Volume 3

Chapter 50-Rematch and Anniversary

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

Beyond the door, at the end of a large amphitheater-like cavity surrounded by tranquility.

From there, a small sound of creaking metal could be heard, and then the man slowly appeared.

'...... it's coming!"(Yuki)

Marina and Nene jump out at the same time as my voice.

I move accordingly.

"《Paralyze》, 《Slow》, 《Venom》, 《Collapse》,《Blindness》 ......, followed by 《Gravity》!"(Yuki)

As if to recreate that time, I unleash a series of debuff magic on the Steel Crab.

Last time, the Steel Crab was sealed up by this, but not this time.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that its huge shears were stained black at the edges of its carapace, and its inorganic eyes were glowing red and glaring at me.

So even though the "Painter's Abandoned Mine Ruins" was formed from memory, it is essentially the highest difficulty labyrinth, the "Colorless Darkness"?

So this Steel Crab Steel Crab is also played by a beast of shadows.

If it is going to be transformed, why not mimic its combat power as well?

But that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Its movements slowed and the giant shears became sluggish.

It's not my job to finish it off.

"Cover me!"(Silk)

At Silk's voice, Rain and Jamie unleashed a restraining magic.

Two streaks of glitter split the sky and hit the  Steel Crab's right shears. It leaps up.

As expected. Both the power and accuracy are perfect.

"I'm going to stall it!"(Silk)

Advancing right next to me, Silk draws all five attribute arrows at once.

Released in one shot, it flew in different directions, burning the steel crab's eyes, freezing its joints, and shattering its toes.

Silk was an expert with a bow since she was in preadventure training, but now she is like  master.

At least, I had never seen such a feat before, not even in a broadcast.

The  Steel Crab's claws, perhaps excited by its wounds and even more so by the violence of its attacks, were directed at Marina and Nene.

The blindness must be working, but maybe it's catching our figures it in a different way.

"Oh no 《Glass Shield》!"(Yuki)

The claws, wielded as if they were about to break ......, approach Marina, but they stop just before they do so and crumble away.

The golden light flickered on the nails as they crumbled like dust.

"This is ......."(Yuki)

"Lun asked to do this. Even Lun can be useful."(Nibelung)

"I'm glad you're here. But don't be too hard on yourself."(Yuki)

"Yes!"(Nibelung)

Nibelung, the "Golden Priestess," can manifest the power of the "one gold" she carries in her body ...... to alter reality at will. The burden is great, and she is able to make any wish come true.

Although the burden is heavy, and she cannot make all wishes come true, her "requests" are still very powerful.

If possible, I would have preferred not to reveal the details in the "delivery," ...... but for now, the gentle Nibelung's wishes should take precedence.

"Shhaa."(Nene)

With a voice that sounded like a cat's threat, Nene wielded a small dagger.

Marina did not miss the timing when the Steel Crab, which had been ripped through the joint of its leg with precision, was thrown limply out of its stance.

"I'm going to kill it!"(Marina)

The next moment, the Steel Crab was ripped open at an angle.

The  Steel Crab quietly stops moving as it is.

"No enemy in the vicinity ......!"(Nene)

Nene reported, exhaling and relaxing.

"The battle is over. Everyone, check for wear and tear."(Yuki)

"I'm okay with my magic."(Jamie)

"I'm fine too."(Rain)

"Five attribute arrows are used. I have 10 of each left."(Silk)

"No injuries. Thank you, Lun!"(Marina)

"I'm fine, too."(Nene)

"Lun is fine!"(Nibelung)

Each of them was fine.

I took one look at the  Steel Crab, which had been cut in half, and struck a small pose of guts in my heart.

The Steel Crab is only a low-ranked labyrinth dungeon, and a five-level floor boss at that.

But I was deeply moved by the fact that we were able to "defeat it with a party" as I had envisioned.

"What's wrong?"(Rain)

"I was just thinking. No,......, this is not the time to get carried away."(Yuko)

I pulled myself together and looked beyond the darkness.

The "colorless darkness" still continues. I don't know how many levels we have to go down to get to the deepest level, and we can't afford to let our guard down here.

"I found the stairs."(Nene)

Nene, who had gone to check the depths of the boss's room, shouted.

"Okay, let's move on,  Let's take a short break at the staircase area and have a light meal."(Yuki)

The three girls' eyes lit up at my words.

"Then, I want that one!"(Marina)

"I was thinking the same thing."(Silk)

"I was going to say that too."(Rain)

The three girls pull my hand, as if they can't wait .

"Eh? What is it?"(Jamie)

"We want to eat that dungeon food Yuki made us for the first time."(Marina

"Yes. It was the first home-cooked meal that Yuki-san ever made for us."(Silk)

"It was so delicious!"(Rain)

Perhaps intrigued by the situation, Jamie and Nibelung also pushed me along.

I walked to the stairs as if carried by my friends.

"What will it be like? Lun is looking forward to it!"(Nibelung)

'I agree. Even back then we appreciated Yuki's cooking when we were in the labyrinth"(Jamie).

"It's not that big of a deal."(Yuki)

Even as I say this, I start checking the ingredients in my brain.

There should be eggs, sausage, cheese ...... and baguettes.

Yes, I can make enough for the number of people.

"What are you talking about?"(Nene)

"About Yuki's dinner! It's kind of an anniversary today."(Marina)

Marina's words fell into my heart.

I see, an anniversary. It's an odd thing to say, but it must be.

Yes, this place, this moment, is the anniversary of Clover.

Now, the rest depends on the "hot pot".

Just for today, I'm counting on you to make seafood soup.

TL Note- Clover anniversary reminds me of of Valhlla TLs anniversary both have completed a thrilling year of ups and downs let's  see this to the end. Seafood soup because they defeated Steel Crab.
