Her eyes widened as she stared at the gloves, then back at . For a mont, she seed at a loss for words.
"They're for you," I said softly, holding them out.
"Wait… did you make these?" Koneko asked, her tone laced with genuine surprise as she held up the gauntlets.
I grinned, pleased with her reaction. "Yep. These are dragon gauntlets. They'll boost your strength, endurance, and agility a bit. I figured you'd appreciate sothing custom-made. They're lightweight too—about a pound each—so they shouldn't slow you down."
I handed the gauntlets to her, and her eyes widened as she examined them more closely. "Wait… are these really made of dragon bones?!"
I gave her a look that clearly said duh.
"Well, yeah. Of course, they are," I replied casually.
Her shock quickly morphed into disbelief as she sputtered, "Where in the nine hells did you even get dragon bones?!"
"From the dead dragon I killed," I said nonchalantly, turning to walk away.
I'd barely taken a step before I felt her hand grab my shoulder and spin around. Her amber eyes locked onto mine, filled with confusion and just a hint of disbelief.
"Did you just say you killed a dragon?" she asked, her voice a mix of incredulity and curiosity.
"Uh… yeah," I said, trying to play it cool but internally cursing myself. (Shit, maybe I shouldn't have ntioned that.)
Her expression hardened as she demanded, "How?"
I sighed, knowing there was no way out of this. "Alright, fine. I'll show you."
Without waiting for a reply, I stepped closer, wrapped an arm around her, and activated a dungeon. I chose an easy one this ti—nothing too overwhelming but enough to prove my point.
When the scenery shifted around us, Koneko pulled away, her wide eyes scanning the strange, artificial landscape.
"How…?" she murmured, her voice filled with wonder.
"This," I began, gesturing around us, "is one of my dungeons. I have the ability to create them. One hour in here is equal to just one minute in the real world. This place isn't real, but it can kill you if you're not careful, so stay alert."
Koneko's initial astonishnt quickly lted into a determined smile. "This ans I can get stronger here, doesn't it?"
"Exactly," I said, nodding. "It's how I train, level up, and get materials like dragon bones."
She clenched her fists, excitent flickering in her usually stoic expression. "Let's do this."
I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. Koneko was tough, but seeing her this fired up was a rare treat. "Alright," I said, "let's get started."
….
Ti passed, and Koneko dropped to her knees, panting heavily. Her exhaustion was obvious.
"The… hell," she managed to say between breaths.
"Yeah, that's why I said to be careful. These dungeons can throw a handful of enemies at you or flood you with an entire army," I said, watching her closely.
Noticing her stamina was nearly depleted, I reached into my inventory and pulled out a stamina potion. Handing it to her, I gestured for her to drink it.
She eyed the green liquid suspiciously. "What's this?"
"It'll help replenish your stamina. Trust ."
Without hesitation, she uncorked it and drank. Almost imdiately, her breathing steadied, and her energy seed to return.
I gave her a reassuring nod before moving closer and placing a hand on her shoulder. With a quick activation of Escape Dungeon, the landscape around us shifted. Monts later, we were back in the living room.
Koneko blinked, looking around as if she couldn't believe it. "Woah…"
"Check the ti," I said with a sly smile, leaning against the couch as she scrambled for her phone.
Her eyes widened. "We were only gone for five minutes?"
"Yup. Five hours of training cramd into five minutes. Not bad, right?"
She stared at , astonished. "How many tis do you use this ability?"
I shrugged. "Quite a few. I only discovered I could do it when I got to Japan. So, you know, I've been making the most of it."
She nodded, the wheels in her head clearly turning. "Alright. I'll finish dinner. You should rest for now."
I nodded, heading toward the couch. But as I sat down, a thought crossed my mind. Maybe it was ti to challenge Alucard again.
Settling into the cushions, I activated Instant Dungeon. The world around shifted, and I found myself standing in the familiar courtyard of Alucard's castle.
Without hesitation, I marched up to the towering double doors and knocked loudly. It took five minutes, but eventually, the heavy doors creaked open, revealing Alucard's smirking face.
"So, you've returned for another battle," he said, stepping out to et . His tone was calm, but his crimson eyes glead with excitent.
"Yep," I replied simply.
We walked fifty feet apart, standing opposite each other in the courtyard. As Alucard prepared himself, I activated Observe to assess his weaknesses.
A notification popped up.
Alucard's Weakness: Holy Magic.
This type of magic is highly effective against vampires and devils.
Perfect. A smile crept onto my face as he called out. "Ready?"
"Ready!"
As he braced himself, I sprinted toward him. But when I was just twenty feet away, I skidded to a halt, raising both hands. "Icicle Lance!"
Two shimring lances of ice shot out, hurtling toward him. With a swift motion, he swatted them away, shattering them into countless shards that scattered around him.
"Hmph. Is that all?"
I smirked. "Not even close. Hell Flare!"
A burst of crimson fla erupted from my hand, engulfing Alucard in an inferno. He flinched, clearly struggling to extinguish the relentless flas. Eventually, his magic dispersed the hellfire, leaving him singed but standing.
He dusted himself off, his crimson cloak smoldering slightly. "Impressive. But you'll have to do better than that."
"Oh, don't worry. I already have. Look down."
His gaze shifted to the ground beneath him, his expression turning puzzled. "Water? From the ice lance… It lted. Why does that—"
"This is why!"
