Awakening
Aki side
Except for the captain, loki, elfy, lefiya and riveria sama, everyone is laughing at Bell being chased by Minotaur. I really don't understand why everyone laughs at Bell like this. It's not Bell's fault, can anyone be at LV 1. You can face Minotaur without fear
Alicia: There can be no such thing, right than you are weaker, hopeless and a small character who has no energy and no results is not qualified to stand by your side. You don't need to be told by others that you would not agree to it. A small character is not worthy of you who may take over as the leader of the team!
And when Alicia said this sentence that really made me angry, and I decided to scold her severely, a figure stood up in the corner of the store.
Syr:bell san!
As the girl's clerk yelled, a boy rushed out and rushed out of the shop. When the girl caught up with me, my eyes clearly saw the boy's face.
(!)
Girl: Huh? Are he here for Bawang's meal?
Loki: Wow, I dare to mess around in Mia's shop. I really don't know how to do it.
I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a moment, and then suddenly got up. The sudden situation still made the people around me not know what was going on, but I didn't pay attention to them.
(The person just now is Bell!)
The white hair like the first snow, the water droplets, those crimson eyes that sparkle with regretful tears, are definitely bells!
He heard all the words just now and i must catch up!
Just when I was about to run outside with the female clerk, Alicia grabbed my hand
Alicia: Wait aki, where are you going, answer my question just now
I looked at her angrily, then picked up the water I put aside and poured it on her, and said to her angrily
Aki: You should sober up now!
Alicia: Wow!
After Alicia let go of my hand, I immediately ran out, but except for the pedestrians on the street, the female shop assistants and bells were gone.
Aki:bell (sad voice)
Just when I stood in a daze like this, riviera sama came over to talk to me
Riveria: The person Aki just ran out was Bell, right?
Aki: riveria sama, yes, the person who just ran out is indeed Bell
Riveria: Sure enough, this is troublesome
Aki: what to do with riveria sama
Riveria: Let's go back to the tavern and talk about bell when we return to the headquarters
Aki: I understand
When I was about to return to the store, I took another look outside and felt very sad when I thought of the situation when Bell just ran out.
In the night sky, the weeping clouds gradually covered the moon.
Bell side
(Damn, damn, damn!)
Bell was running. Water droplets leaked from the twisted corners of his eyes and flowed behind him. What passed through his mind was what happened just now.
I only feel sad that I am embarrassed. I was insulted and made fun of as a laughingstock. In the end, I was protected by her. This was the first time he wanted to make this kind of self disappear.
(Stupid, I'm a big idiot!)
Every word the elf girl said made his heart like a knife. Cowardice, incompetence, lowliness and fragility, the words that the elf girl said were not wrong.
I have been committed to the gentle atmosphere of aki san but I have forgotten what is really important
In order to be able to stand by her side and have been doing nothing but indulging in her warmth is wrong
I have to do everything else I won't even be allowed to appear in front of her
The killing intent in my heart is not for the elf girl who despises herself, nor the others who despise her, but the stupid self who does not work hard but expects to get something for free.
(I'm so angry!)
The cowardly self affirmed the elf girl's words, and the fragile self couldn't refute a word. The incompetent self was just a little stone on the roadside to her. The most annoying thing was that she didn't even have the qualifications to stand by her side.
(!)
Crimson eyes stared at the distant front. The skyscraper facility built above the maze opened the entrance to the underground, as if waiting for myself to come. Aiming for the dungeon to be a higher level, my eyes filled with tears were raised. I ran towards the tall tower standing in the dark without looking back.
One step kick on the ground.
Monster: Whoa ah ah ah
When passing by, the blade of the knife waved
The monster abandoned behind gave a short cry and then fell to the ground with a "boom"
Looking back, the frog monster with a huge single eye had died, and red and black body fluids spilled all over the place.
The frog monster that shoots out a long tongue to attack adventurers. The collapsed eye sockets of the "Frog Shooter" stared at the monster's body without emotion. I turned and left the place.
Regardless of the fatigue message from the limbs, only focus on finding the moving objects in the field of vision. Walk into the depths of the intricate labyrinth with a smooth floor. The walls and ceiling form an orderly labyrinth structure.
Endless and endless, the uniform and boring continuous space entangles me who is wandering around aimlessly
Unlike the exploration during the day, there is a gloomy tranquility in the dungeon. Not only a monster, but I can't feel the breath of other adventurers. Only the sound of me trampling on the soil echoes in the curved passage.
Bell:...
I moved forward in the dungeon at an undead pace and looked down at my body. I didn't wear any armor and I was dressed in ordinary casual clothes. There were traces of monster claws passing by. Like a robber
He held it in his right hand, and used a short knife to protect the body as a precaution. It was stained with the blood of countless monsters, and it was wet.
Bell: (I hurt my whole body)
I didn't even bring a decent piece of equipment, my body was wounded and it seemed to be irrelevant. I didn't stop, just closed my eyes a little.
I just blindly kill the monsters and keep running in the maze
I admit that my strength is weak and pathetic, I become self-defeating, motivated by the remorse that keeps flowing in my heart, I repeatedly wield the only weapon in my hand
I worked hard just to shorten the distance with her far away, to reach a height where I don't know how difficult and dangerous it is, I gave my whole body to the will of a foolish heart deep in my heart.
Bell: (Where is this?)
Now that the passion point of abandoning rationality has passed, the heat of burning the whole body has been somewhat cooled down, and the monsters suddenly no longer appear after hunting all the way. My cloudy thoughts have finally begun to move, and the mind is trying to grasp the status quo
The wall of the dungeon surrounding me is not the light blue that I saw last time, but the light green passage has become extremely narrow. The structure of the maze is more complicated. The type of monster I just encountered is not the low-level monster that I have fought a few days ago
Bell: (Is this the "6th floor"?)
I traced the ambiguous memory, remembered the teachings of riveria sama and came to a conclusion. It seems that I am now on a new floor.
I wandered around on the 6th floor with no actual feelings. Now all my feelings are almost paralyzed. I can't think of the option of "return" at all. In my vague consciousness, I started to look for the next one as if being pushed by something. the goal
I feel that my body is very tired. It seems that I have accumulated more fatigue than I thought. I don't even know how long it has been since I got into the dungeon.
In the labyrinth, there is a burning light on the ceiling, so there is no need to worry about the light source. However, the light source here is always the same dazzling at night or in the morning. At this time, I don't have any way to confirm the current time without a clock.
Bell: (here?)
After a certain distance, I came to a spacious room-like space. The hall was square and there were no objects obstructing the view. The space was full of pale green walls, and there was nothing interesting at all.
I walked to half of the room and stood near the center and looked around. I couldn't find a way to other places. It seems that the road I originally walked on was the only entrance to this hall.
With hollow eyes, I understand that this is a dead end, when I decided to turn around and go back on the same road, the moment I turned around
I heard a "click".
Bell:?
Chopping
There was a bizarre sound of something cracking in the hall that was originally silent. My legs froze, but I suddenly raised my head and twisted my neck. I looked around. In the hall with no shelter, there were no monsters in sight. There were only tense sound blocks. The earth shook my tympanic membrane
Faced with the situation I encountered for the first time, a certain corner of my mind raised a possibility. I used the five senses that have been strengthened by [capacity value]. This time I rely on hearing to find the source of the sound, and then move my eyes there as if guided.
The wall of the dungeon stained with light green, the sound from the part of the labyrinth wall on the front is getting bigger and bigger
It didn't take long for the maze wall in front of the line of sight to "broken"
Bell:!
The monster was born from the dungeon, just like what I have witnessed. The monster broke through the walls of the maze from the inside and was born as a life. It skipped the growth process and became a strong and mature individual who can fight immediately.
This huge underground labyrinth is just the mother of the monster that threatens humans. The monster stretched out its hand from the cracks in the wall, scratching in the air, making cracks on the wall, and all parts of its body were exposed to the outside air one by one. The fragments of the city were scattered on the ground
At last there was a particularly loud breaking sound, and the monster's feet were on the ground.
To describe it in one word, it is "shadow". The height is about 160 meters, and the body is the same as me. It is black from head to toe. The contours of the hands and feet are very close to the human form. However, it does not have any tissues that resemble hair or skin. As if it was covered with black paint
The only cross-shaped head is inlaid with a round part that may be a face or a small mirror, which is like a strange monster with a shadow directly emerging.
The monster [War Shadow] that appears on the 6th floor.
Bell:!
"Kasha" came from behind again, and I looked back and saw that another war shadow was born from the dungeon wall in the same way. The two-on-one situation was not good for me. The change from being silent all the time was like making me fall into a trap. So-the dungeon reveals its nature
monster:...
The war shadows who don't have a vocal organ stood up silently and quietly opened the battle frame, the strangely shiny face mirror fixed their eyes on my prey
Bell: Ha!
I exhaled and re-held the sword stained with red blood
I think I may have overly arrogantly abandoned myself to the point of irreversibility. I remembered the situation that happened in the tavern and the reality I was forced to face. I have enough heat to easily burn my gradually cooling body again.
Ignoring the warning bell sounded by instinct, I plunged into the reckless battle before me
Zhanying has sharp "fingers".
There are three fingers on the front of the arms of different lengths. These sharp fingers are shaped like daggers. They step by step with extremely fast movement speed and then attack with two-handed weapons.
Zhanying's pure combat ability is unmatched among the monsters on the 6th floor. On the 1st to 12th floors of the dungeon, defined as the "upper layer", Zhanying is the most difficult monster for novice adventurers to deal with.
Bell:!
In fact, it is true. I am now under attack unilaterally.
The attacks made by the two war shadows were monotonous, but they were shockingly powerful and fast. They were attacked by dark strange hands at speeds that have not been experienced so far. My skin and clothes were scratched.
Arms with impressive attack distance extend from all angles, facing a decisive range gap, I can't bring my opponents into my arms or even get close to them.
They are completely different from the monsters I have seen so far, and even make me unable to fight back or escape.
They only have one word (strong)
monster:...
Bell: Hmm!
Without a word, it released a difficult attack that could cause fatal injuries. Three black blades bent into bird's claws swiftly approached my heart from the corner of my pupil, beating fiercely, and finally escaped from the field of vision. One blow almost wiped my skin
Coming from the front, side and back with me as the center, a total of four long black arms walking through one after another, repeating back and forth
I blocked the monster's attack while turning my body like a spinning top to avoid the attack of another war shadow. A lot of sweat and red blood dripped in the shaking field of vision, giving people the illusion of gambling and dancing on the cliffs at any time.
The necrotic crisis consciousness recovered rapidly when I noticed my breathing has completely lost its calm.
Bell: (Why?)
Only at this moment did I feel full of anxiety and at the same time a strong sense of abruptness. My low thinking ability regained a little calmness through the sense of crisis and forced me to see the incomprehensible situation clearly.
Bell: (Why, am I still alive?)
I should have noticed this from the beginning
Why can I still have my hands and feet intact when I reach the 6th floor?
Why can I barely get a tie with the monsters on this floor?
Thinking about it, it's strange that a newcomer who has just become an adventurer for less than half a month will not be able to survive exploring this floor even if he has been trained as an advanced adventurer. It is impossible to encounter War Shadow and survive.
Riveria sama did teach herself Aki San and warned herself that the incomplete [Ability Value] of the rookie is useless to the monsters on this floor.
Bell: (Abilities?)
Those anomalous ability values that have risen sharply after only one update pass through my mind in an instant.
Bell: Could it be that
When this thought took over my thinking, the [sacred text] engraved on the back seemed to start to get hot
Bell: Ahhh!
The shock that pierced my body suddenly pulled my consciousness back to the reality before my eyes. Taking advantage of the gap of my distraction, War Shadow's attack directly hit my body. A punch from the backhand hit my shoulder and the whole body bounced horizontally and flew out with a strong impact. The sword in his hand fell to the ground
My only weapon fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Bell:!
As literally indicated, the black shadow immediately rushed to me who fell to the ground. When the other war shadow that had not attacked just raised its right arm to give me a fatal blow
My pupils became narrow. In the scene in front of me, the passage of time became helplessly slow. The memories of the past flowed through my mind with a force of thousands of horses and horses. The scene I witnessed now reappeared in my mind like a revolving lantern.
One of the most dazzling is the heroic appearance of finn san
Bell: (...)
Then he always shows me a very gentle and cute smile on the face of Aki San that I admire
Bell: (!)
In the next moment, I tried my best to make my body move again. I jumped up from the ground in the dungeon and rushed towards the war shadow that was about to hit the right arm. The long black arm cut off a piece of my skin through my cheek, but I still Clenched his bare-handed right hand and slammed into the enemy's face.
The heavy broken sound echoed all around
monster:!
The right fist counterattack with full strength broke the mirror surface of the enemy's face and penetrated the head together.
From the back of the penetrating head, a muddy black liquid poured out, and the shadow of the war crossed my arms. After a brief spasm, I lost all strength and knelt down with soft knees.
Bell: Humph!
I quickly withdrew my arm from the monster's face and turned towards the last war shadow whose companion was knocked down and still frozen in place, and started a hand-to-hand battle with lightning and stone fire.
I picked up the sword and re-equiped it as I ran, and I rushed forward like a hare galloping on the ground into the arms of the enemy, and the shadow of the war was shaking my body and was about to meet it, but my action was one step faster than it.
A flash of sword
The upward slash with a diagonal slash split the enemy's chest. The "Magic Stone" that was chopped in half on the inside of the split chest released a desolate light and shattered.
monster:!
After making a silent scream of death, the monster's dark body turned into dust
I maintained the posture of swinging my sword and stopped where I was, witnessing the scene of a large amount of dust falling down. At the last moment, I suddenly lost my strength and panted roughly.
Bell: Hahahahaha!
I let my lungs gasp and look up at the ceiling.
The strained nerves were broken, and fatigue rushed up all at once. Undoubtedly, this was a battle of life and death. My body finally couldn't hold it. I half-opened my eyelids and casually listened to the fast heartbeat.
Is there any abnormality in my body? I can defeat the monster that was impossible to defeat. Is it because of the rapid growth of [Ability Value] to subvert the common sense that others have taught me?
I don't know what's going on with my body. The questions that surfaced one after another made my heart confused for a while, but my knees suddenly bent and almost knelt down, making me fully understand that my physical strength was approaching the limit. I suppressed endless I asked myself when I started to move my body, which was almost wounded. It was reflected in the need to get out of here as soon as possible. I was reminded by reason. I walked towards the entrance and exit of the hall.
However, it's like telling me "You can't escape" with a crack
Bell: (!)
My breathing stopped immediately. I raised my head and saw spider-like cracks appeared on the walls in both directions on the right and left. It only took a while, and the dungeon gave birth to a total of four war shadows that were twice as large as before.
This is one of the reasons why riveria sama has warned me seriously that I cannot approach the floor below without preparation
When I stood there speechlessly, the leak in the room happened in the night rain and heard several low roars. I quickly turned my head and saw the eyes of a large number of beasts appeared in the depths of the only entrance and exit.
Bell: Ah...
One after another, monsters on the 6th floor began to invade the hall. The only entrance and exit was blocked and there was no way to go back, which is the so-called dead chess state. War Shadow also started to take action. But his mind is surprisingly calm
Bell: ...
I walked forward slowly and bent down beside the corpse of the war shadow that was slaughtered just now. I reached out to the drop item "War Shadow's Finger Blade" that was generated when it turned into dust. I picked up one of the three fingers and made this improvisation. I was holding a dagger without a hilt in my left hand. My palm was cut at once. I saw blood dripping from it.
Bell: (Just make it here for you to see)
Holding two weapons tightly, I raised my eyes fiercely. Facing the unquestionable predicament, what I have in my heart is not the thought of giving up but the determination and ambition to never die
I have high places I want to reach, people I want to catch up with, I want to convey my heart, I don't have time to stop in this kind of place.
When the monsters surrounded me and yelled threateningly, I made up my mind again, as if being driven by a hot engraving on the back, I raised my weapon, and then I rushed towards the crowd of monsters that were approaching.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to type it out. Sorry it will be long, but I hope you can enjoy it.
