Chapter 202: Anemone

Like Goliath, whom Isao fought on the 17th Floor, Udaeus was the Monster Rex, a special monster that only spawned every three months.

Yet, unlike Goliath, the level of this monster was several times above it, and it was a monster that was defeated by Loki Familia too, three months ago, but unlike before, where they faced it with several people, this time, Aiz decided to face it alone.

The ground shook again and again, even stronger than before.

"It could not be.."

The floor dipped in the middle of the chamber the moment those words escaped Riveria's lips.

Then—

Crank!

The rock seemed to scream out in pain as a gigantic fissure opened on the floor.

The space shook even harder as the crevice expanded. New cracks shot out in all directions as far as they could see. A massive pitch-black body so large that they couldn't believe their eyes rose from the crevice and stretched far above their heads.

Pieces of rock fell off the body one after another, crumbling down in an avalanche of dust and soil. The room wouldn't stop shaking. The noise was deafening; each echoed a crushing blow to the ears until, finally, its emergence was complete.

They watched the pitch-black monster rear back to face the ceiling hidden in the darkness.

"—OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The enormous being, so big that even the female-figured monster that appeared in Rivira couldn't hold a candle to it, announced its birth with an especially tremendous roar. The overwhelmingly intimidating aura emanating from its body puts that octopus-like creature to shame.

It could be nothing else but a floor boss.

The Monster Rex resided on the 37th Floor of the dungeon.

Level Six, Udeaus.

"So then, three months have already passed..."

Physically, Udaues was a Kletmon monster, a spartoi that had just kept on growing. Every bone that composed its body was jet black. Just looking was enough to make an adventure fear being sucked in. At the same time, they gave off an eery and ominous sheen.

The beast itself was over ten meters tall despite its lower body remaining underground. The bones that made up its spine leaned forward, each of its many vertebrae swaying to and fro like they had a mind of their own. Its skull was adorned with two horns similar to an ogre's and small crimson flames flickering like eyes in deep sockets that were otherwise pitch black.

An unusually large and thick magic stone sat protected by its sternum and rib cage in the middle of its chest.

The dark purple crystal sparked exactly where the heart should be, but there were no organs to be seen on this floor.

More importantly, different from the previous Udaeus, from its joints of the black fingers curled around the top of the black bone and yanked it free—a sword.

This Udaeus held a sword!

Daphne and Cassandra were already frightened as they couldn't say anything.

"It's fine. You don't have to face this."

When Isao said so, he stood before them as if protecting them, which gave Daphne and Cassandra peace of mind.

"Aiz, are you sure that you want to fight it alone?" Riveria asked uneasily, as this Udaus was different from the previous one.

"Um." Aiz nodded. "I have to try the technique that I have developed with Isao first."

"You have?" Riveria looked at Aiz, then looked at Isao strangely. Their relationship was impossible to stop, and she knew each other well. Or rather, their relationship was far deeper than she had imagined.

"Believe in her."

Even though this monster was strong and even one level above Aiz, more importantly, as monsters usually are stronger than mere adventurers, it was so risky for her to fight it alone.

Yet, even if Isao hadn't faced this monster, he could see its many weaknesses.

First, it had a huge body, and second, it couldn't move.

For such a fierce technique, it had a cute name.

Only, the effect was distratious.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!

As the windstorm swung down, it razed everything.

The compressed blade was as sharp as the sharpest blade, and it had the impact of a powerful explosion.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!"

Udaeus screamed in horror and painfully as this technique ravaged its body.

On the other hand, Aiz thought that Isao was correct. Instead of trying to test the opponent's power, they fought slowly, and before the end, they used their strongest technique. It was better to end everything fast and just go all out in the beginning!

Still, it wasn't like she could use this technique on the Rivira as there were many of her friends, and she was afraid that they would be affected. More importantly, Revis' body wasn't as huge as Udaeus's, and Revis would probably dodge her technique.

However, for Udaeus, there wouldn't be any such problem.

The ground trembled, the entire dungeon shook, and Udaeus could only scream in horror as the wind destroyed everything.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Udaues raised its blade, but it kept being pushed before it could only let the wind destroy it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

The dust, gravel, and everything were mixed in the air.

As Isao, Daphne, and Cassandra defeated all the spartoi, the battle between Aiz and Udaues also ended with Aiz's victory.

Aiz panted, ragged, and breathed heavily as she used all of her magic, but then, soon, she sucked the wind on her surroundings and slowly recovered.

"...you can recover by using the wind, Aiz?" Riveria asked in a shocked tone.

"Um." Aiz nodded and said, "Isao told me."

"...." Riveria looked at Isao strangely, wishing to see what was on his head.

"Aiz, can I get the blade?" Isao asked, getting close to the Udaues, watching the large blade that dropped after the defeat of the gigantic skeleton monster.

"Um."

"I will make a sword for you with this."

"Really?"

"Yup."

Hearing his promise, Aiz smiled with anticipation.

Only, at this moment, was the quiet and happy moment destroyed by the croaky and unpleasant laugh.

"Gehahaha... it's amazing that you can defeat Udaeus, but you are as good as gone now."

"..."

As they turned, they saw a group of Amazoness led by an ugly, toad-like woman in full body armor.

"...Ishtar Familia?"

Riveria's expression became ugly as she was sure that they didn't come with good intentions.
