Chapter 35. The 4th Floor - Re-Challenge (2)

We descended to the 3rd floor, and this time we gave Yuzuki experience to level up.

Yuzuki, who grew from level 4 to level 5, acquired [Magic Power Up (+2)], which is a higher skill than [Magic Power Up (+1)].

Yuzuki's magical power was further get boosted.

Remaining skill points: 0

And then we finally reached the 4th floor.

We descended the spiral staircase in a circular motion and came to the place of victory.

Yuzuki shivered as we proceeded with the search for the 4th floor.

"Ugh, I'm getting a warrior's tremor. If I get hit, pick my bones."

"Don't worry. It's not that bad. Even if it's just Kodachi-san and I won one battle."

"But I didn't feel I could complete the [Attack]. But this time, Hotaru-chan joined us. Rikusou-san and I are stronger than we were back then. It's a revenge match."

"Oh! Revenge match! Goblin shaman, prepare yourself!"

"No, you have nothing to do with the revenge."

"Yes, I do."

As we proceeded through the 4th floor, Kodachi-san reacted with a twitch, not knowing whether to be nervous or not.

"───They are coming, four of them!"

In response to that voice, Yuzuki and I prepared ourselves, and then a group of monsters appeared from the end of the cave.

It was the same group of monsters that Kodachi-san and I had fought on the 4th floor before.

That is one goblin, one hobgoblin, one goblin archer, and one goblin shaman.

The goblins and hobgoblins were in the vanguard, and the goblin archer and goblin shaman were in the rear.

The goblin archer was shooting arrows with its bow, and the goblin shaman began to wear a red shine glow.

On our side, Kodachi-san and Yuzuki were wearing green and red shine, respectively.

"───Oooooohhhh!"

I run with my spear and shield at the ready.

The only ones coming at me are one goblin and one hobgoblin each.

But before they can engage me.

"With this one blow... [Wind Slash]!

"I'm going to kill them... [Fire Bolt]!"

Kodachi-san and Yuzuki activate their attack magic.

Perhaps Kodachi-san's [Presence Detection] helped her to prepare her attack because it was slightly faster than the enemy's attack.

Kodachi-san's wind blade hit the goblin archer, and Yuzuki's flaming bullet hit the goblin shaman.

After a moment, the two disappeared in a black haze.

"We did it! That is our power!"

I hear Yuzuki's happy voice.

It was indeed a great victory.

Goblin shamans have higher durability and magic defense than ordinary goblins and archers.

It's a big deal because they can kill it with a single blow.

On the other hand, I begin to engage the goblins and hobgoblins.

First, I thrust my spear toward the goblin and killed it with a single blow.

The hobgoblin attacked me in the gap, and I defended myself with my shield.

The hobgoblin's heavy attack couldn't get blocked with my wood shield alone. But the remaining slight impact force was absorbed by the leather helm and my defense.

It seems that 'Endurance' one of the seeker's stats, affects not only HP but also physical defense - is a hypothesis by a verification team posted on the Internet.

Then, Kodachi-san slid into the room at a furious speed.

With a body slam, she embedded her two daggers into the hobgoblin's chest, and the hobgoblin instantly disappeared, becoming a magical stone.

We annihilate the four monsters.

I breathe a sigh of relief.

No one on my side suffered a single effective blow, a complete victory.

A perfect result.

Yuzuki ran up to me, and the three of us high-fived each other.

"""Yay!"""

They clap their hands together, clapping even more.

As expected of the youths, they have gotten used to the hand touch.

"It was a complete victory." 

"That's right. It's a huge difference from the last time we fought."

"Fufufufu. After all, my existence has come to life. With this Lethal Weapon, Hotaru-chan, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Oh, well done, Yuzuki. Great job."

"Yes, yes, good girl, good girl!"

"What, I didn't expect two people to do it! I'm not sure what to say."

Kodachi-san and I patted Yuzuki as a two-person team.

Yuzuki, who gets treated like a pet, rolled her eyes and became dizzy.

And so, our first battle on the 4th floor ended in a great victory.

Our dive proceeded smoothly, and our explored area of the 4th-floor map was get expanded.

By the way, the shape of this map is listed on the net.

I don't care about the shape of the map, and I don't think there is much benefit in taking the shortest route and taking a shortcut.

I think the best way is to advance on your own, step by step while gaining strength.

As we continued our search on the 4th floor, Yuzuki's level rose by one.

Yuzuki showed me her list of skills she could acquire and asked me a question.
