Thanks to Kaede's magic, we can see underwater, but visibility is not very good.
For the moment, there is no need to worry about breathing as we have the underwater breathing scroll, but since our movements are not optimal underwater, we will not be able to react as fast as usual under a dangerous situation.
Kaede tapped me on the arm.
There seems to be an enemy ahead.
Sharkboy also noticed and became alert.
A large object is approaching ahead.
It moved very slowly and wriggled his body like a fish.
I know what it is.
I saw it once.
It was covered in blue scales, and there were membranes on it's arms and legs.
It had a dorsal fin from head to tail and a catfish-like beard around the mouth.
It is a true born species of blue dragon.
Guowowowowowow.
Its roar made the water tremble.
It is a very dangerous dragon.
Both Kaede and Frau showed concern on their faces.
However, Sharkboy is trying to challenge the blue dragon that has stopped moving from the front without flinching.
Glup-Glup~.
Countless thorns shoot out from Sharkboy's body, and pierced the blue dragon.
I want to try something....
I used the Mega Boost on Sharkboy.
Mekimekimeki.
His body began to swell, rapidly growing stronger.
His pink body turned reddish and eight eye-like protrusions appeared on his back.
In the next moment, a line of red light radiates from his back and penetrates the blue dragon.
What kind of attack is that?!
Sharkboy has terrifying power.
The shark-beast shoves the blue dragon's carcass with its caudal fin, then flaps his mouth and waits for us to arrive.
Panda, I'm glad you didn't see this.
I'm sure you would be very jealous.
We landed, and I had Sharkboy return to the seal.
At the same time, I took Rosuke out. On the other hand, Panda comes out on his own, as usual.
"Ugh, it's so cold."
"I'll dry you right away."
Kaede used magic to dry my clothes in an instant.
I checked the surroundings, but there were no enemies.
There was only one staircase leading to a door upstairs, that must be the surface.
We climbed the stairs and opened the door.
The dreary corridor led back to the rear.
It was unclear how long it had been since we had arrived here.
It was impossible to distinguish day from night.
The only thing I know for sure is that I'm getting closer to the ground where Lisa is.
My mind boggles.
I'm about to fight with Lisa, my ex-fiancée.
This fact is inexplicably sad.
Even now that I know I have been betrayed, I still suspect there is a truth I do not know.
But maybe that's just my own selfish hope.
Just my weak heart trying to believe only what I want to believe.
Toph
Kaede hugged me from behind.
"No matter what choice you make, Master, I will follow you wherever you go."
"Thank you. Kaede."
Let's move forward.
Claaaaank
I reached the first basement level.
I opened the big door.
"I was waiting for you, Toru."
"Sain!?"
We appeared in a large lobby with a staircase leading to the surface.
More than a hundred demons were waiting for me there.
And a smiling Sain who looked at me with his arms crossed.
He looks a little different, wearing jet black armor.
I have a bad feeling about that armor.
There is a frightening air of evil in the air.
"I'm not the same person I was before. I have overwhelming power now. You are no match for me."
"If that's the case, why did you prepare an army of demons? Why didn't you wait for me alone?"
"I've been putting you down too much. I never thought a nuisance like you would level up so fast. So this time I'll do my best to deal with it- Huh? Level 310?"
Sain steps back.
Oh, are you still in the habit of not evaluating your opponent's stats?
When we worked together, I was always in charge of assessing the level of our enemies, and I acted very carefully.
Come to think of it, you have always underestimated your opponents.
"Men, hold them off for a while! Whoever defeats him will be made a general!"
The demons raised their weapons and cheered.
Sain ran through the soldiers and up the stairs.
I think he's heading to where Lisa is.
That's a good thing.
"Kaede, Frau, Panda, and Rosuke. I'll take care of them."
