Chapter 084
“It’s good that you were able to send a blow to it Lena . ”
Yu glanced at Lena . Clearly it was because of the quadruple third rank 【Black Magic】,《Raging Thunder》 . Lena clearly tried to break trough her limit .
Nina was also sitting, taking a rest . Fortunately there was no need to worry about other monsters coming to the boss room .
Nina was letting Lena use her thighs as a pillow while Marifa was stroking Sukke and Coro’s heads .
“Alright, let’s start the treatment . ”
Yu approached Eckart who was sitting down on the ground and was smiling as usual .
“Gushishi, looks like there is no problem defeating a named monster . With Yu covering our backs, we can defeat a rank 5 monster . ”
“It’s because you were here to help . If I were alone it would’ve been hard . ”
Eckart truly suffered serious injuries . Fractured bones that had popped out of his left arm, several broken ribs and finally due to the 《Storm Lance》that had managed to hit him, his innards had came out .
Yu moved to his flank and while utilizing 《Heal》 pushed his intestine inwards . Although 《Heal》 could treat wounds, the pain wasn’t alleviated . Eckart let out a voice of distress .
“Heh, I never thought that as a shield bearer you could let out a groan like that . ”
“Something that hurts would still hurt no matter if you are a shield bearer or not . ”
“So, when treating Lalit there is no need to cast 《Heal》 . ”
“Eh? How come, my ribs are also broken . I’ve been waiting for you to treat me . ”
“Gushishishi . Lalit, are you afraid of the pain? Come, I’ll lend you my shield . ”
Lalit turned pale hearing Yu and Eckart’s jokes . After Eckart’s treatment was done, Yu proceeded onto Lalit next .
From behind, Nina came and clung to Yu .
“Hehehe, I noticed and Lena explained . ”
“What is it?”
“When I was attacked, you protected me with a 【Barrier】 . That’s your doing right?”
“Yes . ”
“Hehehe . I always knew you are kind . ”
Yu then walked towards Marifa while dragging Nina that was clinging to his back . He was going to see how Coro and Sukke were . They were breathing vigorously while crouching on the ground .
“Marifa, how is Coro and Sukke’s condition?”
“In the battle, they were not attacked but the battle seemed to take its toll on their mentality . They are not able to stand up on their own . ”
Yu examined Coro and Sukke’s statuses . There was no abnormal state .
“Maybe… they’re going to rank up . ”
Lena who had regained her consciousness came to Yu’s side although she was still walking unsteadily .
(TL note: so it seemed she passed out after pushing her limit)
“But, shouldn’t it have occurred already if they leveled up?”
“About that, the phenomenon of rank up is not completely understood . There are various theories and even eating monste cores can cause them to rank up . ”
(Tl note: sometimes the author mentioned the magic stone as monster core so they might be the same thing lol)
Lena finished saying that but needed to catch her breath .
“Master, look at Coro and Sukke . ”
When Marifa said that, Coro and Sukke’s bodies were glowing, enveloped by light . After the blinding light disappeared, they still stood there but their figures were different .
Coro’s body had become slightly larger and was covered by jet black fur . Its tail became thick like a fox’s . Sukke in contrast had turned white and fluffy like a sheep .
“Oh, this is the first time I saw a monster rank up . The white one is a Sheep wolf and the black one, a Shadow wolf . Both of them are rank 3 monster . ”
“This is my first time seeing it too . ”
When the rank up was completed, the two wolves became healthy and started moving around .
“Coro, don’t lick master’s face . Sukke! Don’t come inside my skirt!”
The two that had regained their health, were playing around without listening to what Marifa had to say .
“It’s so fluffy…”
“Coro and Sukke’s tails are so fluffy . ”
Yu and Marifa couldn’t do anything except wait for the two wolves to settle down . In the mean time Lalit was collecting the materials and magic stones .
“Yu, there’s so much thing to gather . The ⌈Elder Treant⌋ dropped a magic stone of rank 5 but you said it is important to gather the branches too . Why is that?”
“When I saw the ⌈Elder Treant⌋ utilizing wind spell, it came to me that it was actually produced by its branches . ”
“Hoo . . so it can actually do that?”
“Well, there is a probability but we don’t know yet . If it can be sold, I’ll split the gold . ”
“Well, I don’t care about that since we already got a big haul here . Eckart, how is it?”
“Yeah, although it’s not a perfect magic stone but it should sell for at least 300 gold coins . ”
They also still hadn’t opened the treasure chest that was left after defeating the boss .
—————–
Silver Spear (Grade 4): Power strike
Poison Axe (Grade 5): there is a chance to inflict poison upon attack
Branch of the sacred tree (Grade 4): Mysterious branches, there is a trace of spiritual power

“Eckart, what are you going to do? Your Shield of Black Steel is broken . ”
“Don’t worry, I can still fight . ”
“Alright, then I’ll recast 【Enchant Magic】 . ”
“Ho Hoo . ”
“… . all right . ”
“Come to me~ . ”
Nina and the others said it cheerfully but Lalit and Eckart’s expressions seemed discouraged .
“This is a dungeon that no one has entered before . Let’s take it easy . ”
“I agree with Lalit . ”
Even though they said that, it still became a hell for Lalit and Eckart . From the 14F, monsters of rank 4 mixed with monsters of rank 5 started appearing . 「Murder Beetle」with its powerful attacks, 「Green Slime」that used poison, 「Mad Mantis」 with their paralysing sharp schytes, 「Dragon Fly」that could fly and attacked from above and 「Bloody Treant」that could cause a bleeding status .
Lalit was suffering from the wide variety of attacks while Eckart had already prepared himself for death several times . However under Yu’s care, they weren’t allowed to fall down . By the time they entered the 16F, they had stopped talking . At the 18F, their eyes had lost all colour . At 20F they had turned into complete killing machines, slaughtering monsters without any other feelings .
Finally, they arrived at the 22F where the teleport pedestal was .
“Alright, let’s take a break and enter . I’ll recast 【Enchant Magic】again . ”
“Wait wait wait!”
Lalit who hadn’t showed any emotions till now, cried out loudly .
“Lalit, what is wrong?”
“I think we have had enough for today . I have leveled up twice . I don’t know about you but this is definitely strange . ”
“Yeah, I also think that it’s enough for today . . ”
Due to their desperate pleas Yu gave in . Lalit had leveled up two times and Eckart three . This was because Yu was fighting all monsters that came their way without bothering to flee, dodge, or avoid them .
They returned to the entrance using the teleport pedestal . At the entrance they found out that a 【Barrier】 had already been erected . Joseph had seen them coming and went to welcome them .
When they returned to the Adventurer’s Guild, many people welcomed them .
“Lalit, you’ve done it . Finally you are a C rank!”
“Eckart, you’re also a C rank . Congratulations!”
“Nina-chan, marry me!”
“Lena-chan, how about having a meal with me . ”
“Yu, please go out with me . ”
That last sentence was said by Joseph who was teasing Yu but it was completely ignored . Lalit and Eckart were receiving the praise while crying . But it wasn’t out of joy . It was because they were relieved to be back to Comer city .
“I managed to return alive!”
