Chapter 190: Guard Dog of The Underworld

"Transfer Within Dungeon."

While I was making my way to the deepest floor of the dungeon by using [Transfer Within Dungeon] consecutively, I recalled the words that Nanami-san said to me earlier.

A-rank dungeon 【Meijuu Dungeon】. The dungeon boss that awaits on the lowest floor of this dungeon is a monster with a recommended level to subjugate of 40,000— Orthrus. It is a powerful two-headed A-rank monster that could freely control flames.

And Nanami-san also said that as a dungeon collapse is occurring right now, such a strong monster definitely already has several times more power than it normally has.

However–

『However, I'm sure it won't become 10 times stronger like the bosses of other dungeons. Although there are several patterns in which monsters become stronger, the most frequent are just two. The first one is when a monster raises its level by eating other monsters' corpses including their magic stones– or what is commonly called a【Monster Eater】. And the other one is when a monster becomes stronger after absorbing the dungeon's magic power when a dungeon collapse occurs just like this time. But what they have in common is that there is a limit to what extent they could become stronger.』

『Limit?』

『Aa. This is the same for every monster but, no matter how stronger they became, their level is unlikely to exceed level 100,000. Although there are some very rare cases where some monsters exceed that number, at least, they won't appear in a normal dungeon. I guess perhaps that fact itself is the limit of monsters.』

『…..』

If I look back, certainly, even Ifrit that I fought that day was also level 100,000. That was probably the ‘limit' that Nanami-san just said. However, if I put it the other way around–

"… They could normally reach level 100,000, right?"

While thinking about that, I reached the lowest floor after repeatedly transferring. And I immediately found the boss room. When I entered, the sound of the huge gate being closed reverberated throughout the room.

And then, that thing appeared.

With a huge body that is covered with jet-black fur, which seems to have boiled in the deepest part of the darkness, an overwhelming pressure could be felt with it just being there. Then, just like a hunter targeting its prey, the monster turned its six eyes sharply at me. If ordinary people receive such murderous intent, I'm sure their knees will collapse and their head will be blank at this time. That's how overwhelming its aura was.

In the meantime, I laughed a little, then used [Appraisal] on it.

【Cerberus】

・Recommended level to subjugate: 10,000

・Last boss: Meijuu Dungeon

"… I see. Not only its level, even its shape also has changed."

This is without a doubt an S-rank monster, Cerberus. It is an overwhelmingly superior enemy, boasting the same level of ability as Ifrit that I fought that day. Can the current me beat this monster–

"… No, that is wrong. That's not it."

— At that moment, I remembered the back of hers that I saw. That day, I saw it, the peak. The overwhelming power that could even easily beat an S-rank monster.

That made me think I want to be stronger,

I want to catch up.

Yes, that's what I swore to her.

That's why.

"I'm sorry, but I can't allow myself to be stopped at this kind of place."

No matter how inferior I am against this strong enemy, I won't allow myself to retreat. I will just follow this urge, and keep seeking to be stronger. Hence, I will– I will use everything I have, and overcome this wall.

"Well— here I go."

As follows, I took a powerful step.
