Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest 178. Self-Destruct

Wechoohi, that's it!

I heard a brisk voice from Nicholas, who was lying on his back, along with a weird laugh.

You're in good spirits even though you should have fought back as hard as you could and beaten him to a pulp. ......

'I knew you were aweso, you're aweso. I wasn't crazy in my eyes.

Oh, yeah?

Hey!

Nicholas picks himself up.

He sits down on the ground and smiles, putting his arm on one knee where he stands.

'Let's do it again soti.'

Again?

That's great. This is the best fight I've had in a long ti.

"Neat fight, you ......

I looked around. The area around looks completely abandoned.

It's not a fight, it's more like a killing spree, and it's an environntal disaster.

It's not a cloudy day, but it's not a refreshing one.

Hey, co on, hey.

No, I'm not...

Okay, let's go get a drink at a place we know. I know a place that serves super-aged at. Let's go there and enjoy so old at and old wine.

Hey, wait a minute. That was quick. I an, what happened to your regular work schedule?

I'm closing up shop for the day. I don't do overti.

Nicholas half-heartedly tried to take in as I protested, and Nicholas half-heartedly tried to take in.

When he stood up, Nicholas was wobbly, and if you look closely, you can see that he's still so damaged that he can't walk straight.

If I wanted to unshake him, I could easily unshake him.

It's a good thing I did. I ca twice in that fight.

The perverted but unyielding Nicholas, I don't want to go deep with you, but I'll tell you in a footnote? There's no need.

I don't mind at least having a drink with him. I started walking with them, thinking, "What's more, what's a super-aged at?

"More importantly, what's this super-aged at thing?

Do you know a dungeon called Bloomin'? It's a dungeon in hetero, and it's where the at is dropped and processed.

"Processing in a dungeon?

You do know that what you drop in a dungeon becos a new monster if you leave it alone, right?

Yeah.

It reminded of Tellurian parent and child sli.

Parent-child slis drop multiple potatoes at the sa ti, but depending on their dropping ability, there are so scraps that don't turn into gold, depending on whether the dropped potatoes are small or badly shaped.

Those junk will be left in the dungeon and hatch into new parent and child slis.

Many adventurers in this world specialize their abilities and equipnt in going around the tiers they pass.

Even though it is strictly forbidden to hatch a monster from another level, there is nothing wrong with discarding monsters from that level. Rather, it's welcod by the ability to increase the number of monsters.

'Make use of it. Leave the at you drop and hatch it into a monster when it's on the verge of rotting. We'll kill that monster and drop another at. That's how it works.

Why do you have to go through all that trouble again?

at tastes best when it's still rotten.

Well, ...... maybe so.

I've heard that argunt a lot, I can understand it.

"We let the at almost go bad, and when it's about to get umami, we hatch it into a monster or reincarnate it. Then the savoriness will return to normal.

Is that so?

Hey. It's called reincarnation. One, two, three, and so on, and the at gets better and better with each incarnation.

Yes. ......

However. I'm not sure if you can find out how rotten it is and if you can kill it after it hatches, but it doesn't always drop at. Even if you have drop A, sotis you don't get it, right?

Indeed.

''That's why the high number of reincarnations cos at a high price.

Yeah.

What can I say, I'm subtly impressed.

I can see why the price is so high.

It's reminiscent of a netherworld weapon enhancent system, where the possibility of failure follows each reincarnation, and if you fail, all the effort you put into it is pah.

So I can see why it's expensive and valuable.

At the sa ti, I can see why Nicholas would like it.

It's a drink, in a way.

I know he likes the old stuff, and I can see why he likes it, claiming that ti is the greatest luxury.

As I walk alongside Nicholas, I ask him about the super-aged at.

He makes a strong case for how good it is, and I'm usually curious about the taste of it.

We leave the almost abandoned section and head back to the downtown area we were in earlier.

Then.

'Ah, visitor.'

I saw the woman I had just helped at the store.

She was looking for , and when our eyes t, she ran over to .

'What's up?'

I found this on one of my custors' seats. Didn't you forget it?

She said, and held out her gun.

'Oh?By the way, you haven't used a weapon yet, have you?

He wasn't using it.

Slip!

Isn't that fair?

Take it and fight again, now for a second round.

No, no, no. ......

I thought you weren't going to work overti. ...... The mont I was about to accept the gun, I was about to accept the ...... mont.

I realized sothing.

There was a gun.

My gun was there.

It was one gun.

Not two. It's one.

Along with the one the woman gave you, it was two.

That delayed the reaction. It's been a long ti since he's had two guns.

The gun glows. The barrel of the gun cracks and light floods out from inside.

By the ti I was "creeped out" by the light, it was too late.

The world stopped...... no, it was too late.

The world has gone into slow motion with a fra sent to slow motion, but the two of us were not able to react.

I'm the only one who is aware of the aning of this light.

It was a suicide bomber using her to target .

The mont I realized that, I took out the Absolute Rock stone I was holding.

After a blinding light engulfs the area.

I opened my eyes, enduring the searing pain.

In front of , I see Nicholas.

'Hey, are you okay?'

In his invincible state, Nicholas was worried about .

I took a deep breath and pulled out my (,) gun.

I recovered enough damage that I had to fire a series of infinite recovery rounds ...... and took a breath, letting out the air that had accumulated in my lungs.

'It's okay. Over there.

There you go. You threw this at .

Nicholas said and held out the Absolute Rock stone in the palm of his hand.

The mont the light flooded in, he quickly pressed it against him to activate it.

The light felt bad. I knew that Nicholas, injured after the fight, might not be able to withstand it.

Thanks to activating it, Nicholas was safe.

On the contrary, the surroundings were terrible.

There was no damage to the building, but the air was different.

The air was horrifyingly empty.

The air around us was horrifyingly empty now, similar to the way it was after the typhoon had passed and the dust had cleared away.

What does that an?

You're a target.

What?

I look at Nicholas to see what's going on, and I'm horrified.

Nicholas's smile is different than it was a little while ago.

He's smiling, but he's also very aggressive.

"Use as bait.

...... So as long as you can beat , that's all that matters, and even if you can't, you're the second assassin when you're weak.

I suppose so.

......

Nicholas laughed with eyes that weren't smiling.

He's just mad that he's being used.

'It's a sha about that sister. I'm sorry you got completely caught up in it.

Yeah, that's fine.

What?

Phew!

Nicholas scowled, and a woman peeked out of my pocket.

It ca out of my pocket as if it had grown a head.

'What's that?'

I had it in my pocket at a mont's notice.

d*mn, man. You're good at this.

......

With Absolute Rock's stone, even though it's in invincibility mode, it's not completely invincible.

I decided to hide the stone in Nicholas, who is wounded but competent, and the woman, who is a re civilian, in her pocket.

And I did my best to keep my magic at bay.

It was a spur-of-the-mont decision, but sohow it seed to work.

I was relieved to see that it worked, and now I felt a surge of anger.

'Nicholas. Who asked you to do this?

I knew what to expect, but I asked him just in case.

The answer I got back from Nicholas was still what I expected.

Linus Ronin.

The head of the Sathyllene Society is being hunted down.

You're going to have to pay for it, and you're going to have to pay for it.
