Chapter 26

It's About Time

Translator : PolterGlast

It's been ten days since I started holed up in the [Knight's Holy Remains].

After all, it's definitely convenient for training, so I haven't dived into the fifth floor and have continued to stay on the fourth floor.

 

A lot of changes had happened, and at the same time, I was starting to feel my limits.

Now that things have settled down, I think it's time to get moving.

 

The first change is that I've stopped using a watch.

Instead, I use the stopwatch function of the app.

 

The time in this Alistella is the same 24 hours a day as in modern Japan.

There was a slight time lag, but if you correct it, the watch works without any problems.

 

But when it comes to conquering dungeons, there's not much point in knowing the current time.

The inside of the dungeon is always dim, and the strength of the monsters doesn't change between day and night.

 

So I decided to optimize my actions in the dungeon by dividing them into exploration time and sleep time.

 

As a result, I discovered something interesting.

After trying various things while changing my sleep time, I found out the approximate time required to fully recover my mana.

 

Apparently, mana seems to fully recover by sleeping for six hours or more.

 

So I would sleep for six hours, then go on an exploration, and after I was done, I would physically hurt myself, and then go home to rest.

 

After that, I decided to take a method that doesn't neglect any of them by making a series of steps into a set.

 

I raise the LV of earth magic by digging through my mother's gardening while taking a good rest and then using Refresh to restore it to its original state.

I raise the LV of dark magic by meditating in the dark and doing image training on how to use the magic I used before returning home.

 

I made ice in the ice maker, dumped it in the sink, and then filled the ice maker with water again, which was an insane action, which certainly improved my ice magic level, but made my sink look like a fish refrigerator.

 

In this way, I'm engaged in efficient practice without wasting MP.

Perhaps because I've recovered a large amount of MP many times, the level of mana recovery is also growing steadily.

 

As a result, my status is like this.

Mana Recovery LV4

 

The agility that had decreased from being holed up has finally returned, but that's not particularly important.

 

What is important is my LV.

My LV is certainly increasing, but... I already feel like I'm hitting a wall with leveling up here.

When I first came here, it was increasing by 10 a day, but now it's only increasing by 3 in 10 days.

 

If I use a game-like expression, I think this is no longer my appropriate hunting ground.

 

I've also gotten quite used to the pain.

Familiarity is a scary thing, and I, who couldn't even think properly at first because of the pain, have now become able to instantly kill wraiths even with a knife stuck in my arm by repeatedly stabbing and recovering.

 

Ten days have passed since I started training to endure pain and checking magic.

I've used all the magic, and I've finished selecting the magic that I can use other than lightning magic and light magic.

I think I'm ready to fight.

 

So, with my newfound strength and readiness, I decided to proceed to the fifth floor.

After finishing the exploration of the fifth floor, I'm going to return to the ground and report the completion of the request for the skeleton soldier's core fragments that Melissa-san had given me.

 

I feel strangely lonely, perhaps because I haven't talked to anyone for a while.

I feel like it's too convenient to feel lonely when I come to another world, but... I'll take it positively that I'm getting out of my reclusive life.

Chapter 25

Healing Magic

Translator : PolterGlast

How many wraiths have I defeated?

I stopped counting along the way, but I'm sure I've defeated hundreds.

 

I defeated the wraiths that were gathered at the dead end with Chain Lightning all at once, or practiced adjusting my position so that I could defeat multiple wraiths with one shot by skillfully controlling Lightning Bolt, a higher-level magic than Lightning, which draws a zigzag trajectory like lightning... I slaughtered many wraiths while doing such things.

 

At first, I looked at the status in detail and counted the mana consumption, but in the middle of it, I completely became a machine that absolutely kills wraiths and continued to use magic.

 

When I finally regained my ego from fatigue and checked the time, five hours had already passed since I started exploring.

 

To say the least, there is a reason why I, who was using magic with the momentum of killing every enemy I saw on this fourth floor, still haven't run out of MP.

Mana Recovery LV2

 

A new mana recovery has been added to my skills.

This seems to be a skill that simply enhances the natural recovery of mana, and thanks to this, I don't have to worry too much about MP consumption as long as I'm releasing Lightning and Light Arrows from time to time.

 

A while ago, it was LV1, and 2 MP, which is twice as much as before, was recovering in 10 minutes.

But before I knew it, the LV had risen to 2.

I'll check how much this recovery amount is later.

 

"All right!"

 

So I put up a Sanctuary to ward off wraiths, and then took out the fruit knife from the item box.

 

And I mustered up my courage--and thrust it into my arm.

 

"Ouch... ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!"

 

My head goes blank from the shock I'm experiencing for the first time.

What is this? It hurts so much.

But the pain quickly disappeared. What came instead was heat.

The blood vessels in my arm throbbed, and the affected area was so hot that I couldn't stand it.

 

"Last Hea... wait, no! No, no!"

 

I scold myself for trying to use recovery magic right away.

I'd be in trouble if I recovered with the knife still in it and it became completely fused with the flesh.

 

Just because I'm not used to the pain, I'm not thinking straight at all.

Calm down, it's not like my life is in danger.

It's just that a fruit knife is stuck in my arm.

 

"Phew, phew..."

 

I repeat inhaling and exhaling roughly.

My thinking ability has returned to the point where I can tell that the heat has disappeared and the pain has returned.

 

Let's check the status.

HP was reduced by 12.

Seriously, only 12 with this pain!?

I won't complain as long as my HP is high because it helps that I won't seem to die easily!

 

"Okay, here we go... one, two... three!"

 

At the same time as I shouted, I put strength into the handle and pulled it out in one breath.

When I looked at the status that was still open, my HP had decreased by 3 more.

 

"...Oh man, it's completely useless!"

 

I wanted to get rid of this pain as soon as possible, so I used Last Heal, the highest-level recovery magic, but... I couldn't get myself ready to activate the magic at all.

 

The pain has made me so distracted that I find my consciousness going to the affected area, to the status, and to the wraiths I can see in the distance.

In such a state, it's only natural that it's difficult to use magic.

 

After all, it was a high LV magic, and it took me what seemed like an eternity to use the Last Heal.

 

"--Last Heal!"

 

A mysterious light that fills this place, which you can keep your eyes open even though it's brighter than a flash grenade, fills the place.

 

And when the flesh swelled up like a video playing in reverse, the wound disappeared in an instant.

 

"...It's kind of gruesome."

 

While giving such a somewhat off-topic impression, I moved on to checking the usability of the magic to use the remaining MP.

 

But still... phew, I'm tired.

I'm getting depressed thinking that I have to do this kind of thing many more times.

 

I feel a little anemic, so I'll eat a lot of rice today.

 

I didn't touch it because it was troublesome to defrost, but I'll eat the frozen Kobe beef steak to build up my energy.
