Over The Infinite

Episode 5: To the New Winds

-1 -

"Yikes!!"

Goblins are mutilated and desperate with Yuki's hanging voice.

Our collaboration in the first level of the Kobolt battle was poor, too, by experiencing multiple miscellaneous fish battles. Sometimes the tension may have been resolved.

Mainly the ideal pattern that I assumed initially that I would be in charge of the goblin leader and Yuki would tailor a bow or other long-range attack, and the battle almost ended dangerously.

You didn't have time to use it, and the goblin leader never used your skills.

I also feel like the oak was actually stronger just because of the number.

"This is the last time!!"

The rest of us together, Yuki stabs Todome in the goblin that was on the run.

Seeing only here is a weak abuser.

[Attacked Trial Dungeon Tier III Hierarchy Boss]

[The Boss Trial's Attack earns a Level Up Bonus only for challengers below LV3]

The example announcement flows and the attack is completed.

Same level up bonus. Will it eventually be LV5?

Even with LV3, I don't think the number that went up has changed, but I know it's obviously easier to get the power in than it was in the beginning.

So far, the LV has gone up and I don't remember any magic or skill.

"It would be nice if the attack could pass properly"

Yuki, who finished the last goblin, is back.

You picked it up when you came back scattered all over the ground, multiple cards in your hand... drops.

"Uh, four pieces of 'grilled goblin meat', two pieces of 'grilled goblin meat (medium quality)', two pieces of 'trial shortsword' and one piece of 'broken shortbow'. Later," Low Quality Potion ".

It all came out with cards. I wonder if the broken shortbow is because I broke it when I defeated it. "

"Sure, you were smashing it up when you did. You keep both Trial Shortswords."

"Then I guess the tuna is meat, all of it. I can't eat anyway."

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna give you a card of goblin meat.

I don't think it would change much if people told me about the medium quality of goblin meat. No, you're not going to tell me it tastes even worse.

I guess that's not the case that you can eat this decently from your interactions at the first level.

"I'd love to try the potion, but Yuki has it for me."

"I knew you cared. Actually, I sold it at my parents' house, but it's very expensive. I don't know if it was low-quality or high-quality."

Do you sell it outside?

"How much, by the way?"

"The market was corny with availability, but I guess it's the cheapest guy and about the same as the average household monthly income. It's not a glass bottle, it's a pottery, it's a very small container."

What is depicted is a picture of a bottle of medication held in your hand. I don't know the exact scale, but it looks considerably smaller than I imagined.

It's about half the nutritional drinks we sell in convenience stores.... Will this fly your monthly income?

"You'll never be able to help if you're outside. That's what's going to happen in the trial."

"It also says the effect. HP 50 gradually recovered. If it's not an immediate recovery, you don't seem to be able to hit Red Po in a row or anything. I wonder if it works besides HP. Otherwise, there's no point in selling it outside."

Like a series of red po hits even though it's not red. In the first place, you can't take a lot of pills in battle.

I wonder about injuries and such. It's worth it when it comes to blocking scratches. I'm pretty sure this will be our healing tool in the future, beyond the absence of a healer.

"Speaking of which, Goblin meat, now you've crossed ten"

"Tuna hasn't had a problem with food for a while."

Me, I want some more decent food.

The burgers I was selling on my way to this dungeon, or the hot dogs.... I guess I should have bought it.

Why am I eating goblin meat until I get to this city?

-2 -

The warp gate on the third floor was through, as a matter of course, as there was no particular struggle. Head to the fourth floor.

There's not much change on the 4th floor or on the road to the boss battle, and we go on kicking the goblins, wolves and bats.

Only once I was swarmed by a large swarm of bats, but nothing else broke through.

"Well, the last medium boss battle. This is where Lizardman will be alone. We change race by race every month, so maybe not the next time we come."

They can be Lizardman or Beast Man depending on the moon.

They're strong because of the performance of Wartiger and the species themselves, so it doesn't seem that difficult this month.

"Is there as many of us as you want? That would be advantageous if you just set the head count."

Right. Try with dozens like a class of students and you'll be slapped.

"No, the boss here is not supposed to take us down. The number of challengers x five minutes, survival is a condition of attack. If one dies, Outnya.

It's a LV10 equivalent Lizard Man inside, so Rookie is tough to beat.... Actually, this is where most of the people taking the memorial exam are going to give up. "

"I don't know how strong LV10 is. We're LV3 now, so simply think about it, is it going to be three times stronger?

Well, you don't get it.

In fact, even if it went from Lv1 to Lv3, I don't feel like it's tripled stronger.

"Pinkie Ligna. Even if I say LV10, they drop LV that far, it can change depending on its original strength.

Only the boss here is often in charge of active adventurers on a part-time basis, so if he was originally a skilled Lizard Man, it could be a terrible thing. Luck is tested in a way.

But I know people who work part-time are newcomers, so even if they have bad strengths, they can help. "

You're lucky.

So, no matter how lucky you are, you need as much strength as you can withstand a minimum LV10 Moblizzard Man opponent for a certain amount of time.

The boss room so far is spacious, but the structure is simple, and it will be difficult to keep running.

At the very least, you must have a member who can put up the front line.... In our case, it's either me.

"Of course you can take them down. If the person in charge is working part-time, we might be able to figure it out. Actually, if you knock it down, they'll have a special bonus, so you can go for it."

"By the way, if you're Mr. Chitta now, can you take one down?

"Whatever comes, if it's falling to LV10, it's perfectly fine. It's not Dada's LV33. I'm confident that the five-tier boss will be able to complete it.

Compared to when we fought hard here, we became stronger. "

It is a Doya face. I want to hit you, this smile.

But, well, maybe it's true. Just looking at the status card numbers and skills, we know there's an isolated difference.

Not just the numbers. I didn't see the fight, but I know how strong it is just to see how it behaves.

As distinct as Bacchus' old man, who was before the dungeon, I don't feel that even this cat ear can win even if it stands upside down as it stands.

"Speaking of which, what are the conditions for this LV to go up? It's not just a bonus to Boss Attack."

"Defeat a lot of enemies and you'll rise. Knock down the strong one and you'll get up easy."

Was it EXP?

"Don't you have any guidelines on how soon you're going up?

"Once you've gained a little experience, you'll be able to acquire the skills that appear on your status card. After that, I have the skills to see it even if it's not a card."

"Really? Oh, and I was wondering, what is the standard talent shown in the status?

If the numbers are high, the abilities are strong. "

You don't know what that means.

"For example, my numbers are higher than they were in LV1, but I don't feel that much stronger."

"Uh, you know what? It's not entirely public, but it's powerful information that it's multiplied by hidden numbers."

Do you have mask data?

Oh, no, well. Is this a correction value, not a talent value itself?

"If a guy with a thick arm, like Muscle Brothers, and Ashi compete in an arm wrestle, Ashi loses if the numbers are the same. So running and muscle-training is pretty important."

"Without the original arm strength, it won't do much to increase the correction value."

"On the contrary, if the correction value is high, even a little muscle tread will greatly improve the force."

You're so cynical. Thin arms like Yuki won't do you much good if your stats increase?

I once thought about this status outside the city.

For example, if the arm is raised, how does it become stronger? That force wouldn't be just arm strength.

If the arm muscles are applied, the arm strength will be applied. As a result, the status increases, which is further enhanced by the correction value. I mean, it's just hard to notice, but my muscles are getting stronger overall.

"I don't have a clear answer because the values are managed separately, mostly directly with muscle strength. However, if you train your original abilities, you will definitely be stronger.

And then there are skills and equipment that enhance the original abilities. Muscle Brothers uses these skills to build charm muscles. "

Is that attractive?

"Well, if you're in a difficult shape with me or your muscles, you need to be very strong."

"I don't think you'll be so pessimistic. You can reinforce your abilities with the skills you just mentioned, and on the contrary, you can beat Tsuna by raising the correction value a lot. Even this feminine, thin arm of Achishi can beat Tsuna with an arm wrestle."

"No, I don't want to beat Tuna."

Still, the position where you can assure me that you can beat me with Mr. Chitta's arms is that you have the benefit of your status.

"Besides, the original flesh is working up to its limits when it comes to the level of a top lanker or something, so they say it doesn't make a lot of difference if you don't include corrections.

There are physical limitations to what's going on. Correction values are mandatory for human limits to be breached. "

"Is Mr. Chitta muscled or something?

"There's a muscle trap in the cranhouse, and I'm going to the gym. I attend regular workouts. Beast Ear Boot Camp Nya"

You're suddenly becoming realistic. But you do,... do I start muscle straining too?

I can confirm that my status will increase even if I'm not leveling up, and I'll be able to work out in a double sense.

"Let's get back to it, the boss's Lizardman here is LV10 fixed, so you can put it at a" correction value "and think it's roughly triple the difference.

Lizardman has a high physical performance, so it's good to think there's more difference. "

"As good as it gets, I get it."

"Well, it's time to try. Ahchishi's going ahead, as you can see."

That said, Mr. Chitta's standing floor went down like a stage lift and disappeared.

Do you need to do this gig every time?

"What are we gonna do about the way we fight? If you're sure they're alone, it's gonna change a bit."

"Well, let's just think about it."

So, after a little operational time, we challenge the fourth tier of the offense. It's the last media-boss fight.

-3-

The boss room has the same structure as two or three floors, but I feel that the number of people is bigger than three.

In the middle of the square there was already one Lizardman standing and waiting. Not very mob-like. Armed doesn't feel like a rental, either, and it looks a little strong.

"Hey, I'm tired of waiting. Rookie."

I told you, dude.

"Uh, are you a part-timer?

"Bytes?!... Bytes are hey bytes, but I volunteered your opponents for once"

You sniped at us?

"... why not?

"Ah, well, you can't tell the difference between human beings. It's me. Me."

"Ole ole scam?

Does the labyrinth city incorporate so much modern Japan? You won't need to incorporate it until you scam.

"No!... I'm the Lizardman who brought you all to this city."

"Oh, that lizard old man"

"An old man... No, you must be an old man."

I don't know if I can tell at all. The walls of the race are thick. If you're an animal like Chitta, you can still tell the difference.

"Why is that uncle here?

"That's one thing to do here. You're the only examiner. He's the boss of the fourth tier."

...... sucks. This old man is pretty strong.

Even if it's falling back with restrictions on the LV, this is how I just feel visibility pressure confronting it.

Stand and dance, unlike the goblins and oaks you've been fighting. It unleashes the awesomeness of war.

"Shall I talk to you for a second before the exam? That said, the rules here, things like that."

The lizard old man doesn't stand up, he talks to us.

"Looks like there's a time limit."

"That's null and void unless you go into battle. Nevertheless, I'm not going to talk too long, so let's add a time limit.... three minutes."

When the old man says so, a 3: 00.00 number appears in the corner of his sight and starts counting down.

"By the way, if you start a combat operation, this will be zero and the real countdown will begin."

The count is zero, or the moment we get our hands on it, the battle begins.

"So what are you talking about to us?

"You guys are going to have a lot of prospects, so I thought I'd work you out here. Be a senior adventurer."

Senior...... right, this guy...... will Lizardman be a senior too?

"As far as the conversation in the carriage was concerned, it was going to be challenging within the day."

Well, I wasn't hiding it. We were the only two on top, so it's not weird to hear.

"By the way, what if you weren't here the first day?

"That's you......, crying to sleep"

You better thank Yuki for that. If I hadn't told you this guy was going, I'd have done it tomorrow.

"So, what are you gonna tell me, old man?"

"It's not a big deal. I'm talking about the Dungeon Master."

"Dungeon Master?"

Does it matter now, that?

"You heard the Dungeon Master is the administrator here and recommends an attack on the Dungeon...... 'Infinite Corridor'?

"Oh, I didn't ask you why,"

"I don't even know the details. But the actual offensive speed is fast, about once a month at best. This would be quicker, actually, but the Dungeon Master doesn't seem to be happy with this.

But that's not how fast you get when you tap the asses of the guys you're attacking right now. They're desperate too. "

At a higher pace a month, you mean it's too late?

"So expect a new breeze. Basically, no one grows up in a labyrinth city. Above average, but often I can't look any further. I'm adapting to the environment where I was born and raised, so I'm going to compromise somewhere.

I've been watching the top guys since I was a kid, and I thought, "You know, at the height of our aspirations, we can't be any more talented than that. We just have to work hard on that one ourselves."

Is that referring to talent like the students I saw before entering this dungeon?

They knew about Bacchus. I've grown up seeing that kind of presence. So unconsciously, it becomes a goal.

"Can't you do that? And that goal is being updated every day."

"I don't think so. I don't know where the Dungeon Master is going, but I've been told many times to attack the Dungeon sooner than now.

I mean, they haven't asked me the exact exact thing, but it's not gonna end then, you know, the infinite corridor. I don't know how far this is going to go. "

There is little point in shortening the 100-layer strategy that is likely to be reached in just over a year until it is thus broken out to newcomers.

Do the adventurers outside whom I met at the gates of the city also call in for that to mean something?

"So you call in the wind from the outside and expect it.... It's not everyone's fault, is it?

Otherwise, there's no reason for the old man to bother sniping at us. If you expect wind from the outside, you don't mind other adventurers.

"That's right. He said it in the carriage, but you guys are from" Japan, "right? That would be a lot of anticipation for Dungeon Master's hometown. I don't know what a great country it is, but that's all I think you're gonna do."

No, what about that? Aren't you expecting too much from the Japanese? The Japanese are not superhuman or anything. I can't do anything about it, so I starve to death in the village, or be polite in a liquor store.

Or, I knew you were a Dungeon Master Japanese.

"Beth, I'm definitely not telling you guys what to do. Maybe I can, so I'm ready for your study.

If you train everyone from one end to the other, you'll see who it is. This one's good for everybody. "

There's no such thing as "studying" and working out the prospects. You make me cry.

"I'd like to ask you one thing, okay, uncle"

"Oh, my God."

"Your lizard uncle couldn't help you break out?

Is that Yuki's provocation? Or is it just a confirmation?

"Oh, you can't. I'd say don't disappoint me, but the top guys in this labyrinth city don't get stylish.

When you get older, you see the limits of talent. This isn't about physical age. Even I'm still active, but it took me ten years to reach the fifty-first level where I am.

I'm not saying we can't be any more aggressive, but the truth is, we're not going much further. From there, there's a wall ahead. It's a giant wall that can't be easily broken by ordinary people. "

"You mean you gave up?

"I haven't given up. It's just that I'm the only one who can try to move on. The air stalled for a long time. Only some of them can move on.

I'm looking for a way to do something about this. I'm looking for a breeze that blows away the precipitated air.

... so think of it as old bullshit and go quietly with the backward education. Rookie. "

…………

I can't be lazy or think this lizard old man is no big deal.

Despite limited LV and loss of physical ability, I've never felt the pressure from before.

From now on, we have to confront people who are limited in ability and time, but who are supposed to be called supermen, heroes, or brave men.

I don't have much time left to show in my sight.

When I looked at Yuki, Yuki was looking at this one too.

"You, you don't think you can do this again if you lose, do you?

'No way, if you're thinking about the fifth tier, there's a thousand chances you can work out here. Our goal is to break this trial for the first time. "

'I haven't heard of such a goal, but, well, yeah, maybe if I beat this old man, I could do it'

"Oh, for once, it's a short-term goal for now."

"Ok, ok"

For some reason, I just looked into my eyes and I felt it fit. It is a super strange phenomenon.

As far as I'm concerned, it would have been nice for a girl to make sense of it if we could, but I'll leave it now.

The countdown is almost over.

The lizard old man pulled out his sword. It's not a trial-paid thing, it's probably my own, used song knife. There are no gorgeous decorations, but I know it would be good.

Yuki doesn't even need to see it.

... So let's call it a challenge.

The countdown ended and switched to the original 10: 00 display.

Yuki was the first to set me up.

Throwing knife. The largest number of three simultaneous throws ever. Offset the timing and enter the short bow setup. Flowing behavior is already a skilled area.

I'll pack my distance with the old man to go with it.

Naturally, I haven't thought about hitting the knife, but whether I avoid it or strike it off, I need to pinch something. Poke that gap.

The moment the three knives landed roughly simultaneously, everything was paid for in just one swing of the old man.

The old man is moving into interception position before I attack him. All the timing for the landing is futile.

Damn, all three of these were better off timing.

But I can't stop now. Wave your sword to match the gap that was barely born.

A flash that would surely arrive if the opponent ever confronted him.

But it was flushed with more streamlined motion than I could have imagined and easily disfigured. I didn't take it or pay for it. The momentum shifted in the wrong direction.

A song knife wielded by a return motion approached me with a disfigured position.

You gotta be kidding me. Whoa!!

I was forced to twist it, but the blade swept away the critical spot, tearing my skin shallow.

The moment I thought it was critical, the old man had already moved on to his next slashing move. Moves too fast! I see no waste whatsoever in the behavior that occurs with each and every one of the actions.

An inevitable blow as it is. My image of being turned into two pieces overtakes my head.

However, the slaughter was never released in order to cast the arrow released from Yuki.

In the flash of my birth, I take my time.

"... Pane"

It hasn't gone out of style. What a master.

Almost integrally, they showed an overwhelming difference in strength. Whatever it is, it's too different in character from previous boss fights.

Yuki doesn't have that many means of ranged attack either, but challenging melee on this is reckless.

If so, I have no choice but to stand forward, but I can't come up with a vision that I can break through that songknife wall.

Not long after I thought about it, my old man came packing his time.

I will deal with the attack on the assumption that I will not hit it, but take it and pay it. Still critical. Align your sword with a stormy sword trident without living comfort.

Each blow is very heavy and sharp. If you get distracted, they easily pay for your sword. There's no time to move on to a counterattack.

If you eat properly, a single blow will kill you. A slaughter will strike you like a storm.

It was released from Yuki when he said that he could only endure without breathing and that he would be pushed out if he stayed like this.

Rope with tip. It's the first weapon I've ever seen used, but it was released at the perfect time. It wraps around the old man's arm and stops the movement for a moment.

"Nice!!"

To poke the best gap Yuki had created, I fleshed out to my old man and waved my sword down with all my might.

"Gu!"

The first effective hit I ever hit. But shallow.

With his arm in place, he twisted his body and avoided a fatal injury. Avoid it in this position.

"Damn!

A second blow that goes on and releases.

But before that, the old man pulled the rope that was restraining his arm the other way around and got out lightly.

My sword is spoken for as a matter of course. Then there was the sound of Yuki being pulled with a rope and knocked down to the ground.

The rope that leaves Yuki's hand is released somewhere by the old man's hand.

"Ta Ta"

"Are you okay?"

Stand in between and wait for Yuki to stand up while he's alert to his old man attacking.

"No, inside. How is that not bad? I never thought I'd get a blow like this."

"... thank you"

I almost just plundered, didn't I?

This one's not on the level I imagined. Clearly, it's a desperate difference in skill.

In my experience, I have no experience fighting opponents with this difference in power. It's an entirely unknown realm.

I don't know if it's due to Lizardman's pedigree traits or HP walls, but there's also very little bleeding. I'm not even breathing.

This one, on the other hand, came up breathing in this short period of time as a result of his best efforts. Even though I was confident in my health, I'm such a jerk. Pathetic.

The countdown in sight hasn't diminished by a minute yet.

I saw Yuki's hand sign at the edge of my sight. He said he'd come forward too.

... Sure, you're not the right person for a long-range attack.

Never mind, pack your time again.

Probably released in the best step of the day. That still doesn't get held back by the old man's sword either.

But you couldn't flush it out, and you never let this one fall apart.

Now it's this one's turn, go on, two shots, three shots and wave the sword. I'm still the attacker, though I've been held back by the Knife.

And Yuki, who screened my body and approached me, set me up from between. All right, good timing.

"What!?"

Was the attack from a sighted place unexpected, the old man's voice rising?

The blade succeeded in poking at the void of the unreachable, and the old man's posture collapsed in evasion.

I wave my sword down to poke that gap. Yuki is also in the next movement.

Draw the trajectory inside and the sword runs to suck into the old man's body.

But just the moment I was sure it hit me, a strong shock ran on my flank.

"Guh!!"

My vision flipped. No, I danced the universe.

What, what happened?

It blew up as it was and fell to the ground.

While unable to swallow the situation, use the momentum of a spin to get your body up and ready for pursuit.

"Huh!!"

A dull pain runs through my flank. This isn't slashing pain...... no way, he got kicked?

"Wow!!"

"Whoa!!"

Yuki has been flying for a long time, so I'll take it. Hold it like this, you're smaller than you can imagine, this guy.

Did this guy get kicked, too, to see his old man lifting his leg?

It's not normal to fly people this far with a kick. Even your physique doesn't change that much, how much power do you have?

"Oh, thank you, Tuna"

Put Yuki down and confront the old man at a distance. Damn, my stomach hurts.

Consciousness had gone entirely to swordsmanship alone. It's not a sword match, so you got legs, too, damn it.

Not enough power. Not fast enough. Reaction speed, experience confronting powerful enemies. And most importantly, I don't have enough sword arms.

Too isolated strength is a good place for adults and children alike. It's not like Melee Combat is the only way to fill this difference.

That sword's skill is not just physical ability and experience. Definitely benefited from Swordsmanship or similar skills.

How much difference would it make if an old man possessed a massive, no more skill than Mr. Chitta showed me?

Is this the guy from Labyrinth City?... restricted to this or something, definitely a monster.

There's no pursuit from the old man when he says it's a great opportunity to pin us down.

When he sees it, the old man stops and invites him on the spot. You show too much room.

Earlier, the two of us were easily kicked over. I still don't see any gaps in the sword either.

It's just not a bad screen utilizing my big body and Yuki's little body. Pretty effective if you're dealing with someone with little physical difference.

"Yuki, that was Ali earlier. We'll set it up again."

"Okay.... be vigilant in your footsteps."

Once again, we'll stand up against the old man.

It was then.

In the corner of my vision, I noticed a system message.

[Skill 'Swordsmanship' mastered]

-4-

That was a really trivial difference.

I don't know how to wield the sword, the angle, how to put in the force, how to carry the legs, or if it's optimal, but I know what needs to be corrected from previous movements.

The feeling of being elevated from previous Melee Combat and One-Handed Weaponry, and swordsmanship that just relied on your own streaming combat experience, to a well-structured Swordsmanship.

One by one is a minor difference, and you won't know the difference from the outside, but it's a huge difference from the person you're using.

Now, I can continue to attack opponents who have never had any hands or feet, even though Yuki has the help.

However, there is still a strong difference between optimal and conscious movement. A slight deviation creates a gap and is cut back.

He was slashed in the arm, but a piece of skin. There is no obstacle to movement. This is nothing.

"You've mastered something in this earthquake."

They are sure, but they don't need to be informed. Listening.

Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate.

It's okay, Yuki will cover for a few mistakes. Believe that, I challenge the melee again.

Perhaps Swordsmanship skills are not the only ones gained from this fight.

In addition to the experience of fighting in the mountains and the experience of fighting in this dungeon, it was expressed by visualizing and experiencing the sword of an old lizard.

I'm sure it's a good time, but the old man's stunt is too much for a push later. It is also inevitable that you can master it.

If so, the most necessary way to optimize this skill is to "see" it.

Recognize and learn the movements, angles, trajectories, and leg carriage of the old man's sword. Don't miss everything you do every single time and feed it all back into your Swordsmanship.

Well, this is certainly a good "study". So you're dealing with the best reference books. Thank you.

"Whoa, whoa!"

In line with Yuki's attack, he strikes a blow in line with a disturbance in posture that can't even be described as a gap.

It overlapped with an ideal movement that could be judged to be the current optimal, although not complete. With precision that passes through the hole in the needle, it taps into the slightest gap that has occurred in the old man's sword junction.

The blow broke through the old man's sword wall for the first time and gave him an effective hit.

"Ngu!

Although I hesitate for a moment to be slaughtered, the time opens up again after receiving a huge wave of return.

But this one hasn't broken down either. It can continue like this. To fold up, head forward again.

I don't know how many times, but I'll sew the gap between that sword junction and do it through the attack!!

"Really, what are you guys? Impossible. That's Rookie."

That's how I slaughtered an old man.

Not bad. This is also a sword strike close to the ideal image...

Shit.

I felt something cold running through my back.

The wild inquiry cultivated in life is the biggest alarm I've ever heard. My whole body is screaming for me to stop.

In my suddenly thrown vision, I saw the old man's songknife emitting a green light.

Something... comes.

- Action Skill: Power Slash

At the same time as that message appeared in my sight, an unlikely speedy sword flash was released through my sword.

Slaughter is imminent than my sword reaches in an instant.

"Tuna!

I hear Yuki screaming.

Shit, shit, shit. This is a blow you shouldn't eat.

Shut up, shut up, or force yourself to evade.

Forced to evade a position that was already in the attack motion.

No. It's inevitable!

He is blown away by a deep sword attack, which can be described as a deep, fatal wound.

I wasn't even conscious. The voiceless scream went up.

Evasive action and slight orbital disobedience with the sword and jumping back made it slightly less damaging, but the damage was enormous.

The diagonally carved laceration to the front of my body reached the ribs and several broke... no, it would have been severed.

Is it because of the HP wall that the blood hasn't blown out more than I thought?... If it's a direct hit, it's dead with just one shot right now.

But still, if they chase you, it's over.

"Ahhh!!"

When I looked up, Yuki's sword was reaching the old man, whether he had targeted a skill-activated gap.

"Chi!

Yuki avoids the attack his old man returns and gets even meatier.

Neither mine nor my old man's. Yuki's sword trajectory is fast anyway. If it's just speed, it's over the old man's.

But perhaps that's a buy of time. An eye that fits just for a moment says stand up to me.

Almost killed a corpse and treated me badly.

... Oh, I'll meet your expectations. I'm not dead yet.

Forced to move and stand up a body that doesn't listen.

A good amount of bleeding was wetting the front of my body. My original rag is a worn rag.

I didn't faint well with this amount of bleeding. I guess he's not dead because he had some improvement in his abilities due to his status.

I got up, but we can't meet like this properly. Thinking of it, something flew in from Yuki.... cards.

Receive, scream without even checking what it is.

"Materialization!!"

A light emitting phenomenon occurs from the card. Now if it was goblin meat, I'd punch him later.

Of course, there is no reason for that, and the one that was materialized was the < Low Quality Potion > vial.

Open the lid of a bottle smaller than the nutritional drink sold in the convenience store and stir it all at once.

The moment I drank it up, that was all that stopped the bleeding. And little by little, but the power returns. It was an explanation for the gradual recovery, but this alone seems to manage to move.

It has restored physical damage as well as HP. This is expensive and natural.

Looking at Yuki, he was still meeting his sword.

... How many seconds have you had since then? It's been more than ten seconds. Did he take care of himself in the meantime?

No, he probably mastered something, too. Even as far as I can see, it moves differently.

Do it, Yuki.

And my vision shows the message again.

[Skill Attitude Control has been mastered]

[Skill 'Emergency Avoidance' mastered]

Two more skills acquisition indications.

... I'll do it, too.

Yuki's meeting with the old man is out of balance due to the broken sword Yuki was using.

"Wow!

"Wow!

The old man's kick was released to Yuki, and, of course, the yuki he ate was blown back as it was, flying over here.

But did Yuki take it deliberately, releasing a knife from the air towards the lizard old man trying to chase him?

"Whoa!!"

The old man was also impressed, inevitably the knife plundered and his leg stopped.

Yuki stays on that momentum and lands when she flies up to me. He's like a cat, even though he looks like a rabbit.

"Ouch, Materialization!!"

Materialize the two cards you put out of your nostalgia as you smile at the pain. Two little swords.

... eh, do you use these two? Duplicant?

"Tsuna, are you okay? Can you go?"

"Oh, I can go. Blood stopped, too."

I thought I'd come in and help, but before I did, the situation stopped. The lizard old man hasn't attacked me yet either.

"After that Power Slash, my uncle stopped moving. I think I have some hard time with that. … maybe some time to build up before activation"

Oh, so Yuki can cut in?

I thought there was some cost, but do you have the hoarding time and post-move rigidity like a fighting game? Will MP be consumed as well?

"... you, duplicitous?

"I just learned Acrobat and Space Grasp, and Little Swordsmanship. Looks like he's leveled up, and now I feel like I can go.

Because I really need a lot of trouble to attack that uncle. "

"Right."

If you have enough arm strength, can you handle it?... No, this guy's starting to feel like doing something about it.

"This is Swordsmanship, Posture Control, and Emergency Evasion. Better hope than just now."

"Do it. Something made me feel stronger in this fight all at once."

Must be.

When I looked at the count, I had just under 7: 00 left. Super long.

"Aren't you guys a little crazy? I don't remember those pom-pom-pom skills!

My old man was pretty. No, I don't.

The course said it was easy to acquire skills in the dungeon, but only slightly. As far as the old man's reaction is concerned, I guess this mastery rate is unusual.

Honestly, I don't have a clear idea why I'm here to learn a lot of skills. Maybe it's because his ability to be an old man is isolated opponent.

But definitely the difference with the old man narrowed. I feel close to where I can clearly reach them, albeit with restricted opponents.

"Besides, I'm gonna throw you a poison knife or something, and you're gonna carry all this noise in Rookie's habit. I don't have the magic to treat poison."

"Was that a poison knife? You're lucky."

You didn't know that either.... Oh, the knife out of the chest just now.

I wonder if my handcuffs can be used for something, too. Old man, you don't feel like you can wear it because you're moving fast.

"Uh, stop it. Stop it, the look is over. We'll do everything we can from here."

- Action Magic: Physical Boost

- Action Magic

- Action Magic: Sharp Edge

- Action Magic: Maximum Power

Your skills are activated to keep you up and your old man's body glows.

Oh, what's that, auxiliary magic? Are you still empowering yourself from here?

"Hey, hey, isn't that very unpopular? Uncle."

"Ugh, Rookies!

I'm a veteran, albeit with limited abilities, so let's deal with this at our leisure.

What, you're acting like a stranded mad boss.... You're not going to transform or anything, are you?

"Look, right now I'm poisoned and my HP is continuously decreasing. Normally, the passive ability to activate natural recovery is limited by LV, so there is no cure."

I wonder what you're exposing.

"If we run out of HP at this speed, we'll lose all of our HP in less than three minutes. So for the next three minutes, come with all your might.

Bear it out for three minutes or lose all your HP, you guys win. And then you take the destroy bonus. "

I see. You mean the poison shortened the limit.

In addition, it means that additional damage can be reduced. I guess it's an old man's encouragement that he told me everything.

"By the way, uncle, I was just wondering."

"What the fuck?"

"Is it just poison, damage to HP?... Normally, it affects the body itself, right?

Is that what you're asking now?

Sure, I doubt it either, but from what I've found out, nothing has affected the situation right now...

... No, is this guy buying time?... No, it's good. What a little guy. Do more.

"... That's you, poison isn't one type. The effects of poison as a status anomaly are all the same, but other than HP decreases, they also reflect effects that do not appear in the status depending on the type of poison.

I'm still losing my strength... You're buying time, you son of a bitch. "

"It's too late to notice, uncle!

When Yuki says so, he slaps something on the ground that he had already taken out.

That's a smokescreen that generates a lot of smoke the moment it's tapped to the ground!

"Whoa, you dirty bastard!

"Shut up. You should win."

That said Yuki throws something more at the old man who is surprised by the smokescreen.

"Ugh!

The old man, whose vision was getting worse, seemed to have taken that direct hit while he was wrapped in smoke. I don't see him, but he screamed.

We're just moving from the spot to a smoky spot.

"Ghaaaa!! Yikes, no! My eyes hurt. Eh! What the hell!! What the hell?"

"It is an egg filled with stimulants in large quantities. Garlic."

It's not garlic. Why are you suddenly acting like a ninja, you?

"And, hey, knock it off, it hurts!

I hear screams from the smoke.

We moved slowly through the smoke.

"Yuki, aren't you terrible at everything?

"There's no damage. I guess I can earn a minute!

Yuki releases a bow in pursuit. Super bad.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's dangerous. Eh! What the fuck!

"I restrain myself as I move. When the smoke clears, it's a fight."

"Okay."

Yuki disappeared into the smoke.

I mean, what's going on with this smokeball? I'm throwing up a lot of smoke.

It's always dangerous, if you stay still, don't be identified. Should we move it just in case?

-5-

After a while, the smoke cleared up.

There's more than a minute left until the time the lizard old man said it would be just as difficult to buy any more time.

Now I see the old man. Yuki hit it or about three arrows are stabbed. Later, something weird snapped on it.

You won't even see the object in the smoke, how did you guess? Not now, but he's amazing.

"Heh, heh,... I'll kill you"

The old man's voice was trembling in anger, even though his body was discolored because of the poison.

That would make you angry. Even I get angry.

But there's nothing wrong with what he did. I just took the means I could take.

Yuki pinched the lizard old man and was on the diagonal.

He seems weak with poison, and if it had been until earlier, I would have set him up at the same time as Yuki, but I'm concerned about all kinds of boosts.

It would still be the right way to fight this place if I stood in front of him and he was playing.

In fact, Yuki also looks at me and complains like that...

"Well..."

It's a re-division.

As a result of my many shots, I set up a worn out sword and pack my distance with my old man.

"Oh, they're not bad, if time buying is effective, that's the right thing to do. But, Rookie, this is the first time they've made a fool out of me."

"No, I'm not bad, Iss. Mostly he's the killer."

"You're guilty of the same crime!

My old man jumped on me.

The movement lacked excellence, unlike before, but because of the auxiliary magic, the speed is much higher.

Are you going to stop with the first shot, that song knife emits dull light. Probably an example skill.

"Wow!!"

- Action Skill: Power Slash

The slaughter released from the old man's sword, I see, is fast.

It will probably be impossible to visualize the outbreak before dodging it. At least for me now.

But unless you know it's coming. Just avoid it at the right time.

The auxiliary effect has increased the speed of slaughter, but it still succeeds in stunning hair.

By the way, if there's another skill option, or more speed, it's out even if you get shot straight from the front like this.

It's a bet based on the assumption that hopefully this is the only way to use it due to restrictions. It is like a beating that only works in this exam.

After a critical old man's power slash, I wave my sword at the horizontal giraffe to determine the counter I was after.

The old man looks stunned at the unexpected avoidance.

That attack, aimed at a slight stiffness time after the skill was activated, hit and sharpened the old man's HP. It's almost a clean hit to say the first time in this fight.

I can't see how much it shredded, so I don't know, but this should have shrunk my time even more.

"WOW!!... Nah, it's certainly not my first look - I don't have a choice up there, but I'll avoid it."

"No, coincidentally"

"You obviously were after the counter!

All right, about this simple provocation, you've got blood on your head. It would help if you could lose sight of Yuki at this rate.

It's my job to fight head-on. Why don't you just keep looking at me?

Calm down, set up a sword.

You don't have to bother attacking him from here. Unless the poison is a bluff, if time goes by like this, you win.

... It's hard to even think of bluffing when you look at that flirtatious state. I feel a lot of sorrow.

You're in a hurry because of the time limit, it's over there you've been attacking. It's faster and more powerful, but much easier to spot than it was at first.

Is it the effect of Posture Control? There is an increased sense of stability in the posture when waving the sword. I could even recognize minor changes in posture that I hadn't noticed before.

The skill effects of Swordsmanship can be even more precise, more accurately recognizing where the sword should be pointed, and drawing sword muscles.

No matter how many veteran opponents, they were stronger in the position of being able to meet each other equally if they were old men with limited abilities.

If you don't have a hidden ball, you're just gonna end up shooting at me like this.

Pulling out the old man's sword wall isn't as easy as ever, but this one can afford it if it's in a position to avoid fatal injuries. If you shoot "Power Slash" with one or eight, it's the counter.

And there's no way Yuki would shut up about the current state of antagonism.

"Ha!

Just saying where the hell did you show up from, running that sword from the blind spot.

I was the only one antagonizing it. One Yuki sword that goes up at speed, no, I can't pull it just as fast as two more.

Though two small swords, duplicity is not a technique that can be mastered quickly, but its appearance is unique.

Maybe the only thing he said he felt he could do now was he already had a basement where he could do it and didn't have enough arm strength.

The sword wall, thought to be an iron wall, begins to burst slightly, with one, two blows and more damage.

Understand as you overlap attacks. This old man is a monster after all. Sure, it's a hit, but thick HP and scaly walls keep us from attacking, and we don't have a clean hit at work.

Being able to deal with the two of them and stick with them in a dull situation demonstrates the anomaly of the old man.

You can't let this monster out in a trial!

"Nah nah!!"

Finally, it was beautiful, and the old man's sword glowed green.

However, as long as it is a Power Slash, there are no more elements that cannot be avoided than confirming the start of the move.

It's okay, if it's going to be used from the front no matter how soon, I won't hit it anymore. I can even afford to observe what position it will be released and what trajectory it will draw.

Avoid it with less risk than the second time.

And then, at the same time as I was just saying, "Will that happen at this moment?", a system message appeared in my sight.

Old man looking back at me not pursuing and releasing "Power Slash" again. I'm excited about the feeling of self-abandoning shit because I can't even make a situation decision already.

I intercept it from the front...

"Power Slash!!"

- Action Skill: Power Slash

I just activated a skill I just learned.

-6-

"... Totally unbelievable, Rookie."

The old man talked it out while he demonized it and turned its appearance into fog.

Is it a production, or the speed with which it takes to demonize is long.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't think you'd hit a shitball."

"I knew it was shit. Damn. Whoa... I shouldn't have asked..."

Too harsh.

"Well, I've been wanting to kill a lot of students, but have you learned, Rookie?"

"Oh, yes,... well, thank you"

"Thank you"

I don't know how serious you were, but this old man is a veteran, too. At the end of the day, I was in a runaway mood, but you must have helped me out.

If it was my original strength, there would be a difference between my hands and my legs, and he bothered to limit my abilities and become an examiner.

The benefit is enormous. If it were true, I would have had an experience that I couldn't possibly have gained in this place.

"Nevertheless, if it's going to end over time, I didn't think I'd lose. There's hardly a rookie who can use Power Slash. Not to mention, I can't believe I remember it during the trial."

I guess that's because you showed me that three times. It may also affect the influence of the Swordsmanship mastered and what has been received by this person.

"Uh, tuna's better, you hang in there."

"Yes."

"Yuki, I won't let you. I'm gonna nominate you for a rookie fight and kill you!

"Huh? Ah, yes"

Yuki replied with no good idea and the lizard old man disappeared.

... What is it about newcomers fighting?

"No, you were strong. It wasn't a little spiffy."

"It's true. Two or three layers were no big deal, but all of a sudden it got too difficult."

With all these fights, labyrinth city adventurers will be even stronger.

"My uncle seems to have gone for it and become the boss, so I don't think it's this difficult every time.... but now you may have seen the first clear. I learned a lot of skills to be a little stunned."

"Skills......, you must have remembered them because they're old"

I didn't come here to train, I came here to kill the bees.

It is possible that the dungeon is subject to mastery correction, but it would not have been possible to acquire skills at such a speed if they had done so normally.

If it was a game, it would have been a flashing picon. It is an old lizard dojo.

"No, you, you didn't remember duplicity?

The last one appeared to be like this.

"Hihi, I remember. The card only shows the same five cards, but it's called Little Sword Erudite. Wow, let's keep going ninja."

I used smoke balls and stuff.

Do ninjas pass in this city?

"I remember a lot of tuna, and we're going to the fifth level like this, right? You're not gonna tell me you're leaving, are you?

"That's exactly what I'm saying. When I get here, I'm gonna make a big debut."

[Trial Dungeon Attacked Tier IV Hierarchy Boss]

[The Boss Trial's Attack earns a Level Up Bonus only for challengers below LV4]

The announcement will tell you the completion of the attack.

[As a four-layer Boss Destruction Bonus, Skill Orb: "Nursing" and commemorative items will be provided]

Speaking of which, you said you had a bonus when you destroyed it.

In the middle of the area, a treasure chest for both of us appeared.

When I opened the lid that there would be no trap either, it contained a palm-sized crystal sphere. I guess this is the one called Skill Orb.

Can I remember my skills when I use this?

Looking to the side, Yuki was either after using it already or the orb was gone. He is without hesitation, anyway.

"" Nursing!! "

You point at me and say it to little named detectives or just reversing lawyers. Do you need that behavior?

"Ooh, I see Tuna's name and HP.... That's all. But I guess it's much better than not."

"Right, pretty different if you know HP"

I get a skill orb so I can learn my skills too.

... How do you use this?

"I could have used it if I thought of something."

"I see."

You found yourself in trouble, and a help boat came out of Yuki.

As I was told, when I say "use," the skill orb disappears. A system message is displayed.

[Skill 'Nursing' mastered]

I saw it many times in the fight earlier. That's it.

When activated towards Yuki to try, the name, HP, is displayed. MMO-RPG array. Unfortunately, I don't see any MP or other information.

The HP display is also just a bar, and the numbers don't seem to show up.

"Maybe this is something I can easily remember after my debut. It's too generic."

"Well, you know," I can remember just a little bit ahead of you. "Sounds like a target."

It's just a little pricey if you get it later, or you need to attack the quest extra.

"Uh, sounds like you're going to keep losing MP while it's active. It doesn't matter because we don't have the means to consume MP right now, but if you're going to use magic, be careful. There's less strawberry cancer."

"Does it feel like it will only activate a little at the time of confirmation? So you need to practice not naming your skills, but activating them aggressively."

Like Mr. Chitta's Materialization, which I showed you on the ground floor, or your old man's Power Slash.

"So is Tsuna's Power Slash. I want to learn before the dungeon boss if I can."

"Well, if you can't be aggressive, you're in trouble."

I guess it's a voice boot for that, but it's more convenient to start it without it.

Whether the message is displayed or not, I don't need to bother to speak up and declare what to use, and I don't want to raise my voice in a scene of surprise or anything.

"Speaking of which, what's a souvenir? There were only crystal spheres earlier."

"It was emptier on me, too.... there's a card in Tuna's chest."

When I was told to look at it, there was a card where the skill orb was located.... Was it underneath?

"I guess it's not a big deal because it's about a souvenir.... Which one?

With that said, Yuki takes out the card inside. That's my chest.

"This is terrible..."

Yuki's card to this one depicted a lizard old man who wrote 'The Remnants of Lizardman'.

That's a black joke you can only make in this labyrinth city. Sure, he's dead, but he should come back to life...

"I'll look for my uncle later and give you this"

"Stop it for me."

You, even if you're just making money, Hate, you'll get more eyes.

"Well, Mr. Chitta will be waiting, so shall we go now? You can do whatever you want with the remains."

"Uh... I don't need one either"

There's only one more trial left.

If this happens, we'll set the fastest record and stutter Mr. Chitta, the lizard old man, and the Philos.

... I can't help it because I just got here, but I don't know many people.
