"Now Here I co."
I strongly kicked the ground, approaching the mightiest beast that reigned over this place. Its size might be inferior to the Tenraijuu that I once fought, however, to put it the other way around, that small body contained a power that far exceeds that of the Tenraijuu. It's definitely not an enemy that I could fight while holding back. Hence, I activated every skill that increases my statuses, [Cladding Barrier], and then prepared for a short decisive battle.
Guruooooooooo!
"-!"
Suddenly, the three heads of Cerberus looked at the sky and roared at the sa ti. The angry roars that raised synergistically were just like an explosion, making the space and earth tremble, and then they beca a wave of winds that destroys all the surroundings
"Ti Zero."
However, even quicker, I used Ti Zero and transferred behind Cerberus. Then, I took the Naless from my [Item Box] and unstably swung it down with all my might right after transferring.
"Uooooooooo!"
*Clank*
Along with a high-pitched sound, the blade that I swung with all my might is rcilessly deflected by the hard skin of the Cerberus. But, as expected of an S-rank monster, half-hearted attacks don't work on it!
"While Ifrit was protected by fla armor, Cerberus was simply protected by its super hard skin, huh"
Simple yet troubleso. Because that ans I wouldn't be able to deal any damage to it unless it was my most powerful attack. On the other hand, if I get hit by Cerberus's attack even once, my body will surely be crushed alongside the [Cladding Barrier] that protects my body.
"Goooooooooo!"
"Hiss?!"
Shortly after I had finished my thought, one head of the Cerberus approached , showing its ferocious fangs. Looking at this, I imdiately moved my body in the air and slashed its neck using the centrifugal force.
However
"As expected, it's impossible, huh."
As expected, it seems that it would also be difficult to even injure it with such a desperate attack. Let alone cut its neck, the blade was easily deflected by its skin. Having deflected my blade, the three heads then began to attack . And judging that it would be difficult to stick to trying to use that plan, I activated Ti Zero right away.
"Ti Zero."
I temporarily took a distance from the Cerberus and readied myself for another attack. However, looks like I still couldn't be relieved yet because,
"Guruuuuuuu!" "Rwaaa!" "Bwaaaaaa!"
"Wha!"
The three heads of the Cerberus launched an attack at a speed that I couldn't even imagine. Such a reaction speed was as if that monster already read where I would be transferring No, it is possible that my movent was really read by it.
Now, after getting treated by Nanami-san and with my perception towards magic power being stronger than ever, I discovered That when the Ti Zero was activated, sothing like a stagnation of magic power occurred at the place I used the transfer on and at the transfer destination. And I think it is not strange for an S-rank monster to be able to read it intuitively.
" And that's really troubleso."
While dodging the attacks that were rushing at , I calmly analyzed the situation. Cerberus doesn't only have the sharp five senses peculiar to beast-type monsters, it could also sense the magic power, and above all, it could freely control its three long necks. By using those aspects, the monster in front of doesn't have any blind spots. For that reason, no matter where I launched an attack, this monster would respond in a blink of an eye, and I would end up being the one who got chased by it. In other words, it is not an enemy that could be defeated by a simple tactic such as just consecutively using transfers and attacks.
The situation was very unfavorable and also hopeless for , as if sothing was telling You have no other way except defeat'.
However
"What about it."
It has always been the sa.
In the battle against the Naless Swordsman. It was the first ti I fought a superior monster that I thought I couldn't win, no matter how I struggled. But at the edge of that despair, I confronted the reason why I continued to be an adventurer and was able to stand against it.
In the battle against the Orc General. I know my foe was far stronger than I was. Even so, I swung my blade to protect the people important to . And in the end, I managed to save her.
And it was the sa for other battles. The battle against Tenraijuu, Yanagi, High Ogre, Ifrit, and Cain. In all those battles, there is always a wall in front of , a wall that overwhelms with despair. Even so, I still stood up and continued to fight. To be stronger and to protect those important to . And that has paved a way for to my objective.
That is why, right now, at this place. No matter how strong the enemy before , it would never be a reason to give up. Because the only thing in my mind was just how to overco the wall before and gain more power.
Therefore
"GURUOOOOOOOOOO!"
"-"
Along with the roar, a huge mass of flas was released. This ans, this monster must be getting impatient engaging in a close combat with , who was devoted to a hit-and-run tactic while maintaining my distance from it with Ti Zero. And a magic attack is indeed an effective ans against an opponent who tries to maintain distance.
However, that was only if its opponent wasn't .
"Greed!"
"!?"
I summoned Greed in my left hand and brandished it towards the approaching mass of flas, which dyed the transparent blade in crimson red, consuming my MP at the sa ti.
On the other hand, Cerberus apparently didn't expect the whole mass of flas to be wiped out by a single swing of a dagger, causing its movent to stop for a few seconds. Needless to say, this was an opportunity for a counterattack.
"Release!"
Guruu!?
The mass of fla that was released from Greed and directly hit the body of Cerberus, causing it to groan. However, as that fla was originally sothing that Cerberus released, adding to the fact it also has a very hard skin, I didn't think that mass of fla could do any damage to it. But, I didn't really mind that, as I had another objective from doing that.
At the sa ti the mass of fire hit Cerberus's body, smoke arose, stealing the sight of Cerberus. Furthermore, the magic power that spreads around it due to the fireball also weakens it's sensing ability.
Hence, if I want to attack, it's now!
Activating the Ti Zero, I transferred to just below its abdon, which seems to be sowhat less protected than the rest of its body. In other words, the perfect place to aim!
"UOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Along with a powerful step, I swing my blade up in a flash, cutting deeply into the abdon of the Cerberus. As a result, blackish crimson blood spilled vigorously from the wound I inflicted.
GUGYAAAAAAAAAAA!
That one swing most likely dealt a lot of damage to it as I intended, causing the Cerberus to raise a roar full of grudges at the sa ti.
However, I'm still not finished!
"Bloody!"
I replaced Greed in my left hand with Bloody and pierced the scar caused by Greed with the sa montum. At that mont, I felt like I could hear the sound of heartbeats from Bloody.
""GAAAAAAAAA!"""
"Ti Zero!"
Realizing that Cerberus is trying to counterattack by roughly swinging its legs, I promptly activated Ti Zero and retreated temporarily. It seems it wasn't going to chase after right away this ti, as it just crouched down while raising a low grunt. But, while enduring the pain, its eyes never left .
In my eyes, its eyes were as if telling that it will never forgive the inferior who turned his fang against him.
Without running away from the glare that it gave , I activated the effect of Bloody. Then, the blood that my blade absorbed earlier is converted into magic power and sent into my body. Looking at how the magic power I used for activating Greed was restored, I laughed a little.
"I see, this is truly good stuff."
Whenever I fight, Ti Zero and Greed are the things that consu most of my MP. Because of that, I wasn't excellent at long-lasting battles. But, as long as I use the effect of Bloody, I can always replenish my MP even during a battle. Although this was the first ti I used this dagger, it looks like this will be quite useful in the future.
" Nn? What is it doing?"
When I was thinking about that, Cerberus initiated a very strange action. It shifted every eye on its three heads off and lifted its heads. Will it roar just like the first ti? Then, in front of who assud that, a large amount of magic power gathered in each mouth of its.
"That's"
RUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
While I was wondering about that, a giant mass of fla was released from each mouth. Those masses of fla gathered at one point in the air, and along with a deafening boom, they transford into dozens of fireballs, before falling like rain on the entire boss room. And it is not an amount that Ti Zero or Greed could handle.
That scene reminds of my battle against Ifrit. That day, I could only avoid and endure such attacks. However it's different now.
Because I already know how to face this.
Towards the strongest attacks that approached towards everything that could be seen before my eyes, I chanted.
"Peace Ruler."
Simultaneously, the dozens of fireballs that could kill instantly beco magic that could aid . And those fireballs attacked Cerberus one after another.
GURUUUU!?!?!?!
A devastating storm and raging heat wave. The confused roar of Cerberus that was being swallowed by them echoed throughout the room. In the middle of that, I rushed with all my might. Even if the land before has already beco the sea of fire,
"UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
I just strongly,
quickly, ran.
Just to push forward, breaking through every wall that stands before .
Greed, Bloody, and Naless. I will attack again and again using everything I have. I will nullify everything my enemies had, and just crush everything of to the opponent before .
As ti went by, Cerberus gradually lost its stamina and magic power, making his movent dull. On the other hand, my movent keeps accelerating until hundreds of sword flashes begin to overwhelm Cerberus.
And then, the final mont finally arrived.
GARUAAAAAAAAA!
Aware of its unfavorable situation, the three necks of Cerberus rushed at head-on, just like the stubbornness of the weak. And I also greeted it head-on. To prove that in this place, I am the weak one.
Then, I strongly gripped Naless and brandished it with a roar.
"This is the enddddddddddddddd!"
The god-speed blade that surpassed the strongest blinked in the space, and the slash that I swung without a slight delay cut off the three necks of the Cerberus at the sa ti, leaving three half-moons, which were the after effect of the slashes remaining in the place where the blade has passed. At the sa ti, as the three heads fell to the ground, the giant body of Cerberus collapsed.
Last boss has been defeated
Experience acquired Level has increased by 1563

We have confird that you have defeated the last boss alone
Title: The One Who Brings The End was obtained
After a delay, the sound of the system reverberated in my mind. And that was undoubtedly the proof that I had defeated Cerberus, and also proof that I obtained a new power.
However, without the slightest hint of joy, I opened my mouth. Because I already knew I haven't reached my goal yet.
Yes,
"This is only the start."
Like that, I defeated the S-rank monster Cerberus.
