Since then, we have encountered several orcs and goblins, but strangely enough, we have not encountered any higher species.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am used to hunting orcs and goblins, but with the use of paste, I am able to continue hunting them almost as easily as if it were a task.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha was fighting very carefully at the beginning, but now she seems to have gained a lot of leeway and is killing them easily.

The level has risen from 28 to 29.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it's a good pace because I've killed a lot of bosses including the one on the first floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are no monsters that have any unusual skills, and I was just repeating the process of pasting them into pebbles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

About an hour had passed since we went down to the basement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Suddenly, we heard a different kind of scream from the orcs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......It was definitely an ogre.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Orc monsters are said to be a race of demons based on "pigs".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is said that orcs have been transformed by absorbing the miasma, or "bad air" that is harmful to the bodies of humans, elves, dwarves, and beastmen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As a side note, the miasma contains dense magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps this is why orc meat tastes like high-quality pork.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Unlike pigs, only adventurers and knights with a certain level of strength can defeat orcs, which is why orc meat is scarce in circulation and sold at high prices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have made a lot of money thanks to orc meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the most important thing about the ogre is that it is said to be based on "ogre".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ogres are originally classified as a race of demons, and have friendly relations with most of the races, such as us Hume, Elves, Beastmen, and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Some of these ogres absorbed the miasma and transformed themselves into monsters called ogres.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

According to one theory, the demons who played a dark role in the construction of the labyrinth (dungeon) captured the ogres and forced them to absorb the miasma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ogres are characterized by their strength, agility, and sturdiness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Their skills are specialized in attack, and they are said to be good at one-hit kills as their fighting style.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In short, it is a higher level version of Orc, something like that,

...... The ogre appeared in front of us with a tremendous roar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I said, it's pretty strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... What? The Ogre swung his right hand wide and threw something out of it towards us!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aisha, that was close!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hug Aisha and fall down to the side to avoid the flying object.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The flying object flew over our heads at high speed and hit the rock wall behind us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The flying object was probably a huge chunk of rock. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There was no such a huge rock in his hand when he appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It probably appeared when he swung his right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe the rock slash in his skill is his current attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was seriously close to using it before I checked .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aisha, I'll take care of that one. I don't think I have the advantage to fight at long range (out range)."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I cut my skills so I don't have to be so careful anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Considering his strength, it's a wonder he can even throw a rock from the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see Aisha nodding and backing away, and I run towards the ogre with the Lightning Edge in my right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It must have recognized me as its target and starts swinging its right hand in the same wide motion as before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Too bad! You can't use that guy anymore!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The ogre, realizing that it can't use its skills, lets out a tremendous roar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I dodge the fists of the ogre, which come out at a furious pace, and flash my Lightning Edge at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The steel dagger was very sharp, but this Lightning Edge seems to be even more so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought I had dealt him a very deep blow, but the ogre is still alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It didn't seem to care about the cut, and it swung its arms around, trying to catch me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The attack would have been fatal to an orc, but he has a fearsome vitality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Judging from this situation, I cannot stop him with a half-hearted attack, so I take the next step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right, [Martial Skill: Shark Grow]!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I avoid the large swinging arm, jump into its bosom, and deliver a killing blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A violent burst of sound echoes throughout the area, and the ogre finally collapses to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good work, Mr. Mine. Are you hurt? Are you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha comes running up to me, looking worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He replied with a smile and threw the corpse of the ogre into a storage bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It was pretty strong, wasn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I said this to her, she laughed and said, "Not quite, but a very strong monster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As we talked about our first battle with the ogre, we found the boss room on the first basement floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh? There are quite a lot of people in front of the boss room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are we going to fight the boss now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As we slowly approached, the people in front of the boss room seemed to have noticed us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you guys fighting the boss by any chance?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A mature man in luxurious armor approached us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha sees him and says, "Oh, my God.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm? ...... Holy Bow. I heard you were a retired adventurer, what are you doing here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, she knows Aisha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm just running an errand ....... If you're here, does that mean these people are "dust in the air"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm? "Dust in the air" ...... sounds familiar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was just recently ...... or is it .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, our clan got a request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We're here to get speed shoes dropped by a rare monster, Coca Grease, who appears here in the boss room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, it's a rare pop monster. ...... can't find it at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shouldn't have taken this job, I swear."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I remember now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A clan of former A-level adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think their leader was someone named Cashew.

Is this him?

Ah, so this is our leader, Mr. Cashew.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's still amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's a former A-level adventurer, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has three strong skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And Aisha... Are you two alone? If you're here, then you're the boss, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's tough or impossible to be the boss here with just the two of us."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He seems concerned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has a cool face, but I wonder if he's a good guy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, we'll manage. So, what's the situation now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Aisha asked him about it, Mr. Cashew sighed and explained the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said that he had been fighting with the boss of this place for a week now and he was getting very tired.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, you would get tired after a week of hunting the same monster over and over again in a labyrinth (dungeon).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And now they are taking a break for a change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So there's no problem if we go into the boss's room, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... That's fine, but ...... are you sure you two want to go in there together? You'll die."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Cashew shrugs when he realizes that we are serious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, okay, okay. Okay, we'll go with you. We won't feel too good if you die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, we can't have that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I appreciate the sentiment, but I refuse to accept it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, we're fine on our own. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is where I intervene in their conversation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They must have been surprised that I suddenly interrupted them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looks at me with a "what the hell is this guy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know who you are, but don't underestimate the boss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aisha here is an old friend of mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why would I send her to a place where she knows she's going to die?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Cashew replies in an exasperated and slightly angry tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Cashew, we are not going there without a chance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I appreciate your concern, but could you please back off?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We don't want to spend time here asking and answering questions."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After me and even Aisha, Mr. Cashew reluctantly backed down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He still seemed to want to say something, so we quickly went into the boss's room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The members of the "rising dust" seemed to be looking at the two of us with curious eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, it's usually insane for two people to take on a clan against a clan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you understand their feelings?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With such curious eyes on us, we enter the boss's room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the way, the door to the boss's room cannot be opened from the outside or the inside once a battle has started.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The door stays open until either the boss dies or the challenger dies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, what is the boss?

Wow, that's the rare boss that Cashew and his friends were after.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There's some kind of petrification ability. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's just take it for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Otherwise, I'm too scared to go near it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Mine, that's a rare boss. ...... Is it too much for you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha asks worriedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry, it's a cockatrice type monster, right? That's...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, it's likely to be petrified, so we should mainly use long-range attacks to defeat it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying this, I activate [Magical Artistry Level 2].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, let's go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, as I did when I defeated the orc general, I fire a volley of [magic fire].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I chose "magic fire" because I felt that the bird's feathers would burn well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For a while, there was a roaring sound, and after the attack was over, all that remained was a charred and dazed Coca-Grease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I charged at him at once, using my [Strong Arm Lv 2], [Body Strengthening Lv 2], and [Arm Strength Lv 2] to put an end to his attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I aimed at Coca-Grease's neck, and then I flashed my Lightning Edge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The blow, enhanced by his skill, ricochets off Coca-Grease's head without a second thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Mine, you've gone too far. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aisha's mutterings echoed through the boss's room.
