Over The Infinite

-1 -

The next day, the day of infinite corridor attack arrived.

There are six members: Sarjes, Gaul, Tilia, Moya, and Borg. Except for Moyer, it's the 36th floor underachievers.

This time the goal will be to reach its thirty-sixth level. It's not like I have a boss, it's just a dungeon offense.

"All right, guys, forget about Mr. Yuki. It's a dungeon attack for now."

"Yesser!"

... strange, only Mr. Borg replies.

"You're a pretty bad guy, too."

"You have no choice. I found out where I was and even installed the interview, so all I have to do is let it unfold."

We should focus on the dungeon offense. No matter how many tactical routes you have, you will fail if you lack concentration.

"Or does Mr. Gaul have a good idea of making things easier?

"... I don't know because I've never met him, but can't a dungeon master do that?

"That's the extreme of bad hands. If you take the story to Dammus, it's going to be even more difficult."

I can't think of a way for that guy to respond sincerely to this hand problem. Such an interesting project would be more likely to be scratched around. It seems like a more serious, life-targeting situation or something like that would solve it quickly.

This means that Dammus should not be allowed to be present with fine problems. It results in less good results just to be known.

"I'm fine. Time does not pass during the dungeon attack. Just forget about Yuki."

"Well, that's true."

"Well, Mr. Tilia, as usual, I'll strain you, but I'll ask for an iron wall guard."

"Oh, wow, is that me? Yes, I'll do my best."

Forced to shake it off topic to Tilia and forcefully cut the story off.

We all know you can't help worrying about this place. At least you should forget it while you're in the dungeon.

"By the way, what was the manager's reaction to this previous radio recording?

"Huh? At first I had a dry laugh, and I held my head in the corner of" The Immediate Princess Knight "

It is a normal reaction. The manager is still fine.

... I'm a little worried about Moya these days. You have a head too.

The thirty-first tier of the infinite corridor went well just to say what the last challenge was.

It's a normal cave, where no orga or brief taurus comes down like rain. Slow curves, lots of lifting and lowering areas make it harder to grasp the overall structure compared to stone dungeons, but that's no problem if the map is also completed beforehand. You can call it a clap.

We started the attack without deploying a cottage in the safety area, as we did last time, and we were able to proceed to the middle of the hierarchy without any particular problems.

There are many monsters out there, but basically most of them are small. Previously unbridled worm-based monsters are hissing.

I have a physiological aversion to that ecology, but it's all the food I mouthed when I was living in the mountains. Even though it's far bigger than that, it can't hold us back to a disgusting extent. Rather, it seems that they will consider how to cook it to make it delicious. If I kill him, I'll demonize him, so I'll just consider it.

Normally, the women who seem to hate bugs don't seem particularly concerned either.

"Small Psynoga Parts No Gap Ni In Tte Kurnoha Trouble Nanode, This Time Hachant Coated Citeki Masita"

Only Bog doesn't seem to be good in an unwise direction, but that seems to have been taken care of last time too.

That's why we proceed with the dungeon offense. It's not even a walk, but it's a comfortable exploration.

By the way, I'm used to it, so I can just say this, and I think if the average person steps in, he'll freak out in a huge swarm of giant bugs.

"Is this what this is all about?

"I think the difficulty of this structure is considerably lower, but honestly I was wondering if the last time was just too bad"

"It was a huge hassle floor."

I want to scream that it's not my fault, but this time it's an average difficulty configuration.

I can't say it's easy to win by mistake because thirty-one layers are called walls.

The complex map structure was fine because it had pre-measures in place, but the overall area is wider than the average structure. It is a distance that takes more than a day to spare, even if it breaks through the shortest distance.

Stepping through this while exploring is simply not enough time. A big factor would be that Yuki and the others were pulled out in one shot because of the Ladine bug. And lots of traps. So much so that exploring without trap control such as < scouts > is suicidal. Moyer can handle it, so there's no problem, but some of them are traps that can kill you instantly with one shot.

"Mines, poison arrows, flamethrows, gas, alarms calling monsters, spear-placed pitfalls on the bottom, a bunch of killer traps."

"Be careful when touching the wall as well as the floor"

They haven't come out hierarchically yet, but there are also traps on the floor ahead that activate infrared, weight, and light, or time difference.

Bomb disposal?... you can't just watch your step. Coming this far, there's going to be a teleporter trap too. Whoa.

It's better than combat to call it < scouts >, but Moyer is also versatile in handling this hand. I can leave it to you quite safely.

But it doesn't mean it's safe when dealing with traps. When a monster strikes, this one will have a small number of wings to deal with. Depending on the location, one person may turn to the Moyer escort.

In other words, the difficulty of this dungeon is justifiably high. I'm getting used to crazy difficulty like [Bloody Castle] and [Stationary Clock Tower], and then thirty-one layers of ghost difficulty, so I'm going to get the wrong idea, but even this difficulty is a difference between cloud mud compared to by thirty layers. At least it doesn't change that we can't move on from the entrance with adventurers who struggle in shallow layers.

Sometimes I forget, we are freshly promoted intermediate adventurers. Regardless of the cat ear, it is supposed to be in a position that is not originally related to such powerful enemies as Mr. Asha or Demon King Berenvar. Even Lotte would be suspicious.

Simply put, there was room for offense. Though the burden of Tilia and Moyer is great in position, they are strong enough to compensate for it. So much so that he's even saving ammunition for a rosy borg.

The time taken to explore each layer is about one day in three days. Look for random repositioned crates and rest before moving to the next hierarchy. I hunt monsters based in cottages. I was able to level up Gaul and Tilia a little late.

In the material there is no extreme difference in structure to the thirty-fifth layer, which is the relay point. The last passage of the thirty-fifth layer that Yuki and the others ate the ambush is cautious, but I wouldn't be scared if I knew that in advance either.

... and I thought.

[Infinite corridor, thirty-fifth floor]

"I seem to have been taking a sweet look at Tsuna's accident physique."

"Accident Physique Don't Say"

"No, it would be an accident physique. Why do crusade designated species appear only this time when they didn't show up last time?"

Relay point, which is the goal. Me and Moyer, Gaul, were running into the long passage and square in front of them, the little passage a little back from there. Sarjes, Tilia and Borg are not here.... just the three of us. We were completely cut off.

"In the meantime, the Rangers seem to have sprayed it."

Gaul returns, who was on reconnaissance to the corner of the aisle. Although the crisis has left, we can be on our way.

"And more importantly..."

"I've been watching Tilia's weakness for orcs sweetly."

"He's not anymore."

I was aware of Tilia's weakness, but still no confirmation of the oak species was made the last time Yuki and the others attacked. Naturally, there is no such description in the material made by Moyer either. In fact, he hasn't appeared this far, but it's only an arranged miscellaneous fish monster, apart from the crusade-designated species.

... Yes, once again, it is a crusade-designated species. How many times should I encounter them? Weren't we talking about something that doesn't appear so much? It's not rare at all.

The basic performance is high, Tilia, who has played the difficult role of plain main shield and healing every time, but came here and natural enemies emerged.

No matter how weak you are, there's nothing like being hit by a blow if you're still just an orc opponent. However, it was the crusade-designated species < Oak Champion > that emerged.

Tilia, who was so close to the iron wall as a shield, fell as soon as he came out.

Its figure is giant, wrapped in thick fat all over its body as well as muscles and covered with iron-like skin. Boneless one-handed axe on your right hand. Not as flashy as some < Oak General > outfit. Wearing protective gear is plain to protect only steep points.

Tilia, who is not dead but devours such < Oak Champion > attacks directly in front of her, has passed out. Bog's suicide bombing, which drove him, made us stop, but we were completely cut off.

If Sargess hadn't held the two of us and broken through with The Tornado Kick, those two would have been totally dead.

There is no way to verify that it has been disconnected, but I think we have reached a safe relay point...

'Come on, I can't help it. I'll take care of this place. Huh!

Suddenly it was a rap and the appearance of Tilia, who tried to stand alone even though she didn't need it at all, was too bad. You remembered the same sight, Moyer covering his face.

Kill me, it would be just tank disqualification for a woman to raise her voice that she shouldn't even have time to say and be stretched out in just one shot.

... since it's not just an oak, it's a crusade designated species, should I take a big look at it?

"You have no choice. This time stick to the time limit and next time..."

"No, I probably can't do that"

No matter how large the floor is here, it will be possible to stick to the time limit and go back to the previous layer.

But he came out with multiple < oak rangers >, not one. They weren't attacked while the Oak Champions fought, but they started hunting as soon as we escaped. They don't have a lot of power themselves, but they're sharing each other's location information, so if one of them finds us, reinforcements show up immediately.

Anyway, if we're going to end up with a blow soon to be noticed, if we do it properly, reinforcements will be here as soon as possible. And further reinforcements would be < oak champions >.

Moyer alone may manage to escape, but even though he's an oak, he doesn't know what a Ranger is. "Hidden Bodies" works for his opponent. They are stage devices to prepare the battlefield for the < Oak Champion >.

What's the best solution to fix this situation? The means available are limited.... you don't have to worry about it.

"... the three of us will break through"

"Ku...... Ha ha, that's just great. It's funny."

Moya laughs as she waited for the word. The face is full of joy, although the voice of the < Oak Ranger >, who continues to defend his enemies, cannot find out.

You, I thought you were a prudent guy for occasions like this, how long have you been a battle junkie?

"Whatever the tuna is, it's up to you."

"Instead of avoiding obstacles, it's Tsuna's way to take them down, isn't it? Wouldn't that be nice, a second crusade, a designated species killer?"

"No, if we can get out of the safe zone, we can get out."

Why is it a crusade premise? If I can get away with it, I'll get away with it, you monster.

It was as devastating as it was when Wyburn, but only Tilia, who almost deserved it, got hit. I don't want to revenge even if I'm stirred up.

"It is Mr. Tsuna who is forced into a state where he has to be defeated. I generally understood."

"Wow... something awesome and convincing.... I just have to get my stomach full."

"You guys..."

It is a terrible word for both of us.

I'm sure there are a lot of patterns like that, including in previous lives, but I'm not going on and on special attacks.

... Fair enough. I'm killing you with LV0. I don't know if you're a champion or not, but I'm gonna show you the power of Oak Killer.

Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to ignore the < oak champion > and head ahead.

He's lined up in the room in front of the final corridor, waiting for us. If Oak Ranger finds someone, he'll move over there, so if one of us gets stuck, he might get out. He also told me if Moyer, who has already broken through to the relay point once, would like to turn it down, but that is dismissed.

"I got eyes on him."

In the party, obviously, the only thing that made a difference was how you reacted to me. From the last time Yuki and the others tried, I don't know if his appearance condition is my title skill, Oak Killer.

If that's the assumption, there's a good chance he won't move if he's stuck with something other than me. If it's just Gaul, it makes sense to let him go ahead, but he doesn't accept that. Then it wouldn't be a bad idea to try.

Luckily, when I scouted, there was no < oak ranger > around the < oak champion >.

Moyer says he has a lot of skills that can be corrected in solo combat, the kind he calls a race heroic monster. Conversely, having company nearby weakens it. I mean, if you're going to take him down, you won't get in the way. You need to be vigilant after you defeat them, but the only thing left is the understated Oak Ranger. I think I can do it if I'm creative enough to get through the aisle.

"You know... if you're good at solo combat, what happens when you catch one of the < oak rangers > around there and leave it in that room in a state of imminent death?

Although it is a very outward-looking proposal, Gaul's question is best. In fact, it's no different to solo combat, but the skills offered by the dungeons have many systemic elements. It is quite possible that just having allies within range does not activate.

"What do you think?

"... the heroic race is also likely to have the ability to power up their people in the event of their death nearby, so that leaves them at risk, but still there should be less upside than solo combat correction... shall we try"

As such, Moyer took home one of the < Oak Rangers > who was wandering around. After removing the joints all over his body, he's restrained, blindfolded, his mouth sewn, and he's in a coma.

What you're doing is definitely villain. Cruelty Superman is also brutal in bright blue. Gaul, the proponent, is also a donkey in the misery of Oak Ranger.

It's a quick hit from here because I'm afraid they'll report the place in some way when I wake up from a coma. Throw what was < Oak Ranger > into the room and we'll go into battle too.

But against us, the Oak Champion was a hero.

His men were held hostage and the fierce < Oak Champion > challenged us to battle from the front. No need for clever moves. Power alone compensated for everything else. Extra combat power was what I deserved to call a lonely hero.

Nevertheless, the mighty enemies that have confronted us so far are more than that. There is nothing more intimidating or frightening about it now.

- Action Skill "Instant Costume: Grand Golem Hand - Hevi Brow" -

Entering the hall and leaping, I unfold and punch the Grand Golem Hand from above. The overwhelming mass was beaten by the < Oak Champion >.

There is one thing I found out when I used the < Grand Golem Hand >, which was sold in binary text. Actually, he's a shield, but he's a hand. I'm sure by hand because it's a hand, but in short, I can open and close it with the will of the handshake. Besides, it's an excellent product that can also use boxing moves. It is mandatory because it cannot be used as a hand unless the required value is reached.

Discard the < Grand Golem Hand > while beating it up. Even though they were not opponents to be crushed by a huge mass, their legs stopped.

Gaul's Blizzard Breath follows me when I leave. Secure the feet of the slightly stopped < Oak Champion > to the ground. It was impossible to completely ice marinate it, but it folded in. Aim is the foot. The ice that froze my leg is also crushed from the inside in an instant, but it's enough clearance to knock the attack in.

Expand the sword and let < Oak Champion > thin again. Moving on to a simultaneous attack with Moya, who was dazzling himself in Hidden Bodies. The attack hit. Both are direct strikes.

But the moment it hit me, it was an intense red flag that ran through my spine. This guy, he's not defending. I'm not willing to. I'm going to take the damage and move on to the attack regime.

"Run!!"

This is where we're attacking. That advantage only dulled Moyer's judgment for a moment. Moyer's body flies in Backhand Brow by Oak Champion. You could have reacted with my voice. Not a direct hit, but they flew unusual distances.

The axe in the right hand of the Oak Champion swings against me without time to "break" to check the condition of Moyer.

This is a blow you shouldn't take head-on. Even if defended with weapons, they are pushed off as is.

Recirculation. Shift the target's orbit with a sword. His power is confirmed. It's not normal. Follow that power and flush the attack.

- Action Skill

But what he's unleashed is a weapon destruction move. Weapons have been destroyed for circulation. The opponent is a monster worth a dozen layers away. Are the weapons handled differently, too, just one blow and my sword crushed to pieces.

Not good. The opponent's movement hasn't stopped yet.

- Skill Chain, Strike Axe.

The basic moves of the axe that are then unleashed. That's just the moves that add power and attack speed to a simple orbit.

However, if those who deal with such basic moves are strong, they transform into simple and powerful skills. That's what I've felt so far in the battle. I expanded my shield in Instant Costume and guarded it head-on.

"Grr!!"

Even though it's not "Shield Break," the shield is half-baked. The attack, which penetrated through his arms to the bone, convinced him that the shield would not last another blow.

The < Oak Champion > has not stopped moving. If there is a subsequent attack, it could be dropped with a single blow. The air shivered and the < Oak Champion > moved into the next collaborative skill position.

"Ugh!!"

- Action Skill

Gaul jumped in from side to side to intercept in < Oak Champion > 's collaborative skills. A metal claw attached to his leg stormed the face of the < Oak Champion >.

- Skill Chain.

Continue, pursuit with nails equipped with flip yourself and hand in the air. < Oak Champion > doesn't look frightened, but does it appear that the skill activation was stopped or rigidity occurred?

Attack? No, we should get a distance here for once. I'm not even in the right position to attack.

Once Moyer throws it from the side, it's all backup and bitterness pierces the arms of the Oak Champion.

Damn, I was expecting it, but it's a damn thing. It is a performance that I would like to say is really out of solo combat correction.

The attack power and speed suck, but most importantly, the hyper-armored state that acts in disregard of any of these attacks is troublesome.

On the other hand, not so much defense. Damage is coming through. The offense so far alone shredded a fifth. Definitely not the person in character, but not even numerically.

Probably the most effective weapon in this situation for the opponent who doesn't even try to avoid it is < Ladine Special II >, but it is under maintenance and is not on hand.

Then we'll just have to get out front, but meeting head-on is a fool. And skill collaboration is more of a fool. I'm sure he'll break in even during the collaboration.

Less time to repart. It is best to take a short distance and deploy new weapons in Instant Costumes.

The weapon you deploy will not be destroyed if it comes with Unbreakable. If you say it by the rank of the weapon, even the knife I got from Mr. Night Light < red > seems to be able to counteract it, but if I broke it, I weighed myself down because it was going to beat me up next time.

Becoming actionable, it wasn't Gaul at the closest distance that < Oak Champion > was headed for.

It's not because I'm going to be easy to pin down, or because I'm a leader, it's definitely because of the title Oak Killer. Hate, there's no need to manage, his hostility is shaking off against me.

Then use this. It's a method of warfare where I stand up front and outrun, and Gaul and Moyer earn damage from the sides. Turning our gaze, we can see that we both came to the same idea. Situational judgment and teamwork have built up to date. I desperately beat the < Oak Champion > rush, destroying several shields, while both of them earn damage.

What you can see through Nursing is that this guy has a smaller decrease in HP damage every time he does it. Perhaps a skill is activated with an increased defense depending on the HP level remaining.

It took twice as long for the next quintile to be shredded. Even though the damage they both earn is diminishing a bit, the hands of the attack will not stop at all.

During the onslaught, they finally broke all the spare shields. Even if you manage to retrieve and use the falling < Grand Golem Hand >, it will also be destroyed while preventing several attacks.

This one has only a small amount of damage, no matter how many attacks it hits directly. Big damage if you let him hit you directly with even one shot over there.

... what. It's the same as always. No, it's a simpler diagram than that. Because of Hate in Oak Killer, the point is, unless I fall, the battlefield won't change.

It's a distracting offense, but I'm making money for the damage. We're all full of creativity, especially me, but even he doesn't have much HP left.

It's just that we're definitely the first ones to run out of war if we keep this up. No matter how optimistic you estimate it, you don't keep our, especially my, HP.

I have a feeling about the death fight. Ahead, the battle for HP0 is inevitable. But I'm sure he's still on his way. Smells like me. Feel like sympathy beyond the race.

... what to do. Loss is a must if you bring it that far. His attacks are instantly crushed without HP. Bet on the Starvation Beast activation?... There is no battle that relies on such vague things. We shouldn't incorporate it into our tactics.

There is no way to reverse it. Think. Think. Find a way to reverse this before he does.

And the muddy death battle came to an end, and it was < Oak Champion > who showed the move first.

The action he took wasn't me, throwing an axe somewhere else altogether. When I realized the intention, the war ran.

The axe rolls into the corner of the room.

Hey, Mr. Oak Hero!?

An axe ripped his torso off his face and < Oak Ranger > died.

At that moment, < Oak Champion > 's body swelled up and grew around. It's not an illusion, it's definitely an inflated muscle.

Solo combat correction. This means that the overwhelming power shown so far has been increased.

It's not an explosive enhancement like my "Hunger Storm Beast" or Lotte's "Blood Princess". It's plain, I guess the rise is just a few percent or something.

But a few percent of them are deadly. He says the intimidation of getting up from him won't allow it, even though he was making a lot of damage so far.

Defeat comes close with footsteps.

Throwing away the axe, the < Oak Champion > has been hit with his fist, but the power he feels from the < Unghost Cut > is comparable to that of the axe.

Bad. I don't have a hand. I don't have enough power left to recieve this onslaught. If I fall, I can't keep the front. Destroyed. Moyer alone might be able to get through that long corridor to the safe zone, but there's no real point there.

Be prepared. It will be a big fight, but I'll bet on activating The Hunger Beast. It would be spectacular difficulty not to die while maintaining a great deal of physical damage before this offense, but that was all I had left.

Gaze down at the fist to be swung down and identify the critical line that will not die. Take it and prevent the pursuit until The Hunger Stormbeast is activated. That was the only path left to win, and I was about to give up half of it.

- Action Skill "Tornado Kick"

Someone attacked him in the arms of the Oak Champion.

"You're safe... aren't you? We're late."

This climax of death was joined by a man who was supposed to have headed for the safety zone.

-3-

If we only talk about the end of it, we won.

Except for special examples like my Hunger Storm Beast and Borg's Suicide Bomb, Sargess is our highest power. The fact that it came to an end and joined the war almost intact is significant.

Naturally, it's not an easy win. I can't even say it's a fair win, but the battle that pushed Sargess out of the box in my place managed to push it off.

HP is plentiful, but Sargess has little < defense >. By the time the < Oak Champion > sank, there was only a small amount of HP left, and there was no shadow left in the suit.... Well, I just "full-purged" it.

Even away from the front, it's big that his Hate was concentrating on me. If there was another shield, it would have made it easier to tie the action. This means that if Tilia had acted as a shield, there would have been as much to do.... You are.

The struggle continues even after Sargess joins the fight. It's been a lot harder since I cut off my HP and got a direct hit on his body.

Even though there are no HP walls, even thick muscles and fat protected bodies add intense regenerative capacity. Cut or beat, the wound heals instantly. Hyperarmor is alive and well. Whether you have HP or not, it hasn't changed at all.

It is a never-ending death fight. I don't know how many times I've been dying already. So much so that I suspected it might be a pseudo when he fell to his full strength.

Probably would have fought longer since HP ran out. Had it not been for Sargess, I would have definitely lost.

Nevertheless, we all survived more than we did when we were in Wyburn.

"Coming back alone down that aisle was quite a bone break"

Sarjes, who expected us to challenge the < Oak Champion >, apparently took Tilia and Borg back down the long aisle after carrying them to the safe zone.

There were a lot of < oak rangers > out there that didn't exist to go. Sure, that arrangement isn't a mistake if you consider the possibility of coming back and getting rendezvous. We can ignore it and go back, but we can't leave our enemies behind. Sargess heads ahead as he finishes the < Oak Ranger > in the aisle. And that led to that rendezvous.

Going as far as the safety zone in front of the transfer gate, there was a borg just for the neck and a figure of Tilia that remained stretched. Sargess seemed to turn right back after putting the two of them down.

Tilia isn't dead, and in the worst case scenario, it's a decision you'll be able to jump into the gate with a borg. The most expensive cottage we have is in Borg's Item Box.

I just pointed my neck at him, and he checked us out, and Borg said, "Oh, you've been breaking through that array? 'I was impressed that he was out of line with his face.

Well, unlike when Wyburn was there, it wasn't ready before, and the number of people is halved. You wouldn't normally think it would come out.

Tilia was doing a perfect job on the road, but at the end of the day, she's in a big mess. If I'd lost this, I'd have almost asked for a butt pen, but let's give him a break. I won't say anything, but Moyer's sermon awaits. It's a routine that goes on from infinite training in hell.

"Now, don't let your dreams swell about what this crusade bonus will be used for"

"Right. It swells everywhere."

You can inflate it there. Or it's time to get dressed.

"What should I do with the axe I dropped"

After the demonization of the < Oak Champion >, Moyer heard the dropped card with one hand.

"We can only use me or the chimera. Explore your abilities and sell and distribute them if you don't need them."

Copy that, sir.

Neither me nor Chimera are the axes main armed. The axe he was using would be a broken performance near this floor, but depending on the price, it could be sold. You can give it away for cheap if you want around Gowen.

"It's a goal for now. Let's dive into the gate and return."

There's still a time limit, but I'm not going to pinch the break in front of the goal.

There were unexpected happenings, but the mountains were surpassed by intermediate rank adventurers first.

Too bad Mr. Tilia stayed stretched, and Borg was the only one with a neck, and we were worn out as usual, but still got to the relay point.

Normally it should be a difficulty I would never experience, but when I say that, they're going to blame me, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

"No, there's a thirty-sixth layer going on up ahead."

It is the floor on which Yuki declined to move forward. The structure is the same, so the same floor should be spread out.

If you dive from the other side ahead of you, you will return to the transfer facility, but you will be able to do just fine with confirmation. Even if he dies, the track record of reaching the relay point remains.

"Shall we just look at it before we leave?"

That's what Moyer, who knows ahead, said and led the way.

[Infinite corridor, thirty-sixth floor]

"I see..."

Diving through the gate, through the safety zone and down the aisle without a monster figure, there was a sight waiting to be seen in one shot that Yuki could tell was the cause of his abandonment.

Just a stone aisle from the safety zone to a short distance away. There is an enormous waterway with an end to it…. There are no detours. You need to dive in the water to move on.

If you glance in front of the waterway and peek inside, the monsters are everywhere. I could see that going pretty far back there. Vision doesn't seem that bad.... This is certainly an underwater battle imperative.

"You need to dive in the water and through the waterway to move on here. Many aquatic monsters are arranged in an environment where you can finally reach the next floor with a high level of Hiddenness."

"Has Moyer checked ahead?

"Yes, I've checked to the point where it's possible with me and Dr. Ladine bugs"

That, can you travel even in the water?

I also made some maps, so I'll show you what I've drawn. There are several squares on the map, with passageways connecting between them. If this is submerged, don't dive up and repeat to move.

"As far as I can confirm, all the passages connecting each square are submerged. Moreover, there were even squares inhabited by submerged giant monsters. Right here."

Moyer pointed to a square that is also quite large on the map.

"Don't you have a gimmick or something where the water pulls?

"They also have maps like that, but they don't seem to be on this layer. I didn't see anything like it in the range I could confirm."

"Do you mean underwater warfare is a must..."

"A lot of people can't swim in underwater warfare, so last time we went to the relay point for now, so we waited to build the next floor."

I can't talk about not being able to swim. Now you won't even be able to hunt monsters to level up.

Yuki and the others are still attacking from the thirty-first tier this week, mainly to level up, but that would be correct.

"Can't you freeze it with Gaul's Blizzard Breath?

"Well, I can't afford anything at all. You could freeze the surface and walk up, but the passage doesn't mean anything in the water completely, does it?

"Like digging in while you freeze it?

"You can't do this."

That's right. Even Arctic ice isn't freezing deep into the water.

"Kaneteyoli Development Citaita Underwater Warfare Specifications Body Gasolo Solo Decia Gallimas Node, Tsukamatta State De Forced to Move Fast Toy Hand Moori Masga"

"If it just falls out, maybe that's fine."

If you don't mind the fact that Borg will be handling the vehicle.

... but the problem is underwater warfare, not mobility. Depending on the composition of the floor, the presence or absence of submerged areas is largely due to luck.

With any luck, it could be a normal dungeon from the 36th to the 39th. In some cases, that detour would be available even if there were a water field.

However, the fortieth layer will be the next relay point. An area where the boss is anchored in the Sarpent Dragon will require underwater warfare. What's the matter? We need underwater power.

"Oh, one word came from Mr. Mizuki. He wants me to tell him when we get to the 36th floor."

"From Mr. Mizuki?

Speaking of which, only that man has been attacked. Can you give me any hints?

"'Fortieth tier offense is non-participation,' he said."

"What?"

Huh... what do you mean? That's breaking through to fifty layers, and she won't have to attack herself...

"In underwater warfare, that man's power works too much in his favor. If you're going to move on, you have to break through on your own."

"Oh, that sister, you had the Blessing of the Water God."

"Protecting the Water God"? Could it be a gift similar to the one from Gaul?

"That man is one of the witches of the Four Gods, the patron saint of the Labyrinth City. She's the only one receiving direct protection from the god of water, so underwater is her private place."

That's a witch, so I guess it's a priesthood...... water god?

I wonder if it doesn't matter because I'm not an animal man... because the god who gives me protection is not a beast god. All right, I want some cover, too. Is there a horny god or something that can give you lucky sketch protection?

"You mean the god who worships in the shrine where Mr. Mizuki lives?

"I didn't know until I asked her, that there was a so-called branch called [Water Spirit Palace], and that there was a different place called [Four Shrines Palace]. Her name, Shijingu Shuiju, seems to be coming from there."

You're starting to look like RPG all of a sudden. Is there a god there? No, is he a sub-god? Although I can't make a clear distinction between those two.

Or Mr. Mizuki, you had a last name.

"I also showed you the fight, but that's an awesome word. You can walk in the water without getting wet and move freely without swimming. They say the bow can be handled more than the ground, and even breathing can be done in the same way as the ground."

"What's that?"

Super awesome. Doesn't that mean you're stronger in the water than on the ground?... so don't participate. That's just too advantageous. I told you to build strength to move forward without relying on such force.

Then the recoverer is fixed to Tilia, who is stretching in the back safety zone. They all need to work hard at least twice in order to break through.

All I can remember is anxiety when I look at that pitiful figure, but he's an excellent shield if he's not even an orc.... If you're underwater, there's no oak, so it's okay... it should be.

... but it's a tight feeling that there aren't many healers. Is Dilk or Lirica apt to leave Mikael alone, which can only be used for pandas? Sure, Serafina should have used healing magic.

"By the way, can Sargess swim?

"I'd rather be good at it. You can use the Tornado Kick to move the screws, and I'm used to it in my usual lessons."

"Right..."

I don't know what the lesson is.... but it looks like we can fight normally.

In my case, you can swim, and you're better at long-distance swimming and diving, but it's only a swimming range. There is no skill to fight monsters armed. I think it's pretty tight just to wear it and swim.

So far, Sarjes and Moyer are the only ones who are likely to be able to fight underwater, except Mr. Watermelon, and then Bog if the changing body is complete... it's tight. As opposed to compatibility and division of roles during a party, there are not even fewer than six people.

"While you level up for a while, you've got underwater training in the tunnel."

Ask your manager to arrange such a training facility.... you might want to give up your fortieth tier offense during the year.

-4-

When the training facility arranged to report the incident to the manager, he was not surprised but smiled at with a warm gaze. I feel like I'm already in the kukukuru and I'm destined to get into trouble.

"Mr. Watanabe was probably born on a star like that."

I'm never happy, but the hard part is that I'm not about half wrong.

Quick, but they made an appointment for me tonight about the training facility. If it wasn't noon, they'd be pretty free. It has been confirmed that the appointments of the other members are largely vacant.

"Is the manager coming too? Working now means you're out of work at night, right?

"Right. Regardless of your training, you may want to go swimming for a breath"

Swimsuit event even though it's almost December. I ignore the season, but I don't care about that.

In the first place, even that sea-water bath seems to be open only in the summer, but it should be open all year round. That's a dungeon.

"Um... something is running blood in my eyes, because it's an underwater warfare training facility. There are fewer people in swimsuits."

"Huh..."

Such an idiot.... Well, if you think about it, there's no way it's just a swimsuit to fight. Just diving is what wears a diver suit. Besides, we even fight, so it can't be enough with just a swimsuit.

Damn, I even fantasized about fighting in my swimsuit and poloring in my pappings...... Well, Sargess is usually the only one that seems possible.

"Please don't be so depressed. Look, look, I'm just going swimming. I'm a swimsuit."

"Oh, you're right."

Thank you, manager. Let me indulge you in your bathing suit. I hope so. Whatever makes you pollute. Yeah, no.

And I had forgotten about it in a long dungeon offense, but another problem remained.

I just want to forget it and leave it there, but I can't even say it. It's about Mr. Lehne.

"The planned dungeon offense must be over, right?

On the way home, when I met Kukuru, Mr. Berserker caught me once again.

... What is this kid, sticking around?

"Ah, oh. It's over... here we go.... No way, you've been here all day?

"No way. Until earlier, I was going to an infinite corridor ten tier offense. It just so happens."

I didn't think I would do a dungeon strategy because of the longer physical time, but surprisingly, he also does his job as an adventurer.

Lene, who almost destroyed Mr. Minot with a solo, would be an easy win up to the tenth floor. I'm afraid it's going to break through something normal ahead.

"If we're going to build a foundation in this city, we have to catch up with Yukito soon."

"... why?

"We're trying to feed Yukito, but we're not going to talk about it."

I don't know what you're talking about, this kid. Were you going to make Yuki a hippo? Now it's subtle, but the position of men and women is reversed.

"Weren't you going to bring Yuki back to King's Capital?

"At first I meant to, but I would make more money here, and it seems to suit my sexuality"

Oh, you're a Berserker. It would be a vocation.

If I saw the Minotaur battle in that trial video, I can't say it's not right if I'm wrong. At least it's more adventurous than Phase. I think you're still a lady just because you look like one, but it was more of an aristocratic lady, the fact is more incredible.

... was, or still is, a noble lady?

"Besides, this city has a better life than the nobility of the King's capital. You don't have to interact with those dress oaks."

"I told you before, what's a dress oak?

"It's about the children of the aristocracy who participate in the social world."

What, did you mean fat aristocratic lady? How much?

"Then why don't you think about attacking with Yuki? I don't think he's gonna quit being an adventurer to get married."

Leave it at this time if you can get married.

"Mmm... that would be nice too. Let me also confirm the mystery of Yukito-san by myself in the dark until the time limit for the dungeon arrives... Oh, don't, Yukito-san. The monsters are watching! Expose your body like that..."

"Why is this a pair of attacks?"

Dungeon attack is based on a six-man party. You and Yuki won't even be able to avoid the trap.

Or even if you're in paranoia, what are you doing in the dungeon? Do that in the room. And please video.

"It's still pre-establishment, but then you're coming to our clan, too? If my subleader Yuki gives me O.K., it's conditional."

"Maa! How wonderful. You're surprisingly good."

"He's a good man."

"Please don't imitate me"

I'm sorry about that.

"So shall we quickly schedule a meeting? How about tonight and so on?

"You're too soon."

The encounter begins shortly after I pass it on to him. I don't have time to escape, but there is a good chance that the conversation will not be concluded.

"I mean, we have plans for tonight.... six days after an appointment as tentative for now. If it's going to be sooner than that, why don't you call me separately?

"Mm... but... no... wow"

It seems to be a great dissatisfaction. Because it's an important project, I know you're trying not to mention Wagamama, but that's not what your face and line say.

... but I have a trump card. I didn't know if this was going to happen, but it was one of the pieces of data that I had appropriately taken and saved after freeing up the status card's photo capabilities.

"All right, well, look at this."

"Ko, is this... Huh!?"

When I moved in yesterday, it was an outrageous episode of Yuki sleeping on David. No acknowledgement has been obtained from the person.

This is supposed to be a critical trump card for someone like you. It is the "Eat a Thousand Cuts" grade against cat ears.

"If you can have a drink, I'll send you an email with this image"

"Hey, what a despicable..."

Your face is nasty for the line, though.

"... hey, there was only... hey. … So, as a compromise, can't you get a daily progress report?

"That's all I need."

I also send Yuki pictures every day. Your body is impossible, but it's fine for everyday occasions. Worst of all, Yuki would be convinced to postpone the date.

"By the way, don't you know where Mr. Phase is? I haven't been in the dorm or the hall since yesterday."

"What are you going to do looking for me?

"Well, let me solemnly ask you something..."

"No, give him a break."

Exactly pitiful. He just got caught up in it.... What am I supposed to say when I'm really involved?

By the way, I went back to Cranhouse to ask, but Yuki seemed unwilling to roll up any appointments.

[Underwater combat training facility]

That night, we took a trip to the underwater combat training facility where the manager booked us.

But there's no such thing as Kukuru himself, who made him expect to look like a swimsuit there.

'Shh, excuse me. There's been a bit of a sudden incident... Ah, Mr. Canaan, where have you been?'

I don't think it's a lie because a real voice has sounded from across the phone, but it's a great shame. That means the possibility of polarity has been crushed.

The training facilities arranged are located in the dungeon compartment, not so far from the guild. I've seen it many times every time I go by, the sports gym and swimming school building seems to be my destination.

The reception was soon over because it was booked and the adventurer seems to be a privileged establishment in the first place.

After that, I will change in the locker room, but the dressing room is separate for men and women.... I wondered what Yuki would do and usually came into the men's dressing room.

Huh... what the hell kind of development is this?

"What?

I was looking at the cancer with my eyes running blood in anticipation of what the hell was going on underneath it and if Lene told me, I would finally open your body, but I wore a healthy swimsuit that I had previously used in a seabath underneath my regular clothes. I'm kidding.

In the summer, it is an uncomfortable outfit to go outside as it is.... Right, that's right. If you think about it a little bit, you'll see. Yeah.

"Leader, should I also take off my pants here"

"You, I'm sure you'll be trained armed."

Meanwhile, the guy who didn't need to take anything off was already naked. Yuki is also something I'm used to seeing and doesn't even get upset already.

Sargess' nakedness is already routine among us.

The places where training is to be carried out are divided into three categories:

It's a huge swimming pool for complete underwater combat training, more like a swimming training pool dressed and armed in front of you, and a regular pool for those who can't swim.

They say the underwater combat training pool is of a structure like a submerged training ground or dungeon and can also build an exploratory area that has become a labyrinth structure. They can also conduct pseudo-combat training with monsters.

Ordinary swimming pools are shared with objects used in day swimming schools. It's just a 25-meter pool, which I've seen well in my previous life.

Yuki and Gaul are the ones who can't swim among us, Sarjes and Moya are the ones who put them in combat training. Me, Tilia, and Ladine will be swimming training dressed and armed.

Borg and Chimera, Mr. Mizuki, are not taking part. I don't know about the chimera, but Borg will be revealed after the special equipment is ready.

I'd like to see Mr. Mizuki's underwater combat for reference, but even if he is, it's a combat training pool to participate in, and besides, I'll honestly give up because it will remain my usual witch clothes.

The dressing and armed swimming training pool we challenge was quite deep, and it was huge enough to be used for diving. For some reason, there's a jumping ground.

I can't get a leg if I'm wrong. Given the distance to the bottom, it would be a struggle just to sink in and come back.

"... this is not good"

As a first step, the coach was advised to train in normal clothing conditions, but I will only challenge him once with my usual full armor. We'll see what eventually happens.

... the results are scattered. I regretted it right after I tried it. It is difficult to even float, rather than swim. The biggest problem is the heavy metal part of the protective equipment, but it would be the leather part but heavy. Or even cloth is heavy. Even the inner ones you always wear are heavy.

"Well, of course."

One, Ladine, who had prepared a leotard for underwater combat as a prep, was nibbling at our misery. Surely it would have been hilarious to almost drown.

... but it's Tilia who's more miserable than me. Swimming in full armor is suicidal. I tried armor on discipline, as you would have known the outcome, and I was seriously drowning in front of you right now.

"Uh, ho, ho, ho, ho, what shall we do...?

I don't care if they ask. I feel like I've been seeing all these days that I've been having trouble breathing, but the current tragedy is the worst.

But you're the only restorer on the fortieth floor beyond what Mr. Shui has rejected. I can't, but I just need you to do something about it.

Worst case scenario, I can handle it. Even if you normally try with a swimsuit, you can deploy your arms instantaneously with the all-purpose skill "Instant Costume", and you are accustomed to attacks from hand to hand. Ladine will be fine if this looks like it. But the shield won't talk without his armor. Worst case scenario, if you can't just give up the armor and use the shield, it's a mess. In her case, the shield alone is quite heavy. Whatever, it is a giant metal shield whose entire body is hidden. It can't be heavy.

"How are the other parties doing with this?

Sarjes, Moyer, that and around Yuki won't be a problem. The protective equipment I usually use is not that heavy, and I can handle it without it, but that would be a minority as an adventurer.

Except for guys like Muscle Brothers. But basically, protective equipment is heavy. Most avant-gardes may be powerless.

I'm very interested in Mr. Saloria's underwater combat, but I don't have the video itself. Gaddem.

"That's a lot. Challenge without protective gear, prepare submersible gear, master skills and magic to move underwater, only you are a bit of an exception, but everywhere is like that"

Light armor... Still going to drastically diminish my defense on top of it, but I'll have to consider it.

The leotards worn by Ladine also appear to be hard, although the exposure has increased. It's training, so you can have soft material around the chest.

Neither can I fight with my seawater pants... and I can understand that a robot will create a dedicated underwater machine.

I've never seen him before, but I wonder if he could be protected by Mr. Mizugami. You can admire it.... hey, can I see you if I ask Dammus?

"In the meantime, let's get a budget from the labyrinth city in the name of developing experimental equipment. I'll make some underwater gear."

"Oh, seriously?

Is that the kind of budget that goes down? It's personal, isn't it?

"We'll start with new materials and, of course, provide the city with information on those equipment. After a while, similar equipment will be made based on it. It's disturbing to say that the experimental bench is like a sample. I'll see if I can make something out of my knowledge of underwater and space gear in my past life."

How reliable. It's a scientist-like approach. He sounds like a Mad Scientist, and I thought I'd say, 'Well, shall I modify it' or something.

"Will you be able to fight in armor?

"... Isn't that impossible? If it's lighter metal and shields... it'll still lose its defense."

"Right.... Ha, it doesn't feel good lately, so I'd like to play a little bit."

Is it desperate because nowhere else stands out these days? I know Tilia's working hard, but the original position is plain.

The previous < Oak Champion > is a little undefendable.

"You, you sure have a master, don't you? How's that guy doing?

"My master doesn't float because he's a rock, and I can't wear protective equipment, so it's not helpful"

Yeah, so would a rock giant. It's amazing that you don't have any protective equipment, but... it seems possible that you're not even breathing.

"... Master is the rock?

Ladine, who hadn't listened beforehand, asked back as if she was interested. Will it be the subject of research because he said rare species or something? I don't think dissecting a rock is gonna be funny.

"A Rock Titan belonging to < Stonehenge >, called Gardel Garden"

"Oh, Lord Gard. You're a celebrity."

Stonehenge... what ruins? Is that a clan name?

"Where does Mr. Gardo belong now?

"Eh... like I just said..."

"No, that clan would have been disbanded recently, wouldn't it?

"... Huh?

Tilia solidified. Apparently even the apprentice has unconfirmed information.

"Does that mean the master is free now?

"You mean you can't use the cranhouse?... It would be hard to find a place to live when it's as big as a rock giant. It's got to be about twice as big as our David."

"Oh, yes! Master, you're going to be homeless."

"... such an asshole"

I can't believe that any adventurer of that name is homeless...

"Hey, I'm going to look for you, Master! I'm in the middle of training. Excuse me."

"Oh, hey, be careful."

Tilia rushes to the locker room. "Aaah!"... Ah, it's cocky. You're such a sweet girl.

... If it's a rock, I don't feel like I have a problem outside.

"What kind of a celebrity is that Gardell?

"You're famous. It is one of the finest tanks in the Labyrinth City, boasting the defense of the Iron Wall, as the name suggests. Besides, he also serves Rock Dragon, so he even has mobility. I know you don't like small places."

If it's that big, it'll get clogged up in a small place.... Sounds like a big name, but is someone like that homeless?

"No, Bog, whatever, what happened to Chimera?

"Yeah, he was denied admission here... but in his case, it's adaptable by taking in aquatic monsters. I'm trying a lot right now."

Was he the one who shouldn't have thought in the most common sense? I ate Wyburn before and I grew feathers.

"Come on, let's train you to be able to swim dressed in the tunnel first. Leotard would have a spare, would you like to use it? Size correction."

"Give me a break"

My Leotard look is dangerous. Broadcast accident class.
