The 8th floor …… is a catfish-like creature with a lightning charge.
The crab-shaped mollusk in the sixth floor was defeated by Alena with heavy weight.
The stone golem in the seventh floor was smashed by Uchikage, and the lightning charged catfish in the eighth floor was dealt with by Reizen, so we didn’t have a very hard time……
We were currently in the ninth floor …… fighting a plant-based monster that barely had the shape of a human being.
The plant seems to be a disguised plant that feeds on humans by taking them in, and it seems to attack by disguising itself as the opposite sex,……, so no one was fooled into thinking it was a monster,…… and the fight proceeded.
But this guy is extremely troublesome.
The moment we realized its identity, it disappeared and continued to attack us, freely manipulating the plants that grew around it.
“Hmmph…. it always attacking us by manipulating the plants around it. If we can’t see the weak point or the main body like this, we can’t do anything.”
“Alena is out of MP and couldn’t use her skills.”
“Ugh. ……”
“Uhhm- excuse me! Can you guys argue later-! I’d like…-! I need some help here!”
Reizen tangled and dangling in midair seems to be fine, in addition to it seems to be in good shape, so let’s just leave him alone.
Even the fast Uchiage can’t seem to handle the waves of randomly moving plants like this.
The plants were spreading on the ground as well, making it impossible for Uchikage to make quick attacks as he should have been able to.
Needless to say, Alena was not able to do anything about it.
It would have been possible to do something if its movements were restricted, but there was no point in asking for something that could not be done,…….
“Well, it’s taking too long, so let’s just finish up quickly. ……”
“Ouren-sama. The opponent would be able to control all the plants. Be careful.”
“Okay.”
Well, let’s get serious for the first time in a while.
Although, I have to make sure I don’t do anything to destroy this place, but I’m sure I can manage it.
“[Reamed Water Spear]”
The spear with the highest control and attack power I have is the [Reamed Water Spear].
Stretching the string as if drawing a bow, I released my hand and used the string to uproot the plants and cut them down to the roots.
This plant is strong but does not seem to have any regenerative ability, and it is probably only usable with plants that are fully grown.
The fact that no new plants sprout from the cut plants is the valid proof of this.
If they were all cut off, they would be all over …….
“Hmm?”
“NAAAAAA!”
The plant was dangling Reizen in front of me.
It seems to be trying to use him as a shield.
That means that what I’m doing is not wrong. …… Unfortunately, the plant’s action is wrong.
“Welp. My bad.”
“Uehhhh?!!! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…”
“Multi [Reamed Water Spear].”
I created 20 reamed water spears and crushed each and every plant that came holding Reizen.
I completely cleave the area around the scaffold with the string spears and stretch the string to cut off all the plants.
All the plants were cut down and all fell to the ground.
“Guheee!”
Reizen was also released, and as I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be the main body of the plant, I fired one spear in a straight line, passing right in front of Reizen’s eyes.
The main body of the plant seemed to be very fragile and could be defeated with a single blow.
When the main body was pierced by the spear, all the plants around it seemed to wither and crumble.
“Well, its done~”
Feeling that they were still stunned, I checked to make sure everyone was all right.
“Okay. Everyone is safe.
“Wait a sec Aniki!”
“What?”
“[Everyone is safe] my ass?! We are all safe tho! But That’s not it!”
This time, however, I feel like I had a surprisingly hard time.
If I had known it wouldn’t regenerate, I could have taken care of it sooner.
It would have been quicker if we had used fire, but we couldn’t do that, and yes, it was a troublesome enemy.
Alena’s MP is also running out, so let’s rest here for the time being.
“……”
“Sigh. It seems like I’ve been fighting a big enemy for a long time.”
” You are right. …… how far does this dungeon go?”
“Alena going to sleep.”
“Sure, fine,…….”
Uchikage was certainly curious about what he was saying.
We don’t know how far this dungeon goes.
Alena has made a map of all the floors, so there should be no recording errors, but here alone there are nine floors …… the next will be 10th.
There is no end in sight, and the enemies keep coming up, and since they are all strong, the experience is quite good, but for some reason, not knowing how far it will go makes me uneasy.
I wish it would end at the tenth floor……
“Wait, ……? I’m not sure. If we get to the bottom of this dungeon, how do we get back home?”
“Eh? If it’s a game or something similar, there should be a magic circle or something like that…….”
” There is no other way to get back home. But even if there is nothing, there is a magic stone purchased at the church. We can return with it.”
“Wouldn’t that leave us with no proof that we’ve broken through to the lowest floor?”
“Why don’t we just take something from the lowest floor and go home?”
“Hmm, I suppose so.”
It suddenly occurred to me that it was a matter of no concern.
However,…… it is hard to believe that guild officials sometimes come to places where such powerful enemies appear to replenish the contents of treasure chests.
They are also the only ones who have been able to find a way to get to the surface.
There’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s a strange atmosphere …… that I can’t get rid of.
“Well, things have been going well so far, so let’s take it easy.”
“There is no point in thinking about it. whatever happens, happens. It’s been going well so far, and if there’s no one around, it might be a good idea to fight in snake form for the first time in a while.”
“Oooh, that’s great! Me too, I’ll transform into a tortoise!”
“Eh? Can you transform too, Reizen-dono?”
“……Huh? I haven’t told you?”
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve told anyone about Reizen.
I had already been known to many people that I was a snake, so I didn’t mind, so I didn’t even bother to mention it tabout Reizen.
I was no longer an ordinary snake, but since Uchikage knew that I could evolve, he would not be surprised.
“So, may I transform?”
“Ah- uhmm, Reizen-dono. Alena doesn’t know that Reizen-dono can transform. I think it’s better to discuss this kind of thing with her first…….”
“Well, that is true, when you become a C rank adventurer, you will be able to fight enemies just like that, so you can wait until then. Shall we conquer the dungeon in human form this time?”
“I understand! I’m stronger in human form anyway.”
Reizen’s defensive power is second to none here, and perhaps no one else in the world can beat Reizen.
And then there’s that variety of attack methods.
In addition to his explosive fist, piercing hands, and high defensive skills, he is also good at protecting his companions.
To put it bluntly, he is a cheat.
Which form of me is stronger?
There is no problem either way, because I do more long-range attacks. …… the only skill I can’t use the herculean jaw that I’ve been relying on.
