Chapter 221 - Episode Sixteen - High Elf Sorcerer, Devin (9)
Oooooooooh, Oooooooooh.
When I reached the innermost area of the sixth level, the identity of the mysterious sound that had been echoing within the level was revealed.
In front of the staircase to the next level was a hall, blocking the staircase was a noxious purple, stubby snake with a red-spotted pattern, lying on the floor.
The snake has no eyelids, so its eyes are open, but it seems to be asleep.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
The snore of the serpent echoed throughout the whole level.
The sound of something burning was constantly emitted from the surface of the serpent’s body, evaporating the purple smoke.
The floor underneath where the serpent was lying had turned the same purple color as the serpent.
Perhaps after the serpent had crawled around while awake, some of the floor also had depressions of the same thickness as the serpent’s, and they were stained purple.
“…… You can’t go up without tsking that guy down, huh?”
I have an idea about the identity of the serpent.
Jormungand is an A-class monster.
It is an annoying, poisonous serpent that is said to change an entire forest into a weedless, unclean place with just one piece.
“We’re still lucky for it to be asleep. …… Just getting close to it makes me feel sick.”
“No …… sleeping is an act of luxury. These guys are a pain in the ass.”
“Have you ever fought one of these magic beasts?”
“Yeah, it was a long time ago, but I remember it vaguely. With a sleeping enemy like this, it’s better to keep your distance, give them a light blow from a safe position and wake them up quickly.”
“Is that so? Mea thinks it would be better to kill him before he regains his stance, though ……”
I shook my head silently.
“I don’t know what Abel is thinking, it’s hard to know.”
Mea puffs out her cheeks in disapproval, then looks at Jormungand with wide eyes.
“Well, I’m a rule of thumb, too. I can’t explain it that well.”
I’ve seen this kind of enemy in a game from my previous life.
They would stand still at first, then wake up the moment you hit them and unleash a desperate attack.
Most of the time, the first blow is better to run away once you’ve woken them up, instead of trying to damage them badly.
This is because the first hit either doesn’t add up to any damage, or its health is so high that it doesn’t care if it gets the first unilateral attack.
Don’t think about gaining a little damage on your first attack.
It’s just a matter of exposing an opening and getting a powerful blow.
The knowledge from my previous life came useful.
I clutch the hilt of my Lapides Sword in my hand and glare at Jormungand.
The disgusting, venomous serpent is sleeping comfortably, puffing out its nose lantern.
Vaporized venom is leaking out of its nose as well as its body surface.
Now, although we’ll see how it goes, the other party is an A-ranked magic beast.
Without some power, it’s going to be difficult to wake them up.
I pointed my Lapides Sword at the ceiling and put a strong amount of magic power into it.
I quickly withdrew my hand as the sword blade was generated more than my height and was too heavy to hold.
“Go”
Pointing my finger at Jormungandr.
The Lapides Sword charged at Jormungand, spinning fast to the side.
Jormungand’s eyes turned red and increased in size slightly.
Jormungand has woken up.
He hadn’t been hit by the attack yet, but he seemed to have sensed that something was flying at him.
Vaporized venom leaked out of its open mouth, and its bright red eyesight glared at me.
It opens its fanged mouth wide and raises its head with a long tongue with two disastrous tips.
This is the king of snakes, Jormungand.
Even at this distance, it is still has a terrifying impact.
Its bright red eyesight is pointed at me, and purple drool drips from its mouth.
And in the next moment, the Lapides Sword struck Jormungand in the head.
The scales that covered Jormungand shatter, and the massive head collides with the stairs, making a loud noise as it collides.
Jormungand’s head gouged the steps of the stairs.
The entire level shook, the stairway collapsed, and Jormungand’s head was neatly underneath it.
Jormungand’s tail wagged painfully from side to side for a little while, but it soon stopped.
“…… Didn’t Abel say that you should first lightly hit him with a blow to wake him up?”
“…… Looks like I didn’t need to.”
Nalgarn, another A-class monster beast, I didn’t have much trouble with it, so there might not be any reason to be wary of dealing with magic beasts in the future.
However, it’s painful to see the stairs collapsed because of Jormungand.
“Do you want to go back to back……?”
“Oh, no, taking care of that wreckage …… is a pain in the ass because there are poisonous snakes. Let’s make a staircase by drilling a hole elsewhere. I’d like to have some straightforward loot other than the phantom copper Orichalcos, but Jormungand is too toxic to bring back or use for anything else ……”
“If you keep playing with the wards, it might be time to break the seal of Altamir, you know? We’re on the sixth floor, you know?”
“It’s all right. I’m getting the hang of it, too. This time, I’m going to make a small hole in the wall without breaking the boundaries, and I’m going to build a staircase.”
There is no way to come to the front of the stairs and return home.
The seventh level is the real top floor, except for the eighth level where Altamir is. I want to see the seventh level.
To tell the truth, I would like to see the eighth level as well, and I would like to see Altamir, but it could lead to tormenting Lark-san, the Unhappy Lord.
I don’t want to cause too much trouble for Lark. I can’t help but feel that it’s a little too late, but I’m sure it’s still acceptable.
Clonk, clonk, clonk, clonk, the sound of footsteps echoes through the air.
I turn around to see an elf staring at me with his odd-eyed red eyes.
The elf looks at me silently and grins.
The vestments are not particularly scratched or stained, although they seem to have been attacked in some way as he is dragging his feet.
It seems to be that he was hit by some kind of magic beast through the vestments.
“Fufu…… I’ve finally caught up with you. It seems like a dead end. There’s no way to escape now.”
The Elf laugh.
But it would not be laughing from the heart.
The proof of this is that the eyes are not smiling.
The red left eye seemed to be caged with the flame of resentment.
