Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

We were taking a break and eating lunch in a safe space where monsters rarely appered.

As we ate and rested, Queen Fraal asked about the our plans for this dungeon exploration.

「So, how far do you want to go?」

「I wonder. We were considering whether to have a day trip or stay overnight, but…… even at our pace, we would only have 4-5 hours if we stick to a day trip.」

We’ve been sprinting down the floors, but we were still only in the middle floors. At our pace, they wouldn’t be satisfied with the level up and training at the lower floors.

「Etoile and our babies have Mother and the maids there, I believe there is nothing to fret over for a night.」

「Yeah. Haruka has also become attached to Madam Elizabeth, Lady Charlotte, and the others.」

「That’s right. Flora[1. Typo – Raw said Fraal] no longer cries at night too.」

My worries for our children was found out by Sophia, Maria, and Marnie.

「「「Yes.」」」

Mothers sure are strong. In the end, we’re staying here for the night. But I wonder if it was alright for Queen Fraal to be gone for the entire day.

「But are you alright with this, Queen Fraal?」

「I’m grateful for your concern. However, this is fine.」

I asked Queen Fraal just in case, but Ryuka-san said there was absolutely no problem with it.

「Umm, but isn’t she the Queen?」

「Yes. The ruler of a country in the Demon Continent is as such.」

When I heard Ryuka-san’s answer, I remembered the kings of the Demon Continent.

「Ahh, Queen Fraal was still better.」

「Yes. The other rulers simply do whatever they please.」

Oh yeah. Especially the Beast Kings, they were downirhgt musclebrains.

As a result of our chat, Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san also welcomed the materials from the lower floors, so we continued to move through the midfloors quickly.

And so we arrived at the boss room of the 30th Floor.

In front of the large doors, we listened to the information about this room from Ryuka-san.

「The boss is a Kobold Lord.」

「A Kobold Lord, huh…… it’s so big. So much that it shouldn’t even be called a Kobold anymore.」

I tried peeking into the small gap in the doors, and the innermost part of the room stood a menacing Kobold Lord over three meters tall.

「Yes. In addition to that, when we enter the room, it summons its minions, the Kobold Soldiers, Archers, Mages, Knights and Generals.」

「How many will be summoned?」

The size of normal kobolds was a bit smaller than a human. The soldiers, archers, and mages are around the size of a human. Knights grow to be two meters tall, generals to two and a half meters tall, and the lord becomes three meters tall. It was a vast room, but if it is able to summon multiple knights and generals, it would be extremely intimidating.

「Numbers vary for each type, however, the total count is around fifty.」

「Fifty…… I’d hate to spend so much time on the 30th floor. Shall we annihilate them?」

「Yes. Much like the orc colony from before, wouldn’t an onslaught of magic attacks as soon as we open the door then charging in suffice?」

「Then I will back up Queen Fraal.」

「Okay, let’s start.」

Queen Fraal proposed we go with the same method we used to destroy the orc colony, and Ryuka-san said she would guard Queen Fraal as this would likely turn into a melee.

Sophia and Maria took out their weapons and prepared their magic, and Berkut also steadied her Gunlance Rod to charge her attack spell. On the other hand, Marnie, Kaede, and Titan were positioning themselves to be ready to go at any time.

「Ready when you are!」

「Then let’s begin!」

When Queen Fraal started condensed magic power in both her hands and said she was ready to go at any time, I opened the doors.

Once the doors were fully open and we invaded the room, the menacing Kobold Lord in the depths of the room howled.

『Guooooooooooo!!』

A gigantic magic formation appeared at the center of the room. From there, Kobold Soldiers equipped with leather armor and one-handed swords and axes, Kobold Archers holding short bows, Kobold Mages wearing magician-like robes and wooden staves, Kobold Knights in their metal armor with swords and shields in hand, and lastly, full-body armored Kobold Generals wielding large halberds were summoned.

It was then that our focused magic attacks launched.

Dogaaaaaaan!!

Many of the kobolds screamed in agonizing death, but a magic barrier was raised just in time by the mages, so the knights and soldiers surrounding them weren’t killed. Besides those, the knights and generals who weren’t in the barrierーdespite being injuredー seemed like they could still fight.

Using magic that was too powerful inside a dungeon could cause the sturdy dungeon walls to collapse, so this was a disadvantage of deliberately suppressing our firepower.

Before the effects of our magic attacks subsided, Marnie, Kaede, and Titan charged at the pack of Kobolds.

After we finished casting our spells, we, too, jumped into battle immediately.
