The next day, everyone woke up after hearing my stomach rumble. It looks like they started to consider my stomach as some sort of alarm clock.

La VeilIts morningits timetowakeup

Muhhaaahgood morning Arena. Master too, good morning

Hai, good morning. What are we having for breakfast?

Arena wakes up La Veil who was rolled like a bagworm in her sleeping bag. After shaking her head a bit and stretching, then yawning, she greeted us. The other kids were also rubbing their eyes and yawning as I brought them together with Ashia.

Ashia, as of today, we will be exploring the 20th floor which is full of traps, so dont rush. We will be moving slowly, step by step, so be sure to share with everyone what you know about this place

Un, I will call to proceed when I can confirm that everything is alright

Our high fighting power wont be that much helpful on this floor. I also dont want to needlessly use Fairy Magic because it would also cause a huge burden on me when in this dungeon. The time we have spent in this dungeon should be around a week now. It wont really be a problem if we started to slow down our pace starting at this point.

On our way to this point, we have also encountered several traps in various areas, but most of them were based on the terrain so it was easy to spot. On the other hand, the structure of this place is very plain with similar arrangement of stone blocks in a regular manner, so detecting common traps was a bit hard to do. We could only rely on the children.

The moment we entered the 20th floor, we were greeted with a place that is made out of stone blocks with narrow roads and a lot of intersections. A trap infested maze. It also seemed like the entrance was moved so we dont have any other way back. Isnt this floor a little too high leveled all of a sudden?

And then,

Black Scorpions which were about half my size flooded this place in large numbers, coming out from all of the paths of the intersections. I wanted to erase them, but this is inside a dungeon. Their color and the way they move make me think of something which I wouldnt ever want to see. Adding to that their poisonous tail will be problematic if they hit you. I have to make sure that something like that never happens.

I could feel cold sweat running down my spine

If its only this much, can I incinerate them with fire

Hey, calm down, what are you trying to do!?

What are you planning to do Aidle!?

Something like this. Wait, this wallprevents usage of magic? Ah, this is bad

Although we were following a straight road, it suddenly became very dangerous as we were being flooded by enemies along with lots of traps hindering our movement. That being the situation, we gathered the children and surrounded them. As for Fairy Magicit was usable. It seems like only magic usage is completely blocked on this floor. I guess it cant be helped if its like this.

Alright, I will be in charge of the right, so can I leave the left side to you La Veil?

Master, if I transform for a bit, I would be able to block all sides as we move. Their attacks wont do anything to me

Are you ok with that? Cielo will know, right?

Eh?

It cant be helped. This is an emergency situation after all

And so, with Aidles fairy magic and removing her earrings along with some cracking sounds theInhibit Recognition was also removed.

After watching the situation, La Veils real status was then reflected onto Cielos eyes.

That, no wayAncient Red Dragon?

Hmm

La Veil then transformed into her original form and almost completely blocked off the passage. All approaching Tyrant Scorpions targeted her but their attacks were easily blocked by her dragon scales. The first to attack were then crushed by the next wave of scorpions.

And of course, the children were frightened by the sudden appearance of the red dragon,

Alright children!! Leave this to us and continue moving forward!!!

Even so, with La Veil backing them, the children nodded and followed after her while disabling traps that remained. Yosh, this should be alright for now.

Arena, I will take the front this time, so I ask you to grasp the whole area using S. A. T. Mode, support me if you find it necessary. Mika, Ill leave my back to you. Activate your Holy Sword if needed

Got it!Leave this to me

All right. Dont overdo it Aidle?

Un, and then CieloPoi!

Aiya

I sent a light chop to Cielo who was still stunned staring at La Veil.

I know that you have a lot of things you wanted to hear about, but do that later when we get out of this place. Please help with healing if Mika is injured, Okay?

Hai, Ill be alright. I will do it right!

Alright. Then lets proceed with this defensive battle

I finally pulled out my sword after a long while and started moving on in the passage. Scorpions also tried to assault me, however I smacked each and every one of them that approached me like a batter hitting a baseball.

Home Run!!

*Gyakiiiiiiin!!!

My attacks were like the full swing of a bat. Receiving the full force of the magic swords flat area, their heads were crushed and sent straight back into the crowd of Tyrant Scorpions. Sending them flying was nice, however there were still more of the crowd waiting behind and they rustled straight into us. My status was back in its original state as I tried fighting properly this time

Its been a while since Ive been in a troublesome situation like this!

Gyiii!!

Sword slashes were not my only means of attack. First, pick a target, kick its tail and split its head, second, a flash strike to the side, then third was kicking the corpse back to the horde. Fourth was jumping around dodging then splitting the target into two with my sword!!

Arena!! Mika!!

Hoi, hoi!

Mika and Arena dealt with others that were crawling on the walls. Arena was precisely slashing them with her dagger aiming at their joints, leaving behind paralyzed convulsing victims.

Leave the rest to me, activate Holy Sword!!

Mika also activated her Holy Sword which raised her status 10 times. She easily dissected the scorpions that survived, finishing them off. With Mika around, the childrens defenses were perfect.

This random block is a switch that activates if stepped on. We just need to put a stone in order to activate it. Where does the magical power come from though?

UmmmIsnt it from that. There are stones with higher concentration of magical power

Ill take them off then

Wait, theres an arrow trap next to it. Because the magic circle is weak and smaller, we should erase that first

Next isA big ball trap isnt it. Theres also one that makes the road a slope. This one seems to activate if a certain amount of weight is in place

Using a knife, we could deactivate it by sticking it in the trigger. We could also not activate if we pass by one person at a time

The children continued studying traps as we moved. Everyone combined their knowledge and experience, teaching each other with great attention. Behind us, I could still hear the continuous battles and if I didnt move soon, that might have continued forever.

They did give us some delicious food(experience) though. We were here for only a few days but its been a lot of fun. I have also heard some really interesting stories. There was no way a single person would make it to this place using only their wisdom alone. Even the heroes didnt break through this area at the time they explored. Its one more reason why we want to get out of this place and reach the next level.

When a clear path was created for them, the children acted quickly.

It should be about timeis everyone getting tired now. Its a relief that our weapons are strong enough to last though

The continuous battle was about to reach three hours now. Ive been monitoring them for almost a week now, and it wouldnt be strange if someone starts to break down at any moment. Normal adventures receiving that endless onslaught would have given up in just several minutes. Well, I am doing my best to not let anything pass by so its still alright.

Aidle!! Ill take over!!

Un, please do!!

I tagged out and let Mika replace me as I went to the back. Ah, its been a while since Ive done an endless battle like this.

Aidle, are you alright?

Im fine. Are you not tired yet, Arena?

I am still fine. Hora, come over here

Hyo, I received a hug. UwahIm being healedIm still in battle mode, but my head feels like its going to melt.

Wait a bit!! Dont just go and start flirting over there!?

Oh, sorry, sorry. Ill also be switching again in a bit

Mika who still isnt used to endless battles is already dropping out, though it wasnt really that long yet. After tagging out again, I continued my endless massacre of scorpions again. I havent really confirmed the actual body count but it should have already reached 4 digits by now. If this doesnt end soon, Im afraid that wed get buried in dead bodies instead.

As I was thinking about what our next move would beNn, whats that?

I could finally see an opening from the back. Has the endless flow finally stopped? After defeating the remaining scorpions, a long silence finally arrived after a long time of fighting.

Is it finally over?

I wonderArena, did you hear any level up notice?

ummm, nope, didnt

Then the battle mode is still up

Experience points would only pop up after a match is over. It would have been impossible otherwise for Mika and Arena to not level up after defeating that large amount of monsters.

Is there something else incoming?

Cielo grabbed Mikas arm and showed a concerned face. She seems to be exhausted already. I guess, she was really tense this whole time after all. Oh,

It looks like the next batch is about to arriveAnd there seems to be different monsters

Steel colored scorpionsand wait, arent they a bit too strong? My base attack could barely penetrate its defense. Not to mention that they are also about the same amount as the previous one.

Uwah, this has to be a joke

No

Hey, its not the time to show despair yet you know. Mika still had a higher status than those things

That, thats, I know, but that number is just impossible!?

I wonder

Ive been worried about my sword doing its best until now, but it would be impossible to use it this timeI wonder if I could use that instead? Alright, lets give it a try. The children havent collected all of them yet anyway.

Its too early to give up yet. Lets go with delaying tactics this time and not continuous annihilation. If they are blocked by corpses, they wont be able to move easily

Well though the strategy is a bit different, its still the same in a way.

Master

I then heard La Veil communicating to me directly

Whats up? Are you reaching your limit?

No, thats not it. I noticed earlier that something is wrong with Masters sword

Something wrong?Hmm?

What is ithmmm, wait, didnt it look like it molted? This sword originally had a more earth like color, but now its a bit fleshy colored instead as if covered by some sort of skin. Its also pulsatingis what I felt. I didnt really notice it until mentioned.

I guess I have to let it peel off some more. Were about to resume the battle anyway

Your guts is too strong

I dont know about that. However, Im more curious about whats going to happen to it.

Soryaa!!

When I slashed it to the ground with all my power, the skin-like coating broke off, and then a blade with a dull white color was revealed.

Aidle, whats that?

Arena who was curious came closer to look. Im not really sure myself. Id like Mika to appraise it, but right now is not the time since the enemy is already close.

Gishaaa!!

They have more momentum than the previous batch. Their statuses are also much higher,

Take that!! Ooh!?

Swinging my new sword at the first metal scorpion that arrived, it was sliced like tofu, without any resistance at all. Did it get sharper after molting? Thats really convenient. Well, this just makes the battle much easier.

Mika who probably used appraisal from a distance away was shocked, but because the cries of the scorpions were too loud, I was not able to hear it.

Alright! Its round 2 everyone!
