’s dungeon is located some distance from the town. The dungeon is called , and as the name implies, it is home to individuals collectively known as (Akuma). After resting well after their last adventure, Alvin and the other set out to challenge this dungeon first in order to climb the Hateyama.
Akumas have a variety of appearances, but they are generally skilled in magic.Akumas with muscular bodies likeOgresometimes attack with magic, andAkumas with small bodies like goblins use magic that can easily slaughter several people, making the danger in this place worthy of being called an upper-upper rank.
The battles with theAkumas they have encountered have been a series of unpredictable situations.
”※※※※※※”
TheAkuma‘s words are unclear, but it doesn’t matter as long as theAkumas’s words can be understood to mean the activation of magic. One of theAkumas pointed a fingertip at Alvin, who was cutting through aAkumawith sharp claws. Even though it would be dangerous to take immediate evasive action, Alvin did not let up his attack.
Because he felt a surge of magic from his beloved Milis behind him. Without saying a word, Alvin swung his greatsword to protect her.
”※※※”
”!”
The lightning from theAkuma‘s fingers that was supposed to strike Alvin’s side was blocked by the colorless barrier created by the magic Milis had cast. Nevertheless, the magic that had blocked the lightning was also blocked by theAkuma‘s claws, as was Alvin’s greatsword, which was swung almost simultaneously. But it did not matter to him.
The strongest of this group ofAkumas was the giant demon that was facing Alvin. Alvin’s role is to halt thisAkuma. Of course he’s determined to defeat it, but he can’t push through it alone.
”Alvin! Don’t push yourself!”
”I know!!”
The smallAkumathat had cast the spell on Alvin had already been knocked down by Renka’s arrow. The otherAkumas around him are also being defeated in turn by Flair. Then, Shinji’s call is answered loudly by Alvin, who catches theAkuma‘s claws with his greatsword.
The only way for theAkumas to win is to break through Alvin and kill the rearguard (Shinji’s group), but Alvin, supported by Milis, is strong. In rare cases, if multiple units tried to attack, they would be blocked by Flair, and long-distance attacks would be blocked by Milis and Shinji. Whenever there was an opening, Renka would reduce the number one by one.
The situation was in Alvin and the others’ favor.
”※※※※※※...”
”Total defenses!!”
”...I’m sorry, noja”
[Shinji gets mad]
[Gunununu...!]
Flairs trembled at the thought of Freri’s teasing. And getting carried away, Flair can’t argue.
”I appreciate the thought, but it’s my job! Even if it doesn’t work now, there’s always next time!”
”Umu, that’s a man!”
Taking advantage of Alvin’s words, Flair tries to make up for her blunder, but Shinji’s eyes are fixed on her as he picks up the magic stone. The magic stones of theAkumawere obviously larger than the ones he had picked up so far, as theAkumaused many kinds of magic. After collecting all the magic stones, Shinji joined the conversation.
”From the looks of it, as long as we’re careful about magic, we should be fine. Now, let’s keep our eyes open”
”Yes!”
Alvin and the others walked further in.
Thus, the ’ conquest of the upper-upper ranking dungeon proceeded without any major problems. Because the adventuring is going so well, Alvin has to worry about something else... his engagement to Christina.
The adventure’s part.
At last, reaching an upper-upper rank, which is a requirement for Hateyama.
Work is going well, but the personal life is not.... Will there be any progress with Christina?
Let’s continue the story.
