Book 10: Chapter 41: Hero and Former Demon King

Ey!

Inferno Wolf, the 16th floors boss, disintegrated in just a blink on an eye because of Akaris attack.

She had already killed around a hundred monsters including the floor bosses and the monsters that occasionally appeared in front of her.

Akari didnt feel any sort of fatigue.

By the way, the monsters found on the 11th floor and beyond were personally Tamed by Halt, and they would be revived so long as they didnt give up on living.

Akaris attacks had been way too fast, so they died without even knowing what just happened. Thus, fortunately, all the monsters she defeated could be revived.

The inferno wolf had the fastest attack speed among all the monsters, but even he didnt manage to evade Akaris attack.

Next, 17th floor. How many floors does this dungeon have again?

Dunno. Auntie said its up to 10, but

Seems its the norm to finish 11 and below.

Yup.

Essentially, only those authorized by Halt, the Dungeon Master, were allowed to proceed past the tenth floor.

However, this dungeon was in fact originally created to train heroes.

And so, Halt created a system that a hero would be able to advance to the eleventh floor and beyond even without his permission, in case a hero did come later on.

Akari was a hero.

Moreover, she was also accompanied by Tet, who no other than a deity from the other world.

Akari, there are gemstones over there!

Tet possessed the ability to gauge the contents of the treasure chests stationed per floor.

Because of that, they went through the floors ignoring the treasure chests without any gems until they reached this floor.

Really But, were already here, so might as well go as far as I can.

Akari enjoyed conquering the dungeon together with Tet.

Her enemies were annihilated with just a flick of her finger.

Her heart had been nervously pounding at first, but now she was immersed in that sense of omnipotence after defeating monsters in just a blink of an eye.

Her initial goal of searching for jewels had already been tossed aside.

Thats fine if Akari says so. Lets ignore this too. Alright, lets go! Dungeon Conquest, here we go!

Go!!

Originally, the adventurers would advance while defeating the monsters to get materials, retrieve items from the treasure boxes until they conquered the dungeon.

However, Akari and Tet where single-mindedly focused on reaching the last floor.

Akari and Tet ignored most of what was in the 17th floor, and they finally reached the 18th floor.

They reached the floor bosss room without fighting a single monster.

Thats because the 18th floor boss commanded the ogres that were normally roaming around to flee.

Alright, lets go, Tet.

Yup. The enemy is right in front of Akari. Theres only one, though.

Gotcha.

Akari would ask Tet about the number and location of the boss before she opened the floor boss room.

She opened the door, and the moment she stepped her foot

Ey!

She launched her usual forehead flick remote attack towards the boss-like figure standing in the center of the room.

She had won against the floor boss every single time until she reached this floor.

Akari had advanced through each floor with only her right-hand flicks.

That girl was now holding a weapon with both hands for the first time.

The battle between the kijin and hero began.

By the way, Akari didnt have any experience using a blade.

Despite that

Youre really strong as I though!

You too, Big Brother.

Orga had spent thousands of years honing his skills with this sword, and yet Akari easily blocked it.

Akaris status was far stronger than Orga even if he had evolved into the Kijin race.

It wasnt only status.

W-Whats with that move!?

Akari had imitated the technique that he used mere seconds ago.

It was not a simple imitation.

Rather, it was so sophisticated that Orga was under the illusion that it was Akaris technique that was the original one.

The girl possessed the skill <Weapon Master>, so she could wield any weapon with ease. Of course, it also applied to any weapon that she used for the first time.

Moreover, she could perfectly mimic any moves she saw with her <Divine Vision>, even if she only saw it once.

Akari had mastered Orgas techniques by watching him using her Divine Vision and Weapon Master, and she even tweaked them to optimize them and made them her own.

Swords are fun.

Stop messing around!

Akari kept on absorbing the sword skills that Orga diligently honed to perfection for a thousand year.

She realized that she was rapidly becoming stronger, and it made her feel elated.

Orga had been enjoying giving his all during their clash of swords at first, but he was getting impatient as time went by.

It wasnt because he was about to lose against Akari.

He was starting to fear that he might create an unimaginable Bakemono the longer he crossed swords with her.

However, those were needless fears.

Thats because Akari was already a Bakemono the moment she came into this world.

Thanks Big Bro, Im stronger now because of you.

Urk!

Akari was holding a normal conversation while attacking, but Orga no longer had the leeway to reply to her.

Youre Orga right? Im Akari.

Akari distanced herself for a moment before introducing herself.

...Why give your name now?

Orga asked, and Akari smiled in reply.

The moment she smiled, Orga sensed his own death.

Thats because this is the last time..

Akari raised her black sword above her head and slashed it down.

Her slash attack that Orga could never endure came hurtling towards him at a speed that he wouldnt be able to dodge no matter what.

Orga. You just gave up, didnt you?

Si-Sitri-sama!

Eh The big sis from the magical academy?

Sitri had blocked Akaris attack.
