Chapter 38: The Effect of the Title
After returning to Kenzaki Dungeon, I was going to try capturing it again. But this time using Kirikuji Dagger instead of the Nameless Sword. And right now I was on the 15th floor fighting against the Red Boar.
“Haa!”
I slid my dagger that was pierced deeply into the skin of the Red Boar, causing the Red Boar to bleed heavily.
Unlike the last time I captured this dungeon, I was able to easily kill the Red Boar with just a dagger right now. Probably because I’ve changed my dagger and the level of my skill has grown compared to before.
Although the Red Boar has a quite high selling price, I’ve always left it in the dungeon because it was difficult to bring one back to the surface with its sheer weight and size. But now that I’ve just bought a new dagger using a lot of money, I’d like to use this as my source of funds if possible as I am sure I will continue to buy various equipment and magic items in the future.
“I’ve been thinking about raising the level of Item Box at some point…but I think right now is the time.”
I used 1000 SP to raise the level of [Item Box] from LV1 to LV3. And this should have considerably increased the number of items that can be stored inside. Then, I stored the corpse of the Red Boar in the [Item Box] before it got absorbed into the dungeon.
Alright, if it’s like this, it seems I can store more into the [Item Box]. Thus, let’s collect the corpses of the Red Boars as much as possible next time.
“Well, once again, depart!”
I enthusiastically departed with the aim of reaching the deepest floor of the dungeon. Then, because I used a weapon that I was familiar with–a dagger, it only took about an hour to reach the 30th floor. By the way, my level went up by 2 after gaining experiences on the way here.
At any rate, right now there was a gate leading to the boss room. So, I’m going to immediately challenge it—
“—But before that, I have to change my weapon.”
I temporarily stored Kirikuji Dagger in my [Item Box] and took out the Nameless Sword instead. Incidentally, I do this because the title I got yesterday was related to this.
___________-
The Nameless Swordsman
・A title given to a person who was able to overcome difficulties with his own power and a sword without relying on others.
・When the titleholder levels up, the performance of the sword type weapon that the titleholder uses will also be improved.
____________–
The title【The Nameless Swordsman】 was obtained after defeating the Nameless Knight. And the effect of this title was to improve the performance of the weapon that I used when leveling up.
I used the Nameless Sword instead of Kirikuji Dagger because the Nameless Sword was more outstanding than Kirikuji Dagger. That’s why if possible, I’d like to improve the performance of Nameless Sword which I most likely will continue using in the future. Therefore, I decided to use the Nameless Sword when challenging the dungeon boss.
Well, the effect of the Nameless Sword won’t be activated because the recommended level to subjugate the High Orc was lower than my current level. Still, I decided it would be best to use the Nameless Sword considering the future, even if the fight will be quite difficult this time.
“Okay, let’s go.”
I prepared myself and entered the boss room. And then the dungeon boss, High Orc, appeared in front of me. It was a powerful monster with a terrifying physical strength. Even so, I didn’t feel like losing at all.
“Now, I will have you become nourishment for my sword.”
Thus, the battle started as the high orc roughly swings the huge club in its hand.
In the previous challenge, my strategy was to avoid all of its attacks and fight back when I had a chance but it would be difficult to use that strategy this time.
Even so, I didn’t intend to just fight in such a disadvantaged situation. Because even if my speed was lowered, my attack power has incomparably risen. That’s why this time I will just defeat it head-on!
“How about this!”
I powerfully swung the Nameless Sword and flick of the club that was above my head. The High Orc was taken aback as if it didn’t think it would lose in the battle of physical strength.
….Even if my speed was slower than before, if there is such a big chance, it’s a different matter. Because it’s sufficient to release an attack on the High Orc!
“Eat this!”
The huge body of the high orc was deeply cut in a flash.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Then, the High Orc roared as if disguising its pain.
A single blow that caused great damage. Looks like this method also works very well.
“Now, I wonder how many blows you can endure!”
About 3 minutes after the fight started, the high orc collapsed after eating my attacks 8 times.
『Dungeon Boss has been defeated』
『Experience acquired – Level increased by 2』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level increased by 25』
“As expected there is no fight against the extra boss this time.”
I muttered like that after confirming that the dungeon capture reward was correct by receiving the Explosive Magic Stone and Kenzaki Sword.
Well, I knew that such irregularities won’t happen so many times though.
“Now that my level was increased by 27 in total due to defeating the high orc…I wonder about the effect of the title.”
I used [Appraisal] to check the Nameless Sword.
___________–
【Nameless Knight’s Sword】
・The sword used by the Nameless Knight
・Recommended level to use: Level 1020
・Attack Power +1020
・If the enemy’s level (recommended level to subjugate) is higher than the owner of the sword, all status except Hp and Mp will be raised by 20%
____________–
“Attack Power +20, huh…It’s raised quite a bit.”
I think it’s about the +1 attack power per level. And not only this time, but it will also happen every time I level up. This made me realize how excellent my title is.
“It’s a good time to stop today, so I will just go home now and I will do my best again from tomorrow!”
I finished today’s capture and decided to go home for now. And for the next day, I will start raising my level at a super-fast speed using [Transfer Within Dungeon].
