　I don't want to be called a hero.

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

　That is Kikiriri's honest opinion.

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

　The truth is, I didn't even want to go up to the vajra class.

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

　It was because the big and nagging one had easily given up his promotion after he had beaten up a muddy giant who was a bit of a nuisance.

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

　Well, that can't be helped.

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

　It's only natural that those who are good at what they do should be treated accordingly.

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

　Another big reason is that I was fed up with the grimy, muddy hunting grounds.

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

　But that doesn't mean that I don't agree with being forced to go to such a dark and cold place and deal with troublesome monsters all the time.

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

　The Kikiriri have no reason to risk their lives for the sake of those who are sitting in the safety of their walls.

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

　They're happy to fight, even though they've never held a weapon in their hands.

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

　But it is the Kikiriri who are actually running around, sweating, bleeding, and pissing themselves to death.

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

　And so, they have no interest in the retrieval of the supposed cause of the noxious plague, which they loudly advocate.

　The daredevil lovers who wish to challenge the master of the labyrinth are left to their own devices.

　A little free money and the respect that goes with the position.

　The rest of the day is spent relaxing, and occasionally, to relieve the stress, they beat the monsters to death.

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

　This is the ideal of Kikiriri.　　

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

　But to lead such a life, you must have achievements.

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

　At least, they have to show some achievements.

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

　And if the number of monsters increases too much and the border town becomes unfeasible, that would be a problem too.

　The warrior with two purple eyes stared at the giant that stood in his way.

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

　A long neck covered with pitch-black scales and a rocky mountain-like torso.

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

　His jaws are so wide open that they could easily swallow a kikiriri in one gulp.

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

　Lifting one of its wings, the dead dragon roared at the rude intruders.

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

　But its vocal cords had long since decayed, and all that could be heard was the deafening sound of air passing through it.

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

　The body of the dragon named Zoldamarg had been treated in various ways until its life ended.

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

　The right wing was cut off at the base to prevent escape, and the left hind leg was missing from the knee down.

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

　The other leg is firmly connected to the back wall by a thick chain ring.

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

　However, it is the head that shows the most cruel aspect.

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

　The right half of the face is bare white bone, as the flesh has been removed so many times.

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

　Almost all of the fangs have been removed, and the jaw is so distorted that it is impossible for the victim to bite properly.

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

　And the upper part of the jaw.

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

　As a result of some kind of experiment, the eyes were not where they should have been.

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

　Instead, seven eyeballs are distortedly arranged on the left side of the face along the long protruding upper jaw.

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

　Except for the lowest one, all of them are still covered by a white dura mater, and are now nothing more than useless objects that only move around.

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

　The head is not functioning properly.

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

　The wings on the front legs and one of the hind legs are missing, and the animal is so chained up that it cannot move at all.

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

　It would seem an easy opponent.

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

　However, the labyrinth masters of the fixed dungeon are not so naive as to accept a hasty judgment.

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

　The only remaining means of attack against the dead dragon is its mouth, which has lost one decent eyeball and fangs.

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

　Its eyes, called "bind eyes," are imbued with a strange power that renders it unable to move if it stares into them for more than a second.

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

　And though it has lost its power to bite, the famous dragon's breath still lives on.

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

　But Zoldamarg does not emit a turbulent stream of flame, but a breath of ice that will freeze your entire body if you are exposed to it.

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

　He glares at you to stop you from moving, and then mercilessly drains your strength with his cryogenic cold air, which he exhales over a wide area.

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

　If you try to avoid them, their flailing wings and tails will intercept you.

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

　These too were so powerful that they could easily crush even a tiny human body part just by grazing it.

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

　Furthermore, they were not lacking in defense either.

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

　The pitch-black scales that cover the dragon's decaying body seamlessly are as large as a two-handed shield.

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

　Its hardness made it impractical to be used with ordinary weapons, and it even possessed troublesome characteristics.

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

　They could absorb and nullify all the deeds of spirits, such as heat, ice, and thunder.　

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

　However, there is a limit to the amount, and after being exposed to a certain amount of attacks, it turns white and loses its powers.

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

　The previous defeat was won by attacking him with all the magical techniques at the beginning of the battle, bringing him into that state, and then using the martial arts he had released to drive him back to the front at once.

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

　However, this time, the two rear guard members do not have the same powerful magic as Ninessa.

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

　And there was no useful Stratchia who could take all the responsibility for the attack.

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

　In the first place, the twins left "Platinum Flame" because of the disappearance of these two.

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

　In their place came an aspiring swordsman and a constantly distracted flame wielder.

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

　The obvious decrease in strength is directly related to death in this labyrinth.

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

　And with Stratchia, who had been playing the shield role, gone, the two of them inevitably had to step forward.

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

　It would be stupid or incompetent to stay in such a place with increased danger and no change in treatment.

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

　Kikiriri and the others had been thinking of simply retiring, but then they received an unexpected call.

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

"Will you cooperate with us until we defeat the master of the labyrinth in the fifteenth layer?　After that, I will arrange for you to join a competent party."　

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

　It was a sudden offer, but the twins decided to accept.

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

　They had to have defeated the dragon of rotting corpses twice, and had to have broken through the third level of the fixed dungeon, which was enough to become a high priest of the temple.

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

　Of course, the true intention of the person who said this has been carefully ascertained, and it has been confirmed that he is not lying by Nene's .

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

　Kikiriri breaks his gaze for a moment from the dragon, who has begun to flinch, and takes in the scenery around him.

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

　The fifteenth floor is only one room, but it is spacious with high ceilings and plenty of room to move around.

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

　The floor is littered with the remnants of collapsed columns, leaving plenty of places to hide.

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

　The stone walls have many uneven surfaces due to age and deterioration, so there is no shortage of footholds.

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

　A window-like depression at the top of the wall caught Kikiriri's eye and he frowned slightly.

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

　It seemed to be a remnant of the spectators' seats.

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

　The staircase that one enters has already been barred, so escape is not allowed.

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

　However, if two hearts were placed on the pedestal next to it, the doorway would open.

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

　This is a remnant of the cruel spectacle that took place here long ago.

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

　Chiru has told us to use ours in the worst case, but Kikiriri has no plans to do so.

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

　Not because he is afraid to take on his friends, but because he does not expect to lose.

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

　Glaring at the floor filled with a cowering chill, the warrior declared loudly, gripping his beloved axe in each hand.

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

"Let's get started!"

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

　Despite his previous inner monologue, his brief words were filled with a tremendous fighting spirit.
