Book 8: Chapter 25

Book 8: Chapter 25

Merdie and her team continued to defeat the Maho Gnomes that attacked them relentlessly.

Merdie was already past Level 100, so B-ranked monsters were not worthy opponents, no matter how many flocked at her.

If they were ordinary monsters, that is.

Halt the savage brute that Merdie referred to would never hold back whenever he trained his comrades.

He would always prepare an opponent that his target group could barely win against, resulting in their rapid improvement.

Moreover, he had the confidence that he could immediately rescue them if the situation became dire. Thus, the drills that he subjected to his comrades were pretty ruthless.

Everything he did was to raise them to become Powerful Comrades.

The Haruto of yore had vague thoughts of wanting to protect this world where he and Tina lived.

However, when he did obtain the Power to Protect, he realized that there were many things that he still couldnt achieve on his own.

Thus, the current Halt never thought of protecting the world all by himself.

This decision was also largely influenced by the fact that he had regained his memories back when he had been living as the Guardian Hero in this world a century ago.

There were lives that the Guardian Hero could not protect.

Cities that he couldnt defend.

He couldnt save the world on his own.

Thats why he decided that he would train

Friends who could defeat S-ranked demons.

A family who could annihilate warlocks.

Comrades who could defeat the greatest enemy of this world no other than the Demon King.

Sage Luarno had drawn out the power of his comrades through his special classes.

Halt recognized that the method was also beneficial, but he felt that it was lacking.

Except for Halt, all the people of this world needed to raise their levels in order to become strong.

Halt believed that if that was the case, then people could raise their levels and develop their combat ability by continuously fighting against enemies that they could barely defeat.

Actually, that line of thinking wasnt mistaken.

Indeed, if they were able to grasp the essence of magic thanks to the lectures given by Sage Luarno, they could become more efficient in converting mana into magical energy, thereby increasing their power.

However, status was more important when regards to the ability to use magic.

The person who possessed an overwhelming status was more powerful than one who could efficiently use magic.

That was the world they were in.

Then, if a person who already possessed an overwhelming status also had the skill that would allow him to efficiently use his magic and body, what would happen?

He would become stronger, of course.

And the best way to acquire those skills while improving status would be continuously fighting opponents powerful enough that you could barely defeat them.

The souls of this worlds people would shine the brightest when they were physically and mentally pushed to their limits, allowing them to cultivate their bodies and sharpen their minds.

This would become highly efficient in gaining experience and it would also become easier for them to raise their levels.

Halt had sharpened his mental acuity to the point that he could sense the souls of other people. He became increasingly aware of the strength development of his comrades, leading him to realize how it worked.

Considering that he was at this point, it stood to reason that the B-ranked monsters he prepared would never be just small fry.

Fuu. Thanks a lot, Seira, meow. Lilia too.

No, I wasnt really of help during the battle

M-me too. It was as if the monsters were all drawn towards Merdie-sama.

Ah, yeah, Halt probably designed it that way, meow. If I knew things would be like this, itd have been better off not accepting Halts proposal, meow.

Merdie also noticed that Halt was controlling the monsters.

She was wallowing in regret for letting her guard down and accepting Halts invitation just because she found it interesting.

Well, were already here, so I want to clear a floor, at the very least, meow.

Merdie, are you okay?

My mana and strength are back, so I can go on and fight, meow!

Yes, but the monsters on this floor were like that. In that case, then the boss might be

It might be something super powerful, meow.

Lilia and Sally were considering withdrawing.

They fully realized that their current strength wasnt enough for them to continue on.

Usually, there are a few underlings inside the bosss room. If there arent a lot of enemies, then Ill deal with the Boss somehow, meow.

Merdie then started walking towards the bosss room after saying that.

Seira, Lilia and Sally followed her.

A-ahmabout Halts magic, those flaming knights wont they be the boss?

That wont happen, Seira, meow. Ill be shocked if the boss of the first floor is that kind of magic spell. That thing is more suited to be at the final floor, or even just before that, meow.

They finally reached the bosss room.

Anyway, lets break through the11th layer, meow!!!

Yes!! Please leave your recovery in my hands.

I will do my best too, meow.Lets give it our best shot!

The four girls entered the bosss room.

The boss wasnt there.

Ehtheres no boss, meow?

M-Merdie!!! Look over there!!

Seira pointed to the ground, and they saw five magical circles drawn on it.

They suddenly glowed.

Five knights appeared.

T-those are
