Let's Be An Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons With A Skill Board~ Chapter 4 Part2

Translator : LN&WN Warrior

I aim for the two house centipedes that have slightly preceded and move at once.
I feel my knife tear it off and penetrate its brain.
This is the first one.

The other one responded at that time and turned its small fang to Haruki.

However, Haruki calmly rotated his body.
He pulled out the knife and accelerated.
He kicked the ground and stepped into the crowd.

He pushed out his knife by holding it in backhand's way, but he missed his aim.
This was unavoidable because he didn't have eyes on his back.

But he didn't give up and pursued it with his left fist.
It hit the house centipede's head directly without aiming.

At that moment.

"Wow!"

The house centipede's head was cracked.
It feels good when my left fist in contact with its crust.

House centipede's crust is hard.

It should be hard enough not stucked by the knife's tip.
But I can break it with a fist.

"Is it because of growth acceleration, that is weird......"

His diverted awareness returned to the battle and selected the next opponent.
This time was three monsters.

House centipede's too long leg hindered the shrinking of the encirclement.
Therefore, two monster was the limit of the simultaneous attacker from the same direction.

Haruki faced house centipedes while paying attention to attack from the ground, the wall, the ceiling, and the whole s.p.a.ce.

The fight with 5 house centipedes was easier than expected.
On the day I fought with the house centipede for the first time, my breath become heavy just to kill one of them, but now it still stable even after I defeat 5 of them.

Besides, I smashed one of house centipedes' crusts with my left fist.

"This looks like not my body"

Haruki frowned while gazing at his hand.

What does the person, who said house centipede is scary, think about my power?
Someday, let's ask if I have a chance.

The remaining one was not moving a step from the center of the hall.
Perhaps it fainted when I hit it with a pebble. Quickly I stab its head with my knife while it couldn't move.

"As expected, it is thanks to growth acceleration... isn't it?"

Haruki has never experienced such growth in just two days.

Haruki was a beginner about two months after becoming an adventurer.
In "Chikho", the most numerous among adventurers are beginners; they constantly struggled for existing monsters.
Therefore, only about 15 monsters could be hunted even if they devoted them self for five hours.

I hunted not less than 200 monsters by yesterday.
Will it be possible to feel my growth by hunting 200 monsters?

Now, there is no way to prove it.

I grew up to a level where I could overwhelm house centipedes in one day.
However, it will not grow at the same speed in the future.

It is the same as the role-playing game, the stronger I get, the slower the growth.

In addition, with the current Haruki, his strength would reach its limit even if his physical performance increases.
At some point, I have to get someone to learn proper swordsmans.h.i.+p.

There are many things that I want to do.
But, it is necessary to advance anyway.

Looking at the knife at my hand, it is due to over hunting yesterday; its blade has chipped considerably.
The leather armor has no damage, but it is full of scratches from their bites.

Let's start with new weapons.

How much will it spent...?
Haa, a heavy sigh leaked out of Haruki's mouth.

"Okay!"

Recovering his sense, Haruki disposed of house centipedes.

I can see the downstairs in the pa.s.sage behind the hall.
As expected, this place seems treated as a boss room.
But, there is no boss......

"There are things I want to confirm if the boss is here"

I will confirm it thoroughly in the future.

Placing the materials in the hall for a moment, I go to check the situation on the second floor.

"......but, before that"

Before descending, I make skill board appear to confirm the points.

Skill Point : 0

"I don't get points even if I defeated the boss room's monsters"

I didn't receive points because my opponents are weaklings.
Or, I will not receive it even if I beat the boss.

Either way, I don't get any point even after I cleared the first floor.

"Well someday I will receive it"

Certainly.
Probably.

In that way, if he gathered up his small hopes his adventure would be fun anywhere.
It was enough to bet a life.

But as he could lose it one day,
He would grasp the hopes lightly.

After finis.h.i.+ng the confirmation, Haruki hummed as he headed to the second floor.

The second floor has the same terrain as the first floor.

The area is expanded by 1.1 fold every time it goes down by one floor.
It seems nothing, but if you dive to the 50th floor, the size will exceed 100 times the first floor.
Even a small change can't be trifled.

The terrain directly changes start from the 10th floor, afterward is commonly called the middle tier.

If you become active in the middle tier, you can clearly break out of being the beginner's adventurer, but the adventurer who can get down to the middle tier remains at 10% of the total now.

A job as an adventurer is drawing all people, the floors' information of the middle tier onward mostly don't spread.
Even in the blog of "Let's Be", the strategies for attacks from the middle tier and beyond don't come out easily.

That's because materials from the middle tier are expensive.

The adventurers are treated as freelancers.
They resemble employees of businessmen.

There is no one who purposely wants to teach rival how to make money.

If it isn't possible to earn money from middle tier materials, the strategy will spread all at once.
If so, the proportion of intermediate adventurers will also increase.

Until then the information is firmly dominated by the strong.
Because I pioneered by betting my life, this kind of reward should be forgiven.

Anyway, it's the second floor.

What kind of monsters are coming out.
It will be nice if it isn't house centipede.

As he was slowly walking on the stairs, Haruki's eyes caught the long and thin green on the ground.
The ground was slightly swollen, and the white one could be seen from the tip.

"What is it?"

Is it reacted to my voice? The gra.s.s-like green shakes to the left and the right.

At that moment.
A round object of basketball size jumped out from the ground.

The roots were extending from the bottom its round body slowly moved.
Thin vertical lines ran on its body.

I can't look it with my eyes.
It may be a type of monster that responds to sounds and vibrations just like house centipede.

Haruki has seen this figure of course.
"......it's onion!!"
