Chapter 133: Level 666
Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Weasalopes”
A new character entered the arena.
This one also wasn’t an opponent to charge at right away.
A monster that looked like a fusion of a human and a lizard slowly approached with a sword in its right hand.
A lizardman.
Covered in scarlet scales and with two horns growing from its lizard head it had so resemblance of a dragon.
Naked above the waist he wore baggy trousers. His physique wasn’t that different from mine.
【Appraisal】doesn’t work this ti as well. Unlucky.
However, he had that air of the strong about him, so he should be quite skilled.
The weapon…… Eeh? I feel like I already saw it sowhere. I imdiately appraise it.
The na is Growing Sword. Skills 【Strong Edge】, 【Blade of Destruction】,【Enduring Blade S】,【Blazing Blade】,【Slashing Wave】.
「Isn’t that Unnad?! Why are you here!」
I asked, but Unnad didn’t reply. And he was so noisy on the 12th floor.
Could it be that he has no consciousness anymore?
Or rather, why the lizardman has that swordーー Ah, that’s how it is.
It really bugged on the 12th floor.
Why a weapon that can grow so strong by rely cutting enemies, was given to , a challenger.
So the goal was to make a challenger cultivate a weapon, collect it and then let the lizardman use it.
I feel sowhat betrayed. It stings my heart.
The lizardman’s glare changed which beca an abrupt start of a deathmatch.
As the lizardman swung Unnad horizontally it emitted a slashing wave.
「I was the one who made you learn that move though!」
Complaining, I evade it.
Since【Slashing Wave】cos one after another, I end up running around the arena.
I wonder if I can take back the weapon?
Without that all-purpose sword, that’s equally effective both at distance and in close quarters, the fight would be a lot easier.
I guess I’ll focus on evading, for now, aiming at it running out of stamina.
「……Shuuu.」
The lizardman breathes a sigh, silently, yet clearly showing signs of anger. Stopping with ranged attacks, it used the blazing blade.
Parrying【Blazing Blade】ans the possibility of being set ablaze, so I would prefer to avoid that. And even without the flas, there is still【Blade of Destruction S】.
With S rank it might easily break my weapon.
I guess I’ll stick to blocking it with the sturdy Champion’s Shield and countering with magic.
Reading the opponent’s movents I guard with the shield.
The lizardman was skilled with a sword, his movents resembled those of soone who trained with it since a tender age.
For a while, it turned in a completely defensive battle for , but finding a chance, I countered with【Purple Lightning】during a big swing.
The effective range is 3 ters, so it can be easily used in close combat.
「Ugaah……」
Since the enemy received the electric shock, I use this chance to ram the lizardman with the shield. Next, I use my sword to slash off the opponent’s right hand. Its sword fell to the ground along with it.
Since the lizardman was still stunned by the pain, I put away the shield and picked up Unnad.
「Nice, this is a ga-changer.」
During that mont of negligence, the lizardman attacked with the tail, aiming right at my heart. I barely managed to backstep in ti.
Phew, that was close.
Lizards can grow back lost tails, but this lizardman went even further than that.
A new arm grew right away. Liquid-like strings rushed to the ground as if pulled to it by sothing, forming a new arm.
Left without a weapon, the lizardman, for so reason, instead of attacking , dashed towards a boulder on the arena and pulverized it.
「That’s a terrific ramming attack……」
If it hits , I might die.
And back to why the lizardman did that, it seems that it wanted so stones.
Picking one that fit in its hand, the lizardman then threw it at in a swift motion.
「Ha?」
*ーClang*
The repelled stone flew towards the audience. Raising Unnad by reflex, I accidentally managed to block the stone.
A complete fluke. The lizardman’s throw was that powerful. I also have【Throwing B】, but he was clearly way above .
Undoubtedly he has either A or S.
Once again I pull out the shield and cover behind it. Since there was nothing special about those stones, I endured through this and used【Slashing Wave】from Unnad to counterattack.
「Gyah?!」
One of the attacks hit, slashing the lizardman in two.
I didn’t want sothing like it growing the lower half to happen, so activating 【Blazing Blade】I slashed off its head.
「Phew, this ti I hope it’s over.」
Falling onto my backside I make a weak complaint. If the fourth enemy cos, I guess I’ll just run away.
But what if I’ll have to do this all over again the next ti I co……
But those fears proved to be pointless. The host shouted in a vexed voice.
「This is the worst! To think such a brat would kill all of our champions. Can such a thing even be allowed!? But I will open the gate since I don’t want to get killed myself.」
The path to my goal opened. There also were no signs of a possible riot among the audience.
I’ll be on my way while they still haven’t changed their mind.
And while I tried a stealthy getaway, a sight completely unfit for a winner, that annoying host began shouting once again. What is it this ti!
「Thi-this is bad! This is really bad!」
*BOOM*
A roaring sound akin to that of falling lightning. But instead of a natural phenonon, a black crack appeared in an empty space.
In the blink of an eye, it spread, revealing a pitch-black dinsion, then, sothing riding a red horse appeared from there.
The horse was a fine specin with a splendid physique, but all my attention went to what was straddling on it.
A man with long black hair. But due to his completely red eyes, one can tell that is not a human.
Clad in armor with no helt.
The basic color is black, but here and there it’s ornanted with gold. The defense power seems high. The weapon is a spear, once again, black.
「Strong one. Where are you……」
The voice startled .
I was too focused on appearance, but I have to hurry up and confirm his abilities.
Na: Black Lancer
Level: 666
Skills: Thrust of Annihilation, Hidden Thrust, Spear Throw S, Overall Magic Resistance B.
The only option here is wail in despair.
So the dangerous creature ntioned by Dori-chan is this guy.
You won’t know the outco unless you try to fight, but with his stats, I don’t feel like I have any chance.
Naturally, Black Lancer is looking for …… It is what I thought, but he went towards the screaming audience.
His steed easily jumped over the wall, after which he proceeded to stab those running away into their backs.
「What is that?!」
「I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die yetー」
The host was completely out of his mind. As he ran around in a panic, a thrown spear pierced through his head.
With that magnificent spear throw, I can’t help but admire him, despite him being my enemy. I an, he was at the most outer tier of audience seats and still managed to hit.
Black Lancer sent his horse into a gallop, rushing this way.
「He that fights and runs away may live to fight another day.」
I told myself and dashed towards the passage.
Black Lancer pulled the spear from the host’s head and rushed at at full speed. The entrance to the passage is right there. I have to make it in ti. I’ll die if I don’t!
Entering the passage I spot the sight of the stair further down the corridor.
At the sa ti, I felt behind an intense bloodthirst, which made all of the hair on my body stand.
「Cowards will have no escape.」
I blocked the spear thrown from horseback with the flat side of Unnad.
*CLANG*
An abnormal sound rang, but I wanted to believe.
Since it had【Enduring Blade S】that I created, it shouldn’t break.
But my empty hopes were shattered along with the weapon.
The shockwave knocked off my feet, sending tumbling on the floor. The head was spinning, but the only thought in my mind was that I have to run away no matter what I do.
Catching the glances of the stairs at the edge of my vision I adjust my posture and just dash there with all I’ve got.
「…So you are not a weak one.」
I felt like I heard such a mutter. Perhaps it was nothing but my imagination.
Anyway, I reached the stair and managed to escape to the 14th floor.
Upon descending the stairs I ended up in a room with huge doors, but this ti I couldn’t calmly inspect it.
Black Lancer also appeared on the floor with Dori-chan.
In other words, he had no restrictions and could appear anywhere.
Naturally, he also should be able to climb down the stairs after .
Since the floor was now marked as visited, I imdiately used Dungeon Portal to return to the second floor. Barely escaping with my life.
