Volume 1 - CH 14
Act 1-14: A Long-Nosed Monster Who Proclaims Himself as an Evil God
The reward of the special-clear privilege was 【Dragon God’s Cloth】, 【Dragon God’s Overcoat】, and 【Dragon God’s Shoes】.
All these items had three special effects, namely firmness, deterioration-free, and powerful physical attack resistance.
The clothes I had acquired inside the dungeon had become tatters now. That was why, the first two special effects, firmness and deterioration-free, had truly saved me from a lot of trouble finding or manufacturing clothes.
After taking care of various things, my strange cohabitation with Fafnir began.
Since I wanted to read my book collection at ease in the most comfortable way, I built a house with readily available wood. I think there was an elaborate book about construction amongst the books I had gathered in the dungeon.
Currently, I’m cooking the meat of the thunder cow that I harvested on the 290th floor.
By the way, the salt comes from the seawater in the ocean zone located on the 170th-180th floors. I had stored the water in my item box, poured it in the kettle-like item I got from the dungeon, and lastly, evaporated all the water in the kettle with my flame sword. I had almost infinite time in this dungeon, so I had taken my time to create a lot of salt.
「It’s so delicious, DESU!!」
Fafnir chewed on the meat I cooked. Her cheeks were puffed like that of an adorable squirrel.
「Thank god you like it.」
When I tried the meat, an unspeakable delicious flavor spread in my mouth.
Yeah, eating around the dining table with another person was truly a good thing. Rather, it was more than enough for me, who had lived a loner life for far too long.
Although I still yearned for a deadly battle against a powerful opponent due to my pride as a warrior, that yearning had eased a lot after Fafnir’s appearance.
It seemed she was also enjoying dungeon exploration and cooking with me. So it was a win-win relationship.
―13000 years after the start of the game.
We’ve reached the 400th floor. Currently, we are facing a giant creature with a long nose and a body wrapped in armor. I’ve seen this creature before in the animal picture book of another world; I found the book in this dungeon as well. If I’m not wrong, this creature’s name is 『Elephant』. Well, the one in front of me is a bi-pedal elephant though.
『Our name is Evil God Girimekhala. I praise thee for reaching this floor, newbie god!』
Yup, he’s an awfully haughty monster. An Evil God, huh… it seems he got a bit too heated in welcoming us. Rather, it seems like he’s suffering from a certain illness that affects teenagers, causing them to have delusions. I had read that in one of the books I found in the dungeon.
「Faf, what should we do to this fella?」
I spoke to Faf, otherwise known as Fafnir. The reason I called her by her shortened name was that her name was too long. This made it difficult to call her name during the battle. Thus, after hundreds of years or so, I shortened her name to Faf.
「BEAT HIM TO DEATH, DESU!」
Faf spoke in her usual adorable voice while pushing her right fist into the air.
Yup, same as ever, Faf made another dangerous declaration.
Whenever I tried to have mock combat with Faf to kill some time, before I even realized it, she would turn into a girl with a berserker-like personality. Somehow, I felt like I had failed to properly raise my daughter. I guess I have to read the book about raising children when I have time next time.
「Oi, the monster over there, I’ll give you a chance to surrender right now. As long as you surrender to me, I’ll spare your life.」
I didn’t beat around the bush and offered the beast a chance to surrender.
『You want me… to surrender?』
His huge body trembled non-stop, and he raised his long nose.
Uhm, are you moving to tears now? I mean the result of our battle became as clear as a day the moment we faced each other. The difference between our power was like that between heaven and earth. I mean, his reaction was rather similar to the reaction of a small animal that was facing an overwhelmingly strong opponent they couldn’t defeat. It was something I had read in one of the books I had found.
「Yes, you’re obviously scared of me. Whether it’s a bug or a dragon, I shall spare them as long as they don’t try to harm me.」
Even though I used to quite literally massacre all monsters before me with no exception, I had softened my attitude a lot in fear of turning Faf into a berserker lady.
『H-H-HOW DARE YOUUUU! We are the Evil God Girimekhala, the first vassal of our lord, God Mara-sama! You think the likes of a lowly, newbie god like you can talk to me in norma―』
「I see. In short, you refuse to surrender.」
Since his delusional self-introduction was getting more and more annoying, I interrupted him at once. Then, I launched a preemptive attack with 【Raikiri】, which was strengthened with 【Magic Clad】.
The absurd amount of white light released in that slash turned that self-proclaimed evil god intoa cinder at once.
「As expected of Master, nanodesu! Another instant kill, nanodesu!」
I wonder why Faf’s sensibility seems to have worsened than before. Well, whatever! It’s not like that will be a plus or minus to her common sense anyway. Let’s teach her slowly after this.
Anyhow, I acquired an item called 『Subjugation Picture Book』 as the reward for special clear.
―――――――――――――――――――――
★【Subjugation Picture Book】: When the owner of the book subjugates the creatures in 【Gods’ Ordeal】, they can store the subjugated creature’s soul in the book and recreate the subjugated creature’s flesh with their mana. The owner can also summon the subjugated creature from the book.
Only the person who used the book first was regarded as its owner, the one with the authority to summon the subjugated monsters inside the book. Moreover, the scale of the world inside the book and its storing capacity depended on the magical power of its owner.
・Item Rank: Transcendent
―――――――――――――――――――――
Suddenly, a transparent board appeared before me. 『The soul of Evil God Girimekhala has appeared. Do you want to store it in the picture book?』
Yup, nothing wrong with trying it. I pressed 【Yes】 with my right index finger, and the book opened a certain page on its own. The page had the image of a long-nosed creature.
This looks interesting. Since my time is infinite in this space, let’s try to verify the effect. If the effect is useful, let’s collect more souls starting from the first floor.
