Chapter 297: 295

Gordino was down in front of me.

I had stabbed Gordino so hard that it's face was damaged.

(It was too strong. That was pretty close. It was kind of like a story Boss.)

I let out my thoughts on how we had defeated Gordino.

In a pretty close fight, we barely managed to win because of Prince Zew's second Extra Skill and Rosetta's Extra Skill.

"...Father, I did it."

Beside me, Prince Zew, who had already transformed back, was shaking his shoulders.

Prince Zew, who usually called himself "Yo" in first person and his father "His Majesty the Beast King", had gone back to his childhood memories.

Temi, the Astrologer, had told me that Prince Zew was given that trial so that he could never pass it.

But Prince Zew wanted to pass the trial no matter what it took.

It might have just been my imagination that General Hobah was crying louder than Prince Zew beside him.

"... we've all done it. I'll be taking sake to your graves."

Admiral Galara closed his eyes and thought about his lost comrades.

The dwarves had been the perfect Tanks.

If even one of the three Gigantic Golem had spared a little effort, several people would have died.

The Dwarves, who had risked their lives more than anyone else, all shed tears, and more than victory, they shed tears for the friends they had lost in their first attempt.

While each of them was soaking up the sentimentality of their feelings, Cecile came up to me.

"Hmm? What's the matter with you? You don't seem happy."

"I shouldn't have let you stop me."

Cecile was dissatisfied because she couldn't use her Extra Skill [Small Meteorite] because Kurena and Helmios' attacks were enough to defeat Gordino.

"No, it's not something you can use in a situation where everyone's fighting melee."

I was stunned to find out that Cecile couldn't wait to rain down another [Small Meteorite].

Cecile had also received the [Blessing of the Spirit King] and had gotten even more stronger.

But there were a rather large number of situations where Cecile's Extra Skill was not suitable for use.

"Well, yeah. Oh?"

In the midst of our conversation, a potato-faced man who was neither Prince Zeu Beast nor Admiral Galara, but had recently come of age, stood where Gordino had already disappeared, leaving only an S-rank magic stone behind.

"Dogora is disappointed."

Kurena came up to me and looked sadly at me to show how Dogora was feeling.

Dogora was not happy with that fight.

Everyone in the group, even those from different groups worked together, but he was unable to do so, and he was wondering why.

"Dogora, you didn't play a big part today."

"Hey! Oh, you."

I spoke directly to Dogora about his worries.

"Don't worry. Formar wasn't very active either."

"Hey!"

Formar clicked his tongue at me.

Formar had less of an active role in fights against Golems who had high [Endurance].

The Dungeon Boss were always difficult to damage with a bow.

But Formar himself didn't seem to mind at all.

He didn't think about anything but protecting Sophie in the first place.

(Is it any wonder that different Talents have different strengths and weaknesses in different situations? It'd have been better if he could activate his Extra Skill. Well, he was active)

If you asked me if Dogora had any impact on the battle, he had.

He had changed his Talent three times, was well equipped, and had overwhelming [Attack].

He was comparable to any Heroic Beast or Helmios' party members, but he had been overwhelmed by the battle.

He had been with friends who had always been stronger than him since he was at the Academy.

Kurena and Kiel had next level skill compared to Dogora..

(That doesn't mean you didn't do well, does it, Dogora?)

"You're not trying to be a Hero under the circumstances I've set up for you, are you?"

"!?"

Dogora gasped.

I had gathered the party, came up with a plan, and won the battle.

I told Dogora that he was getting a free ride to be a hero.

The word meant that it would be the same in the future as well.

I told Dogora with my eyes to become a Hero with his own hands, and to be able to activate his Extra Skill on his own.

"Let's check our rewards."

I chuckled, and then called out to each party in the aftermath of their sentimentality and triumph.

The cube to return to the 5th Floor was at the end of the passage, but since we had defeated the Dungeon Boss, a special cube appeared.

The special cube would give us rewards for defeating the Dungeon Boss and teleport us back to the 1st Floor.

I used A-rank Bird to reach it at once.

There was a Treasure Chest, unlike any I had ever seen, in front of the cube.

"Congratulations on defeating the Dungeon Boss..'

"Oh, oh, oh! There's something amazing. What's that shine!"

""Oh!""

"..."

The cube was saying something, but Kiel interrupted it and the cube fell silent.

Kiel was not the only one surprised.

There were indeed four rewards for defeating the Dungeon Boss and in front of us at that moment were three of them.

Originally, it was supposed to be four, but there was one special reward from Dungeon Master Digragni for conquering the S-class dungeon for the first time.

In front of the cube were three Treasure Chests: a Silver Chest, a Gold Chest, and a Rainbow Chest.

(Hohoho, the Dungeon Boss drops at least a Silver Chest? But still, there has never been a Rainbow Chest before.)

The Bronze and Iron Golems dropped Wooden, Silver or Gold Chests.

We were pretty lucky that all three of the rewards for the raid were more than a Silver Chest, considering that even Silver Chests had a drop rate of just 10%.

The reward for defeating the Dungeon Boss S-class dungeon seemed to start with a Silver Chest, and we got a Rainbow Chest as well.

"Th-this is..."

Prince Zew froze when he saw the three Treasure Chests.

"We have three Treasure Chests here. Rainbow, Gold, and Silver. We all know which ones are more valuable. So could Prince Zew, Admiral Galara, and Helmios discuss who gets what?"

"I see. So that's how it is."

Prince Zew seemed convinced.

We talked about the Treasure Chests, ignoring the cube.

The cube seemed to be waiting for us to become aware of its existence.

"Let's take a look inside first."

Helmios suggested what the chests contained before deciding on who would get what.

We opened the three Treasure Chests.

Silver Chest -- A Dimensional Storage magic tool (Extra Large)

Gold Chest -- Basic Stone Slab (Leg) for a Adamantite Golem

Rainbow Chest -- A pendant that increased [Attack] by 3000

"They're all such great treasures!"

Rosetta, the Thief leaned over and started thinking what to choose.

My friends and I watched from the sidelines as we wouldn't get any rewards.

(Seriously. The pendant increases [Attack], so that means we can raise stats with accessories that aren't Ring, right? I'll have to go around and get them.)

Weapons and armor also increased one's stats.

My heart was racing with the discovery of new accessories.

"Hm. I'm the Leader of these four parties. Can I make the decision? I want the Rainbow Chest."

"What?"

I never thought that Prince Zew would ask for the Rainbow Chest's reward so openly.

Rosetta couldn't help but let out a yelp.

Rosetta looked around, but no one seemed to object.

"That's all right. Then I want the Gold Chest."

Admiral Galara said that it was fine.

And he said that a Golem's Basic Stone Slab would be best for him.

I thought Rosetta would object but she didn't say anything.

But, certainly, there was no point in getting a Golem's Stone Slab.

Even if she sold it to the temple, they'd buy it anyway.

"Okay, okay. I'll put up with this magic tool."

With that, Rosetta took the Dimensional Storage magic tool (Extra Large) as if it were her own.

Helmios chuckled at his lack of choice.

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to use the right tools and equipment.

This time, because of the extra-large size it can store, it's going to be worth more than a whole house if sold.

The distribution of rewards ended there.

(I thought we were about to have a battle of attrition, but this world is at peace.)

Just because one fought in a raid didn't mean that the rewards would go to everyone.

I remember participating in a 50-man raid in my previous life but only1 or 2 people getting the reward for the successful raid.

Often it would devolve into a battle royale over rewards after raid battles, but everything was decided very peacefully there.

"... Oh, by the way, I have yet to thank you for saving Sarah and Ur from that day."

Saying so, Prince Zew suddenly offered the pendant to me.

He said he remembered just then, but I had decided to say that it sounded slightly actorly and awkward.

"What? Are you sure?"

"I've served my purpose here. I don't need this."

Apparently, Prince Zew wanted the Rainbow Chest's reward to give it to me and my party.

I looked at the Ten Heroic Beasts behind Prince Zew.

No one disagreed.

That had already been decided on before.

"Only one Adamantite Stone Slab is useless. Let Merle have this one."

With that said, Admiral Galara also offered the Stone Slab to me.

"Eh?"

"Thank you for letting me avenge my friends. Thanks to you, we can all move on."

Admiral Galara grinned.

Both Prince Zew and Admiral Galara decided to give their reward to Allen and his party.

"Hey! Hey! I'm not giving you this!"

Rosetta, holding the magic tool in her chest, said in a hurry.
