The Princess Army (Princess Knights), led by Rafah Southern Doll, was currently challenging an 18-story offensive.

A little over two months after I started my dungeon offensive.

Nevertheless, reaching the second half of the middle tier, the 18th tier, is an unusual fast advance in the Dungeon's strategy party.

One of those factors would be the high combat ability of individual party members.

These are the two people currently holding the front line. He was the mightiest priest and soldier, the famous Gilberto Einzac, and the most powerful and famous Ornes Gregory of all time.

"Fufu!

Gilbert waves a mace with sacred powers. Shortly afterwards, the orc, several times the size of a man, was blown into the sky while bending his body into a crook.

"Husband, don't blow it like that."

With that said, Ornes kicks the surrounding trees and jumps into the air. I wondered if the big tree had broken with an oak kick, and it was circling behind the oak that had been launched with one jump.

Come on, it's over.

Put your hands together and hit the back of the oak. The orc that was thrown down on the ground looked like a minch with the impact.

There was an overwhelming violence, a sight of giant monsters controlling 18 levels with just force moves.

"Yes, one chop up."

Behind the shy Ornes were Mill Gandak and Mia Rhine.

Mill waves his hand down toward the giant beast that walks toward him.

Magic Sword Dance Expansion, Sixth Sword ─ Guiltless Sword

A huge sword suddenly appeared in the air and was swinging down as Mill's hand moved. Rather than slashing, crushing is the right tragedy.

The Giant Beast was crushed by Mill's sword, and only flesh pieces and blood splashes spread on the ground.

I'm coming too.

Along with a breathtaking voice, the bow and strings are violently squeaking. Mia drops her hips and squeezes her bow to the fullest.

"Crossbow Flash"

The arrow that was fired looked like a ray of light.

If you think the line of light was fired at divine speed, everything in its orbit disappears. All that remained were empty holes in the middle of the giant tree sea and traces of the ground that had been decimated.

For the time being, I think we're done here.

Rayfa murmured while wearing her arms in a boring manner.

As she murmured, the surrounding monsters were being cleaned up.

The boss has already been defeated in this hierarchy, so all you have to do is break through the boss and find the entrance to the next hierarchy.

Rayfa talks to Limna, who was waiting next door.

"I wonder if we can find a door to the next level yet."

"Hmm, the rim is working hard too. I can't find it at all ~"

"I know you can't find it, so first stop talking like that."

"Damn, Rimrim, you're talking normally. It's a heartless way to talk, Rimrim. I'm getting sad."

"That's enough. You shut up."

While listening to Limna's sweet voice, Reifa sighed.

Limna usually drives as usual in this state, but it feels like it's sticking to her nose.

That's because I can hardly find a boss room on this level.

Three days had passed since Rayfah and the princess' army (Princess Knights) came to the 18th floor.

I was able to crush the inner boss on the second day of exploration, and I was told that I could break through this hierarchy smoothly, but after a full day, there was no appreciable progress.

I'm not bothering the monsters that come out.

For this party of contestants from all over the world, 18 tiers of enemies could be dealt with without a problem.

I just can't find the boss's room. That's all it took me so long.

Mapping is a skill that can record a kilometer of the surrounding area and where it passes.

The point is, if we don't get within a kilometer of the boss room, we can't find the boss room.

If we can detect signs of distant monsters, like the bandit Notre Asron, we will be able to easily discover the boss's room by finding his presence.

However, it is not suitable for Limna on the way wearing enemy detection arts.

Instead, Limna had the advantage of remembering a variety of arts due to the influence of copying other skills, but it still made her think she wanted a notebook.

Rayfa bites her nails in the present state that it's not going to work. It was Gilbert who spoke to her like that.

Well, young lady. Don't be so impatient. "

"Can this situation be kept quiet? Sophie and the others are pursuing a dungeon strategy while we step on it."

Information that Sophie had entered the notebooks' party was one of the reasons for Rayfah's rush.

It was Reifa himself who kicked Sophie out of The Princess' Army. Sophie, who was an attendant, was easily driven out because of his uselessness.

If the opponent completes the dungeon strategy before himself, it's just a laugh.

It means that I made the wrong decision about not being able to use it.

There was no way Rayfah could forgive the pride of negating her own decision.

"When she leaves me, she gets in my way. She's a really useless kid."

Rayfa was exhaling a curse with an incredible appearance.

However, it is an elderly Gilbert who has passed through thousands of Shura grounds. Speak calmly to the distracted princess.

"Indeed, Sophie and the others will easily break through the" Princess's Army (Princess Knights) "stratum once. But dungeon domination is a feat that no one has yet accomplished. I don't think it's that easy to conquer the Arrivals."

But ─ ─

"The" Arrivals "have lost their party members once they failed. Dungeon strategy is more about who can continue to attack until the end than who is the first."

"I don't really like the idea of a stable husband, but I agree with all of this."

It was OWNS who sandwiched his mouth in the conversation. He whistled with his arms behind his head.

"I've been dealing with a lot of guys, but this dungeon is different. Oh, and I don't know who I can beat. I have to think of enduring battles."

"You took a country. You say that? It's not much rounded."

"I'm not dealing with a country. After all, it's a gathering of people. It's no big deal where the fish gather. But he's not. It's a fight against something beyond people. It's not easy to get rid of."

The ridiculous words of Rayfah were quickly passed on by Ornes without riding.

"If that's the case, why don't you just get out of the dungeon and ask me where the boss room is? You fought this hierarchy once, didn't you? Isn't that more efficient? Let's relax where we can."

"I can't do that! I'm not gonna die begging that notebook athlon for help!

"Oh, don't be so angry. There's no other way than to rely on him. Sophie's at the party over there, right? If you ask him, he'll listen to you in one shot.

"I kicked Sophie out. I'm not listening to you."

I see. In my opinion, he still admires you. "

"Even if it were, Sophie wouldn't have the advantage of listening to me."

"Why don't you just say, 'Listen to me and I'll use you as a knight again'?"

I'm not gonna give her a chance.

"That's convenient. All you have to do is say it with your mouth and break your promise. Use what is available. That's the smart way to do it, right?

"Either way, I'm not going to need notebooks or her help this time. It's my party. I will not disagree."

As the same bad guys, I can empathize with Ornes' idea of using what is available.

However, Reifa felt that the details of the means used were fundamentally different from his.

Reifa has a conviction that she doesn't choose means for her purpose, but that means she doesn't hesitate to use any cruel hands for her purpose, and she doesn't literally choose means.

For example, even if you have a situation where you can gently lower your head, you don't have to lower your head.

Rayfa has a hubris.

Even if she knows it's an inefficient way to do it, she follows her aesthetics and makes her loved ones feel soft to the hostages.

But Ornes is a man of a completely different nature from himself.

He prefers more efficient and immediate means.

I wouldn't hesitate to lower my head for a purpose, and I'd be happy to crawl on the ground.

For Reifa, evil is a belief for purpose, but for Ornes, it's just a tool for purpose.

I still don't agree with him. Unlike you, you're a very vulgar person.

I felt a feeling of spitting against Ornes, and I heard myself shouting with a breathtaking voice.

"Hey, Rayfa. Can I have a moment?"

"No way. Die."

"Suddenly not bad!?"

So tearfully protesting is Mia Rhine, a half-elf girl who just joined the party the other day.

I'm angry with that notebook athlon's childhood acquaintance, but above all, I don't like his familiar attitude.

"Why do you say such cold things!?"

Besides, there is no way to save him because he is unconscious.

If there is a minister who uses a name that respects "Ray Fa" but doesn't feel dusty, I would have to shoot him fast.

How many times have you bitten your teeth that you can't punish easily because you're good at battle?

"Just stop calling me that."

"Eh!? It's so cute!"

"Because I don't want cuteness."

Even though I have been careful many times, Mia is still in this state.

Strongly speaking, I don't see any signs of change, so I'm going to revert to the conversation.

"But what can I do for you? Call me suddenly."

"It's this hierarchy ─ ─"

Mia looked at the vast mountain range that stretched deep into the huge forest and said.

"Isn't there an entrance to the next level beyond that mountain?

"So I told you not to think about it for a second."

Rayfa lightly discarded Mia's opinion.

Originally, what Mia has just said has already been put forward as the party's opinion.

There was a huge chance that there would be a boss room ahead of the mountains in all directions, but it would take a few more days to cross the mountains.

Moreover, it would take twice as long if it was empty at the top of the mountain, so I couldn't make sure it was delicious.

In the background, the Princess Knights Army now set a direction for walking from an easily researchable location in front of the mountains.

"That said, it was really troublesome when there was a door to the next level at the top of the mountain range..."

Reifa felt that Mia's opinion was reasonable.

If Mia is right, if we need to cross the mountains to get to the next level, the stroll we're taking is a complete waste of time.

The best solution is to make an immediate decision to cross the mountain and advance your foot.

The point is, it's a matter of choice. Will you take the least risk, or will you take the higher return when something hits?

This is where we judge the party to be led. It is the qualities of the king.

"Okay. Let's cross the mountain."

In the end, Reifa chose to accept a high risk.

It's not like I got caught up in Mia Rhine's opinion.

Choosing an easy way to keep searching doesn't help. Rather than wasting time in vain, it was decided that showing new movements would be the thread of the offensive.

However, the casual half-elf did not know such a Rayfah's thoughts, and he was very good at it.

"See? I said something good, right?

……

I followed him with frustration, and the words came out of Rayfah's mouth on my own.

"By the way, if you can't find a door to the next level beyond that mountain range, you'll be beheaded."

"What!?"

I want you to speak with such readiness and hesitation. I thought so, Rafa.
