The will-o-the-wisps, which floated lightly, attacked in large quantities.

Ive got it!

Elena took a step forward and began to cast magic.

Together with aJu!sound, the rain that Elena created using Water Magic got rid of the wil-o-the-wisps in succession.

And then, the wil-o-the-wisps run about trying to escape.

However, the rain, which Elena created, doesnt have the power like the last time Ive seen it.

I thought shes going easy on them, but it seems to be different.

Perhaps, when the weather system magic is used outside the dungeon, the power will increase.

But still, water seemed to be the weakness of the wil-o-the-wisps, most of them that blocked our way had disappeared. The few wil-o-the-wisps that survived were repelled using Aya and Hildas fire-engines hosing-down-like water attack.

I, too, sliced several of them that attacked from right behind us into two with the White Belt Sword and we gained a complete shutout victory.

Onii-chan, they were weaker than some in the lower floors.

Well, all of us can use Water Magic

and due to us joining together, it will be such a thing.

Other than such a thing,

the White Belt SwordsFire attributed monster subjugationtrial had been cleared with 10/10 during the fight just now. The remaining trials were Wind and Earth with 5 each.

Well, lets do the trials slowly.

Afterwards, we were able to find the stairs towards the seventeenth floor without difficulty.

***

When we went to the seventeenth floor, the sea of clouds spread out again.

However, the area is dark this time.

The atmosphere seems to be similar to the moment when the sun sets.

When I checked the current time using my smartphone, its still morning.

Its probably this floors special phenomenon.

When we advance through the dark

Ah!Thunderhead!

The Thunderhead that appeared three floors belowin the fourteenth floorappeared again.

However, its appearance seems to be different from the fourteenth floors Thunderhead.

This Thunderhead is black, isnt it?

At first, I thought that the area is dark, but its different after all.

The fourteenth floors Thunderhead was white,

the Thunderhead here was black like a rain cloud.

When I usedAppraisal, it seems to be calledDark Thunderhead.

What a simple name.

When we wait and see,

the Thunderheads slowly began to gather around us.

And then, we had been encircled by the Dark Thunderhead.

Onii-chan, its dark.

The Dark Thunderheads that surrounded us blocked the light, making the area even darker.

And then, finally, it became pitch dark.

I will light a fire.

Thanks to Hilda lighting a fire using magic, were somehow able to see,

but because of the Dark Thunderhead, we cant see anything at all from about 20 m ahead.

Then, a Predicted Attack Area aimed at Hilda suddenly appeared,

I promptly wedge myself in between and erected a barrier.

*Gakin.*

Something like black tentacles stretched out from the Dark Thunderheads crowding around the vicinity.

Black tentacles

Uhg, its an unpleasant trauma

Well get nowhere as it is.

Hilda. Since I will take charge of the light, take charge of the offensive.

Yes.

I lit up the area with Incandescent Light Bulb Magic

while Hilda began attacking the surrounding Dark Thunderhead.

Like the Thunderhead, fire seemed to be the weakness of the Dark Thunderhead; a hole opened in the encirclement.

After that, while Elena and I were defending, Hilda was attacking at the same time

and we somehow managed to annihilate the Dark Thunderheads.

N?What was Aya doing, you ask?

She wasnt able to useDownburstwith the Dark Thunderheads blocking above,

so she was going to do something with a normal Wind Gust, but

Even if its possible to push the Dark Thunderheads away with Wind, it cant inflict damage, so they are immediately restored back to before.

So Aya gave up attacking and just helped lighting up the area using Light Magic.

Shes frustrated because she cant play an active role, but theres such a thing sometimes, too.

We defeated all the Dark Thunderheads, but they didnt drop any magic stones.

***

When we climbed up to the eighteenth floor, there was a snow country.

Or perhaps I should say, it was a snowy mountain.

Its snow this time, huh~.Its cold~.

Why can Aya only say an impression at the same level as a primary school kid all the time?

Aya and the others took out ski wear from theMagic Stone of Storagefor their own use and began to change clothes.

Although I say changing clothes, is it particularly alright since they only wore it over the clothes they were wearing just now?

Elena and Hildas ski wears are only hand-me-down clothes that Aya used to wear in the olden days.

We controlled the snow under our feet withIce Magicso that our feet wouldnt sink into the snow, making our advance faster.

Ah, onii-chan, theres something!

Indeed, it seems to be a monster that has hidden itself,

be careful everyone.

Yes.

And then, what came out from within the lumpy snow

was a small snowman.

And then, the snowman lightly floats into the air.

When I usedAppraisal, it seems to be a monster calledSnow Child.

Whats that!?Its cute~.

When Aya tried to approach it carelessly

the Snow Child began to attack!

Well, although I say attack, it only throws a snowball, though.

It isnt painful even if it hit

and since we are wearing ski wear, we neither get wet nor feel cold.

As a matter of fact, its no skin off our noses.

It became pitiful to kill the Snow Child who does only something like that,

we decided to hurry ahead while dodging the snowballs that it threw.

When we were advancing for a while, the Snow Child who was throwing snowball at us began to gradually increase.

Umu, what to do.

And then, when we advanced further, we had been surrounded by Snow Children.

Its unfavorable as expected, huh?

More than 100 Snow Children surrounds us.

And then, the Snow Children began dancing a dance of some kind around us.

Then, the weather of the silent snowy mountain suddenly changed and became a blizzard.

We shouldve killed them as expected, huh.

Yeah.

Aya and Elena became Hildas protection from the wind.

Hilda attacked the Snow Children with flame.

The Snow Child was just slightly hit by the flame and simply melted.

Hilda defeated all the Snow Children completely

and at the same time, the blizzard calmed down, too.

All of them melted, huh.

Hilda looks a little sad.

Well, theres no helping it since the opponent is a monster.

Ah.

Aya notices something and utters a cry.

When we turn towards there, too

From the remains of the Snow Child who melted a short while ago, a new Snow Child was born again.

And then, they throw snowballs again incorrigibly.

Theyre persistent fellows, huh~.

We began to look for the next floors stairs while dodging the snowballs again.
