Chapter 88: - The Fifth Floor - 『Sage Battle』
T/N: I made a slight change in the name of the item. The change is Pill > Potion. Im sure it wont alter the way you recognize it but, in the end it still causes an inconvenience to you. For that, I apologize. As for the reason, it''s because it never specified its form (Even though I should have known this novel has an RPG setting) and it suddenly called it potion in this chapter. Nevertheless, it was my mistake. Hope you understand.
________-
Although I was already in a joyous mood after clearing the fourth floor, that joyful feeling became even stronger when I heard the continuation of the announcement from the sound of the system.
Because the subject sessfully cleared Dead Beast Jewel, a bonus reward will be given.
Nn?
"A bonus reward?"
In front of me, something that seemed to be a recovery potion appeared. Is this the said bonus reward? Well, let''s use [Appraisal] on it right away.
_____-
Full Potion
By drinking this, HP and MP will be fully recovered.
Cooldown Time: 2 hours
_____-
Looking at the result of the [Appraisal], I doubted my eyes.
"Fully recover HP and MP?!"
To the extent of unintentionally shouting like that.
However, it was something that couldnt be helped. Because a normal recovery potion only recovers a certain amount of HP and MP such as 1,000 HP and 500 MP.
In rare cases, a potion that recovers xx% of HP may be given as a dungeon reward, but even that should only recover 50% HP at the maximum. Based on that fact, you should be able to understand the greatness of the potion that could fully recover HP and MP.
By looking at the exnation, there seemed to be no level limit too. Therefore, this was undoubtedly something that even a high-level adventurer desperately wants. I was sure even 10 million yen was considered low if I sold this.
"Well, I don''t n to sell it, though. For a solo like me, potions are an indispensable thing after all. If possible, I want to have it myself."
At any rate, receiving such a bonus reward at this time was quite enough. Deep down Ive been really dissatisfied at how stingy the rewards given so far have been even though this was the long-awaited Isted Demon Tower after all.
Perhaps the reason I got this reward was because I cleared the quest that should have been set at a pretty high-difficulty, though. Also, I felt a bit guilty to clear the quest in an instant using [Transfer Within Dungeon].or not. I was very happy from the bottom of my heart.
"Anyway, let''s go to the fifth floor after taking a little rest!"
Then, with my motivation raised because of the unexpected reward, I decided to challenge the next floor.
The quest that the sound of the system told me when I arrived at the fifth floor was Sage Battle.
When I heard that, I assumed the quest would be a test of wisdom rather than physical strength like the previous ones. As excited as I was, my mind filled with a thought, looks like the time for me to show this genius brain of mine hase''.
However, the one who appeared in front of me was a huge monster or rather, it was a gori, no matter how I looked at it, undoubtedly.
And when I used [Appraisal] on it, its name seems to be Strong Arm Sage (Powerful Gori).
Its a gori after all!
By the way, the rmended level to subjugate was 10,000 which was far stronger than the monsters I''ve fought so far.
The sound of the system also told me that I could obtain an additional reward by defeating it with my bare hands. So, I decided to try achieving that for the time being.
With physical strength, keenness, and nimbleness as its strong points, the powerful gori was a pretty strong enemy. Not just once or twice its attacks had hit my body. However, my attacks were able to hit it more than that.
The main reason I was able to dominate in the fight was as expected because of the existence of skills. I think raising the level of [Gale] from Lv 6 to Lv 7 by using 3,500 SP also had an effect.
In addition to that, I also used recovery potions whenever I received some damage. In other words, I was utilizing the fact that even if using a weapon was prohibited, other items weren''t.
At first, I thought, what a barbaric quest''. But as I exchanged my fist against the Powerful Gori, we shared a mysterious world. It''s like the amount of training needed to obtain this much power was naturally transmitted as we exchanged blows. And the moment we understood that, my heart and the Powerful Goris were connected.1
Well, I killed him in the end, though. In the first ce, the Powerful Gori seemed to be a monster created by the sound of the system. Which means, it didn''t train at all. At the same time, I also thought that this was what it means to be swallowed by the mood.
Experience acquired Level has increased by 189
The fifth floor Quest Sage Battle has been cleared
The fifth floor capture reward Level has increased by 250
Bonus reward the title One Who Surpassed The Sage will be given
Thus, I was able to break through the fifth floor and obtained the title One Who Surpassed The Sage as a bonus reward. Then from here on, my level-up efficiency will be elerated.
