141-Episode 13: A true swordsman can kill an enemy without a sword



 ........How did this happen?

 My name is holly.
 I am under the command of Kureha-sama, the Eight Imperial Generals.
As a Senior Shinobi, I was entrusted with this mission because of my abilities.

 Since my opponent is the Emperor's younger brother, failure was unacceptable, and I even hired Sakura in advance to make the preparations well in advance.

 However, my original plan was to end up only guiding him, but I was forcibly kidnapped and forced to help in the search for my sister.
 Moreover, it's a tremendous method of searching each floor of the building.

 To begin with, my sister is not in this dungeon.
 Knowing this, I want to go home now, but I can't just run away.
 I have no choice but to continue this pointless search.

 But that was still better, and I was about to learn the hard way.

"Alright, let's destroy the dungeon core.
No, no, no, this is supposed to be the biggest dungeon in the world!

 Your brother suddenly said something unintelligible.

 Do you want to conquer this dungeon?
 I'm not going to make it!

 According to what I've heard, the current highest record is forty levels.
 It's almost four times deeper than here.
 Yet we still haven't reached the lowest level, and we don't even know how far the end is.

 Besides, in general, the deeper you go into a dungeon, the more powerful the traps and demons become.
 If you're serious about conquering them, you'll need a large party.
 And yet there are only two of us.

 I tried my best to appeal to him, but he wouldn't listen to me.
 On the contrary, my brother is going lower and lower, lower and lower.

 More and more, more and more, more and more.

 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
 I mean, the lower you go, the faster you get!

''Isn't there something wrong with you earlier? You're not lost at all, are you?
I'm starting to figure out which route is the right one to take, somehow.
What?

 What skills are those?
 I've never heard of it.

Even if I'm a jounin, I can understand the map of the area, but I have no idea of the correct route until I can see the goal point.

"Also, I've become able to use my 'detection' skill.
Yes?
That's a cul-de-sac to the right of there, and that's where the demons are.
'What? How do you know that!
It's surprisingly easy if you can sense the magic, the flow of air, the reverberation of sound and all that sort of stuff.

 Easy...?
 Apparently, the word "easy" is not what I know.

 I've heard rumors about your brother for a long time.

 They say that he is "unemployed" and yet he can use skills and magic for some reason.
 As they say, even though he is "unemployed", the eight imperial generals couldn't do anything about it.
 According to him, even though he was 《unemployed》, he rode into the imperial palace by himself and beat up Her Majesty and left.

 To be honest, I thought, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
 Apparently, I was wrong.

 This person is bad.

''It's too late now, but why are demons dying on their own just now...?''
Because I'm cutting them up.
"How do you slay a demon from about 50 meters away? You don't have a sword, after all, do you?
"A true swordsman can slay his enemies without a sword.

 I don't know what it means at all.

 As we were going through this exchange, suddenly a huge hole appeared in front of us.
 The road was completely cut off and it must have been nearly two hundred meters to the other side.
 We couldn't see how far down the hole was, as it was completely dark.

''I can't go on like this...''

 As expected, even this uncommon brother of mine didn't seem to understand that there was such a big hole in the ground.
 When I was somewhat relieved

Hmm? Let's move on.

 Saying that, he jumped straight for the hole.
 .........What?

'Hey, what are you doing?

 Are you stupid?
 Are you trying to die?
 If you're going to die, don't let someone else die with you, die alone!

 I realized that after cursing so much in my mind.
 There was no sign of falling at all.

'And flying...?

 So you can use flight magic........
 If that's the case, please tell me........your life span has been reduced.......

 Eventually, the boat landed on the other side of the river as if nothing had happened.

 After that, my brother continued to traverse the various levels of the river at a terrific pace.

''Take a right here, then the third corner to the left, and then go straight ahead for about a hundred meters, and if you take the narrow passage on the right, you'll find the stairs beyond.
'So how do you know that...'

 In fact, it was.
 It was five hundred meters away.

 Or rather, it's obvious that my accuracy is improving.
 It's no longer a "clairvoyant" skill, is it?

 No, that may be an exaggeration indeed.
 After all, the clairvoyant skill is a skill that can be used by the illusory ninja gods and bandit gods.

''Clairvoyant?''
Yes. I've heard that he can see a thousand miles ahead.
'Heh, I didn't know you had such a useful skill. I'd love to learn it.
I'm going to...

 Normally, I would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it.
 But I'm afraid that this guy would really do it.
