We have a level system in place for mankind.

Little Rex is not dead. I used [Spear Throw], which Kawai became available at Skill Level 2 of "Geomaneuvering". A spear made of stone appeared in the air and flew towards the dinosaur.

The stone spear is down. Hit the neck of Little Rex. At the next moment, the dinosaur giant broke down into particles and turned into as much cardiac stone as a tennis ball.

I approached Kawai and tried to speak up and noticed something strange. Kawai is solidifying as he stands. Apparently, he's leveled up.

He stopped speaking to Kawai and picked up the heart stone. It's a heart stone of fire.

Kawai, whose movement was stopped, moves out and exhales heavily.

"After all, level up is tight"

I praised Kawai rarely.

"You can stand still now, isn't that splendid?"

"Heh, naturally."

I remembered Kawai when he was hurting by rolling around the ground. Humans are things that change. But since I heard that strange voice, I felt that the change had intensified.

Captain Kumada and Misaki are approaching us.

"Cozillow, what is that power?

When it comes to power, do you mean the power of the limbs? It is a move that is now unconsciously activated.

"I guess it's because I used Qigong in leveling and 'Xiao Zhoutian'"

"Qigong? I've never heard of such skills. You had some rare skills."

As for the skills related to qigong, it seemed to be the first ear.

Captain Kumada is looking at my spinning stick.

"What happened to that baton?

"It's what I got by accident"

"Where did you get that?

"I can't tell you that"

"Why not. If there's another weapon, there's a better chance the mission will succeed."

"I don't think so. You don't have time to go get your weapon. Besides, there's only one weapon."

Captain Kumada snorted reluctantly. As Captain Kumada, I guess he wanted a powerful weapon, not only for this operation, but also in preparation for the battle against the foreign beasts that would happen in the future.

We started going again and ran into another Little Rex.

"Now it's us."

Another team of explorers, incorporated into the Guardian Crusade Squad, came forward.

This team was a five-man team focused on a 30-year-old or so named Ibashi. The team is characterized by four searchers with 'manipulative flames'.

They had a series of [blast blasts] of "manipulative flames". He fell to the ground, as Little Rex, who was attacked about six times, did his best. At the end of the day, Ibashi uses "Thunder Blast" from "Thunder Fucking Techniques".

[Thunder blast] was an attack of dropping lightning from the sky. Lightning and thunder sounded, hitting Little Rex's chest. Looks like the lightning currents burned the heart out.

The power of this [lightning blast] is amazing, but it was a pretty flashy and noisy offensive move. So much so that I'm worried that the other Little Rex won't notice and come together.

We started climbing mountain slopes again. Retain the two Little Rex you encountered along the way. We found three Little Rex roaming near the entrance to Caldera.

"Ask for those three"

Captain Kumada instructed us and the Ibashi team. Apparently, only a special elite team split up here will break into Caldera.

"We'll take them down, Mr. Ibashi and the others will ask for one."

"Can we do this alone?

"Leave it to me."

"When I'm done, I'll go back to my support."

Ibashi and the others headed for one Little Rex. At that time, the special elite team was beginning to move on to Caldera.

We move into a position that protects the back of a special elite team. Little Rex noticed us and ran over.

"Elena, please"

Elena squeezed her bow in my voice. A bursting arrow was released, hitting Little Rex's hips and exploding. The giant dragon melts out of balance.

I ran off distracted by the spinning stick. A giant nail strikes from overhead when approaching a giant dragon. In response to the attack, he slammed the spinning stick into his thick leg.

Flesh pieces and fluid splashed as if it had exploded from the giant dragon's thigh. Little Rex, who can no longer support that giant, falls to the ground on the sidelines.

Muto unleashed the [Windspeed Spear] of "Manipulative Wind". A clear spear flies at high speed and pierces the abdomen of a giant dragon. "Manipulative style" is fast, but doesn't seem powerful enough.

Elena continuously releases a bursting arrow. Three bursting arrows hit and explode into the hips, abdomen, and neck of a giant dragon. A burst arrow hit his last neck became a fatal blow.

I hit another Little Rex. At that time, take the weapon to the Shadow Blade Sabel. I wanted to make sure which weapon was working.

Using the Shadow Blade Servel will sharpen your mental strength. I hate that feeling and I don't use this guy much when hunting. I stretch my shadow blade using the interference in darkness that I gain from my skills in "Manipulative Darkness".

Something like a black stick about four centimeters in diameter forms an extended shadow blade about a meter.

I was wondering if this shadow blade was any kind of special force field. That said, it's an ambiguous thing to feel like that because you don't have a high level of expertise.

Slip the shadow blade into the flank of the giant dragon as Little Rex advances. The shadow blade changes like a thin razor blade and eats into the flank muscles and slashes them.

That's when I felt resistance. Resistance I didn't feel when I felled the trees or when I cut the torso of the oak into rings. As a result, the incision of the shadow blade appears to have become shallow.

I couldn't do enough damage because of it. Little Rex waves his hips and swings his long tail like a whip. I rolled to the ground and dodged a tail attack.

"Danger!"

Kawai attacked backup with "geomaneuvering". That moves the animosity of the giant dragon to Kawai. In that gap, I stood up and turned behind Little Rex.

"Elena, aim for your head"

In response to my request, Elena releases a bursting arrow. An explosion occurs at the head of a giant dragon, whose giant swings for a moment. I ran up Little Rex's back.

I climbed to the height of my chest and snapped my neck off with a shadow blade. I felt resistance again, but when I strengthened my willpower, the shadow blade began to dive into the neck of the giant dragon. I felt some energy emanating from my spirit pouring into the shadow blade sabel.

This is the first time I have felt the flow of energy so clearly. I realized that that energy was a force to slash and tear, increasing the power of the shadow blade.

A giant dragon's neck was severed and Don and I fell to the ground.

"Tired"

I was mentally tired and sat down on the spot. Elena rushes over when she sees it.

"Are you hurt?

He looks worried. I shook my head and told him I was mentally tired when I used the shadow blade sabel.

Muto tilted his neck when he heard that.

"Why, you're not so tired of cutting a thick round tooth. What's the difference?

"... I guess that means the dragon is a strong alien beast"

"Hmm, you mean a strong alien beast has some power to resist the shadow blade"

"But if you pour something like willpower out of the spirit into the shadow blade, you can strengthen it? That's strange."

Kawai laughed nicely and said that the power of his spirit was to be called "heart strength".

"I feel like my mind meant the same thing as my mental strength."

Elena's objections were rejected by Kawai. I don't care what it means, he liked the sound.

"What about Mr. Ibashi and the others?

When I asked, a thunderbolt sounded away. Apparently, he defeated Little Rex.

Once, he joined the Ibashi team, but split up to hunt Little Rex. Because the original proposed operation was to hunt Little Rex around Caldera and keep them from gathering around the guardians.

We kept hunting Little Rex one at a time. When he defeated the ninth one, a loud explosion sounded at the bottom of Caldera. I turn my eyes to those who heard a noise with Muto's anxious face.

"What was the explosion noise now?

"I think Misaki and the others are fighting."

"You're a little worried"

I nodded at Elena's words.

"Let's go make sure."

Kawai says. As far as I'm concerned, I agreed. I checked with Elena and Muto and said I was in favor, so I started going down to the bottom of Caldera.
