"" "" ... ""

The jerky atmosphere collapses with a rattling noise.

Seiki, the lotus, and even the van were stunned without being able to repair them.

“Num!

Chep, raising his eyes and putting a claim in the lotus, suddenly uttered a loud voice when he saw the van.

The crisp atmosphere is rounded and gradually changes like konjac.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh! A wonderful lord. You're like, Van, aren't you?

“……” (Hey Lotus, do something)

"..." (Sorry, I won't get into my bracelet even with resistance!)

“……” (as expected, the air team)

"" ... "

"I'm talking secretly there. May I be with you?"

"" "..." "

The hearts of the three, except for Cep, now agree clearly.

"So, Van came to see me?"

"Disagreeable……"

`` Hey, it will be in the way of me and Van's Aise, so they disappear from this place-buzzing! ''

When everyone gave up on the runaway Cep, a potato that couldn't be helped popped out.

Cep, who had just eaten a rare potato round, hit the rooster.

Wow! Make a bad sound and hit the wall.

As expected, it is the material of the main dungeon. Even though potatoes and cep collide, they remain beautiful.

Chep, with a double punch on the potato and the wall, is convulsed to the whites.

"... great strength"

"That's right"

"... Oh, it was pretty hard. It was hard to process."

"Don't ignore me a bit!"

Chep regains consciousness.

Rare throwing was fairly strong, but Cep did not show any damage.

The level of experience may have significantly increased the physical level.

Even for his own body, Seiki is worried that she has grown something extraordinary.

If this continues, it is likely that a bipedal salmon will be bombed, which will not injure a single person even if crushed by a heavy truck.

Sekit left Van's house, dragging his blinding Cep.

"What happened, Van?"

"I can almost imagine."

"Do you understand Sky Star?"

"Oh dear……"

From Van Fragment's words, Seiki could imagine what he was holding.

Van, who felt inferior to his peers, went to warrior training alone.

But if Haruki talks about it, it will hurt Van's pride.

For those who want to do something silently, it is best to wait silently to do it, rather than repeat a hundred words.

"Can you do anything?"

"Nothing at the moment"

"Is that so……"

Returning to the hotel, looking away at the back of the fire lotus, Seiki moved to the entrance of the dungeon.

Go down to the first stairs at the entrance and lean toward the wall.

So he took out the skill board and Seiki quickly swipe the screen.

"I feel like it's coming from here ..."

Sorry, Haruki wanted to find out why Van was disappointed with "insufficient power."

Just because I found it, I don't mean to do anything right now.

However, I wanted to be able to respond immediately when requested.

"Oh!"

Perhaps it was in the sensing range as expected by Seiki. Van's tree appears on the screen.

"Oh, that?"

Looking at the skill tree, Seiki immediately noticed something unusual.

"No blessing ..."

Van is a member of Aerial and Chikaho has the same highest rank as Kagemitsu.

Nevertheless, for some reason his tree did not show blessing.

"... It's weird. It should have appeared when I reached the 10th floor."

No, and Haruki shakes her head.

In the middle dungeon dungeon, there was no blessing on Esta even when he reached the 10th floor.

Later, blessing appeared on the 10th floor of the garage dungeon. Is the same phenomenon occurring?

"But Kagemitsu is blessed even though she's diving down to the same level in the same dungeon ..."

I don't know what this difference is.

Isn't blessing automatically obtained if you dive to a specific floor?

"Hmm.

Seiki wanted to do something with the skill board when it happened.

In fact, you can strengthen your van at once by playing with the skill board.

However, the expression of blessing cannot be controlled with the skill board.

(… I see. This may be the cause.)

Haruki thought that Van could have been deficient in himself because of blessing.

Seiki and Lotus are greatly strengthened by blessing.

Haruki gained a fairly strong skill in discovering weaknesses, and the fire lotus visibly increased the power of lightning, allowing her to use magic outside.

With just blessing, your abilities rise dramatically.

If all the members of the aerial were blessed and only Van had no blessing.

I can clearly recognize the difference between my members and my power.

If you look at the whole skill, it is not low. Physical abilities should be the same.

In other words, the presence or absence of blessing, and thus the ability to open eyes, is the cause of his loss of self-confidence.

Either way, there seems to be nothing that can be done right now.

It's the same as I told you, but I have no choice but to watch for a while.

*

One week after visiting Van's house.

Seiki and her team continued mapping on the 17th floor with a two-day break.

The mapping took a considerable amount of time, as much as four or five times the size of the first basement floor and the forest stage.

However, thanks to the time spent, Haruki finally discovered the boss.

"Wow……"

"It's pretty big"

"Yes. I saw that deer for the first time."

The boss was a tall deer, wondering if there would be twice as much as Seiki.

Elk is closer than sika deer.

It was so huge that the perspective just went crazy just by looking at it.

The horn extends like a spatula toward the tip and is larger than the deer head.

If attacked at this corner, it would easily be thrown away if it was clear.

"I'll go now."

"Yes!"

Count 3, 2, 1 and start at zero.

Jumping out of the forest, Seiki heads straight for the deer.

The deer noticed the presence of Haruki when they jumped out of the trees.

No surprise is possible.

However, the momentum remains, and Haruki slashes on the deer.

「――Sushi !!」

A dagger aimed at his neck was interrupted by a corner.

The deer shakes his head daringly.

"--Wow!"

Then, a dagger was caught on the projection of the corner.

Step back and avoid daggers.

“…………”

Unlike the conventional deer, the boss has a large protrusion at the corner.

If you get caught on this, you lose your weapon.

That's annoying.

Haruki uttered herself.

-Tha-wan !!

――Dadadadada !!

At the same time as Haruki retreats, Fire Lotus and Rare start attacking almost simultaneously.

A fire lotus strikes the boss's flesh, and a rare throw throws damage on his feet.

The boss breaks his knees with a double strike of lightning and throwing.

there,

「――Sushi !!」

Seiki matched.

Shake the evil sword and go to the streak of light.

Before the evil sword touches the muscle,

"That!"

The boss slightly moved his body.

Haruki's attack was not completely avoided, but the wound was rather shallow.

Another shot.

I tried to make it,

"――Putto!"

Stopped suddenly, feeling signs of a counterattack.

Leave immediately.

Late, the boss's horn passed his former location.

The back of Shikizoku and Seiki shook.

Strong mental strength that can be counterattacked even after being attacked to rigidify the body.

And a strong body that does not leave the control of its mental power.

This deer was a level that set it apart from previous bosses.

Is your HP high, your body strong, or your mental strength?

Seiki was very interested in how far his opponent could fight.

How nice. Really good.

If the opponent responds, just release it until it can not respond.

Seiki raised her conscious gear.

Cut, tear, poke, kick.

Go around and attack back.

Increase the speed of thinking.

Attack, responsive, reflex, flip.

Defend, avoid, counter.

Increase body speed to the limit.

As Seiki raised the gear, the boss's response slowly delayed.

The boss is tossed by Seiki's movement.

Being tossed, on the side full of gaps,

-Tha-wan !!

――Dadadadada !!

Lightning and throwing are direct hits.

Pushed by the strength of the attack, the boss collapsed.

The boss's chest

"Wow !!"

The tip of the magic sword pierces deeply.

Seiki thrust a magical sword at one point on her chest, where intense light glowed.

The tip must have reached the heart. The boss jumped up a lot with Bikun and stopped immediately.

"Huh ......... Huh ..."

Step back lightly and leave a distance.

Seiki watches the depressing deer carefully.

The dungeon flickered lightly as the boss's convulsions stopped completely.

At the same time light dizziness.

It's been a long time since I got up.

"..."

"Thank you, Sky Star"

"The fire lotus too.

After loosening the tight tension, Haruki snaps his weapon into the sheath.

While watching the boss's body buried under the ground,

"This boss was pretty strong. Even with a lightning strike, we couldn't completely shut off the movement."

"That's right. It wasn't as good as the dark knight ..."

That is exceptional. For Haruki, the dark knight was an opponent who never wanted to fight again.

Not to mention the strength, Haruki hated the Dark Knight's "Incomprehensible" anyway.

When dealing damage, avoiding an attack, betraying an opponent's expectations.

If it is a living monster, it will always react to your body and face.

But the dark knight has no expression and no muscle.

You don't know how much damage you've done with an attack, and you'll be skeptical of whether it's your target if you keep evading the attack.

If the opponent is unresponsive, the spirit will be cornered.

The deer boss, on the other hand, was painful when dealing damage, and upset when he avoided the attack. The level may have been high, but he was still an easier fighter than the Dark Knight.

"Sure, it's better than that. However, as you progress through the dungeon, ordinary monsters will eventually have the same level of strength as that, surely ..."

"I guess."

He understood that the heart of the lotus with a disgusted expression was picked up, and Haruki smiled involuntarily.

If you think that strength is the basis, you will be depressed.

"But by that time we'll be getting stronger. Until then, we'll do our best to level."

"Yes!"

There must be more time to be basic.

Until then, leveling, you will be stronger than the dark knight.

Just be stronger and become an adventurer who can beat without struggling.

Two items emerge from the ground where the boss sinks.

One is deer antlers, bigger than one meter.

The other is a silver mass.

"Is this an ore? Don't see it for the first time."

"Is it silver?"

Seiki picked up the silver mass and felt a fairly heavy weight.

He looks up and looks at the lump, but does not know the identity of the ore.

That should be it. Seiki has excellent observation eyes but does not have appraisal eyes.

I had no knowledge or knowledge to determine if this was silver or another material.

(If this mass is silver, rare is likely to react ...)

At the moment, Rhea is just looking at something unusual and has no desire for ore.

This is probably not a rare treasure item.

If so, is silver unlikely?

"Would you like to take it to Akane's shop for the time being?"

"I agree"

Store the materials in a magic bag, go down to the 18th floor and activate the gate.

Glance at the 18th floor.

This floor was also a forest stage like the 17th floor.

It is already 5 o'clock when I look at the clock

If you hunt from here, you will not be able to return to the ground by the time the Akane shop closes.

Haruki decided to search the 18th floor the next day and returned to the ground at the gate.
