[Caucasus, which floor are you both on now?] (Varius)

[The 28th.] (Caucasus)

Determining that there are no problems with the teleportation distance, I switched communication to Caucasus for a moment to ask about his progress.

…… The 28th floor, so 2 floors down huh?

It would be fine to just use the Nimbus Cloud to cover that distance but…yeah, since I’ve thought of it, I’ll use teleportation twice in order to meet up with them.

Before attempting group teleportation with Caucasus and the others, it’s best if I ensure that I can actually succeed in teleporting myself first.

Having decided that…in order to learn how to teleport, I once again switched communication over to Artemis.

[Artemis, could you teach me how to teleport?] (Varius)

[Varius…from what you said, don’t tell me you already plan to use space-time skills[1]?] (Artemis)

Artemis inquired reflexively .

[Yeah…..would there be a problem?](Varius)

[No, it’s not really a problem per se, but…….space-time skills need to be executed precisely according to its theories; otherwise, it will be dangerous. If you are serious about this, be sure to follow my instructions to the letter.] (Artemis)

The tone of Artemis’s transmission turned dead serious.

[Understood. I’ll keep that in mind.]

Hearing my reply, Artemis started her explanation.

[In terms of difficulty, teleportation is around the middle when compared to the other space-time skills…even so, there are two steps required. The first would be to confirm the state of the destination using Clairvoyance[2]. Although I would like for you to use it now…have you used Clairvoyance before?

[No. Please teach me starting with that.] (Varius)

[You can use Clairvoyance simply by visualising the bearing and distance to the destination while focusing divine power into your eyes. Give it a try.] (Artemis)

Artemis prompted me.

Let’s see, since my destination is one floor below…I’ll try visualising a vertical distance of 3.5m for now.

Keeping that in mind, I focused divine energy into my eyes.

[……Thank you, I can clearly see it.]Varius

[Very good. A properly executed Clairvoyance will allow you to feel as if you are at the location yourself as well as being able to see your whole body…were you able to do so?]

I immediately attempted to verify Artemis’ description, and…..Sure enough, I could see a vision of my body exactly a floor below.

Hearing Artemis’ query, I immediately attempted to verify her statement…and sure enough, I could see a vision of my body one floor below.

[Yeah, it’s properly visualised.] (Varius)

[Then…In that state, please check every single part of your body to ensure no parts of you are buried.]

Once again, I followed her instructions and checked.

Soon after… I noticed that my left hand was buried in the dungeon’s walls.

[My left hand…… is buried from wrist up] (Varius)

[I see. In that case, slightly adjust the bearing and distance of your Clairvoyance, until your left hand is no longer buried.] (Artemis)

I shifted the point-of-view of my Clairvoyance 20cm to the left.

With that…..along with my left hand, I confirmed that no part of my body is buried within the walls.

[All right, it’s definitely fine now.] (Varius)

[I see. Then it seems that your teleportation is 80% complete. The only thing left is to manipulate the divine power in your body and actuate the teleportation. It is difficult to explain with words on how to manipulate divine power but…do you remember the feeling when you returned from the moon? If you can recall that feeling, you should be fine.] (Artemis)

…… Oi, isn’t the last part pretty sloppy?

I had that thought for a moment…… but since Artemis has been thorough with her explanations so far,  it should be fine after all.

I do have a clear memory of the feeling when I returned from the moon anyway. Regardless, I’ll just give it a shot.

With that mindset, I manipulated the divine power.

Once I did… I was wrapped in a similar light to when I returned from the moon. A few seconds later, the view I saw using clairvoyance entered my own two eyes.

…… Teleportation, executed successfully.

[Artemis! I did it!] (Varius)

[I see, you managed it on the first try! Congratulations!] (Artemis)

Hearing about my success, Artemis’ tone turned uncharacteristically bright. She then gave a supplementary explanation.

[Look here, always keep this in mind: Teleportation accidents — such as having a part of your body stuck after teleporting — is usually due to inept use of Clairvoyance. On the contrary, even if you failed in manipulating the divine power, nothing will happen. Well…the point is to not be careless when using Clairvoyance.] (Artemis)

[Use Clairvoyance with care, got it. I won’t forget, thank you.] (Varius)

I replied to Artemis before ending the connection.

Then, following the procedures, I once again succeeded in teleporting, reaching the 28th floor.

[Whoa, Varius, where did you pop out from?] (Caucasus)

[I used Teleportation.] (Varius)

I teleported right next to Caucasus…which made Caucasus back off in surprise. Meanwhile, I was calm as I had a grasp of the location using Clairvoyance.

************************************************************

Soon after meeting up with Caucasus and Beelzebub on the 28th floor, I got the hang of group teleportation as well.

We continued subjugating monsters while teleporting to the next floor whenever my divine power had recovered…in about half a day, we arrived at the 42nd floor.

Right after teleporting to the 42nd floor, a single monster can be seen.

Caucasus was about to kill it with magic…but I signalled him to stopped with my hand.

[Caucasus, you don’t have to defeat it.] (Varius)

[Why not?] (Caucasus)

[That monster, it’s called Base Golem and…there’s a different way to use it.] (Varius)

I replied to Caucasus who was confused.

Actually, Base Golems have a trait where [they will mutate once a certain amount of ores have been consumed]. 

For example, if the Base Golem eats enough iron ores, it will become an Iron Golem, eat enough mythril ores and it will become a mythril golem…that kind of mutation.

Doing that would obviously make it stronger than its original form but of course, subjugating it that way has its merits.

Subjugating a mutated Base Golem provides a larger amount of experience as well as refined metals.

Even in my previous life, this method has been used to obtain mythril of high purity.

Which would mean…there’s no reason not to do the same with the somewhat excessive excess Luna Metal in my possession.

I wonder how strong a luna metal mutated Base Golem would be. As well as how would the high purity luna metal it will provide be…

I’m very curious.

Let’s quickly feed the Base Golems the luna metal and watch over it’s mutation.

Hi everyone, first, just wanted to apologise for the long delay. We had some IRL stuff to take care of but that’s not much of an excuse. I guess we also kind of lost interest in the story itself to be honest. But it seems that there’s still interest (Shoutout to Soloinsanity :D) in the story so we decided to continue this project at least until the end of the first volume (40 Chapters) . After that, maybe we’ll pick up something else that looks interesting. However, if no one picks this novel up, we may also continue to translate it for the fun of it if you all want haha.
