170-164 Random boss

We defeated the hydra, but that was the problem.

The magic circle that came in didn't activate, and when I jumped into the magic circle that the sisters had managed to escape from the hydra, it was the entrance to a level.

''If we stay here for a long time, it looks like our skills in detecting and disarming traps will grow.

It was his master who responded to that.

'Come to think of it, you used to make me learn to disarm traps, didn't you?　Just in time to teach you a lesson.

The moment he tapped me on the shoulder saying that, I realized that I had dug a grave.

This time I had no choice but to go to the boss room on the tenth level, but this labyrinth was different from the past, and even if I knew the way, it would take me several hours at the earliest to reach the tenth level again. That's how many traps there are.

Well, except for the pitfalls and being transported, it seems to be only poisonous, paralyzing arrows and needles flying around, so it doesn't seem to be a problem for me to receive all of them on my own and proceed.

With that in mind, I decided to refrain from saying or doing anything more frivolously.

It's also said that mouth is the source of disaster, and I had a feeling that something worse was going to happen at the end of what I said, so I concentrated on finding the distortion of magic power in the labyrinth and proceeded.

By the time he finally reached the boss room on the tenth level, he was hungry and his master booed him, but he was not irritated because the women worked hard to make him feel better.

Master, seeing this, opened the door to the boss room, so I had no choice but to follow and enter, and what was waiting for me was a robot-like golem.

''Master, that one is tinged with lightning, right?''

Well, it's more electricity than lightning, but if it's mixed with impurities, water should short-circuit... but is the water produced by Lydia's spirit magic pure water?　That's when I got that far.

"I'm going to cut you down for your trouble.

Master said and started running at the golem.

A blitz was released from the golem towards the approaching master, but when he ducked with plenty of time to spare, he found that he was poking his sword at the golem in succession, but the moment it landed, the golem broke apart and turned into a magical stone.

''What the hell did you do?''

It was Lionel, after all, who answered it.

''Golems and slimes have a nucleus, and when it cracks, it can't maintain its form and breaks. The whirlwind must have destroyed the nucleus by ramming it at high speed through various places.

I know what you're saying, but if you're asking if you can do it, no.

He really is on another level of strength.

'Luciel, we're staying here today. After we finish eating, we'll have a mock battle.

Yes.

I couldn't decide whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for me to fight this master of another dimension.

Well, what I'm waiting for is a hopeless power gap, so I could reopen it.

With that in mind, I cleansed the boss room and put out my own cooking utensils, and Estia and her sisters seemed to be able to cook properly.

Ketty watched them from a distance and told them to do it together and asked everyone to ask Ketty to gently teach them how to cook.

Kefin gave me a deep bow of his head and I laughed.

But that's as far as I got from laughing.

'Luciel, I don't care how you attack me. I'll wait for them to attack and then fight back. I'm telling you, if you don't have a barrier in place, you'll lose consciousness all at once, so make sure you put it on before you attack.

He thought that the lack of surprise as before had made him kinder.

Until this time........

Whenever I launched an attack with my body strengthening, a return move would be waiting for me.

Every time I launched a straight punch, there was a cross counter waiting for me.

Moreover, since it was called a mock battle, I thought it was a battle, but it teaches me how to handle the weapons handled by my fighting style in more detail than in the past.

I can counter by striking each other repeatedly while explaining the good and bad points of swordsmanship, spearmanship, two spear swordsmanship, and body arts that use the empty handedness of kungfu.

'Luciel, what you've learned so far in your training is that you can predict your opponent's predictions with the movement of your ki and magic power. To learn this in half a month, you need to have a solid grounding. Furthermore, qualities are important. You must be able to detect danger sensitively, have a determination to persevere, never give up, and have an unbreakable heart. Come on, stand up and take me down at the end of the line afterwards.

The master said and fired up his fighting spirit.

''Let's go,''

I activated a high heel on a blink of an attack being unleashed while strengthening my body, but the next blink of an eye, I was rolled to the ground.

'Luciel, sometimes a discarded attack is effective, but it's not always right. Watch your opponent closely. By always being aware of how they move, and their perceptual skills, you can accumulate your imagination (image) as experience, and you have the potential to do so.

It sounds like a comic book about being the strongest in the world, but is it possible for talent to push the envelope?

''Middle Heels.

''Only a handful of people are blessed with a natural talent that can do this. But even ordinary people like you and me can surpass our opponents with this talent. I'm sure you can even surpass them by accumulating combat experience with a strong and specific battle plan. Well, if you don't continue, you'll soon be overtaken by someone with a natural talent.

Master lightly scratched his head and said so.

But sadly, even if he lumped Master and me in the same category, it wasn't convincing at all.

More importantly, the fact that Master is an ordinary person makes me question it.

''Master, I don't know why Master thinks of himself as an ordinary person.

''Well I wanted to be a knight of the Empire when I was little, but I was dropped when I was fifteen. So I had no choice but to become an adventurer, but I stayed at the E rank until I was 20. Then I had a chance to come into contact with an adventuring party, which was S-rated at the time, and I got to know the old man in the party, and that's how I started my training. I endured my grandfather's training with a spirit of steel for five years while vomiting blood and vomiting, and before I knew it, I was in a position where I could see the S-class rank. Luciel, so although I don't have a natural talent, Omae, who has the talent to work hard and continue, is my disciple and successor.

Honestly, I couldn't believe it when I heard that story, but it didn't look like Master was lying to me either.

That's when I suddenly remembered my previous life.

He had joined the company in the same year as me and was working in sales, but after the third year, his performance suddenly slowed down and he was demoted and stopped working for the company.

And I remember that I was always on the edge of the line of failure for promotion.

My classmate, who was as good as I was perceived to be, was a very skilled speaker and his knowledge and speaking skills got better and better from the first year.

By comparison, I continued to struggle until my third year, getting only a rookie-level contract.

Like the fairy tale rabbit and the tortoise, I wasn't even halfway through the rabbit, but after three years of increasing the number of phone calls and visits, learning the characteristics of the people I was talking to, gradually building new customers and getting referrals, the situation had turned around.

I didn't give up then because ... oh, well.

I was simple, too, wasn't I?

When I turned my face to the side, I was able to remember why I was working so hard at the time.

Even though the laws and environment had changed from my previous life, this world was similar in some ways, and even more than that, apparently I had somehow forgotten that it was a very kind world for those who continued to work hard.

Was it because I had a talent for Holy Attribute magic that made me a skill level X?　

If you ask me that, I'll tell you that I'm not.

In the same way, in Master's case, it's probably the result of training a lot and defeating a lot of demons.

''For now, I'll do everything I can do, but I'm only a healer, so please go easy on me.

First, we teach them to handle their weapons fully. Next, we will make them aware of all the detection skills so that they can grasp the flow of battle. Lastly, I will teach them to grasp the whole picture and take command. I'm only a healer. Well, you won't have any trouble getting stronger.

Well, you're right.

...you're suddenly so honest.

''Since I'm calling myself Master's apprentice, I'd feel more comfortable taking a decent shot at it and scuffling it up, rather than nodding off and arguing against it.

I'm gonna have to blackout you before I do.

This is how me and Master's training continued until we were ready to eat.

After we ate, we struck into Lionel and everyone was just about to be trained by Master, I recovered and today's training was over.

The next morning, about the time I was the first to get up and finish making everyone's meals, everyone started to get up.

Then the ladies asked me about the recipes and I handed them a collection of recipes I hadn't seen in a long time, and it was a lively meal.

Once we finished eating, we proceeded to attack the labyrinth of intrigue.

Since we were being instructed by our master and Kefin on how to disarm the traps, our progress was very slow, but since there were no demons, we proceeded while disarming the traps without panicking.

''Even so, wasn't the map of the labyrinth expensive?''

'Ten gold coins. This labyrinth will revive the traps and the treasure chest. The traps in this labyrinth will be restored and the treasure chest will be restored. Well, there's the hope of finding the treasure, too.

The attack proceeded in such a congenial manner, and the boss of the 20th level was Lionel, who opened the room, and the enemy was the giant Cyclops.

''Well aren't Master and Lionel too unlucky?''

However, both Master and Lionel were battle fanatics, so they were only happy that Cyclops had been able to make it.

''Then I'll go this time,''

Saying that, I handed over the large shield that was in the magic bag and urged the area barrier, and then walked towards the cyclops on foot.

''As expected, it's tasteless........''

I was about to tell everyone what to do when my master grabbed me by the shoulders.

''A war demon can't lose to a demon like that. I know it won't be helpful, but watch closely.''

While believing those words, I stand by, ready to activate my recovery magic at any time.

Beside me, Keti was also looking anxious, but she was looking off Lionel's back.

Although Cyclops was humanoid at first glance, he was a true giant and looked more than ten meters tall, and the intimidation of his body supporting it was close to that red dragon.

But Lionel didn't stop walking, he got in between the cyclops and swung his arm down towards Lionel.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with them.

We didn't understand what he meant, but as he screamed in pain and tried to strike his remaining arm from the side, he caught it with the great shield again and sliced off his left wrist, not caring that the ground had caved in a bit.

Cyclops didn't give up, and this time he tried to stomp on it, but it was easily avoided, and his right ankle was cut off, making it impossible for him to get up.

Then Lionel turned to me and called out to me.

'Perhaps you can become a giant-killer, so take a shot.

I'm sorry Cyclops, but I was only allowed to take a shot at it.

It was a complete power leveling and seemed to be parasitic, but it wasn't a game, so I was grateful to give it to him.

Then Lionel sliced off the head of a rolled up Cyclops and the battle was over.

So, we took a break and set off for the future with a light meal, but the demons still didn't show up, and we proceeded in silence, reaching the boss room on the 30th level when the trap disarming and trap detection skills level 2 each were raised.

It was me who opened it.

What came out was a headless knight and a black horse.

Yes, it must be Durahan.

I tried activating the Sanctuary Circle before I fought. I thought that if they were undead, that would be how they would rot.

However, it seems it's not the undead, it's the fairy theory, and as expected, we all decided to attack.

Master and Lionel have folded their arms, and I guessed that means the two of them won't be able to take their turn, so I'm going to give instructions to everyone.

I'm not strong enough to fight on my own like my masters are.

''Keti, Kefin, set up a sideways attack, Lydia, spirit magic, Estia and Nadia, keep me and the knights on guard, and we'll crush the horses.

I activate the area barrier on all of them, and then I'm about to pack up on Dullahan when something unexpected happens.

When Keti and Kefin, who had attacked first, crossed, Durahan fell straight down.

Just to be sure, Lydia released a spirit magic and Estia and Nadia stabbed their swords into the horse, and Durahan disappeared and dropped two magic stones.

''Were you weakened by the Sanctuary Circle (Sanctuary Circle)?　Or was there some kind of factor working with the fairies?

I muttered and turned back around and tried to ask my mentor and Lionel for advice, but they gave me the same look I got when I defeated the first King Wraith.

I realized that I was surely not going to be allowed to open the door to the boss room for the duration of this training.
