Chapter 23 - Finally, We Have Become Stronger In The Underground Dungeon! Evil Dragon Subjugation! Part 2
|Precautions|
The novel, the comic and the web novel follow different routes. It is no exaggeration to say that the novel, despite having the same base, is a completely different story.
If you know the manga or novel of this story, please understand, and enjoy it as a completely different read. Since the route is different, the ending will also be different.
the strongest villager in the world.
The moment I said those words- Amantas fingernails grew out.
It was similar to a cat baring her claws, in other words, she entered a combat ready state.
I noticed a purple liquid dripped down from her nails, and so I let out a bitter smile.
I see. Instead of a dragon, youre more like a poisonous snake. But Evil Dragon sounds more intimidating, so youre that kind of existence, huh?
A droplet falls onto the ground.
The grass within its radius of a few meters dried up, Amanta had let out a gleeful laugh.
Ufufu. Hey, hey big brother? Big brother? On a beautiful rose is a sharp thorn, yknow?.
Rather than a rose You look more like a carnivorous plant. If one gets too close, one could get hurt, so if I can help it, I wouldnt want to touch you.
Actually, she looked like a ten year old gothic lolita.
If you touched her in modern Japan, youd have the police knocking at your door.
At this point, Amanta laughed again.
Confirming Cordelias safety behind me, I gave out a happy smile.
Hey, hey, big brother? Big brother?
What?
You know big sister? You know big sister?
So what?
said she had a person she liked! Hey, hey, big brother? Big brother?
What?
Could it be? Could it be? The one big sister likes is big bro -
Instant acceleration.
The opponent was a loli, but thats only going by the appearance.
She was in fact a loli-baba.
In other words, as expected, she was annoying.
Unsheathing my sword from my back, I slashed down onto Amantas head.
Kyahaha~! Kyahahaha~!
Amanta laughed as though she was having fun and avoids my sword.
Hey, hey, big brother? Big brother? Where did you get this sword? Where did you get it?
She looked like a really clumsy kid.
First a kick towards my lower half.
I backstepped in order to dodge, but she quickly closed the distance.
Next she sent a kick towards my head- as a feint, and turned it into a kick towards my abdomen half way through.
Brazilian kick.
Arent you quite capable Blonde gothic loli.
Goof!
I got hit on my flank.
My internal organs tremble due to the shock, I couldnt joke about this.
Skill: Indomitability activated.
Without falling, I somehow managed to return a wide swing towards Amanta.
And then, just as my sword slash was completed, Amanta elegantly showed an effortless smile.
Hey, hey, big brother? Big brother? That sword, maybe Is a really rare sword, right? Its a strong sword, right? Isnt that a sword a veteran hero should be wielding? Isnt it?
Amanta continued as she easily dodges the sword slashes.
But you see, but you see? This sword seems to be a bit too much for big brother, and doesnt seem to suit you, right? Isnt that right?
Her ridiculous laughter rang through the forest.
Suddenly behind me, Cordelia took a stance with her sword herself and said.
Lute? You truly did become stronger. Well, youve become really strong. I understand that, and I feel youre at a level able to fight alongside me.
Thats, well, thanks.
I respect you. After all you to a somewhat grown hero You are pretty much on the same level as me. How a simple villager has managed to fight his way here Seriously, you as a person are
Then, Cordelia walked towards my back.
Lute? Lets do this together? If its the me right now and you right now, even if the opponent is a calamity class monster theres nothing we cant do.
When I turned around, Cordelia was laughing happily.
Well, when I think back on it I thought youd deal with it on your own though. The opponent can be counted as a calamity grade monster As expected, that would be too reck-
At that point, I shrugged my shoulders.
The two of us teaming up together for just an Evil Dragon? Why?
Eh Cordelias mouth opened.
Because I watched the battle just a while ago? Saying youll take her down alone is reckless, rather, its impossible.
I see, and I let out a smile.
You know, Cordelia?
Hmm?
After a sigh, I opened my mouth.
-In the encounter earlier I wasnt using Body Reinforcement.
Heh?
Cordelia froze.
Like I said, I didnt use Body reinforcement.
Cordelia remained frozen as though she didnt understand what I said.
What is it?
Body reinforcement is the most basic and the most powerful status enhancing skill, correct?
Yeah thats true, its the most essential skill for a close range fighter, a swordsman not using it is like a magician not using magic.
And, if you use Body reinforcement, your close combat stats double, right?
At this point, Cordelia made an irritated expression.
Im sorry, I really dont understand. Thats why What do you mean?
Well, I use a lot of other reinforcement skills. But for training, Im making it a point not to use the most basic, most obvious skill. This time, it was Body reinforcement
Cordelias face turned pale.
Well, even I know how much this diverts from common sense.
Hey, you? Are you saying that seriously?
Ah, so basically, If I get serious, Id be twice as strong as right now.
Without reading the atmosphere, Amanta rushed towards me.
Big brother? Big brother? Didnt you learn not to look away in the middle of a battle? Didnt you?
Body reinforcement activated.
Attack power, defensive power, movement ability, all of them were doubled.
Everything around me seemed to move in slow motion.
And the attack I brought out
Back fist.
Two of her front teeth were crushed, and Amanta, who couldnt react, was sent flying backwards at an alarming speed.
She crashed through a massive tree, but her momentum didnt stop.
After crashing through ten trees, destroying a lot of nature around us and being sent twenty meters back, she finally came to a halt.
Unable to believe it, Amanta puts her fingers into her own mouth.
And then, confirming the blood that flowed without stopping, she hardened.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds and then thirty seconds.
Finally recognizing the situation, Amanta who had frozen up, let out a word.
