Chapter 89: - The Sixth ~ Ninth Floor
From the sixth floor onward, the floor capturing progressed smoothly.
The quest for the sixth floor was 【Total Evasion】. It was about being trapped on a 50-meter square floor and having to keep evading the magic released from all directions for 30 minutes.
Since the magics didn’t fully cover the whole area like the fourth floor, it was possible to avoid the magics if the moment to evade was properly estimated.
However, the number and the power of the magics were increased in the latter half, causing me to receive some damage for more than a few times even if it's not a direct hit.
Still, while my stamina and mental strength were being depleted, I somehow managed to endure it for 30 minutes.

『For clearing 【Total Evasion】, bonus reward will be given』
"Oh, I can obtain a bonus reward here too?"
The bonus reward of the sixth floor was an item with a form that looked like that of candy in a size that could be grasped with my fingers. Let's use [Appraisal] on it right away.
______-
【Magic Pill】
・By drinking this, reduce magic damage taken by 99% for 10 seconds.
______-
"Really, this one is also a quite high-end item, huh."
Although it was only for 10 seconds which was pretty short, the effect was still excellent. As long as I didn't make a mistake in using it, this would undoubtedly be a quite useful item. Too bad it could only be used once.
"Yosh, let's keep progressing at this pace!"
After taking enough rest, I challenged the next floor.
The quest for the seventh floor was just like the first floor, a quest that tested my stamina and perseverance. Equipping the Nameless Sword, I defeated the monsters one after another.

『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1』
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1』
Perhaps because I have experienced it on the first floor, my heart didn't give in during the quest this time, and I was able to finish the quest without letting my guard down until the end.
『The seventh floor capture reward – Level has increased by 350』
On the eighth floor, finally, a quest that would test my wisdom awaited me. Since it wasn't something that could be solved with strength alone, it took a lot of time to clear as an element like solving a riddle was also included in the quest. However, I managed to clear it in the end.
『The eighth floor capture reward – Level has increased by 400』
The ninth floor was just like the sixth floor, a stage where magic attacks came back and forth was prepared. The difference was that I had to defeat a number of strong enemies with a recommended level to subjugate that surpassed 10,000 in that kind of environment.
Although the subjugation itself should be easy since I could use the Nameless Sword, it was the most difficult so far due to the environment.
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 73』
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 66』
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 58』
In exchange, the experience I acquired from subjugating those monsters was relatively high. My level kept increasing at a speed that surpassed that of the previous floor or even the super-fast level-up using the [Transfer Within Dungeon] that I have done until now.
And then, when my level achieved a certain mark, finally, that moment arrived.
『The ninth floor capture reward – Level has increased by 450』
『Bonus reward – Skill 【Resilience】 will be given』
______–
Resilience Lv 1:
+20% to Attack Power, Speed, and Intelligence when HP less than 30%
+50% to Attack Power, Speed, and Intelligence when HP less than 20%
+100% to Attack Power, Speed, and Intelligence when HP less than 10%
______–
Saying this as ‘in addition' would be quite weird, but I was able to acquire a new skill too. Since it is very rare that skills are given as a reward, I'll accept it with thanks.
"Based on the description, it seems better to not get a chance to use it if possible, though."
Having 30% or less HP precisely meant to be right next to death after all. I hope such situations will not come.
Well, in this flow, I successfully captured the ninth floor.
Now only the tenth floor remains. And surely a formidable enemy that I have never seen before was what awaits me there. As follows, I was slowly making some preparation for the moment that was about to come.
