The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 56 [Towards 96th Floor ]
It had been a few years that the boy had lived in a dungeon and had only killed snakes. He could neither go up nor down, trapped on the 95th floor that contained only snakes. Both physically and mentally are tired. Right now, he just wanted to get out of there immediately.
Every day without exception, the boy scratched a line on the wall to calculate the time that passed. There were already about 3800 scratches plastered markedly on the walls of the dungeon.
It means that the child has been there for 10 years, eradicating all the snakes that exist. His level rose very high quickly. In the first year, the child is very difficult to defeat a single snake. In his second year he began to understand their movement patterns and could kill them within 3 hours. In the third year it only takes 1 hour. In the fourth year, his level had already equaled one snake. In the fifth year, even if swarmed he still won. In the sixth year, his magic can eradicate ¼ of them once attacked. In the seventh year, with just one move with his broken dagger he still won. In the eighth year, snakes are like snacks. In the ninth year, it only took less than 1 minute to eradicate them all. In the tenth year, his level was already close to Medusa.
"It seems like now is the time," the boy murmured.
"10 years yes.in the real world only 0.422454 years. Or about 5.069448 months. Looks like I missed my 14th birthday."
"Dagger's broken too, what can I do. Now it's going to be a magic fight. Besides, I've been up drastically for 10 years."
Aqua woke up from the pile of dead snakes she had killed. He felt a little happy that he was finally able to part from the unpleasant taste of snake meat. After all the snakes were sucked in by Gluttony, the boy threw away his dagger and walked up the stairs.
At the end of the stairs, an invisible room was different from before seen. The deadly beautiful woman with her snake hair looks wary of Aqua's arrival.
The boy grinned.
"So this time my existence is quite interesting for you, huh."
"Be prepared! Because the people you think of as passing insects are gonna kill you."
"YAHOOOO!!!!!!!"
Medusa instantly drove at high speed to Aqua while throwing a petrifying look at her.
Calmly, Aqua closed her eyes and dodged all of Medusa's physical attacks. The boy had trained him before, how to fight with his eyes closed and strengthen the instinct of danger. And because of his training, he got a new skill. The skill that made him able to improve his senses drastically and be able to see even though his eyes were closed.
The fight looks so fast that the eyes of ordinary people will not be able to follow it. The only difference between Medusa and Aqua who were equally strong was that Medusa was not flourishing. Aqua had always developed her abilities, yet Medusa was just leisurely waiting for the prey in her territory.
A single attack of Medusa could instantly crush a huge boulder. Being exposed to a little bit can be fatal as a result. Medusa also cast poison magic continuously.
To counter that, Aqua several times put up a barrier and resisted her attacks. The boy also frequently attacked Medusa with high-level magic and Epic. Since Aqua's mana had already increased drastically, she wouldn't faint from taking out 1/2 Epic magic.
A fierce fight ensued. The injuries Aqua suffered were not small, but due to being used to using Recovery every time she was injured, Recovery magic had become a passive Aqua skill that would heal Aqua every time she was injured. Thanks to him, there were no fatal injuries suffered by the boy. No. Not even a scratch was on his body.
All of that ended when Aqua used the magic of 7 spears that were previously difficult to remove Aqua. This time was different from before, the boy had managed to use Legend level magic where he could take out all seven spears. The attack from the last spear was very different from the first to sixth spear. In his final attack, Aqua managed to drain Medusa's HP to 0.
The battle was won by Aqua within 14 hours.
"Huh.. huh... huh..."
The boy was standing on the cold floor. Right next to her, there was Medusa's body divided in two.
Aqua turned her head to Medusa, her hands raised and sucked Medusa with Gluttony.
"My level is up 9. I expected, even with the difference in levels so far, it would be difficult to level up as drastically as before. The higher your level, the harder it is to raise it..."
Aqua slowly woke up. He sat with one foot on the other while looking up at the ceiling.
"I have to learn more Legend-level magic..."
He stood up after sitting for quite a while. Walk slowly down the stairs to the next floor. The level is now 600. In just 10 years, the boy was close to the level of Ashlan who had lived for hundreds of years. The next floor is different from the 95th floor which is a neat rock zone. The 96th floor immediately greeted Aqua with an extremely cold snowstorm.
"Haahhh... Winter type? It sucks!"
Aqua had the experience of surviving in the middle of a snow forest in her previous life. In one of his former missions, Aqua was stationed in Siberia by a base. Siberia is a vast plain where the Ural mountains are located and borders the Pacific Ocean in North Asia. Temperatures in Siberia. In January it can reach -48°C.
The clothes Aqua wore were too thin for the snowy region. But thanks to the fire magic, the boy could control the temperature around his body. So he's not cold.
"I'll definitely be here for a while, I'd better make a makeshift residence using trees. Actually it could also be by digging snow and making a hole like a snow cave. The air is held between the ice crystals, so it is good as an insulator. But it was a bit troublesome to make it in the middle of a snowstorm."
Aqua looks for a tree that looks appropriate. He looked for a large tree as a support pole, then dug out the snow until it met with a layer of soil. Aqua covered the top with another tree hanging to prevent the entry of wind and snow.
"Yah!!! Shit, habit!" bemused.
"I forgot.This place is a world of sword and magic. The survival information I learned back then isn't very useful right now."
As Aqua said, all the problems about survival can be solved directly with magic. Aqua built a small wooden hut with a combination of water and earth magic. Inside the hut was a bonfire that would not burn the house with fire magic.
"Actually why would I bother building such a thing.." he muttered as he looked at the makeshift house he had just made.
Aqua also made a sofa out of wood and fell asleep there. Protective magic and detection have been prepared. Now he's just gonna have to relax and sleep until the blizzard is over.
