Chapter 126: Suzuka Dungeon

Basically, the higher the difficulty level of a dungeon, the number of floors also increases, and the deeper the floor, the wider the area. And when it comes to a B-rank dungeon, that tendency was relatively obvious.

In fact, Suzuka Dungeon boasts a total of 50 floors. It was a number of floors that takes a day, or maybe even a few days if one is unlucky to capture.

However, of course it was only if you tried capturing it the normal way

"It's only been several tens of minutes since I entered, but I've arrived at a quite low floor."

About several tens of minutes after moving using [Transfer Within Dungeon], I muttered so.

Currently, I was on the 30th floor, a floor where others would take several hours to reach. But when I was about to move to the 31st floor using [Transfer Within Dungeon] just like before, something happened.

"Kishaa!"

"Mu"

Something approached me with a strange sound. And I kicked the ground reflectively to evade it.

Then, something in red pierced the space where I stood earlier before returning to its original place while generating a weird noise.

When I looked at it, there stood a huge lizard covered with rock-like scales, which I promptly used [Appraisal] on.

Rock Lizard

Recommended level to subjugate: 8,000

A lizard-shaped monster that is covered in rock scales. The rock hard scales can deflect an attack by a blade and magic characteristically.

" Fumu. Rock Lizard. Recommended level to subjugate is 8,000, huh"

I was lucky enough to not encounter any monster until this floor but looks like I finally encountered one here. Nonetheless, frankly, I still could go to the next floor using Time Zero but

"Since weve already met, I guess I will fight it."

If I only subdued dungeon bosses, I might get too used to it and start fighting without using my head. That's why I always wanted to fight new types of monsters.

"Greed!"

From the [Item Box], I summoned a dagger with a transparent shining blade as its characteristic Magic-Plundering Dagger. The description indeed said that an attack by using a blade is not effective, but trying it is free anyway.

Besides

Nameless Swordsman

Title given to ones who have overcome difficulties using only his own power and a sword without relying on others.

When the title holder levels up, the ability of the equipped sword-type weapon will also be improved.

I also wanted to fight while equipping a weapon as much as possible in order to exert the effect of this title after all.

At any rate, one thing or another, I was ready. Therefore, immediately,

"Here I go."

After exhaling a little, I rushed toward the Rock Lizard.

"Shaa!"

Along with a sound that lingered in my ears, the Rock Lizard released its red tongue that was as sharp as a spear. If I got hit by it, I would undoubtedly suffer some damage. However

"Too slow"

For the current me, such an attack is not a threat.

After evading it in a light step, I swiftly brandished Greed.

"Gyaa!"

Its tongue was severed in just one blow, causing the Rock Lizard to raise a silent squeal, which signalled my chance to attack!

"Haa!"

Naturally, I wasn't going to just stupidly attack its scales. I rained it with sharp slashes, aiming at the gap between its scales.

And my plan succeeded in inflicting a deep laceration on the body beneath the scales, also causing several scales that simultaneously had been peeled off by that attack to fly through the air.

After that, I just needed to stab my blade into the exposed body-part where the scales had just been peeled off. That was the plan, but there is no way the Rock Lizard would give up just like that.

"Kisha!"

"tsu"

As if an explosion had occurred inside the body of the Rock Lizard, the scales that protected its body were ejected, with dozens of those rock-hard scales flying towards me.

"Time Zero!"

In an instant, I took a distance from the Rock Lizard and evaded the attack. Although I was surprised at that counterattack, with this, there were no more scales to protect its body.

Thus, this time for real, all I have to do is attack it once

" Hou"

Right after I thought that, rock scales grew back all at once from the body of the Rock Lizard.

In the blink of an eye, the Rock Lizard returned to its original appearance.

"So it even has the ability to regenerate those scales, huh. No, if the scales returned just like its original state, maybe it cant be called regeneration? Well, whatever. But now that it has become like this, it cannot be helped."

After storing Greed back to the [Item Box], I clenched my right fist and lightly punched my left palm. As a result, a pleasant sound of hitting one hand resounded.

"If it can even prevent such a two-step attack of peeling off its scales before delivering the finishing blow, then I just have to get rid of it in one shot, right? Cladding Barrier!"

A transparent barrier surrounded my body. Furthermore, I activated Time Zero and appeared right above the Rock Lizard. And then

"Eat this!"

I punched it with all my might.

The fist of the sage easily crushed the scales of the Rock Lizard and directly pierced its body.

"Yosh, I managed to do it"

In that manner, I succeeded in subjugating the Rock Lizard.
