I Found Tiny Dungeon That Can Only Produce Metal Slime

CH 72



Chapter 72: Challenge The Middle Layer

「I only have that one bloody ore with me. But, the data that I need is much more than that…」

Seeing Aisha spoke with the distressed  look on her face, Yuuma opened his mouth,

「W-Well, it can’t be helped if you don’t have it. Let’s do it bit-by-bit, once per day and ther-」

“There is no need to be in such a hurry” that was what Yuuma about to say but――

「Let’s go get some.」

「Eh?」

「This magic ore was dropped in Vali, and they can be found in the 56th floor of the black dungeon. Yes, all we need is to dive till that far.」

「Wait a minute, 56th floor!? Are you serious!? Do we have to go that far for a single magic ore!?」

The 56th floor was way too deep, completely different from what you say about eating a lot of strange magic ore.

Yuuma tried to refuse but――

「We still need more bloody ores. Moreover, prolonging the duration of bloody ore’s effect means more time to gain the data. Don’t worry, you got my support!」

「But still…」

「Worry not, Yuuma-kun. You have already proven with your body that your ability is compatible with bloody ore. The next thing to do is to prolong the effect of bloody ore. Well, leave that matter to me!」

In the end, with the president being powerless in front of Aisha, and Yuuma who couldn’t refute Aisha’s sound argument, they returned to Yokohama’s 『Black Dungeon』 again.

◇◇◇

By the time they arrived at Yokohama, it was already 6 PM.

They decided to dive into the dungeon tomorrow and rest in the hotel in Yokohama that day. And then, right on the next day――

「Are you ready, Yuuma?」

「Yes, I’m ready.」

Yuuma replied to the president as he carried a huge rucksack on his back. The rucksack was stuffed to the brim with nitroglycerin bomb.

「Where in the world did Aisha-san manage to get this much nitroglycerin?」

「I don’t know where it originally came from but it definitely came from an illegal route. You better not know about it.」

""

Though Yuuma was really scared about carrying so many explosives in the rucksack on his back, he couldn’t help but wonder whether it was really enough until they reached the 56th floor.

The middle layer of black dungeon was filled with monsters far more terrifying than explosive after all.

Yuuma had no choice but to carry on. The president and Yuuma met up with Aisha and left the hotel together.

The three of them stood before the heavy gate that blocked the 『Black Dungeon』.

The capture of the middle layer would start from today.

◇◇◇

「DORYAAAAAAAAAA!」

The transformed Yuuma swung his pickel. It was then followed by a loud metallic sound and spray of rock splinter in all directions.The pickel got blocked by a thick arm, preventing the former from destroying the head.

The one who stood before the three was a towering, more than three meters tall rock golem. The color of its rugged body was dark indigo with a pair of shining red eyes.

It was the biggest golem among the ones they saw until now.

「DAMMIT ALL!」

Even now, the president tried to attack it with his hexagonal staff. Alas, all he managed to do was make the golem flinch for a moment.

""

The golem raised a thunderous roar which made the ground somewhat vibrating and then rushed at the president.

It raised its thick, round arms and swung it down at the president. The president blocked the overhead blow with his staff but he was forced to go down on his knees due to the difference between their weight.

Nevertheless, he managed to force the golem to step back with his hexagonal staff.

「Kuh! Yuuma, use the explosive!! We can’t beat this fella with normal attack.」

「O-Okay!」

Yuuma lowered his rucksack and took out the metal utensil and the tube filled with nitroglycerin from inside.

The bloody ore’s ability couldn’t be used until they reached the 56th floor. Since the ability could only be used for three minutes, they saved it for when they fought  against Vali.

Yuuma installed the metal apparatus on the pointed end of the pickel and inserted the tube in it.

He used 『Liquid Metal Transformation』 to wrap the entire part of pickel, including the apparatus, leaving only the tube in its original state.

「President, it’s ready! Get away from that monster.」

「I can protect myself with “Water Magic”. Don’t worry about me and just blast this guy, Yuuma!!」

「Y-Yes!」

Yuuma rushed toward the golem, pickel raised high in the air. The president used his strength to push back the golem.

Yuuma saw through the opening and swung his pickel at the head of the golem.

The moment his pickel hit the golem head, his vision was overflowed with light.

The tip of the pickel exploded, smashed the head of the golem with the explosion, spraying rock’s splinters around.

The president used the “Water Barrier”, protecting himself from the splinters of rock. On the other hand, Yuuma got sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, and crashed on the rock wall behind him.

「Ooof—-」

Yuuma shook his head. Though the explosion from point blank range almost made him faint for a moment, his body was unscathed.

It seems his body was really sturdy.

Yuuma stood as soon as he finished checking his body condition and looked at the golem. The golem that lost its head raised a smoke, and crumbled down on the ground.

「We… Did it.」

The golem then turned into ashes as Yuuma looked at its last moment with relief.

「Are you okay, Yuuma?」

The president came to Yuuma’s side and asked about his condition with a worried look on his face.

「Yes, I’m okay. What about you, president?」

「Don’t worry about me. Despite how I look, I’m still a veteran Explorer!」

When Yuuma and the president were having such a conversation, Aisha had already crouched down in front of the remains of the golem that had already become ashes.

From there, she took a tiny, silvery “Sphere”.

「Both of you, look.」

「Uhm?」

Yuuma and the president turned around upon hearing Aisha’s call. Aisha placed the silver sphere on her palm and showed it to both of them.

「This is “Pure Silver”, a rare magic ore.」
