Only My Dungeon Equipment Levels Up! (SSS-Rank Weapons)

“Well? Any excuses?”

“I’m sorry, Senior, I just…”

“I used to be okay with it before, but now…”

…

This is the 10th floor.

Kenya, who had somehow been left behind on the 11th floor, returned through the gate to the 10th floor.

There, he found two people rubbing their bodies while covered in goosebumps.

“Gross, gross, gross!!”

“It’s just disgusting… endlessly so.”

The dense forest, the jungle spreading from the 11th floor, was like the Amazon. And the monsters that appeared, all of them…

…were insect-type.

I’ve heard that in the real Amazon, insects are several times bigger than those in Japan, but the insects produced by the dungeon are different. They’re not just bigger; some are even larger than humans and could easily prey on us. Being surrounded and slowly eaten by those disgusting insects would be hell; just imagining it is nauseating.

“You guys…”

“Aren’t they way too gross? Those things.”

“Just looking at them gave me chills. Look at these goosebumps.”

“Shut up!”

I silenced the excuses of the two girls who had left me behind. It’s no wonder they found it gross; honestly, I did too.

Imagine it: spiders, moths, and shiny black cockroaches as big as your own body. But…

“Even so, leaving me behind and running away…”

In the end, Kenya had to defeat the swarm of monsters alone. Even though Kenya, equipped with A-rank gear, wasn’t troubled by them, he never expected to be abandoned. The strange fluids that splattered with each slash and the inexplicable screeching noises were truly repulsive.

“I’m ready now! Next time, for sure!”

“I’ll do my best too! Maybe…”

“Sigh… I’ll believe you.”

And so, the three of them headed back to the 11th floor.

…

“Noooo!! Gross, gross, gross!!”

“I must kill my emotions, like I did back then…”

The two girls screamed as they defeated the insect-type monsters. The drop items on this floor were mostly from the Knight series. For now, to avoid taking up too much space, they alchemized everything into seeds and stored them in Misuzu’s item box. Occasionally, insect-type armor would drop, but since it wasn’t particularly rare, they also converted it into alchemy seeds.

“Well, we’re making progress, even with all the complaints.”

Kenya and the others continued to advance smoothly. This floor had been cleared multiple times before, so the map was precise, and there was no risk of getting lost. There were also many mid-level explorers, so they often encountered others.

To be honest, even if they took all the attacks from the monsters on this floor, it wouldn’t make a dent in them. After all, Kenya’s defense exceeded 5000.

Misuzu was equipped with the King series, and as for Reina, her defense was already over 1000.

“We’re at the mid-boss already, but… are you okay?”

The three of them stood before the door to the 15th floor for the first time. It had taken about 2-3 hours to get there.

But the two girls’ faces were pale. Reina’s eyes had the same dead look as they did back then, and Misuzu was already sniffling, her eyes swollen from crying.

(I hope we don’t go back to how things were before… Misuzu is already crying.)

Seeing how exhausted the two were, it seemed better to clear the 20th floor quickly and switch to exploring the 21st floor. They absolutely had to clear up to the 20th floor today.

Kenya opened the door, and inside awaited a massive insect-type monster.

Its name was…

“Too gross!!!!”

“Nooooooooooo!!!”

…The ‘Thousand-Legged Centipede.’

By the way, ‘centipede’ is written with the kanji for ‘hundred legs.’ It probably means it has about a hundred legs. But this centipede was bigger than me. And it seemed to have close to a thousand legs, hence ‘Thousand-Legged Centipede.’ It was so gross that I got goosebumps.

“All stats, speed!”

Kenya appeared in front of the centipede in an instant.

“All stats, attack power!!!”

It was so gross that I overkilled it. I sliced its long body in half with one blow. With over 6000 attack power, it would be a fatal blow even on the higher floors. There was no way this centipede could withstand it.

It was sliced in half, and then the two parts started moving around.

“Gi gi gi gi gi!!”

The insect’s vitality, wriggling even after being split in two, was impressive. Disgusting! Misuzu and Reina kept chanting “Gross, gross” the entire time. After a while, the creature turned to ash, and the wriggling stopped, leaving a treasure chest behind.
