Chapter 124

Chapter 124

I was proven right about how well the Hashira would fit in with our combat dynamic as even though they were physically weaker than me Bell and Aisha, they had a sort of perfect synergy with one another as they took down the level two and three monsters and they didnt hesitate at all in killing the mermen or other humanoid monsters, what with their years of killing demons before.

Well that plus Giyu and Gyomei had unlocked the second stage of their breathing art so they were a whirlwind of death as Gyomei smashed his massive morning star into the ground sending magically hardened rock fragments everywhere while using large quantities of sand to block attacks shot from a distance.

Put simply... Giyu's water breathing was overpowered here in the waterfall region as it was no longer special effects as large water dragons followed the man's sword motions as he swung the dragon around the air and even through the water, tearing apart any monster that came within the man's senses to shreds.

Either way, even with us missing Ryu we made good time to the bottom of the waterfall floors with no one getting hurt in a major way except for Tanjiro who decided head butting a mermaid that was charming him with her magic was the proper plan...

Nevertheless, Nezuko gave him a very thorough scolding as she helped clean up the scratches the mermaid made on the boy after he broke the mermaids nose with his headbutt. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Actually, can he get a skill or something for headbutting? I mean there's individual skills for punching kicking and even grip strength to tear off flesh. So a skill that gives an iron head and more flexible neck wouldn't be too out their honestly.

I shook my errant thoughts out as after a good hour of traveling under Aisha's guidance we finally made our way down to the twenty seventh floor where a massive pool awaited at the bottom in the two-mile-wide open room of a boss area awaited us.

"Aisha is there good way to simply lure the Amphisbaena out of the water." I asked seeing a massive dark shadow within said pool and frowned at the sheer damn size of the beast.

"Hmm well typically most Familia's have someone with the Dive development ability... dive in and attack the beast to anger it and flee to back their members." She said sheepishly and I just deadpanned at the sheer stupidity of people basically doing the equivalent of diving into murky water to slay a gator with a toothpick.

"Yeah No..." I said giving her a look that just screamed she was stupid for even suggesting it.

"I have a far safer and smarter idea." I said shaking my head then I set to work putting some fused to be more potent magnesium I had snatched from the Room of Requirement as apparently magnesium is a notable material used in some Alchemy, into a thin glass container and then used some thin twine to the glass test tube around some rocks.

Lili then got lucky with a powered shot from her bow gun sending an exploding bolt straight into an eye which popped it like a firework put inside a watermelon which Bell instantly took advantage of an threw himself inside the bloody eye socket and destroyed the brain of that dragon head with the small, short sword I made for him to have as a weapon oh so long ago.

When the dragon died and exploded into ashes Bell cried out in shock as he was still inside the eye cavity and was tossed to the ground with a loud crash as his glaive landed beside him making me groan in pain.

"Bell get in the water you are covered in blood... and stuff." I called over as I walked over and sat down beside Haruhime who was nursing her head from using her level boost on too many people and was obviously close to mind down.

I pulled Haruhime's head into my lap and started gently stroking her fox ears after I removed my gauntlets and Haruhime sighed with comfort as her tail lightly wagged back and forth.

While rewarding Haruhime for working herself to the bone I looked around and saw Yushiro carrying the Amphisbaena's dragon liver and a large roll of its scaled skin which I could technically use to make armor or something over to me.

"Yushiro let me store that away and you can give it to Tamayo once we get back." Yushiro nodded with a look of thanks at having not have to carry the ten plus pound liver and probably hundreds of pounds of monster leather back the hour plus back to the Hestia Familia.

"Alright everyone we got a couple minutes to rest but then we need to head back up to the Rivira so we teleport back home."

I got a series of tired cheers as thankfully this was basically a safe area until the boss respawned into a couple weeks and any monster going down the waterfall would be crushed by the water pressure so I could thankfully relax as Shinobu gracefully walked over to me.

"How often will we be fighting monsters like that..." She muttered exhausted as she had taken it upon herself to attempt to poison the hell out of the monster, but it was simply so big that the poison simply took too long to spread and the destroy the body to really be all that viable.

But she was to swipe something human sized like a mermaid with that sword I had fused than they would practically melt and die within a couple seconds even if she didnt hit a vital area.

"High level monsters like this one only spawn every few weeks and with it being first come first serve we may not have a chance to fight it for a long while... Though we mostly grow our stats on the common monsters' you guys weren't having too much of an issue with." I said giving Shinobu a pat on her thigh as she leaned her head against my shoulder as she rested.
