Chapter 33

We finally found the stairs that led to the eightieth floor from the seventy-ninth floor .

I think we had been looking for it for about a day .

The stairs that led to the lower floor was hidden with a cover this time, the Minotaur that we crushed was on top of it and even though we found it, it took a very long time .

「…it took so long . 」

「Un . It’s the longest until now . I didn’t think that the stairs would be blocked by a piece of monster meat . 」

「Yeah . By the way, the one who crushed that enormous Minotaur was you, right?」

「…I’m not saying anything . 」

If we didn’t have my special skill ‘Fortune’, we would probably continue loitering around the seventy-ninth floor for a long time .

My glorious Fortune .

「I wonder who’s the boss this time . 」

「Dragon?」

「…that would be strange, wouldn’t it . Normally, wouldn’t that sort of thing appear on the last floor?」

「That sort of thing?」

「A man’s romance . 」

We moved ahead while avoiding the traps that became more and more sophisticated with every floor .

「Are we going towards the boss’s room just like this?」

「Aah . I want to raise my levels as soon as possible . 」

「But, if you don’t polish your technique, your body won’t move well . 」

…Amelia was, talking in a serious manner, which was unusual .

「I feel like, you just spoke ill of me . 」

「It’s just your imagination . Well? What are we going to do?」

「It should be fine to, use just my sword and not my skills to map this floor . 」

That, I did that before too .

If I remember correctly, didn’t I realize that it was impossible in the end .

「That, I tried to do that before as well, but in the end, I realized that I would die if I didn’t use my skills?」

「That was because you were by yourself . It would be fine if you do it with two people while keeping the margin of safety . 」

Amelia carelessly said that, and extended a helping hand towards me .

「『Magic Creation』…『Skill Seal』 . 」

「…eh?」

I was enveloped in a light blue light, and I felt my body suddenly becoming heavier .

Come to think of it, Amelia had magic creation .

I knew that she had it, but who would’ve expected it to be used on a friend in this place .

「…Amelia-san, I can’t use threat detection, perception, or stealth though?」

TN: Akira actually says 気配遮斷, which means ‘presence isolation’, which, I believe, is a typo as this is not one of his skills . I even went into the later chapters to check, but this is definitely not one of his skills, so this might’ve been a typo of 気配隠蔽, which means ‘presence concealment’, aka stealth, which I decided to go with .

「I know, it’ll be fine . 」

On what basis was she saying that, I wanted to question her a little, but this was not the time for it .

「Akira, there are three Huge Goblins in front on the right . If you read the signs, you would know even if you didn’t use your skills . 」

「…tsk . 」

Enormous goblins equipped with swords and axes that were probably from the adventurers that died in the upper floors appeared about three seconds after Amelia announced that .

I drew out ‘Yatonokami’ that I equipped on my back because if it was on my hip, it would’ve been a hindrance, and slashed at one of them .

The result, I couldn’t defeat even one .

When I was just about to die, Amelia crushed the three enormous goblins all in one go .
