Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 44 44: Redeemed Rewards



When we got home, me and my sister keep the matters of the dungeon hidden from our mothers. Just as we discussed, we will explore the dungeon first and eventually reveal it to our parents if we cannot go deeper by ourselves.

As for Griffith, since we couldn't do anything to its size, we didn't bring her home. We also keep her submission a secret and is currently in the plains, guarding the dungeon gate. I left a barrier with Mirage spell to keep it hidden from others.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

The day after tomorrow, my sister and I continued our dungeon exploration.

"Okay, Griffith. I'm sorry but it's your duty to guard the entrance again. As your reward…here."

"Skwa."

I opened my Inventory and dropped a huge fresh carcass of a Scarlett Boar. Scarlett Boars are C-ranked swine monsters with an average height of six meters. Its distinct feature was in its name itself, scarlet red furs.

Scarlett Boars are very valuable due to its raw materials. With furs so silky and vivid, many nobles and wealthy people demanding its pelt for their coats. It's had little resistance to magic so it also serves as a defensive material.

"Eat well. Let's go, Sister."

"Goodbye, Griffith."

After that, we proceed to the gate and entered the 1st Floor of the unconquered dungeon.

"Let's fight the 20th Floor Guardian right away."

"How about we level up first?"

"I don't have time to waste on weaklings. We have to conquer as many floors as we can. For I will be staying here until spring."

Sister's already fifteen years old and eligible for studying at the Imperial Capital. She will be studying at the academy for three years starting next spring.

That's why she's been eager to conquer this dungeon while she's still here. Not only that, she's been spending more time with our parents and even had her first passionate night with Mary.

Since she already knew my some abilities, she threatened to kill me if I peek at them while having wild nights.

"If you say so. Let's go and conquer this dungeon as soon as possible."

"That's the spirit, Raphael."

Since the monsters lurking from the 1st to the 19th floor around only around Level 119 at the strongest, we just skip those floors and directly teleported to the 20th Floor. In front of the Guardian Room to be exact.

"I wonder what kind of monster slumbering behind those doors."

"Let's open the doors to find out."

We opened the door slowly and the doors made a creaking sound. As the noises stopped, we entered the room and observe the inside.

Unlike the 10th Floor Guardian Room, this room expands twice the former. Though, the material of the walls were still the same and the same standing odd stone slab of the exit gave image at the adjacent wall.

We then fixed our gaze at the sleeping quadrupedal monster at the center. And there's a matter that we immediately noticed upon laying our purple eyes on it.

"This monster… I never seen a monster of its kind before…"

"Me, too. First time seeing it."

"Seems like a bull. And that's a hell of strength compared to its Level."

"It's defenses are decent. Agility are also high since it has wings."

"It must be a rare monster. Killing it would be a waste but we need to."

If you combine the descriptions we had sketched on the monster, you could conclude that it's a bull with a pair of wings.

Thud.

Upon closing the doors, the winged bull monster called Buraq opened its eyes then stand from its sleeping position. The Buraq breathe out a long and heavy exhalation before activating its Extra Skill and stood in spot menacingly.

"Let alone the lizard, it didn't even reached Mother's."

"Yeah. Even without activating the Intimidation, you're still scarier than that." I nodded in agreement, but whispered the latter.

"Did you say something about me?" she asked with a cold and chilly tone.

"N-no, Sister."

(See?! That's the reason why!)

Her sharp gaze alone, Sister was capable of immobilizing a knight. If she's really pissed off, her frightening aura could knocked out even Level 200 adventurers.

As I am thinking about my pulse-pounding sister, the Buraq flew upwards then charged at us head-on with its hardened horns. Even though it flew at its full speed and might…

Swish.

Thud.

A hissing sound of something sharp quickly reached my ears followed by a falling noise. It was the sound of the swing of my sister's naked blade and the thud of a collapsed bull.

"Thank you, Sis. How considerate of you."

"You want it, right? I cut it clean for you." she said as she sheathed back her blue blade.

Since it was a rare monster, I want to have a preserved specimen of it. As a collector myself, I wanted to have the sample alive, if needed to be killed, the corpse must be in pristine condition. The Indestructible Lizard was a rare occurrence, too. But it too dangerous to be left alive.

To prevent the bull from inflicting unnecessary lesions, Sister cleanly decapitated the bull in one swoop.

I have a better way to kill it even inflicting a single wound but Sister got the first shot.

(Still, I have to thank her properly later.) I reminded myself as I froze and carefully store the Buraq in my Inventory.

As usual, the stone slabs begun to move upon the defeat of the Guardian. The reward chest ascend and the stairway to the 21st Floor unfold.

"Hmm. A high-quality steel cuirass. Not a bad reward but unnecessary to us."

"Indeed. Wearing armors make us uncomfortable."

Even though the cuirass is in high quality, we already clad ourselves with durable but much comfortable gears. And it were all handmade by me.

I asked Mom some materials for our defensive gears like monsters' silk, threads, wool, hide, and fur. With a skill that I synthesized, the Unique Skill Weaver, I would be able to produce garments.

For my upper garments, I weave Queen Evil Tarantula's white silky threads into fabric and sewed a long-sleeved shirt. Due to its material, the shirt had an extremely delicate and refined texture.

I then weave Vermin Kaiser's black metal threads for making the top. To protect my vital organs against fatal damages, I made a waistcoat over the shirt.

Using the same black fabric, I used it and sewed my own black slacks. Since the metal threads had the same thickness and shade as a piece of hair, my pants and vest gave off radiant raven-black luster.

Being made from high-ranking monsters had its perks too. If charged with mana, the fabrics becomes more durable than this steel armor, or even a mithrill one. To make it more convenient, I enchanted all of the articles with some skills.

Size Change to change the size of the garments to fit the physique of the wearer. Since I can't always let it drenched in blood to repair itself, I can't apply Blood Life on the garments. I tried to bestow it with Regeneration but it seems to be working. Then Ownership and Disguise for the final touches.

That's my defensive gears that I will be using for battles. Durable but comfortable and easy to move. As for my sister…

For her battle gear, I used the metal threads as the main fabric. Sew it into a plain black dress with a knee-length skirt and see-through loose long sleeves. I made the dress covered up to the collar level for her protection.

Of course, I didn't forget to make a close-fitting, non-sheer tights to cover her waist to ankle. Serves as a protection from lesions, also from the sharp gazes of voyeurs.

The tights were made from black-dyed Queen Evil Tarantula's silk for smooth sensation and flexibility. Sister has been able to move on ease and gave it high remarks about its comfortability.

Then bestowed the set with the same enchantment as mine. I vastly focused on safety rather than forsaking chic and flair. This is an RPG game where the lesser the covered area, the higher the defensive stats.

Sister hesitated to wear the set first, but went through when I revealed my reward coupon. I forged her a katana as my sister promised me a reward. So I took that opportunity to use her slender body.

Now, she became my model for my homemade clothing. And I still have many clothes for her to wear and are currently sleeping inside my storage or still drafted on paper waiting to be sew in the near future.

After wearing and used it in battles many times, she gradually gained awareness of the dress's convenience and started to like it. Now, she looked like a Gothic Lolita in black.

"Now that we redeemed our rewards, let's go quick and dive deeper, Raphael."

"Yes, ma'am." I replied with a weak voice as I followed her down the flight of stairs.
