The Loner Who Conquers the Other World-Novel

Chapter 212: Using whispers to incite fantasies, and then switching from offense to defense, lately, she is quite a technician

Day 58 – Late Morning, Dungeon, 50F

In the end, there were only two hidden rooms. While the items were quite good, they were nothing especially impressive. Even so, while they can’t become a decisive element, improved with mithril they might become a sufficient increase in battle potential.

That’s because the other two items are too outstanding. They keep displaying an overwhelming might, completely outclassing every other item.

The chain whip wielded by the Pres-sama 『Chain Whip of Savage Lightning』creates a wall of offense with its overwhelming storm of destructive force. 『Chain Whip of Savage Lightning – ALL 70% UP, +ATT, Grand Lightning, Whirlwind, Hundred Strikes, Seal of Raging Skies, Shape and Length Manipulation.』, at that point, that’s a suppression weapon. And when wielded with the pres’ Whip Mastery it can overpower even a dungeon master.

And then the halberd used by the Geek Guardian, last night I mithrilified and infused it with magic stones, turning it into an exceptional weapon,『Great Sweeping Blade – ALL 50% Up, +ATT +DEF, Slashing/Blunt/Thrust Attack Bonus (Greater), Sweeping Wind』. Sweep, stab around, cut enemies to pieces storming through the battlefield, an all-purpose polearm weapon. He tears through enemies by chaining together weapon skills. With his keen focus, he keeps the combo up, forcibly turning it into a multi-hit attack. A perfect reliance on cheats.

The difficulty of that devastating combo is so ultra-high that it makes one wonder why not use that concentration on practicing his basics? He forcibly merged several moves with full-automatic execution into one consecutive attack.

An amazing combo that has not a shred of confidence in his own ability behind it. He didn’t insert even a single attack made with his own power to fill the gaps!

The Pres-sama and the Geek Guardian are going back and forth, switching positions, alternating offense and defense.

That’s why they are consistently able to receive his attack when their defenses are ready, and at the same time, as much as the opponent might wish to break that formation since the onslaught of attacks never stop the enemy is forced into defensive combat, gradually being pushed back.

A giant that spits fire from its three heads. 『Cacus Lv100』, since it was an unexpected Lv100 dungeon master, I was about to take him on, but that was put on hold, so I’m currently on standby. Well, I tried to scan around, but it seems his little sister『Cacia』is not around, so it should be alright, however, they seem to be well-matched in terms of strength, so it’s an undoubtedly dangerous fight. They are simply misleading and dominating him through strategy, so there is no room for negligence.

But Cacus is a son of the god of fire Vulcan that appears in Roman mythology, and a giant who does mischief together with his little sister Cacia until he is eventually exterminated by Hercules. The nature of his offense is cattle thievery, a very odd monster.

But with his sister not around, were they unable to keep good family relations in this world? Wait, speaking of not going well, there was a version that Cacia betrayed Cacus and revealed the location of his cave to Heracles. Them not being on good terms is very likely. This world is a tough one too.

And I can’t let my guard down here too! To think that Armored Pres-san would come with 『8-step Ladder』from 『Great Pyramid』! Taking it under the assumption that she was going for 『Helicopter』was a mistake. Escaping to 『Fishnet』I tried to progress from there, but just when I relaxed thinking that it’s safe now, she began progressing towards『8-step Ladder』. Slime-san even began bouncing from the excessive shock. How fearsome is ex-dungeon emperor scheming! This is the true stratagem! In fact, even 『Great Pyramid』was nothing but bait, a mere part of a grand cat’s cradle scheme!

(Jiggle-Jiggle)

Slime-san seems to be having a hard time too, but you can’t use more than 10 tentacles, okay? If we go that way it’ll become a never-ending cat’s cradle story since we all can do that? It’s banned.

Actually, Armored Pres-san can use Evil Hands as well. When I tried the 20-sword style with Evil Hands, she countered it with the 10-sword style! By the way, she could counter it with just one sword, so the result is the same in the end. Naturally, while I say countered, I mean beat the hell out of me.

Generally, I end up having a bad time if I’m trying to hold out through small gimmicks, but when I fight through sheer ability, I still end up having a bad time. For now, I’ve never seen any conclusion aside from having a bad time. I’m pretty sure that the latest popular understanding is supposed to be that while the word is written as 『practice』, it is to be read as 『suffering』 and understood as 『getting beaten up』.

At this rate, my name will soon be followed by 『Punching Bag』in parenthesis. Yesterday, I felt that somehow I was referred to as a register, I wonder if it was just my imagination?

「Right flank, attack! Defensive formation forward!」

「「「「Roger.」」」」

At last, the second head fell to the floor. Soon, his left hand will be chopped off as well. And then it will be checkmate. 『Regeneration』of level 100 dungeon master can’t keep up at all anymore. With his 『Grand Blaze』being blown away by the Pres-sama’s chain whip, he is reduced to a normal giant. Unable to do anything he is being simply destroyed while helplessly raging around. Roaring in rage, Cacus is gradually being whittled down.

He is distracted by the Pres-sama and the Geek Guardian who seem like the biggest threat. But the real source of damage is the saturation attack by the other 27 people. They seem to be slowly wearing him down, but it is them who took 80% of his HP while he was preoccupied with the two that seemed like the biggest threat.

This is a total tactical victory. By the point he got caught into their tactic there is nothing a level 100 dungeon master can do except go down. A complete victory.

And here we have Armored Pres-san’s complete victory too. If it was a 4 step ladder I could’ve handled it, but 8-step is too much. It’s my utter defeat.

「I’m really moved that we finally defeated a level 100 dungeon master… But the cat’s cradle is really bothering me!」

「Until『Great Pyramid』both offense and defense were amazing, watching it was really worthwhile. However, 8-step was impossible, huh?」

「Haruka-kun’s defeat was already sealed when he chickened out and tried to return it to Fishnet. His lack of heart brought defeat.」

For some reason, a review session for our string game has begun. Moreover, I’m currently being dissed? Well, I did chicken out. But why was everyone watching that?!

「Enough about cat’s cradle, let’s begin the review session! Gather up, but why is there a cat’s cradle tournament being held right when we are desperately fighting a boss? Moreover, it’s like the boss is just a sideshow, with everyone being focused on that passionate battle?!」

The Pres-sama is infuriated. She must’ve gotten emotional damage (Trauma) from her previous experience with cat’s cradle. And while it seems she is very dissatisfied with the cat’s cradle tournament, it’s not because she didn’t feel anything. For example, last night, during that turtle shell bondage incident, she kept writhing around, making the cord burrow deeper, clearly showing that she is feeling it in a very sensual and sensitive way.

Or rather, why is the Armored Pres-san whispering to me about dangerous incidents of the girls-only meetings right in the middle of our nighttime showdown? Isn’t it rude if I’ll think about some different girl when we are doing it? And right when I thought that, the Armored Pres switched from defense to offense! The exquisite use of whispers for both offense and defense.

And while going hard on offense she kept whispering into my ear about where the cord was wedging in, how her breasts were, where they accidentally rubbed when trying to free her and what happened because of that? As a result, yesterday I ended up in an unusual unfavorable position, and had to endure numerous attacks until I was able to finally turn the situation around! It was a fearsome trap of the dungeon emperor. And since she has become quite a technician lately, I can’t take her lightly! She is truly a worthy opponent, tonight we are going to have another showdown!

And then I ended up repeatedly apologizing to the Pres-sama who was glaring at me with a teary-eyed flat gaze while brandishing her whip. And of course, despite repeatedly apologizing, I was still made to kneel and scolded. Regrettably, it seems she had no such similar incidents with the whip, no wedging in or twining around. Truly regrettable.

And while they called it a review meeting, they were beaming with smiles, that’s delight and confidence that came from beating a level 100 dungeon master with their own strength.

And they reached level 100 themselves. Finally, around half of the classmates managed to break through the level 100 wall and gained new power.

I mean, passing or not passing is not that important now, since they obtained the strength to truly contend with dungeon masters. Gathering a whole raid group to challenge those on the 50th floor might be an overkill now.

So the condition is defeating a level 100 dungeon master? And if there are level 100 adventurers, it means that there are people out there who are capable of that. Isn’t it a bit of a tall task though?
