“Run away!”

I shouted and ran away from the charging Treasure Hunter. It moved much like a bull, barreling down the hallways without any hope of being able to stop its momentum. The best thing we could do is get to a turn in the hallway.

Ahead of us was a hall intersecting to the right. I immediately grabbed the girls and dived down it. Just as I had predicted, the Treasure Hunter couldn’t stop and he ended up passing by.

“Let’s go!” Then I jumped back into the hallway behind where he just passed. The creature had stopped, but he had already made his way down the hallway by a bit. “Attack!”

I pointed and gave the order. The extremely threatening Treasure Hunter had one weakness. Although I had acted on impulse, it was actually the best action to take. The Treasure Hunter was now facing away from us, and in this dungeon it couldn’t turn around. The girls began to attack its back aggressively.

Like some other monsters we’ve encountered in the past, this Treasure Hunter was an HP sponge. Unlike the insects that could be killed in one hit, all five girls whaled on this thing for minutes while it failed to turn around. If we had been fighting it from the front, it would have been extremely difficult to defeat. Its powerful arms and swipes would have been challenging for the girls. It might have taken over an hour for it to finally collapse.

As for now, the biggest concern was that it would suddenly charge again, but the Treasure Hunter was thankfully too dumb for that. It just sat there trying and failing to turn as it let out vicious sounding wails. After five minutes of battle, it finally collapsed to the ground and disappeared. In its place was the chest from earlier. When I opened it though, it wasn’t just the sword I had seen earlier. There were coins and a couple of other magical items.

The sword was the thing that caught my interest the most though, so I picked it up and identified it.

{Widow’s Sword – An orichalcum sword imbued with mana. Infuse mana using Mana Control to activate the attack.

Not only was the sword made of the rare orichalcum, but it was also a magic sword! It had the name of the dungeon on it, although I didn’t know if that had any significance. Gripping the sword in my hand and turning away from the girls, I put mana in it. When it didn’t do anything, I attempted to strike.

“Oh! Wow… it’s the Master sword!”

“Is that its name, Master?” Lydia asked curiously.

“Ah… no…”

“If Master is taking the sword, isn’t it Master’s sword?” Celeste offered.

“Ah, I guess you’re right.”

The smartest things sometimes came from Celeste’s head. I called it the Master sword because when I imbued it and struck, a projectile of light shot out of it. It was a bit sharper than Mana Blast, but it used a tenth of the mana. In short, I could now attack long distance without needing to learn archery. As long as I was careful to not hit the girls, I could now attack from a distance just like Celeste.

The rest of the magic items I passed on to the girls, who had lost most of their stuff during their fight with Shao. As for the money, it was about 100 gold, although it was mostly in copper and silver. Including the money we got from the siren and the money we picked up from the insect horde, we were now at around 1500 gold. This was truly a wealthy dungeon.
