn’t really understand why I didn’t get electrocuted, but something like an insulator might be covering my whole body while I activated that magic. I really wanted to name this technique that make my hand sparks. This is great.
I was able to confirm the pattern of the mentioned 3. I’ve managed to obtain a pretty usable skill this time. The extent of my strategy has increased with this.
Since I’ve done with the testing, let’s resume our search. Including the Mimic room a while ago, the number of rooms that I’ve finished searching is around 20 in total? Although it couldn’t be said to be many, since the distance between one room is pretty far, it takes quite a long time to search.
Has it been half a day since we start searching? The fatigue acc.u.mulates as we keep walking. Since Claire and the others had become more silent compared to when they first enter the dungeon, should we take a break soon? However, we still haven’t even finished a quarter of it yet. Although the Map skill can’t grasp the number of all the rooms, I could still guess the rough number. I guess there are approximately 100 rooms placed in the whole dungeon? Just thinking about it makes me tired.
Let’s have a meal break once we finished a few more rooms and find a good spot. We smoothly searched for one or two more rooms, when enemy reactions appeared when we decided to take a break. Let’s do our battle preparation here first before entering as there’s no sign of it leaving the room.
Shallie and I are on both side of the door, while Diabell and Claire prepares themselves. When I signal Diabell that I’m ready, she kicked open the door of the room open. I lean forward, unleashing explosion magic inside the room. When I quickly hide myself behind the door, a furious explosion sound gushed out of the door with intense force. I rushed into the room after unsheathing my sword without a moment&r

squo;s delay. I feel like some kind of Special Force member. “FBI!!”.. Something like that.
Although if there were human in this room I would have said “You have the right to call a lawyer”, but there’s not a single creature, let alone a human in this room. I noticed some distorted form at the side, it seems to be like a lump of ma.s.s that forcibly formed into human-shaped. But did it move since we go into the room? It starts attacking while making a rattling sound.
Brick Golem：Level 33
Is that enemy’s arm the effect of the previous explosion? Its left arm had come off and only the right one remains. Since every parts of its body had been dented, I think that it had received some considerable damage. Since it’s a golem, it moves like it doesn’t feel the damage, and raised the arm which had turned into sword-shaped and swing it down. When we avoided the attack and scattered around the room to surround it, I start attacking from long range to stop its movement.
“Gnome! Stop its movement!” (Diabell)
“How about this!?” (Claire)
Although Diabell tried to restrain it with rope using Earth magic, it got easily torn up. Claire’s Power Shot also barely scratch it even if it hit as the opponent is not a living thing.
“Yaah!” (Shallie)
Shallie approaches it and stabs it with her two swords. I follow a little bit after that. Although Shallie managed to overwhelm the golem most of the time, she lacks the power. Although she managed to avoid the heavy blow, the impact sends her body flying.
“Shallie!” (Est)
“I-I’m alright!” (Shallie)
She did crashed from the attack, but since the bracelet’s shield automatically activated just before it hits her body, it seems that she was unhurt. I dash forward and stab the golem, but the golem defended with its right hand. Indeed it was fast but it’s not fast enough. Although it’s possible to win if we keep on attacking, I decided to end this early without being careless.
“Eat this!” (Est)
I clad my sword with the Lightning Magic that I’ve just learn a while ago, and channel it into the inside of the golem. The golem start shaking from the electric shock and stopped moving. I promptly pierced its neck and torso to give the finishing blow.
I only realized this after using it, but as expected this magic could only show its full power at close combat range. Normally the opponent won’t be defeated that easily.
We managed to get the monster core that shined in red from the golem’s body. Based on the purity it could fetch a pretty high price. By the way, although we managed to get slightly small monster core from the Great White Lizard, there’s none coming out from the Mimic. I guess the treasure itself is the core of the Mimic. Since the battle is over, let’s have a meal break.
“I’m tired. We’ve got something good, so shall we have a meal?” (Est)
“I’ll help.” (Claire)
“I’m also starting to get hungry myself.” (Diabell)
“Rice, rice~” (shallie)
It seems that I’ll be able to make some delicious dish this time since we’ve managed to get some relatively luxurious mobile food from Chronoire. First I make a simple type kitchen using earth magic and strengthen it, then lights up the fire. Once it’s heated enough I knead some flour, drip some olive oil and honey on the dough and bake it. I also heated the table roll at the same time.
[T.N: Table roll is a plastic wrapper used in cooking, in case you’re wondering what it is(I’m wondering what it is, so I google it.]
When I live in j.a.pan, when I heat the bread sold at the convenience store using the toaster oven and let it got colored a bit, I remember that it got considerably delicious. There are times when I tested it with various type of bread.
I prepare the drinks while I bake the pizza. I took out the drink that I got from Chronoire out of the tool bag, and pour into everyone’s gla.s.s. It’s a type of fruit juice like lemon dissolved in water, and it gets pretty cold once I put it in the preservation bag. I cut the baked pizza and serve it to everyone. Now then, let’s eat.
“Mm! This is really tasty!” (Claire)
“I need to stop being surprised every time My Lord makes a dish.” (Diabell)
“Tasty~! Shallie really like this!” (Shallie)
It seems to be quite favored by Claire and the others. Although I said pizza, there’s no ingredients on top of it, but it’s still delicious being simple like this. Honey unexpectedly matches well with olive oil. The table roll that is responsible to the burnt color, makes me able to make a delicious bread that was soft on the outside. This method seems to work even in this world. We finally quench our thirst with the lemon juice, and thus all of us had become full.
[T.N: I’m not a cooking expert, so take this cooking translation with a grain of salt(No puns intended). Not even sure why it’s called pizza when there’s nothing on top of it.]

First of all Claire’s Power Shot had went up to Level 3. Since she only managed to use it recently, that could be why it had level up. She should be able to shoot arrows with more penetration power this time.
Diabell’s summoning magic had level up, and she is now able to summon water elementals. Somehow it seems to be related with the race, but it seems that Dark Elves are not compatible with water elementals. Still, for her to be able to summon it, it just shows how powerful DIabell had become. However unless the level went up, it doesnt seems that she can summon all that much, only the one that had a slight power and endurance. It seems complicated.
Shallie’s Swordsmanship had reached the same level 4 as me at last. With this she will be on expert cla.s.s even as a kid, she’ll definitely be a genius who will leave her name in history. I’m looking forward to her future.
This time I’ll take the Lightning Magic Level 2. Although I’ve only just use it a little bit, this magic seems to be too convenient in various ways. There’s no disadvantage in being able to raise my power.
Now then, Since we’ve fill our bellies, shall we make camp a bit early today?
