Chapter 83 - There Are Some Things That Might Be Forgivable Alone, But Never, Ever as a Set.

**Day 32? The Farthest Labyrinth 67F**

Yeah, next is 66F. Already gave up on pure-hearted emotion. No such thing as a pure-hearted monster? Normally you come from above, so it should be 34F—one-third! The remaining two-thirds are definitely impure emotions.

Tired… What time is it? Day or night? When should I even rest?

Endless monster-pack grinding to reach the surface is exhausting, but Armor Committee Chair's "training" was way harsher. One-sided beatdown left me wiped in one go. Still, 60s floors have strong monsters. If I slack, the worrywarts will come down. Idiots joined too—might be fine? No, idiots make it worse. Otakus are here too… but they're otakus… Definitely not safe!

66F is demons, obviously? 66. Yet no monster girls on 77F! 77! If there'd been any, I'd probably still be camped on 77F. Long-term renovation vibes. That's the real impure emotion! But there wasn't.

And "Demon Blade Lv66." Demons. Only met one before—the 80F Demon Swordmaster. Terrifying enemy. Worst demon ever. Attacked my weakest point—my fragile favorability! Lately kinda given up on it though… favorability.

These guys will probably target it too. Cool name. Demon Blade—small humanoid, 1.2–1.3 meters, flying. Pit traps useless. Around 70…? No, 66? Demonこだわり? 66 demons.

"Magic Resistance" + "Mana Absorption"—magic useless. Demons probably shrug off heat/cold? Probably?

Prep done. Up to 66F.

"""GWOOOAAAH!!""""

Yelling something, 66 Demon Blades charge from front—swords, spears raised, flying swarm.

Net them.

Escapees get mowed down by Armor Committee Chair.

Packing magic upgraded to high-tier "Grasp"—can grab things now. Grasp net, pin to ground, then drop pre-grasped minotaur swords/spears from above. Yes! Practice → Sword Rain possible!

"Grasp" only Lv3—power/speed/control still rough. Can't hit without grabbing first. But mass free-moving weapons solve manpower issues. Lightens Armor Committee Chair's load. Gotta practice. Honestly—stealing funnel idea! Funnels, Sword Rain—wanna try! Been stuck on "stick whacking" forever!

Making nets downstairs was harder than fighting. Wooden vines—thick, stiff, poor bend. Spikes stabbed hands. Painful. Armor Committee Chair was way better. Dexterous-poor status revoked. Buy nets later.

Demon Blades dropped weapons too. Kind demons. Higher favorability than me? Minotaurs, War Puppets, now this—weapon stockpile. Sword Rain with clubs would be sad. Thanks, demons.

Next is 65F… but one? No—herd?

Peek: "Murder Tarantula Lv65." Normal spider swarm? Boss not every 5 floors? Otaku report only 1F–46F—no floor masters mentioned. Probably no masters 1F–46F, maybe to 50F. 50F onward every 10, 75F onward every 5? 75F+ masters were Lv100 fixed. If none on 55F, confirmed. Otaku report useless? 46F max—getting there was hard! Falling, falling—should've reported lower floors! Barely saw 1F midway. Club rain for them.

Fumigating 65F nonstop. Routine now. Lumber stock worrying. Mushrooms endless?

"Next 64F? Climbed quite a bit? Kinda? No real feel though?"

Grumbling while finishing blows, collecting stones. Lately her jito eyes lack intensity. Resigned stare. Jito-eyed Armor Committee Chair slacking on jito duty? No—she finishes and collects stones. But the vital jito is missing? Jito?

64F: "Blade Armadillo Lv64." Armadillos. Famous for armored bodies—super tough. These have blades too. Roll into ball and charge = shredded. Long sharp front claws—digging, but don't wanna get clawed. Original-world tiny armadillos deflected bullets. Physical useless.

Think platypus/mole relatives? Never heard platypus weaknesses. Don't meet platypuses in normal life?

Oh—"Magic Reflection" + "Physical Reflection," martial "Roll." Combat impossible? Single one—exploit weakness maybe. But 50–60 rolling? Dungeon unbeatable if fought seriously.

Insects/earthworms main diet—tried paralysis/poison mushrooms on chance… eating them? Omnivore? Different from original armadillos? Whatever—eats = problem solved. Rest, then collect stones.

Set tent on 66F, ask Armor Committee Chair to guard, nap.

Still writhing presences above—ignore = loss. Favorability too? Worrying = loss? Already lost before worrying?

Slept maybe 3 hours? Head clearer. Still sluggish, but no luxury complaints. Armor Committee Chair guarded sleepless. Skeleton—no sleep anyway.

Monsters not respawning. She quit, probably? No successor—solo dungeon emperor. Dungeon short-staffed? Bottom floor massacred anyway—no one left.

Collect stones on 64F, head to hidden room. No traps, no lock, no guardian monster… lonely chest. Shabby treatment! No affection item from this.

"Prometheus Chains – Binding, Nullifies All Abilities"… Chains. Alone—maybe okay? Yeah, binding useful.

But item-bag-sealed "Collar of Submission – Forces Absolute Obedience" combo? Instant criminal! This set = definite crime! Possessing = guilty! And the criminal already employed 5 JKs, plus self-proclaimed 17-year-old girl… no defense! Lawyer would flee at supersonic speed! Favorability already fled and never coming back!!

Thought it was Zhuge Liang's trap—turns out favorability got trapped.

Still good item—seal in bag. Don't take out Collar = maybe barely legal? But Prometheus was bound, never used chains himself? Then Andromeda better? Beautiful girl? High-school-boy appeal totally different.
