Arifureta Vol 2 Chapter 8 (2/2)
“Oh, for certain. Just 5 more and we will beat the record~”
“We are like, getting stronger too. That group that stayed behind has no guts.”
“Well, don’t say that. Because we are special.”
These three did not seem to question Hiyama deception. People who kept fighting while thinking they were special and got arrogant were the villains of villains. They had a huge att.i.tude compared to the group left behind at the Royal Palace. Complaints were thrown about in a haughty manner. However, they did have the ability to break through the 60 levels, so they couldn’t be stopped from their att.i.tude.
Unlike them with their boisterous att.i.tude, Kouki’s side was quiet. Accessory seems to be the guiding principle.
Without much trouble, the group was at the highest attained level of 65.
“Brace yourself! The map of this area is incomplete. We won’t know what will happen.”
Meld’s voice sounded. Kouki’s group tightened their expression and stepped into the unknown domain.
A big hall appeared after they had advanced for a while. All the members had a bad feeling somehow. That feeling proved to be true. Magic appeared in the center of the room as soon as they entered it. A 10 m magic formation pulsed with dark red energy. That was a familiar sight for them.
“N-No way…is it that guy?”
Kouki cried out while a cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The other members also had a strained expression on them.
“Seriously, that guy didn’t die?”
Ryutaro shouts while surprised. Meld responded to them with a calm voice and a stern expression.
“The origin of the demons in the dungeon is unknown. Even if you defeat it once, you will encounter it many times. Be careful! Do not forget to secure an escape route!”
So they can escape for sure if there was an emergency, Meld first priority was to issue commands to ensure an escape route. The subordinates obeyed immediately. But Kouki wanted to speak his mind.
“Meld. We are not the same as that time. I’ve become many times stronger. And won’t be defeated again! Certainly we can win!”
“He, that’s true. We won’t always lose. This is a revenge match.”
Ryutaro shouted out with a fearless smile. Meld just shrugged his shoulder like he couldn’t help it. With their current abilities they should be okay. Similarly, he now had that same smile.
The magic formation finally lights up and explodes. Their nightmare had appeared before them.
“Guugaaa!!”
The beast gave a roar and stomped the ground. A glare full of fierce intent to kill was sent to Kouki’s party by the Behemoth. In the group, there was a single girl that glared back at the monster; ignorant of the tension building up in the others.
The girl was Kaori. Unheard by anyone, Kaori with will declared to herself.
“I won’t let you take anyone else. I will overcome you and go down to him.”
Now, the fight to conquer their past began.
Translator’s Note:
Author’s note talks a little more about the dungeon. I’ll translate it later if there is any interest, but for now I’ll give a summary. He talks about how the comparison of strength in the dungeon. The behemoth is the strongest on the 65th floor but that’s just the upper level of the dungeon. Orcus went further than 100 levels that the people were aware of. Hajime had fallen in the abyss that was lower than those 100 levels. The monsters in the lower level (abyss) are much stronger than the upper levels (100 and up?).
