Chapter 59: You’re Doing RTA?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The teleportation portal appeared after I defeated the hidden boss, Tarasque. I told Koto and Miku to return first before me.

“The three of you should head back first. I’m planning to stop by the 30th floor and defeat the boss before returning.”

〈The 30th floor!?〉

〈Defeat the boss before returning…〉

〈What kind of detour is that? LOLOLOLOLOL〉

〈Defeating the boss is the main objective for normal people!〉

〈Not sure what’s going on, but I’m happy the livestream is going to go on for a little bit longer!〉

“Defeat the boss, you said… But Ken-san, the 30th floor is 10 floors away, right?”

“Yeah. It will probably take me at least an hour to reach the boss.”

〈Is he going to pick up the reward from when he defeated the Forest Dragon before?〉

〈Ah, I see.〉

〈The reward for defeating the boss is still there, right?〉

“Yes. Just like some of you mentioned in the comments, that’s exactly what I’m planning to do. I left it as it is since I thought someone else would claim it eventually, but it seems the reward is still there.”

〈How do you even know that?〉

〈Probably because no one reported it.〉

〈But you don’t have to report boss rewards, right? It’s not taxed.〉

〈Maybe the boss hasn’t been defeated again since then?〉

〈Can’t you just sneak in and grab the treasure?〉

“I’m not really sure either, but the management is scolding because of that. They said ‘It’s way too wasteful to leave the reward from a Class 6 dungeon.’ So I thought I might as well grab it now while I’m at it.”

〈That’s true. Lol〉

〈Who knows, Nishida might get a super rare item.〉

〈I heard that the reward from defeating a boss during a dungeon rampage is much better than normal.〉

〈Defeating the boss again just to retrieve the reward sounds tough though.〉

〈But it’s not a problem for Nishida.〉

“Sorry for wanting to do this during our collaboration livestream. It’s just… Going all the way to the 30th floor for no reason is a hassle, even for me.”

“Oh, no, no! It’s totally fine! Alright. Shall we end the collaboration livestream here? Ken-Channel is going to keep on going, right?”

“Yeah. I’m planning to go further down now.”

“Understood. Miku-Channel will end the livestream after we’re back on the surface. If anyone’s interested to watch the rest of the dungeon exploration, be sure to check out Ken-Channel!~”

〈Thanks for your hard work, Miku-chan!〉

〈Miku-chan directing her viewers to Ken-Channel is top-tier.〉

〈Bye-bye!〉

After seeing the three of them disappear using the teleportation portal, I continued my journey down to the 30th floor of Inokashira Dungeon.

◇　◇　◇

“Alright. We’ve arrived at the boss room of Inokashira Dungeon.”

〈Huh? We’re already here?〉

〈It’s only been 30 minutes at most, right?〉

〈Nishida is way too fast. LOL〉

〈Is this a RTA session? LMAO〉

“I was lucky I managed to find the teleportation traps right away twice. Well, I got lucky because the teleportation trap sent me straight to the boss room too.”

The teleportation trap I found on the 20th floor sent me to the 25th floor and the teleportation trap on the 25th floor sent me straight to the boss room in the 30th floor. Hence why, I was able to get here much faster than during the S-rank promotion exam.

“Umm… More importantly…. Where’s the boss… Oh. It’s there this time.”

A beautiful lake filled the crater at the top of the mountain. There stood two large trees by the shore without any other trees around. Those trees were the head of Inokashira Dungeon’s boss, the Two Headed Forest Dragon.

“The last time I fought it, the boss was powered up because of the dungeon rampage. So I think the fight this time won’t be as tough as last time.”

〈Was it really ‘tough’ before?〉

〈I remember the fight ended in an instant.〉

〈No, no. Didn’t the boss try to run away even?〉

〈If the boss was trying to escape with its tail between its legs, that means the fight was anything but ‘tough’.〉

“And it seems the treasure chests are still here. Well, the teleportation portal is nowhere to be seen since the boss has respawned though.”

〈Three treasure chests!〉

〈I wonder what’s inside.〉

〈Does that mean more treasure chests will appear after defeating the boss?〉

〈Seems so. Of course, the old ones wouldn’t disappear.〉

I approached the two large trees. The boss seemed to notice me since the trees began to move.

SLASH!!

I swiftly slashed both trees in one go. The trees collapsed onto the ground followed by deafening noise. The ground seemed to shake along with it.

〈Huh?〉

〈Wait, what?〉

〈What?〉

〈Huh?〉

〈No way?〉

〈Seriously?〉

〈WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?〉

〈Hold on, hold on, hold on!〉

〈Sadhu sadhu.〉

〈Tathaastu.〉

〈Amen.〉

〈The boss was defeated in an instant. LMAOOO〉

〈The boss didn’t even get to make a full appearance yet! LOLLLL〉

But, the tip of the fallen tree transformed into the dragon’s head.

〈The boss is revealing its true form now? It’s too late already.〉

〈No, wait. If you look closely, the boss is still moving.〉

〈Huh, it’s not dead yet?〉

〈As expected of a Class 6 dungeon boss. It has great vitality.〉

“This boss seems to have pretty high regenerative abilities. Well, the Two Headed Forest Dragon is not on par with the Multi-Headed Forest Dragon though.”

Upon closer inspection, roots-like tendrils began to sprout from the cut part. The boss was trying to absorb the life power from the dungeon again. I slashed the tendrils and dealt the finishing blow to put it down for good.

“Alright. I think I’ve defeated it for good now.”

〈As ruthless as ever. LOLLL〉

〈Even a deep level boss is getting finished in an instant…〉

〈As expected from a guy who managed to reach the abyss level.〉

〈Yeah. It’s clear to see Nishida hasn’t unleashed his full power yet.〉

〈We probably won’t be able to see Nishida’s full power until he reaches floor 40 AT LEAST.〉

〈I’d love to see him challenge himself to see how far he can go.〉

〈It’s going to be difficult though, since he has a restaurant to run.〉

Panpaka panpaka paan!♪

A grand fanfare rang out within the boss room, proof that I had successfully defeated the boss.

“Three new treasure chests have appeared.”

〈Six treasure chests! LOLLLLL〉
