Looking at the images of the dungeon projected from the God's Eye from the God's Table, the shell clubs and fire dragons don't look that threatening. Of course, they looked terrifying at first, but after seeing them many times, the spectators would get used to them. Xeno also had that feeling since he had seen the divine table every day.

　However, the first time he faced a shell club or fire dragon directly, Xeno was clearly terrified. A monster so large that it could be looked up at would normally require the magic tools of an anti-large monster and dozens of trained soldiers to defeat it. To have to take on such a monster with five people was unbelievable to Xeno, who was from the royal capital.

　Therefore, Zeno, who was facing the Mounted Golem, the most massive monster currently confirmed in the God's Dungeon, was naturally terrified. He had only heard of such a monster in the lore, and he thought it was terrifying to see it on the divine table.


''Combat-o!　Cry!


　But Xeno didn't show any signs of fright and released a silver combat cry and avoided the heat rays released from both of the Mounted Golem's eyes with a paperweight. His body didn't freeze, and his movements were not stagnant. Xeno then stepped ahead of Daryl and ducked under the mounted golem's feet.

　Zeno, who is lighter than Daryl, can avoid and respond to the mount golem's instant death attacks, such as stomping and slamming his palms into the mount golem. That's why Xeno had been advised by his wife that he should dare to dive under the feet of the mounted golem.

　But most of us would be too scared to fight under the feet of a giant mounted golem on the first try. It's only the middle of the battle so you can still just barely avoid it, but it's mentally tough to be able to unleash an attack that will kill whoever it hits.


''Lukewarm!　Tepid tepid!　The fire dragon is even more powerful than that!


　Xeno says provokingly in a voice that passes like a theatricalian's, while backstepping to avoid one of the legs the mounted golem swings at him. He uses his hand shield to block the flying rock fragments and ducks under a palm strike.


'Sora!　TAUNT SWING!


　Xeno struck the mounted golem's caved-in hand on the ground with his hand shield, and the heat ray that flew at him barked back and went straight up into the air to avoid it. It is not only a good idea to have a good time, but it is also a good idea to have a good time with your own personal life.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good idea of the direction in which I'm going to be sent, so I almost fell into the lava, but I managed to regain my stance in the air. Xeno, who had been struck off for the first time by the tremendous force, felt dizzy from the impact so much and held his head down.


''Gu, oh. That's a pretty good punch. I think you'll be able to win the championship if you participate in the martial arts competition!


　Xeno coughed painfully and vomited blood when he said that to the mounted golem that was walking languidly and quickly towards him. In the meantime, Corina recovered from the damage she had received earlier with a healing wish.

　Although she had expected it, the mounted golem's attack was extremely painful. Even though she was hit by the edge of her fist, she still had to suffer serious injuries to her internal organs. Despite the words that seem to be spare, Xeno repeats a shallow breath at the blow that almost crushes his will to fight.


(Ouch!　What a ridiculous power!　Is this what they were under attack for?


　Daryl seemed unconcerned, so I thought I would be fine too, but this attack was not going to be able to take many. The hand shield that had been hit by his fist was crumpled, and the arm that held it was in pain, not even a battle. Xeno's legs are shaking from too much pain and he is about to fall to his knees.

　The Eye of God came close to Zeno as if to see what was going on. Zeno forms eye to eye with God's eye.


(.........I can't just fall down here, can I?)


　I'm sure my beloved wife will be looking at me with her eyes on the divine table. Others who have seen my articles and Xeno's fans have also seen the battle on these seventy levels.


''Haha. That was a good fist, but it's not going to reach this Xeno!　You guys out there!　Your support will help Xeno!　I'm counting on you to give me your support!


　Xeno pointed to the Eye of God with a shining smile and a false sense of urgency. But if it weren't for this vanity, Zeno would surely have broken. He would not show his beloved wife, his fans, in a hapless manner. That was the pillar that supported Zeno.

　Xeno wanted to drink the potion on his back hip, but Daryl hadn't used it once, even though his Vit was higher than he was, he hadn't used it in the dozens of times he'd taken this beating already. He couldn't use it, and Xeno retracted the hand he had extended behind him.

　Then the sound of Kaburaya's release that could be heard made Xeno realize that he was going to blow away the nausea he was feeling.


'Diniel-kun!　A beautiful shot, please!
Noisy,


　Diniel shoots a whisper back at Xeno's passing voice and paints a light blue meteor in the sky. Then, as Xeno whistles at the massive amount of arrows falling, he acts stoutly and confronts the mounted golem.

　Daryl works with Melcho to attract the miscellaneous enemies that are automatically generated from the Mounted Golem's back and keep them from heading towards Zeno. This time, Daryl's burden is low because Melcho can take out about five or six of them quickly. So Daryl's strength recovered, but he looked unusually frustrated.

　Dodging the heat attack in the air, Xeno ran around underneath the mounted golem's feet in a bit of a hurry. Xeno had trained for a long time in the ravines and canyons, and he was extremely good at aerial maneuvers. He makes full use of his skills to show how he can be both an evasive and receiving tank.

　However, his skills are still not as good as Daryl's, who has more experience. As a result, the stream arrows don't hit all of the bullets, and the heat rays are flying around the area, preventing Korina from using her scorching rock robes to protect herself from them.

　Besides, as the number of miscellaneous enemies decreases, the mounted golems move faster. When there were only six of them left, Xeno's hit count went up.


''Still........still!　Combat Cry.


　After receiving the fists and kicks from the Mount Golem, Zeno's speech became less and less generous, and his words became less and less. However, he was able to stand around without losing his strong tone of voice.

　Corina has focused her healing wishes on Xeno, but her recovery has not been able to keep up. And when there's no more time to spare, her thoughts narrow and the decision to drink the potion slips from her mind. I can't even dawdle on my standing.


'Xeno-san!　I'll take your place!


　Daryl called out to him, finally realizing his limits after seeing Xeno's standing around instead of his mouth, but he is trapped by the powerful attack of the mounted golem that eats him for the first time. His voice doesn't get through, and the tank doesn't change hands well.

　Then the mounted golem, which is moving faster and less mechanically, kicks Xeno off on its tiptoes. After being blown away as it rolled around on the ground, Xeno entered the lava and turned into particles.


　--Oooh--


Miss Corrina!
We have about two minutes to revive him!
Yes, sir!　Melcho-san, I'll take care of the golems!


　Daryl regretted that he hadn't been able to determine Xeno's limits, but his head was calm. He immediately gave instructions to the entire group and released an indigo combat cry with maximum mental power.


''Diniel-san!　No attacks until Xeno-san is back, please!


　There are six golems left. When there are three golems left, the mounted golems will turn their red eyes upward and attack as a whole, moving into the endgame. However, as their health is reduced, the number of golems will decrease faster, so the time for a full attack will be faster. It would be most unpleasant if Xeno revived during the whole attack, so Daryl interrupted Diniel's attack.


''Defensive.''


　Instead of lowering his AGI (Agility), Daryl uses a skill that increases his VIT (Sturdy), and he is attacked by the mounted golem. The intense attack would not cause fatal injuries if Daryl, with his high VIT, received it. However, the hand that receives the impact is in pain and is not much of a replacement for Xeno.

　But Daryl's pain tolerance is strong, probably because of the training he received from Garum. Besides, this time Daryl was about to cross the limit himself, so he recognized the pain as an ordeal.

　Despite being a tank position, Garum was on the front line, not losing out to attackers with his firepower. Of course, there were other excellent tanks besides Garum, and their efforts were not inferior. The reason why he was the only one who could remain on the front line despite this was because he had put himself beyond the limits.

　Death was something close to home for the searchers who were attacking the divine dungeon. Being able to accept that death is the first barrier as an explorer, and if you don't get used to being killed over and over again, you won't be able to continue your dungeon conquest.

　Therefore, old explorers are used to death. They are accepting of death. It was natural for explorers to do so, but it also caused them to escape death.

　They choose death to escape the pain. Searchers who have become accustomed to death often take that option. The only penalty for death is supplies, so there's nothing wrong with that. If you die, you can start over anyway. If you don't try now, you can try again next time. Most explorers think like that, and it's inevitable.

　No one wants to be in pain. It's better to choose death than to drink a high potion and survive. The only thing you have to lose is your equipment, and the most valuable thing you can take back with you. That's why I would choose death over forcing myself to fight.

　But Garum was different. But Garum was different. He faced death head on and fought back. He always fought with all his might and would not give up, even when his comrades would choose to commit suicide. The explorers had dulled his instincts to avoid death, but Garum was having none of it.

　The last power displayed by a creature in the face of death. Garum was able to use his physical body to its limits because of it. Thanks to that, even a knight with a low STR was able to stand on the front line, but his appearance was very full of madness. Explorers were in awe of such Garum and called him a mad dog.

　The limited power that could be obtained by standing on the edge of death. However, Garum would not encourage others to do so. He knows that it is very painful for him. That's why he didn't tell his disciple, Daryl, about it either.

　But Daryl had been told about it by Garum, albeit only in words. He had been cornered without any backing and was able to demonstrate a power that could only be demonstrated in that situation. That's why I was able to stand on that spot.

　Daryl had found an opportunity to bring out that limit in this battle. The last battle against Mount Golem. He tried to stand, but he couldn't. Amira had abused him and he felt sorry for himself. I was treated like this, being treated as a disciple of Garum, and I got everyone in trouble. I don't want to go through that again. That's why Daryl was trying to draw out his limit of power, just like Garum.

　When he was cornered by the Mount Golem earlier, Daryl was in better shape than he had ever been in his life. His hearing had been sharpened to the point where he could even hear everyone's breathing, and he could see the mounted golem's movements clearly. Just when he thought he could reach his limit if he kept this up, he was interrupted by Xeno. Daryl, who also knew how many golems there were, was honestly pissed off.

　However, Daryl had certainly caught a glimpse of the limit.


(Remember. The feeling at that time.)


　Daryl remembered the feeling he had earlier as the mounted golem beat him to the punch. And the memory of his last bitter defeat. Daryl forgot to blink and watched the mounted golem's movements, wondering how he would ever make the same mistake twice.

　The mounted golem punched and kicked him, and as the heat grew, Daryl rolled on the ground to confront it. And as soon as the wish to revive is granted and Xeno is revived along with the light, Daryl uses multiple skills.


''Warrior Howl. Taunt Swing.''


　Daryl overrides the hate on Corrina earned by the wish to revive her and keeps the attack from going to her. Then, he takes the heat rays that are unleashed from her eyes with his large red shield.


'Please cover Melcho-san until the whole attack comes!
Yes, sir!


　Xeno, who was revived and handed his spare equipment to Corina, strained his voice to switch and replied to Daryl. And when the golem count was down to three, the mounted golem's red eyes began to glow upwards.
