Yaha〜!
Well then, brother? This is the moment of truth?
After all, an enemy which is impossible to defeat however you think of it……is in front of you, you know?
ーーIt’s the so called, boss fight from the start Honestly, the one’s na like that right?
But, this time it’s different, it’s an individual name
I will say this honestly, when I also used【Appraisal Eyes】, I was disgusted
I mean, that’s impossible
Why in a lower floor (It’s a lower floor, probably?), is soht
But, un, it can’t be helped
ーーafter all, it’s the Interstice Labyrinth Whatever tsukkomi it is, it wouldn’t have an effect
Well then, brother? Both of us……what should we do? What will happen to us?
Well, yeah, as you have noticed……the enemy this time is bad Super bad
Well, that should really be the case
I also said it earlier, but……I mean, even if there isn’t【Appraisal Eyes】, you can tell from how it lookedーーit’s the hound of hell, Cerberus
To the gentleure it out even with that, I’ll explain
This level of demon……in the first place, they wouldn’t appear in the human world
The ones that appear in ies, it’s that kind of monster And compared to thatーー
ーーthe Demon Lord(LOL) in the land above Just like that, well, so like that
Un, I think you kno bad it is already
And then, it’s head isn’t stupid too, it understands the safety area, and even if we attacked with long-range from here, it escapes very quickly
It observes us from far away, and the instance that we stepped outside, we’ll be devoured and killed in that instant
And its speed, it’s ridiculous you know? Somehow, its max speed exceeds the speed of sound
The speed of sound yo……speed of sound?
Explaining it to people ouldn’t get it, just like a fighter jet, well, it’s that level Well, yeah, explaining that to people who didn’t coh (lol)
I saw s with【Past Peek】, but to defeat this……it would be out of the question unless you bring the self-defense forces
Maybe, if it was quick-fired with Tomahawk Missiles, that should do it
Well, leaving the jokes aside, to defeat this, an adventurer who is oven level 500 that wields a God-killer weapon, grouping with others, somehow……it’s about that
By the way, I’m solo-play
That’s why, I’ my special Ultra-C to escape this floor
Even if I did it properly, it’s a broken game That’s why, I’ll run away seriously Maybe, 「Too bad!! My adventure had ended with this!!」, the possibility of so isn’t zero Un
Even though I said that, well, I have a chance of running away After all, it’s Ultra-C you know?
……but, it’s probably impossible for brother〜
At least, I’ll teach you the exit of this floor
It’s the end to the south It looks like, the exit, it can be completely said with this whole labyrinth, but it’s placed in a place that is easy to find out
And
It’s the safety area as soon as the door opened So you can die of hunger if you want, or et devoured and killed if you want……that’s about it
And, with that……well then, cheerfully, let’s go〜〜〜〜!!
If, I was able to write the next volume
And furthermore, if brother can see that……I will respect from the bottom of my heart the brother that survived from this jaws of death!
†
A dome-shaped space with a radius of about one kilometer
Junpei was there
Inside the labyrinth, it is unknohat natural phenoust of wind spreads waves on the water surface, he was able to see the grass rippling
Right now, behind Junpei was the door to the third floor from the second floor
The place where he is staying was a safety area that was enveloped by silver particles……or so it was
ーーand
In a distance of about twenty htthat was easily four meters before him
Three heads Each of theh to shole human
Potari, Potari, drool drooping continuously
Sharp canines that were long enough as survival knives were lined up, eyes filled with hostility, were gazing towards hi for meat
Junpei checked the monster before him with【Appraisal Eyes】
【Cerberus】
Danger Specification ▼ ▼ ▼ Mythology Class (Lower)
Characteristics▼ ▼ ▼ In thetold to be the son of Typhon and Echidna Also, often called as the Hound of Hades, it is well known as the Hound of hell It has the intelligence of about a human, but it cannot talk human words It is a typical attack style of brute physical attacks, and what’s noteworthy about it is the power of its bite attack with its sharp canines That one attack, can even h armors that is made with Orihalcon And also, its thick fur and fat, will not let a norh And furthermore, its speed reaches the speed of sound, and it can run with a baffling variety of variations in speed Because it is a huge spirit mass, it almost never appears in the human world, but if it does, the leaders of the countries will have great worries for its counterry for blood and meat in the Interstice Labyrinth
After looking at that, one of the heads of the gigantic dogーーhe met his eyes with it
「Long-ranged attacks have no effects And this has……unlike the No Life King’s……roundabout ability It only pushes with brute force……it’s that type……of orthodox power fighter……」
Junpei fell down as if he lost his strength on his waist
He sat down in his place, hunched, and trembled
「……」
His treer
PikuPiku, his backfor a little, and heーーstarted to laugh while hugging his stomach
「Hahaha, kuhaha!」
So seems to be ridiculous, he rolled around the safety area while he hugged his stomach
「What the heck is danger rank y class? I haven’t heard of that damn rank? I dunno I really don’t know〜」
And, he wiped his laugh tears with his left hand’s little finger
「I mean, for it to be boss-class……the experience points and drop iteht? On top of that, the opponent is a doggy that rushes headlong……yosh, yosh, luck’s on my side……luck is on my side! I can do it! With this, I can do it! Finally……I finally saw the light that can surpass this place!」
And there, Junpei suddenly kept out his laughing voice, and stiffens his expression
「The probleainst that Cerberus so or not And……if I can do that with my own hands, if I have the resolution……or not」
He gazed at his own left hand, and blatantly scowled
ーーbut, to not do that……I will absolutely have no ways to kill it
And, he shook his head sidewards, and made a do or die expression
ーーit isn’t whether I can do it or not right? If I won’t do(kill) it……I’et done(killed)! In the first place, why the heck did you eat the ht? Froht?
The handgun that he had placed in his waistーーhe confir over its holster
Andーーfrom the safety area, he took one step out
At the same time Junpei walked one step forward, Cerberus lowered its body slowly
A fantastical beast, its back leg’s muscles contracts
At a blink of an eye, or maybe, less time than that
Leaving behind the sounds, with speed that is enough to be told as teleportation, the gigantic ed towards Junpei
It looks like the three-headed giant dog had reached its top speed instantly
To its proof, Pan, a dry sound echoed throughout the grassland
It was a sound that was siunshot
That was the sign of exceeding the speed of sound, for exa of a whip, it was a sound that is released when it is pulled strongly
Generally said as the sound that made by shockwaves
A battle that had exceeded the speed of soundーーthere, Junpei had a grin on his face
ーーI can see it!!
The path where the doggy cohtforward h barely……I can see it
「This is the evasion efficiency 1390……!!」
Literally, the result of placing all level-up bonuses, he, with only that point, gained the ability that can coainst the monster before him
One of its three heads
Large opened jawsーーas if to s him whole from the head, it closed in
Five meters, three meters, one meter, fifty centimeters
Inside its jaws, sharp canines that have blade length of survival knives were lined up
When he could already feel its war drool, Junpei moved
As if he was a matador, he stepped to his side and twisted his body
Andーーhe passed through the side of the giant dog’s straight path
A sharp pain ran from his shoulder side
Looking at it, the tattered clothes were torn, and froed flesh for thirty centimeters, blood overflowed continuously
「It’s my best clothes……what the heck did you do…… Well, with only this status, after all, continuing to dodge isーーnot going to be easy huh……」
“Anyways……”, Junpei gripped his fists
ーーit’s possible……with this……it’s possible! I can see through its attack……I had cleared that hurdle……!! The only thing left……if I can dodge a fatal dae once……the requirements will be all complete……! Remains is……if I could do it or not……!!
On the other hand, Cerberus seems to be surprised
Normally, whoever it is, with its speed and canines, they would not be able to do anything
It probably had the confidence of the absolute strong
And to think that it’s own charge……was dodged by a human child
To the too iant dog slides its feet to the ground, and decreased the speed of its charge
Zuzazaza……! Together with a resonating explosive sound, Cerberus caain
ーーdistance between them, about thirty meters
As if to provoke it, Junpei beckoned towards Cerberus
「Co it on! With the next one, it will be your end!」
And, Cerberus that faced towards Junpei, took a very deep breath, andーーroared
Or maybeーーthat was the level of roar that can be called as an explosion
Low heavy sounds that echoes even to the bottom of his stomach The atmosphere trembles, his skin was covered with bubbles
And in the next instance, this time, Junpei’s eyes widened
ーーmy body……wouldn’t move
In reality, with the situation of standing in his place, even his finger wouldn’t flinch
Junpei who got in a panic, activated【Appraisal Eyes】, and checked his current condition
The reason……was simple
That, was the effect of the skill Cerberus had
【Dead Howling (Magical Beast’s Roar】
Skill Rank ▼ ▼ ▼ National Treasure Class
Characteristics ▼ ▼ ▼ The roar released by the King of the Magical Beasts infused with h the eardruoverns fear, and et’s nervous system temporarily, and literally e level difference is needed to activate with decent effects
“Well……”, Junpei thought
ーーI can’t move……this is unexpected To think that【All Status Ailments Resistance】wouldn’t workーー
Because the【Dead Howling (Magical Beast’s Roar)】was effective, confir than it was, Cerberus drooped its eyes
Andーーit started walking towards me slowly
With body height of a clear four th that was probably htーーDosun, Dosun, it approached with very heavy steps
ーーmove, move, move……!!
To his hands and feet, Junpei’s brain sends commands, but there was a confusion with his nervous systeh to below his head
One step, and another step, the giant dog slurped with its tongue while approaching
Re, ten meters
ーーeven for once, even for a few seconds……, please move!!
Re, five meters
ーーwhy the hell, for what the heck of a reason did I eat that rottenhere……nothing will happen!!
Re, three meters
One head of the giant dog opened its mouth widely
Even so, his body didn’t flinch, it wouldn’t move
Instead, an iripped his heart, or
That was, the clear vision to the inescapable death, which was similar to fear
He closed and opened his mouth
It looks like, from the top of his neck can move
To the fear that crawls throughout his bodyーーJunpei instinctively let out a voice
「a……!」
Ahead of the re that materialized death closed in
Thein
At that instant, in the back of Junpei’s mind, his past memoriesーーthey appeared like a flashback
He re and carefree That when they were a child, he was alith Noriko
That during their elementary days, he saved her, and patted her head
After they entered middle school……their positions have shi+fted when he noticed it……and always, for all the time, that she worried about him
Cerberus approached further
And there, inside Junpei’s memories, the last appearance of Noriko was shown to the back of his head
『Ne〜, you know? Being kind is……ーーwith a badwithout salvationーーis only stupidity you know?』
“Ahh”, Junpei nodded a little from with only above his head
「That’s right Noriko……you are correct Being kind is……only stupidity without salvation It is very siht punch!! It’s only so that simple!!」
And, he continued
「That’s right, I will for sure……Noriko……Kido……everyone of thee them to chunks of meat!!」
The【Dead Howling(Magic Beast’s Roar】, by affecting the brain that governs fear directly, it shows its effects
“If it’s like that……”, Junpei largely opened his th
ーーa shock treatue’s pain……how about it?
Gachin, while sticking out his tongue, he closed his teeth with full strength
Buchari……, together with that disgusting feeling, blood overflowed inside his mouth
With his tongue being almost torn off by half, to its extreme pain, he shouted without any voices
But, even so, without caring about Junpei’s situation, Cerberus did not stop
