𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟑: 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞
“I won. . .”
ㅤ
After confirming that the intruder had become a sandwich and DP had been added, I finally relaxed and collapsed onto my futon.
That was close this time.
After all, the Living Armor-senpai’s attacks didn’t work at all.
I felt like I was shown the stubbornness of a middle-aged man.
If I hadn’t injured his leg with the first surprise attack, I think it would have been really dangerous.
Well, if the intruder hadn’t luckily reached a spot in the boss room after the first surprise attack, where there were no pitfalls, spikes, or extending floors below, and no guillotines or hanging ceilings above, I feel like it would have ended there.
ㅤ
What I did this time was simple.
I changed the command for the Living Armor-senpai from attack to defense, from “Go all out” to “Value your life,” and then I just kept using traps.
That’s all.
ㅤ
Well, I realized it halfway through.
Since the opponent was injured, there was no need to attack aggressively, right?
Since the boss room can’t be broken unless the Living Armor-senpai is defeated, I thought that if I left the attacks to the traps and had the Living Armor-senpai just run around without getting defeated, I wouldn’t lose for the time being.
That strategy worked out perfectly.
ㅤ
“Now then.”
ㅤ
I operate the menu while lying down.
Let’s check the results of this battle.
ㅤ
First, the DP I got is 1490 DP.
The middle-aged intruder was worth 1000 DP, the Hobgoblin that died before him was worth 400 DP,
And the normal goblins that were squished were worth 90 DP for nine of them.
There were ten goblins, but one escaped.
. . .Speaking of which, that middle-aged intruder was worth 1000 DP.
How strong was he?
I’m really glad I won.
ㅤ
And there are items I got separately from the DP.
Spoils of war, right?
ㅤ
First, the equipment the middle-aged intruder had.
Whether it was fortunate that his status was high or not, the items he had were not completely crushed by the extending floor sandwiching him with the ceiling, and I was able to recover them.
. . .But on the other hand, that means that if someone stronger than him is sandwiched, they won’t die, which is a bit scary.
ㅤ
Well, anyway, the spoils of war.
One is a tool pouch-like thing hanging from his waist.
When I appraised it, it said [Storage Magic Tool].
It seems that the inside is a different space and can hold more than it appears.
An item box, huh?
It’s an item box.
There were various items inside, and I got those too.
ㅤ
I feel like this would be worth a lot of DP if I converted it, but it’s too valuable to do so.
After all, this is definitely a rare item.
I’ll keep it in case I need to use it someday.
ㅤ
Next, the weapons the middle-aged man was equipped with.
[Black Iron Sword][Black Iron Shield][Steel Breastplate][Sub-dragon Gauntlets][Sub-dragon Leather Boots], and the clothes he was wearing underneath.
They all have a high-quality smell.
Well, all of them are damaged due to the sandwiching, so if I want to use them, I’ll have to repair them with DP.
ㅤ
But there’s something that can be used without any problems even if it’s damaged.
That’s metal!
Yes!
With this, I can strengthen the Living Armor-senpai!
ㅤ
Material change for inorganic monsters.
If you try to do it with DP, it costs 6000 DP for black iron and 1500 DP for steel.
However!
If you have the actual item, it’s a different story!
It only takes 50 DP to change the equipment!
I have no choice but to do this!
ㅤ
So, I crushed the [Black Iron Sword], [Black Iron Shield], and [Steel Breastplate] and used them as materials for the Living Armor-senpai.
As a result, the Living Armor-senpai’s torso became black iron, and the helmet became steel.
. . .Somehow, the patched-up design looked uncool, so I changed the coloring using 1DP.
I made the whole body black.
With this, it should be hard to see in the darkness of the dungeon.
Besides, I think there’s something cool about a single color.
Also, I returned the unnecessary iron torso and helmet.
ㅤ
By the way, I had a thought and used 20DP to change the Living Armor-senpai’s design.
I changed it from a male armor to a slightly smaller female armor.
The reason I did this is for emergencies.
In case a monster appears that cannot be defeated even with all the dungeon’s functions, including the Living Armor-senpai.
At that time, if I wear the Living Armor-senpai and fight, my chances of winning might increase a bit.
ㅤ
After all, I am a hero.
Thanks to Grand Magic-senpai, my magic-related stats are tremendous, and if I leave the defense to the Living Armor-senpai and focus on magic, I think I can become a considerable force.
The Living Armor-senpai has zero magic ability, so I thought we could complement each other’s weaknesses.
ㅤ
Well, it’s a last resort, and I hope I never have to use it.
Besides, I can’t even use magic yet.
I don’t even know how to learn it.
At this point, it’s just a theory.
ㅤ
Next up are DP and experience points.
ㅤ
As a result of this battle, my Lv went up from 7 to 15.
Defeating strong enemies certainly gives a tremendous amount of experience points.
By the way, my status became like this.

MP has finally exceeded 10,000.
Grand Magic-senpai, you’re seriously amazing.
MP auto recovery is also growing steadily, so I can say it’s going well.
ㅤ
Other stats are also increasing, although they are like trash compared to magical power.
Well, my Lv is about the same as the previous three intruders, so I should become stronger.
. . .But, even though our Lvs are almost the same, my stats other than magical power are much lower than those three.
Even though I’m a hero.
Is it the difference between those who train and those who don’t?
I guess you can’t measure status by Lv alone.
But if I keep raising my Lv at this rate, I might become strong enough to wear the Living Armor-senpai someday.
By the way, the status of the strengthened Living Armor-senpai is like this.

Strong.
Very strong.
With this, I can probably win against this time’s middle-aged intruder just by relying on my stats.
I should have strengthened it earlier if changing the material would make it this strong.
I’ll strengthen it even more when my MP recovers tomorrow.
It’s the beginning of inflation!
ㅤ
And this is the final result.
ㅤ
I watch the middle-aged intruder’s corpse, stripped of its flesh, on the monitor using the dungeon’s collection function.
At first, I thought I’d quickly return it, but I changed my mind a little when I came here.
ㅤ
That’s because I thought the biggest factor that cornered me this time was the immaturity of the Living Armor-senpai and my combat skills.
If I had used traps more skillfully, the Living Armor-senpai wouldn’t have taken excessive damage, and
If the Living Armor-senpai had moved more skillfully, considering the stats, we would have won more normally.
ㅤ
What should I do to eliminate that weakness?
I think the only way is to practice more.
And I think it’s better to have a practice partner for that.
There’s always a limit to practicing alone.
I’ve been alone for a long time, so I’m sure I’m right.
ㅤ
So, how does that story connect to the intruder’s corpse? It’s simple.
I’m thinking of having this guy be a practice partner, or rather, a sandbag.
You might wonder what I’m talking about, but the dungeon has a function that allows you to use corpses for that purpose.
ㅤ
That function is the creation of monsters.
This time, I’m going to create a certain monster using the intruder’s corpse as material.
ㅤ
The name of that monster is [High Zombie].
It’s a higher-ranking monster of the well-known moving corpse [Zombie].
ㅤ
When I look at the description of High Zombie in the list of summonable monsters in the menu, High Zombie is a high-spec zombie that retains some of its power from when it was alive, unlike ordinary zombies.
Also, unlike ordinary zombies, it doesn’t rot over time.
There’s no need to worry about lingering grudges.
It’s perfect.
. . .Well, that’s just a theoretical story, and emotionally, I don’t really want to do it.
Even if it’s a corpse, I don’t want to keep someone I once fought against in my sanctuary.
ㅤ
“But I can’t help it. . .”
ㅤ
Fortunately, it’s not so uncomfortable that I can’t swallow it.
It’s just a corpse after all.
Let’s just think of it as a tool.
ㅤ
So, I created a High Zombie using 1500 DP.
A magic circle similar to when I summoned the Living Armor-senpai spreads around the middle-aged intruder’s corpse, and when it disappears, the bloodstained corpse, which no longer resembles a human, rises up.
I immediately used appraisal.

ㅤ
Yeah.
Well, it’s generally weakened.
All stats are reduced by about 10%.
But it’s not as much of a drop as I thought.
By the way, the (lock) display written in the Lv section means that it won’t grow any further because it’s a corpse.
I think the reason why HP is only 1 is because it’s carrying over the damage from when it was alive.
ㅤ
For now, I use DP to repair the zombie.
Like the Living Armor-senpai, zombies don’t naturally recover, so I have to use DP to heal them every time.
The cost performance is bad, but well, it can’t be helped.
ㅤ
“Nice to meet you, middle-aged zombie.”
ㅤ
And so, a middle-aged zombie joined my team.
