Vol 1 Chapter 1 (2/2)

If I change my point of view, my memory came back one after another.

Noticing something, I look around my surrounding.

This Habuil tower is a dungeon.

Moreover, I am a mid-boss, isn’t the reason I exist, is to protect somekind of treasure?

Though this is in a small room with no windows in the middle of the dungeon, there is fairly enough light to lit up the room. And turning my sight around the room…. there it was.

In the fairly dull room with exaggerated steel door at the deepest part of the room, in other words behind my back, there was a treasure box casually lying there.

It’s the heros privilige to open treasure boxes?

As if there is something stupid like that.

Opening the treasure box in an excited mood, there was a giant axe inside.

[“Demon Slayer” huh. How nostalgic.]

Me as a demon and using this Demon Slayer is how should I put it; right, it is that feeling of something that doesn’t really matter at the moment.

The axe was taller than me in length and the blade part is bigger than my body width.

If you wonder just why is an axe hidden behind my back, that is because there are profusely many demon race monsters in this Habuil tower.

After defeating me, the hero party will be able to break through this tower a little more easily.

Yos.h.i.+, Now that I got what I wanted, lets get out of here.

The key is not attached to the small room.

I put the axe on my back and vigorously opened the door.

The Habuil tower is a maze with complex pa.s.sages with a few small rooms like the one I was in that form the structure of each floor.

I am not so confident in my memory but as long as I search thoroughly for the stairs down to the ground, I will probably be able to get out. Inspite of being complex, in my memory this dungeon is fairly easy to map as there are no branching stairs.

As I was thinking positively when walking here and there on the iron path, I heard the sound of footsteps from the other side of the corner.

….eh. Is the hero party here already?

No, the sound is from only one person. When the hero came here, it was a three persons party. The possibility of independent action is not that high.

Being a little scared, I pulled out my axe.

Then, coming from the corner was a demon unlike me but a demon with a monster like atmosphere.

[…aah-. Thats right. Its like that, huh. Monster coming out. This is a dungeon afterall]

In my field of view is a completely red demon type monster that was letting out an intimidating growl.

I am a demon. With the appearance of a human with two horns growing on my head, a race with only profusely high strength value and the enemy is just a “demon” monster.

There is no need to talk.

[Groowll!!!]

[Here goes!!]

I used brute force to swing the axe at the monster rus.h.i.+ng towards me. Along with the feeling of cutting something, I can see the appearance of the demon being cut apart from the head in front of me.

[Guugaaa!!]

Flump- with dull striking sound of something falling on the iron floor, the demon monster fell down and disappeared.

[Fuu-….n?]

My body was giving of light. It flickered for a moment before disappearing immediately after.

That just now, was the effect right?

[Did I feel like I just leveled up?]

The question asked towards the mineral ceiling has, of course, never reached anyone and disappeared.
