Chapter 82 (1/2)

Tap tap tap tap

We ran up the long staircase.

After defeating the Skeleton Dragon, we had reached the fifth floor.

Rosuke eliminates the demons that appear one after another.

This is a dangerous place where countless demons roam.

Moreover, I have the impression that many of them are generally high-level and problematic.

”Blizzard Blossom.”

Kaede's magic freezes the 'Poison Moth' and the 'Fiery Ghost'.

Frau quickly smashes them with her hammer.

”Kyui!”

Panda, strengthened by the Mega Boost, hits a Minotaur.

The enemy was thrown against the wall and fainted from the impact.

He is not as strong as Rosuke, but Panda seems to be able to fight if he puts his mind to it.

However, he can only take on one at a time, so I can't leave him exposed for too long.

Our current level is this;

Toru 305 → 310

Kaede 315 → 335

Frau 300 → 328

I was completely outclassed.

However, thanks to my jobs and skills, I don't feel much difference.

I also have the swordsmanship technique I obtained from Mugen's grandfather.

Overall, I am still stronger.

We continued down the hallway, trusting the map, and came out into a large dome-shaped room.

”Boo-hoo!”

There was a large monster in the center of the room.

It was five meters tall, with bulging musculature and attention-grabbing red hair.

On its head was a set of thick horns and in its right hand hung an iron ball with a chain.

Great Minotaur - a superior species of minotaur.

When it saw us, it roared furiously.

boom-boom-boom-boom

”The iron ball is coming towards us, dodge it!

The Great Minotaur throws the iron ball lightly.

We managed to dodge it quickly, and split into three different directions in the room to confuse the Great Minotaur's aim.

Jarara

The iron ball is yanked back by the chain at a great speed, and as it swung in the air, it aimed at the place where Kaede was.

”Frau-san!”

”Got it!”

Frau hits the enemy with her hammer from the side.

The Great Minotaur coughed blood as it was slammed backwards against the wall.

Immediately, Kaede cut off its right arm with a wind blade.

Still, the enemy roared with exposed fangs, dripping blood.

I then buried my sword in its heart.

The terrifying-looking Great Minotaur extends its left arm toward my head.

After piercing its chest with my sword, I cut its head in half.

”Master, you have blood on your face.”

”Thank you.”

Kaede wipes my face with a handkerchief.

I am not tired yet.

I would like to aim for the surface as quickly as possible, but I don't know what kind of condition Kaede and Frau are in.

'Kaede, Frau, how are you?”

''I can still move forward.''

”We've been fighting for a long time, but I still don't feel tired.”

When you reach level 300, your physical endurance increases abruptly.

Also, the enemies that have appeared are only small fry, so there is little mental exhaustion.

Let's take a short break here.

Then we reached the third floor.

We stopped abruptly.

The road we had to follow was full of water.

I looked at the map and confirmed it.

”It looks like we'll have to follow the channel for some distance from here.”

”Is there no way around it?”

”That's what I was thinking, but it's the only way up.”

”Hey, so do we have to go in the water? There must be a monster in there.”

I'm sure there is.

This path is too long.

Besides, it is the only place that is connected to the surface, it would be crazy not to place a powerful demon here.

Then the last guardian is here.

”Panda, Rosuke, can you keep up?”

”Kyui”

”Shaa”

The two beasts shake their heads in disgust.

Apparently, water is not their forte.

Well, it's the perfect time for Sharkboy to get in on the action.

I had Panda and Rosuke re-enter the seal and brought out Sharkboy.

”Glup glup”

”Little friend, there's a mighty monster in these waters, so I'd like to ask for your help.”

”Glup!”

”Can you do it?”

Sharkboy turned his face toward us after going a little further, as if to say, ”Leave it to me.”

The water was light green.
