Chapter 91: Onward to the 11th Floor!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

「If you do visit your brother, I’m coming with you. We two are stuck together!」

After saying that, Emma left as she had business to take care of. I was the only left in the house. Not wanting to feel lonely, I decided to go out to see my master.

I entered the hidden dungeon after saying the password. I then proceeded to take down some golden slimes on the 1st floor with my【Stone Bullet】. As soon as I stepped into the 2nd floor, a delighted voice rang inside my head.

『Long time~ Oh, Noir, you neglected me again to satisfy your masochistic desires.』

「Why do you always have to turn everything sexual?」

『Is it too much for a boy in puberty? If I could move, I’d give you a lot of LP too, you know. I’d do this and that.』

I felt ashamed for imagining it for a split second. Then again, Master is pretty and sexy so it was understandable. But that is neither here nor there. I talked to Master about her chains.

「You’ve helped me a lot Master, so I want to help remove those chains for you.」

When I told her my honest feelings, she went silent. Is she crying? I could hear her sobbing.

『I… I… I’m so happy to have a great disciple! But I’m fine like this for a while, Noir-kun. You should prioritize clearing this dungeon first before worrying about me.』

So she was saying to think about myself first before others. That’s just like her. Without a moment’s delay, I asked for advice on the 11th floor; advice on how to withstand the scorching heat, and how to deal with that clearly dangerous fish.

After explaining the situation to her, she asked me to tell her all about my abilities.

『It’s your chance to tell your master “I didn’t just grow down there, you know.”』

「Your true intentions are slipping out, you horny Master.」

While feeling a tad uncomfortable with the dirty jokes, I told her all my abilities as of the moment.

Level 127

Current Weapons:

Two-Edged Sword (Strong Edge, Good Luck), Hatchet of Divine Retribution (Strong Edge, Wolf Sfloor A), Piercing Spear (Pierce), Champion’s Shield (Durable, Fire Resistance A, Water Resistance A, Wind Resistance A), Nameless Hammer (Stone Crush)

Skills:

【Great Sage】【Create】【Grant】【Edit】【LP Conversion】【LP Conversion-Gold】【LP Conversion-Item】【Stone Bullet】【White Flame】【Purple Lightning】【Water Ball】【Flash】【Throwing B】【Appraisal】【Item Appraisal】【Different Dimension Storage C】【Dungeon Portal】【Purification】【Excavation】【Back Step Reinforcement】【Ukemi】【Magic Fusion】【Deodorization】【Shoulder Rub】【Night Eyes】【Headache Resistance】【Paralysis Resistance】【Abnormal Condition Recovery C】【Courage】【Hearing Protection】【Dancing】【Diving】【No Breathing】

Phew! Now I’m exhausted from all that.

『Ohh, you’ve gotten strong, Noir-kun. You have quite a lot of skills, too.』

「Yes. I guess the problem is not one of them is that powerful.」

『Well nothing we can do about that since you have to occasionally use Edit and Grant as well. How much LP do you have left?』

「Around 12,000.」 I said confidently.

『Oh, great job!』 she said, genuinely impressed.

Emma, Laura-san, Luna-san, Layla-san, my sister Alice, and Elna-sensei. It was mostly thanks to them that my LP kept increasing.

『Since you have that much, I suggest you learn【Heat Resistance】first. You don’t have to go for an S rank one. Next you can learn some powerful ice or water type skills.』

First I learned【Heat Resistance A】which cost 2,000 LP. Next are two ice type skills, as Master recommended.

【Ice Needle】cost 400 LP to create. You can use it to fire icicles much like my【Stone Bullet】. It was weak as it is so I edited it to increase their size and damage which cost an additional 1,000 LP.

【Ice Sphere】 cost 500 LP. I think it’s safe to assume that it’s the ice version of the 【Flame Sphere】skill. While the flame version burns, this one freezes. I edited the skill to increase the size and made it so that its freezing radius increases with its size as well. All in all it required another 1,200 LP.

『Both are lower-rank skills but editing them should raise their power to about mid-rank to high-rank even.』

All that cost me a total of 5,100 LP which means I’ve used almost half of my LP. It was quite the splurge, but if I master them, they should come handy in combat.

『Noir-kun, if you encounter a strong enemy, don’t hesitate to use your LP, all right?』

「I understand. We only have one life, after all.」

『Exactly!』

Her tone was cheerful. I gave her a thumbs up and said my thanks for the advice. As I was about to leave, Master stopped me, flustered, which was unusual for her.

『You should be a lot more careful from here on out. You said it’s getting more difficult as you go deeper.』

「You’re genuinely worried about me. This is unusual.」

『Oh, come on now~. I always worry about you~.』

「That didn’t sound very heartfelt though. But I’ll be more careful.」

「I’m a coward. My motto is safety first. You know that, right?」 I said, trying to ease her worries, then activated my【Dungeon Portal】to make it to the 11th floor.

As soon as I made it to the entrance, I could feel the stifling heat enveloping my whole body. Damn, it’s really sweltering in here. But thanks to my new skill, I felt a lot better than before. 【Heat Resistance A】helped one to withstand heat. It also prevented the body from overheating and sweating too much. The risk of dehydration was low. It seemed to be active longer in places like this.

The 11th floor was quite spacious, but the large boulders made it difficult to see ahead. The gray path was jagged and uneven, making it hard to walk on. To top it off, this floor had blazing magma.

All right, first things first. I have to watch out for that thing—the terrifying monster with a level over 250.
