Chapter 32 : Easy Victory
🕑 Added 2022-05-04 14:43:57 +0000 UTCTL:SummerPeanut
====================================
Inside the labyrinth, business was as usual.
The strange feeling was gone, and Clarice and I were burying the goblins.
Count Beetle and the Knights were surprised by Clarice's movements.
The six-year-old girl who until the other day had only been blessed with Holy magic was now going more than head-to-head with a goblin general.
And thanks to her equipment, she could recover from some damage quickly.
It was not that the members of the Knights couldn’t defeat goblin generals.
They couldn’t fight for a long period of time because they lack the means to recover from the damage they received.
When we reached the safe zone, we took a short rest.
While we were resting, Blair suddenly asked Clarice.
“Lady Clarice, were you this strong from beginning? I am surprised that you seemed to be stronger than even myself...”
“No, I've only gotten this strong in the last month since I met Mars, and I think I was just barely able to defeat goblins and goblin mages a month ago.”
“Would you be able to tell me how you became strong so swiftly?”
“I was just fighting as Mars told me to. However, I do feel that I am growing stronger beyond belief.”
Then the Count said
“Nevertheless, I am very happy to see such a talented girl born in my city of Grantham. It would be even better if you, Mars, would also stay in Grantham.”
“I apologize. I would like nothing more of the same but due to my circumstances…
It’s about time for myself to depart, is that alright?”
I said as if I was running away.
“I am sorry about that, then I must ask you to conquer the labyrinth for the sake of Grantham, the territory of Beetle’s, and our own Zarkham Kingdom.”
The Count emphasized the word Zarkham Kingdom. Perhaps he might have vaguely noticed my true identity.
“I understand. I will certainly meet Count Beetle's expectations.”
I gave a slight bow to Count Beetle and left the safe zone with Clarice.
On the way here, I believe the reason for the discomfort might have been Count Beetle and the people of the Knights.
Perhaps they were trying to find out where I came from?
With these thoughts in mind, we defeated all the goblin generals in the spring room.
Then I came to the door of the boss room.
“Clarice, I told you before and I'll tell you again.
In the boss room, there is a monster called the goblin king. The goblin king summons the goblin lord, and the goblin lord summons the goblin general.
I need Clarice to support me. But please think about your own safety first.
Also, please conserve MP as much as possible. So, please do your best not to use the magic bow (magic arrow).”
“I understand, I'll try to stay as close as possible to Mars and avoid being surrounded by goblins.”
We nodded to each other and then open the door.
I entered the room with Clarice while being as quiet and as careful as we could.
The first point of difference between this room from the boss room in the Irgusia labyrinth is that it is more than twice the size.
It is definitely more than twice the size but it feels smaller than the boss room in the Irgusia labyrinth.
The reason is the number of goblins.
There are two goblin kings, four goblin lords, and over 50 goblin generals.
The number of goblin kings was within expectations but the number of goblin generals was more than expected.
In the Irgusia Labyrinth, there is only one goblin king, two goblin lords, and 20 goblin generals. Compared to that just the number of goblin generals here, to be honest, there must be near 100…
“The number of Clarice's opponents is higher than expected but there’s no change to the strategy. Let’s defeat them here.”
“Understood, leave the recovery to me.”
I thought it would be inefficient to defeat nearly 100 goblin generals with Wind Cutter, so I used Tornado, a wide-area magic, to engulf them and I planted Wind Cutter inside the Tornado, unlike the last time.
A large whirlwind (Tornado) swallowed the goblin generals.
Goblin lord and goblin king were out of the range.
The goblin generals inside the Tornado filled with Wind Cutter instantly died.
It was great that I could wipe out around 100 goblin generals with Tornado.
Tornado with Wind Cutter consumed 50 MP.
It was quite efficient since it only costs only 0.5 MP per kill but I feel it might be a little bit excessive.
“W-what is that amazing magic...”
“It's called Tornado, and it's the second most powerful magic I can use right now. The lethality itself is lower than Wind Cutter though. It's a wide-area magic so it's very useful in times like these. I can't use my strongest magic in the labyrinth because we would probably be harmed too.”
When we entered this room, I thought it might become quite the dangerous situation but the power of the tornado was stronger than I expected so in the end, it didn't make any difference how many of them there were.
I was rather glad it was a good experience harvest.
By the time I had shot about 60 Tornado shots, the goblin kings and goblin lords had stopped summoning.
And I defeated the Goblin king surprisingly easily.
My level increased too.

Special Ability: Holy Magic(Lv3/B)
I wouldn’t know because I had never seen a B-class adventurer’s status but I thought my status was probably B-class.
Then two treasure chests appeared.
With two values of 4.
I decided to have someone other than me open one of them once in a while so I asked Clarice to open one.
I opened one treasure chest first.
Name: Saintess’s Vestment (Saint's Robe)
Defense: 14
Special: Magic +3, Endurance +2
Value: A
Details: Reduces the MP consumption and increases the effectiveness of Holy and Barrier magic. Disables any abnormalities. Automatic repair.
Eh? Barrier magic? This equipment is born for Clarice!
After explaining the effects, Clarice immediately put it on.
Unlike Japanese vestments and although it’s ornamented, it’s not flashy.*1
On the inside of the vestments, there was a magic circle. Perhaps the function for automatic repair came from here?
The base color was white which suits the silver-haired Clarice well.
“S-so cute…”
Clarice's face turned red when I unintentionally uttered the words above.
“Tha-thank you. I will really cherish this…”
Hearing such words from her, my face went bright red too.
“Then I’ll open it for you this time.”
After saying so, Clarice opened the other treasure chest.
Name: Disguise Bracelet.
Special: -
Value: -
Details: The wearer's status can be falsified. However, the value cannot be higher than one's own status. It cannot be detected by normal appraisal.
This is a bracelet with a black magic stone embedded in it.
This is the equipment I wanted.
I immediately equipped it and changed the status. Now I won't be isolated when I have to go to school.
I had been thinking about these kinds of carefree thought until that moment.
====================================
Author’s note:
The next chapter will be posted at 8 o'clock.
Today I will post up to the last chapter of volume 2, chapter 36.
If you read up to 36 episodes, I would be grateful if you could leave a review.
Thank you.
TLN:
So the author purposely made all treasure chests opened by Mars to have non-Mars items because he wants this scene of exchanging treasure…?
TL’s note:
- I’m not sure if it’s correct or not but here

It gets 'slightly' different later on regarding hiding power trope. This series is basically just isekai junk food or a filler lol. Feel free to DM me if there's any interesting jp webnovel that nobody has started. Haven't found anything really of my interest so I'm just continuing this in the meantime.

It's kind of silly. MC seems to be thinking more w his lower head than the one on his shoulders, even tho he's like 6. Yes, he mentions going back to his family, but no mention of him thinking about how his family feels w his sudden disappearance. Also, here comes the typical JP tropes of hiding your power, was wondering if this one would b different. Finally, even tho MC is apparently super strong, it doesn't really feel like it honestly, but ig that's just because he's only been playing w goblins. Keep up the hard work TL.
