Currently, after taking a few days to conquer the monoliths, we got 168 pieces. By creating a set of clones with strong abilities, I calculated that there are a total of 200 pieces.
Currently, there are only 32 more pieces left. The rewards for which are provided by completing some tasks that are located quite far from the exit.
Tasks like:
"Deliver 3 pieces [Fiery Sapphire Star Roses]," "In the area of Armadroz, bring an offering to the altar," relatively simple tasks - 15 pieces awarded.
"Alice's request - kill the [Knight Commander of the Queen of Roses]" or "Capture the Mimic [Fugitive Pink Rabbit] alive", slightly troublesome jobs that require a high level of combat power - 12 pieces awarded.
"A flaming rose sat perched upon it, a blue kingfisher, should not be placed in a golden pot", "Mother of life, embracing the blue seeds, flowering before the flames, does not disintegrate", riddles such as these required deep thought to uncover the tasks to complete it - 5 pieces awarded.
Perhaps, in such circumstances, acting on the information received from my clones may be the best course of action. The delivery tasks could be performed using the shortest routes via the mind map, but because we were training Avenger and company, I did not interfere.
However, his training through this dungeon is enough, and we need to finish this quickly. Though it took quite a while, in the evening, we completed the last task from the monoliths.
After that, we heard music as if it were blessing us. While the music echoed throughout the dungeon, it seemed like the music was limited to our party. Or maybe the music was just in my head. While thinking of useless things again, the earth trembled and there was a sound that boomed through the dungeon.
"Gogogogogo..."
A monolith staircase appeared from the earth. Heading down, it apparently leads to the boss room. I have to admit, it's very theatrical. We descended the bluish stairs that were made of silver metal and illuminated by glowing roses that were growing on the walls.
The staircase was much shorter than I expected. We reached the bottom in just a minute. Along the way, we found a place to rest, an opening just a few tens of meters in diameter and the only waiting room of the dungeon floor. Normally, we would have rested, but we just walked past, throwing open the gates, and went inside.
From the entrance, straight ahead stretches a stone-paved road 4 meters in width. Above it are a few rose arches and all the rest of the space is filled with red, white, yellow, and purple roses separated by color.
It seems that if you just went down off the stone road, you would drown in this sea of roses. On the ceiling was the color of the night sky. Like a star in the center, there was a huge blue rose (probably the same type as in the city center), which emits blue light, like the moon.
An illusionary show. The boss room is about 300 meters in width and 100 meters high. Not very broad, and compared to the first floor, it looks very modest. But apparently, there was some reason for this. The color of roses, like a fold in the picture, interested me. Surely it doesn't have any meaning.
While I was thinking about it, a throne rose from beneath the ground, made of a huge blue rose, on which sat the dungeon boss.
Dungeon boss [Dark Blue Roses] [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses], was incredibly beautiful like Doriane-san, the Dryad. Silver blue hair woven into braids, an elegant tiara adorned with roses. Her deep blue, slightly sad eyes, like a person with a great devilish [charm] so strong that one look was enough to pull out the human soul.
White soft skin, so tender that it seems ready to melt when touched, and dressed in her gorgeous blue dress, decorated with ornaments to only emphasize her charm.
The skirt, like an inverted blue rose, looked very cute, but at the same time, gave the impression that underneath lies something quite unprecedented.
Frankly, she looks more like a flower princess than an Empress. But being a dungeon boss, her skills are real. A few seconds after we entered the room, she slowly and elegantly rose from her throne, in her hands appeared a staff of blue roses that came from nowhere, and the room rang with her beautiful voice.
The voice echoed throughout the room. All around us, the surrounding Roses began to move.
Gathering together, they began to form humanoid figures. [Rose Knights], we have already seen enough of them in the first floor. Their individual abilities are not so high, but there are already around 1,000.
They do not allow us to approach the [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses], their lady, who they are obliged to protect. Before we lined the ranks of the Knights and hiding from view, the [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses].
In addition, depending on the color of the [Rose Knights], the equipment varies. First, yellow-lined rows of knights, carrying a huge shield bigger than their own height; then knights in red, armed with enormous spears, just under 5 meters long, which they put forward through the gaps in the shield panels; then purple knights, armed with bows and arrows; and in the back the white knights with staffs and wands.
At the same time, they are very coordinated, moving like a single organism. Normally, fighting them is like trying to fight with an army. But I don't care. I would just like to quickly deal with all of this. Because Kanami-chan and company stepped back, I alone came forward.
Ignoring the lances aimed at me, I took the scarlet spear and put in it 10 times more mana than is necessary to activate the [Army of Bloody Scarlet Copies].
After that, the shape of the Crimson spears strangely begins to change, while violently radiating a glow. Feeling the unexpected response, I began to pour more mana into it, as well as adding part of my accumulated [Divine Power].
Before that, under the infusion of such mana the [Calling Lightning Shark Rope] became [Demonic Shark Rope Thunder Dragon]. This time, I decided to do the same thing but added [Divine Power].
In context, there should be almost no difference, because the chance of success is quite high. The moment I added [Divine Power], something unusual happened. The center of the Crimson Spears sank into the floor, creating a black void.
Instinctively, Kanami-chan and company quickly retreated to the walls. Space began to roll into a funnel and the dungeon itself began to crack at the seams. I carried the spear in my hand and all those who just approached me, were swallowed by the darkness.
Before such a distortion, the [Rose Knights] couldn't move.
It may sound strange if I say it myself, the mana is nothing, but to pour [Divine Power], I think I went too far... It is interesting, so it's fine. Even I'm excited, looking at how a spear likes devouring space with the dungeon.
Fortunately, a few tens of seconds later, the phenomenon successfully completed.
At that moment, in my head sounded an alert:
[Magical object of the[Legendary]Class of conditions [Arms of The Living God].]
[Magical item of the[Legendary]Class[Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorns]condition of release[Use of a Living God],[Demonic Hammer of Living God][Transcendental Shipping]has been achieved.]
[[Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorns]becomes a magical object of the[Phantasmal]Class[Torturing mechanism of a Fierce God, Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole].]
Without thinking, I used [Greater Tool Appraisal] in order to verify its capabilities.
Title:[Torture Mechanism of a Fierce God, Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole]
Classification: Living God Device Weapon
Grade:[Phantasmal]class
Ability:[Fierce God's Bloody Feast of a Thousand Thorns][Temple Thirst for Fresh Blood][Bearing Scarlet Desperate Proclamation of The Kingdom][The Fierce God's Two-Headed Dragon of Origin and Demise][Heretical Retribution][Transformation of Divine Power][Pierce the Wicked][Equipment of the Living God][■■][■■][■■][■■]
[Note:[Yatendouji]as a subspecies[Living God]investing[Divine Power]in[Starving Impaler of A Thousand Thorns]converts it into a magical object[Phantasmal]class[Device of the Living God].]
This spear is painted in a sinister scarlet, piercing everything and has many terrible abilities.
[Only Yatendouji and those he has given permission to touch this weapon are able to do so. Any person who touches it without permission will have an unimaginable disaster befall them.]
[As the[Device of a Living God], to destroy - save for special exceptions is not possible.]
[Additional information is possible, do you wish to attempt to view this information?
[≪YES≫ ≪NO≫]
Everything seems clear, except for the [Device Living God], because of that I decided to click [Yes].
Term:[Device of the Living God]
Meaning: something that has been created by a subspecies [Living God] extremely close to [Divinity], investing his own [Divine Power] in a magical object of the [Legendary] class or higher.
Its abilities are on par with a [Sacred Treasure], it contains a special ability and when certain conditions are clear, it is capable of further improvement.
If the creator is a [Fierce God] it will be a [Device of the Living God]. For a [Dragon God], it will be [Sacred Treasure of the Dragon God]. Depending on the race, the name will be different, but they are classified the same way.
I understand. It is clear why the Scarlet Spear has become a [Device of a Living God] . The spear has gained a sinister color of blood and the tip is now thicker and longer.
At the base, a decoration appeared in the form of an infinite dragon devouring its own tail similar to Ouroboros. Also, if you look closely, his eyes move, and if you bring your finger near, he might even try to bite. Apparently, he's very territorial on his part of the spear.
In addition, there is a strange difference in the details, but let's leave that for now. Taking the Red Spear while it's emitting an overwhelming presence, I stuck it into the ground, put in enough mana and activated its abilities.
[Activated hereditary unique ability to [Thirsty Scarlet Spear Pole][Fierce God's Bloody Feast of a Thousand Thorns].]
As soon as it was activated, it was all over. Everything in sight is filled with a forest of Red Spear copies. Before, at the time of activation of [Army of Bloody Scarlet Copies], there would be a lot of red spears, but this time it is a little different.
[Fierce God's Bloody Feast of a Thousand Thorns] is able to even change the size of the copies of themselves. The length can change up to 5 times and the thickness is up to 20 times as much.
If increased to the limit, it becomes the size of a tree. Bodies caught in the forest of scarlet spear copies have been transfixed from feet to the top, or torn to shreds. In the middle of the floor, even if it was protected by the knights, the [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses] had a spear sticking through exactly where its core was.
Not a minute had passed since the battle began before it ended. I was letting off some steam, but I think it was a let-down.
Removing the real body of the Scarlet Spear from the ground, the forest of copies disappear. Collecting the body of the [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses] got me in a very good mood, as long it had not yet disappeared.
[Dungeon boss [Empress of Colors, Blue Roses] successfully eliminated.]
[History of God [Blue Rose Garden] conditions of passage [One Hit Kill] [Destruction of the Army] [Capture of the Empress] have been met.]
[Yatendouji granted a special ability [Skies Blue Roses].]
[Yatendouji, as a bonus for the first elimination of the boss, will be sent the treasure chest [Princess Blue Rose].]
[As a privilege for conquering, the ban on the use of the Warp Gate is lifted.]
[Please note that only those who conquered the dungeon can use the Warp Gate.]
[For those who have Awakened the Psalms／The key figures of God's Lost Psalms, a part of the [Demigod of Roses]'s divine power will be granted.]
[As the collector is an important figure of a Greater God, the quality of the Divine Power collected will be inferior.]
[Portions of the Divine Power rejected by this rule will be turned into an object.]
[Yatendouji has obtained the[Demigod of Roses' Pruners]!!!]
[Conforming to the conditions, it is possible to seize the[Blue Rose Garden Keep].]
[Will you do so?]
[≪YES≫ ≪NO≫]
This time I received [Sacred Treasure] [Demigod Rose Pruners]. It looked like small blades. They flew in an arc before landing on the palm of my hands.
After putting the [Sacred Treasure] and Treasure chest into my item box, I chose [Yes].
[Special Ability[Dungeon Plunder]has been invoked.]
[At this moment, control of the[Blue Rose Garden Keep]will shift from the[Demigod of Roses]to Yatendouji.]
[From now on, please manage the Dungeon at your own discretion.]
With that, our goal has been achieved here. Gripped by a thought, to my own surprise, I felt like I didn't want to engage in a dungeon conquest of this type in the near future.
After having dealt with the chests, using the Warp Gate, we moved to the street of the city in order to have a rest in the hotel.
