"I get chilly when I get close... do you see my pale face...? I feel terrified..."

I don't see him, but Nil makes an unusual and scared voice.

"I've just heard... that if you don't use the light, you won't be attacked..."

In fact, even if you're talking like this now, Shummena is not getting close or attacking.

"... or what happened to Gonzo?

I can't see, so if I can't hear, I don't even know where I am.

If Shumena doesn't attack, we're rather afraid of each other. I'd like to be as careful as possible not to attack each other while talking to each other...

"Hey, Gonzo?

"Hya! Why not?!

"Gonzo...?

It's a strange word, and my voice is turning upside down like never before... maybe...

"Is Gonzo bad at Shummena...?

"Hey! Don't do that!!

"Is it because you feel strange words in the festivals...?

"Ugh...."

"You don't have to be embarrassed, though, do you?

"... well... when I was little, I was taught that if I did something bad, Shumena would swallow me up..."

Is it an image of a bald beard or a hungry ghost...? Don't you know the identity and ecology of Shummena to the Ghost tribe, or perhaps their unintelligibility leads to fear?

Does it mean that the fear that was input when I was little still remains today? I didn't have one, but I know. I wonder if there are a lot of people.

Well, that means you're afraid of the special effects of appearance and chills.

"Well, if it really stays dark, won't it attack?

"Rato went on alone, I'm sure of it.

Shumena is a type of A rank monster that is considered quite dangerous due to the rarity of barely showing up and the fact that many people have not come back from being drunk in the dark after being found.

Although it was good because Rato knew about Shumena's ecology and the fear when it emitted the light, if Rato didn't stop Nil, he would have chills in a different sense.

"Still, I can't really see anything..."

I can't see Nil or Gonzo or even my own hands just because I hear a voice.

"Nh!!

I can hear Gonzo's breathing from my left hand.

After a few seconds, the sound of rubbing your clothes and shaking your sword. Looks like he's shaking his sword into the dark clouds... then we're in danger.

"Oooh! Gonzo, calm down! If it hits us, it'll be dangerous!

"I'll be glad to see you by yourself!!

"All right! Calm down and deal with it! Shummena doesn't know that you haven't been attacked by so much noise!

"Ugh... that's not true..."

Gonzo replied with a trembling voice, sounding as he took a deep breath, followed by silence for a few seconds.

"Let's cum!

Boom!

In the quiet room, the voice of a short tone and the sound of a sword shaking. And....

"Gahhhhhhhhh!!

A cry that combines high and low voices sounds like a synthesis of female and male voices echoes throughout the room.

"Su, that's a great voice..."

"Gonzo, are you okay?

"... I may have been a little bit..."

"Dirty?!

"That's not how surprised I am!

I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to prove it...

"Nh!!

Now Nil takes a breath as to whether he felt chilly or not.

"Haa!

Zashh!

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"S, I'm a little scared... but I can take it down.

Looks a little scared, but better than Gonzo at all.

Next time it's your turn, my whole body will be wrapped in chills, and my whole body will stand upside down from the tip of my feet to the tip of my head.

Evidence of being approached by Shumena.

However, even if you look around, you can't see what it looks like.

……………

No matter how many times you look, it's just chills. Strangely, he feels something and looks back.

"Huh?!

I almost screamed without thinking.

Looking back, there was a pale expression of anguish at a position of several tens of centimeters that made me wonder if I was in hell.

I really don't have hair, eyebrows or eyelashes just on my face. The open eyes were bloody, and the eyes were black as holes.

Her expression is strongly distorted and her yellow teeth are peeling out.

Shortly after you bounce your shoulders, cut off your face.

Zashh!

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The face that was cut in half raised the scream and vanished with its mouth wide open vertically.

"Even if you don't have a brush from a small age, you're scared..."

Gyaaaaaaaaa!

Gyaaaaaaaa!

I hear screams of grief everywhere. It seems Rato has begun to defeat Shumena.

"We're going to take him down too.

"Yes."

"I'm not scared!

Gonzo couldn't help but scream in the room for a while.

"Rato, what do you say?

...... yeah! They're all gone!

"Okay.

After checking the lat, use the light.

Lighting up inside the room is a simple square room.

The hard skeleton bones are falling and nothing else. However, it is narrower than a room on the beginner level.

"It was a nasty room..."

"I'm sorry again..."

Thus the eighty-first hierarchy completed its suppression.

But honestly, I'm not very happy. This darkness should continue until at least the eighty-fourth level.

Even if I open the door, I can't even see what kind of monster I'm dealing with. It's too dangerous to fight in such a place.

"Rato, can you tell me what kind of guy you're dealing with as soon as you get into the room?

If it seems dangerous, turn around and plan a countermeasure.

Okay!

As you check, the room slowly brightens up.

"Ah, it's getting brighter... right?

"... that's right..."

"Maybe it was Shumena's magic that was dark?!

Gonzo is right. Perhaps Shumena was blocking the light emitted by the stone with dark magic.

"I thought you were a monster who loved the darkness... but you were a monster who created the darkness..."

In a room where darkness has vanished. It was dark and I couldn't grasp the perspective, but it was about 40 meters square. There is no particularly unusual structure.

"I'm glad it was Shumena and Hardskalton... but if it was any other monster, it might have been pretty dangerous..."

"In that darkness, the feeling of rats depends..."

A terrible opponent, but I think those who broke through here lit a multispectral light and defeated the approaching Shumena.

Rat wasn't there, and I don't think there was such a sharp player.

If so, the opponent who has to push the force but can't win... If it was a bad combination, maybe it was...

Well then, let's go next!

Shit.....

The eighty-second level.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr...."

As soon as I entered the room, I heard a roar and a black wolf in the room.

Black Wolf.

Rato is a monster who originally acted together and is the original figure of Rato himself.

This dungeon contains a large number of A-rank monsters. I knew we'd meet somewhere, but... here we are again...

……………

Rato is staring at nearly thirty black wolves who are just occupying the room without saying anything.

One meter tall, one and a half meters long. A black, glossy, hairy wolf, to say the least.

Emotions... are complicated things that cannot be said.

I think it's definitely different from the herd I belonged to... but it's still the same species, and if my body didn't grow or my hair color didn't change, I'd still be acting together.

The emotion is conveyed directly. So... even if you know you're an enemy, you can't honestly point your sword at me.

"Sinya, thank you. But since I met the Sinja and got over it... it's okay.

Lat, who was in front of me, looked me in the eye with his face facing away.

I didn't feel lost in the amber eyes.

"... okay. But... at least I'll kill you without pain.

"... thank you.

The bee and the charging rat disappear, and several of the black wolves in front of him break their necks and die instantly.

Zashh!!

My sword cuts off the neck of the black wolf that comes at me.

It's the same with Gonzo and Nil. Defeat all the Black Wolf while aiming for an emergency.

There will be no dead individual in agony.

For the time being, as a B-rank monster, there was an aside slime arranged, but it didn't matter much.

Please use the materials carefully.

"I know.

Store all blackwolf fur, meat, bones and teeth in the inventory.

I tried to ask Rat if he was okay, but he forced me to shut my mouth.

Rat said it was okay. I decided it was not good to hear any more.

Shit.....

We went to eighty-three levels.

There is only one monster in the eighty-third level.

"This guy...."

Topazbird stands in the center of the room.

A rare species of rockbird.

I've never seen anything like it.

The total length is slightly larger than that of Rockbird, about three meters.

It is characterized by the fact that all the stones wrapped in the epidermis are made of a mineral called Topaz.

Topaz is one of the most famous jewels in the original world, it is the birthstone of November, and many people will typically imagine yellow to amber jewelry.

However, Topaz exhibits a wide variety of colors depending on the micrometals it contains.

Brown, pink, yellow, amber, brown, green, and colorless.

And it's the same with Topaz Bird standing in front of him.

Randomly scattered topaz of different colors color the epidermis, shining and sparkling under the soft light emitted from the stone.

The same situation as when the horn rabbit rare species emerged. This is probably a kind of bonus room.

Topazbird was extremely rare and was known among players as the "bird of happiness".

It simply meant the clover-like existence of four leaves... but it was also called that in another sense, as you can see from the fact that everything that was wrapped around the surface of the body was a gem.

There must have been only a few players who fought this Topaz bird during the game.

"You're a beautiful monster..."

It looks flashy, sparkly and beautiful... but it's against an A-ranked monster. No matter how many bonus rooms they have, they will fight back.

And this mineral called Topaz is much harder than I thought.

Morse hardness in the original world.

Although the relative hardness is whether scratches occur when scratched with specified minerals, the highest point of this hardness is the diamond, which boasts a hardness of 10 Morse hardness. Corundum like sapphires and rubies come underneath, and underneath that, Morse hardness eight is this topaz.

It is only the hardness at the time of scratching, and it is not an indicator of whether or not it can be crushed by impact such as a hammer. Many people are mistaken, but if you hit a diamond with a hammer, it will break normally. Because it is not strong against impact.

But the weapon we use is a blade. The hardness at the time of scratching becomes more important than crushing.

In other words, in Morse hardness, I challenge Topaz to win a bronze medal with my sword...

If so, you might want to shatter it with a hammer-like impact… but that's too much to waste. You don't have to do that, you can take it down.

What should I do? That's.....

Delicious Shiso!

"Stop eating!?

Even so, it was about to become a prey to Rat's appetite, but I managed to stop it and draw a magical formation.

Used is the Intermediate Wood Magic Wood Bind. It is the superior compatibility magic of Evie Bind.

When the magic team glows in yellow and green, the flexible tree stretches from the feet of Topaz Bird, who is about to fly, and wraps around his body.

The wooden binding also wraps around the topaz bird's feathers, and as it approaches the neck, it tightens its neck.

Stifled to death. That's how Topazbird was fought.

Though Topazbird is good at earth magic, the trees produced by wood binding are flexible, so earth magic is hard to detach.

In fact, we are using some earth magic towards Woodband in front of us, but all of it is undeveloped.

I thought I could try a few times in this chamber, even if I didn't succeed once... but I succeeded in one shot.

"Nh, for some reason, I don't feel so pathetic..."

Looks like he's killing a unilaterally irresistible monster, and I don't know how he feels, but... it just looks easy because I knew how to crush him, and he's an A-ranked monster.

I can hardly hurt anyone but a striking weapon such as a hammer, and if I'm touching it, it will be ravaged by earth magic. And....

"The meat we're eating is killing monsters and eating them the same way. Materials are used in weapons, armor, and various parts of life, and the same thing.

"Well, that's certainly true, but..."

If they say it's a story without a lid or a body, it might be, but that's the reality of this world... no, that was the same thing in the original world. It's just that I feel very familiar with it in this world.

"Besides, I can't move forward unless I take him down.

Kachan.....

I can hear the door lock open.

Can you eat this?

"That sparkling gem... I can't eat it because it's a gem. I can eat meat.

Meat!

Happy rats. The size of the horn rabbit rare species is less than a bite of rat, but this size seems like it can be eaten separately, so why don't we have dinner?

From what I've heard, it looks as colorful as it looks. Meat, by the way, is a luxury.

"Let's go where we can to eat this guy.

Yes!

Collect all of Topazbird's materials and we'll move on.

84th Hierarchy.

Here comes the A-Rank Monster Red Snake. A total of ten and two B Rank Monster Hungry Mantis.

I've fought both, and it's been relatively easy to clear in the senior hierarchy so far.

The eighty-fifth floor continues in the middle boss's room.

Shit.....

Bhuhuhu!

When you enter the room, you hear a violent exhalation.

Standing in the center of the room are two minotaurs.

The head is a cow type monster.

The hair that covers not only the head, but also the whole body is brown, a monster characterized by a thick and powerful twisted corner. The total length increased the size of the big man by about one more turn. However, its strength is far removed from that of man.

Among A-ranked monsters, it is a monster that is famous as a monster with both power and speed.

The power and speed are outstanding… but they are organized in high dimensions and, above all, the Minotaur uses weapons.

The two men in front of them also have stone axes that are the same as the walls and floors. A stone axe... may be a disgrace. The size is called a stone axe, which is not comparable. The blade part of the axe is so big that I don't know how many kilometers it is.

Minotaur…

Nil has a slightly bitter face.

From my point of view, if my Minotaur opponent asks if Nil can destroy it alone... it's a bit subtle.

Nil's style is based on speed for power-oriented opponents, good defense for speed-focused opponents, and defeating enemies. However, Minotaurs have a high overall status. It's a bit hard to push with speed or defense.

Perhaps Nil can now deal with him on his own… a critical line.

"It's okay. Nil can do it now.

"Master...."

Although she seems a little anxious, Nil nods deeply once because of my words.

"Ok!

Shuin!!

Nil rubs the pale fireworks against the shield of black flowers and scatters sparks.

It is a common hand used to intimidate monsters.

"Buffoo!!

Two minotaurs running their eyes bloody and looking at Nil. When these two attack Nil at the same time, the story changes.

"Uhhhhhhh!

Gonzo can bark when he understands it.

Minotaur couldn't ignore the volume, and he turned towards Gonzo.

I'm Nil's, Rato's in Gonzo's cover.

It is hard for Nil to be directly attacked by the Minotaur. You'll want to use your legs, magic, and items to flirt and defeat them.

"I'm coming!

Nil comes forward.

Bhuhuhu!

A snorting Minotaur holds a stone axe and prepares for Nil's attack.

First Nil starts.

Remove the item from the waist bag. First of all, I wonder if it is controlled by items.

"Haaah!

He hides the movement of his right hand with a shield of black flowers and is careful not to know what to do. I was able to deal with the person I thought was stronger than myself quite calmly, and it was a good slide out.

Minotaur, who was determined to come in while holding his shield, waved a large stone axe and covered himself.

Nil sees it, flying backwards with all his might, throwing the vial out of the waist bag.

It's a feint I use a lot. It's a little rough, but it should be enough against Minotaur.

The thrown vial is an explosive vial. It's not about targeting damage, it's about targeting it.
