Cursed Sword Master

"Whoa, that was late. Souji."

I walked into the ground floor lobby of Zatil's tower, and it was Thor who put his hand up against me and approached me, hardening himself into leather gear.

From behind it, Ari and Frey also follow with a smile. I'm kind of annoyed that its positional relationship sounds like Tolharem, so I decide to ignore Tol for now and speak up to Frey.

"Good morning, Mr. Frey. I just stopped by the Adventurer Alliance to thank Al again."

"Oh well! Looks like Al's guys are happy they need him these days. Sounds like fun. I thank Lord Fujinomiya for introducing me to a good job."

Well, it was a story that was quite beneficial to me about Al, so I can't help but be so grateful. Because thanks to Al, Mr. Will was able to launch the Adventurer Alliance so quickly.

"That's right. This is the guild card. Register all of you when you cut out your exploration today. I have permission to pre-register with Will.

After tomorrow, in some cases, it may become crowded and await registration. "

"Normally, I'll just leave what you've ignored me for now, but is that what it means?

"Shit!

Except for Thor, please register after exploring today. "

"Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Why are you anything but me! I'll sign up, too. Say yes!"

"Then don't say it. You rear charge!

"What the hell is that? I mean, aren't you tough on me? You."

"It's obvious because you're tough"

"Leah, fill it up. You mean Saw."

"Yes, I think Mr. Soujiro is a hundred times more rear filled than Mr. Thor in the public."

I'll pretend that cherry blossoms and Sistina are behind me talking about something right there, but I can't hear you.

"Souzillow. Don't play forever. Hurry up."

"Oops, sorry, Mr. Hotaru. Shall we go then?"

"Sparkle! Souji is perfect for his master."

That guy's been banned from hot springs for a while.

Patience the urge of Mr. Hotaru, who is hungry for battle, to say it back, and look for the door of the Zatil tower one tier.

"Ah."

"Sounds like an Adventurer Alliance official."

Looking for the door and looking around the lobby, someone believed to be an Adventurer Alliance official was responding to questions as he handed out handmade flyers to the Seekers.

It seems that the crowd is becoming quite crowded and the level of interest of the searchers is disturbing. Tomorrow's guild could be a big day if this looks like it.

Yeah, nodding and searching again for doors, but Zachir's tower is also super high above the selective tower, and the highest floor ever reached is 83. The total number of doors in the lobby is 83 because of the 83 layers. It seems to be in some order, but it's hard to find it without knowing anything.

"It's the first level, so it's probably the first step, right, Sistina?"

"Right. I think it's probably a door to the lower echelons because that neighborhood seems to have a lot of people in and out."

"I see. All right, let's go"

One soldier, apparently sent by Lord Fresberg, stands ahead of him as he walks toward a door that looks like a tier.

He was also in Raytalk, but he would be the one to lead contact personnel and explorers to the right door to be able to contact the lord when something happened.

"Where will the door to the first tier be?

"Then that's where the bills stand. Two floors to the left from there, three floors around, and the second from that door up there."

"Right there. Thank you."

When I bow my head to the soldier, I head straight to the door on one level. I see skinny men in the lobby, wrapped in brown robes, talking to the Seeker on the road.

"What is that doing?

"... that's a Holy Tower missionary"

It was no surprise Ari had returned the answer to my query, which he somehow shrugged.

"Santa Claus?

"Yes, this is a religious group trying to spread the doctrine that 'towers must not be crusaded because they are converting the world's impurities into demons'.

I think Aaron's tower was a political community... "

Earli doesn't seem to like religious groups very much. The expression is bitter. I don't have a very good image of religion because there were many religions that glorified human rights even to the bad guys.

What a good story to hear about the case of a group of fanatics. I personally wonder if it means that if humans stop thinking for themselves, they will stop doing busy things.

I also know by my head that there are people in the world who say that they have been saved by religion.

"Souji. Let's get out of here before we get tangled."

I have to agree with Thor all this time. I snorted back and knocked the door to the first tier early.

"Now, let's get you to the three of us until we get through the first tier. You just said provisional license exam, so to speak.

Souzillo and the others will be fine. "

Mr. Hotaru told Frey and the others that he would stop when he entered the first tier and moved a little so as not to get in the way of the subsequent one.

"Of course I don't mind."

"Yes. Me too."

"Cherry blossoms are good too. I'd love to see them finish."

"Oh, I don't mind you."

The Freys nod at each other as the three of them look at each other, gripping each weapon.

"We'll be there in no time. But the enemy who is as close as possible without avoiding the enemy shall be defeated."

"" "Yes" "

I'm really sorry to hear from the three of you. It would be Mr. Hotaru's human virtue.

"Mr. Frey. As I said before, it's Frey's job to guide the enemy."

"Uhm. I know, Lord Fujinomiya. I've been training myself ever since."

Having said that, Frey shook his ears tingly as he closed his eyes and slightly lifted his flat ear.

"... between two over here, one over there, and the central hierarchy lord... the encounter rate is higher going from here"

"Copy that. It's from here, then."

"Let's go"

The three of them walk out, choosing one path without getting lost. Hotaru, who saw it, has a satisfying grin. Perhaps Hotaru's sign perception concludes the same.

What Frey has now done is make use of the excellent hearing of the Heiyu clan as an enemy. In other words, it is an out-of-skills skill that should be called acoustic opponent.

"Frey's hearing is pretty good."

Mr. Hotaru shrugs as he walks a little behind the three who proceed carefully.

"I was surprised when I heard that, too. The whole clan has enough hearing to cover one village."

"It's ironic that the power was too great to use it the other way around."

The three of them have up to four levels of experience and have more combat experience and are acoustically opposed to the other two. Earli, who is in charge of recovering to the midline ahead of Frey, is forming a formation called Thor in the rear guard.

It would be an unmistakable formation to proceed while protecting the recoverer Ari. Fortunately, very little trapping has been reported in the dungeon called this tower, so it can be said that very little bandit skill is required.

"It's about time..."

I can hear Mr. Hotaru whining and almost at the same time a deafening noise called Gishaaa.

"Tower Goblin Knuckle (1 tier) Rank: H"

"Tower Goblin Club (1 tier) Rank: G"

Whoa! Goblin out. In my image on Earth, it's the one in the big blurry clothes with the green nose, but it's closer to feeling like a hungry ghost or ghoul than that. The one whose famous novel stole the ring of the one that was made into the film looks just like it.

Apparently, the appraisal name changes depending on your gear and how you fight it. This one's a goblin with bare hands and a stick... well, if you say goblin, it's supposed to be a slime and a good battle as the weakest demon, so there won't be a problem.

"Let's go! Frey's on the right, I'm on the left, Early's on the rear alert.

Thor runs past Earli as he skips instructions to Goblin with a stick. One step before that, Frey heads to his bareback goblin with two small swords resting on him.

Earli seems to turn to backward support this time with Rapier in place. Quite a smooth collaboration, it would be an achievement because the three of us have been discussing how to stay and fight at the same inn this past week.

It was almost at the same time that the two men who went up to the avant-garde made contact with Goblin, because Thor's movements were so fast that he didn't just say he was a lightweight swordsman.

"Huh!"

When Frey bounces back the right calf nail shake of the bare gob with his left hand armor, he puts his fist in his face with his right hand armor on the disfigured bare gob. Frey's armor is painful to watch because it has thorns on his fist area for fighting.

"Gaa."

But Frey flashed his little sword on his left hand to the neck of an empty bare-handed gob, regardless of the goblin raising his painful voice.

The battle then ends with Thor slashing his neck off from behind the disfigured stick Gob, who similarly flushed the stick Gob's stick with a long sword.

The Freys quickly pick up the demonic stone dropped by Goblin and put it in the porch and immediately follow Frey's acoustic opponent to start moving.

"Two Wolfe Demons Ahead"

"Copy that. Then Frey will ask for the rear next. Ari is avant-garde with me."

"I understand."

"Okay."

Then turn around the corner of Frey's enemy street and meet two Tower Wolves.

"Tower Wolf (1 layer) Rank: H"

"Tower Wolf (1 layer) Rank: G"

Next time I ran out were Ari and Thor. Thor starts by standing around with the whole thing and not keeping his Wolf opponent at a distance.

Earli rolls out Rapier's sharp thrust over and over again while maintaining a medium distance and takes Wolf's foot little by little. Eventually Wolf attempts a triangle jump and jumps to the wall to take Ari's blind spot, as if he had cut the paralysis. But the damage to Ari's leg accumulated in the attack falls off balance and falls to the floor without absorbing his momentum. Don't miss it there. Earli burst through Wolf's eyebrows with a rapier.

Shortly afterwards, Thor, who was hunting down Wolf with sword moves, also finished the second battle by holding back. I'd say they were all unsafe fights.

It seems that replacing the fighting personnel was also a favorable opponent from each weapon and the way it was fought.

"You don't seem to have a problem. None of the three of us are lost in the movement. Having endured this week's rubbish seems to be able to exert the movement I have acquired well"

"Right. Looks like Hoo and Ari can handle this in no hurry, even if they're close."

Hotaru and Cherry Blossom were right. After that, the three of them perilously annihilated all the demons they encountered, and the Goblin Fighter (rank F), the one tier lord, was also knocking their hands out with only three of them.

"All right. You can give me a point if you want."

Three expressions stain with joy at the words hung from Mr. Hotaru as he ascends the stairs to the two levels.

"The three of us will have to work together until we get to the hierarchy where demons come out with magic or attribute attacks ahead, or demons that use special abilities like Hyde Bear.

However, if you are going to the hierarchy where there are demons like the one I mentioned earlier, refrain from refreshing your gear until you can take action. Soujiro will attack the demons on the hierarchy ahead of time, so the information will be dropped later.

If you don't want to die, don't step into the upper echelons on your own. "

"You mean after saving as much money as you can go with your current gear and being fully experienced and equipped"

"If it's just Thor, you can keep going up there."

"I'm not going! I believe in my master's words more than I do in Souji. If the master tells you not to go, there's no way you're going!

Yeah, I'll just give him credit for trying to keep Mr. Hotaru's words right.

"Don't forget that word. I worked out for you, but if you die soon, our efforts will be wasted."

"Yes ~ yes. Then passing the provisional license exam means giving a gift to three people!

Sakura takes out three bowls of gold prepared by Mr. Lüstilla from his nostalgia and gives them to three people.

"Huh? Isn't this... the same thing that Lord Fujinomiya and the others are wearing?

"Yes. That's right, Mr. Frey. We asked a technician named Lustilla to develop a new piece of equipment."

"The impact-resistant demon copper is planted inside, so I don't think he's going to let his consciousness fly even if he hits his head slightly."

I spent every week facing my master and we were all talking about how as a master company I should reward the three hard-working people for something more than I had decided to make them look great today. But it's easier to step into a dangerous place to give you equipment that doesn't deserve much. But I ordered an extra three from Mr. Lüstilla that this bowl of gold would be just fine for the three of us now.

"Wait a minute, please. Did you just say that Demon Copper is planting it?

Earli asks as she strokes roughly the pot gold she receives.

"I said... was something wrong? That shouldn't affect Thor either."

Thor as a lightweight swordsman becomes weak as soon as he wears metal gear. However, there was no effect on the metal about the clasp, so there should have been no problem with the metal pieces planted in the bowl metal.

"No... because I thought the equipment we attributed to the demon material was a very unreachable amount of money for our money, even in this size."

"Oh! Well... but it's one big piece of gold, so you don't have to worry about it."

"... Lord Fujinomiya. We've never even had a big gold coin?

I see... if it's worth a million yen in Japanese yen, that's the amount you'll get. In addition to the fact that I have a lot of money on hand, my sense of money may be shifting a bit due to the fact that it doesn't look like a Japanese yen. Let's be a little careful.

"It is also a celebration of the growth of the disciples, and I urge you not to hesitate to accept it because it is a life-protecting object. If you can help me, I'll ask you to help me."

Well, technically, he's not my apprentice, but Mr. Hotaru, Sakura, Sistina's apprentice, but he must be forgiven for looking a little glorious around there.

"If that's what you mean, I understand. It was tough on us in the form of a pushing disciple, but I will never forget the thanks for your enthusiastic guidance. Please don't hesitate to say anything at any time."

That's what Earli wraps around the bowl of gold. Pot gold suits the skinny body well.

"Hmm. I and others owe more than Earli. That's all I have to give back with my life. I will not say no to 'anything' if Lord Fujinomiya asks me to. I want you to say no whenever you can."

Roll the bowl gold while Frey adjusts the position of the flat ear. Most of it hides in my hair and flat ears, but my face still looks tight. It's the sad sex of a man to get a little carried away by that ridiculous face and his delusions about the erotic things that Frey would probably have included in "What Things".

"Well... it was definitely the masters who brought us so far that we couldn't even break through a hierarchy until just a little while ago. That means you've opened up our lives without exaggeration or anything.

The fact that you saved your life in Raytalk is also a big thank you, but you can't be more grateful that you gave me the power to fight in the tower. If you need anything, I swear I'll help you, whatever it is. "

Knock, Thor wrapped around a bowl of gold came to look like Lew from Street O Weiter II. What's a little bit like... I thought it was a little cool or something?

And what Thor feels is quite profound. To say that you have gained the strength to fight in the tower means that you can protect yourself, which of course leads to an increase in your income. If you earn more, your standard of living will rise. If the standard of living rises, we may be able to afford it and live the way we want to in the way we want.

That's exactly what I got for the future.

It would be a value because strength is this world that leads to instant income.

"Let's not hesitate to ask for it then. Experience a little more battles between the two levels today. Don't push it."

"Then, before the sun sets, we shall cut it up and meet in the lobby. I mean go straight to the guild and register."

The three of them snorted silently and disappeared into the back of the second tier. I haven't confirmed the enemies of the second tier yet, but if you look at the battle of the first tier, you'll have no problem up to the second tier. I don't think Mr. Hotaru's judgment is wrong, either.

"Well, shall we go too? Let's keep the goal around five levels for today."

"Are you serious? Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to go in such a hurry to relax?

It's nice to be able to fight with a knife, but it's not like I want a critical battle. It's just enough for me to be able to afford an extra demon opponent.

"It's Souzillo. You can't say you got better gear and stronger as much as you trained a little. In the end, it takes a wide variety of combat experiences. You don't want to fight like that again, do you?

"... right. I don't think I want to fight like that. But I don't want to impose it."

"All right, all right. Let's do this, then. If there were demons that would struggle with the demons they met, they wouldn't go up there until they could easily defeat them."

"Yeah, okay. So let's go."

We do need combat experience, and Mr Hotaru's proposal would be reasonable as a compromise.

"All right, so let's move on to the two levels with cherry blossom sign detection."

"Ha ha! I'll go then. Let's start over here."

Proceed on two levels with a cherry blossom lead.

Cherry blossoms, Sistina, me and Mr. Hotaru are in order. Cherry Blossoms take the lead when in charge of the opponent, and if they meet the opponent, move to a guerrilla. Sistina comes forward, becomes a wall, and me and Mr. Hotaru will be the attackers, but Mr. Hotaru will be in charge of the rear alert.

When Hotaru is in charge of the enemy, Sistina, Hotaru, me, and Cherry Blossom are scheduled to be rearranged.

"I'll be right there ~. It's a bit of a quick system, so let's settle down, Master Soo."

"Copy that!"

The cherry blossoms, who looked back for a moment and smiled, disappear from sight the next moment. and, at the same time, you can hear the ucauca and the tall squeal from the back of the aisle.

"Tower Monkey (2 Layers) Rank: G"

"Tower Monkey (2 Layers) Rank: G"

"Tower Monkey (2 Layers) Rank: H"

Apparently a monkey-shaped demon. He's about twice the size of a nihonzal, and his blood-running eyes and sharp hook nails are noticeable. It stirs my fear when I see him moving in 3D while kicking walls and ceilings on top.

But with three quick moving opponents, Sistina alone is a tough wall player. Sistina would be in danger if I seemed to freak out and couldn't move. You can't just do that as a man.

"Sistina! We have three opponents. We'll keep them together. Mr. Hotaru, please keep the cherry blossoms under control."

"Yes!"

Sistina's the only one who heard a response, but I don't care. Empathy has led to acceptance.

When I pulled out the sunflower and the flash slash, I kicked the right wall and jumped at me. I took the monkey hook claw with the flash slash...

"Whoa!

Wiggy!

I raise my voice unexpectedly that the blow I intend to take killed off the monkey's hook nail lightly. What a slashing flavor. Slash correction (pole) isn't Dada, if you suck, you might be able to slay better than Aoi.

"Hey!"

Sistina, who is wielding a magical amputation a little further away, is also exceptionally good at that move. The performance of the magic amputation itself will be due to the axe hammer technique worn by Sistina because it is only magically enhanced and the function of attribute granting is not used now.

Sistina bounced off the two monkeys she attacked with a hammer and slaughtered them with an axe.

Didn't go deep enough to kill the slaughtered monkey instantly, but he stabbed the depressed monkey calmly on the floor with a spear section.

I also jumped my nails, held my arm down, and tried to pack a pause to finish off the monkey I call, and in empathy, Mr. Hotaru gave me instructions that I didn't need them, so I stopped my leg without solving the setup.

Fluorescent Blade Flow: Light Spike

And, at the same time, Mr. Hotaru's voice sounded and the light pierced the monkey's brow.

"... Huh?

The light seems to have had sufficient killing power, and the monkey will not be long before it screams and is absorbed into the tower.

I have a lot to say about the current attack, but for one thing, one more thing. When I thought, Kunai stabbed me between the eyebrows of monkeys who had been bouncing off and disfigured by Sistina. The battle came with it.

All three of them left their magic stones to make sure they disappeared, and then I turn back to Mr. Hotaru, who is behind me.

"Mr. Hotaru! I can magically attack you now!

"Mm-hmm. If you learn cherry magic and make it easy to imagine magic, and combine it with your own swordsmanship, it will improve the ease of use. I just wanted to try it in action.

I'm sorry, Souzillo. It may have taken the form of a traversal of your prey. "

"He said I don't mind at all. I could feel the new sword slashing taste, too. I couldn't use the sunflower for you, so the sunflower's a little stubborn."

"Kuku... I don't care"

"No, no, no! I don't care! Don't stand in my way, Mountain Monkey!

Looking down pleasantly at the golden sunflower, Mr. Huo nods satisfactorily and gives instructions to go next to Cherry Blossom and Sistina, who have recovered the Demon Stone.

In the end it reaches between the two tiers of the Lord without any struggle in all the subsequent battles. Keep going into battle. The two-tier Lord was the superior species demon of Tower Monkey.

"Tower Kong (2 layers) Rank: G"

The size went from nihonzar to gorilla and the thickened body seems to be gaining power, but for that matter there was no agile movement like a monkey.

One way or the other, the power type makes our party easier to fight, so Sistina picked up the tage and knocked it down crisply with my two knife daughters and me.

Momentum pushed us into the three tiers, and we ended up out of the tower as we entered the six tiers without a struggling struggle, as Hotaru put it.

"Souzillo and Sistina were both calm and good moves"

"Thank you. I still think there's a lot of relief from having good gear ready."

"The attack power of a single blow has definitely increased, and I wonder if Cherry Blossom and Hotaru's medium and long range coverage is quite significant"

Throwing attacks such as Hotaru, Cherry Blossom Magic and Kunai were a melee. They were successful in giving us considerable variation in the way we fought.

As a result, even narrow corridors can no longer afford combat power, and the combat time has been reduced, and I think that with this, we have been able to fight without losing any physical or mental room.

"It's just the right time in time."

Sistina told me and when I looked at the sky, it certainly almost took the sun long enough to lean into the time of dusk.

Jumping off six levels and landing outside the tower, we headed back to the lobby pointing out the reflections of today's battle.
