Chapter 21


Area Boss


I look back to where I’ve already went to .


The location where I transferred first .


The place where I had been fighting for survival against the monsters .


The upper area,


The deserted area,


Area other than those are still unknown .


[I’m not sure since I haven’t marked the place, but I’m sure I didn’t go there yet…]


I walked on the rustling sands with caution .


Did I walk for about 2 or 3 hours?


I now stood before a huge, semicircular, distorted hole .


[…let’s go . ]


I step one foot forward .


Hyoooooooh…


The sound of wind?


I can feel the flow of wind passing through .


However, I don’t think it would be conveniently connected to the exit .


I have not encountered a monster so far .


It’s like there’s no sign of it anywhere here .


Is this an area where there are neither minotaurs nor birdheads living here?


I touch the black rock’s surface .


Pitttooo


It’s a little slippery .


The ground here is also pretty uneven .


The ash-like sand is scattered like a puddle of water .


While the rocks look like koi fishes that stand out as a monochrome .


It doesn’t look like the rocks that are lost in the snow .


As I went on, I found myself in a large open space .


[Wow…]


It’s like I’m in a large limestone cave .


As there was a swamp, I tried to get closer .


The water is tinged green .


Kopokopo,


pokopoko,


pokooooo…


Something is making the swamp bubble…


I have a feeling that this swamp is entirely made of poison .


This smell feels like they’re stabbing into my nose .


No matter how I think about it, I don’t think this water is drinkable .


If I had access to drinkable water, I’d be able to fill it in my PET bottle .


I look down towards the swamp .


[Hmm?]


I thought I had found something but… it’s just a skull .


It’s most likely a human skull .


Was there a guy who fell over the water?


However, this is also proof .


That someone came through the minotaurs and the birdheads .


There seems to be some of the other people that were disposed who struggled to survive .


I looked for the way to the next area .


[Oh…]


A gentle slope .


It’s like a spiral stairway who completely lost its color .


Or is it like crepe fabric that had been stretched thin?


In short, this was a gentle slope .


[Should I go up here . . ?]


It looks like a large limestone cave everywhere I look .


It doesn’t look like a dungeon anymore no matter how I look .


What exactly is this ruins?


Shortly after I began climbing the slope…


[This is–]


There is something that is sinking in the ground .


It’s a lot of bones .


And it’s clearly not just human bones .


Is this… monster bones?


This should be the minotaur’s bones?


And there’s also something that looks like the birdhead’s…


I took a deep breath .


Perhaps, here too…


There’s something here .


[…hmm? What’s that?]


I can hear something .


Something, like a cry–


Dooohhh, gwaaannhhhhhh!!!


A rock being crushed violently to pieces .


[Wha- What’s the heck is that!?]


I held my arm forward to protect my face .


A block of rock rolled heavily beside me .


I saw it at the end of my sight .


[…that’s huge . ]


There was a huge hole that sunk in the ground somewhere to my left in front of me .


Bechhiiinnn!!!


Footsteps .


Dorrroooo…


Pittooo, ppiiitttooo…


[This guy…]


I am looking up at a really huge sole .


With a sole this big, I can only imagine .


A head that looks like a dinosaur .


An eye socket as large as a cave .


It has sticky dark purple meat that smells rotten .


There’s a dim, orange light that runs through a line in the rotten meat .


The dim light has raised the silhouette of the sole .


The bare bones of the ribs is starting to show .


There’s some rotten meat to something that looks like the bone of its wings .


A winding pattern of half-meat, half-bone tail .


Huge pointed tails .


An extremely large body .

That thing opened it mouth .


[Hiiyooooohhhh!!!]


Some kind of skeleton type monster?


Or is it a ghoul?


Or probably this is the so-called—


[Kiiiaaaahhhhhh!!]


Dragon zombie .


Buwwwaahhhh!!!


The wind pressure of a shout .


A sour odor that pierce my nose .


[Giyyyooeee– Giyyyoo, giyoooeee- guuueehhh, guueeeehhh!!!]


Something is oozing out from its fangs .


Pota…


Pochaa…


Shuwashuwashuwa…


Is that acid?


[Fushiiiiiyuuuuaahhhhhhhh!!!]


The dragon zombie sticks out its long tongue .


It’s tongue is undulating like an earthworm moving in a fast motion .


It was clearly aiming at me .


In an instant, I feel paralyzed where I stand .


This large limestone cave-like area…


[Is this its nest?]


Then, those bones that were sunk in were the victims who were disposed .


The dragon zombie’s trash can .


I can feel it– this guy’s killing intent .


I raise my arms .


I have nothing but gratitude .


I’m thankful that’s it’s trying to kill me .


I can now, without worry,


Without hesitation,


-kill this thing .


And so, I’m grateful .


He went into the battlefield for survival himself .


The dragon zombie raises his forefoot .


Did it know that I’m paralyzed in fear?


It seems like it’s about to crush me into minced meat .


The dragon zombie’s intense appearance .


Its overwhelming impact .


When I saw it, I was certainly sweating heavily .


However, I could also feel joy springing up within me .


The new monster, Dragon Zombie’s EXP


[]


pikkkyyyiii~


piisshhhiiiii~


[Gi– !? Giihii… gyo… yo…?]


The dragon zombie’s front leg stop, raised in mid air .


[]


v


[It’s about time…]


The first gauge is almost depleted .


[]


A blue gauge appears .


After a while, the yellow gauge disappeared .


Doshhhaaaa!!!


The paralyzed dragon zombie fell down where he stands .


It looks like its legs were broken and could no longer support its weight .


The gravity generated abruptly crushed its previously intense appearance .


It’s eye socket is hollow and it’s difficult for me to understand what it thinks .


[It seems to be asleep . ]


I sat down in a cross-legged position .


In front of the huge dragon’s head .


The dragon’s bone changing its color


It’s now turning from white to purple .


Abnormal State Skill .


It seems it also works well for the so-called Undead type monsters .


[Zuuu… zuuuu… . ]


Is it really sleeping?


A sour odor .


The odor of rotten meat .


This greenish part should be— moss, huh .


There is no sign of it waking up .


Well, all I have to do now is wait for its death .


But I can’t let my eyes off of this .


I can’t cut the combo of paralysis and sleep .


[………]


Should I check my status for the moment?


Status Open


I check my status while paying attention to my surroundings and the gauge on top of the dragon’s head .


Lv 501


HP: +1503


MP: +12403/16533


Attack: +1503


Defense: +1503


Physical strength: +1503


Speed: +1503


Wisdom: +1503


[I’m feeling a weird dreadness from the Lv501 . ]


However, aside from my MP… are my other status values high?


I had referenced it before, but Oyamada had a Physical Strength +500 while he is Lv 1 .


Of course, not all the heroes may have “initial value x Lv” status numbers .


If that’s the case, when Oyamada becomes Lv 4, he will be overpowered .


In another point of view, the growth rate of Touka Mimori is even lower than an average person .


I’m certain that’s what that sh*tty goddess said so .

Would you become a decent pawn if your level had risen dramatically? That might be possible .


[And if it’s so…]


It may be better if I don’t put much emphasis on the correction values aside from MP .


What’s important for me now is my reflexes .


The ability to activate my skill before the enemy is able to take action .


It’s also necessary that I’m able to react to sudden surprise attacks .


So if I can’t rely on the status correction here–


I would need to polish my own reflexes .


Well, I think I could train myself while I’m fighting on this ruins .


[And, the MP that has decreased–]


It’s the amount that I’ve put in the leather bag and I’ve used for the dragon zombie . .


I don’t think I should be concerned with my remaining MP .


This amount should be enough .


As for my skills…


MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting>


MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting>


MP-consumption 10 / Multi-Target Casting>


The multi-targeting ability is now available for all of my skills .


It also displays the MP consumed for every cast .


I see, if I level up, I can see that even the performance will increase .


[Though I say that…]


I put my hand over my mouth .


The MP consumption doesn’t change even if my level rises .


In terms of success rate and the duration of the current hundreds of casts…


[I would say it’s an extraordinary performance . ]


I can’t help but blurt it out .


E-Rank Hero .


The lowest rank .


[Is this really the skill of someone from the lowest…?]


Before being transferred to this place, I remember that Kirihara has questioned why the grade is in the alphabet .


[Well . But why is S the best?]


The goddess has replied,


[Because S stands for “Special” . ]


The alphabet grades that fit in our world .


[…english words . ]


My abnormal state skill .


If E is at the bottom, its performance is rather too great .


[Like for example…]


I had an abrupt thought .


It’s just a hypothesis .


I have no backing evidence .


It’s all just pure thought .


But what if E alone was different from the other grades?


A special meaning .


An extraordinary meaning .


An exceptional meaning .


In other words, it may also not mean the “failure group” .


The english words that have the initial E .


EXTRA


[It’d be outrageous if the acronym of E-Rank’s E is for Extra…]
