Chapter 69
Coffin
Translator : PolterGlast
The basic strategy for
conquering the eleventh floor is the same as the tenth floor.
First, use the
simulation room to thoroughly learn the opponent's tactics, then devise a way
to win and achieve victory.
Interestingly, I can
summon Revenants as a group or individually.
This made training
much more efficient.
By summoning Revenant
(Knight), I was able to steal their swordsmanship, and by summoning Revenant
(Mage), I was able to see how well I could handle magic combat.
Thanks to that, I
acquired various skills.
It would be quicker to
show you than to explain each one.

The Revenants'
experience points seem to be much higher than the Elder Liches', and by
defeating them in groups, the pace of leveling up, which had been slowing down,
started to pick up again.
Thanks to that, I
finally broke through the 200 mark, and my skills increased rapidly (and thanks
to taking a bath every day, I was able to raise my Water Magic LV to MAX).
Let's take a look at
the skills I learned from the Revenants.
First, the
swordsmanship-related skills: Swordsmanship, Dual Swordsmanship, and Drawing
Technique.
The first two skills
were acquired from the Revenant I encountered first, and the last one, Drawing
Technique, was acquired from the Revenant (Samurai), who was dressed like a
samurai at the gate where I defeated them (it's also labeled as Revenant
(Samurai) in the simulation room).
I honestly don't know
how to acquire skills.
I had been swinging my
sword in my spare time, hoping to acquire swordsmanship, but it didn't work at
all.
But when I closely
observed the movements of the Knights, Samurai, and Light Warriors, and tried
to swing my sword in the same way to steal their techniques, I acquired the
skills without spending much time.
The power of a magic sword
aimed at a vital point is comparable to LV 10 magic.
And since it's better
to have a way to fight even when approached, I plan to continue developing
these skills.
The first skill I
acquired from fighting the Revenants was Mana Perception.
The same Mana
Perception that Varietta-san had.
Thanks to this, I can
now perceive the opponent's mana, although very roughly.
Due to the low LV, the
accuracy is quite low.
I can only rate it in
three levels: low, normal, and high (by the way, Elder Liches and Revenants are
all rated as high, so it's not very useful at this point).
The perception ability
is like that, but there were some by-products as well.
The biggest of these
was that I was able to perceive the movement and transformation of mana more
clearly than before.
This allowed me to
track and imitate the way mana is used when my opponent is a monster that uses
magic.
The skills I gained by
continuing to practice like that are the last two, AoE casting and body
enhancement.
--Since I came to this
world, I've always thought.
Why is there Behoma but no Behomurā in this world? 1
1 Recovery
spells that appear in the popular Japanese role-playing game series
"Dragon Quest."
Behoimu: Recovers more
HP.
Behoma: Fully restores
a single ally's HP.
Behomurā: Moderately
recovers HP for the entire party.
Behomazun: Fully
restores the HP of the entire party.
Apparently, the trick
was in the skill system.
This skill, as the
name suggests, is a magic that expands the effect of the chanted magic to a
certain range.
When you use this
skill to specify a range and then use recovery magic, you can apply recovery
magic to all creatures in that specified range.
By the way, the mana
consumption is about three times higher when specifying a range, so it balances
out if you use it on three or more people.
However, the problem
is that it recovers all creatures, so it also recovers enemies within the
range.
Therefore, it's better
to use it like the Revenant (Priest), who was dressed as a monk and taught me
this skill, by specifying a range and buffing allies first.
Body enhancement is a
skill that is quite self-explanatory.
This skill allows you
to strengthen your body by circulating mana inside your body and transmitting
it to your muscles and bones.
Using body enhancement
strengthens your body in a different way than using Accelerate or Quick.
It's not like your
motor skills are clearly improved by magic, like when you use magic, but rather
like you can exert about 1.5 times more power than before, as an extension of
your original physical ability.
To give an analogy,
buff magic is like attaching a powerful external engine to increase speed, and
body enhancement is like replacing or tinkering with internal parts to increase
speed.
Well, in this way, I
was able to get stronger on the eleventh floor without any problems.
"Ho, ho,
ho!"
I was scared at first,
but now I'm used to running on this path of light.
If you walk on the
path of light for a while, there's a gate, and if you defeat the monsters on
the stage beyond the gate, the next path of light continues.
By the way, it's
possible to go back through the gate, and I would go back the way I came after
fighting four rounds, and then do three battles, repeating the battles as a set
of seven.
However, the leveling
up here is also approaching its limit.
I can still raise my
skill LV, but apparently, skills don't grow very easily, so I can't just focus
on that.
So I dared to go
forward from where I had been turning back until now, and came to the gate that
would lead to the twelfth floor.
"..."
That gate, unlike the
divine gates of light that had been opening until now, was pitch black.
The matte black gate,
which had no gloss at all, had no decorations at all, and gave a somewhat
simple and sturdy impression.
I thought of this
floor as a floor that imitated heaven.
If so, what on earth
is this gate further down from heaven?
What lies beyond is
hell, or...?
Nervously, I slowly
touched the gate.
I pushed the heavy
gate with all my strength and entered the darkness.
What was there was...
a large bouquet of colorful flowers and a white coffin placed to be surrounded
by them--.
