Chapter 23 - Dodging Pursuers
I returned to the 4th underground floor again from the garden, then I entered the 5th underground floor.
It’s supposed to be an area with lesser dragons and gargoyles when you go through it.
Dead bodies of dragons are lying around, and the treasure boxes are opened and the contents scattered around with a feeling of loneliness.
It’s not what I had knocked down, so is it k.u.miko that opened all of the treasure boxes?
“This isn’t good……” (s.h.i.+njou)
k.u.miko or Ussah, one or both of them have already overtaken me and have reached this far.
No, even if they had advanced with just the 2 of them, it’s still too early.
What k.u.miko achieved should only have been up to the 4th floor underground.
Ussah, with her warrior rank being a lower-cla.s.s teacher, should have gone up to the 6th floor underground, but because her magic rank is beginner rank as she has biased ability, it would be impossible for her to act alone.
“Is she acting in a party?” (s.h.i.+njou)
It’s possible.
I’ll pay close attention and listen carefully while I repeatedly hide.
I’m at ease because most of the monster have been cleared, but as it was from the party that has advanced ahead, I can’t be at ease as I chase after them.
“Hey hey, I’ve arrived at the 6th floor.” (s.h.i.+njou)
Eventually, after hiding and killing all of the gargoyles, then going down the stairs, I was at the 6th floor.
On the level where the ‘Ussah is trapped’ event was, the mustard dragon was squirming there.
However, there are the corpses of violet dragons here again, and the treasure chests have been emptied.
What the h.e.l.l, where did they go……as I was thinking so, I could see the intense light of magic from the previous hall, and I heard the commotion of battle.
“Haaa~!” (???)
“Yaaaa~!” (???)
There’s no doubt, it’s the shouts of Ussah and k.u.miko.
A whistle similar to a gas burner is heard, it was the sound of the dragon breathing.
In order to not be found…….
“Medium Darkness” (s.h.i.+njou)
I cast a spell of darkness.
It has the opposite effect of light spells.
Your surroundings become dark, and the stealth effect increases dramatically.
k.u.miko and Ussah, because they’re in a desperate battle with the mustard dragon, it seems they didn’t notice that I was sinking into the darkness in the corner of the dungeon.¹
Originally it was a magic to prevent yourself from being discovered by monsters by hiding in the darkness of the underground labyrinth, but I never imagined I could use it for this.
“They were in a party after all. Besides that, can they oppose 2 mustard dragons at once?” (s.h.i.+njou)
Ussah’s party is acting with Nanami’s group.
The elite group of 15 people led by Shuichi Nanami is going against 1 mustard dragon, and the other one is fighting Ussah and k.u.miko.
Shuichi Nanami set the『Large s.h.i.+eld of Holy Iron』down, which is bigger than the length of his body, and was receiving the mustard dragon’s poisonous breath, and he continued to receive fierce claw attacks from in front of him.
Five girls from the Nanami’s Special Girl Team in the back, while using an auxiliary magic to increase defensive power, they are recovering and handing out detoxification and recovery potions.
Meanwhile, there are formations of strong men with offensive power that are attacking the mustard dragon’s flank.
It’s quite considerate.
“Yaaaaeehhh!” (???)
Similar to a big-framed samurai with their hair tied in the back, Mikami Naotsugu pierced a steel spear deeply into the dragon’s flank with a shout of fighting spirit.
I see, for them to oppose a dragon, they judged that a weapon with a longer reach was needed and changed their weapons.
He is truly a man you can call unmatched.
Even though the Kendo Club abandoned their style of fighting, they have enough flexibility to skillfully manipulate long objects.
A total of 9 people with the unmatched Mikami leading them, and all athlete groups from the exercise department having steel spears, it’s quite a combat force, even in Geno-Real.
The athletic groups have the courage to confront the brute strength to break through the tough scales of the dragon.
The basic physical height of an elite athlete, I guess it works even in the dungeon.
In the『Invasion』of the 1st floor, the mustard dragon killed 1/3 of the students, but now they are fighting evenly with it.
To do so, the master cla.s.s fighter Ussah and mid-level ninja k.u.miko made a remarkable difference and they actively partic.i.p.ated.
The mustard dragon couldn’t even attack them because they were too fast.
Every time Ussah kicks its belly, there’s a sound of a shockwave and the dragon’s body leans.
k.u.miko was attacking many times with a short ninja sword, but the piercing place of it was the weak point of the dragon, the breath sac.
The movements of those 2 were already beyond normal humans.
Ussah’s impossible attacks and k.u.miko’s skillful sneak attacks were decisive, and the mustard dragon’s breath died out as it rolled into a ball.
Subsequently, as soon as they weren’t fighting, Chintara, the finis.h.i.+ng blow was dealt to the dragon of Nanami’s group.
Nanami’s group relaxes as they defeat the enemy.
However, the struggle continues for 2 people even if they have defeated it.
“Oops, my foot slipped desu~.” (Ussah)
“It’s strange, my hand also slipped.” (k.u.miko)
Even if they have beaten the mustard dragon, Ussah isn’t stopping her attacks.
Her skirt rolled up as she unleashed a high kick at k.u.miko.
In response to the powerful kick that made her long hair blow with the wind, k.u.miko unleashed a counter punch immediately.
Ussah received k.u.miko’s punch quietly, then leaped above her while her huge chest and rabbit ears shook, and dropped the heels of both of her feet with a Gaaan.²
k.u.miko, with a cool face, uses her control to repel the violent kicks, and aimed at Ussah’s flank to counter her by using her hands in a sword-like shape.
Ussah smiled as she caught k.u.miko’s sword-hand that cut through the air, I’m scared, these guys are scary.
