Part 2 of Status Time
====================================
14 August 2030.
I woke up earlier than everyone else and went hunting in the spring room as usual.
Today I'm attacking the fourth floor, so I'm saving my MP and fighting with just the Thunder Sword and the Salamander Sword. Recently, I've been trying to see if I can use two swords.
I'm going to ask Ryner to teach me when I return to Lister Imperial School.
As usual, I return before everyone's wake-up time to take a bath and prepare breakfast.
“Good morning Mars.”
Clarice woke up first.
“I'll brush my teeth and then help you with breakfast so wait for me.”
Clarice helped me with breakfast after I finish brushing my teeth.
I don't think housework, laundry, and cooking are women's work. Of course, I don't think it's a man's job either.
I think whoever notices should be the one to do it.
Well, then it becomes my job since I get up early...
But even hard housework is fun when you do it with someone you like.
“Mars, try tasting this.”
Tasting the soup Clarice made.
This is the spoon that Clarice was using to taste earlier.
I-indirect kiss... um, it’s delicious.
No, no, no, return to sanity me...
“Yes! It's delicious!"
Clarice looked satisfied after I commented above.
Then Karen woke up, and Ellie and Misha woke up long afterward.
It’s apparent that Ellie and Misha's weakness in the mornings has not been cured.
After a late breakfast, we prepared for our departure to the fourth floor.
The only luggage we carried was portable food.
“All right! We’re ready! Today is the fourth floor! Don't let your guard down!"
When I said that, everyone nodded their heads and tightened their faces.
Incidentally, I made a slight change to the formation.
Ellie, Misha, Karen, Clarice. I've changed the order.
To be more precise, Ellie was in the left vanguard, and Misha was in the right vanguard a little after her. Karen and Clarice were placed in the middle, with me at the rear.
Karen's whip can't reach them at too long of range so I put her a bit in front.
And when Karen is in danger, Clarice's Barrier magic is used to respond immediately.
Karen herself does not yet know that Clarice can use Barrier magic, or rather, I don't think she knows about Barrier magic itself.
After passing through the orc general and kobold king spring rooms respectively, we descended to the fourth floor.
When we descended to the fourth floor, a large door suddenly stood in front of us.
“This is the boss room... right?”
Clarice said, and Ellie said.
“... Maybe we should...try?...”
Ellie looked at me and I said.
“Yeah. I'll open the door."
And I opened the door to the boss's room.
The room was very large, about 300 meters square.
In the center of the room was what looked like an altar.
And inside the room, there was one magical beast and two orcs.
Name: -
Title: -
Race: Orc King
Threat: B-
Condition: Good
Age: 1 year old
Level: 5
HP: 108/108
MP: 15/15
Strength: 42
Agility: 12
Magic: 5
Dexterity: 6
Endurance: 55
Luck: 1
Special Ability: Spearmanship (Lv3/D)
Special Ability: Accelerated HP recovery (Lv3/F)
Special Ability: Summon Magic Beasts(Lv1/G)
Summon magic beasts probably summons lower-level orcs.
Based on previous trends, it is likely to be an orc lord or something similar.
The orc kings themselves seem to pose no problems at all.
Even if it is the same B- threat, the hellsnake would definitely give more trouble.
I mean, this is kind of B- rank threat level... Maybe the orc species is the weakest and the best experience farm.
But the other magic beast is a big problem.
Name: -
Title: -
Race: Chimera
Threat: B+
Condition: Good
Age: 1 year old
Level: 5
HP: 154/154
MP: 88/88

Agility: 72
Magic: 48
Dexterity: 20
Endurance: 38
Luck: 1
Special Ability: Fire Magic (Lv7/C)
Special Ability: Summon Magic Beasts (Lv 3/F)
It had the look of the chimera I imagined of.
It has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a poisonous snake.
“Oh no... there’s no way we can win this...”
Karen started shaking as she said above.
Misha, too, showed the same fearful appearance against it.
The other two, Clarice and Ellie, are looking at me.
I gave them both a look that says it was okay.
“Clarice, Ellie, Karen, and Misha, handle the orc kings! They'll probably summon lower orcs but I don't think you’ll struggle that much because of their low agility values. Fight as far away from the chimera as possible! I'll take down the chimera! The chimera's status is higher than mine but there's no reason for me to lose!"
To be honest, if you ask me if we are guaranteed a win, I can't say yes.
But to reassure Karen and Misha, I boldly said this.
And we didn't have time to have a leisurely conversation.
The chimera came running towards us.
Behind the chimera were two magical beasts that had been summoned before we knew it.
Name: -
Title: -
Race: Dire Wolf
Threat: C+
Condition: Good
Age: 1 year old
Level: 5
HP: 45/45
MP: 15/15
Strength: 30
Agility: 45
Magic: 12
Dexterity: 5
Endurance: 32
Luck: 1
Special Ability: Earth Magic (Lv 2/G)
This is bad... it's plain strong normally... if they are at this level, I feel that even the orc king is weaker than them.
But I can't say that.
I headed towards the corner of the room far from everyone else while attracting the chimera.
Obviously, I had already deployed Sylphid.
First, two dire wolves charge at me.
The chimera seemed to be looking for an opening.
I enchant my Thunder Sword with Lightning magic and slashed at the dire wolves, and they were cut like butter.
Eh?! What on earth is this... Swordsmanship level 9, Sylphid, Strength 63, Thunder Sword, Lightning magic enchant. Even though their HP and durability values are low, is it alright for a C+ threat dire wolf to be defeated in a single blow…? Lightning magic enchant doesn't even use much MP, to be honest. Perhaps this is the right way to use Lightning magic?
I hunted down the dire wolves that were summoned one after another.
The dire wolves had already turned into mere experience points.
The chimera also seemed to be summoning dire wolves continuously, either because of its low intelligence or cowardice.
In no time at all, the chimera's MP ran out.
I had already removed Sylphid and Lightning enchant and was fighting with only the Thunder Sword and Salamander Sword.
I decided to use the chimera to train.
Even though there is a considerable difference in status, a high level of swordsmanship skill can make up for the difference in status. That's what I learned from Ryner.
Of course, I wouldn't have done this if Clarice and the others were in a pinch.
Clarice and the others were relieved when they saw that I was cutting up dire wolves as easily as butter.
“As expected of Mars. I'm sure that demonic beast isn't weak either...”
“It's not at the level of being weak! It has the same status value as Misha!”
Karen said loudly, while Misha...
“I'd be like that if Mars fought me with all he had...”
At these words Ellie said.
“I'm not at my... best yet, I might get serious…but when I give it my best... I'll glow...."
Karen and Misha were crestfallen at Ellie's words.
“Now, don't just watch Mars, we're going to do it too! We can't be too careful, even if they are only orcs! They will summon more and more of them so everyone be careful!”
The orc kings had also summoned orc lords.
However, orc lords do not have the Special Ability to summon magic beasts.
This means that you only have to continuously deal with two orc kings and four orc lords at the same time.
One after another, the orc lords got summoned but each time they were summoned, they were killed by Clarice and Karen's medium and long-range attacks, and then by Ellie and Misha's attacks.
Clarice and the rests were also able to defeat the orcs without any danger at all.
Karen was the most surprised by this.
Karen could see the status of the magic beasts so she thought there was no way she could defeat them so easily.
She was reminded once again that Clarice and Ellie were also extraordinarily strong.
“You guys are in the monster class enough... although I thought I was getting pretty strong too...”
In the end, Clarice and her team also defeated the orc kings without any danger.
I'll go along with them and try to kill the chimera.
However, I didn't use Sylphid and Lightning magic but instead started using Vision.
When I started using Vision, it became easier to outwit the chimera's attacks and I was able to fight much more easily. After all, being able to see a little bit of the future is strong.
In the end, I overwhelmed and defeated the chimera from start to finish.
“Is everyone alright?"
I asked the girls, and they all nodded. Karen opened her mouth.
“I've seen how strong Mars, Clarice, and Ellie are over the past week to the point of I don’t want to. Especially in this boss room. I'm going to work just as hard as Misha and devote myself to be able to fight alongside everyone!”
“Yes! We’ll do our best!"
Misha happily ministered to Karen.
“Well, now that we apparently have our reward, let's see.”
Two treasure chests had appeared on the altar in the middle of the room.
Until now there had been value 3 treasure chests, but this time one value 4 treasure chest appeared.
From the treasure chest of value 4, the Saint's Robe valued at A which Clarice is equipped with had appeared previously so I can have super high hopes for it.
First, I opened the usual value 3 treasure chest.
Name: Flame Bracelet
Special: Magic +2
Value: C
Details: A bracelet that contains Fire magic. Reduces MP consumption by 1 when chanting Fire magic, and slightly shortens the activation time.
Ah, this is the one I gave to Ike.
Naturally, when I gave it to Karen, she happily said thank you and kissed me on the cheek.
A kiss from a beautiful girl is always nice.
Then I open the main dish the value 4 treasure chest.
If possible, I'd like to get either myself, Ellie, or Misha's armor.
Praying so, I opened the treasure chest and...
Name: War Maiden Light Armour(Valkyrie Armour)
Defense: 24
Special: Strength+1 Agility+2 Magic+2
Value: A
Details: Automatic recovery of the equipped person's HP. State Abnormality Resistance UP Fire Magic Resistance UP.
Isn't this a super jackpot? I told Ellie the effect of the equipment and gave it to her.
Then Ellie was overjoyed and hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.
At the same time, I feel two soft touches on my arms.
Hmm? If this is equipped, will the future rewards feel halved from now on?*1
“Alright, let's focus on the boss room for the remaining three days and try to level up one last time!”
And four days later...we destroyed the dungeon core and walked out of the dungeon with a large amount of loot in our hands.
The dungeon core is a small core in the boss room, and when it is destroyed, the labyrinth ceases to function and magic beasts no longer appear.
I was surprised when I learned about this at the Lister Imperial School.
I wanted to keep this labyrinth but I heard from my sister-in-law that Count Mesalius wanted to destroy it if possible so I had no choice but to destroy it.
The main reason is probably that it is located far away from the territory of Mesalius, making it difficult to manage.
It would take a good number of people to build a new labyrinth city.
The fact that they are now being attacked by the Balkus Kingdom is probably another reason why they can't be bothered with the labyrinths.
“Even so, it was a good decision to come to Count Mesalius's territory! Everyone has become so much stronger than before!”
When Misha said that, Karen responded.
"Yes, I suppose so. Misha and I are now a little closer to Mars and the others, aren't we? There's still a gap between us but it was splendid enough to realize just how much of a gap there is between us. And personally, for me, I've obtained a new strength."
I took another look at the results of everyone's hard work.

It was a fulfilling two weeks.

With just a little bit more, all of her stats will exceed 50.
Incidentally, I and Clarice are the only one whose equipment didn't change during this labyrinth search.
As for Clarice, I think she only needs an accessory type of equipment now...

If there are any other good weapons later, I want Ellie to equip them.

Karen has grown as much as Misha. You can even say that she is above Misha. Her figure holding the whip is truly like that of a queen.
Name: Misha Febrandt
Title: -
Status: Elf race, eldest daughter of Baroness Febrandt
Condition: Good
Age: 10 years old

Special Ability: Wind Magic (Lv5/D)
Equipment: Sylph Lance
Equipment: Small Shield of Illusion
Equipment: Robe of Illusion
Misha has the highest increase in level and is now stronger than ever.
She is probably stronger than Baron now.
I got the small shield of illusion in the boss room and decided to have Misha equip it.
I don't have to tell you, but she thanked me on my cheek.
Name: Small Shield of Illusion
Defense: 8
Special: Agility +2
Value: B-
Details: Makes it difficult to detect the presence of the equipped person.
The fact that it is difficult to detect the presence of Misha, who is already small and thin, may be troublesome for the enemy.
It will be increasingly difficult to detect if the illusory shoes that Guster had become available for her to use.
Thus, we returned to Mesalius in high spirits.
