[99] Two Days of Mining!
Watching the armless Udaeus, Tsubaki understood that it was now a fish on the chopping board.
Sure enough, without much effort, Ais, surrounded by wind magic, and wielding the Mithril Sword she crafted, pierced through Udaeus's chest.
At that moment, the enormous magic stone crumbled into powder, indicating Udaeus's defeat.
Boom~!
A tremendously large black skeleton fell.
Udaeus's bones were an extremely rare drop, though not comparable to Udaeus's skeletal sword, they were still top-tier loot, considering they were the floor boss's drops.
August walked over and picked up the black skeleton.
"Tsubaki, can this be used as material to forge a first tier weapon?"
"It can, but just this bone section is not enough. You need to add some other things. And, what do you think first tier weapons are? Cabbages?"
Tsubaki rolled her eyes, but she didn't know that August said this because of her.
Previously, her generous display of ten indestructible swords and sixty or seventy second tier armaments had caused quite an impact on August.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. Anyway, you're the blacksmith."
"Huh!"
She was too lazy to complain. Ever since she met August, her workload had increased.
Her past self would only forge first tier armaments depending on mood and opportunity, as good materials were too rare.
But after meeting August, it felt like she had activated a cheat code. Rare metals came in a continuous stream, first adamantite, now mithril. It hadn't been long since she and August met.
"Okay, let's continue working. By the way, Ais, you have a task."
Saying that, August handed the water candle to Ais.
"Hmm?"
"Ignite the water candle. When Udaeus appears, notify me."
"Okay."
Ais nodded. She was familiar with the water candle.
In the previous month, August used this candle to trigger a monster feast every day. Now, even seeing a monster feast didn't faze her.
Thus, Ais ignited the water candle and silently watched her surroundings.
August was surprised at first, then he smiled.
Finally, it's here, Udaeus. I've been waiting for a full two days.
August ran out of the mine tunnel, witnessing a familiar skeletal giant crawling out.
However, unlike two days ago, this time Udaeus did not use the skeletal sword, only maintaining a skeletal posture.
"August."
Ais ran over, exchanged the extinguished water candle with August, and looked at him with a slightly worried expression.
After all, even she who defeated Udaeus had to use indirect help from him, other than her own strength.
And August, since becoming an adventurer until now, was just a little over two months. Facing the mighty Udaeus, did he really stand a chance?
"Leave it to me."
August took out two bottles of mana potions and drank them.
Just after finishing mining, a considerable amount of magical power had been consumed. Although there was still more than half left, it was better to replenish it for safety.
He walked over, and Udaeus's colossal body began to move.
August's arrival immediately stimulated Udaeus, pushing it into a state of frenzy.
Boom~!
A huge skeletal palm slapped down.
August calmly walked forward, and shadows twisted under his feet, forming an immensely large shadow claw. As Udaeus's attack approached, it directly blocked the blow.
"If it were before, I might have been interested in a fight with you. But after two days of mining, I just want to go back and sleep well with my wife. So, sorry."
Then, August stepped close to Udaeus.
All of Udaeus's attacks were blocked by August's shadow claws.
Next, August's hand touched Udaeus's body.
Swoosh~
The next moment, Udaeus's colossal figure vanished instantly.
In that moment, Tsubaki and Ais, who were watching from behind, were all stunned. Where did such a large Udaeus go?
Meanwhile, August had a relaxed and confident expression. Those who had cheat codes were just this confident.
