rdie defeated all the 5 knights.
She also received a lot of damage, but Seira would heal all her wounds right away. Thanks to her, rdie wasnt cowered by the knights and continued defeating each of them.
Sally and Lilia didnt manage to attack the knights directly, but they acted as rdies support by covering her blind spots and deflecting the knights assaults.
Thanks to the trio backing her, rdie managed to annihilate each of the knights possessing fire, water, wind, earth and lightning attributes respectively by herself.
rdie had collapsed to the floor and was staring at the ceiling.
Seira recovered rdies stamina, but she was thoroughly exhausted ntally because she had been pushing her concentration to the limit while fighting off Halts knights.
Nevertheless
I did it ow.I..I defeated those Bakemono with five attributes ow
rdie raised her right hand in the air and balled it into a fist. She was brimming with happiness.
She could feel her own progress.
Thanks for the hard work, rdie. Well done.
Halt. Im super tired, ow.
Halts voice resounded from the bracelet on rdies right arm.
His training thod might be harsh, but he would generously reward his comrades when they accomplished his drills.
rdie was looking forward to that reward.
Halt t rdies expectations.
What do you want for a reward? Do you want another massage?
ow!?
By massage, Halt referred to his hand massage.
When he first did it, it was because he wanted to enjoy the sensation of rdies paw pads. She really enjoyed the feeling on her palm, apparently.
She couldnt forget the massage that Halt gave to her, so she tried doing it to herself, but she didnt achieve the sa comfortable feeling that he gave her.
There was also a ti when she requested Luna to massage her. It was better than when she did it herself.
However, compared to Halt, it was far from enough.
I want Halt to massage again.
That thought had been constantly on her mind since then.
However, for a beastkin woman, the act of offering her palm to the opposite sex clearly ant one thing submission.
It was not sothing commonly done, even among spouses.
rdie acknowledged that Halt was a powerful person, so if he required her to give him her hand, she would do so without any hesitation.
However, to do so by her own volition was sothing that went against the instinct of the beastkin, so she couldnt do it no matter what.
Its okay even if its not a massage.
I want that hand massage, ow!
rdies desire to beco more comfortable surpassed her instinct as a beastkin.
Okay~! Lets have your reward after were back at the mansion, alright. By the way, do you want to challenge the 12th floor?
N-no. Lets call it quits for today, ow.
Yes, Im actually afraid of moving on beyond here.
I also give up, ow.
Indeed.
Seira, Sally, Lilia didnt seem interested in moving forward, either.
Got it. Great job, guys. Alright, Ill teleport you guys back here.
Halt said then he teleported the four of them back to the Master Room.
* * *
Alright, I want you to challenge two more sets in the dungeon, butis there anyone else who wants to go?
He symphtatized a bit with rdies group, so Halt decided to gather the next batch of challengers.
However, not a single person raised her hand.
Thats only natural.
Everyone had witnessed how the monsters surrounded, chased and cornered rdie through the monitor.
Halt already expected this to happen.
No challengers? If you clear a floor, Ill give you a reward, you know?
Halt tried to tempt his wives.
And that offer was very tempting for them, indeed.
If they didnt see rdies hardships during the battle then there was probably soone who would raise her hand in a heartbeat.
However, the cons were too heavy.
Nobody was about to raise their hand
A-ahm.I want to try it.
Eh!?
Luna surprisingly raised her hand.
Even Halt, the person who made the proposal, was taken aback.
Ill get a reward if I clear a floor, right?
Y-yup, thats right. ButLuna, are you sure about this?
Yes, I have a secret plan.
She then beckoned to Halt and whispered in his ear when he ca closer.
Whoa, I get it now! Yeah, that fighting style is so like you, Luna. Seems a good plan. Its okay, you can try it.
Thank you. If ever the situation becos dangerous
Yup. Ill definitely save you.
Luna, this dungeon is really the worst. Better reconsider it, ow.
rdie was slouching on a chair. She warned Luna.
However, Lunas resolve remained unshaken.
L-Luna, are you serious? If youre really going to challenge it, then Im going to help you.
Youko offered to go with Luna to the dungeon, but Halt didnt approve.
Luna will challenge the 16th floor on her own.
Halt-sama, thats too dangerous!!
R-right! rdie already had a super hard ti dealing with the 11th dungeon. Sorry to be blunt, but Luna cant handle it.
Professor TIna, Youko, Ill be fine.
Lunas face was brimming with self-confidence.
I already heard about Lunas plan. I also think it might work if she did that. Anyway, lets have you do that. Luna, good luck.
Yes, Ill do my best!
Halt teleported Luna after hearing her words.
S-shes really on her own.
Tina looked anxious as she stared at Lunas figure in the monitor.
Luna was sent off to the 16th floor.
And the monster there was
O-Oy!! Arent those inferno wolves!?
Elmia noticed the true nature of the monsters gathered around Luna as she stood alone on the floor.
A-arent they the strongest among the wolf-type monsters? Theyre S-ranked!! (Leaffa)
This is bad. Luna, hurry up and run!! (Youko)
L-Luna, run!! (Mai and i)
Everyone was worried about Luna.
Lunas voice echoed through the master room from her bracelet.
Halt, please help !
Eh!?W-what!?
Hakua and Leaffa were perplexed because Luna had went out brimming with self-confidence, and yet she imdiately asked to be rescued.
I-I told you, she cant handle it!! Master, hurry up and go to Luna!!
Youko urged Halt to go to Lunas rescue, but
Halt didnt move an inch.
Thats only natural.
He already knew that the Halt Luna was calling for wasnt the person inside this room.
Sothing jumped out of Lunas bracelet.
And that was Halt.
Five Halts surrounded Luna as if to protect her.
Luna then casted her magic on them.
Max Power! Max Magic! Max Concentrate! Max Speed! Ultimate Guard!
Different types of auxiliary magic flowed towards the five Halts.
Halts status was frozen because of the Evil Gods curse, so all those support magic wont have any effect on him.
The true Halt, that is.
The five Halts were all made out of Bunshin Magic.
It was a spell that fashioned the non-attribute knights into Halts figure.
And because Luna had leveled up, she could now cast auxiliary magic towards the magical spells created by other people.
Halts clones didnt have the infinite magic possessed by the original body, but they could still wear magic suits when going to battles, so their fighting power wasnt inferior to the original.
The attack power and speed as well as defend power of the clones of the strongest sage had been further elevated thanks to Luna.
The five Bakemono who already surpassed Halt when it ca to fights that were mainly about physical strength were now protecting Luna.
Can one of you protect ? The rest of Halt, please annihilate all the monsters of this entire floor.
Okay! Ill protect Luna.
Gotcha. Ill hunt the monsters.
Sa here.
Ill go to the left side.
Alright, then
Lets go for the kill!! (All 5)
The four Bakemono were released into the 16th layer of the Dungeon Ruins.

T/N: Good thinking, as expected from the smartest person in the entire academy XD
