The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter - Chapter 100 - Let’s return them to normal

Chapter 100 Let’s return them to normal

When I appraised the town’s people that were turned to stone.

【Permanent petrifaction】

＜Petrifaction state, maintained indefinitely.＞

It’s too pitiful, so I will change the sentence and make it impossible to maintain.

LP required for tp destroy the skill is… 6000?!

I despair.

As I possessed less than 5000 LP it was just impossible…

「It more expensive than I expected. My current LP is not enough.」

「Then, how about all of us help accumulate LP for Noir-dono?」

Luna-san had a nice idea but I’m a bit troubled since the first one to jump onto it was Perido-san.

「There is a way?! If there is anything I can do, I will cooperate!」

「Perido-san, that’s a bit…」

「Am I not good…?」

I’m not interested in men, sorry. Looks like there are no enemies in town, so we try to enter inside of a building and accumulate LP. However, Laura-san puts a hold to it.

「I’ve got an idea. Noir-san, can you create【Alchemy】?」

I check it right away.

Alchemy C 800 LP
Alchemy B 2000 LP
Alchemy A 4500 LP
Alchemy S 8000 LP

「I can take up to B.」

「B you say… Though it gets particularly strong from A.」

Is that so? I wonder what is different.

【Alchemy B】

＜Creating a new substance by combining multiple suitable materials, expending them in process.＞

【Alchemy A】

＜Creating a new substance by combining multiple suitable materials, expending them in process. Also, allows to sense whether transmutation will succeed or not.＞

A has the advantage of not having to fail.

「Alchemy requires trial and error and tends to waste a lot of materials.」

「Suppose we were able to use alchemy, what you intend to do?」

「There is a record that in the past an item was made using alchemy, that allowed to undo petrification state. Mass production was also possible. But that document didn’t have part listing ingredients.」

So the idea is to try various combinations to craft item. In fact, there are several thousand stone statues here. With 6000 LP per person, it’s not really feasible.

「Then, accumulate LP to get A or S, oh, right! Maybe…」

I had a bright idea.

The main point is knowledge? If so, then I have the strongest ally on my side.

…Great Sage, using alchemy, I want to create an item to undo effects of permanent petrification. Teach me!

【There are two items that can be made with alchemy. First one is called『Cure-all Panacea』, a medicine capable of curing all abnormal conditions. Another one is called『Petrification Remedy』and capable of reverting petrification state. 】

Thank you, the demon of knowledge, Great sage. I also ask how to make it.

【The following is the Petrification Remedy creating method.
・Holy water x 200ml
・Nourishment pill x 1
・Magic stone (small) x 1
・Either a container, a gourd, or a bottle.】

「I learned manufacturing method from Great Sage. The materials…」

I tell them everything. According to Perido-san, all of those had a low rarity.

「We might be able to collect those even from this town. Holy water should be in church, magic stones and pills in a curio shop, let’s split into groups.」

I have【Item Appraisal】. I can make a distinction between unfamiliar items, so together with Emma, we go for a curio shop.

In case a headache from Great sage hits me, having Emma around is very reassuring. We found a curio shop that appeared to be well-established, so we enter inside.

「Heello, you’d say out of habit.」

「I get that.」

Two of us search the interior. Emma immediately found a magic stone.

「There is a lot of them. Lucky!」

Magic stone is a stone that contains magic power and it’s said that they have a lot of various applications. The large size is comparably rare, but smaller one circulate in quite a large numbers and easy to attain.

「The payment, what should we do?」

「We need it to save people… I think we don’t have to pay. We can also pay for them later.」

「Sorry, I’ll be borrowing it.」

I inform the shopkeeper at the counter in the back. He was petrified while backing away. My eyes are drawn to the shelf behind him.

Several drawstring bags are placed at the top of the shelf. Maybe it’s a medicine.

「Noir, give me a shoulder ride. I will take them.」

「Yes, princess.」

I crouch in front of the shelf. When Emma’s thighs were next to my face, I stand up. As I give her a shoulder ride, a difficult question comes flying.

「Am I-I not heavy?」

「Well, you are totally lighter than I expected.」

「That’s good… Or maybe not good at all! Just how heavy you imagined me to be?」

「Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean anything bad. More importantly, could you grab the pills?」

Weight wasn’t a good topic to discuss with women. Emma reaches for a drawstring bag. Opening, inside were a lot of pills wrapped in the paper.

A black pill of about two cm in diameter.

After appraising it, I form a fist from happiness. It’s definitely a nutritional pill. And there is a considerable amount.

As I was wondering what was used in making then, Emma reveals me a shocking truth.

「I heard it in the past… There is a monster’s poop blended in.」

「Hmmm… Perhaps, I didn’t have to know that.」

「But it seems to be compressed for safety concerns. Sometimes they mix in there stuff from humans as well or something like that.」

「Emma! You didn’t have to tell me that, because I already touched it!」

「Don’t worry, our bonds won’t disappear from just that.」

「You say that, but why do you keep distancing yourself from me?」

Emma was a bit cute doing exaggerated fake laugh, but I guess I should try to hold hand with her later.

Anyway, if such a store that wasn’t even big had this much, it gives me hope that we will find large quantities in urban areas.

Next, we have to find a vessel.

I pick a nearby container that looked like it could hold a liquid. We also intrude in the living space at the back of the store and collect cups.

Now, since we collected the needed ingredients, we return to the meeting place.

The other four had already gathered, and each of them had necessary for alchemy ingredients in their hands.

Luna-san had two buckets filled with water to the brim.

「There was that much holy water?」

「There was even more. In a sense, we are lucky, since we can replenish it if this won’t be enough.」

「Indeed. We have all the ingredients, we only have to craft it. I will now learn the skill.」

Alchemy B should be enough.

Combined with the outstanding Great sage, it can exert power much exceeding rank A.

Taking LP into perspective, that is the course I should take. I create【Alchemy B】. I lined up material on the ground beneath my eyes and made intent to create salvation fluid.

For a moment light shines, and then we have a cup with liquid instead of disappeared materials.

It is a transparent liquid that looks like water at first glance. In the appraisal eye, it came out as 【Petrification Remedy】, so alchemy can be regarded as a success.

「You did it, as expected from Noir.」

「Amazing, you really made it!」

Layla-san and Emma cheer in delight.

Everyone else had broad smiles on their face as well. There still a lot of materials left, so I make multiple.

Now, if we make them drink it and undo petrification, it’s a success. For starters, I would like to undo petrification on only one person and hear what happened here.

「Who would be good.」

「Noir-dono, how about this person?」

The one who caught eyes of Luna-san was a woman of a blessed complexion. She is much taller than I.

「It looks like among masses that were trying to escape, she tried to fight. She became a stone swinging down the sword.」

「And she also looks strong.」

A woman with short hair, who was petrified while holding a claymore, which could be considered a greatsword.

Since she was turned into stone while holding the sword, it means that she saw the enemy and had enough courage not to run from it.

「I will ask about the situation from this person, any objections?」

Since there are none, I get into action. I pour down【Petrification Remedy】into her.

I finish pouring the whole of it.

A remarkable change showed after about ten seconds.

The stone parts gradually faded away and she regained her original appearance!

Great, now we can talk to her!
