Moving Forward
The exploration after defeating the mid-boss was relatively easy . The frequency of horse-man sightings had decreased and the number of times when they called for back up and chased us down are less too . The fire in the downtown might have burned them down . The mid-boss was on a rampage without regard to other horse-men .
Still, it took about one day to get into the boss's room . In the dungeon, the higher the floor, the wider is the floor . Recently, it took about the whole day to explore the dungeon . Rather, it is considered early to get into the boss room in just one day .
Rosalia’s injuries have fully recovered and the other members are in good shape . From now on, compared to the previous bosses, the bosses that we are going to counter are way up on another level .
We pull the chain to elevate the big and heavy gate . Using the <
The moment the gate is open, numerous knight horsemen appear into our sight . There are about 400 of them . They form into an orderly formation and showing their prowess . I knew their numbers in advance from using <
Behind the horseman knights, there is a horseman standing in the balcony of the castle . The horseman wears a glittering red cloak and ornaments studded with gold and jewels . He seems to be the horseman emperor .
“That is the horseman emperor . “
“Why, is that not their king?” said Neme .
Hmm… How could we bear with Neme’s silly retort? We really have to watch over her .
The horseman emperor puts his right hand near his mouth and starts to whistle . Afterward, a huge monster appears from the sky due to the sound . The sight of the monster makes me more dispirited .

“Is that a dragon…?”
A deathly red dragon, with sharp fangs and giant wings . No matter how you look at it, it is a first-class dragon that descends from the sky . It is pretty huge . That giant is a dozen times bigger than all of us . It is large enough to occupy a part of the castle .
The dragon lands below the balcony . The moment it lands, the tiles underneath are broken and parts of the castle get destroyed by its tail . I feel the concept of the level is so absurd . The scale is totally different from the horseman .
The horseman emperor nods with satisfaction at the arrival of the dragon . It jumps over the fence of the balcony and lands on the dragon’s neck . The horseman emperor sits on a saddle that is tied to the dragon’s neck and swings a spear with a flag attached to it .
To use a dragon like that…
Naturally I try to get a hold of myself .
At the signal of the horseman emperor, the dragon opens wide its mouth .
“<
Immediately after Rosalia unleashed the spell, the horseman knights in front of the dragon are blown away .
GRRRRRR! The dragon roars .
Rosalia’s spell block the shockwave . It was a close call .
The hordes of horseman knights are scattered and no longer capable to fight as soldiers . But why are they standing right in front of the dragon in the first place? I am amazed by the spectacle . The enemies are careless to this degree .

All of the Arrivers are ready for battle . A huge torrent of magic starts to come from Erin .
“<
A ring of blue lights spreads out from her magic staff . The area inside the light blue ring is under Erin’s control . The horseman knights in the surrounding area get frozen . The dragon has already taken off to avoid direct hit but its not fast enough . Its left wing gets frozen from the attack . Perhaps, because the dragon keeps trying to move the frozen wing by force, the wing gets broke from the base . The dragon, as well as the horseman emperor, fall into the ground .
Erin has prepared the spell since before we challenge the boss . Because we are not in the boss's room yet, it is safe to elaborate more magical power . So, she prepares the spell and shoots as soon as we enter the boss room . This is Erin’s winning strategy . Being attack seriously by a magician who aims to be number one, the enemies endure serious damage . After this, it’s the end .
Its not as dangerous as the situation with the mid-boss .
“Constant recovery <

Neme is casting buff spells one after another . Every time she finished a spell, my body is getting hotter . Maybe, from now on, I feel like I can do anything . Even if I don’t have any skill, Neme’s buff spells bust my confident level .

“Jin, leave it to me . ” After saying this, Force moves forward . He held a sword in a black sheath, one of the two swords that he usually carries . This is the first time Force uses that sword . In our past exploration, He has only been using a silver sword with white sheath, the ‘Kouhaku’ . Using a sword that he does not usually use to fight a high-level boss means that he is serious .
“Neme, if it looks like I become dangerous, it is okay to forcibly cast <
I am confused because I cannot understand the meaning of Force’s instruction . Erin approaches me with her magic .
“Note, is this the first time you see Force fighting with Purgatory?
“What is that?”
“The name of that sword”
---It’s hell .
While I repeat that name in my heart, I look back at that sword . Certainly, a sword worth of its name . A red blade and black pattern on the handle . It’s so beautiful that even if I don’t know anything about a sword, I will fall in love with it .
Kouhaku was also a beautiful sword, but Purgatory has a different charm . Kouhaku is clear and transparent but the other is the opposite . It is a decadent beauty that cannot be expressed, pure chaos .
Force’s body is burning with black flame as he held Purgatory . His shoulders, back, and arms, are burning . I swallow my breath at the sight . Erin begins explaining to ease my surprise .
“Purgatory is a cursed sword that burns the user with a black flame . It was said that no one has survived after swinging the sword . ”
“Isn’t that bad? Then Force…”
“Please rest assure . Force has survived many times with that sword . ”
Erin’s absurd reasoning makes me feel disappointed .
“Did you forget about Force’s other skill? He has <
“I see . There is a way to use a skill like that . ”
“Yes . I was surprised when I first heard it . But it was really surprising . Force fighting with Purgatory is an inhuman level . ” Erin said while biting her lips .
“With skill <
“The strongest swordsman in this world . ”
The phrase is resonated inside my mind . In front of my eyes, Force is launching a verbal attack with Purgatory toward the dragon and starting to yell .
“I’m going, emperor! I have no grudge but I have to defeat you . We are going ahead!"
The black flame still burns Force’s body and continues to erode .
“You may not be able to understand what I’m saying . But I will make you remember that my name is Force Grands . The leader of the Arrivers and the first man in the world who conquer the dungeon!”
Three minutes after he uttered these words, he slaughters the dragon .
