Level Eater-Chapter 130: The boss is...

Jeanne opens the door with her nose, and the other members follow suit and enter the room.

Once inside, the door was closed, and the floor of the spacious room was covered with plants that looked artificial and resembled a thicket of grass, and the walls were covered with ivy and moss that looked as if they had been made by hand.

The ceiling of the room was painted with a pattern of the sky, and for some reason, natural light was illuminating the room from there.

"We are in a strange place again." (Ai)

"It all looks Artificial, but the wind and light feel natural. What's this?" (Tatsuro)

"That's true, but…is the boss here?" (Ai)

"Ah, now that you mention it, that was the purpose, right?" (Tatsuro)

Tatsuro was so distracted by the strange atmosphere in the room that he forgot about the boss for a moment.

However, even after using Dispel magic, Tatsuro couldn't find anything, and when he was wondering what was going on, he noticed a black vortex in the room that looked exactly like the Imomu generator that Nana destroyed on the fifth floor but was much bigger than that. Suddenly appeared in the center.

"Does that mean the boss will come out from there?" (Ai)

"Looks like it. I wonder what kind of stuff will come out." (Tatsuro)

As the two of them were saying this, the black vortex itself changed shape and took on the appearance of a monster.

And then it appeared.

"Ah, what is that!?" (Ai)

"Big……" (Tatsuro)

"It's not possible." (Nana)

That's right, a two-meter-long shining golden Imomu had made its grand entrance there.

"So, you idiot! Why is it an Imomu after all!?" (Ai)

"After all, that was definitely the Imomu generator. As expected of that." (Tatsuro)

"Even though it's so extravagant, it doesn't feel like it has any strength at all, which is actually amazing!" (Ai)

For some reason, Golden Imomu was in a good mood and was doing the Uneune dance despite being told so many things. (T/N: The dungeon boss is dancing???)

Tatsuro, wondering if he was being teased by this appearance, fired a laser that he had moderated its power, but for some reason, the power was weaker than he had expected, and the area it hit was only slightly scorched.

The burnt spots gradually faded and the skin returned to its original golden color.

Sensing something strange, Tatsuro immediately fires lasers of the same power multiple times at Golden Imomu, which is dancing the Uneune dance, but all of them are fired in a weakened state.

"Why have you been bullying the Imomu for a while now?" (Ai)

"I'm not bullying it. For some reason, when I shoot my magic at it, it becomes weaker. That's why I was experimenting." (Tatsuro)

"Maybe it's because of that creepy cute dance." (Ai)

"Is...Cute?" (Tatsuro)

"Is it...cute?" (Nana)

Thinking that he and Nana had something to talk to Ai about next time about aesthetics, Tatsuro walked over to close the distance to use [Level Eater] on the Golden Imomu, who was undulating without getting bored and showed no sign of performing other actions.

Then, it stopped dancing, opened its mouth, and spit out a golden thread towards Tatsuro.

Tatsuro had already learned this behavior in the Amneri Great Forest, so he easily avoided it by shifting to the side, and since he had gone through the trouble, Tatsuro used wind magic to wind it up and retrieve the golden threads.

If he had just arrived here, he probably wouldn't have had this much leeway, but now, even though it was big, he didn't have any fear towards the Imomu.

When it stopped moving, the magic had not weakened, so this time Tatsuro collected the golden thread without even trying to dodge it.

When Tatsuro got close, he used Level Eater.

----------------------------------

Level: 8

Skills: [Golden Body], [Body Attack Lv.1], [Golden Thread Spitting Lv.3]

[Bite Lv.2], [Self-Regeneration Lv.3], [Reduction Area Lv.2]

----------------------------------

([Golden Body] ……The fact that the system is calling it a color means it is not real gold. So, [Reduction Area]? The fact that it is not limited to magical power or energy means that overall It probably means that power will decrease. This time, there was no problem because a weak monster was using it alone, but if there is one in the back row that can use it and a powerful monster in the front row, it could be quite troublesome.)

----------------------------------

Level: 8

Skills: [Golden Body], [Body Attack Lv.0], [Golden Thread Spitting Lv.0]

[Bite Lv.0], [Self-Regeneration Lv.0], [Reduction Area Lv.0]

----------------------------------

Tatsuro kept the levels to pass on to others and only got all the skill levels.

When he tried to return to where Ai and the others were, Imomu was about to attack him with no skill correction.

Tatsuro became annoyed by this, so he took out the hexagonal board that spits out the thread that Nana had picked up from the [Item Box], filled it with a lot of magical power, and fired it at the Golden Imomu.

Then a large amount of thread was released from the board, and using Tatsuro's wind magic in combination, it was made into a bamboo wrapper, and when it was stuck, it was rolled around with the threads and brought in front of Ai and the others.

"You brought it here in great condition." (Ai)

"I don't care how much you call it Imomu, it looks dangerous even if it's this big when it's pressed up against you. However, a demon this size can be easily packed, and this threading tool might be more useful than I thought." (Tatsuro)

"A threading tool? That's not a cute way to put it. Well, even if that's fine for now, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to get it because it's a rare color?"

"No, I don't need it. Because it looks like the only color is gold." (Tatsuro)

"I know, right?" (Ai)

"I'm starting to feel sorry for that monster..." (Nana)

Nana couldn't help but feel pity for the pitiful monster, who was trapped, mistreated, and moving around.

However, it is ironic that Nana is also at the lowest level, so she had no hesitation in putting a stop to the treatment.

|||||Skill point (1) has been granted. |||||

The moment they defeated Golden Imomu with [Dragon Drain] Tatsuro, Ai, Cardina, and Jeanne, who were in a party with Nana, were also given (1) SP. Furthermore, Nana has risen to level 4.

Then, in the middle of the room, where the Golden Immomu first appeared, a glowing reservoir appeared across the floors.

"If we go in there, we should be able to go to the exit room." (Tatsuro)

"It was kind of a bummer." (Ai)

"Better than dangerous." (Tatsuro)

He wanted to go to the exit as soon as possible, but to get the boss's loot, Tatsuro took the golden Imomu carcass out of the threads and analyzed it, and found that it had nothing to do with the precious metal gold, only with its golden surface.

So he burned the body and recovered only a dark blue magic stone, about 10 centimeters in size.

Tatsuro also examined the gold thread that he had recovered earlier, just to be sure, but unfortunately, he found out that it was no different from normal Imomu thread, except that it was gold in color.

So, while Tatsuro was fiddling with it while wondering whether or not to throw it away, the thread came into contact with the thread tool that he had kept under his arm instead of putting it away in the Item Box, and the thread was sucked into it.

"Huh? The golden thread went somewhere." (Tatsuro)

"Ah...it looks like it's inside the tool." (Ai)

"Now that it's in, will I be able to get it out?" (Tatsuro)

Based on Ai's simple and clear theory, Tatsuro thought that was the case, and put magical power into the thread tool, and the amount of gold thread that far exceeded the amount that had been sucked out earlier came out.

Everyone was surprised by this, and Tatsuro poured more magic power into it, stopping when the room was covered in gold thread.

"It seems like it can now produce golden threads." (Tatsuro)

"If that happens, what kind of effect will it have?" (Ai)

"………it does make it look flashy?" (Tatsuro)

""Ah……""

"Let's go home..." (Tatsuro)

"Yeah" (Ai)

"Pewee" (Cardina)

"Neigh" (Jeanne)

"Desu-o" (Nana)

There was a strange atmosphere in the air, so Tatsuro immediately put it away in his [Item Box] and walked briskly toward the exit of the floor.

The other members followed suit, and they all jumped into the glowing pool. freewёbnoνel.com

Then, this time, they found themselves in a simple space with no grass or trees, just a wall made of some kind of white metal.

There was a staircase leading upwards, and when Tatsuro looked up, he saw a film of glowing water that made it impossible to see what was ahead.

However, Tatsuro had learned in advance that this was the exit, so he had Jeanne and Cardina transform into [ Child Form], and then they all climbed the stairs and went out to the top as if breaking a membrane of water.

Although it was as bright as daytime inside the dungeon, night had already fallen outside, and the surrounding area was illuminated only by moonlight and a small amount of artificial light.

"Hmmm. we made it back safely to where we came from." (Ai)

"Ah, but even though the journey was easy, I am tired because I had to walk all the way." (Tatsuro)

"What are we going to do? There seems to be a simple inn nearby, should we stay there and then leave?" (Ai)

"Ah... But that place was really too simple, and the room was like a bunch of random people sleeping together, right? If that was the case, it would be more comfortable to camp out in the open, so let's just eat something at the stall and leave. " (Tatsuro)

"I see. Indeed, you can't sleep peacefully with strangers nearby. Besides..." (Ai)

Ai paused, and with a big smile on her face, she squeezed Tatsuro's hand.

"This will help relieve your fatigue, right?" (Ai)

"Ah, that's right." (Tatsuro)

Tatsuro had planned to recover his strength at once with Life magic, but that idea was quickly dispelled as he grabbed Ai's hand and walked toward a stall that was still open for business, even though it was late at night.

Cardina the baby bird, Jeanne the little rhinoceros, and Nana the little girl in a kimono all followed behind them, looking at their friendly relationship with a mixture of envy and joy.

Then they filled my stomach with something they were not familiar with, something subtle like a kind of yakisoba noodles with a lot of water, which they did not understand, and asked Jeanne to take them to my next destination.

The closest dungeon from here is the level 3 dungeon, so they would have liked to go there, but since it is the main spot for this dungeon tour, they head for another level 1 dungeon, although it is a bit of a detour.

On the way, Nana spoke for Caldina and Jeanne and told Tatsuro and Ai that they would stay asleep as they would handle the night.

"We're not in such a hurry, so we can stop somewhere and get some sleep, okay? Even Nana and the others are constantly on the move, aren't they?" (Ai)

"We don't get tired like you do. So as long as you fill up our magical power beforehand, we'll be fine." (Nana)

"Hmm, it would certainly be nice to be able to move around while you're sleeping, saving you time...What should we do, Tatsuro?" (Ai)

"......Okay, I understand. For now, I'll ask you to try it. If the time comes that I have to force my way forward, I'll have no choice but to ask, and I have plenty of time to see what it will be like. It might be a good idea to try it once in a while. So, can I ask you to do it?" (Tatsuro)

"Pewee" (Cardina)

"Neigh" (Jeanne)

"Desu-o" (Nana)

Impressed by how Cardina and the others were able to clearly express their intentions with the addition of Nana, who was able to convey words accurately, Tatsuro replenished the three bodies' magical powers to their full capacity.

Even if Tatsuro and Ai were going to sleep, they still wanted to take a bath, so they sat in the driver's seats until they reached a deserted place, prepared for the bath, and left the guard to Cardina and others. The two quickly entered and changed into their nightgowns and went into the private room of the rhinoceros carriage.

Then they heard Jeanne's cry with Nana on board, and she started moving while gradually increasing her speed.

"Hmm, are you okay?" (Ai)

"I gave them a map on paper, and they're all quick-witted kids, so I'll trust them. And even if we wake up and find ourselves in a completely different place, that's okay." (Tatsuro)

"I see...that's right!" (Ai)

The two of them had such a conversation while lying on a mat that was spread out in the loft that had been built into their private room, and after kissing each other goodnight, they held hands and went to bed.

They were mentally exhausted, probably because they had done something they were not used to doing, and they soon began to sleep soundly and slept soundly until morning. When they check their current location using the map function, they find out that they are quite close to their next destination

So Tatsuro asked them to go to a place where they could stop once to replenish their magic power and take a rest including breakfast, and after praising and petting the three kids, they set out again and arrived at their destination before noon.

The place was not much different from the previous dungeon, with similar stalls and simple lodgings, and at the dungeon entrance, there was a place to buy and sell looted items.

Tatsuro and his team bought a few skewers of meat and vegetables that could be eaten while walking at a store and then jumped into the level 1 dungeon feeling like they were having a picnic.

There, a desert area spread out.

""Ah""

As these words escaped Tatsuro and Ai's mouths, the temperature was so high that sweat began to seep out from their bodies covered in armor and coats.

However, magical creatures seem to be resistant to cold and heat, and despite Cardina's feathers, Jeanne's thick skin, and Nana's tight-fitting kimono, they stood calmly next to them without shedding a single sweat.

"I never thought it would be this hot..." (Tatsuro)

"Yeah...I wish the dungeon wouldn't have carefully recreated this part..." (Ai)

Even though they were inside a dungeon, the sun was shining directly above them, scorching the earth without making a slight movement.

Feeling disgusted by such a dazzling presence, Tatsuro used wind magic to cool himself down, even if only for a little while, and used water magic to hydrate Ai and himself.

It was no laughing matter that they were about to collapse from dehydration and not monsters.

"Okay. There's no point in standing still in a place like this. Let's conquer it quickly." (Tatsuro)

"It's a bit too hot for us normal humans. Can I take off my armor?" (Ai)

"I think you should wear some clothes, just in case." (Tatsuro)

"Well, you should also wear a coat too so that you won't get hurt no matter what happens." (Nana)

"Uh. Yes..." (Ai)

After being admonished by Tatsuro and Nana, Ai reluctantly lowered the hand that was trying to remove the armor, and they all started walking slowly on the sandy ground.
