Episode 133

“This is incredible. The Tower of Chaos!”

Ugh.

I got excited without realizing it.

Seeing the corpses of the ogre horde scattered on the ground, I couldn’t help but get worked up.

That’s right.

The corpses of ogre’s’.

Ogres, the notorious large-type monsters even in A-rank Gates.

Not just one, but ten of them appeared.

“It was quite entertaining.”

“It’s fortunate we had time to prepare.”

Just as the two vassals said.

If we had faced ten ogres without any countermeasures, our side would have suffered considerable damage.

The Tower of Chaos was kind enough to tell us what monsters and how many would appear.

Thanks to that, we had plenty of time to prepare countermeasures.

“How much is all this worth?”

There were as many as four ogre corpses with intact limbs.

If I store them, they’ll be useful somewhere.

The Death Forge is currently deactivated since no familiars are stationed there.

“Still, storage in the underground pit is possible.”

Up to 40 corpses could be stored in total.

I added one more in good condition, storing a total of five in the underground pit.

I’d like to work on the rest too.

But I wasn’t confident I could do maintenance and dismantling simultaneously within 30 minutes.

I miss the support team that used to dismantle monster corpses.

Sob sob.

“Bring the severely damaged weapons.”

Some of the Tigris group approached.

Cracked bone spears.

The moment they struck the ogres, part of the impact shook the spear shafts.

Thinking that it was amazing they didn’t break against A-rank monsters, especially large-types, I picked up my hammer.

Whoosh!

I put them in the portable forge to heat them slightly.

I repaired the cracked areas with spare bones I had prepared at the right timing.

“At least storage is possible, which is fortunate.”

Inside the Gate, I couldn’t enter the Death Forge.

Instead, the subspace function was still active, so I could take out the portable forge and equipment needed for metallurgy.

“Proper repairs would need more time though.”

Can’t be helped.

Let’s be grateful that we’re given 30 minutes.

When I hastily repair bone spears, the reduced durability increases, but the total durability decreases.

“It’s a shame since it’s rare grade.”

“They’re consumables anyway.”

Armaments made of bone have low durability and wear out quickly.

It would be different if I used materials with metallic properties like the drake bone that Master Han Yo-han showed me.

“Don’t worry. I’ll treasure this sword.”

Sir Isra tapped the [Fallen Knight’s Longsword] hanging at his waist.

An item with deeper meaning since it was made during the promotion exam.

Feeling his appreciation for my gift brought a smile to my face.

“Let’s leave Roan as is.”

【Trust. Gratitude.】

The Saint of Silence used divine spells every minute, intervening in combat.

When you think of divine spells, you generally think of buffs or healing types.

But Roan’s methods had a bit more range.

[Divine Spell – Pentiment]

A skill that delays the movement of a designated target.

[Divine Spell – Direct Gaze of Darkness]

A skill that makes wounds inflicted on the spell target develop into fatal injuries.

[Divine Spell – Baptism of Evil]

A buff that increases the target’s stats by 30% but increases health consumption by 50%.

Besides these, he led the battle favorably with various other divine spells.

Not decisive, but.

Should I say they’re subtly helpful.

【Evil. Encouragement.】

Tigris, who had lost an arm, recovered to normal.

Kugh.

In the past, I would have had to do a tearful shit show of sewing the arm to the torso and re-establishing spirit power circuits.

Using the Ring of Life would be a bit wasteful too.

Thanks to Roan, the burden of undead repair has been greatly reduced.

“The ring’s utility isn’t what it used to be.”

“It’s still useful in emergencies.”

Roan’s ability has a cooldown of one minute.

The disadvantage of not being able to heal continuously.

In urgent situations, it’s quite fatal.

That’s when the Ring of Life can be used as a backup.

“Excellent.”

“As expected of Master. You had it all planned out!”

No.

I didn’t have any plan like that.

Getting the Ring of Life and Vampiric Ring set was pure luck.

“Phew.”

By the time I finished the emergency repairs, the waiting time had completely passed.

[Tower of Chaos]

[44th Trial]

[Ogre (A) 10 units, Ogre Mage (A+) 1 unit]

[Prepare yourselves. Combat will begin in 60 seconds.]

This time a mage has been added.

Our forces are in perfect condition.

The Skeleton Mages have about half their mana remaining.

The Tigris completed emergency repairs and could charge at maximum power.

The enhanced Dracos finished preparing to rush out at any time.

“Watch my performance well this time too, mage.”

“What are you saying. Just don’t get in the way.”

【My lords. You haven’t forgotten about me, have you.】

【….】

The familiars were also energetic.

It couldn’t get any better than this.

“Everyone, let’s not overdo it.”

I lightened the mood with gentle applause.

“Don’t worry.”

“Leave it to me, Master!”

Let’s charge all the way to the end of the Tower of Chaos with this momentum.

* * *

Beyond the 40th floor, even A-rank peak Hunters would find it difficult to handle.

Sir Isra and Ingrid had overwhelmed the Kobolds.

But with just the two vassals, the difficulty was high enough that they would have struggled considerably.

“Haha. I alone would be sufficient to handle this.”

“Oh, really? Who was it that saved you when you almost lost an arm just now?”

“That was a gap I showed because I trusted the mage.”

“Hmph. Tch.”

Unable to find words to retort, Ingrid puffed out her cheeks.

After passing the 40th floor.

Our allies’ battle patterns also changed slightly.

“Go and trample the enemies.”

“Groooooo!”

The first attack was the Tigris Group’s charge.

Since charging head-on into large monsters like Ogres would cause severe damage, they split left and right to strike.

Immediately after, I used [Death Space] to retrieve them.

“Haha. I am my lord’s first sword!”

While Sir Isra and the Abyss Revenant held back the monsters.

“You’re noisy, so please be quiet.”

[Unique Technique – Eclipse]

Ingrid gathered and rearranged the spells of the magic-type undead, using deadly attacks each time.

When the enemy numbers decreased, Sir Isra switched to offense.

He finished off the remaining monsters.

“Woof! Woof!”

The two Dracos played the role of responding to variables.

They hunted monsters that drew aggro and ignored the formation.

Whoosh!

With Fire Breath, they dealt massive damage in a short time.

“Now we can’t even manage a 30-minute pass.”

Clang!

Clank!

When the Tigris charged once, the durability of armor and spears was considerably reduced.

The maintenance time wasn’t enough, so after the first charge and retrieval, I had to repair them while the battle continued.

Still, it was fine.

[You have cleared the 49th floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

[You are given 30 minutes of rest time.]

[You can stop the challenge or challenge immediately.]

I had prepared to redeploy the Tigris Group if necessary.

But there was enough time for emergency repairs.

[Tower of Chaos]

[50th Trial]

[Lich (A+) 1, Death Knight (A+) 1]

[This floor is the final trial.]

[These monsters have reduced stats compared to their original level.]

What?

A Lich and Death Knight?

“Ha.”

This is ridiculous.

Two monsters representing high-level undead as trial targets.

Does it make sense to present S-rank monsters in a place testing B-rank Hunters?

“Finally, worthy opponents appear.”

“I wonder how strong this world’s Lich is.”

It’s good that you’re fired up with competitive spirit.

But you two are much weaker than when you were alive.

Even though the two monsters’ stats were weakened.

Their skill sets would remain the same.

“The Death Knight will be able to use Aura Blade.”

“Hahahaha. Of course I’m aware of that.”

Sir Isra laughed proudly while stroking his sword hilt.

“Death Knights that have fallen to this sword number in the hundreds, so don’t worry.”

Excuse me.

That sword is a replica, you know?

What if you get too immersed in your Continental Greatest Sword days?

“It’s fine. Even if Aura Blade is impressive, it’s nothing if it doesn’t hit.”

That’s like saying guns don’t hurt if you shoot them gently.

Sigh.

Since he’s confident, I have to trust him. What else can I do?

“Ingrid, will you be okay?”

“The opponent will be capable of Silent Casting. I’ll try to restrain them as much as possible.”

“Is restraint the best option?”

“I can’t defeat a Lich in magical combat.”

How decisive.

“Got it. Then just tie up their feet well.”

“Leave it to me!”

Is the key to endure until Sir Isra defeats the Death Knight?

I’ll have to be prepared to sacrifice all the Tigris and Armed Zombie Enhanced made for escort.

If that’s not enough, I’ll have to sacrifice the Dracos too.

“If you become endangered, I’ll give up immediately.”

“My lord!”

“Master!!”

【…!】

Sir Isra shouted loudly as if moved.

Ingrid had tears slightly forming under her eyes.

Why are you so moved by something so obvious?

【Great Lord.】

“You don’t need to express gratitude.”

【There really isn’t any treasure here, is there?】

“….”

Sigh.

Fine. Just fine.

“This thief!”

“I won’t let you off easy when we get out!”

Murderous intent swirled above the two vassals’ eyes.

【Great Lord! Please spare me!】

Honestly, this seems like the self-proclaimed archaeologist’s fault.

Well then.

Should I try everything I can do?

“Are there any decent spells against undead?”

It’s been a week since I engraved Hatred Release on the back of my hand.

I didn’t engrave more divine spells in preparation for times like this.

Since the cooldown is a whole week, I thought it would be better to engrave them according to the situation.

Roan nodded his head.

【Order. Of. Night.】

[Night of Order skill is being engraved.]

[Engraving – 2/5]

[You can engrave again after 168 hours.]

[Night of Order]

Classification: Divine Spell

Type: Active

Grade: A

Interferes with all absurdities and returns them to their original state. Scatters rearranged mana or suppresses the power of undead.

A spell that suppresses magic and the power of undead.

It’s perfect for the current situation.

[The 50th floor trial begins.]

Two undead appeared from the opposite side.

『Living one. We shall test your abilities.』

『We hope you will not disappoint us.』

The telepathy of the Lich and Death Knight pierced into my mind.

How eerie.

Their presence is so strong that I wonder if their abilities were really suppressed.

Good.

Shall I give them a taste as a greeting?

[Night of Order]

This is a freshly engraved spell I just inscribed.

It should taste pretty good, right?

Whiiiiing!

Darkness slowly descended like drawing curtains, enveloping the Lich and Death Knight.

[Undead have entered the range of Night of Order.]

[The grade of these entities is below S-rank.]

[They failed to resist. Their grade drops by one level.]

[Their stats are adjusted to match their grade.]

『Kuk?』

『Uuugh. To use such cowardly sorcery.』

The Lich and Death Knight let out groans.

What’s wrong with them?

Aren’t they staggering?

“Sir Isra.”

“Hmm. They seem to have become too boring.”

Don’t be too disappointed.

We should take the easy route when we can.

You see.

I like it best when things go click, easily.

I’m lucky too.

It’s only because their grade dropped that I could enjoy the effects of [Night of Order], otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to.

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

This will end even more anticlimactically than the 49th floor.

A moment later.

[Tower of Chaos]

[You have cleared the 50th floor.]
