Chapter 136 – Day Trip Dungeon (4)

Sigh.

Fei, who was dismantling the Fisherman’s corpse piece by piece, smiled with her signature sullen smile.

“Of course, the material is captured.”

“…….”

It’s like a horror movie when you say that with a bloody face.

The title of the movie is probably Psycho Pass… No, Psycho Pay? It will feel roughly like that.

So while I’m dumbfounded.

“Uhhhhh”

Faye happily continued his capture, even humming his song.

Fei gets up from her seat after carefully removing a few scales with a dagger, taking care of an unusually shaped organ, and even her eyeballs.

It took just over a minute to get here.

“Oh my gosh.”

Was I carrying a loot pet?

As I stared blankly at Faye as she was wiping the blood from her face, I shrank her neck in embarrassment.

“Brother? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I want the capture speed to be amazing.”

“Heh… There are a few things that even a humble alchemist can do, and one of them is material handling. Before meeting my junior, I often worked at a monster exchange!”

“Isn’t it better to make and sell potions? With Fei-senpai’s skills, you can reliably make even intermediate potions.”

“… Didn’t have money to buy ingredients?”

“Ah.”

The academy provides ample food, clothing and shelter so that students can focus on their studies regardless of family circumstances.

As a result, there are students who, like Fay, sometimes throw away all their wealth without any countermeasures and endure by eating only rice.

Anyway, if it’s only about a minute, it won’t take too long, and if those materials are helpful to Fay, there’s no need to stop them.

Above all, since you don’t know when and what you will be using, it’s always good to have a lot of different materials with you as a production worker.

“By the way, where is Fisherman’s material used?”

“Well… Of course, if it was a higher level object, it could be used everywhere, but a lower level object like now actually has a fixed purpose.”

Fei brings out the materials she had put in and shows them again.

“If scales are chemically treated, they can be used like metals that have good mana flow, or they can be split and mixed with explosives to increase their power, or they can be finely ground and used as catalysts. The swim bladder and the eyes…….”

Was it because I was asking about a field I knew well? Faye, in a slightly raised voice, began to explain how fishermen are useful.

If it was normal, I would have listened, but now I’m in the middle of a dungeon raid, so I cut it off at the right line.

“Tell me more about it later. For now, let’s head to the next room.”

“Uh… I’ll be quiet now Huh… !”

Fei covers her mouth and returns to her place.

He smiled at that figure and resumed the dungeon raid.

As expected, the dungeon raid itself went very smoothly.

Just as I remembered, I disarmed the traps, prepared for the battle with the monsters, and moved toward the center without wandering.

In between, Karla and Elisha tried on their robes, and they performed element combination magic in front of Iris to be evaluated.

I didn’t give up on the things I could learn from real-life experiences.

A few hours to go through the fork in the road and attack the room.

I stopped for a while in front of the fork leading to the room with the dungeon core.

Carla tilted her head and asked, probably because she had never stopped except during battle.

“Why is that, Master? Are there any traps in the aisle?”

“No. There is no such thing. If you take the leftmost path from here, the core will appear soon.”

The condition for clearing a dungeon is to break the central axis that maintains the dungeon.

If the core resides in a monster, you have to catch a monster called a boss, and if it dwells in an object, you have to destroy an object called a core.

Depending on the dungeon, the kebab is so severe that it’s hard to say which one is better, but in the case of a labyrinth type dungeon, it’s much easier to break the core than the boss.

A dungeon with a core doesn’t have a strong enemy that can be called a boss, but there are plenty of monsters gathered around it to protect the core.

Thanks to that, it’s hard to just swipe the core….

Labyrinth type dungeons do not have monsters near the core, or are placed much less often than other types of dungeons.

Because the space is distorted and formed, monsters are scattered all over the place.

In the case of this dungeon, the final crossroads are divided into five, and the remaining four contain rooms full of fishermen.

There are no monsters in the core room, which is the correct answer.

So it stopped.

“Now, Fei-senpai shows off his skills, grabs what he can, and then breaks the core to clear it, and that’s it… Aren’t you a little sad?”

“Yes? Master please… Are you itching to kill more monsters?!”

“No, did I look like a battle-mad?”

“No. But crazy about cultists and monsters… Hmmm. It is true that you dislike it pathologically.”

“It is, but… You guys will know why I hate it so much when you go to the core room, right?”

It’s a pretty terrifying scene for someone seeing it for the first time.

“Anyway, what I wanted to say wasn’t that, it was a waste of such a good chance to play.”

Fisherman is like a training material that fits me right now.

Each one is weak, but they are not so weak when gathered together, so if you don’t use the robe’s invisibility, it will be a perfect training.

“It’s training… Are you talking about training?”

Carla with a meaningful smile clung to me.

“Obviously, practice is the best training. Especially since Master is a wizard who relies on intuition rather than theory.”

“Then….”

“However.”

Before I could say anything, Karla flicked her index finger and spoke word by word.

“Practice is good when you learn what you can do. Are you making good use of what you already have? If I had to say what was lacking, would it be about how to use the combination of elements?”

“Mum. It’s like I’m doing my part just by amplifying the power or making it easier to use… The essence of the combination of elements is to cause an impossible phenomenon after all. With a little more skill, the owner will be able to respond to any situation.”

Asked Iris, who nodded her head beside her.

“Specifically, how does it feel?”

“The owner has been fighting with lightning-type magic throughout this raid. Even the combination of elements was not like mixing wind and electricity, or mixing fire and electricity to cover a wide area at once.”

“Right? A wide range of lightning magic, such as chain lightning, is known from intermediate level magic. All I can write is a single guinea, so I took a range of fire and wind attributes and wrote them. You praised this too.”

“Of course that was good. But isn’t it too monotonous? What if one fisherman saw his master fighting and notified the other fishermen? Is there a way to deal with the master’s magic?”

“Such as pouring more mana into the preparation and crushing it completely?”

“… It’s a very Lindelheit-like method, but it seems feasible if it’s the owner, so it’s kind of hard to say.”

She was Iris who was dumbfounded for a moment, but then shook her head and continued.

“Still, since the combination of elements was the vision of the Sylvan Magic Tower, if I dare add, there is also a way to mix it with water. Bring only the maneuverability unique to water-based magic and directly manipulate the lightning to move between enemies.”

“Huh….”

That’s right. A water ball is a magic that can make a trajectory in the air if you are a skilled wizard.

If you apply it to Thunderbolt, it will be possible to break down enemy lines while retaining its power.

Roughly, it feels like Chain Lightning’s backwards compatibility.

Although the range has been widened, an attack that only needs to be blocked once is different from an attack that bounces three cushions with a powerful single strike.

Probably, no matter what the opponent prepared, it would have some effect.

“Hmmmm. Somehow I stumbled upon the words, but anyway, this is what I originally realized after pondering while practicing alone. If you want to learn something in real combat, you will be driven into a crisis situation like the situation you just hypothesized, and you have no choice but to squeeze your brains out to learn it.”

“I know what you mean. Unless you grow up or die, there is no way to grow in combat, so you are saying to grow through training, not combat?”

“That’s it. Awakening in a crisis situation does not come so easily.”

“Iris-nim said it well. That was what I was trying to say. It’s okay if you’re seeking real combat to become more proficient with your newly learned magic. But there is a much better way to grow, right?”

“It’s a good way… For a moment. I think I know what you’re going to say, Carla.”

“Whoops. I will tell you though!”

Carla grabbed my hands and her ruby ​​eyes twinkled.

“While Ms. Fay was doing her job. We practice even Gong Myong or Master!”

“As expected, it was a resonant story!”

I still don’t know about that!
