𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎: ＶＳ𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫

I’m surprised.

I never thought that a man in such a weakened state, using his true equipment, would make it all the way to the boss room.

This dungeon is still far from being solid, after all.

We need to work even harder.

ㅤ

🔹𝐀𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦 ― 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐰i𝐭𝐡 “𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬” 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬🔹

Putting that aside, it’s time for defense now.

The door to the boss room, opened by the man using the true equipment, closes with its usual force.

With this, neither of us can escape.

Now, the Living Armor-senpai manual control mode.

Let’s make a grand debut!

ㅤ

“Fire at will!”

ㅤ

First, as a greeting.

Arrows are fired all at once from the wall, aiming at the man who uses true equipment.

However, the man who uses true equipment dodged it.

Despite being weakened by poison, he surprisingly jumps into the air with agile movements to avoid it.

But, that’s a bad move, isn’t it?

As expected, it seems that his head is affected by the poison, and he can’t make proper judgments.

ㅤ

A large number of arrows, with their firing direction adjusted, attack the true equipment user and has evaded into the sky.

ㅤ

Just because there’s a wall, it doesn’t mean that arrows can only be fired horizontally.

The angle of the firing port can be adjusted as much as needed.

Also, these arrows are coated with poison, so if you’re grazed by them, your symptoms will worsen.

By the way, the boss room is also filled with deadly poison mist.

Just because you’ve escaped the deadly poison floor, it doesn’t mean you’re free from the threat of poison.

ㅤ

Some of the fired arrows hit the man who uses true equipment and is unable to move in the sky.

I think it’s amazing that he was able to knock down most of the arrows by spinning his spear, but it seems he couldn’t completely defend against them.

ㅤ

And right above the true equipment user, there was a guillotine set up on the ceiling, so it was activated.

Whether he didn’t notice the guillotine falling among the arrows until the last moment or his response was fatally delayed, the true equipment user had one of his arms severed.

ㅤ

However, he is indeed the “Immortal Hero.”

The moment his arm was severed, his HP recovered, and his arm regenerated in an instant.

Well, it’s a super recovery in exchange for MP, so the current attack is not a waste.

ㅤ

Furthermore, while the true equipment user is still in the sky, I’ll shoot a lot more arrows.

After somehow dealing with that and landing on the ground, this time a new floor trap, a landmine, explodes.

Dealing damage and blowing the true equipment user away with the blast.

The floor where he was blown away is covered with spikes.

Learning from the previous experience with the middle-aged zombie, the floor of the current boss room is tightly packed with traps, leaving almost no gaps.

I didn’t skimp on DP for strengthening this room as the last stronghold.

ㅤ

. . .In fact, I can overwhelm him with just traps for now.

The Living Armor-senpai hasn’t moved a single step from the starting point.

Even though this battle is supposed to be the debut of the Living Armor-senpai’s manual control mode.

Well, there’s nothing better than winning overwhelmingly, so I have no complaints.

ㅤ

And the true equipment user, who forcibly escaped from the spikes that pierced his body, fell into a pitfall on the floor next to him.

Is it over with a barrage of arrows while he can’t move?

That’s what I thought when. . .

ㅤ

[《Freeze》]!

ㅤ

The true equipment user activates a powerful ice magic, freezing the entire floor.

I forgot?!

That’s right, he had an ice magic skill!

With this, the floor traps are sealed.

Landmines and spikes might be usable by breaking through the ice wall, but pitfalls are completely nullified.

I should have made a flame trap as well.

ㅤ

[《Fireball》]!

ㅤ

As I was thinking that, the true equipment user cast fire magic on himself.

A large ball of fire floats like the sun in the center of the boss room.

This is probably to secure his field of vision.

His lantern was destroyed in the first attack.

ㅤ

[Haahhhhh!]

ㅤ

Having nullified the floor traps and secured his field of vision, the true equipment user charges at the Living Armor-senpai as if squeezing out his last strength.

Yes, the last.

This is his last strength.

ㅤ

The true equipment user’s MP is almost depleted due to the consumption on the deadly poison floor and the multiple fatal injuries healed during the battle in the boss room, as well as the two spells he just used.

Therefore, this is his last special attack.

The Living Armor-senpai, under my control, confronts it head-on.

ㅤ

“《Sonic Lance》!”

ㅤ

A technique that pours all of his remaining MP.

The spear arts approach the Living Armor-senpai.

The Living Armor-senpai, 

ㅤ

Using his shield, he lightly deflects it.

ㅤ

[What?!]

ㅤ

It was like a middle-aged zombie, a fluent technique.

Yes.

I am definitely absorbing that technique during my special training with the middle-aged zombie!

Well, with my current skill level, it’s all I can do to deflect a telephone punch.

𝐓𝐥-𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚: (𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡) 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞.

ㅤ

However, the fact remains that I deflected the full-force blow of the true equipment user without taking any damage.

ㅤ

[N, No way. . .]

ㅤ

The true equipment user collapses with a look of despair on his face.

His MP is completely depleted, and the true equipment is deactivated.

There is nothing left to protect him now.

ㅤ

I aim all the arrow launchers on the wall at the true equipment user.

ㅤ

Perhaps it’s because the fireball from earlier is still there, but the true equipment user seems to understand what’s happening.

His face turns pale in an instant.

ㅤ

[Huh?! Wait, wait! Help me! I don’t want to die!]

ㅤ

I won’t wait.

If I hesitate, he might use MP auto recovery and activate true equipment again.

So, I’ll finish this quickly.

ㅤ

I control the Living Armor-senpai, raising his sword towards the ceiling.

Then, I make him swing it down.

Just like a conductor’s baton, the moment the Living Armor-senpai’s sword is swung down, I activate the trap.

Countless arrows pierce the true equipment user’s body, killing him instantly.

I’m sure that from the moment the Living Armor-senpai’s sword was raised to the moment it was swung down,

he must have felt like a criminal waiting for his execution, and it must have been terrifying.

I think it’s a fitting end for a scumbag who would use his friends as bait.

. . .Well, I’m not exactly someone who can call others scumbags.

In the first place, I’m not even human anymore.

I’m a dungeon master.

ㅤ

Anyway, with that said.

Killing the true equipment user has brought in a considerable amount of DP.

With this, all the intruders this time have been wiped out, except for the one who is being toyed with by the goblins.

I survived again this time.

And, I think it was good to test the new system of the boss room in actual combat.

But, fighting for my life is really tiring. . .

I’ll finish checking the results and get some rest soon.

ㅤ

So, I sit down on a fluffy sofa and move on to checking the results.

Heh.

I’ve become quite impressive.
