7 one more day and one more descent

8:30 in the morning March 22, 2045

Celder was in his kitchen washing the dishes after having breakfast, and he was particularly bored.

When he looked at the reflection, he could see his face, and he kept thinking what he would do that day.

Without anything particularly interesting to do, Celder dried his hands with a towel and turned on his washing machine by putting all his dirty clothes on the machine even though there was not much to wash since he lived alone.

Celder began to think about what the other famous adventurers would do to have fun on a boring day then he remembered that most of the famous adventurers were also the sons of millionaires or people who thank to their constant efforts made fortunes.

It is not as if he felt envious of them.

Celder decided to wait for his clothes to finish washing to hang in the backyard and after that he decided to go down again to the dungeon just to kill time.

Although doing something that can cost you your life nobody knows if it counts as an activity to "Kill time"

With nothing to do and just waiting for the machine to finish with Celder clothes, he decided to take the chest out of the bottomless bag and began to check the swords that he found, since yesterday he had used a sword to kill 5 people.

Although for some reason he did not feel anything having killed those 5 people as if that were totally normal.

When he took all the weapons out of the chest, the swords emanated lightly a dark energy and Celder told himself at that moment.

"Cursed Swords"(Celder)

When he observed each and every weapon on the table, he noticed that each one of them emanated the exact same energy.

In his mind then remembered what they said of the cursed swords but for some strange reason Celder had not experienced any discomfort with the armor that was cursed.

Celder observed more the external appearance of the weapons than his true potential, so he decided to take a pair of swords that were almost identical but had slight differences in the sets.

These swords had a cup-style handle to protect the hands of their wearer and both had a curved blade 1 meter long and 15 centimeters wide.

Strange decorations could be seen on both blades although one of these blades had decorations of black color while the other had gray color.

When raising both swords. Celder could feel that they weighed nothing at all.

A smile crossed his face as he watched both swords until a sound interrupted his thoughts.

The laundry machine had finished with its cleaning cycle.

25 minutes of hanging clothes, sweeping the house afterwards

Celder equipped his armor and hooked his shield to his back and the shotgun in the same way because this time he was determined to use the two new swords to start gaining experience using them as this would be the second time he would use a sword knowing that at present he could use a firearm to avoid unnecessary damage against monsters in the dungeon but having experience in other things never hurts.

Celder concentrated and appeared in front of the entrance of the dungeon once more but again he could see that it had changed.

The ancient entrance made of lava rock now had the shape of one of those ancient "Torii" style entrances and looking inside the old rock staircase was now made of wood with a luxurious old carpet that was torn in many places.

The walls inside the dungeon resembled the old Japanese walls and there were even old doors although these were broken due to the possible antiquity of these.

Celder began to walk into the dungeon until after 10 minutes the first enemy appeared.

In front of Celder was a Japanese soldier's armor with a "Kasa" hat on his head which possessed a naginata with the rusty blade and which appeared to have relatively fresh blood.

The armor noticed Celder, and he bowed before putting himself in fighting position.

Celder could see that the armor behaved like an old Japanese soldier and decided not to disrespect him, so he copied the same action.

The armor remained motionless until it began to run forward.

The naginata was pointed towards the shoulder of Celder, but he put one of the swords to block it but what happened at that moment left Celder totally confused.

The armor had changed the trajectory of his weapon in less than a second allowing him to touch the armor of Celder but this was not transferred but the naginata of the armor ended up breaking.

The armor stepped back a couple of steps and pulled out a sword very similar to the nodachi which was in the same state as the very rusty and old naginata.

The armor took the sword with both hands and put it in front of him as if he were waiting for an attack.

Celder decided to attack this time as the armor was able to change the trajectory of his weapon very easily but thanks to the hardness of his armor he was able to leave unharmed.

Celder raised both swords at the same time and threw one of them which was deflected with the old nodachi but that weapon was so rusty that at the contact with the sword of Celder it broke in half as well.

The armor remained motionless again and again this weapon was removed but this time it was a small dagger that almost instantly stuck in the stomach breaking its armor in the abdomen area.

The armor knelt on the ground and a ghost appeared behind it which drew a long sword and cut off its head immediately.

The ghost raised his sword and enbain again saying a few words to the victor.

"名誉をもって戦う"(Ghost)

The ghost observed the headless armor on the ground and also said a few words for it.

"名誉で死ぬ"(Ghost)

Celder could understand that he was Japanese but for him it was impossible to know what the ghost was saying.

The ghost turned around and disappeared like the wind leaving Celder confused.

Celder observed the armor and that it had disappeared and in its place it had left a small black stone which he took without much interest and kept in the bottomless bag.

Celder walked for another long time through the corridors until he entered a room lit with candles and at the other end of this room were 5 armor that was kneeling but the one that was in the middle of the other 4 woke up and it started to grow.

The armor resembled the appearance of a samurai armor which was decorated with a red hue and some pieces of gold that were broken and the face of this armor was one of those ancient samurai demons.

The armor rested on the ground as if it were an animal and it let out a scream, making the whole room a clean area.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"(Demon samurai)

Celder nervously watched the armor as it began to walk circularly watching Celder as if he were studying it.

Celder squeezed the handles of his swords and prepared for a fight like never before.

The demon in front of him disappeared and reappeared in front of him raising his sword which collided with the swords of Celder but the difference of force made the result obvious.

Celder was buried in the ground but thanks to the armor he did not suffer almost any damage although the impact of sword with sword made his arms feel sore.

Celder noticed that if he tried to take out the shotgun this would give the demon enough time to attack and that would be his end since Celder did not know with certainty how much damage would be able to withstand the armor before breaking.

When leaving the ground Celder concentrated and decided also to use his teleport appearing behind the devil.

Celder swung his swords quickly in the helmet of the demon but this one in the impact only suffered some cracking and the demon took his head that had suffered some damage due to the impact of the swords.

Celder fell to the ground and cut the back of the demon's feet causing it to kneel but the demon proved to be very resistant to damage and immediately when Celder touched the ground the demon attacked with his sword with one hand while the other kept his head.

Celder crouched down and the devil instantly redirected his sword by throwing it into the ground where Celder had bent down so that Celder had no choice but to pull back and abandon the possibility of doing another attack.

Celder noticed that the demon, thanks to the cuts in his legs, had become slower.

Without thinking twice, Celder he threw his swords on the ground and took the shotgun from his back and shot without hesitation against the demon until he had used up all the cartridges in the shotgun.

* BAAAANNNGG *

* BAAAANNNGG *

* BAAAANNNGG *

* BAAAANNNGG *

* BAAAANNNGG *

* BAAAANNNGG *

6 loud shots could be heard inside the dungeons.

The demon had lost an arm and a half skull by the shots and his chest had 4 huge perforations and this one took out a small dagger trying to imitate what the other soldier's armor had done but the hand that held the dagger was immediately cut by the ghost.

"名誉悪魔なしで死ぬ"(Ghost)

The ghost looked up and watched Celder for a few moments, and he threw a small amulet that Celder managed to take avoiding it to fall to the ground.

The ghost again observed the devil and out of nowhere huge dark chains appeared which were intertwined in the body of the demon which began to be dragged to a dark vortex that had appeared on the ground.

Celder watched as the demon was being carried away until it finally disappeared and the ghost as well.

Upon inspecting the amulet in his hand, Celder noticed that it began to shine and when he opened his eyes he was in a room full of treasures.

Again as the first time huge stacks of gold, weapons, armor, jewelry, gems and thousands of other extremely valuable things against Celder once again to be taken.

Celder watched the whole room and could not help but smile knowing that today another fight had ended and also that he had found another payment.

"Better start, if not I will not finish today to load all ahahaha!" (Celder)
