Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The 10th floor, the last of the Adaptation Zone.
A lot of information about the conquest had already been released here and there.
One could easily know just by searching the community a little.
└ 10F has a lot of quantity so it seems difficult.
└ I also see 10F conquest as difficult.
└ Agreed.
└ Still, since it was EX up to 9F, isn't there a possibility for 10F too?
└ 10F is a place where the kids come out all at once, so it will be hard.
As can be seen just by looking at the relevant content, the 10th floor is a bit different from existing floors.
A large quantity of monsters, huh.
From the existing 6th to 9th floors.
A floor where all types of Hog monsters that appeared appear in a swarm.
10 of each type.
Total 40, plus 1 Boss Boar Hog.
I had to defeat all of them.
It was a difficulty befitting the final section finishing preparations to climb the Tower in earnest.
“Spiky, can you do it?”
The small flower bud repeats opening and folding.
The confident appearance is good, but I can't help the feeling of worry for no reason.
“First, let’s go in after preparing certainly.”
I made up my mind to handle the things I had put off with the excuse of being busy until now.
Producing a potion worth using in combat.
After drying the Dreamy Powder gathered from Mushroom, put more than the appropriate amount into a pouch.
Afterward, poisonous spines gathered from the Angler Flower.
If I put these into the pouch and mix well.
“Done.”
The moment it bursts, it fires spines inducing poison and confusion in all directions.
Even the explanation is perfect.
It was a function exactly as I thought.
“Because I have to clear with EX on the 10th floor too.”
I cannot leave everything simply to Spiky.
I also must find things I have to do.
It was my own potion conceived all day yesterday with such a feeling.
Naturally, it wasn't written in the book either.
Perhaps because of that, a system message floated up soon after.
[You have satisfied the conditions for Trait Evolution.]
[The existing Trait evolves into a new Trait [Alchemist].]
“Uh?”
[Level]: 10
[Trait]: Alchemist (Cultivated Plants: 4)
[Skill]: Growth Acceleration / Manufacture
The status window changed.
From the existing Gardener to Alchemist.
Furthermore, even a new skill was created.
Now, a potion manufactured once can be manufactured quickly with a skill.
However, the ingredients for the relevant potion must be in the inventory.
“Crazy...!”
Doesn't this mean I can make a potion I made once right away with the Manufacture skill?
Literally just a click.
At the unbelievable event, I used the skill immediately.
“Manufacture.”
Healing Potion x3
Scent of Tranquility x2
Confusion Poison Pouch x2
“Confusion Poison Pouch.”
Afterward, the ingredients decreased in real-time from the inventory, and soon one small pouch was created before my eyes.
“This is crazy...”
An appearance skipping all other additional processes needed to make a potion.
Surprise was brief; I created Confusion Poison Pouches as much as possible.
A total of 3 pouches made like that.
It was an object to be used usefully in this 10th floor conquest.
Therefore, entering immediately.
There is also a weapon I purchased at a shop I stopped by not long ago while going to the Management Bureau.
This time, I also planned to participate in combat.
The landscape changes as my vision flashes.
A vast grassland.
There, at least dozens of different pigs were oinking.
Defeat 10 of all types of Hogs and the Boar Hog.
Normal Hog 0/10
Green Hog 0/10
Blue Hog 0/10
Red Hog 0/10
Boar Hog 0/1
Reward: Lowest Grade Magic Stone 10kg
After using Growth Acceleration on Spiky who came down from the pocket and took position before I knew it, I also wore my equipment.
It was Spiky shrinking its body to the fullest as if about to spring out immediately, but.
“Spiky, wait a moment.”
Pyureut?
The fellow looking at me shaking its flower bud gently.
Smiling at that appearance, I took out the prepared pouch.
“If I throw this into the middle of those bastards, can you burst it with your spine?”
Then Spiky, who pondered for a moment, shook its bud violently.
“Good. Then I’m going?”
Afterward, reviving the memory of playing catch, just like that, Vwoom.
When the pouch that flew drawing a parabola was located above the bastards’ heads.
“Now!”
Simultaneous with my shout, the spine Spiky fired pierced the pouch exactly.
Along with a cool sound, the pouch burst and the contents inside started scattering in all directions.
“Oink?”
“Squeal.”
“Oink oink?”
Even the fellows who were bewildered at first, after a little time passed.
“Squeeeal!!”
“Oiiiink!!”
They screamed just like that and ran in confusion.
The side effect of Dreamy Powder is Confusion.
Its representative side effect was Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) disorder.
While there are fellows collapsing pik pik suffering from poison, they started charging revealing aggression towards each other.
It became a pandemonium in an instant.
“I won't need to use up to two, right?”
Already close to half the bastards suffered from poison spines and lost their lives just like that.
Effect beyond thought even though I made it.
At this, I sent a signal to Spiky.
“Spiky, let’s go.”
Following Spiky who dug into the ground in an instant, I also took out a crossbow from the inventory and held it in my hand.
The fellow I purchased directly at the Management Bureau not long ago.
Since it’s a cheap price, there is no special effect, but.
Still, for support, a ranged weapon is the best after all.
On top of that, level 10 before I knew it.
At this point, I can certainly feel my body became lighter.
It would be good if this applied outside too.
Improvement of physical ability due to level applies only inside the Tower.
Well, if this applied outside too, it would have been an uproar already.
Because the problem of having to control superhumans arises.
Thinking like that, it seems rather fortunate too.
Anyway.
In a state where I opened sufficient safety distance, when I drove arrows into the fellows Spiky missed.
Pigs starting to fall pik pik.
This is more fun than I thought?
Such thought was brief.
“Kuoooo!!!”
The Boar Hog appeared with a threatening cry, but.
The flower bud with a bulk more massive than the Boar Hog started shaking its petals threateningly.
In that gap where the bastard flinched and hesitated to charge.
The massive leaf made an air-tearing sound and started spraying spines consecutively.
No matter if it’s a Boar Hog, there was no way to dodge the rain of poison spines pouring down countlessly.
Was Spiky that strong?
Confidence wasn't there for no reason.
Maybe I didn't need the pouch for this?
However, soon I shook my head.
No matter how strong Spiky is, if I do nothing as the person in the owner position, is there anything more embarrassing than that?
Therefore, puffing out my chest proudly.
“Spiky, Fighting!!!”
I cheered energetically.
Hearing that sound, Spiky lunged at the Boar Hog that had already become a hedgehog.
Afterward, opening its mouth just like that.
Contrary to the chilling sound.
It was Spiky making purring sounds like a cat.
[You have acquired Creation Fragment.]
[You have acquired Lowest Grade Magic Stone 10kg.]
The familiar message floating up was brief.
[Privilege: Trait Related Item Acquisition]
[You have acquired Lightning Strike Herb Seed.]
“Lightning Strike Herb...?”
A seed with blue stripes drawn fully on a yellow body.
At this, I hurriedly took out the book from the inventory.
An extremely dangerous plant growing wild in rock crevices of alpine regions where storms rage. It is also called ‘Storm Dragon’s Whisker’.
...(Omitted)...
Living lightning itself; an untamed Lightning Strike Herb is like a disaster attacking everything approaching the vicinity indiscriminately.
I obtained a new combat plant.
