Over The Infinite

Episode 13: Battle of the Clock Tower

-0-

I have something to tell you on this expedition.

That's in the middle of both of us pointing to chess. Mr. Glenn spoke out as I suddenly remembered.

I don't think I'm here to mentally shake you because you're about to lose.... No, I don't think so.

"It's not just you, it's just fine."

Surely there are only two of us here. Mr. Carrot was only watching the game in the first place. I've also invited Philos and Gowen, but they're not very interested in tabletop games themselves.

Is this war related?

"No, it's about our business."

That's what they say and come up with is the profession of adventurer. It's about the Infinite Corridor attack.

If it's definitely an expedition-related matter, you don't have to tell me alone. You can assemble members at noon rallies or even temporarily to say it. Would it be difficult to say anything?

"Right now, the front line of the infinite corridor is like two clans alternating in attack."

I naturally know that. Maybe if you live in a labyrinth city, you don't have to be an adventurer to know.

However, even when it comes to alternating, < Meteor Knights > doesn't get much ahead of it. Most of the current frontlines, up to the ninety-eighth level, must be ahead of us.

It seems that the two clans share tactical information, so it is far more difficult to attack ahead of time for lack of information.

Apparently, that information-sharing is taking place even on the way to the attack. Destroy them all and share if you have new information, and if you receive it, use it for your next attack.

That's closer to a fighting relationship than it is to being competitive. The two clans are like attacking together just because there are no members coming and going.

Differences in information, the difference between first and second place, are immensely wide. That's why the < Meteor Knights > are said to be fast forward, even if only slightly ahead of them. After attacking the eighty-eighth layer, he attacked the eighty-ninth layer without returning as it were, an event that could be described as a surprise to the clans fighting on the front line and, above all, to the parties.

"I know exactly what the situation is on the front line."

The same goes for general sources such as magazines, television and the Internet, but many people are familiar with this information around me. I know someone who's actually attacking me. The person in front of you is one of them.

'Well, listen. Oh, can you hold on to that hand... it hurts a little when they point you there... or stuffing'

"Ha..."

As they say, put one hand back on the board.... Isn't that a serious story?

"Ark Sabre will soon be disbanded."

'............ what?

It took me a while to understand what I was told about the fact of the shock.

Even after understanding, I can't believe what I've heard.

'Duh, what is the reason? Differences in musicality or something.'

'What is it... the limits are simply close as an organization. Well, dissolution would shrink in size even if it were too much'

What the hell does that mean?

There is no clan with a rough system. Neither the size nor the talent of the organization is even a battle compared to the < Meteor Knights >.

In the first place, an organization called Clan will not be dissolved unless there is much left to do. At best, it's the kind of merger that happened when Ark Sabre was founded.

Naturally because the absolute number of adventurers continues to increase. Even clans like < Muscle Brothers > don't know how to stay.

"You know we're a distorted organization, right? In addition to talent of varying sizes, there are five clan masters, all of whom were originally middle-class masters. '

'... I thought that was the strength.'

'Surely there are aspects to that. He put a lot of talent into it and repeatedly made countless triand errors to win. Meanwhile, the meteor guys have a serious battle once at a time, no throw away times exist'

Is there a problem there? Both sounds like the ultimate, honest approach. For lack of play in battle power, the < Meteor Knights > seems more environmentally demanding.

'Until now, that's good. But it's more like a miracle that I kept it this far. There's a world approaching that doesn't work anymore. "

'Is that a problem with the difficulty of nearly 100 layers?

'Right. It is also problematic that there is a division between layers 100 and 100. Many members have seen there as a goal. Even those who know there is beyond that. "

Patchouli and Mr. Glenn point back at each other. That's a better hand than the other hand. My movements are sealed well.

"You think you're going to get to the goal and lose your motivation?

'There's that side, there's that side, there's that side. The most problematic is mainly in terms of qualities, if you ask me, talent.'

That seems to be the furthest thing from the current state of Arc Sabre.

The average talent score for < Arc Saber > is high. The education system, the system of scouts, brings together talent that can be left alone. Even though Moyer and Philos have the problem of narrow horizons that they cared about, their strength as clans would be the best.

Meanwhile, the < Meteor Knights > are a few elite. < Arc Saber > may also have problematic adventurers downstairs, but I don't think there's a problem there when I look at the average score.

That's obvious from looking at the top five clan masters. Everyone is a good fighter. Without a doubt, it would also be the highest in the labyrinth city.

'... it's something I can tell it's been going on for a long time, but it's time for our talent to hit the head'

"I don't think so… for example, I will train well with Mr. Dhadaka, but I am an aggressive participant in new things."

Enough old man, but the flexibility of that guy's thinking is close to that of a young man.

I'll try something new for now and incorporate it if I have to. If there is a problem, look for ways to improve. He's full of vitality.

'I said it was close, but it's not like this right now. There will still be a temporal respite. As a guide...... right, it's about 200 layers late from 150 layers'

"Isn't that a great story ahead?"

Even though it's slightly faster, it's still at an even higher pace every month. This pace is more than five years away.

... but five years? I certainly can't say right away when I look only at the number of years.

'Really? Lately, the offense is fast. Wouldn't it be soon if we went over 100 layers?... mostly because of you. "

"What? So why me?

It just wouldn't matter.

"Laurent's guy got excited when he saw you. It's too big a fact."

Are you talking about newcomers? I guess I did become a fan because I had something to feel when I saw the array.

'Unlike a dispute like ours, he's real. At least that's what I'm trying to be.'

"Even Mr. Glenn and the others..."

'We're not. I'm admitting it. There's a lot of opinions about Laurent or me when it comes to top adventurers in labyrinth cities, but that's a mistake. It's been a big difference from the beginning. My qualities as an adventurer are far inferior to those of Arshelia. It's a level where the night light might be higher. "

I don't think so, but that's the kind of look Mr. Glenn doesn't say with or without. Maybe there's something you don't know unless you're the one who got there.

'There are things you can do even if you're in trouble. We proved it with results. Of course, Layer 100 is going to attack, and I'm not going to give that honor to the Meteor Knights. I'm not going to get out of hand even after I've exceeded 100 layers. But it's bound to go bankrupt somewhere. … that's the limit of the contradiction'

"I don't think Mr. Glenn and the others are in trouble."

These people are constantly trying. I am aiming ahead without giving up. Even now that I said the limits were close, I'm still looking ahead.

"You're going to catch up with the Dungeon Master, aren't you?

"That's..."

'Even we intend to. However, it is difficult to attack at a pace higher than the current one. Then it won't reach the Dungeon Master. "

He's been resting lately, but even that guy's moving on, so that could be it. I need to pace up somewhere.

'I mean, not as it is now, not as normal. I guess it's what Laurent calls "real."

It does not arrive as it stands. I can see that.

'Laurent's guy is going to be "real". And I think I found it for you. "

'But it's...'

"The Dungeon Master told me about the gift. I guess I have that power too.... but that's not all I feel '

You know that.

'I'm not similar, but even if I look like this, I'm Laurent's brother. I've been looking at him the whole time. I feel something like him from you. At last, Philos and Miyumi. "

The hand pointing to the pawn was stopped.

That's a hand in the synagogue I didn't imagine. Not as good as stuffing yet, but pretty bad.

"You told Arshelia at the rookie fight to go ahead and wait like a senior."

"Well... I know you're busy, but I'm not going to say anything wrong."

'That's right. Let's go ahead and wait like I'm first. At least don't get caught up for as long as you can...... I want to be a proud senior so far'

Maybe Mr. Glenn isn't giving up moving on. I understand that the limits are close, and I'm trying to get ahead on them.

"Well, that's why we think it's going to be difficult for Arc Saber to be what he is. I believe that this system will collapse when each clan master begins to make a difference in strength. In anticipation, Riharito and Elmia will be able to get there quite a bit further. I'm the one who won't be able to go about Dadaka, Sword Blade, and possibly the first thing this speeding competition will force me to do. … so you should aim to go beyond me first '

"You're not giving up anything, are you?"

'Walking slower...... no, the speed stays the same, just can't keep up with the faster guys. If the speed at which you walk stays the same, I won't let you out. [M]... I'm looking forward to that.'

I head ahead at a pace that stays the same. If you're going to catch up, tell him to run. He said he was waiting a long way ahead of 100 layers.

"The Hand."

"Ah......"

That's a royal hand from an easy mistake. A few hands would get away with it, but it's completely packed without further ado.

... my loss.

"You haven't."

After waiting, I don't want you to be proud of winning about once.

... Well, let's give up the win now.

[Stationary clock tower]

Up the stairs, that's the center of the room. The spiral staircase continues straight up. Looking over the room, the space was as wide as you could imagine from the word twelve divided circular rooms.

The floor is lined with numbers from [I] to [XII] and drawn up to a clock needle. If you look at the slight movement of the needle, this may indicate the time remaining. If that prediction is true, this needle should circle in half an hour.

The door of the room lined up was also engraved with numbers to match it.

"Then pray for good luck"

That's all Mr. Glenn left to say. Linda on that shoulder, Mr. Night Light, and he runs straight up the stairs with Black.

A spiral staircase would be hard to climb in a horse's body, but it's clever.

"What's with the increase in Rothschild? I'm coming."

Beautiful bow headed for the first room with a light nori as if going out to a nearby convenience store as well.

He doesn't even look equipped with a bow, but how is he going to fight?... you haven't seen him fight yet in the first place.

"You don't even need auxiliary magic... it's just something close to advanced."

"If you look at the rank alone, there's only one difference between us in D and C. From here on out, one of them is big."

+ - That's one rank. The difference becomes so pronounced that it goes up. I guess that means the difference between Mr. Night Light and Mr. Glenn is even more isolated.

"Miyumi is special."

"Does that mean she has something different?

"Good, I can't tell you, but the focus, it's different"

I've been a weird guy for a long time.

Same goes for him, but all the guys at the salad club were pushing through somewhere. I don't think I'm in this world, but if I had been an adventurer, there would have been a whole bunch of people who seemed to be able to make it.

Especially Mr. Dressing. Izuki would definitely be an ace-class delicacy if you were in a labyrinth city. I don't want to be reunited if I'm wrong. There's no way he's decent when he sees the backs of those people.

I'm the only one who's decent in that club. I'm sure he was the only common sense person to have been made director by the erasure method.

"Is it similar to a tuna... I wonder what makes someone from that world different"

"You idiot, there's no such thing as special in that world."

I'm just feeling special because I'm in a labyrinth city with Japanese influence out in Moro. Even that world I was in earlier was probably just reproduced because Beauty Bow was first taken in. It is a matter of order.

"Not much, time, no, so auxiliary magic, I'll do it"

"Oh, oh, please"

Speaking of which, the time limit per room on the ground floor is five minutes. There's not much time to wait.

Have auxiliary magic hung from one end by Mr. Carrot. Because it is unclear what is waiting inside, the MP efficiency appearance includes things that may not be useful. After a short showdown, there is no problem because there are restorative drugs.

Mr. Carrot is not supposed to be a professional auxiliary position, but the degree of enhancement is greater than that of Mr. Mizuki in his post. For what the individual is targeting, it may be powerful.

Then, slightly ahead of the time limit of five minutes, "Talk of Reading" came in from the beautiful bow.

"I knocked him down, yes. The parasite seems to be the same as the monster in the infinite corridor, except it's mounted, playable, and improving."

The strength doesn't seem to be a problem either. It took me a while to observe that it was probably the first.

If you can't get out after five minutes, it's not wrong to collect information. Besides, if you're on the ground floor, you just lose five minutes if you fail to attack by mistake.

If I were to try anything, it could be anything other than this first floor.

The clock needle shown on the floor returns slightly. The beautiful bow was cleared for five minutes, so I guess I switched the whole thing to 35 minutes.

"Before entering the room, The Tale of Reading connects."

- "I will make sure that you and your horse and Miyumi are always able to talk to each other and have conversations. If anything happens, I want you to share information.

Copy that.

- "Sempai. I'm weaker here than I thought. Looks like they're lower than the infinite corridors we know, and their skills are lower than their standards.

- Doesn't that mean it's in the 40th floor of the infinite corridor? ――

- "It's only the first time, so I can't say for sure, but it's sensibly a monster position on the 30th to 35th floor placement." -

Is the standard still strange? It's easier to think that the infinite corridors of this world are set to be more difficult than normal.

Well, it would be good for easier. For this minute, even the fourth floor is equivalent to the 65th floor of the infinite corridor... if it's just us, we might be able to figure it out with a beautiful bow.

"Time to go"

Philos called, so we set foot in the [II] room.

-2 -

It's a simple, fan-shaped stone room inside.

It is an easy place to fight, with no steps or shields. Conversely, it is not suitable for buying time because there is no object that is likely to be a wall for shooting. Either way, it would be in our favor with a time limit imposed.

When the door is closed, that part turns into a wall. It seems to work the same way as it did during the trial. I won't let you out until the time has passed.

In the back is the magic formation. From there the light rose and a monster emerged.

What showed up was a people-shaped monster that wasn't minotaur, orga, or cyclops. I have distorted skin where brown and peach skin are joined together. He's like a modified human being.

"His name is Patchwork. LV31. The pedigree is a Parasite Legion, so you're just like the admin."

Philos started talking hard before I activated the Nursing.

"Do you even know the race or the name?

"One of the Demon Eyes trees called" Breaking Eyes "gave me the extra orb I had in < Arc Sabre >. I use magic, but it starts quickly, so it's convenient."

"I see."

So this guy is making progress with this guy.

Since simultaneous activation with "Magic Eye" is not possible and the skill tree will be treated differently from "Appraisal", the assistive skills for "Appraisal" cannot be affected. Less aptitude, Appraisal Tree skills are sometimes more user-friendly and seem to be less popular. They also have the disadvantage that having too many Demon Eye skills makes switching difficult.

And I heard it after the fight.

There are few occasions to highlight in the battle against patchwork.

With a power fighter utilizing the giant as he sees it, his skills are two of the occasional "Charge Tackle" he uses and "Hammer Brow" he wields a huge fist.

Although there is linear speed, every flow of operation is blunt in the unwieldy type.

Philos tried to get attacked once to try it, but he was also circulating it fine in Hammer Brow, which seems to be Max Power.

Mr. Brief is extra strong, he's just a miscellaneous fish. It won't even extend to the thirty-one layers of orgasms in the infinite corridor.

The giant sank when I scratched the damage and burst Gowen's new move, Buster Crash, into the brain.

It's a hammered, crushed head, but I don't see anything brainy. Maybe the structure is different from ours from the ground up.

If I'm done, I've dealt with it pretty slowly and it hasn't taken me two minutes. I can attack without a problem.

Does the first floor mean how it looks? Or is there a difference from us above the level? I don't have much information.

"I don't think you're feeling very well."

"... does that look like it?

It is true that combat is an easy win and incomplete combustion is a good place. You would also know if you saw movement lacking glory from during the battle. Looks like Philos' eyes couldn't be misled either.

"Oh, I can't feel my usual impatience, my diligence, and finally my spare time. It just seems like we're fighting in a situation."

"... I don't deny it.... What about you guys?

Philos flaunted his shoulders at the words.

They both look alike in my eyes. I don't feel as compelled as I was when I fought in that [Castle of Blood].

"I guess I'm something similar.... Gowen doesn't seem more motivated. I guess I'm fighting thinking about the last concoction. It's pretty distracting."

When I saw Gowen, I was distracted. Exactly. I don't think Mr. Gowen is such a bummer, but I know he's not tense.

If it went well, could you introduce me to a girl or something? Just a phone number or maid for now.

"I suppose you can tell because you're in a similar mood."

It means we don't feel bad about each other. It is an unwilling threesome.

"... this place is too far off my path"

I know this fight is an important event.

The information that that administrator has is very important in solving the mystery of the infinite corridor. This is an occasion for Dammus, or Mr. Glenn, that you can never drop.

Its importance could include the righteous infested one of stopping the war expansion in this world, avoiding the scourge of the neighbouring world.

And the parties Berenvar and Satina are more truthful. The outcome of this battle shapes fate as it is.

On the other hand, I have nothing to lose where I dropped this fight myself. It doesn't mean me personally, even those involved.

I just talked to Berenvar for a bit and I haven't even seen Satina outside of admin mode.

Belen's personality is preferable to the feeling of talking a little bit or what Mr. Corgolo has told me. I'm pretty sure he seems clumsy, but I can believe it's straight goodness at his core.

But I've spent too little time trying to save anything, to feel like I want to help.

I don't like the situation, being taken away by other worlds and wielding disaster to perish, but I still wouldn't feel guilty if I had to. Fire across the shore is also a good place.

If you say it in your personal preference, I hate that janitor. I also know it's dangerous to leave it alone. But I don't hate you, I don't want to kill you.

Sometimes I just let him get away with it, and if he was a damask, he'd probably do something about it.

The truth is, I don't think that administrator is any better than Dammus. I'm just saying that I have authority, and I also wonder if my personal prowess is at best enough to attack 200 layers of the infinite corridor alone. I didn't say it because it's dangerous to assure you, but I think it probably just got 200 layers of control before Dammus did.

I don't feel like I can't manage that dammus at all. That's close to certainty.

There's no way Mr. Glenn is assuming what I'm feeling this way. Even this fight probably has a strong insurance connotation. If we can do more with our hands than Damus is here, we can do something about it.

Not to mention that even if we die here, we'll live again. There is no more guarantee than there is no precedent, but judging from the circumstances, it is no different from an infinite corridor.

First death can be a disadvantage to me, but if I keep on being an adventurer, too, I'll die one day. It's just a story that the first of them will be here.

It would even be avoidable just to cut it off at some point and wait outside the room like Mr. Carrot did.

Neither the risks nor the benefits are significant. Now there's no way to be motivated. I don't know about Gowen, but even Philos, who calls me a goal, would be the same.

It doesn't mean I'm not motivated at all. But that's similar to the feeling of attacking a new layer of the infinite corridor at best.

I don't think he's in a very good mood. I'm not getting serious. I have fought inert while being flushed by the situation. I talked to around Ladine and he's going to stir me up again.

... I'd rather you stir it up.

"Maybe if I were you now, I could win."

"... Different"

That is a good point. Unlike Philos, who can fight perfectly in any situation, and whose fighting power is dictated by conditions and emotions, I can't do all I can with this tension.

"It would have been better if that janitor had been a little more annoying."

I want to kill him. Unless you want to kill me or lose something important.

Honestly, I'm not interested in him. It's too much for a boss. I don't have too many reasons. Looks like Wyburn is still the boss.

"I wonder if it's a good idea to notice early... if we keep this up, someone will fall off on the third floor. Then Jiri is poor. It depends on Captain Glenn, but if you can, you want to buy some time."

I haven't been able to find out how to fight yet, but I'm pretty sure Beautiful Bow is a pure guard. There's a difference in strength. Anyway, in the second half, the avant-garde will be a must.

Regardless of whether each of us can work as a C-rank avant-garde, we won't be talking about the fact that the three of us can't be shielded in one portion.

Bad news is, I'm the one who's going to fall off first if we keep this up.

... What would Yuki say at a time like this? Imagine that guy looking straight ahead in a situation like this. I'm sure you don't have the reward of the < Five Trials >, so you're serious regardless.

What difference does it make? Is it because it's not a trial like newcomers or [Castle of Blood]? No, even that's fundamentally Yuki's trial. Worst case scenario, it's an event where I'm not here.

"I don't know about inviting Berenvar to your clan. Then it's inside you."

"You...... isn't that too appropriate for anything at all?

You'll need to get daily food because you won't be able to get right back to the original world, and you'll have the possibility to do adventurers in labyrinth cities because you're not the kind of guy who eats free meals.

As it turns out, even if he gets into the clan, that's fine. Rather welcome. You can join Mr. Corgolo. But it would be different to motivate that to this battle.

"... right? I just said it because I figured it out too... but I don't think that's a good reason."

That's why I took it too far and put it on. By and large, that ignores his will.

"... Well, he seems like a good guy, so maybe it's not a bad idea to do adventurers with him"

That's the same clan, 'cause it looks like a fun future inside. It will be Ant who invites you after this battle.

- Sempai, it's time for me to go into the next room.

The "Tales of Reading" from Beauty Bow enters.... Is it that time already?

- "Whoa, come on."

- "But you might want to change your offensive policy a little from now on. I'll leave the first floor to Sempai. I'll go into the second floor offense...

That doesn't make much sense. The way it works here, all you have to do is alternate offenses to prevent Rothschild.

- "You know... what is it at a time like this... what are you, an adventurer for? ――

- "... what are you really doing at a time like this... a lot of things. To live, to repay, to party members...

- "There's something else, a desire he wants to fulfill."

Otherwise, it should be difficult to get to C-rank, and most importantly, you don't need to get your hands on the back of an assassination or anything. I guess payback is against Dammus, but even that guy wouldn't mind that.

- "Yes, but... I don't want to say it" -

- "... well, okay... good luck with that."

- "Yes."

I don't want to hear it even though he doesn't want to. That's probably because there's a better reason not to ask. That's what my guess says, and the truth is, I'm not interested in his wishes.

Whether the time limit had passed, the door appeared again.

Leaving the room, Mr. Carrot is standing in the center unchanged. I guess the beauty bow headed for the third room.

"What did Mr. Carrot start an adventurer for?

She made a face that she didn't know why she asked me that. Well, I know it's a sudden question on such occasions.

"Find your father, I will."

Mr. Carrot's wish was to search for his father. The mother is already in the other world, and we don't even know if she's alive. Little clue either. But he thought the labyrinth city could handle it. It's a sincere wish.

The answer is that we are all adventurers with all kinds of ideas.

I hear Sarjes actually has a legitimate wish, too. He's crazy, but that wish is understandable because of the cause of death in his previous life.

He's not noticeable because of his sexuality, but he's pretty hard in his past life.

What about the others?... Philos is listening... and Gowen says he won't even listen.

I feel like Philos said during the duel that Tilia and Gowen were honest with their desires... no way, on the same level as the oak mausoleum aspirations?

Mr. Night Light is... definitely not helpful. I'm not in a state where I can even ask right now, and in that person's case, I could get an answer back because people want to slash me.

Mr. Glenn... what do you think? That guy is like that ultimate on the extension line of a professional adventurer like Moyer.... No, you heard it somewhere. Where is it?

"Glenn from Ark Sabre, Laurent from Meteor Knights, that's especially true of the people at the top. I think they're pursuing the ideal of being responsible for what they've made and being there."

... Yes, Yuki was saying.

It was on the surface then, and I thought there might be a reason for that. But now I'm talking to him and asking him for his sincerity.

Mr. Laurent is chasing the ideal authenticity. That's what I'm trying to be. Mr. Glenn is still trying to be there knowing he can't be that real.

That's the way two people line up at the top of the labyrinth city. Two people who seem similar and too different, but the way they think and the way they are both go after their ideal selves.

"You want to be a good looking self?

'Oh yeah, like that. Isn't that okay? Why? Like that.'

That's what happens if you stick it up. How you can see it from people, and what you think. I guess those people are going for the way they think they look good.

"You wonder what lies ahead of the infinite corridor. I'm an adventurer, so I have to adventure. '

... Oh Yuki looks good. Even though existence itself is a distortion, his own nature is very straight. That way of life wants to be apprenticed.

When I fought cat ears, what made me mean anything? When I fought Mr. Asha, what made me mean anything?

There's nothing wrong with losing. Instead, in a losing and natural battle, I stood up willingly.

That's not what I want to win, because who sees me, or because I find meaning in that will. Because if I fell over there, if I felt sorry for myself, I thought I was dressed badly.

"It's time, Miyumi, I'm coming out"

Says Mr. Carrot, who apparently received The Tale of Reading from Beauty Bow.... have you been thinking about it for such a long time?

Do I look good now? I'm spoiled for the sidekick. Am I dressed up?

... I don't think so. I don't care what you think. I don't see a single good thing. I suck at seeing you as a sidekick.

An excuse to be flushed and taken for granted is an excuse for a guy who can no longer do anything.

Am I doing my best?

... not exhausted. There's something I can do. I'm not even doing everything I can.

Invite Berenvar to the clan? Then at least it won't be me in the position to be able to raise my chest and solicit it. Otherwise, you're too badly dressed.

Now reaffirm to me what we can do.

What we're asking now is to buy time. That cap is four hours. A situation where you don't know how much money you can make is enough.

An hour would be fine for this minute. You can go for two hours. After more than three hours, I really need the help of a beautiful bow.

How about four hours? Fourth floor, no matter how weak the criterion, enemies on the seventieth floor of the infinite corridor are difficult to attack, no matter how beautiful the bow was. You'll definitely need the help of the three of us to buy four hours.

Beauty Bow said the enemies here are weak, so you can get ahead of them. The proposal makes no sense. This is a mechanism where there is no Rothschild as long as there are alternating offenses.

I'm just saying we try to share roles and fight where it suits each of us.... That's not what I need to do right now.

"Tuna... it's time..."

"... bad, you two go next time"

Still no problem, huh? and return gaze.

I hear that's all Philos figured out. Nothing more to say, and the two of us walked into the [IV] room with Gowen.

"What's up, buddy?

"I'll explain when Beauty Bow returns. Don't worry, it's not a stomachache or anything."

A beautiful bow came out of the [III] room less than a minute later.

He looks at me in the room and opens his eyes, but realizes that Philos and the others are not there and turns to a reassuring and suspicious look. I know what you're thinking.

"What the hell is wrong with you? If your stomach hurts, why don't I rub it for you? If you want, some more downstairs..."

I don't want it. It would be a bit of a grassy suggestion if it weren't for you.

"This place, we can attack alone. Just the two of them are overpowered."

"Ha... right. After all, shall I attack upstairs first?

"No, you stay on the ground floor offense. [V] 's room is coming in with me. It's an order change."

-3-

Our role in this dungeon is to buy time. The main force is Mr. Glenn and the others, and we're sidekicks, that's for sure.

If you make at least an hour or two, Mr. Glenn and the others can do something about it. That is a realistic prospect. So nothing wrong with that. But that's not "best."

'In the worst case, that's also somewhat unnecessary, but my hands are beating.... I don't really have a chance of winning this one...'

Mr. Glenn said there's not much chance of the admin stopping him from escaping, but perhaps the contents of it are calling for Dammus.

It is hard to imagine that no matter how much Dammus, time will hang an interruption in this space that is almost stationary. That's the one who might do it, but I'll put that away.

From the fact that there is not much chance of winning, I think he was in critical contact with Dammus before the transfer or something.

This space never stops time altogether. It's just super accelerated. That would also be apparent from the fact that the beautiful bow that came to this world for six months wandered away due to time differences.

In other words, right after that metastasis, it could also be possible to interrupt here if the response on the Dammus side had begun in a few seconds...

It's definitely an optimistic idea. It is also likely that water will be on the baking stone for an hour or two more. But buying time is no different. Then you should aim for the best.

In other words, the best we can do here is complete the fourth floor perfectly. Besides, it would be nice to have an avalanche on the fifth floor after that.

Naturally, there's a good chance you won't be able to attack. Black, you'll need to use a relay called Mr. Carrot to adjust your time to knock down the glass.

Even if you step on the fifth floor, you don't have an idea that we can be of service to your level 100-over opponent, but at least with a beautiful bow, you can cover.

Most importantly, I don't like to miss the end of the story without being in the last place.

What we can do now to increase that possibility a little bit. There are not many options. It is difficult to reinforce any more battles to this occasion.

However, if you want to target it, you have to do the least you can do by the third floor, which seems to make it harder to attack alone. That's individual capability checks, collaborative checks.

The three of us have some confirmation of our abilities. We have checked with each other in the battle to [Castle of Blood] and in subsequent duels and training. We barely have what we can call hidden balls.

But there is one exception here: the beautiful bow. No one but Mr. Carrot has any idea what this guy is capable of. I don't even know how to work together. There is no doubt that it is the maximum force, but there is no system in place to fully utilize that maximum force. It's possible to pull your leg like this.

So the first thing you have to do is check the ability of the beautiful bow on the ground floor where you can afford it. It's not just me, it's all three of us. So change the face of alternating.

This is something that we can only afford to do right now, and if we want the best, we have to do it.

"I see... it's true"

I also told Beautiful Bow, through The Tale of Reading, to Mr. Carrot, Philos, Gowen, and Black in waiting. We got bogged down about Dammus, but they won't be the ones who can't take it.

"So just know in each other's hands and keep it!!"

Sword away the approaching patchwork.

The name is the same, the strength is not very different, but its appearance is as if it had been fought earlier. It's a creepy figure, like two humans being joined to the side. But unlike what it looks like, it's not very strong.

"Then you have no spare time to serve. Let me show you from my trump card."

A beautiful bow to say so is untouchable. For the sake of the shooter, I don't see a bow, a gun, or any other throw.

"I used to use a short bow, and I still use it, but my maximum firepower is this."

- Action Skill: Tomato Cannon

Magic changes into a bow-shaped shape so that it reaches out of both hands of the beautiful bow.

Its shape is huge, and if it's a real bow, it's the size of what they call a siege weapon. Would a barista without a table be close?

Even a bow that cannot be pulled by the physique of a beautiful bow is different if it is an object formed by magic. I didn't pull the string with my hand in the first place.

A giant arrow made of magic, just like a bow, is released toward the patchwork.

- Skill Chain, Tomato Bomber.

The moment it landed, the arrows exploded and the patchwork vanished without a trace. Probably burst from the inside right after the arrow penetrated the inside. It's very powerful.

The time to deploy is a neck, but it has an offensive power commensurate with that time.

"Hmm, what do you say? What's Tomato's special move? Surprised? Surprised?

"Oh, oh..."

Surprised. Powerful, flashy, greedy, to some extent imaginary, but more than that. But what surprised me more than that...

"You don't have that skill name for anything, do you?

"Tomato Cannon" means "Tomato Bomber"... On top of that, it's totally your specialty.

"... Oh, I didn't put it on. I was put on my own."

"... right"

I know that when new skills are created, the Infinite Corridor system generates names on its own, but it won't.

Like Sargess's Full Purge, it's definitely a name given out of your knowledge. Super dash. I'm not telling you to name it after a medium two disease taste overflowing, but there will be something a little more. Sempai is sad.

"The enemy has blown up, so we'll verbally confirm each other's strength."

"That said, Sempai's are generally well known, so it's good to supplement it. Me... this is it later, isn't it?"

That's what Beauty Bow said and it was the tomatoes she took out of the Item Box. Freshly picked from the field. It looks delicious inside if you stick it in place.

"... an emergency meal?

"No, this is tomato. You've seen Sempai."

... Hey, you creepy guy that Yuki was shown in a seabath? That there is a doll on a one-in-one scale......

As the tomatoes put on his palms spun half a turn, he had a creepy face on the other side. I have eyes, nose and mouth, not a deformed face like Halloween, and for some reason I laughed half a bit....... super disgusting.

"... what is it"

"A military tomato based on a one-eighth tomato figure I used to have mayossen pie made...... it's Tomatoes by name! Shit!"

Shit, no.

What's wrong with your design sense? If Izuki was my master, he'd be a little more decent... so this is mayonnaise... I can't help it.

"... can I be clear?

"What is it?"

"Super dash."

"And rude. What do you say to Tomato, who is also my body? Aren't you creepy cute!?"

creepy...... cute? It's a good phrase to hear, but are those two things that can live together?

Even if you look at it this way, the half laughing tomatoes are just disgusting. Let's talk about it in a busy tone.

"Sempai has taste."

"What to say"

Or did you think so, too? Are you saying that my devastating sense was cultivated at the time of my previous life?

"... well good, ask the two of you left if that's cute"

"Hmm. I feel confident about this. Anyway, it's about time that an equal size tomato figure was commercialized."

Isn't that exorcism or something like that? It wouldn't be for fun if I made a mistake.

- "I'm sorry, I'm just saying what's going on..." -

In order to share the information, Phyllos, who had connected the Tales in advance, finally got a scratch.

- "Let me see it later. You're going to see some shocking facts.

- "... you're anxious..."

I'm being shown. I'm still anxious.

"Why? What can they do?"

"Well done. You asked. First of all, these tomatoes, they're deformed and their hands and feet come out."

"Whoa!!"

A human-like limb popped out of the inside of the tomato that was on the palm of the beautiful bow and stood up. I don't know what to do, I'm sick. Don't pose. Don't act on your own like a normal person.

"Tomatoes aren't very strong, but they equip you with small firearms and mines and probes to act like < scouts >"

"Hey, I see... that's good... Tomato, you mean" Z "all over it?

"There are fifteen of them, including those under repair."

It was a fact of shock. Fifteen of these creepy things... When I line up, I'm going to dream about it.

Apparently, Tomatoes can share his sight with Beautiful Bow, each of whom is his master.

It has a stealth function and is compact, making it long for covert actions... And then I actually had it run, but if I'm surprised, it's lumpy. Jumping power is there too. I even have climbing skills.

Depending on the equipment, they will also perform descent operations from ultra-high altitudes. Because it is light, it seems that the parachute is also good for small objects.

Armed is mainly firearms. It's equipped with something like an ultra-compact submachine gun. They're so small, they can be in a hive if they're about the average person.

They carry mines on their backs and use this remotely by operation and, in some cases, for suicide bombings. Tomato is a soldier who does not hesitate to self-determination.

Apparently, it's largely due to the work of these tomatoes that Beautiful Bows are geared up for solitary covert action.

Even in this operation, they were dispersing these guys in Royal Castle in Lardin and conducting an investigation. Sure, if it's the size of these guys, they're going to be able to dive in anywhere.

In addition, there was even Dammus-made equipment, so the investigation can be full and confident.

And what, in case the enemy finds us, we can even pull our hands and feet in and simulate them into tomatoes. It can be used as food for emergencies because it can be activated even if it is half-witted.

It's an all-purpose soldier. The only difficulty is being disgusting. At least I don't want to use it.

As far as the tomato gymnastics going on in front of me, I guess each collaboration is a familiar object too.

In fact, they also sell key holders, figures, etc. in guild shops and specialty stores, and they're starting to sell plain to match the beauty bow visibility. The world is also the end.

There's no fire, so you're saying it's just for reconnaissance.

"Basically, you are. If it helps this time, it's traction and suicide bombing from accidental strikes. It could replace a bomb."

I wonder if this guy has any hesitation in turning them into bombs for what he says is his body.

"It's expensive, so I usually use it to take care of it, but this time, there are sponsors, and we're all ready to make self-determination happen."

"... oh, I guess if you're good"

"Here's the thing about Tomatoes. The rest is my own abilities..."

Any abilities are likely to be sumptuous in front of Tomato's Impact, but the skill composition of the Beautiful Bow is ideal in a way.

Except that he possesses some of the skills of Ranged Attack Specialization, he masters skills by concentrating on various hit aids, power, range, and penetration corrections.

They usually use regular short bows as well, but it's basically Tomato Cannon.

The magic arrow fired from Tomato Cannon seems to be a special treatment of being both a magic and an arrow, and your skills as a < shooter > can be used as they are.

Even though it handles bows and arrows, even empty cans a few kilometers away can be pinpointed for super performance. I don't need super long range sniping capability this time, but it's super awesome.

"What about Sempai? after an exam promoted to intermediate in the example."

I hear Beauty Bow had some information on us before this expedition. They also saw the video via Dammus.

"Then I think I know a lot about it, but the new skills are" Boost Dash "and..."

My new skills are plain. The basic skills of all kinds of weapons will be the main ones, but the result is that we are getting our hands on all kinds of weapons.

"Do you even have a stick on the spear and a bow on your hand?

I tried it and realized it, but I don't seem to be very good at weapons that require a lot of dexterity.

Regardless of the stick, the spears and bows don't come together very well, although I have mastered basic weapon skills.

"It's hard to work together just because you can use it. Axes, daggers, and double swords have not been mastered. After that, some fighting systems and Quick Triggers are quite..."

"Gun skills? Sempai, are you even going to use the gun?

"Yeah, actually, I don't have a license, but I'm only bringing up a dozen for protection on this expedition,"

It would be illegal to use it within a labyrinth city, but it is a loan from Mr. Ladine. I only have two bullets, so it's hard to practice. It's really for protection. It's loaded with a noisy bullet for protection.

By the way, the bow and the gun don't hit each other a little bit apart. It would be different if I had hit-correction skills, but I haven't mastered that hand skill. Maybe he's still not talented.

For now, if you swing it, you can handle it. I've been experiencing this lately, especially when blunt weapons seem to be suitable. As a matter of fact, I haven't mastered any of my knife skills since I got the < Samurai > class.

Other skill delays, cancellations, and category extensions that Sargess and the others have shown will also be explained as long as time permits.

"Something... you're growing funny. It's too distorted."

"Don't say."

Even I know. My skill would be in the form of a scythe and a skewer if I showed it on a radar chart.

It seems that even if some of them are in advanced rank technology, some of them are below the lower ranks. Especially with fewer defense-related skills.

Mostly, training with Mr. Dhadaka is a problem. That guy, he's got a strong spirit to try for now, so he'll be the feather of all sorts of hands to me.

He's a monster who can use his approximate weapon skills, and he's looking for something new on it, so when we train together, we get caught up in it.

The result is a distorted skill configuration.... Well, I don't think it's a bad idea.

"It's a distortion, but if I take one wrong step, I'm going to lose, too"

"Exactly. I don't think you can beat the guy up there."

My skill structure is a collaborative specialization. It has explosive power, but if you make a mistake, it is a beating configuration that ends as is. At least there's no stability.

By and large, this guy's serious is going to be dealing with fifteen tomatoes, and he's too passive for a lot of people. If you get entangled and blow yourself up, you're out.

-4-

Thereafter, the members are switched to confirm collaboration and conduct respective competency surveys.

I don't intend to increase Rothschild, so it can be a personal battle when switching members, but if it's on the ground floor, it doesn't have much impact.

The details are in the form of supplements in The Tale of Reading, and the ideal formation has also been seen.

"It's basically a short-term showdown because there are no restorators and the auxiliaries are Vivian dependent. It would be just fine for this condition. The second half of the enemy's defense would go up...... I think the third and fourth floors would be using Mr. Philos as a shield and the fire power would be my schematic. Sempai and Mr. Gowen are playing and buying time..."

I agree with that. The monsters positioned above will be strong, although they are still in no condition with our firepower. It is ideal to make use of it because it has fine firepower.

The ground floor attacked all the rooms without any problems.

Everything that came out was patchwork the same. The names are just the same, all in different shapes. Or maybe these guys are treated like chimeras, a bunch of multiple races. Because the enemy's best friend is a parasite, that could be enough.

"But then, I wonder where the center is."

"Your brain... you didn't.... you mean there's a body hidden somewhere?

"Nuclei exist even in magical life forms like tomatoes and golems. You think there's an organ somewhere with that kind of function."

Tomatoes, were you treating me like a magical life form?

If you have a weakness, you can aim for it, so it's easier to attack...

Go upstairs. There is no significant difference in the composition of the room. The big difference is the number of rooms. Six against twelve on the ground floor. Although the colour of the floor had changed, the fact that it was a watch did not change.

With no loss of Rothschild other than the first few dozen seconds, what's going on is the time it took to attack. Soon we'll be switching to something that's made the circle an hour and a half.

Philos is the only one currently attacking [XII], the last room on the ground floor.

It has been a solo attack twice to reduce Rothschild and increase the number of combinations with Beautiful Bow, but our strength is fine.

Except for Mr. Carrot, there are three of us here: Me, Beautiful Bow and Gowen.

We have to decide what to do with the offensive members upstairs, but even though they are weaker than we assumed, we just want to avoid the risk in the first attack, where the infinite corridor is reinforced by ten layers.

"I guess the three of us should come in just for the first time upstairs."

"... you can't help it. If it's safe to assume that Rothschild will occur, we should all try."

Although the staircase will take some time to travel, it will only take a few seconds to get to the adjacent room. Unless the enemies inside are weaker than you can imagine, it will be fundamental that the three of us attack, one stands by and prepares for auxiliary magic.

Depending on the circumstances, we might all attack and Mr. Carrot might as well get inside.

However, the upstairs room [II-I], where time had come and footed in, was slightly different from what had been assumed.

There is no significant difference in the structure of the room. The time has spread, and the fans have expanded, to the extent that the room has grown. The enemy is reinforced as expected. an increase of ~ 10 is seen at the level.

... the problem is number.

- "Philos, Mr. Carrot, change of plan. From now on, we'll all hit it.

- Is something wrong? ――

- "Three more enemies have emerged."

There are three more distorted patchwork before us. It looks like each site has been added to pieces and should also be called an experimental body.

If you think about the level, this is critical for us to attack alone. Except it's without a time limit. It's too risky to challenge alone given the strategy within enough.

The ground floor is really looking good, so it looks like it's the real deal from here.

"It's still okay, but the problem is on the third floor"

... Whatever the time limit will be thirty minutes, what if it increases to nine bodies?

The first room…… [II-I] is cleared by the three of us without any problems. Continuing, in [II-II], we could afford to rendezvous with Mr. Philos and Mr. Carrot.

Mr. Carrot is primarily supportive, but it's not like he still can't use offensive magic. It's not good for armor to pass an attack on her like paper, so you need to pay attention to the formation, but it still made the offense easier for more firepower.

Auxiliary magic is performed at the standby time after the attack. Given the duration of the enhancement, it is not necessary to multiply it every time, but multiply the effect that is likely to expire in consultation with the MP.

If it stays like this, upstairs is fine.... Yes, upstairs is fine.

The time limit after the third floor coincides with thirty minutes, which is the original excess time. I won't be able to drop one further than I've already lost a few dozen seconds in Rothschild.

"You better not think about Rothschild anymore"

- "Black. After we confirm our strength in [III-I], enter the fifth floor. You know what's been going on so far.

- "Understood."

Instruct Black waiting on the fourth floor when to ask him to enter the fifth floor.

Depending on the strength of the battle that comes out, you have to put Keri on in that thirty minutes. Even if not, this will be the only place to get into the timing.

"Mr. Carrot moved to the fifth floor as we entered the fourth floor room. Give me more information."

Mr. Glenn is probably treading and attacking that he can attack up to the third floor. It is a tactic that anticipates the rescue of Dammus until critical, but it is necessary to convey the prospect of a fourth-floor offensive.

There is only one room on the fourth floor. I mean, that's the last of it. If you don't have to think about re-hanging the auxiliary, Mr. Carrot should not go into the room and have him turn to the transmitter.

Besides, the fourth floor is difficult to infer from this situation. It's hard to protect her.

And we're going into the third floor.

"... this is hard, though as expected"

Philos squeals, but everyone will feel the same way. Nine enemies emerged. Besides, it's all enemies reinforced from upstairs by a further ten layers. level to an average of 50.

No matter how weaker than the infinite corridors of this world, this number is tough inside. By simple calculations, you have to take two enemies per capita that are above the level.

But the experience gained so far in the battle, from the touch, shouldn't be impossible.

- "Black. It looks pretty tight, but the third floor seems like it can handle it. Tell them to fight on the premise that they can't attack on the fourth floor.

It looks a little brilliant in there, but we'll figure it out. It's still only tight. I don't feel despair.... Not yet to this extent.

"Nice, it's finally starting to feel like my usual nori"

"... right"

The feeling that it was all over me was tightening. As usual, I won't say anything, but it looks like Gowen is starting to concentrate, too.

Finally, it's my fight.

-5-

That, modestly speaking, would be a battle worthy of calling it a fierce battle. Our attacks don't lead to damage, and most damage sources are beautiful bows.

Hardly. If it's Gowen's Buster Crash, the damage goes through, but it's just not realistic to defeat it.

HP other than the beauty bow was less than half, especially in a situation where Mr. Carrot was devastated and not strange whenever he died.

Ready for damage to guard. If you don't die, it's fine. In other words, it is the usual nori.

There are two rooms on the third floor. The time taken to attack the first [III-I] is twenty-five minutes in total. Pretty critical.

There could have been cases where just one wrong hand would have exceeded the time, or someone would have fallen off. But we're all safe for now.

Plainly, Tomatoes' struggle is also huge. No offense, but an ambush with a submachine gun from somewhere else after hiding in stealth. Thanks to our thorough manoeuvre, it was easy for us to move. It's a bastard's preferred method of warfare with few friendly fires. Too tannic. However, it is still difficult, if not impossible, to defend against, even in the aftermath, if the enemy strikes, he dies easily. Four bodies fell out in this one fight alone when they mounted on the enemy and included the one that blew itself up.

A self-destructive attack of unhesitant madness would have remembered a rush of fear if the opponent had decent thoughts. Nannon.

Less time to recover and re-hang the aid, but hurry to get ready for the next one.

He jumped into the second [III-II] on the third floor. He showed up in front of us unchanged. Nine patchwork. None of them have the same shape. Only the arms are extremely developed, even winged, slime-like viscous monsters. I'm sure it's going to be a hard fight, but even we've already established a combination in this fight. Tomatoes is also working plain hard.

Momentum to cut the attack speed of [III-I], but proceed with annihilation carefully.

The strategy of this dungeon also came into play in the second half of the battle, and the important thing that emerged was to hit the firepower of the beautiful bow anyway. Creating an environment for this. The role will be with me and Gowen. With Mr. Carrot still around, Philos is a complete shield.

The problem is the number of enemies. To deal with nearly double the number of monsters, no matter how we are burdened by the avant-garde. The red vegetables help, but they just don't count.

Even with support from behind, the situation gets worse over time. Conversely, if the enemy is reduced in one piece, we will be considerably easier. That will accelerate the attack speed too. Anyway, it's important to reduce the number.

The hell with Tomato Cannon. There are no misshots of beautiful bows so far. It's a big deal.

Without a healer, we're a mess, but this is something we're used to.

Watching Gowen waving the hammer next door looked a little fun.... He's used to these occasions, too. Empathy.

Six left.

As soon as the patchwork blown in Gowen's Hammer Crash was wrapped up in one place, Beautiful Bow's Tomato Cannon landed and exploded in tandem with Tomato Bomber. Good combination.

The number of enemies was greatly reduced when the triplets were wrapped up. Now the latter three...... It's the packing phase. The hell I put it through the back, but Philos has it. Gowen's on his way.

- The numbers don't match.

"Sempai! Up!"

A screaming beauty bow sounds and I enter the defense system before confirming it.

Coming down from the ceiling are distorted creatures made up of wings and spear-like mouth objects. That's what came rushing at speed.

When. When did you lose it!? No, I don't care about that. Now guard this guy's offense anyway!

Although that attack isn't activated because of skill, it's hardly a spear... the spinning drill itself. My whole body is a murder weapon, and it's coming at me. The sword is not the only way to prevent this.

- - Action Skill: The Great Shield

Expand the shield in a daze. But he even comes straight through it galloping. What a monster.

"Nna!!"

Twist your body and minimize damage where possible.

There's nothing I can do to get sidelined. With awkward HP manipulation, I imagine tending the membrane to the peritoneum. It should be better than not doing it.

The damage could have been mitigated somewhat, and he slipped backwards through the meat on my flank. Philos is ahead of us.

"Phyllos!!"

No matter how fast it is, there is a distance. It is possible to escape. But Philos stayed on the spot without hesitation and adopted an interception system.

... Behind it was Mr. Carrot. Sure, you can't go through there as a shield.

- Action Skill.

- Skill Chain.

With the Devil's Shield, Philos' shield, which forms a double wall of magic, receives a patchwork thrust.

I just took it. It hasn't stopped. There is also the possibility of being pierced as it is. Gowen noticed, but he can't make it with the whole deal anymore. Neither Mi Bow nor Mr. Carrot can handle this at this time.

I'm the one who can make it.

- Action Skill: Boost Dash

I throw down my sword, ignore the pain in my flank, and run to patchwork. It is a skill that still cannot grasp distance and acceleration, but it is ignored at this time.

- Skill Chain: Rolling Sobat

There was no time to activate the Instant Costume, so activate the direct Sargess "Rolling Sobat" without a hand.

It was almost like a beating, but I managed to hit my leg on the body of the patchwork.

Patchwork momentum weakens. We got through the crisis, but it's not a good idea to distance ourselves from this guy. It's gonna be a beating again, but I don't have a choice.

- - Skill Chain "Instant Costume: Ladine Special II - Quick Trigger" -

Keeping the kick unleashed, deploy the gun in your right hand.

Activate only one acquired gun skill. This skill is only designed to speed up a series of shots. It won't take a hit correction, and the power stays the same.

But in this way, cooperation is connected. And the loaded bullet was handed over for protection. Save it.

- < Hevi Penetrator >.

"Whoa, whoa!!"

I rely almost exclusively on surveys to pull the trigger.

At the next moment, the < Hevi Penetrator > was fired with the shock that his arm might lift. What is this, super painful?

Luckily, the bullet fired fell through the center of the patchwork. It feels like a tailoring.

Roll unbroken on the ground with recoil. I looked up in a hurry, but by then the other two were already like after I had finished. It was dangerous at the end, but they managed to win.

"... bad, thank God. I was listening, but it's amazing, that."

"... it's a coincidence that I hit it. Besides, you only have one shot left, so don't count on it."

Philos offered and came. Take the hand, and stand up.

But Ladine's got a hell of a gun, too. What's for protection? I thought my shoulder would come off. What are you thinking, an adventurous, unbearable recoil bullet or something?

Or I didn't think it would hit me. It's only a few meters away, but I'm the one who takes it off.

"Okay... now that's a third floor offense"

My stomach hurts. Pain suddenly began to work when the battle was over and tension could be lifted. And then my right arm hurts too. Take out the potion with your trembling hands and drink.

"It ended pretty quickly, but what do we do next"

What Beautiful Bow is saying is whether or not to try the fourth floor. Even the third floor was so messy, and there were dangerous occasions. Given the difficulty, a fourth-floor offensive would be difficult.

"You know what? Intermediate Rank Adventurers take too many safety margins."

"Ha... I've heard of it..."

"... we are adventurers. Even if you find it difficult, it is the adventurer who should try. It hurts, it hurts, it doesn't die. We know we can't do this. We're the ones pushing through the impotence."

Try the fourth floor. Try even if you can't. If you can, we're going in to the fifth floor.

That's not about the time limit or the administrator. That doesn't matter. Because we're the ones moving forward.

There's no way a guy can run the shortest distance to infinity knowing it's hard, right?

"... ok. Looks like the two of us are willing, and I'm not the only one who can pull it off."

Sure don't bother you to get out of it. It's definitely the maximum firepower.

... was more powerful than I expected < Hevi Penetrator >, but that was close to insurance. I have another shot, but I won't be able to stand the barrel any longer.... That's why it's two shots. Rather awesome to be able to fire two shots.

Mainly my treatment takes time, but I managed to get ready in time, including re-use of auxiliary witchcraft.

There are few items left for Mr. Glenn to share, but they are still acceptable. Armed endurance values are still fine. Tomatoes is...... it seems there are three left to move. They're more drained than expected.

"Mr. Carrot does not enter the room on the fourth floor, but waits as he is. If you only tell him if he can be attacked by the Tales from the inside, you can go in on the fifth floor."

"Yes, sir."

"Exactly. I don't think I can handle this triple number."

As Beautiful Bow put it, previous patterns would triple the number after being ten layers stronger.... if it's ever been a pattern.

"... I don't think so."

"... right"

Philos denies it, but I agreed. Gowen is also nodding. This is close to certainty.

"I couldn't grasp that administrator's character, but I'm pretty sure he's a nasty guy. I guess it's worse than Lydin."

"Whatever makes the array comparable, it would be different if it was this flow.... harassment awaits."

"... it feels like you're used to something like this."

Right.

What hurdles do I have to stand on the other side to harass them? If you imagine what a red-haired vampire might think, I think it's pretty much a hit.

We are all three of us who have been torn apart.

"So how many do you think will come out? I don't know, a hundred..."

"" What the hell ""

Me and Philos' answers overlapped.

You know better than that.

Mi Bow gave a look like he was taken aback, but given a little thought, he had a point. With this expansion, the boss is in one piece.

If he's an entertainer, he will. It's a similar idea to running a labyrinth city. Perhaps even the mental structure has a similar part.

I can't say Glass or Russ Boss, but that's Mr. Glenn's boss. You should be setting it apart from ours.

"... if that's the premise, one thing. It's more of a parasite legion than a patchwork, but they have weaknesses."

"What, did you spot something?

"I've confirmed that parasitic leggion is parasitic in an important part of their bodies. It's almost adhesive, integrated, but if you pull it off completely, the body will stop moving as well.... I can't be honest with you if it's more than one, but I was wondering if I could go for it."

"What's important... is the location... falling apart?"

Those guys had empty brains, and their shapes fell apart in the first place. What a drill that guy was.

"If it's human... brain or heart... I think"

"Doesn't sound certain, but it seems worth the shot"

It's a thin battle anyway. If it's going to be a beating, that's fine. If you think Tomato Cannon's precision shooting might help, it's our role to feed them.

The time limit ends. All we have to do is run up to the fourth floor like this and try the last room.... No, if you say the ideal, after beating it, avalanche into the fifth floor.

It could end before then... but I don't care.

It seems plain to me that I don't know the information on the fifth floor. You're not struggling.

-6-

The fourth floor is a simpler structure than ever. There's only one staircase and one door, and a circular room with nothing.

"Let's go then. Mr. Carrot, I asked for a message."

"It's Rika, blah, blah."

Leaving Mr. Carrot alone, the four of us dive the door.

That was a bigger space than I expected. The room is spread out in a way that surrounds the entire perimeter of the tower where we came out. Probably the other side is connected in a doughnut shape.

Clearly bigger than the fourth floor. … however, we have a giant monster, it's an atmosphere.

Familiar magic formations appear at the back of the room, opposite from the disappeared door.

"Well... what's coming out?"

Yeah, I told Beautiful Bow, but there's plenty of potential for multiple bodies. If that administrator hadn't thought of anything, there would be a line called twenty-seven patchwork.

…………

But what came out was unexpected. If not large, it's not multiple. Standing on top of the magic formation is a united human form. That's a bingo.

Tall but not much different from us...... oh well known face.

"Beren...... var"

A man who was betrayed in this battle stands there.

At the end of the day, my bad taste is in full swing. Oh, that janitor knows damn well... it sucks.

"That's not good. … that's not normal."

You can see that. Obviously not conscious of the person. My eyes don't reflect us.

The silver hair stands upside down, and the two horns grown on the head are badly reshaped and huge. Above all, I don't see reason in my expression.

In its hands is not an iron sword supplied with lardin, but a mysterious black sword.

The killing spirit that wraps up the black temper is not much different from that of the beast. He says the overwhelming signs that come through the billies are the strong ones close to that deformed glass.

With such ferocious signs, Berenvar approached one step at a time.

"Race name Parasite Legion, name Berenvar Igmut. Base LV83. The class is...... Demon King"

What Philos "nursed" proved that Berenvar in front of him was a complete enemy. But more than that...

"... Demon King?

...... weird. There shouldn't have been a class when Mr. Carrot "nursed"......

- "Vivian, run to the fifth floor now! The fourth-floor offensive was judged difficult. Tell him we're going to attack without any extra time.

- "... is something wrong? ――

- "The opponent is Berenvar. Details are unknown, but < Demon King > has been awarded a class.

- "… Roger. Good luck, Miyumi.

A demon king with a nigga and a creepy laugh was telling us this was our place of death.
