The world's strongest hard worker

Episode 21 Monster House

As River and the others launched a fast advance, Agito and the others were about to reach the 19th floor.

Haaa!

Agito clears away the C rank monsters that appear along the way.

It was an exhilarating move, but Agito's swordsmanship combined with the delicacy created by repeated practice over and over again.

[Top Swordsman] Even if he had the talent, Agito wouldn't be too slow.

"... hah, hah"

However, Agito was out of breath in the next series.

That should be it.

Agito has defeated almost all of the enemies he has confronted since entering the dungeon alone.

"... are you sure you're okay? If you look like that, you're going to lose to a 20-story Minotaur."

Carina, an A-Rank Adventurer who received this quest for Agito, said worried.

"I don't know what you're talking about... but I'm sure it's okay."

"My mouth is just a minute ago."

"Son of a bitch... this is what I couldn't possibly ask of you. That's why I'm the only one fighting."

I'm stubborn in some weird place ~

These exchanges have already taken place many times, but Agito is not going to rethink them all.

(This is my battle... I won't let anyone get in my way)

Agito defeated River with all his might.

After a bright defeat, Agito sharpened his strength even more.

Agito is not just a loser.

Hold the loss firmly and win next time.

(I'll never lose... If you stop here, you can't be an S-rank adventurer beyond your father.)

"Agito, we're almost at the 20th floor! Good luck!

"I'm here for you!

Two of the remaining party members encouraged Agito.

"Che... shut up!

"Ha, yes!

But Agito yelled at both of them.

Still, they respect Agito younger than they do.

Because the Red Wolf members know Agito well.

Agito and the others reached the nineteenth floor.

The nineteen tiers are easy to avoid monster attacks in a large space and easy to pass through.

Of course, I was Carina, an A-rank adventurer who knew about it, but I felt something strange.

(Too many monsters...? No, it's not. This is....!

"Everybody, monster houses!

When the dungeon is filled with magic elements, it becomes a monster house where a large number of monsters appear.

At the present time, there was only one emergency at the target level of 20 levels.

"Alright, we're almost 19 floors away!

"I'm glad it went well."

"Oh, thanks to Fear, too."

Fear attacks distant enemies before they attack.

The D rank monsters are dealt with before they attack, and the C rank monsters are quite a burden.

"... that's not true."

Fear reacted slightly differently from usual because she always had a gun, but something smelled bad.

Down the stairs to the 19th floor,

"... something's strange."

"... that's right, I felt weird too."

"... maybe something bad is happening."

"Yeah, let's be careful."

"Ah, Feer, keep your guard down, thinking it's not the same hierarchy you've always had."

"I see. But what kind of weirdness do they feel?

"I felt something bad about it. The magic coming from behind is creepy."

I see. It seems that magic elements drifting in the atmosphere are being inhaled into 19 layers. This has never happened in the hierarchy before. "

"... I understand somehow."

And when I went to the 19th floor, Agito and the others were surrounded by many monsters and fighting.

And it's not just a monster.

It also contains B rank monsters that do not occur in the 19 tiers.

"This is... a monster house!

"That's a vicious monster house, too. This amount of monsters will not be seen inside, and unlike normal monster houses, monsters appear in lower levels than here!

Carina said while fighting the monster with her dagger.

The structure of the 19th hierarchy is wide, avoids fighting monsters, and is easy to pass through, but if there are so many monsters, the story is different.

There are about a hundred of them, but it's not strange.

Besides, it is still growing.

"Mr. River! Watch out!"

Carina shouted in a hurry.

The B-rank monster's bicorn was coming straight at us with two corners.

─ ─ I'm aware of it.

Anyway, I'm still trying after Nightmare.

I've already acquired all the skills I was planning to acquire, except Cook.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

○ Skill Area

By thinly filling a certain range of spherical space from you with your own magic, you can instantly sense what has entered into it. The more strength you have, the more you can grow. However, it is difficult to penetrate the liquid and the solid hardly penetrates.

○ Acquisition conditions

Spread magic around yourself in a sphere with a radius of 10 meters or more for 24 hours.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Realm is a useful skill.

The larger the Expanded Area, the more magic will be consumed, but you can see that even if you don't see the space you are expanding for that much, you can get it.

When I visited the 19th floor, I was able to quickly notice the attack of the bicone thanks to the deployment of a 20-meter radius of the Realm.

"Gono Sword"

Cut the bicorn.

After all, "Gono Sword" would be enough for a B-ranked opponent.

"... hahaha, the boulder has only defeated my agit. I don't need it. I think I'm worried."

"No, thank you! I'm on my way."

We were in competition, but we can't say that in this situation.

We must fight together to overcome this predicament.

"... I don't need their help. Get the fuck out of here."

When he joined, Agito said in a mood.

Looking around, there were monsters everywhere.

Defeating it doesn't feel like it's decreasing all the time because monsters are constantly appearing.

I don't know how much it will appear.

In the worst case scenario, the monsters may continue to appear until our health is gone.

However, even if we proceed to the twenty hierarchy, the situation will get worse if we are caught between the Minotaurs and the monsters.

... after all, this is going to have to give way.

"Looks like you're at your limit, but you've got a lot of guts."

"You're selling it in a fight, damn it."

"... I lost. So go to the 20th floor and defeat the Minotaur."

"Ha...?

"Instead, take my people with you. I'm going to stop this by myself."

"Livel, are you serious? It would be futile of you to challenge this number alone."

Kurt said.

"This is the safest way to get through this situation. Besides, I'm not going to destroy all these monsters. It's just until you defeat the Minotaur."

"But...."

"Ha! I'm not convinced that you're letting me win, but I'll tell you about it."

"Then we should increase the number of people in the nineteen tiers. There are monsters out there that are equivalent to Minotaurs."

Kurt won't admit my idea.

"No, I don't think so. Minotaur might be a little special."

Carina said with a sharp expression.

I agree.

"I think so, too. Even though the nineteen levels have been filled with magic elements to such an unusual extent, there is no indication that magic elements are flowing in from the twenty levels. Perhaps the 20 levels are filled with the same magic elements as the 19 levels."

"That's right. If you make a wrong choice, you could end up dead."

"Yes, so leave me alone ─ ─"

So my words were blocked. [M]

"Fufu, I can't pretend to sacrifice River-kun to a boulder. That's not how it works, so I'll stay with you. I don't care what happens to the remaining members."

Agito, Kurt, Fear, and two unknown adventurers.

I do feel like I can handle it.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

That said, Agito went down to the twenty levels to cut the lead, and two unknown people hurried after him.

"... at all, Livel always startled me.... I'll get rid of the Minotaur in no time."

"Yeah, I'm counting on you."

"Mr. River... please don't die."

"Of course, don't let Fear die."

It didn't seem entirely convincing, but Kurt and Feer also went down to the twenty levels.

Come on, let's do our best.

"Yes, let's do our best together"

The C- and B-rank monsters that surround us.

There are many kinds of monsters appearing on these nineteen levels, and it's a hell of a picture.

... hah, I really wanted to fight this many monsters on my own, but I couldn't help it.

Of course there's a reason why I stayed for everyone's safety, but that's not the best reason.

The best reason is that using this monster house can be a special lesson when dealing with multiple enemies.

Most of the time I've fought my opponent one-on-one.

But from now on, we will encounter many others.

Speaking of which, this is a special drill for that.

Fufu... I was lucky enough to meet a monster house.

And the monster's rank is perfect.

─ ─ Now, let me learn.
