Chapter 39: Accelerated Level Up
The next day.
I immediately started my capture by activating [Transfer Within Dungeon] when I came to Kenzaki Dungeon.
“And I will use Kirikuji Dagger until I reach the deepest floor instead of the Nameless Sword…okay, let's go!”
Currently, I could transfer up to 50 meters at a time by activating [Transfer Within Dungeon]. However, I decided to transfer one floor at a time in order to save my MP. Because if it's done like that, only 4 MP was required to transfer to a lower floor.
Of course, there was a possibility there would be monsters at the transfer destination but they’re not my enemy at my current level. I could easily defeat Horned Rabbits and Orc in a single blow while Red Boars could be defeated with just three attacks using a sword.
“Things like defeating level 300 monsters was just a dream until one month ago though.”
While muttering such a thing with deep emotions, I made my way to the deepest floor of the dungeon. Because I didn't intend to be satisfied with only this much. I wanted to be stronger.
Then, I reached the deepest layer of the dungeon while fighting the monsters that appeared along the way and collecting the materials from those monsters in just over 30 minutes. Promptly after that, I challenged the High Orc after replacing my weapon with the Nameless Sword.
And because it was the third time I fought the High Orc, I was already used to fighting it and successfully defeated it without receiving the opponent’s attack even once.
『Dungeon boss has been defeated』
『Experience acquired – Level increased by 1』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level increased by 25』
As usual, my level was increased as a capture reward and in addition, an explosive magic stone and Kenzaki Sword was given but… I tilted my head in contemplation.
“Honestly, I think I’d rather get the weapon reward only once. Because they might get suspicious of how I obtained it when I was trying to sell it. Well, I don't really mind if it's magic stones, though. Because it can be sold at other dungeons.”
Normal adventurers could only capture a dungeon once a week. Thus, they could naturally only obtain the dungeon capture rewards at the same frequency. That’s why it would definitely raise suspicions if I tried to sell dozens of rewards that could only be obtained from one dungeon.
“Although it is a shame because Kenzaki Sword can be sold for about 150k yen, as I don’t want a troublesome situation to happen, I can’t help but gave up collecting the Kenzaki Sword”
Let’s just collect and sell the High Orc’s magic stone and Red Boar’s corpses instead. I should be able to earn enough money with just that.
“Now the only problem remaining is…about skills huh.”
I opened my status screen and looked at the list of skills that I have because I wanted to reconsider the skills I should acquire as the top priority from now on.
“Up until now, I’ve been focusing on raising the level of transfer within dungeon but…I can’t do so anymore.”
There were two reasons why I said that. And they were the improvements in the skill’s ability due to raising the skill’s level and the SP consumption to level up the skill.
First of all, it’s about the amount of increase in the skill’s ability.
When the skill level of [Transfer Within Dungeon] was raised to 11 or 12, the increase of the skill’s ability wasn’t comparable to the amount of SP used. Although the next big evolution is expected to be at level 20, it will be a long time before I could reach that point.
Next is about the amount of SP needed to level up the skill.
The amount of SP required to raise the skill level of [Transfer Within Dungeon] is 500 SP for Lv11, 1000 SP for Lv12, and 1500 SP for Lv13. Which meant that if the amount of SP required goes up by 500 like this, the total SP required to reach Lv 20 will be 26k SP. Which when converted to levels, was equivalent to 2600 levels. As one would expect, I would be troubled that I couldn’t raise the levels of other skills during that time.
Thus, I decided to temporarily stop raising the level of [Transfer Within Dungeon] and use the SP for the other skills due to such reasons. My objective was to increase the level of [Herculean Strength] and [High-Speed Movement] to level 10 and to obtain new skills such as [Enemy Detection], [Stealth], and [Abnormal Status Resistance] in the meantime.
Because among the dungeons that I would challenge from now on, I was sure there were places that I couldn’t capture with just physical strength. That’s why I have to be prepared for various situations.
“Besides, if I have the power to capture various dungeons, the efficiency to raise my level will increase as a result after all. Only then I will raise the level of Transfer Within Dungeon.”
Thus, the me who has decided on my future objective, challenged Kenzaki Dungeon again after taking a break for 5 minutes at the surface.
『Dungeon capture reward – Level increased by 25』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level increased by 25』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level increased by 25』
『Dungeon capture reward …………
In the end, I captured Kenzaki Dungeon 12 times, my level increased by 301, and I earned more than 3 million yen in just one day.
I wonder where I will reach if I continue to level up at this pace.
Even I don’t know the answer.
