Chapter 13: Fastest level up
≪Old temple in the swamp≫
It's a dungeon located a few kilometers away from the royal capital. As the name suggests, a ruined temple stands in a vast swamp.
This dungeon was famous for one thing.
In a nutshell, it's just "incredibly troublesome."
The monsters that appear are all "persistent," taking an incredibly long time to defeat. On top of that, even if you go through the trouble of defeating them, you don't get any useful materials as a bonus. This, coupled with the fact that adventurers keep avoiding it, has led to it being left untouched for decades since its discovery.
As a result, despite several decades passing since its discovery, it remains unconquered.
This is one of those "failed dungeons," but for me, who knows an efficient method to earn experience points, this is the perfect "hunting ground."

I trudge through the muddy ground.
After walking for a few minutes, I quickly encountered a certain monster.
"Revival Slime...!"
It doesn't have any significant attack skills, so it's a somewhat reassuring opponent.
However, true to its name, it "revives" even if you deal damage to it.
No matter how you cook or burn it, it returns to its original state immediately. It's the kind of "troublesome opponent" that you have to keep dealing damage to until it runs out of magical power.
Generally, fighting against Revival Slimes is considered a "waste of time," and it's said that the optimal solution when encountering them is to "run away."
Therefore, the Revival Slimes here have also been left untouched for many years.
"≪Status Analysis≫."

Level: 15
BP (Barrier Points): 0
MP (Magic Points): 1,200/1,200
Experience Points: 1,100/113,100
------------------------------
Looking at it, it had indeed grown to a high level.
Normally, Revival Slimes are said to have an average level of around 10. However, due to not being defeated for several decades, it has continued to grow, reaching level 15.
With the difficulty involved in defeating it at this level, it falls into a vicious cycle of being increasingly left alone.
"But for me right now, it's incredibly convenient."
I couldn't help but chuckle and mutter to myself.

A high-level monster that keeps resurrecting.
In other words, it means unlimited experience points.
"Sorry, but you're going to be my 'punching bag.'"
I drew my sword and energetically attacked the Revival Slime.
"Double Slash!"
A magical slash tore the slime's body into three pieces. The mud-like remains, cut apart by the pressure of the sword, slammed against the wall behind it, losing its form and becoming a shapeless mess.
However, in the next moment, the scattered body was drawn back together in one place, regaining its semi-circular form.
For an ordinary adventurer, it might be a moment to sigh in frustration, but I was different.
I closed the distance to the slime again and began to slash its body with a series of attacks. Despite its persistent revival, I didn't falter.
―― I continued swinging my sword for about 10 minutes.
I had lost count of how many times I had slashed, but the Revival Slime still had plenty of magical power left and showed no signs of falling.
However,

Level Up!
Level 5 ⇒ Level 6

You have gained 1 Skill Point (SP).
------------------------------
After battling the "higher-level" opponent for 10 minutes straight, I managed to earn experience points at an incredible rate and successfully leveled up in no time.
My devised "higher-level punching bag strategy" had proven effective.
"Let's keep going!"
I turned towards the slime, psyching myself up once again.
My stamina was steadily decreasing as I continued swinging my sword, but the adrenaline from the fact that I was growing at the fastest rate kept me energized, if not more so.
In the next 15 minutes, I leveled up even further.
------------------------------
Level Up!
Level 6 ⇒ Level 7
------------------------------
Even so, he continued to swing his sword and leveled up once again.

Level Up!
Level 7 ⇒ Level 8
------------------------------
Continuing to swing the sword for another hour.
After the Revival Slime underwent its revival countless times, it finally seemed to run out of magical power. I could sense a tinge of fear in the slime's eyes.
"This is the end!"
I delivered a Double Slash into the Revival Slime's body. Its body had scattered many times before, but this time, it didn't revive.
With the final blow, experience points accumulated, and I leveled up once again.
------------------------------
Level Up!
Level 8 ⇒ Level 9
------------------------------
As a result of continuously dealing damage to the Revival Slime, I was able to level up four times in just one hour.
Moreover, I didn't take a single point of damage during that time.
With this, the "higher-level punching bag strategy" had been proven effective for the fastest level up.
In the ≪Old temple in the swamp≫, there are plenty of other ≪Revival Slimes≫ left untouched and growing in level. By continuing to use them as punching bags, I could further increase my level.
