A year has passed since I moved to this world. The activities of the demons are becoming visibly more and more active. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.

　The demon king has already revived and the damage caused by the demons has begun to increase. The demons called Stampede are rushing in en masse and attacking villages and towns in several cases.

　It seems that full-blown stampede hasn't occurred yet, and although I haven't heard of any villages being destroyed, it's not a situation where you can let your guard down.


　In the midst of all this, 'I' and Tina had come to the dungeon of the ruins in the Land of Beastmen (Bestieth). The objective was to improve our own level. We have to defeat the Demon King as soon as possible, but that's because "I" and the others didn't have that much power yet.

　There is no Sarion here. In a situation where the whole world is frightened of the devastation of demons, there is no way the country would let a force as strong as his to play, and Sarion was ordered to protect the royal capital of Alheim.

　Before entering the dungeon, 'I' was level 70 and Tina was level 55. And it was said that this dungeon was a dungeon built by the Creator God for the training of heroes.

　There are several such dungeons in this world. In particular, the dungeon of this ruin is said to be a dungeon for training low-level heroes, and it was the best place for 'I' and Tina to level up.

　The level of the demons will gradually increase from the first level, and if things go well, they will be measured so that they can exceed level 100 when they step through.

　Also, it is said that unless there is someone below level 100 who came from another world - in this case, the world that 'I' came from - they cannot enter this dungeon.

　The reason why I know this is because it is written so on the monument at the entrance of the dungeon. A soldier from Bestieth led me to this dungeon, but he couldn't read the words on the stone tablet.

　It really seems to be a dungeon for brave people only.

　Since the purpose of this dungeon was to make the brave stronger, he thought that he should be able to traverse it if he proceeded with a safety margin even without Sarion.

　And in case of an emergency, there's a(...) le. I' and Tina stepped into the dungeon of the ruins.


　

　He defeated the floor boss of the first layer without any problems. Even though it was the first level, there were many rare items stored in various places.

　This was a training dungeon for low-level heroes, but most heroes would have to be properly raised to a higher level by the Creator God before coming to this world.

　And high level heroes cannot enter this dungeon. Furthermore, ordinary adventurers couldn't enter this dungeon either, so the items had been abandoned ever since this dungeon was built.

　They could take all the rare items they wanted.


　After clearing the first tier, after touching the stone monument to go to the next tier, 'I' was sent to a room with four pedestals. Tina did not come to that room.

　Perhaps the conditions for entering this room are that she or he came from a different world.

　I'm impatient that I was sent to another place with Tina. I try to search for Tina with my weakness, magic detection, but I couldn't explore the outside from this room at all.

　Even if she tried to leave the room, there was no door.

　Thinking that retrieving the item is a flag to leave the room, I try holding the item on the four pedestals.

　But nothing happens.

　For now, I put the items in my hand together on one pedestal.

　I'm worried about Tina, but she seems to be able to level up easily thanks to the blessing of the 'Blood of the Brave', and she was level 58 when I stepped through the first layer.

　The demon of the first layer was about level 30. There won't be any demons that strong at the second level either. Besides, Tina was smart. She shouldn't be distraught just because she's lost to me.

　Thinking that, I decided to calm down too.

　First of all, we should check the items we have with us. There might be a clue to get out of the room.

　On a pedestal in this room was a single leaf, a bag made of linen-like cloth, a reasonable dagger, and a book.

　The book was completely unreadable, neither the cover nor the contents of the book. The purpose of the book was to traverse the dungeon. I decided to leave the unreadable book behind, deciding that it would only get in the way.

　I'm not sure about the leaves, but they're not too bulky, so I put them in my pocket for now. I'll have Tina look at it later.

　I stuffed the dagger and the burlap bag into the bag that had held the items so far. It wasn't a particularly good clue to leave the room.

　I then somehow touched the wall and found that only one side of it was able to go through the wall. There was nothing else I could do, so I jumped into that wall with my mind.

''Master Halt!''

　Tina was right behind the wall and hugged me when she realized that 'I' had appeared. She must have been anxious, she was a little teary-eyed. Anyway, I was relieved to see that Tina was safe.

　After Tina calmed down, I asked her to look at the items. The leaf was a super rare item, a leaf from the World Tree.

　I wasn't sure about the dagger, but the linen bag was a storage bag, an item that you could put as many things in as you wanted. Moreover, it was a gem of the highest level of rarity among storage bags in that it didn't feel the weight of what you put in it, and it continued to retain the state it was in when you put it in.

　This is indeed a dungeon built by the God of Creation. The grade of the bonus items that were placed there were different. If that's the case, the book I left behind must have been very valuable as well, but since it seemed I couldn't return to that room, I decided to give up and move on.

　I'm sure there are lots of rare items lying around down the road as well. With their hearts racing, "I" and Tina resumed the dungeon attack.


　─ ─ ─ ──＊＊＊────.

　Except when moving from the first level to the second level, I was never sent to the bonus room.

　And while smoothly leveling the dungeon, I didn't leak any rare items into the storage bag while attacking the dungeon.


　That's the way it is now - the final layer of the dungeon, and we're fighting the red dragon that is the boss.

　The last boss is a dragon.....

　The dragon tribe is a demon classified as the highest danger level - S-ranked. In particular, this one in front of me and Tina has the power of the chief class of each attribute.

　By the time I came here, I was level 105 and Tina was level 98. Even so, on their own, they were completely inferior to the red dragon.

　In order to defeat the dragon tribe, they need at least level 150. If 'I' and Tina's levels were combined, they would exceed that, but that wouldn't happen without perfect coordination.

　Even though the enemies up to this point had a higher level than 'me' and the others, they still managed to defeat them by cooperating with Tina. But this one is different.


　It can't be helped, let's use A-Re.

"Tina!　Let me protect you!

Yes!

　Following the pre-determined signal, Tina took a distance from the red dragon and moved behind me.

　And then sheathed her sword in its scabbard.

　Even though there is an enemy far stronger than me right in front of me, this is a suicidal act of putting the weapon away. But it was all an action as we discussed.

　The moment he was strongly aware that he had to protect Tina, who was no longer in a state to fight, the moment he realized that he had to protect her...


　He felt his status rapidly increase.
　The guardian (skill) had been activated.

　All my stats doubled.


'Sorry, I'm going to have to cheat a bit.


　I' defeated the red dragon.

　The guardian (skill) made it possible for the guardian to have a status equivalent to level 210, so it was not my enemy.

　This is why I and Tina stepped through the dungeon of the ruins.
