Year 7443, Month 8, Day 23

Since we somehow defeated a powerful opponent that we don't know much about and we obtained a number of items we took a small break after that while discussing what to do.

..As expected this time was no good. I didn't expect that I would have to cut my trump card. No, to be more precise I didn't think I would have to use it at the level of the 4th floor. I thought at most I might end up needing to use it on a deeper floor like the 5th or 6th floors but honestly speaking I can't say anything other than that I was underestimating it. I had Identified him about one second after he jumped down next to Toris. He was probably disintegrated around 5-6 seconds after that but I feel like I fought him for over a minute.

Since I only glanced at them I don't remember for sure but I saw Vampire and including magic he had a mountain of special skills. He even should have had over 200 HP. If something like that comes out again then this time it'll be bad. I only have 3,700 MP remaining. I used 200 times in that instant but I went overboard.

As expected the only way it would reach 200 times is if he was a bodybuilder or had a splendid physique like that but it should have been plenty around 130-150 times. As proof of that the surrounding ice where his lower body was disappeared from the aftermath of the {Disintegrate}. There's no need to aim for something that's barely enough but too much is also a problem. I'm sure I could have saved 750 MP. If I have over 4,000 remaining then I would have made the decision to continue without hesitation.

"..Wouldn't it be best to return?"

I can hear Toris's voice.

"But, this is an unexplored area. We might be able to find some ores or something.."

Ralpha huh?

"It's true, it's suspicious if there's anyone who made it this far and returned to the surface. I'm sure all of the bones scattered around were done in by him."

Zenom says gravely.

"He just looked like a normal person with a slightly bad facial color though..was he a monster?"

This is, Gwine?

"I don't know. But, I saw him avert masters stone spear spell with his own stone spear spell. It's true it's not something that a normal person would have been able to do."

Zulu's voice was calm.

"I didn't feel like that man was alive. His skin was extremely pale as well..and his eyes were shining red.."

Angela says with some restraint.

"..A nest of undead huh..It might have been a vampire.."

Bel whispered as she said. Correct answer.

"Gwine, draw the map up to here. Bel and Ralpha put the weapons together so they're split up into groups for each of us to carry about the same amount of weight. Zenom..Nn, use this sword. Ralpha use Zenom's {Tomahawk}. Zulu, remain cautious of the hall on the other side. Angela you watch this side. Don't go too far away from here, it would be a pain if the Ghouls in the Northern room were called over. Zenom, Toris, come with me for a bit."

I hand Zenom one of the more decent short swords of the weapons we found this time and after gathering him and Toris on my side we opened the map of the 4th floor. It was unexpected that we would lose a weapon. Since I'm here I thought we wouldn't easily lose our weapons and in order to reduce our luggage until now we haven't prepared spares. I couldn't imagine that I would end up disintegrating it to dust...

"We came to the 4th floor at around 5 am this morning so it's been over four hours. Calculating the distance we walked then the area we teleported to this time should either be here or here. If we match up the map Gwine is drawing later I'm sure we'll know for sure. Then in that case there's a high probability it's not connected to the room with the teleport crystal to the 5th floor. It's the usual cave area. And then"

I looked at their two faces while continuing my words. Zenom is making an amused face. Toris is listening seriously but has a slightly strange expression on. Hmph.

"Since I was surprised just now I used quite a bit of mana. However, I can somehow use that spell I used in the end just now once more. I can't say anything until Gwine finishes drawing the map but if it's this area then since it's small I think we'll keep going. But, if it's this area over here then it has a shape like it fits in so it's possible it could be quite wide. In that case I think we'll return from here. Let me hear your opinion."
