Chapter 82

"Hah, hah, did
I... do it...?"
Having been attacked
many times, my whole body was covered in wounds.
My body had gone cold
from the repeated blood loss and recovery, and my senses were beginning to
disappear.
But my heart was still
beating.
And I was standing
here now.
"I see, I...
won?"
When I said it out
loud, the unreal scene became real.
The tension snapped,
and I collapsed to my knees.
At the same time, I
felt a sensation like something was welling up from inside.
It was similar to the
sensation I felt when I leveled up... but it was on a completely different
level from anything I had felt before.
"Status,
open."

《Liberated》
The Knight of the Holy
Remains
When I checked before,
my level was 223.
So in this single
battle, my level jumped up by almost twenty.
But there's something
else that bothers me.
"My gift... has
increased...?"
Holy Magic Reversal,
which the Knight of the Holy Remains used, was added to my gift list, and a
mysterious 《Liberated》 column appeared below my skills.
So when you defeat a
boss, you get a gift... probably.
But why isn't such
important information shared among adventurers?
There might be various
reasons, like preventing people from recklessly attacking bosses... but ah,
this isn't the time to be thinking about that.
I need to destroy the
dungeon core... but no, I can't.
I'm too tired to think
straight.
My body is burning hot
from using too much recovery magic.
My insides are
throbbing, and I just want to lie down on the ground and sleep.
I ignored everything
for the time being, used my [Home] gift, and slept like a log.
*
For now, since I've
woken up, I'll organize the situation.
"First, I have to
find the dungeon core."
My initial goal in
coming here was to destroy the dungeon core and stop the dungeon's activity. To
achieve that goal, I have to return.
When I cautiously
returned to the twelfth floor, the traces of the fierce battle were still
there, and the coffin was still open.
The Knight of the Holy
Remains had already disappeared, but I could see a single pure white sword he
had used, sheathed in a beautifully decorated scabbard.
When I drew it, the
beautiful blade appeared. Despite fighting to the death with me, the sword
didn't have a single crack. I don't know how many swords I changed... For now,
it doesn't seem to have any curses, so I collected it and hung it at my waist.
After collecting any intact burial goods nearby, I used Mana Perception.
Then, there were two
reactions. One was inside the coffin, and the other was in a small space behind
the coffin.
First, I checked the
coffin in front. Inside, there was a stone pulsating red and throbbing. Several
tubes like arteries spread out from the stone, which was about the size of a
human head, and were stretched throughout the coffin.
It seems that mana
flows through the coffin to the entire dungeon. Probably... no, definitely,
this is the dungeon core.
"Judgment
Ray"
Thinking it might
explode if I broke it, I took some distance and attacked with Judgment Ray.
Then, there was a cracking sound like thin glass breaking. When I checked
again, the dungeon core was broken, and fragments were scattered in the coffin.
Thinking it might be
useful for something, I collected the core fragments. Since it was a hassle, I
decided to take the coffin, which had tubes that had turned blue like veins,
with me.
Then, when I turned my
gaze to the other side... there was a magic circle with complex patterns drawn
in a place where there shouldn't have been anything before. It was the place
where I had sensed mana earlier. In dungeon rogue-like games, it's often a
teleportation magic circle for returning.
Thinking that I could
just use [Home] even if I was teleported somewhere, I casually stepped on it.
And then, there was--a flower field spreading out in my field of view. When I
thought it looked familiar, I realized that it was the flowers used in the
bouquet in front of the coffin.
"Do you... like
flowers?"
I turned around, hurriedly
getting into a defensive stance at the voice from behind. Then there was...
"You can rest
assured. I have no intention of harming you, who freed me."
The Knight of the Holy
Remains, whom I thought I had defeated, was standing there smiling, as a
faintly transparent ghost--.
