Chapter 168: The Middle Layer

“We managed to defeat it, didn’t we?”

“Yeah.”

As we gather to retrieve Dyvolus’s magic stone, Aria speaks up, and Shurin, tilting his head, asks.

“But how did you figure out that water was its weakness?”

“To be precise, it’s not that water was the weakness, but rather Serena’s spells. When Aria slashed its left arm, that area was deeply wounded… where Serena’s water bullet struck.”

I continue explaining, indicating the spot where the water bullet hit.

“Judging from the carving on the door and the title of martyrdom, Dyvolus was likely born from the regrets of those sacrificed for power and faith. Therefore, Serena, who mourns and commemorates the sacrifices, in other words, a cleric, had a strong effect with her spells.”

“I see… But why wasn’t this discovered until now?”

“The main reason is probably that there hasn’t been a cleric capable of reaching this far.”

Unlike the Hume Continent, religion is not highly valued on the Grusio Continent. While there are adventurers who become adventurers for faith, they are few and far between.

Even if one could understand the meaning of the carving on the door, they wouldn’t think to bring someone who isn’t supposed to fight originally.

“So… Shall we continue forward for now?”

“Let’s take a break for now. We’re already challenging the most difficult dungeon… It’s better to rest while we can, or else we’ll accumulate stress in places we can’t see.”

“True, and since we defeated the mid-boss, this room will be a safe zone for a while.”

In boss rooms, no monsters other than the boss appear. Once defeated, the room becomes free from attacks until the boss respawns.

It’s a method commonly used by seasoned adventurers, as bosses typically take a considerable amount of time to respawn.

“However, there’s still a possibility that Fifth may tamper with something… Let’s take turns keeping watch.”

After resting for about two hours to recover our depleted stamina and magic power, we head towards the staircase at the back. Beyond this point lies an area where even Gairon and his companions had no choice but to turn back, even in peacetime.

The Middle Layer of the “Tower of Challenge to the Heavens”… The “Hall of Struggle and Conquest,” where the number of monsters and insidious traps far exceeds those in the lower layers, awaits us…
