Layer 20.

Floor boss battle.

The strategy information says so.



The Deep King.

A magical beast sealed in an undersea temple.

It is similar to a centaur, but the upper part of its hind legs are raised up and it moves as another centaur.

It looks as if two giants are lined up in front of and behind each other, and their waists are connected by another magical beast.

The two giants appear to be arranged in front of and behind each other, and their waists appear to be connected by another magical beast. However, it receives physical attacks from enemies. If you have warriors in your party, it would be better to have them play the role of shields.

Magic hits only the head of the giant.

You have to kill two giants at the same time.

If you have more than two mages and monks in your party, it will be reassuring. If not, you will have to make use of items such as scrolls.

If you have made it this far, you will be able to defeat this strong enemy.

The 20th layer. Only those who have made it past this floor will be recognized as first-rate adventurers. Pray for consideration!

The following is a detailed description of enemy attack patterns: ............



That's what I meant. Then let's get started!

We saw a huge horse-like monster in front of us, just as we had been told.

No, ...... it was not a horse, but more like a giant attached to the front and back of a horse.

The monster in front had clawed hands and a minotaur head.

The monster in the back has spear-like hands and a head with two large eyeballs protruding like a goldfish's demekin.

It was approaching at a very close distance, looking down on the Titanikko.

At first glance, it looked like a zombie monster.

The overall design is ludicrous and horrifying.

Maybe it's appropriate for the deep sea.

Aww, aww, aww ......

But Prine was frightened. Like when she once stopped in front of Riquewihr Castle.

Are you all right, Prine?

I hold Prine's hand as she comes fluffy and flowing toward me.

'It's okay, it's okay. ......! I'll do my best. ......!'

Prine nodded.

Prine is no longer the Prine she was then. She's grown up. Very fast.

I can't lose!

'Right on plan, let's try it first, Prine!
Yes, Mr. Ra!


--Sheeeeeeeeeeee!
--Giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly giggly!

The two Titans roared simultaneously, and the battle began.

The Minotaur, the first Titan, swings its claws at us.

He is slow.

Yo!

I flicked it with the eltral sword in my right hand. I didn't even need to use my [Warfare Technique].

Then, the spears, the arms of Demekin, the Titan behind me, spinning and extending.

Hooyit!

He flicks it away with his sword in the same way.

It is not as fast as Titan Dick's attack earlier.

The problem is that our attacks don't get through.

Let's give it a try. Attack!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ............!

I step forward a little and unleash my war techniques. But the blow slips through the Deep King and runs backward.

I knew it was a dead end! Prine!

'--Freezing fire. Relentless cold heat. The turbulent surface of a silent lake. The roaring flames remind us of the sharpness of zero.

Instead of replying, Prine finished chanting and pointed her staff at the monster.

Whiteout!



A blizzard runs through the sea.

Prine's magic freezes the minotaurs in front of her, and then heads further back to the demekin. .......

Pow!

It was repelled by a mysterious force.



Ra-kun!

'Yeah, even with ranged magic, it still doesn't seem to work. Just as the information says.

I had hoped that Prine, with her higher-than-average level of skill, would be able to ignore the information about the "brave" party's strategy and push the attack, but that did not seem to be the case.

I could push them if I could get through their physical attacks.

All right, let's stick to the plan.

Holding Sahagin's spear in my left hand, I call out to Prine as I deal with the Deep King's four-armed attacks.

Prine!
'Yes, Mr. Ra! Here comes the fireball!
Oh, please!

Fireball!

Prine shot a spell at the Deep King. She shot a spell at the Deep King.

Magic sword!

I catch it with my eltral sword. Then I plunge toward the minotaur's head.

Charge!

Boom!

My attack, fired like an arrow, smashes through the Minotaur's head.

A flower of flame blooms on the Minotaur's head.

--Aaaaahhhh!

But this is the power of the fireball alone. My fighting techniques have slipped through.

--Even with a magic sword, it only deals magic damage!

But..,



'--Icycle Lance!

At the same time, Prine is firing an ice spear at the demekin behind her!

The demekin's head freezes.

The two giants burst open, blubbering from within.

And then emerges the real deal.

The heart of the Deep King.

I look at it as I return to the Titanicco using the propellers on my feet.

It was a pitch-black orb - no, it was an eyeball.

Black tentacles sprouted from its body and undulated. Gross.

Physical attacks are useless against it, too.

Even half-baked magic won't work.

But Prine and I looked at each other and nodded.

'--Angry angel of heaven, by the fluttering of your wings, snow the evil souls that are vain in their vileness toward my Lord!

Burn, Salamandra, the spirit! Gather round me and be exalted.

We both chanted our respective chants at the same time,

Cyclone!

Fireball!

They were released at the same time.

A tornado of fire, a tremendous destruction, struck the Deep King's heart.

I was a monk before I was a mage. I can use monk-level 20 magic.

The tornado stops, and after that...

Bwah!

'OWACHI!

A black tentacle reached out like a whip. I quickly evaded it, but .......

'He's still alive ......!

The eyeballs swung their tentacles in a flaming tornado.

Attack after attack closed in.

'Kyaaaahhhh! My ship aaaaaaahhh!

Captain Kugyu shouted for the first time in a long time. No, he has been shouting and cheering us up for a long time, but I think I haven't heard his voice in a long time.

No, this is not the time to talk about that. The Titanicco is in trouble.

What do you mean our magic can't beat it?

While I was handling it and Captain Kugyu was getting upset, Prine was mumbling to himself.

'Insufficient firepower? But, well, by any chance,...... that magical element moves, no doubt,......'.

'Prine, you got it?

'Maybe, but! I think it has to be the same magic!'

d*mn, I didn't get that much info!

'What am I supposed to do!

'In the meantime, we need to stop that eyeball from moving! I'll stop it! Ra-kun, please stay on the defensive!

'Yes, yes, I understand! I'll take care of that side!

'Makkah ............ Yes! I'll do my best!

Prine exclaimed in a very happy tone.

'Prinay! Do something! Rana too!

Against the background of Captain Kugyu's screams, Prine chanted a spell.

It is a repulsive, shrinking, freezing white tiny chamber. Burn it, destroy it, envelop it, unleash it, burn it to ashes! --Exploding light!

Chanting, the power of the explosion magic increased, and it bloomed in the sea.

The tentacles extending from my eyeballs all burn up at once, leaving my hands free.

Prine does not stop chanting. She does not stop.

'Ancestral dragon! The source of all particles, the firstborn dragonborn! Bring thy power before me! --Dragonic power! Dragonic Power!

They doubled their levels.

Prine shouted.

Ra-kun! Chant with me! Chant the same chant as me!''

''Yes! Roger that!

I don't know what the hell I'm going to do,...... but I kind of know what I'm going to do.

That's what I'm talking about, Prine! That's awesome!

Burn, Efreet!
Burn, you spirits of Efreet!

"Gather round, ye high, unto us.
"Gather round, yea, gather round, yea, gather round!

"The flame of the sword is my sword.
The flame is our sword.

Our sword is our soul.
Our sword is our soul

My soul is with thy flame!
'Our souls with thy flames!



''--Flare Roll!



It is a magic that is not yet available to mages.

It is a high-ranked magic that is normally learned only after becoming a higher level job.

We temporarily doubled our levels, and by chanting together as two mages, we unleashed a magic attack that no mage could have accomplished.

As the eyeball recovers from the explosion, a flame larger than its own body approaches it.

--The eyeballs, recovering from the explosion, were hit by a flame larger than their own bodies.



The sun was born at the bottom of the sea.



The eyeballs turned to dust in an instant.

'Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
'Oh, wow!
Seyfield!



Prine almost burns us out, but we avoid the fire by putting up a ward.

Silence fell to the bottom of the sea, and a huge gate appeared in the void and opened majestically.

The three of us were left in a daze.

Soon, when the fog of the Deep King had completely lifted, I suddenly had a thought.

--Oh, I've won.

Prine hugged me.

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

'Oh, oh! It worked, Prine! That's awesome, that's awesome, that's awesome, that's awesome, that's awesome!

'It's thanks to Ra-kun's help that I was able to match it!

'Wow, you guys are really great! ...... No, it's not that great. I was just reviewing him a little bit, okay?

Captain Kugyu also gave me a compliment.

'Thank you very much.'
'Hehehe, thank you!
'Hmm, good job.'

We return to the deck and laugh.

We have made it through the 20th layer.
