Alexei was confident of victory.

　He was one level ahead of Charlotte and the others, and there were only two levels left to reach the desired treasure. The treasure is only two levels away. There is a staircase leading down.



　A huge monster, which is also a floor boss, is waiting for us, but it won't take long.



　We just have to pick up the pace a little more, get the treasure, and leave without running into them.

　Even if Charlotte and the others were chasing after him at a high speed, Alexei knew in his mind that he would be able to outrun them.



　But then...



　Boom!

　There was a roar that shook the basement.



"What?　It looks like there was some kind of explosion up ahead. ......"



　The number <<12> mutters suspiciously.



"Let's hurry."



　Alexei felt an uncertain chill and increased his running speed.



　When he reached the hall with the stairs leading down.



"If we defeat our opponents in a direct confrontation, then we can relax and go treasure hunting!



　Charlotte, wearing a pink fluttering costume, floats up and down and thrusts her walking stick at me.



(Stupid ......)



　Alexei bit his back teeth.

　It is impossible that he has not only closed the gap by one level, but also has been ahead of the others.



　But the intertwining of the two was obvious.



　The floor of the hall was littered with debris. Directly above the huge pile of rocks was a gaping hole.

　It seems that the floor boss was trapped under the rocks.



(It's insane to smash through the floor from the upper floor.)



　The ruins are protected by a mysterious force that makes it extremely difficult to destroy the walls, floors, and ceilings. It is doubtful if the "Supreme Seven Sacred Armor," which boasts high offensive power, can be finally destroyed by a person with high magical power.

　Especially the floor, or the ceiling from the bottom, was nearly impossible to break through because the distance between the floors was more than ten meters.



　However, the ceiling in the hall is much higher than in the underground caverns.

　In other words, the space between the levels is relatively .



(Is that a female demoness? ......)



　A lump of white cloth lay limp, as if it had run out of energy and roots.

　If this was the maximum magic she had unleashed with all her magic power, it would explain this unusual situation.



"She was reckless, indeed. But can they beat us if they lose their maximum strength?



　Alexei regains his composure.



　Even without Charlotte (<7>) and Zahra (<9>), there are ten members in total. All of them are elite members of the university.



　Charlotte's team, on the other hand, has lost Frey and is down to four members.

　Frey alone is capable of taking on all the Numbers except Alexei, but he is in no condition to fight now.



"Well, my magic is running low, but I'll get it back soon enough. Five minutes ...... ten minutes?　Well, let's make it 20 minutes ...... or even 30 minutes, losing a big loss. That's enough magic power to lay waste to you in about that amount of time!"



"Frey - no. Fletch Sempos, our exchange student, please rest for now."



"GUNUNU ...... Don't ever lose!"



"Yes!　Your sacrifice will not be in vain!"



"No, I'm not dead yet, okay?"



　The exchange was so disarming that it made you angry,



"Shut up and shut up, you guys!"



　The giant number <<4> rushed forward.



"Phew!"

"Nuh!"



　But Irisphilia flanks him.

　She catches a powerful kick with her thick arms.



"Huh?　It's pretty heavy. But you think you can beat me with this?　No, you bastard!



　Irisphilia's furious rush. She plays with her opponent with her skillful body movement.

　Charlotte looked at her with satisfaction.



(As expected of Iris. (As expected of Iris, she is overwhelming in speed. Match-up succeeded!)



　However, I don't think it's going to be a quick game. The lack of a key player in close combat accelerated the disadvantage in terms of the number of players.



"You have lost. Do you think that only three of you can take on nine, including me?



　Charlotte responded to Alexei's ample smile with a grin.



"If you're talking about numbers, don't worry. I'll get the best out of you!"



　He rummaged in the pouch at his waist and pulled out a small folded cloth.



"There you go!"






　The cloth is thrown into the void, and it spreads out.



　Clash, clash, clash, clash, clash, clash...



"What?　A night skeleton?



　There are about 50 of them. That's more than five times as many as Numbers.



"It wasn't Joni ....... Summoners, please take on anyone but the <<1>>, <<4>>, and <<12>>. It's now effectively four against four. Then let's fight fair and square."



"What the hell are you talking about?



　The number <<12> cries out, however,



　Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!



　The sound of the skeleton squad's clattering teeth drowned out the sound.
