Although we were surprised by the unexpected appearance of rare monsters, we were able to defeat the boss on the first basement floor.

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

Aisha told me that I overdid it, but I don't regret it because I think it's better than dying or getting injured.

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

I'll just smile and play along with Aisha.

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

Now, the drop you've been waiting for.

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

According to Mr. Cashew, there will be a drop called "speed shoes," but I have the skill [probability] to increase the effect of the drop.

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

I hope something good will come out of it.

The drop was these two.

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

They were both shoes, and one was the speed shoe that I had heard about before I entered.

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

I wonder if the increased movement speed is the same as having the [Shunshin] skill.

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

I see, it means that you can improve your abilities not by skills, but by equipment.

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

And the other one, which is probably a rare drop, is a higher version of speed shoes?

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

Eh? ...... "Walking in the air"? ...... means you can walk in the sky!

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

...... something great, this one.

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

I'll put both of them in storage for now.

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

Aisha and Sylphy should be the ones to use them.

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

I feel bad for Cashew and the others.

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

When I said this, Aisha shook her head and told me, "This is what exploring a labyrinth (dungeon) is like.

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

It's a story that could go on and on.

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

I'm at a loss if she says it's mine because we were in line first.

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

We get ourselves together and head for the next level.

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

This is where the trolls are, our goal this time.

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

After touching the transfer stone properly, we head for the next level.

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

I knew I should have stopped him, even by force.

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

Even if Aisha was a great archer, she had been a retired adventurer for several years.

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

And as her name suggests, her weapon of choice is a bow.

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

Bows, by their very nature, must be kept at a distance from their targets.

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

To take advantage of this ability, she needs a good shield (tank), which is an absolute prerequisite.

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

And yet, Aisha and her party consisted of only one young boy who may or may not have reached the age of adulthood.

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

It is hard to believe that he can play the role of a tank.

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

Even if he has the skill or technique to play the role of a tank, the boss here is a strong ogre, a higher level species of power ogre.

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

It is a monster with vicious strength and defense.

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

It is a powerful enemy that even we have managed to defeat with the help of 20 men.

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

It's not an enemy that just two of us could take on alone.

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

But Aisha and that boy both said they didn't need backup.

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

Once they say so, I have neither the right nor the right to interfere with their actions.

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

It is one's own responsibility to challenge the labyrinth (dungeon).

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

But as I watch them enter the boss's room, I can't help but feel a twinge of regret.

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

Aside from the boy, Aisha is an old friend of mine, even though I haven't seen her for a while.

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

I have to say that it is not a nice feeling to stand here and watch her die with my fingers crossed.

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

A few minutes after they entered the boss's room, there was a roar as if something exploded from inside the room.

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

...... is this the sound of a magical explosion?

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

I have never heard of Aisha using offensive magic.

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

If so, it is reasonable to assume that ...... the boy used magic.

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

So, the boy is not a tank, but an attacker (damage dealer).

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

Then, their strategy would be to fight a short term battle with Aisha's bow and the boy's magic.

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

And, as expected, the surroundings became quiet for about five minutes after the roar.

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

Then, the door to the boss's room was unlocked, and when I peeked inside, they were nowhere to be found.

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

If a player loses to a floor boss, the corpse is left in the room for a while, and after a certain time, it is absorbed into the dungeon.

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

The absence of their bodies means that they have won the game safely.

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

While I was glad that my friend did not die as a result, I was also terrified by the power of just two people to defeat the boss.

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

#Labyrinth of Power (dungeon), second basement floor

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

"I'm glad we managed to get to the floor we wanted."

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

There is no need to attack this floor.

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

The goal is trolls.

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

Trolls, by the way, are huge.

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

Orcs and ogres are big, too, but their general size is around 2 to 3 meters.

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

An orc king is about 5 meters.

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

In contrast, a small troll is about the same size as an orc king.

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

On the other hand, trolls move very slowly and their defense is much lower than that of orcs.

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

Nevertheless, there is a reason why they are considered to be monsters of a higher rank than orcs.

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

First, they have a high regenerative ability that allows them to recover immediately after being attacked and damaged.

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

And the powerful shockwave emitted from its large single eye that occupies more than 1/3 of its face.

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

These two abilities make defeating trolls a difficult task.

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

In fact, a troll cannot be defeated with half the firepower it possesses.

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

There have been many parties that have fought for a long time, but were ultimately unable to defeat the trolls and were wiped out.

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

Therefore, the troll is regarded as a monster of a higher rank than orcs.

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

Incidentally, the boss of this floor is called "Troll Gazer".

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

Even though it has a nasty ability to regenerate damage, this troll's regenerative ability is said to be even more powerful.

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

It is a common sense that rare monsters are usually stronger than the rare ones in the labyrinth (dungeon), but for this one, it seems that the rare ones are easier to defeat.

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

In fact, few parties have broken through this floor.

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

Most of those who did break through were those who defeated rare monsters that they happened to encounter, and only a few were able to break through by defeating the Trollgazer.

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

We proceed to the second basement floor, carefully observing our surroundings.

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

Since we are using [presence detection medium], we are not taken by surprise.

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

After wandering around the floor for about 10 minutes, we finally encounter the troll we were looking for.

"What?

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

I just screamed.

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

What? What's the impact of ...... a magic eye?

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

I suddenly screamed and Aisha looked at me suspiciously.

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

"What's wrong? Mine."

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

I shake my head vigorously and tell him it's nothing.

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

I don't want to tell you that I told myself that there was no way it was nothing.

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

Now, let's see the reason why they are called "higher rank monsters" than orcs, and let's see the power of their rumored regeneration and shockwave.

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

First, let's see its power with our own eyes before taking away its skills.

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

Since it's called regeneration, it can heal wounds and such, but what about loss of body parts?

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

If they can recover even a lost arm or leg, it is understandable that they are more astonishing than orcs.

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

Even if they experiment with it after taking it, I don't think they will try it on themselves.

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

Since the magic eye has an "eye" attached to it, I'd like to see how it works.

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

If it is a skill that something pops out from the eye, I can't let others see me using it.

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

Aisha, let's go!

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

With that, she charges at the troll, and Aisha draws her bow and begins her attack.

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

Before I could get to it, Aisha's arrows hit the troll in rapid succession.

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

Yes, as I had heard, they are quite slow.

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

Orcs and ogres are more formidable foes.

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

...... but!

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

The parts of the body that were injured by Aisha's attack are visibly recovering.

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

I see......... it's true what they say, she is very resilient.

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

Next time, take my attack!

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

He holds the Lightning Edge in his right hand and the Dagger of Beginning in his left.

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

The trolls are slow to move, but the barrage of blows from the left and right hits them like crazy.

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

Although this attack was made without any other skills except for the "double sword" skill, it must have inflicted a considerable amount of damage because of the large level difference.

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

With this much damage, the orcs should have been defeated by now, but the trolls are still holding on.

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

I stepped forward to inflict more damage, and that's when it happened.

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

Something" hit me and I was blown away. At the same time, I felt intense pain all over my body.

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

The word to describe it is "shock.

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

A mass of invisible power.

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

I guess this is the "magic eye of impact," something different from the same invisible wind magic.

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

Mine!

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

Aisha rushes to me and heals me with [Magic, Great Recovery Lv4].

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

"......Thank you,Aisha."

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

...... This is very nasty.

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

It feels as if it is triggered with no pre-motion at all.

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

"Hey, Aisha. Did you see that attack?"

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

"I thought I saw your eyes light up for a second, but I didn't ...... see anything at all."

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

He must have understood what I wanted to say, because he immediately gave me the answer I wanted.

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

Perhaps the flash of the eyes was a preliminary move, but since it was an invisible attack, I could not be sure.

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

On the other hand, I can't tell what he did from the outside, which was my concern.

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

It seems safe for me to use it in public.

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

"...... It's certainly more dangerous than orcs, isn't it?"

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

I thought I had driven him to the point of almost defeating him after slashing him so hard, but he seems to be recovering quite well in the short time I've been with him.

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

I couldn't confirm the loss of parts because it was blown away by the magic eye, but it seems to be recovering at such a rapid rate. .......

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

There is a similar skill, [Auxiliary Magic, Gradual Recovery (Strength) LV2], but I think the regeneration skill is more effective.

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

...... Okay, now I know more about the skills.

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

I quickly cut [Regeneration] and [Eye of Shock] and stick them on me.

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

As usual, I stick the [Gouou-ryoku] on a pebble and throw it into my storage bag.

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

The troll, on the other hand, runs out of【Rebirth】before I can recover all of it, and seems to be in a quandary.

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

All right, let's take them all out in one fell swoop!

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

The attack power is increased by stacking [Strong Arm, Extreme], [Body Strengthening, Large], and [Arm Strength Strengthening, Extreme].

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

Furthermore, I invoke [King's Intimidation].

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

The troll begins to shake and shake, unable to move at all.

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

I pick up a fist-sized stone from the ground and throw it as hard as I can at its chest, where I think its heart is.

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

The stone hits the troll with a force unmatched when I had been slaying slimes with pebbles, and the ...... troll falls forward.
