Day 521-530/Day 524

Day 524 / 54th day
　A grayish-brown shadow runs down the corridor of the twenty-fifth floor. It ran on the floor, sometimes on the walls, just moving forward like a gale. Ten enemies appeared in front of the shadow. There were six Heavenly Knights and four winged silver wolves that followed them like hounds. Their fighting power was high enough to match their rank, and they had the vitality to regenerate their bodies at high speed as long as the gem crystals in their bodies were not lost. However, the shadows do not hesitate to face their enemies and reappear with the two weapons held by their silver arms. The pieces of the enemy's flesh scattered on the walls and floor like scraps of paper caught in a storm, and the remnants turned into light particles and disappeared much faster than usual because of the excessive destruction. Leaving it behind, the shadow resumed its sprint.
　Its true identity was me, the werewolf. As a werewolf, my attack was faster than ever.
　But I suppose that's to be expected.
　What I gained by becoming a werewolf was the leg power and speed to run not only on walls but even on the ceiling as a floor. He has an excellent sense of smell that allows him to sniff out wind currents and grasp the location of his prey, and a sense of hearing that allows him to hear even the smallest noise in the distance. Its limbs are covered with thick muscles that give it a good amount of strength, and the tough fur that surrounds its entire body is strong enough to withstand any kind of attack. It can run with a forward leaning posture as if it is about to fall to the ground, but if it uses its large tail to balance itself, it can run through the passage at high speed while maintaining its speed.
　In other words, even if there is a trap, it will pass before it is activated, and even if the floor is wide and complicated, it is easy to find the shortest distance to the destination by using the five senses.
　And as mentioned earlier, that speed is also a real asset in battle. In addition to the heavenly knights that had formed ranks here, there was also the winged silver wolf "Heavenly Winged Silver Wolf Hevensulf" and the "Burning Heavenly Wheel Photian Wheel" that had multiple wings attached to a burning wheel. "The Flaming Heavenly Wheel". The "Heavenly Winged Eye Snake Hevennade Snake" is a giant snake with wings, horns, and a magic eye about three meters long, and the "Wriggling Clean Wings Glendier Gui Onn" can only be described as a collection of wings. It's easy to slaughter them head-on at high speed.
　Currently, I hold the Vermillion Spear in my right hand and the great sword 【Winged Crystal Sword of Evil】 that I obtained from defeating the Great Heavenly Knight in my left hand.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. So, I changed my main equipment to the 【Winged Sword of Evil】, which is a drop item from the bosses of the levels, and the Vermillion Spear, which can easily slice through the outer skin and muscles of hard dungeon monsters.　If you add to that the physical abilities of a werewolf, each blow has a deadly destructive power, and the battle is usually over in a short time with a series of high-speed blows.
　The battle went smoothly again today, and we reached the stairs of the thirtieth floor. I'll try to reach the boss first thing tomorrow morning and then move on to the next level.

　“五十四日目　／　五■二■四■目”
　二十五階の通路を、灰褐色の影が疾駆する。
　床を走り、時には壁を駆け、ただ前に前にと疾風のように進んでいく。
　そんな影の前方に十体の敵が出現した。天騎士が六体に、それに猟犬のように付き従う四匹の翼ある銀狼だ。
　それ等が秘める戦闘力は階層に見合って高く、体内に持つ宝石結晶が無くならない限りは肉体を高速で再生する生命力がある。
　しかし影は躊躇なく敵に向かい、銀の両腕が握る二つの武器で薙ぎ払う。
　まるで暴風に巻き込まれた紙屑のように敵の肉片が壁や床に飛散し、過剰な破壊だからか通常よりも遙かに早く残骸が光の粒子となって消えていった。
　それを背後に置き去りにしながら、影は疾走を再開した。
　その正体は狼人と化した俺である。
　狼人と化した俺の攻略はコレまでよりも早い。
　しかしそれも当然の事ではあるのだろう。
　狼人化して得たのは、壁どころか天井さえ床として走行できる脚力と速度。
　風の流れを嗅ぎ分け獲物の位置を把握する優れた嗅覚や、遠くの小さな物音も聞き逃さない聴力。
　分厚い筋肉が隆起した四肢には相応の膂力が宿り、全身を包む強靱な毛皮は半端な攻撃は受け付けない頑丈さがある。
　地面に倒れ込みそうなほどの前傾姿勢での疾走も、大きな尻尾を使ってバランスをとれば速度を維持したまま高速で通路を駆け抜けられる。
　つまり罠があってもそれが起動する前に過ぎ去り、広く複雑化した階でも五感を使えば目的地までの最短距離を探るのも容易く、多少の無茶を許容できる肉体があるのだから攻略が加速するのは当然だ。
　そしてその速度は先程のように戦闘でも遺憾なく真価を発揮する。
　ここでも隊列を組んでいた天騎士だけでなく、追加で出没するようになった翼ある銀狼“”や燃える車輪に複数の翼をつけた“”。
　三メートル程の翼と角と魔眼を持つ大蛇“”や翼の集合体としか表現できない“”などとの戦闘でも真正面から高速で惨殺する事は容易だ。
　現在は右手に朱槍、左手に大天騎士討伐で得た大剣【破邪の翼晶剣】を持っている。
　二十一階からは敵も強くなり、マジックライフルなどでは威力不足になった。
　そこで階層ボスのドロップアイテムである【破邪の翼晶剣】と、硬いダンジョンモンスターの外皮や筋肉をスパスパと簡単に切り裂ける朱槍をメイン装備に変更した。
　そこに狼人となった身体能力を加算すれば一撃一撃が致命的な破壊力を発揮するので、戦闘は大体高速の連撃によって短時間で終わっていく。
　今日も攻略は順調に進み、三十階の階段まで到着してしまった。
　明日の朝一で階層ボスまで進んで、更に上に進もうと思う。
