It's been a long time since I've heard a voice.

'You've made it this far. You are an adventurer.

　In front of me stood a silver-haired, all-back man in armor.

　When I sobered up a while ago, I somehow walked down the aisle and opened the door that appeared in front of me.
　It's a nondescript door.
　I entered the room without letting my guard down.
　And this man appeared in front of me.

It's Zuri," he said, "I haven't seen you in years. How many years has it been since I've seen you? "How many years has it been since I have had an adventurer appear before me?
It's been over 150 years, old man.

　Next to the man flies a small monster called Zuri, with wings like bats in his eyes.

'What, 150 years?　That much? How long..... I've been here for 150 years?

　Why have I been here for 150 years and not noticed it?

'O Zuri. It's a feast today.

　As the man said this, he turned his attention to me.
　That's when I realized that this guy wasn't human.
　Two yellow eyes that glowed in the darkness.
　It was like a snake, and it was clearly not human.

　The chandelier hanging from the ceiling suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire room.
　The room with the lights back on looked like the room he had seen at Graysberg.
　The face of the man in front could be clearly seen.

'I am Shaoan the Serpent King!　So, adventurers, let's get started!

　The next moment, the figure of the man who called himself Shaoan disappeared.

"Kill each other--" said a man's voice in my ear.

　At that moment, an intense pain in your abdomen that you've never felt before.

''Huh? Aaaaaaah!

　I understood at once.
　There was a sword in my stomach.
　This guy moved in front of me in an instant and stabbed me with his sword.
　I felt a pulsing sensation and something warm in my stomach.

　Shaoan pulled his sword out.
　I fall to my knees, holding my stomach.

'I remember!　I remember, I remember the feeling!

　Xiao Tong laughed out loud as he looked at the blood-stained sword.

''It's a shame indeed. Even this was unavoidable. I see that in the last 150 years of my retreat, the power of the adventurer has diminished.
Haha! My mouth is bleeding. It hurts. Disgusting. ...heal!

　You press your hand to the abdomen and heal the wound with your hand.

"Hmm, are you a Priest?　Then I can understand why you can't see me. Zuri.
Yes, Dad.

　The beady-eyed monster was staring at me.

'Dad, I get it!　This guy is a healer!
'What!　A healer. That's absurd. Are you saying that the Healer-feelings have reached this King's room all by themselves?
I don't know. And he's really weird.
What's weird?
This guy's got skills.

　That's when my wounds healed completely.

"Saint Shine!

　He picked up his staff and aimed it at Zuri and released a white ball of light magic.

''Zuri!''

　Zuri burst out.
　Xiaon looked back towards me again.

-- ''With the defeat of Mad-Eye [Lv: 350], I will activate my unique skill 《Goddess Blessing》.''

　For now, let's do that later.
　By the way, the level of the monsters here is very high.
　Even that was 350.

You adventurer!　How dare you, Zuri!

　Once again, Shaoan's blade is approaching.

''Erosional Waves [Disappearing Aura]!

　The evil sphere enveloped me.

'Nah!'

　The moment he activated his magic, Xiao Xiong stopped the sword he had swung down on the way out and immediately got away from it.

''Ore!　How dare you use my beloved sword, the snake sword Kyrgyzstan!

The grasshopper?　I didn't know it had such a shitty name, that sword.

　Xiao Xiong has blue veins floating on his face and is glaring at us with a demon like appearance.

''You!　Not content with just Zuri, even my beloved sword!
Sorry, old man. I owe you a bellyful.
I saw that you have a big mouth.
'It's been a while since I've found someone to talk to, but I didn't think I'd be a monster either. By the way, old man--can you tell me where I am?
"Do you think I'm a fool? I am the Serpent King!
I seriously don't know where we are.

　Xiao Yun glared at him.
　So, for some reason, he said, "Huh! I laughed.

'There is no mistaking Zuri's eyes. It is clear that you are a healer. But what is that magic?　Aren't you a healer?
Zuri was right in his eyes, wasn't he?
The spell that killed Zuri. It was probably caused by his staff. It's probably the magic of the holy attribute. I'm not sure how many times I've heard of this. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. What the hell are you?
Healer.
He's a talker.

　A troubled, low voice of anger echoes in the room.

'That's why I'm a healer,'
"Don't lie to me!
No, she's a healer. You heard the eyeball.　Healer, he said. I thought you were sure about that.
You!　You're taunting me to Zuri!
No, no, no. Can you hear me?　It's getting kind of messy.

　He activated the "Wave of Erosion, Disappearing Aura" again, stopping and maintaining it to the extent that it covered him.

''You will not say anything? Don't you think that's disrespectful?
No.

　I don't know what to say to this guy anymore.

'Well, if I had to say anything, I'd say NEET.

　The irony of this is that it's directed at Saeki.
　Let's spread the name and finally say in front of him, "You're going to get killed.
　"You're going to be killed by Nito.

"I see you're a nitwit. Yeah, right.
'No, not Nito, Nito!
I don't need to tell you again to hear that!　By the way, Nito. You don't think you're going to make it out of here alive, do you?

　Apparently, my ears are rotten.
　I decided not to say anything else.
　I don't know why he's so convinced.

"Yeah. I think.
LOL!

　As I said that, Shaoan disappeared in front of me again.
　I expanded my wave range.
　And--

Geez! Xiao Yun's scream was heard.

　The wave motion hit Shaoan brilliantly.
　It was that stupid guy anyway.
　He must have rushed in at that stupid speed again.
　Sure enough.
　There was Shaoan's figure, who had lost his right hand and right leg.

''Guhahahahaha!　I'm appalled that I've been reduced to this level of dismay. Was I the one who had lost my strength?

　I opened my status with Shaoan at my side.
　It was because I hadn't picked my loot yet after the defeat of Mad-Eye.

Hooooooo!
Skill: The Magic Eye of Truth
Consumables: high-grade recovery medicine
Equipment: Knight's Axe
Magic: A Flash of Darkness
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

　A Flash of Darkness is hard to dismiss, but its ability is not as good as it could be.
　The Magic Eye of Truth will be useful in the future.

Woohoo!
Skill: The Magic Eye of Truth
You can take a peek at the status of the target.
ーoooooooo.

--''I have mastered the skill "The Magic Eye of Truth.

You don't have to worry about it. I didn't see you move at all.
"Don't you ever forget to say sorry to a loser? Kuhk ... that's very generous of you.
Not really. You just don't seem like a very bad guy.
That's because you're not ready for it.
Well, that's good advice. Thanks for the advice.

　I heard the sound of the leveling up in my head.

'Never mind. It's just a whim. 'Whim, then one more thing, listen to me.'
Hmm?
You are a healer, aren't you?
'As I've said many times before, yes,'
But I don't doubt it anymore.

　Xiaon seemed to be thinking about something.

''Then you'd better hide your identity from now on.
What do you mean?
'I am still the king of snakes who lived for hundreds of years. I used to be famous all over the land. I was once famous all over the continent, but you were able to change me into this form so easily. You are a healer, and your strength is unimaginable. He's a healer and his strength, and on top of that, he uses unknowable magic. So it's clear that everyone will want it.

　I heard a voice in my head that ended the level up.

If you're just a fool who wants to show off, do what you want. But if not, then listen to me. A powerful man's strength alone attracts others. And perhaps you have a tendency to get yourself into trouble. I have lived for hundreds of years. I know most things when I see them.
...Maybe you're right.

　I remembered myself when I was bullied.
　The only thing that attracted me was the trouble.

'That strange magic. If I asked you to tell me why, you wouldn't tell me, would you?
I don't know what I'm talking about. It's just that I took some weird liquid I found on the way here and it worked for me.
Oh, I see. It's true. There's no such thing as...
'Yes. Before I die, I need you to tell me one thing.
'What?　You can ask me anything you want.
Does the term "avenging God" ring a bell?
....

　Shaoan's eyes widened.
　Apparently he knew something.

'Nito, where did you get that name?　No, that's what I meant.... Hahahahaha.

　Shaoan suddenly burst out laughing.
　The snake's eyes looked more eerie.

''What. You know something?
Hmm?　Oh, I'm sorry. It's been a while since I've heard a name that I've missed, so I just...
Bye.
I've only heard that name once. A long time ago. It's a nickname for a cursed adventurer. But it is all I know.
Hmm. He's a god and an adventurer. I don't get it.
'Well, don't worry about it. As you travel through this world, you'll know its name one day.
You really do know something else, don't you?
Don't be in a hurry. Save the fun for later. By the way, Nito. What is your real name, my lord?

　I smiled thinly.

'What? I'm sure I can understand you. Masamune........Hidaka Masamune.
Masamune. He's the one with the name...
Have you changed?

-- "Defeating the Serpent King Xiong will activate his unique skill, Goddess Blessing.

"Old man?

There was no more for Xiaon to reply.







　Xiaon was dreaming on the edge of death.
　A dream from a long time ago.


The God of Vengeance!　That's right, Shaoong!　I will make my name known to the world!


(I hear a nostalgic voice.... Why had I forgotten about it until now?)

　There is a sea of clouds in front of us.

(Will you leave it to that one?)
(It's not like that. It's just a whim.

　Someone was standing in front of Shaoan.

(A whim........that's your answer. Then we shall see what happens to him. (O Zephyr.)
(Huh ... that way of talking, you're still the same. (Xiaon)

　As he spoke, the two of them disappeared into the distance.
