[What... is this place?]
While I had Taijo record the map, we continued walking through the dungeon, and after descending the staircase from the 79th to the 80th floor, we arrived at a vast, open space. The ceiling was quite high, and it was a huge contrast to the narrow caves we had been walking through so far.
[Can you see the stairs on the other side?]
[...Yeah, they're there.]
[If there are stairs, then this probably isn't the final floor.]
: That surprised .
: Imagine if it was the final floor after just four more levels from 76.
: It's not impossible, though.
: Didn't sothing like that happen overseas?
: Yeah, there was a story where the floor right below the highest reached floor turned out to be the final one.
You can't know where the final floor of a dungeon is until you reach it. So even if the final floor is just one level down, you won't know unless you go and check. Though, in the deeper floors, going down even one level can be a life-or-death situation, so it's not sothing to take lightly.
Still, the glowing minerals sticking out of the ground remain the sa. The vastness of the space reminds of the 75th floor of the Shibuya Dungeon. That area also had a huge open space… and a powerful monster.
[Oh.]
[Huh?]
Responding to Kanna's exclamation, I looked ahead and saw what appeared to be a knight statue, its entire body made of crystal. No, it wasn't a statue—it was a monster. Most likely a golem-type creature, similar to the others that scatter magic. It wasn't that big, standing about three ters tall, but in the deep floors, the smaller monsters are often the more troubleso ones.
: That's cool!
: It's got a lot of style.
: A crystal knight? That's super badass.
: Looks strong.
: Wonder if it moves.
[It's our first ti seeing this type of monster, so maybe we should observe—]
[Strike first!]
[Of course.]
Yeah... it was probably a waste of ti expecting Kanna and Grandma to be rational. Kanna will attack anything that makes eye contact, and Grandma always goes all out from the start once she identifies sothing as an enemy.
Despite Kanna starting her attack first, Grandma reached the knight first and delivered a kick to its face as usual. But unlike the other golems, this one didn't even flinch from Grandma's kick. Kanna followed up with a beam of compressed flas, but the knight casually blocked it with its shield.
[Finally, sothing that's worth fighting.]
[Hmm… should I turn up the heat a bit more?]
[I'll take the front lines. Kisaragi, back up.]
[Got it.]
: Is this the first real challenge for the EXs?
: Finally, so serious action.
: I'm getting nervous, too.
: If these four can't clear this dungeon, it's never getting done.
: That's a bit much, lol.
: Maybe for a few hundred years, though.
: Fair point.
Since the knight scatters magic, Kanna's spells likely won't be enough to break through. That leaves us with physical attacks... but if Grandma's kick didn't work, we're in trouble.
[Taijo, support Aizawa.]
[Understood.]
[Kijin!]
[Finally, my turn!]
You're too loud.
: Oh no, here we go
: Lol
: At first, viewers thought she was just a pretty girl, but now…
: She brought this on herself.
: This shikigami has way too much personality, lol.
: As a first-ti viewer, she still just looks like a beautiful woman to , though?
: Give it ti. You'll see.
The crystal knight began swinging its sword at Aizawa, who had closed in. It wasn't particularly fast, but judging by the cracks it left in the ground with each strike, it packed a punch. Still, I wasn't too worried since Aizawa excels at close combat with a sword and shield, so I stayed focused on providing backup from behind.
anwhile, Grandma kept darting in, landing quick kicks on the knight. Even though it didn't look like her strikes were doing much, she wouldn't keep doing it if she didn't sense sothing.
[Uh, what are you doing?]
[Oh? I'm prepping a spell.]
: What the heck?
: What is that?
: Is she making a mini sun?
: Why is she conjuring the sun in her hands?!
: This woman is terrifying.
I felt the temperature rising and turned around to see Kanna raising her hands, and in them, a large ball of fire, roughly the size of a basketball. When I asked what she was doing, she casually said she was casting a spell, but even as we spoke, the fireball kept growing larger.
[Yeah, I thought the last attack didn't pack enough punch, so I'm boosting it.]
[...Kijin, help control that fire.]
[Once again with this woman... How many tis will she burden you, Master?]
You're not one to talk, Kijin.
: What's he even saying?
: You too, Kijin!
: Gotta love the Twelve Heavenly Generals… even their boorangs hit perfectly.
[Aizawa, you might want to watch your back. Kanna's about to go wild with another reckless spell.]
[Uh… why do I need to watch out for my allies while exploring the deep floors?]
[It can't be helped. Both Kanna and Master are terribly carefree.]
[True, but still…]
Oi, Taijo. You're my shikigami, so I can hear your thoughts no matter where you are. Don't badmouth in front of the viewers, or they'll start giving grief too.
[Here we go!]
Kanna's fireball, which had grown to several ters in diater, was suddenly compressed down to the size of a baseball. It was so condensed that it seed to tremble, with white light leaking from it. Can you even throw sothing like that safely? Unfazed by my concerns, Kanna launched the compressed fireball at the crystal knight with Kijin's help.
[Whoa!] Find more chapters on m_v l|e-
[Gouchen!]
Realizing it was about to cause massive destruction, I quickly summoned Gouchen to protect everyone with a barrier. At the sa ti, Kanna's fireball slamd into the knight's shield and exploded.
As a result, Kanna's compressed fla magic scorched the entire 80th floor of Sapporo Dungeon in an instant.
