Keizoku wa Maryoku Nari -Munou Mahou ga Benri Mahou ni- Chapter 19

Chapter 19 : The Dungeon Still Continues

At the 31st floor Nagas, monsters whose lower bodies are that of snakes and drops were good knives, started coming out .

The boss of the 35th floor was a huge Basilisk and I had to be cautious while killing it because I was told its poison attack was quite something .

It dropped a large magic stone .

From the 36th on, it was the Cockatrices’ and Harpies’ turn to come out .

Both can fly as they are bird-like monsters, what made it difficult to proceed efficiently, those were quite the troublesome floors .

At last, we arrived in front of the boss room from the 40th floor .

“Here’s basically how far Damian managed to reach, he gave up shortly after defeating this boss . ”(Kent)

“So we finally got here . . . ”(Leo)

“Yes . As Damian has withdrawn, there’s no information from here on . ”(Kent)

“Is that so, but why did ojii-san not continue?”(Leo)

“Maybe the difficulty level ahead was too high . ”(Kent)

“It must be something really difficult for someone at ojii-san’s level to give up . ”(Leo)

“That’s why, don’t let your guard down under any circumstances . ”(Kent)

“Understood!”(Leo)

I’ve been being told that it’s dangerous quite often lately, so I’m kind of used to it .

I’ll just use reinforcement and do my best!

“Then, let’s defeat the boss . ”(Kent)

“Yes . ”(Leo)

When we got inside, there was a big bird in there .

And what I got from

   Physical strength: 5000

   Magic power: 3000

   Power: 2880

   Speed: 3300

   Luck: 3

   Attributes: Wind

   Skills:

   Wind Magic Lv . 7

It’s quite strong and its wind magic level is pretty high too…

I wonder if it can be defeated in one blow?

And so the battle began .

The Rock Bird suddenly flew high and started shooting wind magic from up there!

Jii-chan avoided by cutting it with his sword while I tried throwing .

After that the Rock Bird kept only shooting magic from a distance and never tried to get close .

Therefore, we couldn’t attack it because we were too busy defending…

Eventually, I came up with the idea of trying to shoot with magic applied .

Using that, I think my attack will reach it without being hindered by the wind magic coming its way .

So, I tried to shoot with wind magic applied to it using as much magic power as possible .

And as I thought, I was able to slice through the Rock Bird’s magic and split it in half .

“Somehow, I managed to defeat it~ ”(Leo)

This time, it could be dangerous if I couldn’t apply magic to …

Good thing that I can do that~

“This time the opponent was quite difficult huh . ”(Kent)

“Shooting wind magic from high in the air is really cheating . ”(Leo)

“Indeed, it would be dangerous if Leo couldn’t defeat it . ”(Kent)

“It sure was a tough opponent . ”(Leo)

“Right? It’s a bit early, but let’s stop here and rest for tomorrow . ”(Kent)

“Okay, I understand . ”(Leo)

I set up the tent and we go inside .

By the way, the Rock Bird dropped some fine feathers .

            *Damian’s POV*

Tonight, I’m headed to the princess’ room by His Majesty the Emperor’s order .

Lately, the princess’ aspect has been always pretty dark no matter the situation . No one told me what happened, just that when she was asked if she wanted to consult with someone, my name was heard . . .

At that, the emperor asked me to go have a talk with her .

If the princess want to consult with me, I think Leo-kun is involved, but have they gotten into a fight?

While thinking about that, I arrived at the princess’ room .

*Knock Knock*

“Is Hime-sama in there? It’s Damian . ”(Damian)

After a while, the princess came out .

The princess had a expression so dark that it made everyone’s worries understandable .

“Why the dark face? Does it perhaps have to do with Leo-kun?”(Damian)

“Yes . . . ”(Shely)

“For now, can you sit down and tell me about it?”(Damian)

“Yes . . . ”(Shely)

Saying that, the princess let me inside .

“So, did something happen with Leo-kun?”(Damian)

“There hasn’t been any call from Leo . ”(Shely)

Call… if I’m not mistaken, Leo-kun made some items that made talking possible even from far away .

And there hasn’t been any call from him…

“It’s not like Leo-kun… By the way, how long has it been since his last call?”(Damian)

“It’s been a week, and he hasn’t been responding to my calls at all . ”(Shely)

“Could something have happened if it’s been that long?”(Damian)

“Maybe I am hated . . . ”(Shely)

“Don’t be so negative . ”(Damian)

“But . . . ”(Shely)

“You’ve not gotten into a fight, have you?”(Damian)

“No . . . ”(Shely)

“Then, I’ll go check on Leo-kun’s situation and tell him to call Hime-sama . ”(Damian)

“Yes… please . ”(Shely)

“Unexpectedly, he may have fallen asleep because the special training of the hero and the sorcerer was too hard you know?”(Damian)

“That’s right… it must be like that . ”(Shely)

The princess said to herself . Her mental state has become quite dangerous .

That’s bad…

Anyway, I have to go to Leo-kun’s place immediately .

A few moments later, I arrived at dad’s house .

When I entered the house,

“Ara, isn’t it Damian?”(Carina)

Mother welcomed me .

“Kasan, do you know where’s Leo-kun?”(Damian)

“If it’s about Leo, right now he’s at the dungeon with jii-san . ”(Carina)

If that’s the case, then the calls won’t really be able to reach him .

The inside of the dungeon is completely blocked from the outside .

“Why did tou-san go to the dungeon with Leo-kun though?”(Damian)

“Because since there was nothing left to teach Leo, we decided to train him in the dungeon . ”(Carina)

“Has Leo-kun become so strong?”(Damian)

What does she mean by there was nothing left to teach?

“Yes, that’s because he got through that spartan special training of jii-san’s without running away even once . ”(Carina)

“That one!? Even though I escaped halfway . . . that’s amazing~ “(Damian)

How many times have I run away from that huh…

“Besides, that kid grew so fast that we have already completed the training planned for until his school entry . ”(Carina)

“I look forward to Leo-kun’s future . . . ”(Damian)

He’s pretty extraordinary already .

“Indeed . ”(Carina)

“By the way, which dungeon did tou-san go to?”(Damian)

“He said he was going to the Underground Dungeon . ”(Carina)

“That’s bad . . . ”(Damian)

“What’s bad?”(Carina)

“Ah, do you think dad is planning to go all the way?”(Damian)

“Maybe . He said they would come back after capturing it . ”(Carina)

“What a problem~ ”(Damian)

That sure is bad…

“What’s so dangerous about that dungeon?”(Carina)

“There was a sudden change in the difficulty level at the 41st floor . ”(Damian)

“Is that too much even for jii-san?”(Carina)

“If it was tou-san in its heydey, it might have been possible… but in his current condition and with Leo-kun, I don’t think he can manage . ”(Damian)

“Well, since jii-san is being vigilant I’m sure he’ll come back if he thinks it’s impossible . ”(Carina)

“That’s right, if it’s tou-san then there’s no need to worry . ”(Damian)

Being told that, dad surely would stay alert in a place like that…

After that, I returned to the castle and went to explain the situation to the princess .

But she still had a dark face .

“Right now, Leo-kun is working hard on his special training, so what about Hime-sama doing some too?”(Damian)

“What should I do on a special training?”(Shely)

“Simple . I can teach you magic, so when Leo-kun comes back, let’s surprise him by showing how you can use it!”(Damian)

“That’s good . I’ll give him some magic for making me worried!”(Shely)

Saying that, the princess’ face brightened .

“Then, think you can withstand my tough training?”(Damian)

“Yes!”(Shely)

After that, I kept on teaching magic to the princess everyday .

She worked hard in her training as well .

By the way, when Leo-kun returns, she wants to give him as much magic as possible, and for that reason, it seems it’s fine even if it’s hard .

Thanks to that, the princess’ growth became quite fast .

There’s no choice but to wait for Leo-kun to return . . .
