Danmachi: Gacha Draw

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - Tsubaki



The killer ant's mouthparts kept chewing and squeaking. At this moment, it had an absolute numerical advantage, but it didn't dare to step forward and confront Link head-on. 

"He's calling his companions?" 

Link immediately noticed something unusual. 

Then he makes a quick decision! 

Link turned the spear, held the weapon tightly in his hand, pointed it in the direction of the killer ant, and decided to push forward. 

In an instant, the ground where Link originally stood exploded, and the powerful force even brought about a strong wind. 

At this moment, Link was like a shooting star! 

Breakthrough! Breakthrough! 

With unprecedented momentum, facing the dense group of monsters in front of him, Link used all his strength and stabbed out!

"Light Flame Gun!!!"

The next moment, a great roar resounded in the cave, and orange flames accompanied the movement of the spear, sweeping through the entire passage. The entire field of vision was filled with hot, burning flames. 

The burning flames filled the space, and it even seemed as if the walls of the passage were crumbling. 

Standing at the entrance of the stairs, Olga stretched out her hand to block the dazzling light. After a while, when the light dissipated, Olika looked back at the cave room, only the burnt wounds and the scattered magic stone fragments on the ground remained. 

In that blow just now, Link definitely exerted a power beyond Lv.1. This kind of damage was completely beyond the reach of those Lv.1 adventurers. 

At this moment, the cave passages were almost completely destroyed. The killer ants and other monsters had been wiped out by the previous attack. Even the magic stones they threw on the ground were in tatters. 

The magic stones dropped by the monsters in the dungeon can be broken. 

After suffering a strong attack, the magic stone will shatter, and consequently, the power contained within it will disappear. 

In fact, breaking the magic stone is the most effective way to kill monsters. The magic stone can be regarded as their heart, but few adventurers will destroy the magic stone. 

After all, the magic stone is equivalent to money. Destroying the magic stone means having trouble with money.

It was also the first time Link used his full strength and unleashed his strongest attack. He didn't expect it to cause such lethality, and even the magic stone had been torn into tatters. 

Such a magic stone can't be sold for much. 

Fortunately, there are still many items dropped, such as Lizard Bast and Killer Ant Claws. These things can be sold for a lot of money. 

...

It was still nighttime, and Link, who had calculated the time, brought Olga out of the dungeon. 

First, they went to the guild to exchange the magic stones for magic. This time, Miss Eina wasn't here, perhaps because she was resting, but today I only exchanged the magic stones, so there was no need to bother her anymore.

The magic stone in his hand was exchanged for over 70,000 valis, 74,300 valis to be precise. The Killer Ant Magic Stone could have been sold for 1,000 valis, but in the end it only sold for 200 because it was damaged. 

After exchanging the magic stones, Link went to the Hephaestus Familia again, preparing to sell the rare drops. 

Hephaestus seemed to have notified the family members below early. The person who came to greet Link was the leader of the Hephaestus Familia members named Tsubaki Collbrande, a woman with her left eye covered and dressed as elegantly as an Amazon. With a long red skirt on her lower body, but only a bandage wrapped around her upper body, a lady with a milf-like figure.

Orario recognizes her as the most powerful blacksmith below the gods, and she has great strength. 

She is a half-dwarf born from a mix of humans and dwarves from the Far East. Since almost all dwarves have short arms and legs, Tsubaki's height is a different figure from that of dwarves. 

As a blacksmith, Tsubaki would go to the dungeon first to test the weapons she made, so she was accidentally promoted to level 5. The reason was very strange, but it also showed how powerful this girl was. 

"Lord Hephaestus has already told me, Mr. Link, please take out all the materials and I will do the inventory work!"

In the reception room, Tsubaki, who had locked the door, said loudly and boldly. 

As a goddess, Hephaestus naturally wouldn't do this kind of inventory work by himself, not to mention that she also had her own things to do. Sometimes, Hephaestus would spend several days in a row to build a weapon. With the doors closed for several months, it would be impossible for Link to deal with these trivial matters every day. 

But in order to ensure that Link's information wouldn't be easily leaked, she asked the leader of her Familia to personally entertain and conduct the inventory. 

As the leader of the Familia, Tsubaki is naturally the person Hephaestus trusts the most. 

Link is also relieved by this. 

"Okay, let's take out all the dropped items this time!"

"Well, sorry to bother you, Captain Tsubaki." 

"You're welcome!" 

Link raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a jingling sound could be heard and countless falling objects fell out of nowhere like a downpour. 

"Oh~!" 

Although she had heard it from her goddess, but seeing it with her own eyes, Tsubaki still opened her mouth wide in surprise and let out a scream. 

"This is... this is too much!" 

Countless kobold claws, goblin fangs, lizard bast, killer ant claws, and shadow fingers. 

Without exception, they are all rare materials dropped by monsters in dungeons.

Normally, they might not drop a single rare item when they enter the dungeon to hunt for a whole day, but now they appear in numbers as large as rain. 

As a blacksmith who knows Tsubaki's rarity firsthand, can't he be surprised? 

"If you're right, there are 153 pieces of Kobold Claws, 177 pieces of Goblin Fangs, 121 pieces of Lizard Bast, 63 pieces of Shadow Finger Blades, and 47 pieces of Killer Ant Claws. Please count them."

"Okay, okay! Just wait for me!"

Tsubaki licked her lips and quickly began counting the dropped items in front of her. 

Tsubaki is extremely happy now with so many drops, even if there is a chance that the forge will fail during the forging process, it is still enough to create several top-tier weapons. 

Or, if these materials are used to train half-baked blacksmiths, practicing with these materials will be enough to cultivate several outstanding blacksmiths. 

Tsubaki counted the items very quickly. In a short time, a total of 561 dropped items were counted. All of the dropped items were sorted by Tsubaki and stacked neatly.

So, Tsubaki took out a small notebook and started calculating the price…

"Yup! There are 561 items in total. The number is right. Goddess Hephaestus said that according to the guild's purchase price, kobolds and goblins cost 5,000 valis. Lizard bast can be made into leather armor, but leather armor is not easy to sell among adventurers and is often only used for the lining of armor, but if you choose the lining, it will be more comfortable to use soft cloth, so the price is only 2000 valis, Shadow Finger Blade costs 5500 valis, and Killer Ant Claw costs 9000 valis. Link, do you have any questions about the price?

"No problem, the price is fair."
