Chapter 052 

“Donnnn!!”

What am I yelling even though it’s a surprise attack? I also thought to myself, but if I fail to activate it, I would just be ramming against it.

I would die at this speed.

Perhaps noticing my voice, the boss turned its face towards me, but it was already too late.

By the way, I also felt that Alex and the others are also looking this way, but I don’t care!

I rushed in at high speed from the side.

I see a shield visible in front of me.

Good course!

“Gue!?”

Gaan!! With a loud sound, a strong impact came through the [Scarlet Bee’s Needle].

I sprained my ankle… it hurts!

However, I was able to hit its shield directly as I aimed and was able to greatly break its balance.

I should be able to land another blow before it recovers right?

“Fu!!”

I extended my [Shadow Sword] and made a high-speed spin to the side.

I didn’t feel any resistance from my nail, but I felt like I cut something.

I can take a look to check it, but I can go one more time!

“Sei!!”

This time, I rotated vertically instead of horizontally.

Bessha! Blood splashes on my apron and face, but I didn’t care.

I also had the feeling that something had been cut this time.

I’m already a little dizzy, but can I do another shot?

“Ha!!”

I pierce my [Shadow Sword] at the large mass that I caught a glimpse of when I spinned.

I could see the ground right in front of me.

It seems that the direction of my body was horizontal after that series of movements.

With the nail stuck in it, I used my [Floating Orb] to rise up all at once.

At that time, I felt I made a just vertical cut, so it’s a great result for a bonus attack.

I took a breather when I raised my altitude to near the ceiling.

Until now, most of the enemies I fought have been defeated in one shot, so it’s my first time getting close and attacking the same opponent many times, even if it’s only for a few seconds.

I’m exhausted….

I broke its balance that much, so by this time, they should be beating it up… they aren’t.

What are they looking at?

They turned their backs on the enemy completely, even waving their hand at me.

…did I beat it?

I didn’t get any divine coins though…

Is it possible that it’s pretending to be dead and would get up from there and go on a rampage?

Is it unlikely?

No, I mean, it’s not a game, and just because it’s a boss doesn’t mean you can get drop items, but… seriously?

I’m disappointed…

I’m a bit deflated, but I should return to the party…

“Good job~…”

“You saved us there. We were overwhelmed when we went to finish it off but something went wrong… are you okay? You look horrible.”

As I approached, Alex spoke to me.

Was Mia at the back because they had failed at something?

In that case, it might have been the correct answer to rush in at once without watching the situation for a while.

“Ah~… I’m okay.”

I’m kind of dizzy.

Maybe the adrenaline was pumping from the fight just now.

Is it the backlash from that?

“I-Is that so? I felt that you were fighting from a distance. How was your side?”

“Wolves, wild boars, and more…”

“H-Hey.”

“Mm~… I’m okay… bu…”

I’m so dizzy…

◇ 

Sera sounded a little slurred and dizzy, like she was drunk, but she suddenly fell to the ground while riding her [Floating Orb] and fainted.

I couldn’t see her complexion because of the blood spurt from her enemy. Could it be that she was also injured?

I hurriedly ran over to see how she was doing, but she didn’t seem to have any injuries, and her breathing seemed fine.

“Hey! Sera!?”

I call out to her while tapping her cheek lightly, but she doesn’t respond.

“Alexio, let me see!”

Keira, who was behind, came over, so I moved to let her see closer.

I have some knowledge, but she is an expert.

I should leave it to her.

She examined her breathing and body for a few minutes, and stopped and raised her head. Was she able to find out something?

“She has broken bones on her right leg, but that’s her only injury. She’s just sleeping. I’m sure she’s just exhausted.”

……?

“She looked like she suddenly passed out… was I mistaken?”

She suddenly collapsed while we were talking…

“Children are like that. Defeating the Majin must have relieved her tension. She must’ve pushed herself hard…”

While saying that, she started treating her leg.

It must’ve been caused by that blow.

However.

“Well, if it’s not life-threatening, then that’s fine…”

Though Ojou-sama and Elena might scold me.

Chapter 051 

“Phew… hii…”

It was unexpected that there wouldn’t only be seconds, but more than two extra servings, but I managed to beat them somehow.

Though I’m drenched in blood and all kinds of things…

The crackling thing coming out of [Scarlet Bee’s Needle].

If it hits a monster, it explodes…

I was surprised because I didn’t imagine its power was to that extent.

It burst out in front of my eyes and I cried out unintentionally.

Even though I didn’t receive an attack, it hurts here and there… I want to take a bath.

And I want to keep sleeping until I wake up without being woken up.

Eating is… no.

I felt full with the smell of blood.

I need to go back to the group and…

“The boss battle!?”

Oh no.

I was desperate during the battle that I completely forgot!

I was so tired that I had no clue where my thoughts are going, but speaking of which, they were still fighting.

They were still fighting when I approached them several times to update my [Prayer]. I wonder what happened?

It shouldn’t become gory, right…?

I raised my altitude using my [Floating Orb] and looked around, but there were no shadows of any monster.

And I could see the battle still going from a distance.

Well, what should I do…

I was told to withdraw in case of emergency, but I don’t really know what’s happening from here.

Maybe I should get closer.

◇ 

“Oohh…”

Just to be sure, I went up close to the ceiling, I tried to get closer at a distance of about 50 meters while going around, but…

They’re in a bit of a mess because of something that happened.

Mia, who has some kind of skill, seems to have received damage, and is receiving treatment from Keira.

It seems that it didn’t find Ruban, and Marida, who is standing in front of Mia, as a threat, so it ignores them and focuses its attacks on Alex.

Alex held up his [Red Shield] and survived its onslaught.

He carries his shield with both hands and does not carry a weapon.

It seems a kind of… stalemate.

Even now, they are attacking from both sides, but Marida’s attack from the shield’s side is repelled with a single swing of the Majin’s shield, and Ruban’s attack from the other side hits its body, but it doesn’t look like there was damage going through because it was blocked by its armor.

…what should I do?

When I look behind them, Mia is still being treated.

It seems difficult for everyone to escape.

Mumumu….

…….!?

Is that shield, by any chance, an ordinary shield?

It’s true that the two’s attacks were parried, but that’s due to the boss’ skill and physical ability, not the effect of the shield itself.

As proof of that, even if they were sent back flying, they could immediately get up and move into action.

That means, it’s effective if I kick that shield?

After breaking its balance with a kick, swing the [Shadow Sword] around, and leave immediately.

This is it!

In that case, timing is what matters.

It would be the worst if I attacked and attacked the others together, or conversely get attacked together with the boss.

It would be nice if I could make some kind of signal, but since it’s covered with something like a helmet, I can’t tell if it has eyes or ears, but if it notices me before I attack, it would be a complete waste.

Umumu…

After watching for a while, I realized something.

First, after Alex receives the boss’s wide swing attack with his shield, the two attacked from both sides and were pushed far away.

In the meantime, Alex, who has regained his balance, blocks the attack and prevents it from pursuing the two.

Then it repeats.

There seems to be no doubt that they are struggling, but their series of cooperation buys them time until the treatment is over.

There may be some changes once Mia returns.

But the effect of [Prayer] will wear off soon, and now is the time to find an opportunity.

…should I do it now?

…yosh!

Let’s rush in at the timing of the reset.

Then I shouldn’t include them in my attack or get included in theirs.

I looked around again just in case, but I couldn’t see any monster.

And when I looked back, Alex had received the boss’ attack and the two of them had returned and kept their distance.

It’s now.

I accelerated my [Floating Orb] at once and charged.

This wind pressure… it should exceed speeds of three digits.

My [Floating Orb] updated its maximum speed record.

I activated the [Scarlet Bee’s Needle] and take a flying kick stance.

It was faster than I expected, but I managed to make it in time.

I can’t set a more precise aim anymore, but I should hit it somewhere!

Let’s go!

“Donnnn!!”

Chapter 050 

A powerful monster that appears every time a person dies in the dungeon and their corpse is absorbed.

It seems that they are called Majin in contrast to the Demon Lord outside.

Once defeated, a Majin will no longer appear, and the dungeon maintenance cost that increased due to the death of the person will also decrease.

For that reason, one would think it would be good to actively hunt it, but on top of not knowing where it will appear, it is simply strong.

A long time ago when it wasn’t widely known yet, it seems that there were frequent cases where the dungeon collapsed as a result of challenging it and being counterattacked. Continue reading →

Chapter 049 

“Hmm?”

When I was patrolling in a slightly larger circle around everyone who was taking a break, I found something strange on the opposite side of the wall from the entrance of this hall.

The kind that appears in ghost stories.

probably like, Kunekune? That’s how it looks like.

…What is that? Continue reading →

Chapter 048 

Before I could recover from the impact of his magic, we quickly stepped into the upper floors.

I’d never been to the one in Zerkis, let alone in the royal capital, but it didn’t feel special.

My companions were too strong.

However, it is the upper floors.

The shallow floors are probably about 1km square, but this upper floors seem to be about the same size as the royal capital.

It’s about 4km square more or less.

Probably a grassland divided by dirt walls, creating areas twice the size of football fields.

The shallow floors were paved or dirt, but the visibility was good.

But here, there are undulations, rocks are rolling here and there, and grass is growing underfoot.

It’s about 30 meters high, but that doesn’t mean much if you can’t fly like me.

Let’s brace ourselves.

“Sera! Use [Prayer].”

Hmphs! While I was in high spirits, an order for [Prayer] came from Alex.

I also get fired up and activate it with an “Orya!” call.

“What is this? A blessing?”

“It’s Sera’s blessing. It increases physical ability and mana. And it also has a constant recovery effect.”

As explained by Alex, [Prayer] seems to increase even mana.

Anyway, I can’t use magic, so I don’t know how much of an effect it could have, but if Ruban’s thing from earlier is magic, it might be astonishing…

“…that sounds like a demon king… ouch!?”

Hearing its effect, Luban muttered unintentionally and was beaten.

Demon Lord.

More specifically, it’s demon lord species, but it’s not like an evil big boss plotting world domination or the destruction of mankind.

It’s a special individual that appears extremely rarely among monsters.

Of course, it is strong, but what makes it more troublesome is its characteristic, which strengthens monsters and beasts within its territory regardless of their race.

For example, one wolf.

Normally, a single hunter or three ordinary villagers would be enough to defeat it, but it’s different in the territory of a demon lord species.

Even one of them is enough to inflict devastating damage on a village.

For that reason, it is necessary to deal with it as soon as possible, but its territory can even be as wide as a mountain, so the scale is too different from my [Prayer].

That will continue until the demon lord species is defeated, and since you can’t tell its difference from ordinary monsters, even if a subjugation team is formed, it will be able to escape, build a new territory in a new place, and repeat… that phenomenon called the Demon Lord Disaster, which is why people fear it as a Demon Lord.

Although its scale will change, it will appear suddenly regardless of whether there are many monsters or not, so it is also the reason why the profession of adventurer will not disappear, not only in the Alliance, but also in the western countries.

Come to think of it, these guys have defeated a demon lord species by themselves…

Demon lord species doesn’t seem to appear from the dungeon, so it seems like we would be okay unless a super strong enemy appears.

“Sera?”

It seems that the explanation and preparations had already been completed when I was in a daze.

“What we’re doing is the same as before. Sera, I ask you to search for enemies in the same way. There shouldn’t be any monsters that can fly here, but please be careful.”

“Aight~.”

“Okay. Let’s go!”

◇ 

“The surroundings are cleared up.”

I looked around to make sure there was nothing there, then floated down and reported to Ruban.

“Okay. Let’s get some rest.”

About an hour has passed since we started exploring the upper floors.

Again, the frequency is higher than on shallow floors.

There are many monsters that we encounter at once, and above all, they are strong.

We’ve fought several large wolf-like packs, but they even use cooperation.

On top of that, another group would join in the middle.

I’ve seen similar things happen in shallow floors, but at best they would all rush in at once, but these guys are different.

Despite being in a different group, they try to use decoys and go around… I don’t know if it’s smart or it’s a characteristic of their race, but although we are able to defeat them without danger with our current party, it would be dangerous if you’re not used to it.

“We defeated quite a few, but… it’s really not dropping. Is it like this?”

We’ve defeated quite a few so far, but we haven’t encountered a Big Elk, which is our target this time.

I’ve heard that it’s hard to hunt them because they often stay in groups of 2 or 3 and try to escape immediately, but what about not encountering them in the first place?

“There are times when the encounter rate is biased…but this is a little extreme. The number of monsters itself is the same as usual, but… what do you think? Should we change places?”

Discussions began as to whether to change the location, continue as is, or delve deeper.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been running and fighting, so we’re going to take a break.

I’m just floating around so far, so I have plenty of stamina, so I’ll take over the lookout.

Chapter 047 

After finishing a light meeting, we headed to the dungeon.

As expected of a famous adventurer, I could see the awe in the eyes of the adventurers who passed Ruban while we were running through the shallow floors.

When they saw the women behind him, they started drooling, they were surprised when I saw Alek following, and finally noticed me and thought, “are you serious?!”

Because I was mistaken for an undead previously, I was also given a nickname.

They call me [Floating Spirit]…

If it continues like this, wouldn’t there be a [Guardian Spirit] as well?

It would be nice if it could come out a little earlier, it’s probably strong.

As for Ruban and his companions…

First, Professor Ruban.

He’s about 180 centimeters tall, but he’s a tall, handsome guy.

He seems to be able to use magic, but for now, he fights only with a sword.

Even though he’s using a slender sword, he cuts easily through his enemies, so I’m sure it’s a named sword.

He is sure to kill the monsters with a single sword.

Next is Mia.

How tall is she?

I don’t know exactly because she’s wearing thick-soled boots, but I think she’s about 170 cm?

She’s using a short spear, but when its tip was stabbed into her enemy, it exploded.

She probably has some kind of skill as well.

She also has a hatchet on her waist, but she’s not using it.

She’s a pretty powerful big sister.

And Marida.

Although small in stature, she fights by wielding twin swords in the front, just like Mia.

Looking at her from behind, she’s so close to her enemies that it feels chilly, but seeing her defeat them without any danger shows her high level of combat skills.

Not only that, she also uses magic and supports Ruban and Mia in some places.

Her weapon range is different, but she might be a type similar to Elena.

Lastly, Keira Wimble.

The 4th daughter of Viscount Wimble, Ruban’s first companion, and it seems that he aimed to become a noble in order to marry this person.

She is a beautiful woman with long blonde hair.

Un, she’s so pretty it’s convincing to call her a noblewoman.

The other three are wearing armor, but instead of armor, she is wearing a jacket, although the material seems to be the same.

She doesn’t have a turn at the moment, but she seems to be able to use healing magic.

Alex on top of this…

No wonder I don’t have any turn.

We kept moving forward and soon we’ll reach the upper floors.

“Hmm? A herd of wild boars in front. There are many!”

Even though I was thinking a lot, I was also doing my job.

Un.

My role is not to fight, so this should be okay.

“How many?”

Ruban stopped and asked for the number, so I floated forward a little and counted.

One~, Two~, Three~…

“There’s 11.”

“Is that so…”

Ruban, who heard the number, started thinking about something.

What is it?

It’s a lot, but it shouldn’t be a big deal…

“It’s just right. We’ll show you how we fight. Alexio, please step back. Mia, Marida, let’s go!”

“Sera, come behind me.”

As I was told, I go behind Keira.

Alex also approaches and strengthens my side.

I feel like I’m being protected by something I don’t know.

And the air around me is cold.

It’s neither hot nor cold inside the dungeon, but is this… a skill?

Ruban, who saw us move as he was looking at us, turned his face forward and gave Marida a signal.

Receiving that, she strikes her twin swords and makes a sound.

The wild boars heard the sound and noticed us and rushed towards us, but…

“[Red Wave]!”

“What are they gonna do,” I thought while watching, and a red light and heat came from the front after I heard Ruban’s voice.

“What the heckkkkk!?”

I couldn’t help but scream, is this… magic!?

A wave of flames about 4-5 meters was rushing toward the boar.

Even though I kept my distance, my skin still tingles with heat.

It’s like this even with Keira’s skill…

Just as there is a word called reckless rush, the wild boars in this world will also charge at once, but they stopped in their tracks, perhaps because they were surprised by the heat or the light, or maybe both.

“[Red Shine]!”

Immediately after that, Ruban shoots magic again in pursuit… but he shoots a beam from his hand…

The emitted beam pierces the four central boars at once.

Mia and Marida attack the left side of the divided herd and kill them one by one.

The rest of the right side was hunted by Ruban alone.

…isn’t this too different from the magic I know?

Chapter 046 

“Do you know Ruban?”

It’s fine to accept the invitation to go to the upper floors, but I’ve never even been to the upper floors in Zerkis, so why? I asked.

“Ruban… is that the Professor?”

Professor Ruban. Continue reading →

Chapter 045 

“Oi! The maid over there!”

When I left the guild and was making my way to the aristocratic district where the mansion was located, I was suddenly stopped.

A lot of things happened, and I’m already quite well-known.

Being a member of House Müller as well.

Therefore, there shouldn’t be anyone in this city who would talk to me like this…

That said, I’m probably the only maid that wanders around here, so I don’t think they’ve gotten the wrong person.

When I turned around while wondering, it was the children I saw in the guild. Continue reading →

Chapter 044 

“Oh… well, it’s not a big deal.”

“Well, listen to me,” he paused for a moment and continued.

“During the first month of spring, nobles from other kingdoms come to attend the academy. Taking knights, mercenaries, and adventurers as bodyguards. Merchants would also follow them from behind. It’s hard for bandits to get their hands on too many people, and it’s even more so if you have a group of nobles by your side.” Continue reading →

Chapter 043 

It’s early and it’s already the second month of spring.

It’s warm and relaxing.

Many foreign merchants have also entered, so the city is overflowing with people, and the entire royal capital is full of energy.

Until now, during this time of year, I didn’t have the time to feel the season because I was taking care of the children who had just arrived at the orphanage and sorting out the children who had left the orphanage, so this feels quite good.

The previous undead matter has settled down and I’ve been delving into the dungeon again, so the amount of cash I have on hand has increased as well as divine coins. Continue reading →

Chapter 041

“Noisy…”

Unlike the school in the territory, this is an aristocratic academy.

It’s not just a place to study, it’s a place to learn social skills and manners.

They are not allowed to run or raise their voice.

If the teacher in charge finds out, they’ll be reprimanded. Continue reading →
