Chapter 128 – Double Play
Good luck!
After a while, the torches installed in the cavity all caught fire.
As the dull darkness faded, the situation inside the cavity began to become clearly visible.
A black mark in a straight line from the muzzle of the musket to the wall in front.
Shattered bone fragments scattered around the middle.
Fortuna, Dohwa, and Rebecca, who followed them into the boss room, looked at it and expressed the same sentiment.
“There it was!”
“It happened.”
“There was.”
“There was. “I don’t have it anymore.”
After agreeing with the wives’ impressions, Jun loosened his grip and checked the condition of the musket.
‘… I can’t fire two shots.’
Despite being strengthened through Aura and Realize, the musket was not in good condition.
There were no broken or cracked parts, but the iron parts were slightly melted, and the wooden parts were burnt black.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like the iron and wood wouldn’t be able to hold up and would break if I used it again.
‘I’ll have to ask Firbjörn to make one.’
Thanks to the use of muskets, the efficiency and power of rail guns have increased significantly.
However, the amount of mana consumed was not that much.
It was no problem at all when used as a main weapon. No, rather, it was full and overflowing.
The speed faster than sound and the enormous physical force and frictional heat that came with it were absolutely not the kind of power that could come from a main machine that could be used casually.
‘This happens with empty bullets, but if you use bullets made entirely of metal…’
Wouldn’t it have the power of a special move?
It’s also a one-hit kill that requires a high degree of concentration and a lot of mana.
‘There is no need to use magic-compression as an attack.’
The reason why Jun insisted on using attack magic until now was because he did not have any suitable long-distance skills.
Although long-distance combat was possible with bows and javelins, he wanted to use powerful skills with long-distance weapons, such as ‘lightning splitting’ using a sword.
If others knew what I was thinking, they would have scolded me for being overly greedy, but since I already had a versatile position, I wanted to push forward with that position.
As if his perseverance was rewarded, he now had a powerful technique that would make others say, “That’s not right!”, So it seemed like magic-compression could be used for other purposes.
Jiing~ Changgrang!
The moment Jun gathered his thoughts, the fragments that were the boss turned into golden light and coalesced into one, then split into three parts and fell to the floor.
As the light subsided, Fortuna could not hide her disappointment as she saw a large sword, a skull, and a magic stone mixed with purple and indigo.
“Yes? “What is this?”
“Even if we sell everything, it looks like it will only pay for our snacks.”
“… They are expensive in their own way, but that’s probably the case with my sisters.”
Rebecca, who had adapted wonderfully to life as the youngest, picked up her sword and handed it to June.
“It is the ‘Warrior’s Greatsword’, the main weapon of the boss mob, Skeleton Warrior. It has no special abilities, but it slightly increases strength and stamina, making it a weapon that beginner adventurers who engage in close combat pray for. Weapons don’t come out often as rewards, but I was lucky.”
“I guess it’s because you and Por are by my side. I will also ask you to open the treasure chest. Would you like to open it with Port instead of me?”
“No, just let Sister Por open it by herself. Even when opening the box, if a repeater touches it, the reward is reduced.”
“That too? It’s really tight.”
“You probably want to prevent new challengers from emerging.”
Re-challenger.
People who moved down from the upper class to the lower class due to lack of skills, deviant colleagues, requests, etc.
The labyrinth, or more specifically, the Bright God’s blessing system that gives rewards to adventurers, was very stingy to them.
When catching a monster, the drop rate was lowered by the amount of damage inflicted by the repeater, several Easter eggs had a negative effect, and the reward after killing the boss mob was not given at all, and the amount was reduced by the amount of damage done.
That was why Rebecca informed Jun that she would not participate in the boss battle before opening the door to the boss room.
According to the church, the restrictions are a measure taken by Bright God to prevent humans from being distracted by the benefits they gain from the labyrinth and neglecting to conquer the labyrinth.
Well, whatever the reason, thanks to that, most adventurers were reluctant to become repeat challengers, and unless there were unavoidable circumstances like Rebecca, they never set foot in the lower world.
“Rebecca, how far did you say you’ve climbed?”
“It’s the 10th floor. However, I did not attack the boss on the 10th floor. After defeating the boss on the 10th floor, the party was virtually fixed, so all the parties I had joined so far expelled me in front of the boss room. “I’ve experienced the same thing so many times that I can’t even remember how many times I’ve experienced it.”
Rebecca said cheerfully, as if she was telling a joke.
It seemed like she was trying to say that nothing was wrong, so don’t worry.
‘It’s impossible to accept something like that so casually, even if you’ve experienced it many times.’
It was about pretending to be strong.
She didn’t even have to check the emotions flowing through the strings of her soul, she could tell just by looking at her eyes filled with sadness.
Without looking any further, June hugged Rebecca tightly.
Then she spoke with all her sincerity into her ear.
“Rebecca, let’s go up to the 10th floor together.”
“… Honey, am I of help to you? As much as my sisters?”
Then Rebecca asked worriedly, resting her head on her shoulder.
My two long ears drooped, as if I was anxious about what kind of answer I would get.
As he became familiar with Fortuna and Dohwa while exploring together, he seemed to be intimidated by their high status.
Even though there is absolutely no need for it.
“Rebecca, you are such a good wife. “Having you as my wife is one of the greatest lucks of my life.”
“… Is it one of many?”
“… Sorry. “I’m sure there are better things to say, but I can’t find anything that comes to mind.”
Jun blushed.
It was because he was ashamed of himself for not being able to comfort him with nice words like a gentleman.
“Hehe. Okay. Because I prefer one word of sincerity more than a long compliment. And you don’t need to whisper sweet words. Even without that, you are too sweet.”
Fortunately, Rebecca didn’t dislike that.
She smiled brightly and gently stroked his cheek, as if she really liked that.
The love and affection for each other was shared and amplified.
Chueup! Jun and Rebecca naturally kissed each other without any consideration of who went first.
Tuk-tuk
As the fresh kiss of only her lips continued, Rebecca’s tongue tapped Jun’s lips as if asking him to open them quickly.
Although she wanted to open it right away, Jun had no choice but to gently pull Rebecca away from the two pairs of passionate gazes behind her.
Rebecca held June’s head tightly, pressing her body against his, and she tried to keep herself from being pulled away from him, but she couldn’t withstand his strength.
“Ah…”
In the end, the two lips that were rubbing together separated.
Rebecca let out a sigh full of regret and cried.
Jun quickly comforted her by stroking her hair.
“Later. “You can bear it, right?”
“… As expected, you are so sweet. To a dangerous degree.”
Rebecca, who was blushing brightly and muttering like that, was so cute, so Jun lightly massaged her attractive buttocks.
After that, he left behind her, whose body was trembling for some reason, and kissed her other two wives, who had been giving her warm stares for some time.
After loving her wives equally, Jun opened her mouth as she looked at the treasure chest that suddenly appeared in front of the statue of God Bright located in one corner of her pupil.
“Now shall we do the grand finale? “Angel, I ask you a favor.”
“Ungh! “Jun only trusts me!”
Fortuna, who was in a good mood from Jun’s kiss, rushed to the treasure chest.
“Oh my. Look at my mind. “I have to prepare.”
She was about to open the box and open it, but she soon stuck out her tongue and tapped her own head.
She then closed her eyes and began to breathe deeply.
Woe!
A halo made of divine power and angel wings appeared above her head and behind her back.
Hum~
The Halo glowed brilliantly, transforming the surrounding mana into divine power.
At the same time, the pure white wheel that appeared in Fortuna’s golden eyes began to turn.
“… Ugh!”
After a while, Jun let out a small groan.
This is because all cores have reached an overheating state while maintaining angel mode and activating power.
“Jun, does it hurt a lot? I’m sorry, but please be patient just a little longer.”
Fortuna, who noticed his condition, did not stop activating her power even though she was crying.
This was because with just a little more luck, you could get the best results that could come out of the treasure chest.
It’s okay to replace it with the luck I’ve accumulated during my daily life, but if possible, I wanted to use it all at once when I absolutely need it.
‘There’s still a long way to go.’
Jun gritted his teeth.
Despite his growth, Fortuna’s angel mode and power activation were still difficult for him to handle.
The pride that had built up knowingly or unknowingly after being called a monster, a candidate for hero, etc., Melted away.
“It’s done!”
Boom!
The lid of the treasure chest opened with Fortuna and cheers.
Rainbow-colored clusters of lights burst out from inside the box and beautifully decorated the air.
“… There is no sign of it coming together.”
“It’s a good thing, sister. No matter how much the platinum effect appears, the performance of the treasure chest on the 5th floor and the items inside it is limited. “It would be much more beneficial for the West to have experience points.”
The halo of light and blessings that did not become goods became experience points and brought various beneficial phenomena to adventurers.
If the amount of blessings decreases because it becomes an item that will not be used, it would be much more beneficial for Jun to have everything become experience points and be absorbed.
Everyone nodded at Rebecca’s explanation.
At that moment, the clusters of lights floating in the air were all absorbed into Jun. Jun did not panic and waited for the light waves to be completely absorbed into his body.
After a while, the light disappeared completely.
Jun was the first to activate the cores.
Hum~
The cores that had reached overheating began to rotate rapidly as if they had never happened before.
Even though the maximum speed was reached, the rotation continued longer than before reaching overheating. Enough to know that for sure.
“How many monsters did you catch while I was blank? The growth rate is truly enormous.”
A treasure chest reward appears after defeating the boss.
While its quality was determined by luck, its quantity was determined by the level and number of monsters caught while adventuring through the five floors.
That’s why adventurers rarely avoid battles with monsters.
That’s why Jun didn’t choose the option of skipping the floor, and this was also a measure taken by Bright God.
“Huh! “I did my best for Jun!”
“I can do anything for you.”
“If you’re grateful, please smile cheerfully. “Your smile is the best reward.”
Those were such lovely and wonderful words.
Jun couldn’t bear her overwhelming emotions and pulled them tightly,
Epilepsy
I tried to hug him, but I stopped moving due to a strange tickling feeling in my head.
While the wives who were trying to hug him looked at him strangely, Jun closed his eyes and focused his mind on the psychic core, the center of the tickling.
“… Oh my, these lucky ones!”
Jun became a kisser and showered kisses on his wives’ faces.
――――――
Two months later,
“… What floor did you reach?”
“On the 10th floor.”
News that shocked everyone came from Jun’s mouth.
