(TL:By Rafael)

I arrived home a little after 8pm. For some reason, I feel even hungrier than usual when I level up. I went to the tea room to get something to eat, but the whole family was chewing on the TV.

'Yes, we've just arrived at the 32nd floor, in front of the boss floor. The temperature right now is--

　

　When I asked what the program was about, I was told that it was a program that the people of Japan were watching because if they could conquer this floor, they would break the Japanese dungeon conquest record.

　

　The 32nd floor is being conquered, which means the current Japanese dungeon record is the 31st floor.

　

　From the 31st floor is the ice and snow zone. Normally, metal armor would be useless due to the low temperature, which would cause the skin to stick to it, but the cold-resistant equipment and the Priest's cold-resistant buffs have allowed many of the vanguards to wear metal heavy equipment, the reporter explained while exhaling white breath.

"Hey, it's the Clan of Colors!　　Kotaro-sama is in the picture!"

　

　Apparently, my sister's favorite clan. The clan's trademark is a five-colored flag with vertical stripes of white, red, blue, yellow, and green, and it's one of the best dungeon-fighting clans in Japan, my sister said quickly, her eyes shining.

　

　A strategy clan is a clan whose main purpose is to attack the front lines of dungeons. Since it is necessary to have a large number of talented people in various fields, it inevitably becomes a large-scale clan with more than a hundred members. They also have strong ties with large corporations and bureaucrats, and seem to have many sponsors. There are about 10 famous strategy clans in Japan, and they are all competing against each other.

There are about 10 famous clans in Japan, and they are all competing with each other. In the meantime, let's review the composition and background of the Colors.

　

　A reporter in a thick coat points to a whiteboard with information on it and explains.

　

　The clan leader, Tazato Kotaro, is a very handsome man who often appears in fashion magazines and TV programs. He has recently been knighted as a baronet. He seems to have a huge following among young women.

　

　His main weapon is a long, 150cm long sword called the "Daitou". The blade of the sword glows reddish-black, as if it has been given fire magic.

　

　The colors are a clan of five people, and the founder and leader, Tazato, is a graduate of the 29th Adventurer's School. I thought that ...... good students would go to an adventurer's college, but instead they became adventurers right after graduation and started their own clan. The clan has continued to expand at a breakneck pace, and now has 128 members. I heard that it is the most powerful clan in the world today.

　

　This time, too, the composition was carefully selected, and 70 people are doing the dungeon dive. On top of that, I heard that Colors has five subordinate organizations, each with their own color as the clan's flag color, competing for promotion to Colors. Including them, the clan has more than a thousand members, which is amazing.

　

　By the way, there are so many dungeon-related programs in the media here in this world. Every day, some TV station is running a special feature on dungeons, and famous adventurers are appearing in various programs regardless of genre.

　

　If you go to a bookstore, you will find a number of adventurer and clan magazines, with the dungeon section taking up a large portion of the space. Clan specials and rating rankings are popular categories, and the colors on TV right now are often on the cover.

"I want Sanada-san as my mom."

　

　Sanada Yukikage is the deputy leader of the Colors. He is an intelligent character who can manage dozens of HP recovery and state recovery at the same time, and he always wears a blue robe. He's an intelligent character who can manage dozens of people at the same time. I've heard that he once dealt with Sanada and his group at the adventurer's guild where he worked part-time.

"Sanada-san is pretty cool too. But a man has to be wild. ......"

"Oh, I think coolness is the best for a mom.

　

　It's like a discussion about idols. If you're so strong and good-looking, you'll have a lot of fans. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm not jealous of ......!

"I'm not jealous!

　

　Kunoichi Red. It is a clan full of sex appeal that consists only of female [thieves]. The clan's uniform is a red, revealing ninja suit. The leader of the clan, Haruka Mikami, is a pretty good-looking girl. In fact, she is rumored to be the daughter of some aristocrat or a legendary "ninja," and she seems to be a woman of many mysteries.

　

　[Ninja] is a superlative job that can be taken by raising the job level of [Assassin] and [Shadow Walker], which are senior positions, to the maximum and clearing a certain trial. Well, if you love Kunoichi Red, you won't be a [Ninja]. Uhufu..

Compared to Colors, it's garbage, complete garbage."

" Mom doesn't approve of such a trashy clan."

　

　It seems that the women in our house don't like the idea of the No. 1 Red. I'm sure you'll agree.

(TL:type no. 1 red in comments)

The floor boss is Rich, one of the strongest undead. Last time we failed to defeat him and four people were killed, but will it work this time? The whole of Japan, no, the whole world is watching. ......

　

　Rich. It's a nasty monster that uses several types of attribute magic and summons undead minions like an orc lord. The best way to defeat it is to use a high-powered physical attack to push it over the top, since it has high magic resistance and high HP regeneration.

　

　The hall where Rich is located is about 100 meters square with a ceiling height of more than 50 meters, enough room for a 70-member strike force.

　

　The cameraman seems to have been hired by the TV station, and I can see that there are several guards guarding him at all times.

　

　The composition of the Color and reds is still mainly made up of physical attackers, the [Warrior] and [Archer]. Perhaps it's because magic doesn't work well against them, but the number of [Wizards] is low. They are fully equipped with three types of resistance rings: fireproof, cold-resistant, and lightning-resistant, and they have taken all possible measures to protect themselves against the rich.

　

　A number of Priests cast "Antimagic I", which raises magic resistance, and "Strength I", which raises STR, on the attackers who are planning to assault, and the entire Colors begin to move in a flurry.

　

　It's common sense to apply buffs right before a battle because they have a duration. It's about time.

It's about time. The [Archer] will launch the assault first. Here we go.

Archer team, let's go!

　

　It seems that Archer is the first to attack. As soon as they enter the room where Rich is, more than a dozen of them shoot three bows and arrows with increased penetrating power at the same time, firing them all at once. The impact sound of the bow and arrow firing echoed around Rich.

　

　A few seconds later, 20 warriors with large swords rush over in an assault formation and unleash a series of high-speed, continuous slashes called "Delayed Slashes. Rich tried to protect himself with his huge staff, but he was helplessly eaten by the great sword skills that were being unleashed from all directions.

　

　It's safe to say that he has a pretty good opening. If the first attack had been a melee attack, Rich would have reacted by the time I ran up to him, and I might not have been able to inflict this much damage.

　

　Sanada, the deputy leader of the team, used his appraisal item to give a detailed report on Rich's current situation. It seemed that Rich's HP had been reduced by about 30%.

　

　At this point, Rich chanted an inaudible chanting magic, "Shawa shawa. It's not that I don't like it. It was probably to summon the Chaos Soldiers, his undead subordinates.

　

　Four black mists appear at the same time, and the shadow of a skeleton covered in heavy equipment is born and falls. Immediately, while the [Archer] is in a defenseless state, he launches his bow and arrow and scores damage with his first attack.

　

　The Chaos Soldier has a magic-resistant tower shield, making it as difficult for magic to work as the Lich. They also use the Sonic Slash, a flying slash with a range of about 20 meters, so to keep them away from the rearguard group, several [Warriors] surround each of the four Chaos Soldiers, and one [Priest] is attached to support them.

　

　From here on, it's an endurance battle.

　

　Since skills with a cool time cannot be used in succession, after the opening series of skills, normal attacks are the mainstay. The vanguard of the Colors will switch members and attack in a flowing manner to keep Rich from focusing on them.

　

　As if Rich wanted to make a fresh start, he unleashed his lightning magic around the area and moved to open up a distance from the hovering Colors. However, the colors don't let that happen, and put forward the [Warrior] with the kite shield, and repeatedly close the distance.

　

　The biggest attacker here is Tazato, a 【Samurai】 who has many skills with little cool time.

　

　The "Delayed Slash" and "Triple Shot" are big moves with high firepower but with a cool time of several to ten minutes. On the other hand, the [Samurai] offensive skills such as [iai] and [taijin no tachi] can be used again in about a minute. In addition, there is a skill called "mikiri" that allows you to see through enemy attacks and dodge them, so you can temporarily function as an evasion tank (*1).

　

　The "Samurai" job itself is a higher level job than the "Warrior" job, so the "Delayed Slash" can also be used. Its attack power overwhelms the rest of the Colors.

I'm going!　　I will bring the blade that cuts the enemy!　　"Priest 1!

"Priest Squad 1!　　Take care of Tazato's HP!　　Hurry!

　

　Tazato's [Samurai] skill, [Tachi no Tachi], which is the largest of all swords, is unleashed with all his strength. You can see the tremendous "aura" and physical strength on the momentary swing.

　

　Rich also fights back against Tazato with a staff covered in purple light, but his allies, the Priests, immediately cast recovery magic and move to back up Tazato.

"Isn't this right? What do you think of Sota?"

"It's a game after HP is less than 20%. He'll go insane."

　

　My father said that the battle against the boss was going so well that he had won. But this Rich is not so easy.

　

　Some bosses go into a state called "insanity" where they use powerful skills when their remaining HP is low. In the case of Rich, when his HP is less than 20%, he will unleash a powerful wide-area dark magic called "Dark Vapor. This will not only damage your HP, but also give you blindness and numbness, and there is a danger that the vanguard will collapse at once.

　

　The best thing to do is not to attack unnecessarily when it goes insane, but to prioritize the recovery and reinforcement of your allies, and then try to cut down its HP in one fell swoop, but that's easier said than done.

"23% HP remaining!　　Attackers!　　It's time to change to dark armor and get ready!

　

　The last time, the vanguard was unable to cope with this insanity, and several Warriors died, forcing them to retreat. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

"It's coming! All priest groups, move to care! 』\

"If you can't get rid of the abnormal condition, please give a signal."

"Building a defensive team, fast! 』\

　

　At the moment when HP is less than 20% remaining, a huge magic circle is suddenly drawn at Lich's feet, and black waves spread in all directions in less than a few seconds. . It was the Dark Vapour.

　

　The other side, the Colors, formed a defensive formation with their shield bearers in front. In addition, the first group of Priests immediately casts Cure to restore abnormalities, and the second group casts Circle Heal to restore the range. Sanada moved the rest of the Priest team to control the HP of everyone and shouted to take care of the attackers who lacked recovery.

"Put your skills in from the guy who finished the cool time! 』\

　

　Tazato screams and charges into Lich, activating weapon skills. Following that Tazato, the [Warrior] unit reassembles the attacking team and takes the stance of "Delay Slash" all at once.

　On this day, Japan's deepest dungeon capture record was on the 32nd floor.

(* 1) Evasion tank

Normally, the tank has a shield with high defensive power to take charge of the opponent's attack, but the avoidance tank is not a shield and avoids the attack and manages the tank.

TL Note- I would like to thank d3led for making this sponsored Chapter possible and more are coming soon.( Don't  forget to comment Red no. 1 if you agree with Sota)
