And so it begins...Next chapter in 3-6 hours.

Year 7445, Month 8, Day 15

Again, we teleported into the 8th floor from the morning.

The first monster we ended up luring on the 8th floor this morning was a {Giant Mantis}. It died from one hit of Ralpha's {Flame Arbalest}. Bugs sure are weak to fire. Gwine ended up burning it to death with {Flame Thrower} as well. After their wings catch fire they go up in flames in an interesting way, stop moving right away and die. The smell of burning proteins spreads around the surroundings but I guess the reason it isn't even the slightest bit appetizing is because it's from bugs.

Since we've already found out that burning them to death makes it easier when we go to disassemble them and collect the magic stones, it might be good to center on using fire magic from here on out. Thinking like that since Toris can't use fire magic he have bad affinity with the 8th floor.

And then once again today we repeated teleporting into the 8th floor countless times until close to noon, since there was no change in the types of monsters that come out it was just as we were getting sick of them already.

In terms of time it was probably just as were finishing our last monster calling before lunch, it was that sort of time when the fourth type of monster appeared.

When I saw it from the distance using Identify vision I doubted my eyes.

That is~ isn't it a {Scavenger Crawler}!?

Furthermore there's even 5 of them!

Even if I try identifying if it's the same thing I've seen countless times in the boss room on the 1st floor. However, it seems these {Scavenger Crawlers} have lived quite a while, both their age and level were a bit high. On average they were level 15. The height is 3 meters and their girth has a diameter of around 80 cm, things like that are running over here at about the speed of an adult. Zurorororo!!! and you can hear the sound from them dragging their bodies along.

The passage this time turns to the right about 300 meters ahead but during the time I was looking at the identify window they've approached by about 50 meters.

"Somehow I hear an unpleasant sound.."

"This sound..{Scavenger Crawler}?"

"After all it seems they were in other places..This scent is that of {Scavenger Crawler}!"

"Shit..They're too far so I can't see them.."

"..Be quiet..It's not just one! There's a lot of them! Al, we're depending on you!"

I guess the electricity I used like in the past is good. Since it seems like there's multiple targets I used the spell {Chain Lightning}. Only the two in the rear were remaining. However, it seems they've weakened quite a bit from taking the electricity. Just like that when I tried using Identify on them their HP had cut 70 remaining.

"Hmn, it seems they've been weakened considerably. Basutoral, finish them off."

As they approached us Basutoral stabbed them with his spear just as I ordered and the two remaining died. They have high levels and there's their special skills as well so as usual the experience points they give is a lot but it feels like the value of the magic stones were higher than usual? or at least a little bit since they were 7,000 or so each. However, for 5 {Scavenger Crawlers} to appear at once..If it was a party with no flexibility in their mana they'd be on the route to getting wiped out. It was the same for the ogres on the 7th floor but it seems it would be best to think there's no room to relax on the 8th floor either.

Since the smell was terrible I left the dissection up to Angela but since she was wincing from the bad odor the {Scavenger Crawlers} give off as well there were tears welling in her eyes. When she handed the five magic stones over to me with a pale face I thanked her for her work and put them into my rubber pouch along with the feelers we collected from all of them.
