Chapter 53 Killing the Young Dragon
I acquired Tsubaki Kobrand's work for 85,000 falies, even though it was a failure.
Roy felt like laughing.
The material cost of this armor alone far exceeds 80,000 Fali. Keep in mind that this is a near-high-level equipment, of higher quality than his village's best sword, which is estimated to be worth over 500,000 Fali.
People who come to this kind of shop are usually level 1 newbies and adventurers who have just leveled up to level 2.
How could the other party possibly have anticipated that Ryu, at level 4, would come over and even recognize Tsubaki Kobrand's work?
If they don't want this to be exposed, the other party will have no choice but to sell the armor to them at a rock-bottom price.
Roy put on the armor, wrapped the straps around his back and tied them in a knot, and the armor was printed on his chest.
The weight of eight or nine pounds was nothing to Roy, and the missing piece was no problem either. If he had bought it for millions of dollars, Roy might have grumbled, but since he bought it for 80,000 dollars, even if it was broken, Roy would have to say it was good that it was broken!
Having settled the armor issue, the two entered the dungeon. Their most important task for the day was to make money.
With one at level 4 and the other at level 2, the upper levels posed almost no challenge for them.
"War Shadow" and "Killer Ant" are known as "newbie killers" in the upper echelons. They caused Roy quite a bit of trouble during the War Game. Now, Roy kills them one by one with a single sword strike, without any hesitation.
Liu was even more efficient, flashing past like a gust of wind, turning all the surrounding monsters into dust, and raining down magic stone fragments.
She even dared to charge straight into swarms of killer ants, single-handedly sweeping away hundreds of monsters.
Roy also needed to hone his combat skills and adapt to the power of LV.2. He had no interest in acting as a supporter, so he activated his magic, materialized lightning, and formed a lightning avatar to follow behind and pick up the fallen magic stones.
Seeing this, Liu was inwardly amazed.
She followed Roy when he went to the dungeon to experiment with magic and witnessed the magic herself.
She had seen many clone magics, but she had never seen a clone like Roy's that could be maintained for a long time, had a certain combat ability, and move freely before.
It's like having your own other hand or sibling.
However, it must be admitted that having such a clone is extremely convenient when exploring dungeons. When encountering unknown areas, the clone can go in first to explore and can also act as a supporter, greatly improving the efficiency of making money.
The two quickly arrived at the tenth floor.
The floor where the war game with the Rudra Familia once took place has vanished without a trace, and the corpses have been eaten by monsters. This is the nature of the dungeon; no matter what damage is caused, it will eventually be restored to its original state.
Ryu said, "Let's take a break."
She didn't care, but the key was Roy. The next eleventh level was a territory that the other party had never set foot in before, so they couldn't be careless in the slightest and had to keep their physical and mental strength at its best.
The two rested under a dead tree, away from the wall, so they wouldn't be ambushed by monsters that suddenly appeared.
Ryu asked, "How's the magic consumption?"
Roy wasn't surprised and replied, "Summoning it requires 10% of your mental energy, and controlling it requires 2% of your mental energy to maintain for one minute."
There's one more thing Roy didn't mention: if he drinks a low-level mental potion, his subsequent manipulation will be completely costless.
But it was enough to surprise Ryu, because Roy was only LV.2. The true terror of this magic would only be revealed when he reached a higher level.
This newcomer from my own family is truly terrifying.
The break ended after twenty minutes.
The two entered the eleventh floor, and the environment was not much different from the tenth floor, with spacious caves.
The monsters on this floor are similar to those on the tenth floor, the only variable being the rare "baby dragon".
In this world, dragons are the most powerful monsters, bar none. As long as a monster has even the slightest connection with a "dragon species," the difficulty of defeating it will increase dramatically.
"Young Dragons" are rare monsters that appear on the eleventh and twelfth floors. They are few in number and can easily wipe out a small team of novice adventurers.
Since there is no floor owner at the top, the "young dragon" is essentially the floor owner.
Maybe it's just that whatever you wish for comes true.
A series of exclamations came from ahead, and seven or eight LV.1 adventurers fled in panic.
A four-legged monster appeared around the corner. It had no wings, but its entire body was covered in hard, gray scales that gleamed like steel. Its tough flesh made it clear at a glance that it possessed potential far exceeding that of a half-orc.
The strongest monster in the upper levels—the baby dragon!
"Wait, let me do it!"
Seeing that Ryu was about to kill the opponent instantly, Roy quickly stopped her. Rare species are hard to come by, and he wanted to use this baby dragon for some experiments.
"The young dragon's magic stone is in the center of its chest." Ryu then stopped to support Roy.
"Understood."
Roy stepped forward, going against the direction of the fleeing adventurers, instantly attracting the young dragon's attention.
The young dragon's blood-red eyes darted around as it pounced directly at Roy. It was a size larger than an adult and looked imposing.
Roy immediately realized that the opponent had reached LV.2 with all stats at H.
However, his ability level is superior.
Roy moved lightly to the side, dodging the young dragon's charge. As he dodged, he swung his Mura-no-Kami sword, slicing it across the dragon's body.
The sword's edge sparked against the young dragon's scales, leaving only a shallow scratch on the gray scales.
Roy's chest was also scratched by scales, leaving a mark on his protective gear. If he hadn't worn the protective gear today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
With scales as hard as iron and a stat of LV.2, it's practically a killing machine when dealing with novice adventurers in the upper levels.
Roy realized that the village sword couldn't break through the opponent's scales, and the advantage brought by the equipment was not much.
Roar!
The young dragon turned around, opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly, and lunged at Roy.
Roy was not intimidated. He channeled his magic, and a ball of lightning the size of a basketball appeared in his palm, its surface crackling with fine currents. He then hurled it directly at the target.
The lightning ball entered the baby dragon's mouth and exploded with a deafening roar.
boom!
The young dragon was blown apart, its mouth full of blood, its teeth broken, half its head gone, and it staggered backward.
Roy seized the opportunity to rush forward, his muscles tensing, and poured his power into the Muramasa sword, thrusting it forward fiercely until the blade pierced the young dragon's chest.
As the sword penetrated deeper into the gaps in the scales, it seemed to have struck a hard object, and a cracking sound rang out.
Bang!
When the magic stone was pierced, the young dragon seemed to lose all its power at once, freezing in place, its body turning into dust and dissipating. A magic stone the size of an infant's fist fell to the ground, along with a gray dragon scale.
[Congratulations on defeating the "Young Dragon"! You have gained 85 attribute points and the material "Gray Steel Dragon Scale" has dropped!]
