“Eckart, what are you going to do? Your Shield of Black Steel is broken.”
“Don’t worry, I can still fight.”
“Alright, then I’ll recast 【Enchant Magic】.”
“Ho Hoo.”
“….all right.”
“Come to me~.”
Nina and the others said it cheerfully but Lalit and Eckart’s expressions seemed discouraged.
“This is a dungeon that no one has entered before. Let’s take it easy.”
“I agree with Lalit.”
Even though they said that, it still became a hell for Lalit and Eckart. From the 14F, monsters of rank 4 mixed with monsters of rank 5 started appearing. 「Murder Beetle」with its powerful attacks, 「Green Slime」that used poison, 「Mad Mantis」 with their paralysing sharp schytes, 「Dragon Fly」that could fly and attacked from above and 「Bloody Treant」that could cause a bleeding status.
Lalit was suffering from the wide variety of attacks while Eckart had already prepared himself for death several times. However under Yu’s care, they weren’t allowed to fall down. By the time they entered the 16F, they had stopped talking. At the 18F, their eyes had lost all colour. At 20F they had turned into complete killing machines, slaughtering monsters without any other feelings.
Finally, they arrived at the 22F where the teleport pedestal was.
“Alright, let’s take a break and enter. I’ll recast 【Enchant Magic】again.”
“Wait wait wait!”
Lalit who hadn’t showed any emotions till now, cried out loudly.
“Lalit, what is wrong?”
“I think we have had enough for today. I have leveled up twice. I don’t know about you but this is definitely strange.”
“Yeah, I also think that it’s enough for today..”
Due to their desperate pleas Yu gave in. Lalit had leveled up two times and Eckart three. This was because Yu was fighting all monsters that came their way without bothering to flee, dodge, or avoid them.
They returned to the entrance using the teleport pedestal. At the entrance they found out that a 【Barrier】 had already been erected. Joseph had seen them coming and went to welcome them.
When they returned to the Adventurer’s Guild, many people welcomed them.
“Lalit, you’ve done it. Finally you are a C rank!”
“Eckart, you’re also a C rank. Congratulations!”
“Nina-chan, marry me!”
“Lena-chan, how about having a meal with me.”
“Yu, please go out with me.”
That last sentence was said by Joseph who was teasing Yu but it was completely ignored. Lalit and Eckart were receiving the praise while crying. But it wasn’t out of joy. It was because they were relieved to be back to Comer city.
“I managed to return alive!”
“Me too. I thought I was dead!”
