Level 99 Villainous Daughter
Level 99 Villainous Daughter - Volume 1 Chapter 19: DUNGEON DIVING

「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…
