Episode 044: Fear of Death (Third Party Perspective)

Alexia continues on, observing the dungeon, which is far from the impression she had when she came previously, so as not to overlook anything.

"I'm OK."

The amount of money saved by her was enormous, enough to allow an E-ranked human to buy even armor with the ability to compete with a B-ranked monster with equipment alone.

Originally, it was to buy equipment after reaching the aptitude rank, but Alexia used up her savings and bought and wore the equipment. A normal Dungeon Rebirth would raise the enemy's rank by one or two levels, so it should be possible to deal with it without any problems, with this equipment.

Alexia inspires herself so as to not be swallowed by the strange atmosphere and moves one step at a time.

"Enemy."

After a while, there was a reaction to an accessory she wore, a detection bracelet. It identifies the opponent by color, and red indicates an enemy.

There was a T-junction at the end of her sight, and she found an enemy in the passage to the right of it. From there, she proceeded cautiously and approached the enemy without being noticed. She reached the crossroads of the passage and looked around the corner to confirm the enemy's identity.

"Black Kobolin!?"

Alexia had seen the enemy in the Union's information database.

Black Kobolin. It's a pretty evil monster equivalent to B-rank. It has a curved shamshir and wears black armor that seems quite defensive. It has a brutal personality, tires its opponents with its agile movements, and finally tosses them around and kills them.

"If just one ..."

Black Kobolin is certainly a B-rank monster. With equipment of her proper rank, she wouldn't stand a chance, but with her current equipment, she should be able to defeat it without any problems. Alexia, who has already been driven into having tunnel vision, chooses to fight as it is.

Alexia jumps around the corner quickly and runs at the Black Kobolin. The distance to the Black Kobolin is only a few meters. She closed the gap in an instant and attacked with her sword.

"Gugeee."

The Black Kobolin blocks Alexia's weapon and laughs.

"~ !?"

On the other hand, Alexia didn't think it could be stopped, and she was astonished. However, she quickly recovers and continues to attack, repeating a series of attacks.

-Kinkinkiin

However, the Black Kobolin prevented all her attacks.

"Kuu."

Alexia pastes a provoking expression on her face.

"Gugegegegeee."

The Black Kobolin laughed in amusement.

"You!"

Alexia, who was annoyed by the laughter, continued to attack, but all of her attacks were dealt with by the Black Kobolin.

"Why is this?"

Alexia couldn't understand.

She was sure she had enough equipment to compete with monsters of this rank.

She thought so, but the result is otherwise. It should have been, but there was too much difference in how they use their power between the Black Kobolin, who originally had B-rank physical ability, and Alexia, who is fighting by forcibly increasing her ability and fighting in an unfamiliar state.

That's why Alexia's attack with unnecessary power could be prevented.

"Gugee!"

This time, the Black Kobolin launches an offensive against Alexia as it was.

"Fast!?"

Alexia defends against the blade that seems to attack indefinitely. She was distracted by the approaching blade and didn't even notice the reaction of her accessory.

Alexia, who was pushed back to the crossroads, felt desperate when she saw a new Black Kobolin coming from the way she came.

"Withdrawal ..."

However, the passage where she originally entered is blocked. There is no choice but to follow the road on the left side of the crossroads.

"In such a case!!"

Alexia uses the withdrawal disturbance items she bought for emergencies. It was a tool that had the effect of making the enemy paralyzed for a certain period of time as well as generating smoke. She slammed it on the ground to generate smoke, and Alexia glanced towards the back of the passage on the left.

She missed the ugly distorted face of the Kobolin, who was stuck in the smoke.

"If you come here ..."

The passage that she escaped to was a straight road, and beyond that there was a slightly open dome-like space.

-Click

However, the moment she stepped into that space, she could feel the feeling of something being pressed from her feet. The entrance was blocked and Alexia was trapped.

A number of shining magic circles appear on the ground of the confined space, and Black Kobolins appear one after another as if they grew there.

"Hiii."

Alexia was frightened by the sight.

The number of Black Kobolins far exceeded fifty, and it was a despair that could never be defeated by an E-rank explorer who only used equipment that raised their power to the equivalent of B-rank.

The Black Kobolins' eyes shone brilliantly like a child with a new toy being presented to them, with a ferocious smile.

I can't give up in a place like this!!

Alexia inspires herself and attacks the nearby Black Kobolin.

"Guu."

However, another individual hit her from the side and she rolled to the ground.

Her body doesn't move like she wanted, probably because it was a clean hit.

I end here.

Alexia realized that and couldn't get up. What comes to her mind at such a time is the face of Shinji Saotome who gave her advice.

""Gyagyagyagyagyagyaaa""

Around Alexia is a horde of Black Kobolins ridiculing her.

Oh, I was stupid. I was impatient and died in a place like this, I don't know what I was trying to do. I was going to go to those people who are waiting for me, but before that I died.

With regret, tears overflow from Alexia's eyes.

If I had listened to the advice at that time, this would not have happened. Even though he warned me, I didn't listen, so I took it as a joke and ignored it. It's my own business ...

When Alexia remembered, there were other people who advised her. However, she ignored their feelings and went ahead. That karma has arrived.

A Black Kobolin arrives in front of the collapsed Alexia, what passes in front of Alexia is a brutal smile that is licking it's lips.

"Someone help ..."

Alexia knew she didn't have that qualificiation, but she couldn't help but pray.

-Dooooooooon

Perhaps the wish came true, the closed entrance was blown away along with the wall, and the Black Kobolins who were nearby were also caught up in it and flew together through the air.

"It's here! The room for bonus time is!!"

As someone enters the room, he shouts with high tension. And that voice was certainly familiar to Alexia.

When the dusty smoke cleared, a lone young man stood there. Her classmate, the classmate who seemed weak and was actually strong, who caused her to become impatient, a student in the same dormitory, a boy whose relationship with her was just that, Satou Fuhito was screaming with a doya face.

That Fuhito was definitely the girl's savior.

"Hahaha!! It's awesome!!"

-Paaan

-Paaan

-Paaan

-Paaan

-Paaan

"Ha ha ha, look! The Black Kobos look like garbage!! Ha ha ha!"

Normally, Alexia doesn't look at him, but he destroys the Black Kobolins that are gathering in front of her. Alexia couldn't understand the sight in front of her. For some reason, when Fuhito approached the Black Kobolins, the just burst without a trace.

"Hey, good, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

In just a few minutes, Fuhito annihilated the Black Kobolins in the room, stuffed the magic stones into a huge backpack and left without noticing Alexia.

"Was saved?"

Alexia was stunned for a while, but finally realized that she was saved after rebooting.

"Request."

Having learned the dangers of doing everything alone, Alexia decides to ask Fuhito for help the next time she meets. He will surely be able to take her to those who are alive and waiting.

"Go home."

Alexia decided to return to the dormitory as soon as possible and carefully followed her original path. However, she didn't see any monsters on her way home.
