HPDBC Chapter 160
Chapter 160
chapter 160
it is now early december.
one thing that has happened during this time is that the development village that my father, rodan is the mayor of is developing well.
we have already finished building the fence and started boar hunting.
the villagers were able to hunt down about 20 great boars with the help of the heliocane and mithril spears.
the white dragon mountains are long and wide. there are a sufficient number of boars, but they have been overpopulating for the past few years. this is because i have wiped out the goblins and orcs that used to feed on the boars.
the villagers are now able to nourish themselves with boar meat in the winter and plow the fields next spring.
right now, allen and his friends are in the hall of the bottom floor boss of the a-class dungeon in the academy city.
“finally!”
“...”
in front of the 8 of us laid a dragon. not my summon, but the bottom floor boss. it was taking its last breath.
we were able to defeat the dragon of the a-class dungeon without relying on kurena’s extra skill.
“oh, i leveled up!”
“congratulations, merle. you’re now level 58.”
i think merle has gotten used to the expression “level”.

i think being the head in a combined robot is the coolest part though. { allen’s comment regarding merle’s extra skill}
merle has to ride a golem in order to use her skills. in the academy city, where there are no golems, she cannot gain any skill experience by consuming mana, and her skill levels has not increased at all.
that’s why merle is the only one who doesn’t have the status increase skill one gets at skill level 3 or 6.
like sophie, merle came to this academy city due to the five continents alliance. she plans to continue fighting with me and the others in the northern part of the central continent, using a golem.
in the northern part of the central continent, there are some elves, but there are also golem soldiers loaned by the baukis empire. they are fewer in number than the elves, but they are powerful enough to slaughter a-rank magical beasts.
“oh! a gold chest! i knew it! they only appear if the bottom floor boss is a dragon!”
“the imperial capital, you mean, in the baukis empire?”
“yeah, yeah.”
(what, the s-class dungeon is in the baukis empire?)
“what? so we can’t go to the s-class dungeon right away?”
we had decided to enter the s-class dungeon after my
(i thought that a portal would appear after we conquer 5 a-class dungeons that would lead us to the s-class dungeon, or that this cube-shaped object would teleport us to the s-class dungeon.)
now that nearly all of us have reached level cap, we’ll need the orichalcum weapons to get stronger.
helmios also recently told me that orichalcum weapons can be obtained in dungeons, so i’ve been thinking about the inevitable challenge of the s-class dungeon and setting up requirements to enter it.
the requirements to challenge the s-class dungeon included defeating the dragon without relying on kurena’s extra skill.
“so, we can’t enter.”
cecile sighed looking disappointed.
“hmm... why don’t we go to the baukis empire next year as transfer students. then we might be able to see merle use golems too.”
i don’t know where the academy of the baucis empire is, but i want it to be as close as possible to the temple of janpani, where the s-class dungeon is located.
in addition, in the third year, students start to learn strategy and have practical sessions. in practice, the students will go to the orc nests to attack together. the lessons for the war will begin in earnest.
in addition to that, the training for activating extra skill will begin as well.
“you can do that?”
dogora couldn’t keep up with my idea.
“i don’t know. maybe we could ask the principal?”
i wanted to ask the principal to transfer us to the baucis empire’s academy. it is only december now, it might be possible to transfer us since the new session will begin in april.
“i’ll ask theodosir to show some flexibility.”
sophie, who had also heard my ideas, suggested. thus, it was agreed that we would challenge the s-class dungeon in the baucis empire for the orichalcum weapon.
“i’m sorry to interrupt your conversation. but i still have some explaining to do.”
the cube-shaped object that had been listening to our conversation spoke up. apparently, it had not finished its explanation.
“yes, what is it?”
(is there anything more?)
“if you successfully conquer the s-class dungeon in janpani, your invitation will be converted into a challenge to the dungeon master.”
“”what?””
“whoa, whoa! the final boss! you know what you’re doing, digragni!
to everyone’s surprise, i clasped my hands and screamed.
“does that mean we get to fight the dungeon master?”
cecile took over for the screaming me and proceeded with the conversation.
“that’s right.”
“what will happen if we win?”
the question in cecile’s mind was apparently, “what’s in it for me?”
“only those who defeat the dungeon master shall know the answer to that question.”
(oh! not going to tell us? perfect! perfect!”
“we definitely have to conquer the s-class dungeon!”
allen said as he looked at everyone.
kurena replied with a determined shout, while cecile sighed saying, “here we go again.”
