88 - Episode 5 Light, Level 3000 or so

According to May

I can do most things. That's why I am not a very good fighter.

May says, 'I am not strong,' but when I have a mock battle with her, I can't do anything and lose.

She literally can't even get her hands on it.

She is this strong.

How strong would a level 9999 specializing in combat be?

May is in charge of scouting and obtaining traps, maps, and directions to the dungeon guardian monster at the lowest level of "The Abyss.

What is a dungeon guardian monster?

They are the guardian monsters that protect the dungeon core.

It is said that the most powerful monster is the dungeon core, beyond which the dungeon is said to be maintained, managed, etc.

Beyond the large door that May discovered, she says, "There is a sign of a large monster, roughly level 5000 or so.

From the level of the monster, we can be sure that it is a dungeon guardian monster.

The dungeon guardian monster is usually around level 5,000. If Mei is here, we won't lose, right?

Yes. The moment we entered the room and met, I thought I could use the 'magic string' to break them apart.

...... Still, she's not strong enough, apparently.

I don't get it.

I change my mind and tell her.

I'm going to fight by myself at first for combat training. I'm going to fight alone at first for combat training, so don't knock me down in pieces when we enter the room, okay?"

I understand. However, if we determine that Mr. Light's body is in danger, we will intervene. You must not push yourself too hard.

I know. May is already overprotective.

As a maid, it is only natural for me to protect Mr. Wright's life.

May, more like an older sister than a squire, holds me gently in her arms, nailing me to the ground.

I tried to rebuff her by calling her "overprotective" in my tone, but in reality, I was happy to see her attitude and kindness, as if she were my older sister.

Thus, it was decided that we would fight against the guardian monsters of the "Abyss" dungeon.

Since it was too hasty to go right now, we decided to head there tomorrow when we woke up.

I took a bath with Mei again today and rested my body for tomorrow's battle.

The next day.

After breakfast and getting ready, we moved to the "Nahra" guardian's room in a familiar manner.

On the way, we met some monsters of level 1000-3000, but it was a good preparation exercise. Instead, we beat them.

Since it has been more than a month since I was dropped into the lowest level of the "Abyss," my level has improved, I am well equipped, and the monsters are all familiar to me, so I don't fall behind.

We were able to easily reach the room of protection with the ease of a stroll.

It is a huge door decorated with a hideous relief.

It must be four or five meters high.

I do a light preparatory exercise with the spear "UR, Uragan" in my hand, which is imbued with the attribute of wind.

Mei, I told you yesterday, basically you can't touch it. I'm the one fighting for training at first."

I understand. Remember that I am here to help you if you are in danger, Light-sama, and please don't do anything reckless, okay?"

I already know."

While conversing in a friendly atmosphere as if we were sister and brother, I put my hand on the giant door.

When I touch the door, it opens automatically as if it were opened and closed by a giant.

It was dark inside, but when the door opened, the ceiling and walls lit up.

The room was flooded with so much light that there was no need to worry about the darkness.

The ceiling was high and deep enough.

It was so large that a small village could easily fit inside.

I was the first to enter the room.

Mei followed neatly behind, taking three steps back.

I looked at her and asked, "Is that the dungeon guardian monster from 'The Abyss'?

At the far end of the hall, a huge body with a stocky build was sleeping.

It had red scales that seemed to snap at the mere touch, and nine heads.

When it noticed our presence, it slowly turned its head and let out a low roar.

It had no wings, but its huge body seemed to be about 15 meters long.

Level 5,000, a hydra, they say.

May confirms the information with an appraisal.

The level is as expected.

I am about 2,000 levels away from her.

Considering the difference in level, I would have been defeated without being able to do anything about it.

Before Hydra can stand up, one of the heads opens its mouth to us.

What?

As soon as I recognized that my mouth was open, a black mass was spit out at super speed!

I quickly jump to the right and May evades to the left with a relaxed attitude.

The place where we were standing was gouged out, shattering the floor.

They catch you off guard with their slow movements and then spit out super-fast boulders!　That's not fair!"

The other party is a monster. I don't think they even recognize cowardice or meanness.

May tsk tsk tsk's in a light tone to my shout.

I don't have time to react to her point.

Although there is a level difference between me and Hydra, I was able to avoid the rock attack earlier with "UR, Uragan," a fantasma-class spear that increases the owner's speed due to its wind attribute.

Combining this spear with cards from the "Infinity Gacha" should be enough to win the game!

In return, I take out a card from the item box.

Bakugou Flame!　Release!

SSR Bakugou Flame

This is one of the top offensive magic in the Tactics Class.

The combination of explosion and fire makes this card effective against most monsters.

The smoke billowing up from the explosion envelops Hydra.

No matter how many "Abyss" dungeon guardians and level 5000 monsters there are, this is a damage that cannot be ignored!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Muh, unharmed!　And they can afford to return the attack!"

Hydra's two mouths open, and one of them spits out flames in return.

The other sprayed some kind of liquid at high speed.

I avoided it, relying on the speed increased by "UR, Uragan.

The flames caressed his cheeks and the liquid traced the floor of the dungeon.

The flames only scorch the hair, but the floor through which the liquid has passed makes a burning sound as it melts away.

If you get hit by that thing, you'll get away with a lot!

La, Mr. Wright, it's about time I (I) got my hands on ......."

I'm just getting started, so don't worry. Don't touch May yet!"

May calls out to me with concern when she sees the melting floor.

But this is just the beginning, and I am still a man. I can't make a sound too soon in front of her, even as the Lord.

If magic is hard to work, I'll just have to strike directly at her!

He kicks the floor, grabs "UR, Uragan" and charges.

Three of the nine heads turned to face us, and the remaining six warned May. The dungeon guardian monsters also seem to instinctively know which way to watch.

It's frustrating, but we'll take it as an opportunity.

Flames, molten liquid, rocks, etc. are flying in.

I avoid all of them with a good margin and shorten the distance.

Contrary to its slow and heavy appearance, the enemy quickly flashes its tail.

But since I had expected this attack, it becomes an opportunity to do the opposite.

Kicking the floor hard, I evade the tail!

Aiming at the neck that turns away from him, he swings both hands at "UR, Uragan".

It is only a fantasma class (fantasma class) and pierces deep through the scales that seem harder than steel.

I immediately released the power of Uragan.

Uragan!　Show me your power!"

With a voice, the magic power poured in.

At the same time, a storm of wind comes out of Uragan, ripping off Hydra's head!

I'm not sure what to say.

Apparently not expecting me to take one of his heads, Hydra let out a yelp of pain and frustration.

I quickly moved to a safe distance and readied my Uragan, not being greedy.

Yes!　Thanks to my equipment, I can fight even if my opponent is level 5000!　This might be enough to defeat him without May's help ......!"

I couldn't finish the line.

I couldn't finish the line because my head, which had been shredded by Uragan's power, regenerated and revived in about 10 seconds.

I was like, "Oh my God, he can regenerate a shredded head in almost an instant!　How awesome are your regenerative powers!"

Dear Light, it's time for me (me) to go ......."

May calls out to me with concern.

But I have my own will as a man.

I take out a card from the item box.

Don't mess with it, May!　The battle is still to come!"
