Chapter 18 Part2 (1/2)

Roel shouted as she swung her staff, downing the Cave Rabbit with a swift blow to its head She had taken it out with just one strike She was only Level 2 e first came here, so I understood why she was nervous then The Roel I atching was a coain, I doubted she would be scared of a little rabbit after e faced in the haunted house That's how I made sense of it, anyway

”The 2nd Floor isn't scary at all any at me with a broad smile on her face

She was so happy she hadn't noticed the bats about to attack her fro them away and into a wall The pride on her face was replaced with shock

”Woah, it's like they were bugs… Ryua, you're really really strong”

”It's a hassle to keep drawing my sword”

We passed by the grove with the spring froht down to the 3rd Floor There was one o until we found e came for As soon as we reached the 3rd Floor, the atloo the wall to help, but it was still noticeable I wondered why none of the ht

The passages were her floors, so it would probably be better location to fight Unfortunately, just like the higher floors, the treasure chests had all been emptied

”The light et around down here,” I said

”Yeah, but I' antidotes, after all”

[ Killer Tail x 3 have appeared! HP 53 ]

The scorpions appeared out of dark hole off to the side of the roo On top of that, they had giant tail that ended in what I only guessed was an extremely poisonous needle And there was three of them The cave was definitely more intense the farther down you went

They started to ht That would be a dangerous co tails Before they could spread out, I drew e arc, I cut their tails off first They cleanly disconnected froround To finish them off, I quickly cut their bodies entirely in half

[ Ryua attacked! The Killer Tails took 382,991 dae! ]

[ The Killer Tails were defeated! HP 0/53 ]

There was so about a sword that suited me well The iron sas indeed a nice blade and cut easily But I probably could have killed theotten that one Though I was promised an even better sword after the commission, so I was particularly motivated

”Oh ! A! If it were me, I would have had to run like hell fro enthusiastically

I probably went overboard cutting off their tails like that, but they were totally gross and I didn't want one to touch me

”I guess we really won't need all these antidotes after all…” Roel was taking a long look through our ite the money

I agreed with her Originally I thought all of our preparation would be useful maybe once or twice, but it looked like it was coht be a little tougher than it was turning out to be

We continued on the straight path through more wide open rooms We made it to the 4th Floor with ease, but e arrived I noticed soe presence

”Someone is here,” I said

”Huh? Maybe an adventurer was here already?”

”I don't think it's an adventurer”

”N-no? Then, who…” Roel was fidgeting next to me

I sensed so bloodlust It was coot from monsters It was definitely another huoing to co to meet them head on

[ A Killer Tail appeared! HP 53 ]

[ A Monstrous Frog appeared! HP 65 ]

Whoever they were, they would have to wait I switched my attention to the monsters that had appeared I quickly cut their heads off As we continued, we kept finding treasure chests that were already opened There was no doubt in my mind the other person had taken the and finally arrived at the ot to work

While orking, a thunderous roar sounded, and suddenly giant footsteps were stoe monster stepped into the roo like it Thearea had only one exit, so ere cornered The only way out was through the monster

[ Calamity Colossus appeared! HP 815 ]

It had the body of a rhinoceros and the head of an elephant It made the otheride open area seem small

”A Floor Monster!” Roel looked terrified

A Floor Monster I had heard that term from Gantetz back when he was a little tipsy and couldn't stop talking He had told us they preyed on adventurers who couldn't tell they were outclassed I could tell it was stronger than e faced in the cave so far, but there was no real difference between it and the monsters on the 2nd Floor of the Caverns of hell

The monster started to thrash about violently and I was afraid it was going to cause a cave in I had to get rid of this thing quickly

I took out oing to lunge forward at us, but instead it fell flat on its face with a loud noise and a cloud of dust It gave one final twitch and stopped ure behind the beast As the dust settled, I saw athere with a satisfied smile on his face and his fists in the air

”Looks like I saved ya”

I figured he was h his head was balding and his beard thinning, he still had very large muscles

”What d'ya think you're doing in here? Just two little girls like yourselves? That was pretty scary, right? Lots of adventurers think they're all tough after the 2nd Floor and decided to take this guy on I don't think I need to tell ya they ain't here no more”

”Uave the man a small bow as he came over and patted us on the head Then he moved his hands to our shoulders

”Well then, why don't ya just leave all your stuff right here A pretty small price to pay for your lives, eh?”

So that was his scam His excessive confidence and fake attitude made it pretty easy to tell

”I-I don't think we…” Roel said

”Ya don't think, what? It can't be ya don't wanna return the favor? Right?”

”There has to be so else…”

”H broadly

”We hat? What's that?”

I had no idea what he even said, and Roel's response toldto h, and I understood whatever he had said orthless Clearly that was his plan frorabbed his hand off my shoulder

”Oh? What's this now?” He looked down at his arm with a hard expression on his face
