[A lesser echidna, bingo.] (Varius)
I muttered as the Ruyi Staff took down the monster who appeared just as we had reached the 26th floor.
There’s a reason why I thought so.
Meeting lesser echidnas on this floor means that we can encounter some strong monsters without needing to go down too many floors.
That’s because dungeons are configured with the rules that the “monsters’ strength on each floor difficulty scales linearly with depth” in place.
With that in mind, having lesser echidnas appearing in floors in the twenties means this place is of the highest class.
What I’m trying to say is “for this dungeon, every floor down is a comparatively large increase in monster strength”.
For this dungeon, most probably…once we get down to around the 40th floors, we should be able to find some worthwhile monsters.
As I was being excited about that fact…I urged Caucasus and Beelzebub.
[Caucasus, Beelzebub, could the both of you go ahead first? There’s something I want to do on this floor.] (Varius)
The both of them won’t consider the likes of fighting lesser echidna much fun after all.
They should enjoy their battles as they progress deeper into the dungeon.
This way, my divine power would be trained at a faster rate as well.
[Understood. I shall make my way down first.] (Caucasus)
[We’ll be making mincemeat of the enemies~] (Beelzebub)
The two of them went ahead after giving their replies.
On the other hand, I…I have a little something I want to try out while the enemies are still not that strong.
Divine power practice.
Excluding my communication with Artemis, I somehow have not tried using the divine power yet.
Before the sword is completed, I would like to get used to the divine power’s various abilities.
Although my divine power reserves have increased through Caucasus’ and Beelzebub’s cooperation, it falls upon me to train my skills in using the divine power itself.
There’s another reason why I had Caucasus and Beelzebub to go ahead.
If I don’t get used to the divine powers now, it’ll be tough for me to try out various attack methods later in the deeper parts of the dungeon.
Anyway, it’ll only take a moment to regroup with the others using telepathy and the Tamer’s magic [Shared Senses].
I’ll have the two plough through the dungeon without minding me.
I took out a single Luna Metal ore using my storage magic as I found the 2nd lesser echidna since entering the 26th floor.
After all, the very first step would be to get used to the feeling of “chanelling divine powers into the Luna Metal”.
First, I’ll start by defeating lesser echidnas by throwing Luna Metal ores filled with divine power.
I’ve grasped the feeling of channelling divine powers into the Luna Metal in just a moment.
I gathered divine power into my left hand which was holding the Luna Metal, causing the Luna Metal to shine.
That probably means I succeeded.
Having confirmed that the ore has been filled with divine power, I threw it with all my might.
…However, I didn’t use magic to enhance my arm strength.
[Bigyaaaa!]
The lesser echidna shrieked when the luna metal hit it.
It seems to have dealt some damage but…looks like it didn’t manage to kill it in one shot.
Having understood that, I thought of conducting a certain experiment.
A controlled experiment to measure the strength of the divine power.
First, I’ll throw the luna metal enhanced with divine power while also using body strengthening magic and determine the minimum level of strengthening required to kill the lesser echidna instantly.
Next, I’ll measure the minimum body strengthening required to kill the lesser echidna without using divine power.
I’ll be able to then determine the strength of the divine power by taking the difference in magical power spent.
I went around the labyrinth killing lesser echidnas.
As a result…I concluded that using divine powers reduces the body strengthening required by about 20%.
As Caucasus and Beelzebub are working hard, my divine powers are continuously being trained, so there would be some errors…but it still served as a pretty decent reference.
With this, I’ll be able to measure how much stronger I would be on the way back after the training by repeating the experiment.
Having finished what I wanted to do on the 26th floor, I thought of heading towards the deeper floors but…I thought of something to do while I am here — contacting Artemis.
[Artemis, if I am to teleport[1] along with Caucasus and Beelzebub…how many meters do you think is my limit?]
[Let me see, I cannot say for sure since I am not sure how much Varius has grown…it has not been long since I imparted the divine powers after all. If Varius has been training hard since then…about 4 meters I reckon?] (Artemis)
[Is that so, thank you.] (Varius)
Healing her reply, I unknowingly let out a smile.
The thickness of the labyrinth’s floors, although it differs from floor to floor, is around 2.5-3 meters.
If I repeatedly teleport, I would descend much faster than if I run around the various floors.
[1]: 空間転移 or spatial transfer, I translated it as teleport for now.
