Chapter 100 Never Abandon (Patreon)

「By the way gramps, can I ask? 」

「What is it, Miss Aidle? 」

「Why was this dungeon designed so horrendously? 」

I was sitting on the old man’s lap eating cookies when I asked. I see, if I master Fairy Magic, I would also be able to create such delicious food…I need to practice more.

「Well, though I said that I manage this dungeon, all I could actually do is adjust the weather and ecosystems within the dungeon. At most, all I could do is hinder the invaders. That’s pretty much what I’m allowed to manipulate in this dungeon. As for other things, it was all made by the creators of this dungeon. You did see their statues before coming over here right? 」

That reminds me, there were indeed statues of people resembling witches on the way here. When I asked 「Are they responsible? 」 the old man only smiled as if satisfied and then explained.

「That is indeed the case, it was because of those witches. I don’t understand myself what the purpose was, other than they built this dungeon around that core. Some time after its creation was also the time I was born. Though I only learned most of this information later on when I integrated with the core. 」

I see, so those literal harassment of a specification were the work of those witches. Too bad, none of them exists anymore. There would have been a long list of complaints that I would file.

「What about that ridiculous Holy Armor at the 51st Floor? 」

「That was also brought in by the Witches. There was only one person who has reached the 51st floor. He was the last survivor of a brigade who challenged the dungeon. However, he never found out about the mechanics of the 51st floor and he was just wandering up until the end. That happened around 2000 years ago.」

I wonder if it was because of those tricks. They definitely tried to capture it with human wave tactics. That would have been manageable in the scorpion hell zone, but it sure must have been really harsh at the desert fields as well.

Those witches probably had no intention of letting anyone capture the place from the beginning. Well, that much didn’t matter now since I was able to successfully clear it.

「By the way, on your way back, I have arranged that you would be able to easily return by flying until floor 20. I’m sure those Red Dragons would also follow you back so you ask them for help.」

「What about you, gramps? 」

「In my current condition, I won’t be able to leave. My body is also technically inside that. My current is nothing more but the materialization of 『Humanization』 and 『Fairy Magic』. And I did even try to separate myself before using 『Fairy Magic』 but failed. It seems that my body and soul have completely assimilated with the core. 」

「Would it be alright if I give it a try? 」

「Are you sure, young lady? 」

「I don’t know if it will work and it will definitely be difficult. However, I absolutely hate the idea of leaving you here alone again in a place like this. I can’t definitely leave you be especially because of being the same fairy race」

「But……」

I got off the old man’s lap and created a self-made transfer stone. After levelling a lot and the ridiculous growth of my status, it was now really easy to create something like this. I handed the stone to the old man and then activated 『Synchronization』.

『Arena』

『Yes, yes, what is it? 』

『I need a little help over here, so can you put all the magical tools over there on La Veils. After that I want to bring everyone over here via transfer. For now, can you pass some magic power through the stone? 』

『Alright. Just a minute』

「Gramps, if it was me alone then it would be definitely difficult.  Thankfully though, there’s an expert when it comes to doing something like this. Those kids will also be coming over to help as support. 」

「Hou, is that so? 」

「That is so. So could you pour some magic power on that stone for now」

「Eh, Yes. I will do so」

Though a little confused, the old man at least knew what he needed to do, so I moved on the other side and landed on the round table. For some reason though everyone was on top of the round table.

「If it’s like this, won’t it be easier to bring everyone along with the whole table? 」

「Nice Arena. Alright everyone, it will be a bit of jump so be careful with your feet when we arrive」

I returned to the place where the old man was with everyone along with the table. Because I teleported slightly above ground, the table made a loud noise as it landed.

After that, I explained to everyone the story about the old and and in response, the children all tried clinging to him crying. They definitely thought that the old man was more pitiful than their situation so they did that, but it only confused the old man who desperately tried to calm down the crying children. Arena on the other hand was clinging to me crying. Because of the difference in our height, she was basically clinging to me buried in my chest.

「Because of that, I have officially captured this dungeon, but I can’t leave gramps behind. I will need Arena’s help this time and a bit of La Veil’s help too, okay? It would be great if you could support me like what we did in Ladaria」

「Guh……of course leave it to me. I definitely want to help Gramps too」

「But master, if you are planning to help the old man, what do you plan to do with this dungeon? That fairy is basically serving as it’s core right now, right? 」

About that, indeed if this dungeon disappears then the people living in Amone would also be troubled. I must make sure that the dungeon continues to exist even without letting the core be destroyed.

「I’ll be careful with that. For now, let’s just try it out」

「Uhm, are you really sure about this? 」

The old man seems to be worried about it, it’s his main body that is involved after all. However, it will be fine gramps. After all, there has been no impossibility that could stop a fairy if serious.

And so to start, I and Arena touched the dungeon core.

「La Veil, I will be using you as pipeline to send information about the dungeon core through  『Synchronization』  and pass it over to Arena. I will also activate 『Super Synchronization』 while adjusting int values. That’s the plan」

「Umu, got it」

「Then from the information I give to Arena, try to figure out the parts linking gramps to the core and slowly peel him off. Will you be able to do it? 」

「I’ll do something about it. What about Aidle? 」

「I will be preparing something to be used as replacement of gramps……now then, let’s start the challenge」

「「Let’s go!!」」

Then first, I converted all of my stats into INT using 『Fairy Magic』making it’s total value go over trillions. Though even with this much, I don’t know if it will be enough……but, I have to do it no matter what so I will do my best.
