The Price of Immortality
We left the report to the Amru Adventurer's Guild with Reinhard and the others, and immediately returned to the Amru Dungeon.
I coolly told Reinhard that I wouldn't be staying in Amru Fortress City, so I headed back to Amru Dungeon.
Well, Mylene's tomb also needs to be built on Donut Island on the 35th level.
I'm scared that if I don't act quickly, things like Mylene's grave will become irrelevant.
"Master is truly a devil, to think you almost forgotten about Mylene-san."
Shiro read my mind and spoke to me.
"Idiot! I haven’t forgotten about Mylene yet!
Since I haven't forgotten, I must build Mylene's grave as soon as possible!"
"Is it really that easy to forget just because you became a monster?"
Shiro said something that would be true of a monster.
"You're also saddened by Mylene's death, right?"
"I'm still sad about Mylene-san's death. I still can't forgive Drake and the twins!"
Shiro replied back with some unexpected words.
"What! Are you still a monster!"
"I have been a monster longer than Master!"
"Then why do you continue to be sad!"
"Isn't it only Master's characteristic that your sadness doesn't last?"
"Eh?"
"So, only Master's sadness doesn't last!
According to my hypothesis, isn't it because Master is an immortal monster that lives in eternity?"
"I see... Since I'm immortal, does that mean my sadness has diminished?"
"That's right! If you are immortal and you dwell on the past forever and ever, your body and mind won't last!
The more you live, the more bad memories you will have!"
"I see..."
As expected, Shiro is an excellent one and says the right things.
But wait... If that's the case, what about Drake, who was immortal like me?
"If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Drake family be the same?"
"That's right. Isn't that why he had a mental breakdown?"
"I'm sure he was a psycho and had an orgasm..."
"Well, in your case, Master, you're more completely immortal than Drake, so I think it's easier for you to forget your sadness in order to protect yourself."
"I see."
When I think about it, I'm more immortal than anyone else.
I was immortal even before I became a vampire.
Even if I become a poop, I don't think I'll die.
Also, I can't think of any weaknesses.
Even Drake, who was thought to be almost immortal, could be killed by using the holy sword Excalibur.
But what about me?
Since I'm a hero, I'm also resistant to light attribute magic.
In the first place, people who can use dark and light attributes are rare.
I've never seen anyone like that either.
Actually, there was only one person.
Anastasia became a sage and was able to use light attribute magic.
Well, aside from the fact that Anastasia is excellent, it is normally said that light attribute magic and dark attribute magic are contradictory magics, so it is impossible to master them at the same time.
That's why even the holy sword Excalibur can't kill me.
Well, in that case, there's a high possibility that the Ancestor Mary is looking for is still alive somewhere.
Mary also said that once she returns to the 35th level, she would like to return to the Atlesia continent to search for the Ancestor.
That's why we're heading down the Amru dungeon.
Of course, I didn't forget to get the Rainbow Frog on the 7th level and the Fang Wolves meat on the 12th level.
We went down hunting like that, and after a long time, we arrived at our hideout, the lakeside log cabin on the 22nd level.
"Master, after all, I feel most at home in our own home!"
"Yeah, that's right. After all, this log cabin was hand-built by us.
Also, since this is my second time building it, the level of completion and attention to detail is probably better than the second hideout in Donut Island.''
"I agree……"
Shiro is relaxing on a fluffy sofa made from sheep slime in the living room.
"Hey! Why are you taking a break? I want to level up even more and surprise my sister!"
While we were relaxing, Mary said she wanted to go increase her level.
I want to heal the fatigue of my travels at my home for the first time in a while...
Well, Mary has a proper mansion on Onigashima, so maybe she doesn't feel like she's back at home.
"At your level, no matter how many mithril slimes you defeat, your level won't go up, you know?
At least you have to defeat the Volcanic Slime King..."
In order to take a real break, I lie down on the sofa and have Shiro rest my head on her lap as I answer.
"Maybe there is an even more amazing slime on this floor that surpasses the mithril slime!"
Mary is fed up with me, who has no motivation at all.
"That can't be true. We explored every nook and cranny of this floor.
After all, the 22nd level is our territory!"
"Master, but as Mary-san said, there may be amazing slimes on this floor that we haven't found yet.
Just like finding Ori Hime on the 29th level."
Shiro, who had been silently listening to me and Mary, joined in the conversation.
"Is it like a floor boss?"
"That's right"
Certainly, I haven't seen anyone who looks like a floor boss on this 22nd level.
On the 7th level, there is a rainbow frog boss.
On the 12th level, there is also a Fang Wolf boss.
Shiro was probably the floor boss on the 18th level.
I felt like there was only one strong Lich on the 21st level, and when I think about it that way, I haven't seen a floor boss-like slime on the 22nd level yet.
"There are surprisingly many mithril slimes that are thought to be the strongest on this floor...
Well, if it's a slime type, there's a good chance that it's hiding so we can't find it...''
"That’s right! It’s definitely hidden!
Even if it's not as strong as Ori Hime, there should still be a strong slime on this floor!"
Somehow, my words seem to have ignited Mary's passion.
An overflowing amount of red-black aura was leaking from Mary's body.
Or rather, if she were to emit such a dangerous aura, we wouldn't be able to find anything...
However, I'm interested in rare slimes that I haven't seen yet.
I might be able to earn experience points, or it might be a good material for weapons and armor.
"I understand! I’ll go out with you!
Or rather, suppress that aura quickly!
Do you think you'll be able to find the slime that was hidden away from us until now when you're emitting such a dangerous Aura?"
"I know! I'll suppress my aura, so let's hurry and find some dangerous slime!"
And so, the search for the dangerous slime that seems to be on the 22nd level begins.
