67 Part 1
Lets be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~ 67
Lets Explore A New Floor!
Yeah, this is weird
After a good nights rest, Haruki found himself confused by the situation that had been thrust upon him.
An adventurer was soone who investigated dungeons and protected people from the threat of monsters.
Haruki had beco an adventurer because he wanted to be soone that could save people.
Following this initial plan, Haruki beca stronger.
And to so extent, he gained the power to protect people.
However, things had gotten a little too strange.
A potato monster was living together with him.
And now a Centipede was taking care of his house.
Both were monsters that he had tad.
There was probably nothing wrong about Rhea, though.
Having her on his back had been giving Haruki a certain safety margin.
Several of the Monster Parades he had broken through would have been impossible without her help.
But Esta was a different story.
Haruki had wanted a Silver Wolf to be the kind of monster that would be protecting his house.
A Caterpillar was definitely not what he had expected.
The night before, Haruki didnt question it because he was extrely tired of hunting all night long.
In all honesty, what happened the day before happened by re chance.
Well, hes kinda cute, so he should be fine
Leaving ho, Haruki said hi to Esta.
Then Esta replied by cheerfully wiggling his feet.
He was really cute.
Estas gestures smashed Harukis doubts.
A Silver Wolf taking care of his house?
Nonsense.
The one to protect his house had to be that Centipede!
Um, can I ask you sothing?
Karen, who had showed up in front of Harukis house, seed rather troubled.
What is it?
What on earth happened last night?
Her question made sense.
There was nothing crawling on his walls the day before, and now there was a Centipede there.
Its ta.
Huh?
I tad this Centipede. His na is Esta. Hes in charge of taking care of the house.
Uh-huh
Karens face showed she was having a hard ti fully grasping the situation.
You really are the type to co up with the most ridiculous things the mont I take my eyes off you, huh?
Haruki felt as if more than co up with, she had ant sothing like have suffer.
How rude.
All Haruki was doing was taking his adventuring life seriously.
He had always taken things seriously when it ca to adventuring.
It was just that the results so far have been a bit unexpected.
The other day, after harvesting rice, Haruki activated the door to the 13th floor.
So they headed to the 13th floor and began exploring.
Since it was an odd-numbered floor, there would only be regular monsters there.
Haruki progressed through the floor with more caution than what he normally had for even floors.
Like in the 11th floor, there were Chachas on this floor as well.
But unlike the Chachas on the 11th floor, these had brown fur.
Brown Chachas?
They looked a lot more like brown bears.
Haruki thought of attacking one in order to see what their abilities were.
They were stronger.
As the Silver Wolves varied in the color of their fur, their strength increased little by little.
Compared to that correlation, this Chacha was sothing else entirely.
It was very strong.
Its attacks were quick.
And it was considerably tough.
This is good.
This is really good!
Haruki licked his own lips.
Wielding his short sword with notable elegance, he delivered one attack after another.
The Chacha counterattacked, relying entirely on its own brutal strength.
If that attack were to connect, even soone like Haruki would be easily blown away.
The sound the attack made in the air as the Chachas arm went down made it easy to understand its sheer strength.
Seeing through the Chachas movents, Haruki was able to parry its attacks.
Karaboshi!
At Karens signal, Haruki stepped to the side.
At that mont
A flicker.
Vrooom!
Lightning struck and the air was shattered.
Shortly after, a white magical wave motion followed the path the lightning had gone through.
Thud!
It exploded on the stunned Chacha.
The shock made the Chachas eyes roll back.
!
Haruki did not miss that chance.
He quickly readied his blade and attacked the Chacha.
What Karen had done was to let loose a series of consecutive magical attacks.
Her first attack was ant to paralyze the opponent, to make sure that the second attack would hit.
It had been a well-executed tactic.
This is good.
This is really good!
Haruki got fired up after seeing Karens new techniques.
Karen was working hard.
He couldnt let himself fall behind.
Haruki continued attacking in quick succession.
Slash, tear, thrust, and cut it down.
Though it was a Chacha with higher defense, it stood no chance before Harukis onslaught of repeated attacks.
After his attacks were over, Haruki put away his blade and loosened up.
By that ti, the Chacha had already drawn its last breath.
After taking a deep breath and turning away, he noticed that Karen was puffing up her cheeks a little.
Haruki wondered if she was holding so kind of grudge against him.
Or maybe she was just mad because her new technique seed to go unnoticed by him?
Those consecutive attacks were really sothing.
Do you really think so?
Karen opened her eyes wide.
She seed to doubt Harukis words, but there was a glimpse of a smile on her face as well.
It would appear that the latter was the correct answer.
Maybe it wasnt the right ti to be giving praise, but Haruki was glad he did anyway.
Haruki really ant what he said.
These Chachas are way harder than the ones in the 11th floor.
Yeah. Ah, do you think they will hear our footsteps and co to us as well?
Theres a possibility, yeah.
Haruki took out what little dicine for removing slls and sounds, and sprinkled it on Karen and on himself.
They approached the center of the floor without making any sound.
However
They seem to have noticed us
Harukis Detection picked up the sign of a monster approaching them.
Once again he got ready for battle, and defeated the incoming Chacha.
Haruki was ready to escape at any mont if it turned out they needed to, but the Chacha ca alone and didnt call for any reinforcents during their battle.
The Chachas on the 13th floor were clearly different from the ones on the 11th floor.
Could it be that they were using their eyes to find them, rather than their noses and ears?
Also the phenonon which linked all of the Chachas on the 11th floor together did not occur here.
Haruki used the dicine just in case, but had it been really useless?
Haruki and Karen pressed forward as they kept on defeating Chachas.
The level of the monsters on the 13th floor was getting closer to the one seen on the last Monster Parade and the Lizardman that Haruki fought recently.
However, since Harukis ability with the short sword had improved, he had an easier ti keeping up with his opponents.
He could currently defeat a single Chacha in twenty seconds.
As long as he fought them one-on-one, there wouldnt be much of a problem.
But what would happen if he was forced to fight two of them at a ti?
Should he level up a bit more?
Leaving Harukis concerns aside, having felt a Level Up sickness several tis, the difference with the Chachas quickly beca evident.
The reason for that sudden difference was due to the influence of Harukis Growth Acceleration skill.
However, it seed that Harukis and the Chachas abilities were not as close to each other as Haruki initially anticipated.
