Next up later...4-8 hours. Also cliffhanger. Literally. Title is totally not obvious.

Year 7444, Month 5, Day 25

1. First off they start by doing something to reduce the number by even one. This is fine even if it's a coincidence.

1. First start off by somehow reducing their numbers my one. This is fine as a coincidence.

3. Use a crossbow and watch out for the chance during combat..

..Rejected. {Invisibility} is a spell I wouldn't even know if I hadn't heard about it from Karl. I can't imagine there are many people who can use it. There's also the problem of the duration and their equipment.

C.

2. After that..

..How are they going to meet them in the dungeon. It's impossible. Rejected.

D.

2. That person looks for the chance and shoots a bolt from a crossbow at them.

..It seems difficult but it's probably not completely impossible. It doesn't have to be a bolt but magic is fine as well. After killing them if you pretend to be the first one to discover their corpse and point to a bolt nearby it could work. On hold.

E.

2. Split the party into multiple groups, while they're in combat aim or guys who are spacing out they aim for with a crossbow and kill with a bolt. It would require a considerably high level of skill.

1. There's a method of using the teleport crystal rod that I, no, that isn't commonly known. For example if you chant the same incantation as the previous party you can teleport to the same location...Since there's supposedly people that have tried this that shouldn't be the case but there might be some method that isn't known.

I'm sure the probability is low. For the time being, On hold.

G.

1. One of the attackers can use some kind of spell that can determine the location of the target.

It's about the same as B. {Locate Object} or {Locate Mammal} I guess..For the most part it's pretty unlikely. Rejected.

The one's to take into consideration as a possibility are from D to G but F and G..I wonder about them. It's pointless to even start thinking about in the case that it's one or both of those. Particularly F. In this case, they would have a method to send a large scale unit into a single area of the dungeon so it would be unnatural for it not to be known. Ah, I guess it's pretty meaningless if they can't use it past the 2nd floor huh? If it's just a matter of clearing through the 1st floor then 10 soldiers would have no problem after all.

Well it's fine. I should think if there's any other methods in regards to D and E.

It's about time for my running to end.

..........

I have breakfast together with everyone the same as usual while concentrating my thoughts. It should be fine to ignore G and H on this occasion. There's not much meaning in just thinking about it. The one with the highest probability is probably E. I'm sure it could go even in combination with D. In the case that it's combined with D, it would take several months to get close to them or sneak someone in but it's not something that can't be done. In that case, if the attackers were alone or few in number then the reason might be related to a grudge as well, in the case it's also a mix with E..I can't abandon the possibility that it's related to a grudge but there's also the possibility that it's a, job, as well. Of course, even if they're alone it's possible it's a job.

"What is it? Making such a complicated face. Did something happen?"

I guess it's because I was making a frown while thinking and not really participating in the conversation.

We're entering the dungeon again starting today. I wonder if Rokis was able to get his hands on some slaves? Just past noon the other day, from a glance I could see them doing cooperation training in a vacant lot on the edge of town but there was five of them. However, I haven't seen them since yesterday. I'm sure they got their hands on some. I wonder if they're entering the dungeon yesterday and today? I wonder if they noticed that they're being targeted? Well even if they have realized if they don't enter the dungeon they can't earn anything. Since it's easy to tell sooner or later they'll curl their tails up and run home, if they don't want to return home then there's no choice but to enter though.

Just like usual we smoothly cleared through the 1st and 2 floors, we took slightly early lunch in the teleport room on that 2nd floor. Next to all the guys that are chewing away at dried meat and preserved foods we're crunching away at a cabbage, spinach, and garlic stir-fry with salt and pepper seasoning while biting into chunks of pork in a delicious meat soup. We took a two hour break to regain our energy while being looked at with stares of envy and teleported to the 3rd floor.

We crushed the first monster room and cleared through the second one with no problem either. On the third room there were four {Cave Gorillas} so we struggled a bit but we were able to wipe them out without any injuries. And we charged into the fourth room.

It was something we already knew before we entered the room but this is a room with something like torture devices. A bed with something like handcuffs and shackles on it, an {Iron Maiden}, a pitchfork, some pliers with spines on them, a wooden horse made from metal, some crosses and other devices for waterboarding, some of the wooden parts seem to have degraded a bit but large devices are scattered throughout the room. We've never tried entering a monster room of this type until now.

But, the moment we entered the room and just in case I was taking a look around it happened. There were six passages that lead into the room but all of those exits suddenly had some kind of metal cage fall down sealing us in the room!

The only ones who made it into the room were Zulu, myself, Gwine, and Toris us four. The remaining five are still outside of the room. I ran up to the iron bars but let alone Zulu, I can't even open it with my strength. This is bad, we were split up! It was only a brief moment that I thought that, Bel and the others who were outside were yelling warnings.

We turned around in a panic and I caught sight of a large silhouette raising from the bed approaching over here. It's height easily exceeded two meters, close to two and a half. Before I even said anything Zulu and Toris fortified the front while Gwine went on guard with her spear. I went into stance with my bayonet while,

"We'll meet the enemy a bit closer to the center. It's difficult for Bel to support us."

said that and had Toris and Zulu charge forward.

The silhouette is closing in on us with large steps. If I look closely it has something like surgical scars and incisions all over it's body and it's skin is like patchwork. The thickness of it's right and left hands, and right and left legs are slightly different and the length of it's right and left hands are slightly different as well. {Frankenstein} huh? It's wearing pants that are close to a worn-out cloth and while it's wearing something similar to a shirt only a small port of it is remaining so it's almost useless in terms of defense. It's basically one step above being naked.

【Male/4/4/7444 · Flesh Golem】

【Age: 0 Years Old】

【HP: 313(313) MP: 20(20)】

【Agility: 20】

【Endurance: 100】

【Special skill: Magic Resistance 100】

This is no good, this guy is the dangerous type. In the first place, he's still unharmed but his condition is incisions what in the world?

"Everyone disperse!"

I give the order and start kneading my mana. He has a special skill called Magic Resistance but putting aside fire or wind, something with substance like an ice or stone spear should have an effect. I created some ice in {Frankenstein}'s surroundings. After all it was pointless huh? In the first place, I was intending to freeze his entire body but the moment all of the water that gushed forth touched {Frankenstein}'s feet it disappeared and the magic seems to have failed partway. So Ice is no good huh? In that case.

"{Stone Javelin Missile}"

Since it seems dangerous I sent five of them flying. {Frankenstein} clenched both of his fists and raised them above and then crouched down as if he was going to smash them into the ground all at once. What is he doing, this idiot? Before his fists can reach the ground my stone javelins will reach his head and his open back.

This will do a lot of damage!

The moment I thought that the stone spears disappeared without a sound the moment they hit.

What?!?

"Master!!"

Angela's yell echoed at as she had both of her hands on the iron bars.

His hands hit the floor. Sparks are shot off between his two fists and in an instant that followed along the ground until it reached me.

This is!...n't bad.

The electricity passed by my feet and hit the wall behind me then went in a different direction.

Ah, it's the rubber-sole boots huh? Excluding Giberuti we're all using boots that have rubber soles.

I guess we should be fine as long as it doesn't use something like {Lightning Bolt} that shoots through the air?

Zulu who was about 5 meters to the front of me on the right jumped over the wooden horse and charged at it with his bastard sword while letting out a battle cry. On my left side about 7-8 meters away Gwine is taking the pin out of her bag and dropping it on the floor  before going on guard again with her spear. A bit to the left of that Toris has already thrown his bag down while holding his long sword in his right hand is charging along with Zulu.

I can't fall behind them. I throw away my bag as well and prepare my bayonet then dashed towards {Frankenstein} at my full speed.

Along the way an arrow hit {Frankenstein} in the head. It's reinforcements from Bel. That's helpful. His HP dropped to 310.

There's only that much damage even though it hit his head!?

I saw Zulu jump in as he swings his bastard sword from the right side of my vision.

{Frankenstein} raised it's left arm and blocked that. Zulu's sword sunk about halfway into it's left forearm. It's HP dropped to 301.

Toris ran int and started cutting at {Frankenstein} from the left.

Just the same as {Frankenstein} blocked Zulu's attack it blocked it with it's right arm. HP 296.

I overtook Gwine and while both of {Frankenstein}'s arms were sealed I stabbed into the right side of it's stomach with my bayonet then used all of my power to pull it out towards the right side. Something like entrails came out of the wound. HP 284.

Almost simultaneously Gwine's spear was thrust into the center of it's chest and immediately pulled out. HP 277.

I went to roll through the space between Zulu and it's left arm where Zulu's ken was still stuck.

However, of all things! {Frankenstein} forcefully waved it's left arm to the inside! Of course while Zulu was still holding on to his sword! Even after Zulu was thrown into me he still had hold on his sword. In my case since I was hit by Zulu's body I ended up falling to one knee collapsing on the ground. I don't know what happened to Toris.

Shit!

I quickly corrected my posture and using the force of standing up a hit Franken (it's annoying to say) with my gun-stock in the jaw. HP 275.

And, then Franken's HP started to drop quickly. HP 270, 265, 259, 253, 248.

It seems that Toris is cutting away at it's back. I guess it was a blessing that he doesn't have as much strength as Zulu, Toris was able to pull his sword out right away.

I quickly jumped backwards while maintaining some distance and simultaneously ordered Zulu.

"Zulu, use it!"

In exchange for replying to me Zulu let out a tremendous war cry of gogaaa~~!!!! while cutting in at a high speed. HP 228, 210, it seems he cut it's left arm off from below the elbow. Even then Zulu's gale-like attacks continue. However, it's blocking all of Zulu's attacks with the remainder of it's left arm. 208, 205, 203. The left arm Frank was using to block Zulu's attacks is all worn-out. Unfortunately he wasn't able to do much damage at all along the way. It's probably because there's almost no HP remaining in his left arm.

I charge in a bit late and stab, cut, twist, kick, and smash it as well.

""Zulu-sama!!""

I couldn't hear Bel's voice but she's probably firing the bow. We can't rely on Zulu's Instant Speed anymore. I dodge the fists that was returning and this time focused my attacks on it's left left.

"Aaah!!"

Gwine's voice rings out. Her spear was grabbed and thrown away. Gwine runs towards the direction her spear was thrown in a panic.

Someone fired a {Fire Arrow} into Franken's face but jsut the same as the stone javelin it disappeared. It was probably Ralpha.

I cut into it's left inner thigh and thin cut while pulling out and jumping backwards. HP 149.

HP 144, 138. It's Toris's attack. I guess it's started to annoy him but after I took a bit of distance Franken turned around to face Toris.

Hn? Special Skill: Magic Resistance 93 , it seems it's not an invincible barrier against magic. However, I would have to hit it with magic another 93 times huh? I think that number is probably the number of times it can resist but there's no time to leisurely be opening the sub-window.

This time I start attacking it from behind like Toris did. There's a number of deep cut wounds on it's back.

"oooh~!!"

I put some fighting spirit into it as I stab in with my bayonet and kick off to pull it out. HP 130. I don't know if I was able to crumble it's posture a bit but it's attack with it's right arm missed Toris. An arrow stabbed into it's left shoulder. HP 128.

Once again with bayonet, this time I stab into the back side of it's right leg, twist it out, and cut into it. HP 120, 118, 110. Shit it's movements don't get any duller at all. Frank swings it's right arm down towards me as I'm attacking it from behind and misses. Another arrow stabs into it's upper arm. HP 108.

It continues swinging it's right arm without paying any attention to the arrow. I heard a sound like Goshi~!! and Toris went flying but stopped just before he hit the wall of the room.

"You-chan!!"

""Kalstalan-sama!!""

I can hear multiple screams from the other side of the iron bars.

It seems Toris let go of his sword but he's still breathing and desperately trying to stand up.

"Yaaaa~!!"

Around the left side of it's back ribs Gwine's spear stabs into it. So she already made it back? That's admirable of you. HP 100. Franken didn't make the foolish mistake of following after Toris and turned around to me. With Gwine's spear still stabbed into it. I guess Gwine couldn't pull her spear out. That spear just barely spun over top of my head. Th..that was dangerous~

It's arm swings down aimed at me. It's not a good idea to think about taking it on. I'm sure I'll just end up being smashed away like Toris. I succeeded in dodging with a hair's breadth.

However, my posture collapsed. If it goes like this then I might take the back of it's fist on it's way back.

Ei~ it can't be helped. I use wind magic to create a lump of air between Franken and myself. In an instant I was blown backwards. As expected I saw Franken fall over in a somersault. Thanks to my rubber protectors I didn't suffer any injuries from the stone floor but it still hurts. I saw Zulu stand up using his sword as a cane in the edge of my sight. I use Identify on Toris and he still has about 30% of his HP remaining but his condition is bone fracture. From a glance his left hand from the elbow below are bent in the reverse direction and his left leg is strange as well.

This is bad! If his leg is broken then he can't move. I quickly jumped up and after preparing my bayonet I charged at Franken again. I returned Identify to Franken as well.

"Nuaaaa~!!"

I naturally raised a groan. I showed as if I was going to stab into it but used wind magic to my immediate left to shift the position of my body. Soon after that I used wind magic against my back to suddenly accelerate. Since I'm not using the palms of my hands to activate the magic, the mana efficiency falls a bit and it requires some concentration but I practice daily for cases like this.

It's a sudden acceleration that feels like my bones are creaking but my bayonet was magnificently able to stab through it's chest with full momentum. HP 85. I quickly twisted my body and with all my power kicked off while pulling it out. Franken staggered back two or three steps but quickly gained it's balance again. It fixed it's stance as well. It's coming to attack me while swinging it's right arm and the remnants of it's left arm.

I dodge with a paper-thin difference and thrust my bayonet in, then pull it out while mowing it down, I move around while holding it in check.


Wind magic..It's impossible huh?
