Chapter 232 – Tutorial 55th Floor (1)
Editor: Yui
“What? Is it over already?”
I think it ended too soon.
I felt empty because it ended more easily than I expected.
The theme of the 55th floor stage was simple.
To save Young-ae from the curse, I have to challenge the worst sealed dungeon to retrieve the jewels hidden at the heart of the dungeon.
I was counting on this stage not because of the concept behind it, but because of what Kirikiri told me before entering the stage.
When I told Kirikiri that I would be back soon, she had said that I might not be able to meet her soon.
She sounded very confident, so I guessed that the difficulty of the 55th floor stage was quite high.
But it was too easy.
Dungeons, which were filled constantly, crawling creatures that kept trying to hide in corners, were obviously tricky.
It would have been a pretty tough dungeon for someone else, but not for me.
The fact that Kirikiri said it would take a long time to clear was strange.
I check the time, and it has been less than a day since I entered the stage.
“Ahbooboo, look around for any hidden thing around you.”
[It looks normal.]
“Are you sure?”
[I’m sure]
Hearing Ahbooboo say this, I am pretty sure.
Still, just in case, I had him look for a hidden space beyond the walls, ceilings and floors.
Ahbooboo mumbled in complaint, but still looked around and searched the area.
He was no longer in the form of a sword.
Ever since he got badly damaged on the tournament stage, his blade had yet to be repaired.
Now, Ahbooboo is floating around, leaving behing some glowing crystals that were his blade’s core.
Although his function as a sword has been completely lost, it was not too big of a loss.
He has high intelligence and magical powers and can even carry out divine magic in case of emergency.
In fact, ever since I got Ahbooboo, I’ve been using him more like a magic aid than a sword, so there’s not much difference.
Rather, he was small and quite easy to carry around.
Of course, he himself was very distressed.
His dignity had disappeared.
He grumbles so much when he was tied with a purple silk handkerchief to a core the size of a child’s fist.
At first, he hated it because it was strange, but now he was flying around well, silk handkerchief appearing like a cape.
After receiving a message from Kim Min-hyuk that he could not find a way to repair him, I asked Kirikiri. But she replied there was no immediate way.
I was a little shocked because I thought it would be possible to repair him.
Ahbooboo is disappointed.
Kirikiri advised to go up to the 60th floor and find a way again, just as the store window had been updated once after crossing the 30th floor.
I was waiting to see if there was no other way of fixing him.
Perhaps Ahbooboo was relieved to hear it from me, and his grumbling greatly reduced.
He was wandering in every corner of the dungeon, with a purple handkerchief flapping behind him.
I can see that the handkerchief is getting dirty.
I’ll have to buy him a new handkerchief or wash that handkerchief.
[No.]
“Then is this dungeon really normal?”
[I told you so.]
Ahbooboo was sure, but I was still suspicious.
Tutorial stages sometimes fuck people with different elements of difficulty.
I thought this might be the case.
The fake goods turn into genuine articles, or in fact, leave not even one gem to collect.
“Well… I doubt it, but let’s go for now.”
It could be the kind of stage where you have to make a fool of yourself to open the next stage.
Oh, that’s right.]
