Since Sophie joined, the "Arrivals" have been pursuing their dungeon strategy relatively well.

Originally, The Arrivals was a party with up to 20 levels of experience.

Jin disappeared and took on a different form from the old "Arrivals", but the reinforcements of Sophie's presence and the improvement of his individual combat abilities have made him a more powerful party than before.

Previously, I struggled with the middle-ranking strategy, but now I quickly moved on to the next level.

And now, he was challenging an 18-story strategy.

The 18-story hierarchy is a mysterious concept that only giant monsters come out.

The big ones are not only monsters, but also trees and terrain, which is a hierarchy of scales from top to bottom.

"Big tree...."

We were familiar with the sight, but it was a strange sight for the first time Sophie.

Earlier on, Sophie looked around and exclaimed.

"It's kind of fresh to see people who are moved by the view of the dungeon, one by one."

Erin opens her mouth as she sees Sophie like that.

Speaking of Sophie, she was tilting her neck at Erin's reaction.

"Weird?

"It's not weird, it's fresh. Not many people reacted like that in" The Arrivals. "

Erin is absolutely right.

The Reacher (Albers) hasn't updated the highest Reach Hierarchy in over a year. Even if I dived in the dungeon, I had never seen it before, and I forgot the experience of being surprised by the view inside the dungeon like Sophie.

"By the way, there's a mountain in the back, right?

"Yes"

Oh, it's a boss monster in this hierarchy.

What a merciless rat. I think you can take care of the excitement a little more.

"What, that gaze....."

"If you tell me so much, Sophie's fun will disappear."

"The first time you came to this hierarchy, the notebook did it, right?

Really?

"Don't you remember? You came to this hierarchy early and reported the boss's signs in" The Enemy. "

"I don't know... that's what happened..."

I do remember being booked by the Force or something.

At that time, I told him 100% goodwill that it was better to find out about the boss sooner...

"It was a completely Boomerang statement."

"Why is he forgetting..."

"I'm sorry about that. But you don't have to let Sophie see you like this...."

Turn your gaze towards Sophie. She wasn't interested in the content of the conversation, and she had her usual cold expression on her face.

"I don't care. I don't want to enjoy the dungeon strategy."

I wonder if that is also the case.

I don't think it's impossible to have fun, but I think you can expect a little bit of such positive feelings from the dungeon.

In the first place, Sophie was invited to explore the dungeon not simply because of the power required for the "Reacher (Albers)".

Sophie had been kicked out under Rayfah and despaired of her life.

I want her to find new hope.

With such an intriguing motive, I intended to invite Sophie to The Arrivals.

But as she had found hope in her life, she hadn't seen it so far.

Sophie is passively pursuing a dungeon strategy with a sense of duty pushing her back.

He has dedicated himself to the "Arrivals" in return for extending his hand to us.

But is that Sophie's original intention? Is that what she wants to do? Is it the right relationship? I wasn't sure.

Well, then, there's nothing different from when I was under Rayfah.

The situation is tied up in a chain of thanks, with Sophie's help to fulfill the ambitions of the five of us. Incomplete, distorted symbiotic relationships.

I don't think it should be left as it is, but I don't know what to do.

Sophie's emotions aren't worn out.

When I actually came to this hierarchy, I looked at the unrealistic scenery and exclaimed my admiration. At least I have the heart to be moved by the scenery.

But Sophie is putting a brake on her mind.

I had the impression that I was telling myself that I shouldn't be happy or have fun.

"So, what about this hierarchy? How do we break through?

The voice of Erin returns to me.

Yes, I'm here to attack the dungeon now. First we need to figure out how to break through safely.

"It's time to fight with Erin.

That's what the Force said.

"Until now, when Erin came out, it wasn't going to be a practice of partying, was it? The monsters that are about to emerge are getting stronger and stronger. Isn't it a good hierarchy to let Erin out?

It was Erin who made the most of the "Arrivals" pause.

An irregular rough enterprise that uses the infinite magic of Magic Augmentation Polarity to force the skill to increase by continuously shooting spells.

As a result, she is now a walking magic weapon.

You can shoot infinitely at the highest level of high firepower spelling. That said, it will be easy to understand her out-of-standard behavior.

That's Erin. If she takes it seriously, the dungeon monsters will be extinguished in an instant.

We just need to protect Erin from incoming monsters, and we'll be out of synergy.

That's why I sealed Erin up to the 17th floor, but maybe it's time to practice with Erin for the upcoming depth.

"Are you sure? I'm out. I'll take them all down."

"You're as confident as ever."

"It may have been before, but it's true now."

"Well, I'll keep my hopes in mind."

Erin and the Force were still beating each other lightly.

Ace of Melee vs. Ace of Ranged.

Even though the two major aces of the party have rounded up with each other, they still seem to have a sense of rivalry.

"How do I move?

Sophie asks for instructions.

Erin said with her hair up.

"Protect me for now. That's enough."

When The Reacher (Albers) resumed exploring the dungeon, Erin lurked on the 16th floor and burned down the monsters on that level alone.

If she wanted to do it flashy this time, she would have done so much, but her expectations would have been greatly betrayed. In a bad way.

Now, as soon as Erin walks through the 18 tiers, she looks like she's throwing a spell.

Signs of ultra-dense magic. It was too late to realize that I was developing great magic.

A chunk of energy is thrown from the magical formation behind Erin.

Magic Run. Sparkling lights that augur ill for the viewer draw parabolas and run through the sky.

I thought it disappeared into the blue sky, and there was a distant, dry burst sound.

I had no idea what I had done for a moment, but I understood everything with the noise that came later.

He attacked the Opening Rapid Boss Monster with a declaration of war.

I'm not dealing with a junk fish monster on the road. I'm only interested in the boss. Don't fall asleep. Come out at once.

That's all I'm saying, a ruthless firing.

An act of impersonation to the dungeon that completely ignores specifications such as the boss room.

The dragon growls angrily when such an intention is conveyed. Waking up from sleep, he's totally targeting us.

"What are you going to do with this...."

I can still forgive you for waking up the boss, but the problem is you didn't take formal steps.

With a blow enough to wake the boss, the monsters around will naturally notice our signs.

It would be better if that were the case, but even the inner boss had not yet been defeated, so naturally, even the inner boss's signs began to appear.

"Like fighting all enemies in this hierarchy?

"What's wrong with that? Without that kind of power, we can't break through those 21 levels, can we?

It seemed to have been Erin's various thoughts and actions, but it was a completely chaotic logic.

At the very least, I wanted you to put in a word before you put it into action. Then it was decided whether or not to allow it.

"Roslia and Sophie took on the Weedfish Monster. Mr. Force, please get rid of the inner boss. Erin, take responsibility for waking the boss alone."

"I know. You can handle him by yourself, right?

"If you really know, that's fine...."

It was a worrying reply, but there was nothing I could do about it.

There's no limit to the number of Miscellaneous Fish Monsters, so Roslia and Sophie won't be free.

The key is how quickly the Force can handle the inner boss and improve the situation.

While we assemble our vision for the future, Erin keeps firing spells.

I could see the mountains approaching. Dragons do not stop walking under the rain of an attack in order to accommodate indescribable magicians within their range.

No matter how many wizards Erin compares to the Seven Wise Men, they are men.

Her magic has its limits, and it is only natural that ultra-long range ballistics that exceed tens of kilometers attenuate their power.

It seems impossible to cut the dragon before it reaches its range.

"Mr. Force, the inner boss is coming from 2: 00."

Wow.

The Force already seemed to be aware of the presence of the approaching strong enemy with a sharpened sense of clarity.

He was running before I gave him the information.

"I haven't buffed yet! Please wait!

Neme waited for the fleeing force. The support of the priests has not kept pace with the overly spectacular start of the war.

The force said a word without looking at the nemesis who could pray to the staff in a hurry.

I don't need it.

The reaction was unexpected ─ ─.

"Terrible! What the hell! I didn't need a neme!?"

Her face turned bright red and she was angry.

He stopped his supportive spelling hand and sprinkled his anger with his wand.

"I don't know the Force anymore. I won't spell it out for the rest of my life. The monsters won't heal you."

"Don't be stubborn. I'm not a kid who doesn't need tease."

"Then what is it?

"Neme spelling can be sealed on the 21st floor anyway. Then you'd better go through a fight without backup.

Surprisingly, the Force had a deep idea. Looks like he made a statement thinking it over. Whatever you say.

Well, I think it's dangerous to make such a challenge in this predicament, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

"Are you okay? In this situation. Can you handle the boss quickly without purgatory?

Purgatory is a demonic sword used by the Force. Instead of burning oneself, a damaging sword that scatters black flames that resemble the sharpness of a single digit and a curse.

Previously, he used to fight the Force's Magic Immunity Greater and Neme's Continuous Recovery spelling to spend the price of Purgatory, but is he going to defeat the inner boss with only the glorious sword that has no other price?

But the Force spoke of an answer that betrayed such expectations.

"No, I'll use Purgatory."

But then ─

"I'm telling you, Erin wasn't the only one who grew up."

The Force pulled its sword out of the black sheath and stood up.

"Purgatory can be used without the help of a neme."

I see. The Force was also well prepared for the 21st tier.

For the Force, the existence of Jin, who started the party with him, stands in line with other members.

A 21-storey boss who robbed him of his existence as a partner. I was prepared to defeat such an enemy.

"So, what happens to the role of Neme!?"

"That's why I don't need it."

"Nh, it's me!

Neme that shows a clear depression.

I can't help it. On the 21st floor, the boss will seal the Neme's sacred spelling. It is only natural to consider a battle without nemesis.

For that matter, you can use the Neme spelling on the next level, and I'll rely on it a lot.

Shortly after the Force disappeared into the forest, the sound of the sword resounded. Apparently, they started engaging the inner boss.

I was relieved to be crossing by myself, and now there were some disturbing signs from the front.

If you look at it, there's a diamond-like sparkle in the dragon's mouth.

That's not such a beautiful thing. It's a ray of light. We've reached the enemy's range.

"Sophie, expand your defensive spelling ─ ─"

Copy that.

Before Sophie opens her mouth to chant spirituality, there are huge magical signs coming from behind.

"I don't need it."

Flash from the cane. No, too much magic torrents for a flash.

A laser beam was fired from beneath Erin that hit the emitted beam from the front.

"You're going to shoot each other..."

A spectacular sight. The rays emitted from the dragon's mouth are reversed by Erin's laser beam.

Even though it was a reversal, it was pushed by Erin, and the dragon shuffled its head to avoid the hot line that fell on itself, and strayed from the orbit of the approaching laser.

"That's it. If I could spell it in your mouth like that, it would've been easier."

"That's it first...."

I was surprised to see a giant monster more than a few thousand times as big as myself competing directly in a mighty match, but I was looking beyond that to challenge the match.

Somehow, the world you see is too different. Erin only seemed to be able to defeat the Dragon on his own.

"Come on, let's go. Next!"

Erin releases the spelling constantly.

The opposing dragon seems to need a charge to emit light. Shortly before we counterattack, we are under attack.

As the charge accumulates, the rays emitted are immediately shot down by Erin's spelling. Unilateral genocide.

Dragon continues to take damage and enters Fury Mode.

The Fury Mode was a convenient name given by Neme, but the point is that when his health drops below a certain level, the mountain behind the dragon becomes an active volcano, launching a range attack.

If you think your back is red and glowing, you can see a flash. Angry mountains scatter lava and volcanic bombs with roars.

"Dendritic Beam!

Volcanic rounds fired. Erin shoots it down with a laser that branches several times.

You can see the forest monsters dying one after the other in the bouncing lava.

The scenery of Sophie's inspired giant woods will disappear completely, and only the volcanic bombs and Erin's spelled streams will spread through the burning forest.

Dragon attacks do not just erupt volcanoes. While ejecting lava, it emits light.

A red ray with more calories than before. Erin fires a branching laser magic and proceeds to intercept.

"Roslia, Sophie, I'm in charge of this damn attack! Bomb Shooting !

A little attack would mean a volcanic bomb. Erin, who can't use double activation (Double Kiast), has given up intercepting enemy volcano attacks and has decided to focus on processing more dangerous rays.

However, some volcanic bombs boast a few metres of attack. If it hits, ordinary people will die instantly.

And Roslia and Sophie are busy dealing with monsters other than the boss. There is no way I can deal with it suddenly.

"Okay."

I thought so, but I got an unexpected reply. This voice belongs to Sophie.

" Spirit of the Guardian Castle (Fronte), using the earth (Teera), generating walls (Paretsud);

Spiritual magic used to build earthen walls to prevent volcanic bombs from approaching beneath the "Arrivals".

But there are countless enemies around her. The giant monsters were attacking Sophie desperately to prevent an attack from the Dragon.

Sophie!

I was one step behind in my rush.

A giant elephant kick directly hits her torso. As it is, she is blown away by bending her body into a crooked shape.

No matter how much [Iron Wall] skill Sophie has, the opponent is an 18-story enemy. The direct hit is pretty dangerous right now.

Attempting to enter the rescue while avoiding a flock of imminent monsters is hampered by the number of enemies and the volcanic shells that descend from the sky, preventing them from getting close.

"Neme-san, I need a recovery spell."

"I know!

Neme's recovery spelling arrived and Sophie's body glowed green, but now Cyclops nearby shook up the stick and shook it down over Sophie's head. A dull sound sounds.

"The Shadow"

At this time, I would not hesitate to make some enemy attacks. Pushing through the side of the monster, Sophie thinned it out.

Under Cyclops, who attacked in an instant. There was no hesitation, a flash.

Magic Palm Bottom Spellsiotto !

A stunt that can only be unleashed twice in a single fight. The only attack I can do damage to monsters in the dungeon. Erin's magical synergistic attack hit a grey giant.

There's a hole in Cyclops' giant body. A cavity that appears to be fatal in one shot.

"Sophie, are you okay?

Speak to Sophie, who lies on the ground in a hurry. Blood is flowing from my head and my hands are bent in a strange direction.

But he still seems to be breathing.

"It's okay. I didn't solve the walls."

I was not able to move my body, but I was answering the wrong question.

Confirm that the Neme recovery spelling has arrived and take her and leave the front once.

Sophie's body, not yours.

"I'm fine. I don't die a lot."

"That's not the problem."

Sophie's attack didn't kill her, but it triggered her death.

Because of the bleeding from the mouth, it is clear that the internal organs were damaged, and there was also a fracture. If it hadn't been for Neme's recovery spelling, it would have been dead by now.

"I'm sorry. I finally beat the inner boss."

Looks like the hands of the Force are finally free. I decided to have the Force deal with the fish monster as it is.

Sophie's wounds were healed by Neme, but I think we should rest here.

Sophie grabbed my shoulder when she tried to put me to sleep near Neme.

"It's okay, because I'm cured. I can fight."

But ─ ─

"This is the dungeon. I can't take a break because I got a little injured. Isn't that right?"

"That's right....."

I can understand Sophie's point.

Even though the Force was free and able to afford it, it is still a situation of uncertainty. If you lose your mind, someone could get hurt again.

Well then, I'll go.

However, I stood up elsewhere and Sophie ran towards the surrounding junk monsters.
