In the 32nd floor of A rank dungeon 「Devil’s prison」, a party was fighting against a 「Greater demon」.
“Alright, we have defeated another one.”
Using a halberd, which was a spear with an ax end, a man shouting while beheading the greater demon.
“Well done! If no one is needed a strength, Hannu, I’m going to lure another one.”
As he said that, a man which is equipped with a large shield went forward to find another greater demon. Not far from him, a man who was called Hannu has started to cast a spell.
“Take this, 【Shield technique】, 《Iron Shield》!”
As he was nearing the greater demon, the greater demon swung down its claw and the man who was holding a shield, took its attack head on. The effect of 【Shield technique】, 《Iron Shield》 was able to make one’s defense as hard as an iron. However, the strength of the greater demon was above the man’s expectation.
“Ugh, Hannu; hurry up!”
As the man who almost succumbed to the pressure of the greater demon cried out, at the same time Hannu third rank 【Sacred Magic】, 《Holy Flame》 enveloped the greater demon.
“Groaaar!”
The screams of the greater daemon resounded in the neighborhood. And the greater demon that was burned by the 《Holy Flame》 soon become charred. The greater demon was a rank six monster that has a high magic resistance to physical attack. If it was attacked by a normal weapon, it won’t even leave a scratch. That is why this party that managed to take down two greater demons can be said made of excellent adventurers.
“Herman, hurry, strip the skin from the greater demon. Hannu, you can go to Ester and cover her with some recovery spell.”
“This greater demon has become charcoal is a bit wasteful. “
While Herman put his halberd on his shoulder, he was still paying attention to the greater demon corpse that was still rising a smoke.
“There’s no choice. Because if we don’t finish this kind of monster in one attack, their unusual regenerative power is able to put us in a difficult situation. Earlier we’re successful because it aimed at Ester and turn her into a ‘panic’ state.”
‘panic’ was an abnormal state that makes a target become panic. As long as they have this status, they won’t be able to do anything and rendered uselessly.
“If you want to talk, this is not the right place. Remember we’re still inside A rank dungeon 「Devil’s prison」.”
“That’s true. Let’s wrap it up and enjoy our rest in a tavern at the Imperial City.”
Herman approached the greater demon and with a knife to stripped the materials, however when he moved closer, the greater demon which neck was almost cut, seemed to grow tentacles that tried to reconnect its body.
(Tl note: this is the first greater demon they kill, early in this chapter)
“This guy isn’t dead eh?”
“Herman, quickly kill it!”
“Keeeekeee…”
There was a strange voice emitted from the greater demon neck. Herman at this point took out his halberd and trying to deliver a killing blow.
“Ah sorry I was clumsy before. But what was that before? Is it calling its kin? Hannu, Ester, have you guys recovered yet?”
“No, I spent too much mana.”
“If that’s so, hurry and recover. If not, we won’t have…”
Before he finished saying that, a lesser demon appeared with drool overflowing from its mouth. It was like a carnivorous beast that was hungry and looking for a prey in front of its eye.
“Don’t worry, it’s only a lesser demon. I can handle it.”
Herman at that point step forward wanting to fight it but as soon as a greater demon emerges from behind it while crushing the lesser demon on its feet, Herman was stopped on his feet. Before his mind regained his calmness, one after another, a greater demon kept showing up. In total, there were nine greater demons.
“Fall back! Everyone, prepare your teleport stone!”
“Wait! You can’t do that. Ester hasn’t finished yet; she won’t be able to use it at this state.”
A teleport stone was an important item that makes adventurer able to teleport outside of the dungeon. However, to use it, that person need to imbue their own magical power to use the teleport stone.
“I’ll say it again. Take out your teleport stone and prepare!”
Enshio words were clear. He has been planning to abandon Ester in the first place.
(Tl note: so it seems the part wasn’t just made up by three people)
Hearing that, Herman’s face was distorted. He looked at Ester and he was shaken. With a heavy heart he took out a teleport stone from his item bag.
