CHapter 148: Daze

CHapter 148: Daze

At the beginning of the Orario, two Familias had reigned over this city for so long, but due to the failure of the deep expedition in the dungeon, those two Familias disappeared, bringing the era of terror to the long peace that everyone had gotten used to.

In that era of terror, many Familias prepared and died, but some of them won and became one of the greatest Familias in this city, replacing the old.

One of them was the Loki Familia.

At that moment, they were on their way to the surface after a long expedition, challenging the dungeon like the old Familia that reigned over the Orario and overtook them before truly becoming the best Familia on the Orario!

Unfortunately, their expedition failed, and on the 50th Floor, they met an unexpected monster that ruined their weapons and armor, forcing them to return to the surface to recuperate.

Yet, even if they had failed and were unable to press deeper, they had good gains, especially when they discovered a new species of monster, which made them able to prepare for their next expedition.

"Even though I can still fight~! I haven't gone on a rampage yet~!"

"You are nagging too much. It should be almost time for you to stop."

"Even though we have suffered so much and reached the 50th Floor..."

After walking for so long, they were about to reach the 17th Floor.

"By the way, it should be almost time for Goliath to respawn, right?"

"How do you want to fight it?"

"If it's possible."

With all the damage they received on their expedition, naturally, they needed money to fix everything, and even if the Goliath was a monster on the 17th Floor, it could give them quite a sum of money as it was a Monster Rex, a powerful monster that only appeared on certain floors.

If one makes a comparison, the Monster Rex is like a boss monster in the game. Naturally, it would generate quite generous drop items, which could be sold for quite a good amount of money.

"What if someone is faster than us?" Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

"What are you afraid of? We are the Loki Familia."

If there was a Familia that could match the Loki Familia, it would be the Freya Familia. Nevertheless, it didn't mean that they could do whatever they wished.

"Stop talking and focus on the trip. If Goliath is taken, then there is no need for us to be bothered by it, but if the group that tries to fight it can't handle it, then we can take the charge."

"Yes!"

Finn, the Pallum and also the captain of the Loki Familia, said, and everyone followed.

Yes, they might need money, and as an exploration-type Familia, their source of income naturally came from the dungeon, but even so, they hadn't fallen enough to steal a monster from another.

However, as they approached the 17th Floor, they felt a strange air that made them feel tense and suffocated. It wasn't until suddenly that they noticed a single figure at the center of the corridor.

"...who is that?"

They couldn't see his face since half of it was covered in messy bangs, and he also had untrimmed beards and mustaches that covered most of his features. Yet even with all of that, they could see his sunken cheeks, seemingly haven't eaten for a while. His clothes were also all torn, showing a thin body and prominent ribs, and he was even barefoot, leaving only his navy-colored blue pants with a type of fabric that they didn't know due to the dirt and various things.

During his stay in the dungeon, this young man spent all of his time fighting, imagining various situations where he had fought many beings singlehandedly.

"Then, what is he doing here?"

"There is only one reason."

As expected, at that moment, a large humanoid monster with gray skin reaching seven meters spawned before the young man.

"G-Goliath!"

"Let's help him!"

"Wait a moment."

While everyone was startled and many were ready to help, Finn told them to calm down.

"Do you think he will be okay with his situation?

Gareth, the muscular dwarf with a thick beard, looked at the thin young man before him with a frown. As Finn had said before, he could see that this young man was so weak, like a branch that could be snapped at any moment.

Facing this gigantic monster that became the terror of many with such a body meant the same as suicide?

Yet, when some ignored Finn's order to help this young man, this young man made his move.

His body appeared light as if it had wings on its back. In a single jump, he reached the neck of the Goliath and decapitated it with his two weapons, like a mantis that hunted down its prey cruelly.

The Goliath couldn't even let out a single roar, and it directly died under his brutal attack.

BOOOOOOOOM!

The large body fell onto the ground, defeated, then crumbling into ashes.

"....."

At that moment, the young man had also woken up from his daze, especially when he smelled a sweet smell like an anemone flower.

"...are you okay?"

The voice was quite awkward and seemed hesitant, yet he could see this young woman's worry, astonishment, and awe.

"Yes, I am okay." Isao Iinuma nodded and woke up for the first time in six days. "Thank you for asking."

Still, he had to admit that his luck was as good as ever since he didn't expect that he would meet the heroines directly when he woke up.

There are many who recommend "Tate no Yuusha." Frankly, while I know the story, I haven't watched it much, only the beginning. Still, has it finished?

Sorry for being a little late.
