The enemy changed his pattern.

But so did we.

--If those two aren't watching, I can really go for it!

'--Demon particles, reap what you sow! Pyro Ray!

The flash of Prine's light reaves the enemy monsters one by one, and all illusions are vanquished.

NafEgo*+ya!

The demonologist who was left with only the body was startled, but at that time, he was already ,

.

I had activated my sheaf skill, "Hiding," to get behind the enemy, and I had hit him in the neck.

There's only one left!

The purple fog clears as the demonologist falls.

''Hmm?''
'...... u'

Martina and Gigi wake up.
A magical beast is approaching them.

'...... Oh, so that's what it is!

Before I could get to him, Gigi ran into Gurtiger by himself.

--That's absurd!

Just before the bare-knuckled clown collided with the beast, Gigi-san winked at him.

--Gurooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The moment when Gretiger, opening his mouth wide, bit Gigi's neck,

Blah, blah, blah!

Gigi's body scattered as a playing card.

The clown laughs as he strokes his tail behind the beast, wondering how long it has been moving.

'--A disappointment, isn't it?

--Oh, my God!

Gurtiger looks back with angry eyes.

He looks back at his brain,

'Deeeeeeee!

I swung my mithril sword and it split him in half.



The beast collapses. Its body slowly crumbles, and it returns to the mist.

It is victory.

You did it, Ra-kyuun!

I had cleaned the blood off my sword and sheathed it, and Prine came to me and hugged me.

'Hey, good job, Prine. You did a good job.
''Yes! Thanks, Ra-kun! You were really cool too!

I pat him on the head.

'Well, ha-ha-ha, you are indeed a level 15 warrior. You beat them almost all by yourself.
'That's not true. Gigi-san's magic trick was the only reason we were able to defeat Gurutiger.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. With each swing of the sword, the enemy's limbs fly off, such a divine deed, even the knights of this family will not see it.
It's thanks to your agility, Martina-san.

He looks at her as she stands up.
Martina shakes her head and smiles.

'I was hardly there at all, wasn't I?
''I'm glad you're all safe.

I nodded, and Gigi's eyes narrowed,

'But still, Rana-sama. Even with the agility magic on her, isn't she a little too quick for a warrior ( )? That was like the movement of a thief.
'......It's just your imagination.'
'Ho-ho-ho, let's put it that way.

He's got his eye on you, this one. He's so smart.

Then, congratulations on your victory!

Huelllllll, dong!

The broken cane was put back, and when Gigi spun it around, fireworks shot up from the tip of the cane, which pointed upward.

Wow, it's beautiful!
'............ Can't you use that gunpowder for fighting?'
'You can't damage monsters, I'm afraid. Ha ha ha!
'I never get bored with Gigi, not at all.

The four of us laugh together.
The first boss battle that our first party had ever attempted had been a great success.

Prine exclaims happily.

I've improved, Ra-kun!
'Oh. Me too.
'Oh, me too.
'Me too.

It seems that everyone's level has increased during this boss battle.

Prine reports back to me looking really happy.

'I learned Exploding Light and Slow and Heavy, Ra!
'Explosions and magic that slows down the enemy. Sounds useful.
'Yes!

'I'm a card thrower, apparently.
'...... what is it used for?'
'Well, I guess you're going to have to throw it.

Hold on.

Martina seems to have learned some new magic.

Dazzle and Fragile, I think. Dazzle is the illusion magic I mentioned earlier. Fragile is a magic that weakens your opponent's protective charms, a counterpart to Prine's defensive shield.
Congratulations, Martina.
Yes, thank you. Though you won't have a chance to use it for a while.

Martina smiles.
That's right. After conquering the fifth layer, they would leave the dungeon and return to their parents' house.

By the way, I did not learn any new fighting techniques. I didn't learn any new fighting techniques, though my level seems to be getting higher.

I don't know how much it has gone up unless I go to the guild, but I don't think it has reached 20 yet, the level at which I can change jobs. I don't feel like I've crossed the barrier like I did when I was a sheikh.

Ms. Martina urges.

Let's go down to the 6th level. I hear there is a save point right after we go down.

We proceed to the back of the room. We open a closed door and find a staircase leading down.

But..,

It's strange, it won't open.
'Hmm, this is a strange ......'.

Martina and Gigi pushed the door, but it showed no sign of opening.

'I'll take a look.

The keyhole was not even there to begin with, and there were no other tricks.

Prine said something to me.

'...... I think it's magically locked, Ra-kun.
''By magic?''
'Yeah. Dungeon magic. It's as if they're saying, 'The battle isn't over yet. ......'
'No, no, no, I beat the boss. No way, 'dungeon bug' ......?'
'I don't know. But ...... but ...... something is wrong. I'm getting chills.'

Prine shivering.

The first party I've ever been in. The first boss battle.

We won the battle without suffering too many injuries, and it was a great success.


So far.


'............ Ra-kun

Prine squeezes my hand.

What's wrong?
'Something's wrong. Something's wrong with ......'

Prine's face became anxious, and finally a hint of impatience appeared on it.

'The magical elements are ...... gathering ......!

The rare genius mage who has received the "Witch's Blessing" sees the magical elements converging in the boss's room.

At that moment, I finally noticed something strange.

The fog that was generated when the monster was defeated is still there.

'What is ...... that ......?

Even Gigi's tone was tense.

Then, the fog began to swirl around and around.

Ah, Ra-kun ......! Oh, oh, no, no, no, they're coming. ......!

A frightened Prine screamed.

'--Devil ( ), the devil ( ) is coming!

The mist took human form.

The next moment, it transforms into a monster.

A "demon" appeared, two mer-tall, with a strong musculature, a horn on its forehead, and black wings like a bat on its back.

'......Ah, ah, ah,'

Prine trembles, clamping her mouth shut. As a mage, she must be feeling the pressure from this guy.

Even I, a warrior, can tell. --This guy is bad.

The Devil stares at me. He opens his mouth.

You're the one.

To my surprise, he spoke a human language.

'I am a human who has been gifted with the divine skill of breathing.

I forget how to breathe.

--This guy knows my skills ......!

The demon continues.

'By order of my master Astima, who is sealed in the dungeon by the god of abominations, this messer-devil will stop you from breathing.
