Level 99 Villainous Daughter

chapter-19
「Yumiela, would you like to come over to my territory on this summer vacation? 」
Patrick was inviting me to visit his hometown in Ashbaton territory, but unfortunately, I already made some plans for the vacation .
「Sorry, Patrick . There’s a place that I want to visit this year . 」
Last year’s summer vacation was spent with going back and forth between my room and the library, but since I secured Ryuu for transportation, I can go further .
Ah, Patrick just wants to go home riding Ryuu, right? I can understand why he invited me .「The one I want to meet isn’t Ryuu, isn’t it only natural to ask your friend to visit your house? 」
He seems to know where my train of thought is going . Now that I think about it, he doesn’t seem to enjoy flying .
「You are afraid of heights . 」
Patrick unexpectedly had a weakness with heights . He keeps telling me that everyone is afraid of heights, but Phil-kun quickly got used to air travel and enjoying himself .
On that note, recently, Phil-kun and Ryuu seem to play together .
「No, in that perspective… Well, where are you going to go? Are you going to subjugate another dragon? 」
「I’m thinking of going to Barias . 」「Barias? Oh, are you going to the dungeon? 」
As he says, Barias is a town with a dungeon . No, it’s more like a dungeon that surrounded by the town around it?
Compared to the others, the treasure chest quality is better in this dungeon . There’s a history that people gathered for that purpose, and as the time pass, it became a town .
「Yes, there’s a sword that I wanted to get . 」
I’ve been learning swordsmanship for a year at the academy . I’m not only using high-level brute force approach anymore, but recently I’ve learned about the technical things too, so I wanted to get my own sword .
「If you don’t get anything from the dungeon; you won’t cause any trouble, are you? 」
I’m not really fixated with a sword, but it’s something I want to have a substitute .
「The swords that available in the market right now will break if I really swing it . 」
「…That’s tough . 」
As usual, Patrick was taken aback .
「I bought a sword from beginner dungeon, and it broke . I’m afraid that it will keep happening so I thought it would be quicker if I get it on my own . 」
Various weapons could be obtained from the treasure chest in the dungeon, and sometimes you could get high-performance weapon made from unknown metal or additional buff .
「And Barias? I think their quality is the best . Take care . I’ll see you later . 」
They used dark dungeon in Dolknes to level up in the game, and Barias dungeon was used to collect equipment . Since the equipment performance is randomized, you must keep diving until you get the desired attributes buff .
My summer vacation dungeon diving begins .
I was riding Ryuu to Barias on the first day of vacation . Since Ryuu is dropping me off in the town will cause an uproar, he drops me a little out of town, so I’ll need to walk my way into town .
The town is crowded with mercenary groups for the dungeon, soldiers, and merchants at every corner .
After I finished securing an inn for my stay, I head for the dungeon right away . There are many people grouped to enter the dungeon, and the population density is very high .
「Excuse me, I want to enter the dungeon . 」
Onee-san who managed the reception desk at the dungeon entrance frowns .
「You must have a license to enter . It’s a busy hour, and I’m rather preoccupied, you could come back again with the license . 」
I forgot that to enter the dungeon I need a licence . I submit the license that I had prepared .
「I’m sorry, I forgot! Here is my license . 」
「His Majesty’s sign?! Etto, Yumiela Dolknes… The one with level 99? 」
She appears to have recognised me . I don’t actually know how well-known I am .
Once she approved my license, I immediately went into the dungeon .
In Barias’ dungeon monsters will all kinds of attributes appeared except for light attributes . I was told that was the reason why it’s unsuitable for level up in the game, but it doesn’t matter since I maxed my level already .
I’m only looking for a treasure chest that appears from a level 50 boss . In the game, the treasure chest came with a fixed or even greater equipment performance, so I’m aiming for it .
There were people here and there in the lower level, but beyond the level 20 area you won’t see them as often .
I found several untouched treasure chests, all of which were low-quality equipment . Well, this thing happens except between the boss . Since there’s nothing convenient like an item box in the game, I didn’t even bother to take it unless it’s good stuff .
1st round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come . It’s unexpected that a human reached the deepest part of my dungeon… 」
The boss of this dungeon is a demon with a goat’s head . It was my first time encountered a demon who can speak the human language since the dark attribute dungeon’s boss, Dullahan, didn’t speak .
「Please give me a good weapon, Black Hole . 」
When I cast my attack, the monsters disappeared, leaving a big magic stone . From the treasure chest that appeared, I got a moderate quality sword with a fire attribute . It’s like the previous sword that I broke before, so I’ll leave it here .
When the boss is defeated, you get transferred to the dungeon entrance . I don’t understand the logic . In the first place, there are too many mysteries like monsters that keep spawning and the replenished treasure chests .
There’s an uproar when I cleared the dungeon, but I don’t care and started the second round regardless . Magic stones and weapons are sold for a good price .
2nd round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come . It’s unexpected that a human reached the deepest part of my dungeon… 」
The demon with a goat’s head told me the same thing . Apparently, the spawned monster doesn’t inherit the previous memory .
「Please give me a good weapon, Black Hole . 」
A full body armour made of metal came out of the treasure chest . I don’t need it .
3rd round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come . It’s unexpected that a human reached the deepest part of my dungeon… 」
I gradually learned to memorize the route to level 50 . It shortened the time I need to come here .
「Please give me a good weapon, Black Hole . 」
It’s a wind-attribute spear, a loss . That’s enough for today, let’s go back to the inn .
10th round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come . It’s unexpected that a human reached the deepest part of my dungeon… 」
I couldn’t get the weapon I was aiming for, so I thought that maybe I could change the way the boss is defeated .
「Please give me a good weapon, Shadow Lance . 」
A water-attribute staff . It looks like it doesn’t matter how you defeat the boss .
11th round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come . It’s unexpected that a human reached the deepest part of my dungeon… 」
Maybe it’s not good to be greedy asking for a good weapon . It’s important to be unselfish .
「I don’t need a good weapon, Black Hole . 」
An earth-attribute hammer, yeah, I know .
There’s a magic stone that the boss dropped that has a very high price because of its rarity . But my overflow into the market caused a gradual price decline . And the price will continue to decline .
20th round .
「Fufufu, you’ve come… Eh? Have I ever met you before? No, a human can’t reach this level . 」
The goat-headed demon began to remember of what happened slowly . Please die so I can get my sword .
「Okay, this is it! 」
The one that came out of the treasure chest was a light-attribute sword . It has a different appearance from the usual ones . It might be something that could withstand my strength .
It might be useful to have a dual sword style in light and dark magic . I grab the sword in joy .
「Ouch . 」
The moment I touched the sword, a stinging pain runs on my fingertips . The same thing happened when I touched it again .
It seems that this sword has a stronger anti-dark attribute rather than a light attribute . It appeared to be reacting to my dark magic attribute . It would be harmless to human because typically only monsters who has a dark attribute .
I’m kind of sad about being treated as a demon king by a sword .
After saying I was only dungeon diving for the duration of the summer vacation, the boss’ magic stone was becoming the subject of speculation . When there are too many supplies in the market, the price will decline, but when I sold it at the time where the supply is low, the price will rise .
Now the magic stone’s price began to rise .
50th round .
「Hey, stop it already! Eh? What the hell am I… I don’t know you, but… 」
The goat-headed demon hadn’t succeeded to recollect their memories . But it’s frightening watching their instinct remembering parts of it .
I began to feel something akin to pity for the demon, but my summer vacation is almost over, so I’ll make the last one count .
「Thank you for your help, Black Hole . 」
I haven’t got anything useful that could bear my power since the light-attribute sword . My usual behaviour isn’t bad, but why am I so unlucky?
I thought I would get something useless again, but when I opened the treasure chest, I can feel the familiar magic spilled out of it .
「Is this dark magic? 」
What inside the treasure chest was a sword with dark attributes .
The sword is shorter than the typical two-handed sword and longer than the one-handed sword . It’s a bastard sword that you can use with one hand or both hands . The sword blade doesn’t reflect any light gives a sense of dark magic .
The previous sword gave a sacred vibe . Meanwhile, I can feel the ominous and oppressive feeling from the sword in front of me . It’s not a piece of cursed equipment, is it?
Compared to light attribute weapons, dark attribute weapons are rare . This item didn’t appear in the game, so I was surprised when I found out it existed .
Was all the bad luck that happens until now preparing me for this? Well, I don’t know the truth, but one thing that I’m certain is I have an inseparable relationship with dark attribute .
「Patrick, here’s a souvenir from Barias . 」
「Is this a magic stone? It’s really huge . 」
Since nobles and investor purchased the boss’s magic stones, the price was higher than when I first sold it . It seems that having the stone has become a status .
「It was the last dungeon boss’s magic stone that I brought as a commemoration . 」
「Isn’t that become a hot topic right now? How could I receive something like this— 」
Patrick stubbornly refused to accept it, in exchange for the bulky magic stone I gave him a dungeon dagger that I brought back .
Patrick was telling me to sell the magic stone for money or keep it in case something happens . He also said that money is important .
But I already have the money from selling the other 49 magic stones…
