I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 38

Chapter 38. The Boss Room

“Panpakapaaan! Yesterday was the end of my part-time job! From today, I’ll start working hard as a full-time seeker!”

I went to the usual meeting point in front of the dungeon, and a cheerful Yuzuki was waiting for me from early in the morning.

Incidentally, Kodachi-san was holding Yuzuki from behind and patting her head.

“Good morning, Musou-san.”

“Oh, good morning?”

Kodachi-san greets me with a smile and a satisfied expression, and I answer while perplexed.

Why is that so? Is that normal?

I’m too envious of you, Yumizuki.

Aside from that, we met up with the others, prepared as usual, and headed for the dungeon.

We were transferred into the dungeon by a magic circle, descended through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors, and arrived at the 4th floor.

“But it’s so hard to come down from the 1st floor every time. Is it going to be like this all the time?”

“N……? Don’t you look at the Internet? I heard that there is a warp point between the 4th and 5th floors, and if you step on it, you will be able to select that option when you transfer to the next dungeon.

“Oh, is that so? I’ve already looked at it. I’ve seen the basic knowledge section, but not the complete strategy section.

“What kind of analogy is that?”

In ancient times, when the game strategy book culture was at its peak, there were times when a single game’s strategy book was published in separate volumes.

It has a basic knowledge section full of data on skills, magic, items, monsters, etc., and a complete strategy section with information on towns, dungeons, events, and story ……, which doesn’t matter.

With such unfamiliar conversations going on, we proceeded toward the boss room, kicking off the monsters of the 4th floor.

Even on the 4th floor, we could win most small fry battles.

The situation was completely different when Yuzuki was there.

It took us about four hours to get to the boss room, including the time it took to come down from the upper floor, by taking the shortest route.

We entered the dungeon after 8:00 in the morning and arrived at the boss’s room just at lunchtime.

There was some tension-free discussion about having lunch first, but we decided that people are better when they are a little hungry, so we go in as we were.

Yuzuki had leveled up to level 8 in the battle just before reaching the boss’s room.

She acquired the [Fire Weapon] skill, which strengthens the weapon attack power of allies.

The lineup for the boss battle is complete.

Kodachi-san, Yuzuki, and I nod to each other in front of the great stone door.

I represent them and hold my hand over the orb.

With a solemn gurgling sound, the great door slowly opened.

Through the opened doors, we stepped into the room.

The door was made of stone, but the interior was like a large cave with mud walls.

The dimly lit large room was about the size of a gymnasium.

As we advanced, the torches on the walls on both sides of the room lit up with blue lights, one in front of the other, and then another.

By the time we reach the center of the room, the torch lights speed up and overtake us, eventually illuminating the cavern’s depth.

At the far end of the cavern was a throne that looked like it was made out of bones, and there was a large, and strong goblin waiting with its hand resting on its chin.

It has a physique like a hobgoblin made one size larger.

If a hobgoblin is a middleweight in martial arts, it’s a heavyweight.

It clads in what appeared to be metal armor, with a champion’s cloak on its back and what looked like a crown made of skulls on its head.

It slowly stands up and picks up the greatsword leaning against the throne of bones.

At the same time, four human-spirit-like flames appear around the throne, and they change shape into the forms of monsters.

They change into one goblin, one hobgoblin, one goblin archer, and one goblin shaman.

During those monsters’ more than 10 seconds appearance scene. We’re buffing ourselves with magic.

My [Protection], Kodachi’s [Quickness], and Yuzuki’s [Fire Weapon] enhanced our physical abilities and weapon powers.

During the boss’s appearance scene, a mysterious barrier of some unknown nature is generated on the enemy monsters, and it is useless to attack them, according to the information left behind by our predecessors.

However, there is a backdoor way to use magic buffs during this time.

Therefore, we prioritized acquiring these skills by leveling up before the boss battle.

“───It’s coming!”

Kodachi-san’s warning voice.

Almost at the same time, the heavyweight goblin on the throne: the goblin lord: let out a scream.

The lord, accompanied by the monsters under its command, came running at an earth-shattering speed.

Only the lord was by far the fastest.

The boss did not take a firm stance in the rear but took the initiative to charge.

The goblin lord’s yell signaled the start of the battle.

Each of us launches the attack magic we have prepared for immediate release.

“Take this! [Rock Bullet]!”

“Go! [Wind Slash]!”

“Burn up everything with the fire of the end! [Burn Blaze]!”

Kodachi-san, Yuzuki, and I unleashed a simultaneous magic attack that exploded into a swarm of enemy monsters.
