I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: The Ocean Abyss Dungeon – 9: Sudden Change

◆ Ocean Abyss Dungeon – 1st Floor ◆

“[Undead Enhancement] activated. Request for Frioniel to evolve into [★Demonic Soldier] has been made.”

“Demon God Babylon partially altered the request and approved it. Frioniel’s evolution will commence.”

“Multiple new skills have been set for Frioniel.”

“Several of Frioniel’s skills have been enhanced.”

“Some of Frioniel’s skills have been removed.”

“Frioniel’s equipment has been changed to [Blessed Headless Demonic Soldier’s Armor +7].”

“Frioniel’s stats have significantly increased.”

“Frioniel’s evolution into [★Demonic Soldier] is complete.”

He’s become a higher rank—or rather, a captain now…!? And this evolution requires permission from Babylon-chan!? I wonder if it’s a special class as a bonus for high contribution to Babylon-chan? But having my Oniichan as a Demonic Soldier… Well, it feels kind of strange since he had this common soldier vibe, doesn’t it!?

“Σ(´∀｀；)！？”

“Starting today, Oniichan is a Demonic Soldier. I just evolved him on my own.”

“d(´∀｀)b”

“I”m glad you like it. Now, let’s take a look at your new stats, shall we?”

Wow, a lot has changed…! Previously, the knightly skills and headless knight skills were separate, but now they are integrated under Demonic Soldier. It seems like skills from the knight era, previously used in the headless knight state, have been adjusted to fit the current form, which is nice. There are some skills whose descriptions are a bit hard to imagine, but above all, Oniichan…

“You’re looking pretty red, Oniichan…”

“That color really stands out!”

“Σ(´∀｀；)！？”

“My, you’ve turned into quite a flashy red, haven’t you, ghost sir.”

“Why not? It practically screams ‘Come at me!'”

“Red, knight, noticeable, flashy… hmm… red…”

“Laura-chan, you don’t have to look for puns!”

“Y-you found out…!?”

“Woof!! (So cool!)”

“You’re likely to be the first target for monsters with that color…!”

“(*´ω｀)b”

Oniichan is really red. With such a bright red, it might have some hidden effects like increased aggro… But red is a sign of strength, like the orca here. Red means strong. Oh right, that reminds me of the orca. We need to share information and resume the hunt.

“So, everyone, sorry about that. That was the boss monster we’re after, the penalty monster that appears suddenly if you keep moving while running. There’s a black one and a red one. I can quickly take down the black one, but the red one has a weak spot: the shining part inside its mouth that lights up when it opens to fire that beam! From now on, let’s have big sis give the attack signal just before that, and Chiyo-chan will take it down swiftly. Let’s go with that plan!”

“Understood!”

“Got it!”

“And I’ll…”

“Laura-chan, you’ll be the star in the next dungeon!”

“Okaaay…”

“Oh!!! I forgot it can be stopped with White Silent Mute Blizzard!!”

“Aaaaaahhh!!!!”

“Awooo~~~!!!”

“Aaah… It’s been stopped…”

Right, I thought I was the only one who messed up, but Lia-chan also forgot her effective attack! But that one needs to be timed perfectly to hit when the mouth is open; if it’s even a little off, it might end up being blocked by the closed mouth, so it’s not a perfect solution. If Chiyo-chan messes up, Lia-chan should use Mute Blizzard, and Chiyo-chan should use Suigetsu to dodge and recover…

“It’s a treasure chest!!!”

“Oh!!! Even heavier than life!!!”

“Seems like a day full of forgetfulness…”

“Woof…? (Is everyone thinking about the desert?)”

“Maybe… Feels like we can’t fully concentrate on this dungeon…”

“We must be careful, one wrong step and we could die!”

“With Donta’s evolution nearing, we need to prepare thoroughly so he can pay back for the beating he took last time.”

There’s a lot we seem to be forgetting… Last time we mostly handled things with momentum, so some crucial parts might be completely overlooked or forgotten. Well, forgetting the weak spot was totally my fault…
“Alright, the basic plan is: big sis and Chiyo-chan will pair up to hunt the red ones. If Chiyo-chan fails, Lia-chan will use Mute Blizzard to cover, and Chiyo-chan will use Aqua Moon to evade and come back. Let’s go with this plan. I’ll take down the black ones!”

“Understood!”

“That should work! I’ll prepare properly too!”

“Frioniel and Laura will stay back and get ready for the next dungeon, where they’ll have their turn to shine.”

“Fuwaa~i…”

“(｀・ω・)b”

“Woof!! Woof? (I’ll run hard! Are you ready?)”

“Pers-chan, adapt as needed…! Aegis, I”m counting on you!”

“Yes, then onto the next—treasure chest!!”

“Aaaaaahhhh~~!!”

Why is today so unorganized…? By the way, the treasure chest was golden, and Pers-chan carried its contents. Donta, there was no food inside. What a pity… But we got two Emblems of the Conqueror, so that’s a nice haul! Now, let’s move on to the next floor!

◆ Ocean Abyss Dungeon – 7th Floor ◆

After that, not a single killer whale appeared. It really hit home that their spawn rate is low. But we safely defeated 20 killer orcas and earned 24M experience points! So, take a look at this log!

“Donta has leveled up to 50. Level cap reached. Evolution conditions not met.”

Donta reached the max level but couldn’t evolve!! And it seems like the problem isn’t with the item materials but something about Donta himself. It might be because he got fat from overeating, so we’ll need to take him back to the Demon Shrine and have the chubby dog whip him into shape. Get ready for it later, Donta.

As for the others’ levels: Lia-chan is at level 47, Oniichan at level 15, Chiyo-chan at level 22, big sis at level 31, and Laura-chan at level 21. Lia-chan and big sis have risen quite a bit, but Chiyo-chan and Laura-chan haven’t gained much. They’re in a league of their own, I guess… Unless a red one appears on every floor, those two aren’t likely to level up much. By the way, Pers-chan and I finally reached level 82. Leveling up has become really tough here, with finite experience sources…

“So, the Great Whale ship, huh…”

“Oh…! The Great Whale ship, I know about that… I, uh… made it go berserk!”

“Laura-chan, you suddenly started calling it ‘that thing’!? And you’re the one who made it go berserk, right?”

“It should calm down with Requiem.. Then, we can disassemble it all we want!”

“Disassemble all we want…”

Just when we thought all that was left was the Great Whale ship, Laura-chan unexpectedly said she knew about it. So, it was Laura-chan who made it go berserk… She can drive ships and machines mad with her singing voice, huh? It wasn’t because it was abandoned for years and went out of control; it was Laura-chan’s singing voice after all…

And there’s a way to calm it down? So, we can disassemble it at will? Then, if we can pacify that huge mech-whale, let’s surround it and strip all its armor! Yes, let’s do that!!

“Then, shall we have Laura-chan sing?”

“Yay! I can finally be useful~!”

“Then it’ll be easy! As long as I take the initial insta-death beam, the rest will be a piece of cake!”

“There will be a more powerful insta-death beam than the red orca’s at first, so while Donta with Aegis is blocking it, let’s hide in the shadows! Then it’ll switch to heat exhaust mode, and Laura-chan can sing the Requiem, disassemble all the armor, and finish it off! This time, it’s simple!”

“Understood! It’s reassuring that the final enemy seems easy.”

“No water magic was allowed, right?”

“(´∀｀)”

“Woof!! (This time, we know what to expect!)”

“Seems easy enough.”

“The transfer portal to the boss area has been activated. Transferring in 30 seconds.”

Last time, things almost turned into a disaster, but now we”ve got it under control! Since Laura-chan will stop the boss, will the rewards change based on how we defeat it? If we strip and break all the armor, maybe we’ll get bonus rewards?! Sounds likely—can’t wait!!

“Submerge, Negative Aura!”

“For 3 minutes, all party members’ stats increased by 41.”

“Alright, let’s go all out!!”

“Tornado has activated [Attack Command], increasing attack power by 1.5 times for 1 minute.”

“Aegis!”

“Donta is now in [Penetrate-3] state.”

“3…2…1…0. Transferring.”

Knowing what to do makes this easy! Alright, the first thing is the Crimson Blaster, right? Bring it on!

“H-A-L-L-O? Good bye!”

“The Rampaging Great Whale Ship (Lv. 75) has fired [Crimson Blaster].”

“Donta has nullified [Crimson Blaster].”

“The Rampaging Great Whale Ship (Lv. 75) has entered [Heat Exhaust Mode].”

Haha, haha… Mwahahaha!! How does it feel to have your proud Crimson Blaster rendered useless!? I”m feeling fantastic!!

“Grieve not, o dead. Entrust yourself to me, and I shall save and heal. Eternal rest be here, to the grieving dead, compassion—”

“Lorelei has begun singing [Requiem].”

“H-A-L-L——o——?”

“H-A-L-L——…H-E-L-P…H-E-L…”

Whoa, whoa…? It’s working…? It’s working! It seems to have stopped, the sound of its movement is quiet—

“…GAGAGAGAGA…!!! H-E-L-L!!!! GO TO HELL!!!! :> :> :> :> GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!! :> :> :> :>”

Wha—!? What is this log…!?

“The Rampaging Great Whale Ship (Lv. 75) has entered [Heat Rampage Mode].”

“The Rampaging Great Whale Ship (Lv. 75) has activated [Emergency Transformation! All-Out Resistance Mode].”

“GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!! :> :> :> :>”

“It has transformed into the Hellbound Undersea Whale Train, Hell Whale (Lv,????)!”

“Responding to the high-speed movement of the Hellbound Undersea Whale Train, Hell Whale (Lv,????), [True Slayer (Lv,????)] has intruded!”

“Responding to the high-speed movement of the Hellbound Undersea Whale Train, Hell Whale (Lv,????), [True Exterminator (Lv,????)] has intruded!”

“”GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!””

“Gyaaaaaaaa–!!!!”

“What is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis–!?”

Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! What, what, is thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
