The Giant Skeleton Knight is falling after me, approaching at a very fast pace.

«Falling Control» only moderates the speed of my fall, but doesn’t allow me to move freely in the air. I must use an another magic!

「«Air Impact»!」

A shockwave of air hit my body. This is an attack spell that is normally used to blow away enemies. My body, in the air, without any support hits the wall very easily.

「Ugh.」

The air that had been trapped inside my body went out at once. Even though the force of the blow was weakened, my whole body ached. My eyes were dizzy from the impact.

My body was tattered, but the crisis was over. The Giant Skeleton Knight passed in front of me. It fell straight down and was swallowed by the darkness.

After a while, I heard a low crashing sound.

「It must have fallen. It was deep enough to knock him down.」

The impact must have been huge because of his body size.

All I have to do is, fall slowly … If I’m not careful, I feel like I’m going to be attacked by Wraiths who can pass through the wall.

This is definitely an undead type of dungeon, so you need to be prepared for such a surprise attack.

If Eva, the healer, had been around, she could have been very active with her holy magic, but in her case, she would have focused on protecting the Hero Licht and ignored the other party members. The same are that of the harem members who are also rivals, vying for Licht’s favor. It wouldn’t be surprising if they 1 thought it would be a good thing if he died in a dungeon.

She may look like a benevolent priest, but she’s actually a jealous woman who considers the lives of those she doesn’t love to be as valuable as stones!

The sarcasm war between the women that started the moment Licht left his seat at the bar gives me chills even till now when I remember it. Come to think of it, Colette, who used to ignore such fights, had also participated in the sarcasm contest just before I was kicked out of the party. I guess I’ve been out of place since then.

Oops, while I was thinking about that, I could see the ground. The weak rays of the sun were illuminating the motionless figure of the Giant Skeleton Knight.

「Did I defeat it completely ……?」

As I said this, I landed quietly from my feet.

I drew my sword and approached it cautiously. It’s hard to tell because it’s undead and doesn’t breathe, but it’s probably okay.

With the threat in front of me gone, I finally had the time to look around.

There was a stone wall more than 10 meters in front of me and a half-ruined gate nearby. As I approached and peeked inside, I saw a ruin.

「A ruined city that exists underground.」

Instead of inhabitants, there are skeleton knights, wraiths, 〈Ghouls〉 and other undead roaming around. It would be reckless to go in here and find evidence of the dungeon’s discovery. If I had had a party member, I would have been able to go deeper, but …… Is that the proof that I’m still untrained to think like that?

Aside from being a person, I’m a good adventurer. I’m sure you have some lingering doubts about my ability to fight. But I’m alone now. There’s no point in begging for something which I don’t have. It’s a shame, but I think I’ll back off now.
