The report both surprised and shocked us.
It was about the appearance of people who finally captured the Dungeon's 50th floor.
Certainly, this year the adventurers had improved their skills considerably.
Groups that were able to capture the 30th floor had gradually begun to appear. The devised floor capturing strategies used the phenomenon known as barely escaping death, Zombie Attack Plan (Coming back from death Strategy)[1] or Abandoning Scapegoat Plan (For Glory Strategy)[2] and so forth.
There were people that used a frontal attack as well, accompanied by the proficiency of their skill and the improvement of their equipment, they also had their ability improved.
But, after the 30th floor, not only was there a trap that killed everyone at the beginning, the monsters also came groups and fought together.
It becomes difficult to handle that when using the unorthodox capturing methods.
So, the most recent leading capture group was mimicking the capture method that Masayuki and his party used against the guardian of the 40th floor but...
The guardian of 40th floor was Tempest Serpent.
It was the black snake I had met way back in the beginning. It had breath attack that was effective against groups, and many people had watery eyes after their equipment was destroyed by it.
Then, because I was nice, I kindly rent them equipment with the Tempest crest.
They would need to compensate us if they broke.
Well~ the earnings they got till now were completely deprived, we thought that it was a reliable guardian that would bring us a wonderful fortune.
If a person that could defeat it appeared, then...
Besides, the guardian of the 50th floor was Gozurl. He was violence incarnate when his restraint were removed.
After all, Gozurl wasn't weak. Either way, maybe thanks to the restraints placed on him while on the 30th floor, he was able to come up with a creative way of battling for this floor.
The old, foolish Gozurl, that only depending on his own strength, had disappeared.
It was the same with Mezurl. Wracking his brains together with Gozurl, the two devised their fighting style by discussing with each other.
Before we were aware of it, the arguments they would hold whenever they met were now forgotten, and the two had become close friends now.
The two alternated guarding the 50th floor.
I remembered that I set the equipment drop to 100% for the first time win only, as a reward in case someone was able to defeat them.
It was a unique class equipment, the Minos series.
It was equipment that boasted very nonsensical power named after the ruler of labyrinth, Minotaur.
The weapon was either a Minos Bardiche (Cow-Head Devil's Battleaxe)[3] or a Minos Trident (Horse-Head Devil's War Spear)[4].
There was no shield. After that was the pieces for a complete set of armor.
It was the jewel which Kurobee's best disciples had used the best of their ability to create.
Because I believed that there wouldn't be many people capable of reaching this place so easily, I had only prepared 10 sets, and no more.
In the first place, Gozurl and Mezurl had become stronger after I gave them names, so if a person capable of defeating them appeared, I might scout them.
