　When we reached the fifth level, we found ourselves in shallow water, just as Hanzo had told us.

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

　A vast pond filled with water up to the knees was spread out.

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

　It seemed to me that this would be a very comfortable environment for Kelpies to live in, or rather, a terrain where they could display their strength.

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

　Yuri became more and more worried.

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

　He rushed to them, but what he saw was a surprising sight.

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

　Yuri was not carrying his backpack.

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

　He was moving around with his dagger in all directions.

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

　He was attacking at the same speed, or even faster, than the swift kelpies at the water's edge.

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

　The kelpies, their skin ripped open, let out a whimper of pain, but they fought back relentlessly.

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

　A blow to the tail nearly broke the troll's spine.

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

　The boy dutifully avoids it.

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

　A thud and a splash spread out, but the boy calmly assesses the kelpie's position through the spray and slashes at it.

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

　Seeing this, his boss, Jace the Adventurer, said

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

"...... Wow, is that really wimpy Yuri?"

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

　The wizard woman says.

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

"He's a lot stronger than Jace."

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

　Says the warrior.

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

"Oh come on, this is real. ......"

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

　I heard them say that and I said to them.

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

"This is Yuri's true ability. You've been abusing him a lot, maybe he'll get even with you."

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

　Jace and the others turn pale. Inside, they're amused.

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

　Suck it up, they feel, but the boy Yuri has a good heart.

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

　Even after showing them the difference in power and saving them, he will humbly follow Jace.

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

　Yuri's position will be improved and he will not be forced to carry the baggage anymore.

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

　I thought so, but it looks like it will happen.

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

　Yuri seems to be putting the finishing touches on Kelpie as he overpowers him even more.

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

　His face changes.

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

　His eyes are determined.

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

　A man's face.

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

　Yuri dutifully avoids Kelpie's blow, spins closer, and, using centrifugal force, thrusts a dagger between Kelpie's eyes.

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

　He unleashes a relentless blow, a killing blow.

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

　The kelpie goes wild with the blow, but there is nothing he can do if his brain is destroyed.

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

　The giant body is knocked down with a thud.

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

　Yuri defeats Kelpie in this way, and his friends praise him as if he has turned his back on them, but Yuri's face grows stern.

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

　He is not angry about the flip-flop.

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

　He senses that more danger is coming.

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

"Run, Mr. Jace, run!

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

　Just as Yuri says this, a huge object falls from the ceiling of the fifth level.

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

　The object stuck out its tongue and swallowed a kelpie the size of a hippopotamus in one gulp.

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

"Oh, you swallowed that giant?

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

　Jace is horrified.

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

　A creature whose body is almost the same size as its mouth.

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

　The giant toad stares at us with amphibian eyes.

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

　Kelpies, which are somewhere between mammals and fish, seem to be its favorite food, but it also seems to have a mouthful of human food.

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

　It looked at us hungrily.

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

　His tongue lolls out to the warrior under Jace's command.

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

　It quickly snags and tries to put the warrior in his mouth, but Jace gathers his courage and cuts off the tongue with his sword.

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

　The warrior is thereby saved.

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

"......Yuri can't be the only one who gets to look good. I'll show him what a senior can do!"

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

　He shouted and charged at the giant toad.

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

　The wizard, who was watching, covered him with a "fireball" spell, and the monk was taking care of the wounded warrior.

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

　When Yuri sees them, he says, "Everyone is ......," seeming to be mildly impressed.

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

　But Yuri is not only impressed, but also immediately supports Jace, which proves that he is capable of doing so.

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

　I was going to help Jace take down the toads, but decided against it and went to cover him.

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

　I was in a safe zone, so I was able to chant slowly.

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

　I cast the spells properly instead of the usual shortened spells.

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

"Power of the still waters!

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

　Envelope the brave ones!

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

　Water Barrier!"

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

　When Yuri and the others finish chanting the spell, a film of water is formed over them all.

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

　With this membrane, the toads' tongues will slip and they will not be able to prey on them.

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

　It also prevents a blow from a toad.

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

　The monk who was hit by the toad seemed to be prepared to die, but he did not suffer much damage.

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

"What do you mean?"

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

　He looks at me strangely.　

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

　Yuri explains.

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

"That great magician over there is covering me. He seems to have cast a spell to give us some protection.

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

　He points at me.

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

"Well, that's very kind of you."

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

　The monk bows his head.

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

　I tell them.

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

"You can avoid the swallowing attack with this, but you might die if you are crushed by the huge body. Watch out for jump attacks.

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

　The toads predictably jump attacked.

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

　I avoid them safely, but they look at me like I am a prophet.

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

"I'm not a soothsayer, I'm afraid. I'm just a magician.

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

　He lies and looks at Yuri.

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

　I thought about casting an offensive spell on everyone in the party, but I decided that Yuri would be more successful if I focused on him.

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

　I cast a lightning spell on his dagger.

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

　His dagger buzzes.

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

　The dagger is covered with the magic of thunder and its power is increased many times over.

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

　Yuri gulps down his spit.

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

"Wow, that's amazing!　What the hell is this?

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

　He explains.

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

"It's a magic that grants lightning.

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

　Yuri nodded his head in understanding and shouted loudly.

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

"Eat Asito-san's blow!

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

　Yuri shouted, and the toad, perhaps not intimidated by this, slowed his attack for a moment.

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

　He seems to be puzzled by the fact that his defensive magic has rendered his attacks ineffective.

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

　Yuri thrusts his dagger into the belly of the confused toad.

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

　Instantly, the magic of lightning is unleashed, dealing a heavy damage to the toad.

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

　The toad, which is as big as a big rock, screams and falls down.

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

　Jace and the others, who had been watching the toad, shout with joy.

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

　They try to welcome Yuri warmly, but are caught off guard.

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

　The toad was not defeated by the previous blow.

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

　The toad got up with a moment's speed and spat out a strong acid from the pit of its stomach.

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

　At this moment, the toad had a hidden trick.

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

　I cast a transfer spell and held the boy in my arms, thinking that a wall of water would not be enough to protect him from the strong acid.

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

　Then, with the boy in my arms, I dashingly avoided the acid and said

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

"You were quite a formidable monster, you know. But you fought with the wrong person. If there is a next life, be a tree frog and live in the rice paddies.

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

　As soon as I finish saying that, a spell is cast from the palm of my hand.

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

　It is the Lightning Bolt, the magic of the Thunderbolt.

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

　The lightning bolt, a lightning bolt that emerged from the empty space, caught the toad right on the spot.

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

　The strike killed the toad this time,.......

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

　Its skin is scorched and it is lying on its back, so it will not be able to move again.

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

　The people around him seem to have realized this, and this time they burst out in joy.

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

"Wow, wow, what a magician!

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

"Yuri is great, but this sorcerer is many times stronger!"

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

　Jace's companion, a female magician, bows her head and says, "Please take me as your apprentice.

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

　It seems that the current battle has enlightened them and won their respect.

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

　Me and Yuri, too.

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

　I will return to Eve and the others with their admiration.

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

　Jeanne was chewing on a piece of dried meat, "I thought the Demon King would win anyway.

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

　Eve took my cloak and thanked me for my hard work.

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

　Thus, our group defeated the guardian on the fifth level.
