Episode 350 Dark Continent (1)
The probability of [Stochastic Retaliation] happening is around 10%.
By the way, it does not increase even if you have [Transcendence]. The 1.5x increase in performance is because it is applied to reflected damage
.
“The character was hit by [Suragak].” It
was around the ti when I was seriously worried that the passive was activated because I was cheated and ate a strange essence.
So, it was about the ti when I was beaten by almost 100 s.
「The character’s luck blocks the damage.」
[Stochastic Retaliation] is activated and a transparent shield grows on the affected area as if protecting .
And…….
「Strong luck.」
「Reflects 150% of the damage taken to the enemy.」
The skeleton summoned right next to imitated the kicking stance and put [Suragak] at Alia.
The one with no vocal cords lets out a cheerful shout.
[Gaaaaat-!!]
Uh, this is the sound that ca out when it was a great success?
If you do this for a second, won’t it hurt you badly?
That thought rushed forward, but it was already too late.
Poo-!
Alia couldn’t avoid the flying blow and took it with her shoulder, probably embarrassed by the sudden burst of skill.
Shaaaaaaa.
The skeleton imdiately turned into a halo of light and disappeared after hitting exactly one shot.
“Eww…….”
“Are you okay!”
As I ran away, Alia let go of her shoulder and pushed away.
“…Don’t be particularly nervous. I was just a little surprised.”
what a surprise
My shoulders are all sore.
“Bring the Erwen splint and bandage.”
“Ah yes……!”
Because of [The Source of Fire], it was useless to feed Alia the potion, so I matched the bones with my hands, applied a splint, and then wrapped a bandage.
“Didn’t I tell you to avoid it when you use your abilities?”
“…….”
“If you can’t avoid it, why don’t you hit gently.”
“…it was a gentle blow.”
What do you an by beating ?
Only 100% of the original damage should be judged as a ‘great success’.
‘Ah… it must be 150% because of Transcendence.’
For reference, the original reflection damage is only 10%.
Even if you add [Transcendence] and calculate it, it’s 15%.
Since the skeleton is summoned to attack, it is possible to evade, so the skill value is not that high.
“Anyway, Alia, you should rest now.”
“Yes! Now I just need to help you! I can dodge and block it!”
“…it is.”
Soon after, Erwen summoned the spirit again, and Alia went to the sofa and sat down like soone who was intimidated by sothing.
And…
「The character takes fire damage.」
「The character takes fire damage.」
「The character takes fire damage…」
「… This
ti, the skill was activated after 10 tries.
「The character’s Luck blocks damage.」
「Normal Luck.」
「Reflects 15% of the damage taken to the enemy.」
A cute little skeleton that is summoned next to you again and shoots sparks.
It wasn’t a huge success, so it didn’t have a distinctive sound.
but.
Pew-!
Erwen dodged the flas to the side, so the sparks that hit the walls flew all over the place.
And…
“Oh fire.”
“Erwen! Water Spirit!!”
“Ah Nenet!!”
That day, we almost lost even the house we had secured as collateral.
***
After a near-fire incident, we went out into the yard at night to test our skills.
And we got significant statistics.
‘I don’t think there’s much error in the probability, but…’
Unlike the first case where he succeeded with 100 tries, after that, the skill was used on average about 15 tis.
The problem is that statistics are just statistics.
There were often cases where it just worked normally, but then suddenly stopped working, and in that case, it really took a long ti for it to activate.
The highest record was 198, maybe?
‘Does this make sense…?’
Even if the probability is 1%, it is not easily convincing.
Even stacking up like that didn’t result in a jackpot.
‘Well, it seems to float a little better in terms of experience, but.’
Anyway, after the passive and active skills were tested, the three of us spent ti making exploration plans every day.
The number one goal of the plan was money.
That’s because I wanted a short-term loan for 6 months to et the insufficient budget. The interest is high, and if the money is not paid on ti, the house goes to the bank.
But is that so?
“Mister, I’m fine… don’t overdo it…”
Erwen seed to have abandoned the idea of reclaiming this house from the ti he took out the loan as collateral.
You must have thought that it would be difficult to raise all the money in six months.
But…
“I told you. I’ll try as far as I can.”
I am also a person with a conscience.
As long as Erwen likes this house, it is right to try to protect it sohow.
“But to raise that money in a short period of ti… After all, there’s no other option than war.”
“Rain Wales is right. None of us have boats. That ans we can’t even go to the 6th floor, and eventually we have to stay on the 5th floor…
” I think it would be better if I did it. I will stand out, but if I don’t use [Giant], no one will think of when they see now.”
Without a long discussion, I decided to participate in the war.
That’s because if you join the royal family, you can ride a large sailboat and move to the 7th floor at once.
‘If we’re at the level of the three of us, the monsters on the 7th floor aren’t a big deal.’
All three of them are also strong against people, so you should be able to earn bounties by doing a great job in war.
No, is the bounty the problem in the first place?
The enemies are all middle-class explorers, so if you strip off all your equipnt and sell it, the profits will be huge.
Not only that…….
‘If I do well, I’ll be able to catch the 7th floor monsters and take the 7th level.’
Originally, it is possible to more easily fill the experience points that could only be filled by attacking the 6th floor by 60% or more.
And…
‘I can eat the essence of the underground island at level 7.’
After that, look at the situation, erase the essence of Gachabon, and move on to attacking Belarios.
‘If I get level 8 and take one more essence, then I’ll have to erase Stormgash as well. It’s easier to get the essence to eat at level 9 after Nogada, the layer lord.’
As we are organizing the future developnt direction like that, it feels weird all over again.
At this point, I think the middle part is definitely over.
You’ve already co this far
After a mont of sentintality, Alia asked Erwen.
“But Tercia, are you alright? I know you originally moved with the Fairy Enforcent Departnt.”
“Oh, that’s right. Are you okay?”
“That’s fine. I took a vacation a while ago.”
“vacation?”
“Yes. They won’t enter the labyrinth for a while, and if they do, they’ll move separately. So you don’t have to worry about this.”
“…if that’s the case.”
Even after that, I made plans while listening to what Erwen and Alia had to say about how the war had progressed.
And ti passed…….
「I entered the crystal cave on the 1st floor.」
The day to enter the labyrinth was bright.
***
A crystal cave with a soft purple glow.
As soon as I opened my eyes, Alia took the lead and found the way.
“Then co this way.”
“Wait a minute. If you’re looking for a way, I’d better—”
“Alia is the guide.”
“…is that the girl?”
Although Erwen had received a high level of education from her older sister to beco a professional guide, she was no longer stubborn about being a guide.
It seems a bit self-important, though.
To be honest, it was a feeling I couldn’t understand.
I also have a navigation function, but I don’t regret that I can’t use this function.
‘It’s much easier to just follow, but why?’
Well, it’s kind of weird though.
It’s a team of three people, but all three of them have the ability to find the way.
Is this just the elite minority?
Tada da dot.
Anyway, I just had to follow him, so I kept looking around while running. The atmosphere of the labyrinth I entered for the first ti after returning was very different from what I expected.
I expected to see explorers from a clan of knights with the seal of a noble family on their chests here and there…
“There are a lot more low-level explorers than I thought.”
Explorers with the sll of newbies are also spotted here and there.
In general, the expression is also on the bright side.
Because it is inside the labyrinth, there is no one who is nervous or afraid of outbreaks.
“That’s it? The royal family had a lot of policies for the explorers on the lower floors. Apparently, on that day… the top explorers died a lot…”
Listening more closely, there were more people on the 1st floor than when I was a newbie. There were many reasons.
The royal family’s policy is also a policy, but the fact that most of the large clans were disintegrated in the air was a big point.
Should I say that it has turned into a land of opportunity where all you have to do is plant a flag after the water change is complete?
A typical example was the 5th floor.
“No one controls the 5th floor…?”
“There may be, but it’s not as severe as before.”
In the case of Daimakyo, it was common for clans to occupy and monopolize fields where monsters appeared, but these days it is said to be rare.
Wouldn’t it be better to go to war then?
It seed that this tendency was exacerbated by the fact that the amount of money for participating in the war was generous, and that the royal family gave the royal family the desired number of rewards as a reward.
“You’re a step late.”
I arrived very early, but unfortunately the first floor portal had already been opened by another explorer.
So, is the official ti attack a failure this ti too?
「I have entered the beast’s den on the 2nd floor.」
While the 1st floor also failed to ti attack, there was no way it would be called the 2nd floor, so after going up to the 2nd floor, I moved with a little more ti.
After all, the schedule is free.
‘I said the deadline is until the 25th.”
The thod of recruiting troops from the royal family is very simple.
Arrive at Laemia, the island of beginnings, by the 25th.
If you are a team that has just entered the 6th floor, it will be a bit tight. It’s a period, but for the three of us, who have a free pass up to the 6th floor, it’s a different story
.
If it had been earlier, it would have been the timing to take a break, but no one asked to stop.
And as a result,
‘It’s already on the third floor…?’
By the end of the first day, I arrived at the 3rd floor.
Even on the 2nd floor, I didn’t run as fast as I did on the 1st floor
. Drink this.”
Surprisingly, seeing these two still able to afford to run like this, it seed possible that they could move faster if they
wanted
to
. I’ll be careful…….”
Hearing my warning, Erwen smiled shyly and nodded, and we slowly started preparing for camping. There
was no need for a vigil.
It was on the 3rd floor anyway…
“I can stand my alter ego, so I can sleep comfortably.”
Thanks to Alia’s [self-replication], there is no need to waste a single person.
” And Alia. After all, it’s comfortable when you’re here.”
“Don’t be particularly nervous. It’s not a big deal.”
Heh, it’s not a big deal.
It’s true that you’re suffering even if you’re an alter ego
. It’s no big deal.”
“Huh?”
“That’s right, I can do sothing similar…?”
After saying that, Erwen imdiately summoned a spirit.
Unlike before, summoning while sleeping was not particularly difficult. Is it not work? It is said that the consumption of spirit power is not burdenso.
“And if you use the spirit of darkness, you can make it difficult for monsters and other people to see. how is it? Aren’t I much better? yes? Right?”
“That’s right… You’re better.”
I wanted to refrain from comparing my peers, but I nodded my head because of the strange pressure.
But was this the answer you
wanted
? .huh? What?”
“That’s it. What I said to that woman earlier…….”
Soon after, Erwen twisted his body.
“I’m comfortable with … W: Of course… I’m the best… ..I’m the only one…”
No, I never said that.
