Chapter 65: Running away from a monster is new to me.
"Okay, I guess I can go to the next floor now." After picking up the item that Ligerfang dropped, I ran again towards the passage to the 16th floor. I think this is the first time I am coming to this floor.
I'm sorry, but I'm terrible at remembering things. "But I'm pretty sure I only came to the 15th floor last time."
And then, after running for a few minutes, I finally reached the passage that led to the 16th floor. On this floor, Minotaurs, Ligerfangs, and Hellhounds would appear. Of course, they will be stronger now.
"However, I don't think killing them will be much of a challenge." And soon after reaching the 16th floor, I encountered my first enemies. Not only monsters, but I also found some adventurers who were chasing them.
In the distance, I could see Ais, Bete, and Tione. Ahead, chasing the Hellhounds, was Tiona. Hellhounds are weak monsters, so the three further back were not helping Tiona. They just watched her.
Tiona slaughtered the Hellhounds in no time. And after she finished, she let out a sigh and finally realized my presence. As soon as she saw me, she stood there without reaction, and then a smile appeared on her face.
But before I could say anything, Tiona's smile disappeared. She turned back to where Ais and the others were standing and started walking. I couldn't read her lips, but she had said something before she went away.
I didn't run away. I continued standing there. Ais, who noticed my presence wrinkled her brow, annoyed with me. She then walked past me without saying anything. She walked in the side of Tiona so the girl couldn't talk to me.
Bete clicked her tongue and kept walking, and Tione was walking in silence, not caring about me. She seems to be the only one who is not angry with me.
'Well, at least I managed to meet her. She's fine...' I gave a smile and walked on. I couldn't just walk up to them and try to talk. Ais certainly wouldn't allow something like that.
I'm sure that if she attacked me, I couldn't win. 'To tell you the truth... I'm not so sure. This ability of mine is very powerful. However, I don't want to risk it.'

"I'm unlucky, so I'll probably run into him at some point." And as I imagined, it was a Goliath after running for almost 10 minutes.
A giant tall monster with grayish skin, black hair, and red eyes. It looked pretty angry about something. It was "Goliath," a giant. As soon as I saw it, I noticed how giant and powerful Goliath was. Its height was so great that I wondered if I could even reach its head if I jumped.
I imagined myself cutting its head off, but now that I have seen one in person, I see this as impossible.
"And since it didn't see me, I should get out of here." I took slow steps back to try to escape it, but without realizing it, I kicked a rock that crashed against the stone wall and made a loud sound that caught Goliath's attention.
As soon as this happened, I looked at the monster again, looking into its eyes. It was looking directly at me.
I could feel my body shaking as this happened. I could feel its strength; it would kill me if I continued in this place. With my strongest ability activated, I then started to run.
As I did, I heard Goliath's heavy footsteps behind me, making this situation even more desperate. I looked back a few times, and it was chasing me as if his life depended on it.
But I was managing to get away. I was faster than Goliath; that's good.
"I don't know if I'll be able to hide, though. I think I'll have to get to the next floor as quickly as possible. The big problem is to lure it there."
Damn, I didn't think I would have to run away from some monster so soon.
