Chapter 238


Chapter 238 Strongest Sage, Discovers Powerful Enemy


『Finally, floor 27 . . . 』


『Can we really beat the monsters there? . . . I"m getting a bit nervous here . . . 』


『I"m ready to go at them anytime!』


Alma who was the most enthusiastic suddenly had cold feet after coming this far .


Well, I guess it"s good that she"s afraid of unknown foes .


You"d only meet an early death if you"re never afraid of anything .


On the other hand, Iris is the same as always .


I guess Floor 27 and Floor 1 don"t seem at all different for the Dark Dragon Iris .


Even if Floor 27 monsters all bunch up together to go up against her, she won"t even suffer a scratch .


As I was thinking that while riding the 『Dungeon Elevator』 . . . an enormous mana reaction suddenly appeared below .


Distance-wise . . . It"s Floor 27 .


『I can feel some incredible mana from here though . . . 』


『S-so this is Floor 27 monsters . . . ! Mathi-kun, are we going to gain exp by defeating this?』

Alma and Ruli noticed slightly after I did .


It"s hard to grasp mana reaction in the surroundings since there"s a lot of noise inside the Dungeon Elevator . . . But not when it"s this huge .


Ruli and Alma are observing such mana reaction . . . And this one is obviously not coming from an ordinary monster .


Floor 27 monsters aren"t this strong .


Rather . . .


『That"s the Floor Boss . 』


『Floor 27 Boss!?』


Even in my previous life, it was rare to see the Floor Boss of this floor .


As it was a popular hunting ground used by many magic combatants to train, there were veteran magic combatants in the area to deal with unforeseen circ.u.mstances .


As such, every time the Floor Boss showed up, it immediately got eliminated by those combatants .


The average life expectancy of the Floor Bosses here was 10 minutes if I"m not mistaken .


However, just because the olden magic combatants could beat it in 10 minutes, doesn"t mean this Floor Boss is weak .


Top-notch magic combatants back in the days were powerful enough to kill weakling demons in this era with one shot .


They still couldn"t deal with top level demons though, so I and that sword nerd Loita usually ended up getting called .


『 . . . Should we go back?』


『No, we"ll keep going . 』


The Floor Boss may be strong but nothing impossible to beat .


Even I was able to solo a Floor 21 Boss when I was in the Second Academy back then .


My power has gone up since then, and I"m with Ruli, Alma and also Iris now .


It"s really not a foe we cannot beat .


『How are we gonna fight the Floor 27 Boss . . . ?』



『Just knock it down like usual . Ruli and Alma are to attack from afar while I and Iris deal with its attacks . 』


There"s no need for some elaborate plans to beat this Floor 27 Boss .


Attack it upfront and defeat it with the difference in strength . That"s it .


『I gotcha!』


Iris replied immediately to me .


I suppose Floor 27 Boss is nothing to be afraid of for the Dark Dragon Iris .


With Iris"s defensive power, attacks by Floor 27 Boss should feel 『p.r.i.c.klish』 at most to her .


Iris in her human form probably can"t beat it alone . . . But she should manage to run away at least .


『Attacks by this Floor 27 Boss must be very powerful, isn"t it!? Mathi-kun and Iris-san, would you two really be alright!?』


Ruli asked when I told them .


Of course, I"ve got plans for that .


『I"ll be all right! When push comes to shove, I can just turn back into my dragon form and bite it to death!』


『I"m good too . It"s easier to dodge than demons" attacks and there"s a lot of s.p.a.ce to move around anyway . 』


Indeed, eating Floor 27 Boss" attacks directly would mean certain death for me .


However, I would have long left this world if I couldn"t dodge attacks from a mere Floor 27 Boss .


Rather, monsters on Floor 27 of 『Iliad-managed Dungeon』 are pretty easy to dodge .


After all, the ground there is flat and there"s a lot of s.p.a.ce .


Many dungeons have enough s.p.a.ce to engage in battles, but in this one you can dodge around without minding about s.p.a.ce at all . This is huge .


"We"ve arrived at Floor 27 . . . But are you truly sure you"re going down here?"


The operator had this "I can"t believe these people" face on her .


Looks like we reached Floor 27 while we were formulating a plan .


Let"s get off for now .


"Yeah . . . I just need to push this b.u.t.ton when we want to go back, right?"


I point at a b.u.t.ton installed near the Dungeon Elevator"s door .


This b.u.t.ton was used to call Dungeon Elevator in my previous life .


"That would be fine . Since some of these b.u.t.tons can be unresponsive, please push on it more if it doesn"t light up the first time . . . I"ll be praying for your safe return . "


This part"s lacking maintenance too huh . . .
