Before heading from the 30th floor to the 31st floor.

Clara, seeing the wounded Rohan, finally made up her mind and confessed something.

“Brother. Actually, I···.”

Clara revealed to Rohan and Sion the real weapon she possessed.

Rohan never mentioned it specifically, but it was something we knew from the beginning.

Zion also had an inkling from their brief standoff in the Academy dormitory that Clara’s real weapon was neither a dagger nor a pistol.

Just like Ichinose Yui has Yoru and Noah Frozenheart has Fimbulvetr.

Clara also has a special weapon.

“Sorry for telling you late··· I didn’t mean to hide it···.”

“I’m glad that Clara told me that. Don’t say that.”

This is definitely not an empty promise.

Rohan felt growth and gratitude towards Clara who volunteered to tell the story.

Because the reason I revealed my secret was because I was worried about myself. Who can say anything about that?

“Clara. Is this something I can hear?”

It was a question from Zion, who had been watching quietly.

Clara nodded shyly at that story, and Zion smiled back at her with a sense of joy welling up in his chest.

The distance between the two narrowed as they fought each other in the dungeon.

That makes Rohan happier.

“Let’s go up.”

“Ah, yeah···!”

I don’t need to say anything about why I didn’t use the great weapon early on. Clara’s story was the same in Abyss City.

The weapon has great range and attack power, but the amount of magic power consumed just to operate it is enormous.

So, given Clara’s personality, she must have been worried that she would become a burden to the group due to her magical powers running out.

‘It was a situation where the battle would continue for a long time from the beginning. They probably didn’t feel the need to bring it up.’

But that is the girl’s identity and her distinguishing characteristic.

Clara was a dealer known for her ability to instantly produce bizarre DPS based on those points. It was also a problem that could be filled depending on the setting and growth.

‘Can I finally see it for myself?’

Rohan felt as excited as a child before battle.

I was able to forget the pain that was coming from the excitement of my pounding heart.

[⸌_⸍] [⸌_⸍] [⸌_⸍] [⸌_⸍]

The monster that successfully protected the monolith expressed its anger through television.

The thorny vines that were swaying become erect and ready to attack.

With him ───Kooong! Rohan and Sion’s kicks blew the doors apart one by one, widening the field of vision.

A room with a boss monster and a monolith.

There is no option to enter there politely.

“Let’s go. We should go home.”

“Yeah!”

“Good.”

As soon as they entered, Rohan took the lead and dyed his dagger red.

Heat ripples across the blade, sending up misty clouds.

Everyone knows what they have to do.

Pavababak! The vines swayed and rushed in.

A gap in the dense thorny vines that extends forward for attack.

Crunch!

Zion’s gun was pointed at the television expressing his emotions.

The pistol fired bullets loaded with properties, with a burst of electricity.

Got it! Bang! Bang! Bang! Taang!

If you can’t pack all your magic into a bullet, you can just split it into chunks and shoot it out.

Zion continued to fire, demonstrating his ability to channel his magical power right up until the moment when his pistol and bullets would explode.

[ㅜ_ㅜ] [ㅜ_ㅜ] [ㅜ_ㅜ] [ㅜ_ㅜ]

The monster’s expression changed as if it was in pain, and it knocked pieces off the perforated display.

“It works well.”

How could he stop at something like that? Zion changed his magazine while avoiding the thorns targeting him.

Rohan avoids the vines pouring down on him and slashes them away with his dagger.

He reached out with the blue potion in his mouth. He grabbed the thorn vine without hesitation.

Just as I was about to use Weakness Granting while ignoring the fact that my hand was pierced, the boss monster was startled and took back the vines.

‘also.’

Guys of this level notice the anomaly. People and monsters alike.

Rohan dashed forward, shaking off the thorn-pierced hole in his left hand that was dripping with blood.

Zion fired again at a perfect time, and at the moment when the vines shrank, he grabbed one of the thorny vines and stuck it in his left side, making it impossible for him to pull it out.

Even though I focused my magic power on strengthening my body, I still felt the pain of my side being cut by a blade.

Check the status window at the same time.

‘Stamina is 71%. Status is bleeding.’

Pain is something you just have to endure. Since I am certain that death is still a long way away, this is still okay.

[?] [?] [?] [?]

To the monster who questions with a broken television.

Rohan poured out his magic power.

‘Granting weakness.’

More than 70% of the magic power filled with rest is lost in an instant.

At the same time, he felt dizzy and had a headache, but Rohan regained his senses by savoring the bitter taste of the potion in his mouth.

[ Grants the target a physical attribute weakness. ]

He threw away the thorns he was holding onto at his side and jumped backwards, gaining some distance.

‘To this extent, it’s better than expected.’

It’s enough that I didn’t lose consciousness like I did when I tried to do it to the main character. I’m satisfied with the fact that it was granted.

I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect, but the potion makes the floor shake a little. It’s bearable.

“Clara.”

A girl who had cut off a thorny vine as big as an elephant’s leg landed next to Rohan.

Clara frowned and pursed her lips as she saw Rohan’s wounds.

“Please. Give me a lesson.”

“Yeah···! I’ll mess with you!”

Clara’s gentle eyes grew tense with anger.

He hid the pistol and the balisong he was holding in his hand inside his clothes. Then he took out something that looked like a pitch-black cylinder.

The object that Zion first saw and mistook for a pistol silencer.

Although it was a cylinder, its thickness was only about the width of two fingers combined, but the object began to take shape as it consumed Clara’s magic power.

“···Arachne.”

The object was not a silencer, but a spool of black thread.

The threads imbued with Clara’s magic spread out in all directions like spider webs.

Pasa sak!

Dozens of vines were cut off at once and fell to the ground.

Pot! Zion changed the magazine and settled down next to Rohan and Clara.

“What a wonderful power.”

“Right? This is what our Clara is like.”

When Rohan spoke as if he was proud of him, Zion snickered and told him to start by stopping the bleeding.

Clara blushed and wiggled her fingers at Rohan’s words.

“···Brother. Take the potion and wait a moment.”

The completely unraveled thread is tied to Clara’s finger like a ring.

The girl’s slender fingers and magical power delicately manipulate the thread.

Once again, the thorns surge in like waves and whip like whips.

As Clara moved her hand, they fell to the floor with a thud.

No matter how thick the vine is, it still has a weakness.

It was originally not capable of withstanding Clara’s attacks, but now that it has been given a weakness, it must feel like cutting tofu to Clara.

widely!

Clara kicked the floor and jumped up, sitting on the string that was connected to the air.

It looks like it’s floating in the air.

The sight that Rohan caught looking up at was Clara’s thighs pressed against the thread.

“···.”

A girl sitting on a chair moves her hands while observing the overall situation.

Move your fingers gracefully as if you were playing the piano.

Here and there, threads began to flash and connect.

“Zion. The Monolith will be exposed soon. Get ready.”

“···Okay.”

Rohan woke up Zion, who was blankly watching Clara’s movements.

I started reading the situation.

There is a particularly distinctive quality to the threads Clara handles.

The sharpness and cutting power that are not inferior to those of other famous swords, and the elasticity that cannot be cut with mediocre strength.

There, Clara’s Arachne feeds on the user’s magic and even creates various poisons on its own.

“Spider silk.”

Clara had the threads attached to her hands and feet.

I fell out of the room I was sitting in, lying face down.

The fall of the girl with magical powers acts as a weight.

The unfurled thread tightened around the monster at once.

Kkwudduk!!!

Hundreds of thorny vines were tied together with thin threads and cut off at once. It was a spectacular sight.

[X_X] [X_X] [X_X] [X_X]

The expression on the TV screen changed. The plants became withered and drooped.

Zion assumed that the boss was dead, just like the monsters they had seen so far.

I pulled the trigger through the gap where the monolith was visible.

bang!

Can you do it on one foot?

Ta-da-da-da!

Zion emptied his magazine in an instant.

[Monolith Legal Demolition! – Achievement Achieved.]

[You will receive 50P as an achievement reward.]

“It’s broken.”

Rohan’s voice confirming the achievement. Zion stopped shooting.

The monolith was smashed to pieces, cracking and smashing cleanly.

“Whew, is this really the end?”

Zion exhaled and put the gun away.

“Sleep···!”

Rohan opened his eyes wide and moved.

It was too late to say it in words, so I did it unconsciously.

Because the boss monster hasn’t given points to Rohan yet.

Phew─!

The final thorn the boss held in his arms. His last struggle before death.

A thorn, no different from a harpoon, was fired silently toward Zion.

Rohan rushed to strike down the thorn, but the lack of magical power and his urgency made it impossible to get into a proper stance, which caused the anomaly.

Phew!

Rohan’s right arm was severed and fell to the ground along with the dagger.

“Ah, was that a waste?”

Rohan smiled as he saw Zion holding a three-sectioned staff, perhaps trying to counterattack even if it was late.

As expected, you have good skills.

“You···!”

Zion held his breath and looked at Rohan’s blown shoulder.

I had the impression that this was the first time I had seen Zion’s face so shocked.

Clara landed next to him, staggering from exhaustion.

Clara froze as she saw Rohan’s flying arm.

[+10P]

Only then did the points for defeating the boss come in without me noticing.

at the same time.

[Gardener’s Final Pruning – Achievement Achieved.]

[You will receive 50P as an achievement reward.]

[Pulling Annoying Weeds – Achievement Achieved.]

Traces of the first capture of a plant-type boss.

The achievements that had been achieved poured down before Rohan’s eyes.

[We are a community of shared destiny – Achievement achieved.]

[You will receive 30P as an achievement reward.]

[Perfect Survival – Achievement achieved.]

[You will receive 30P as an achievement reward.]

[The Lost Tourist’s First Success Story – Achievement Accomplished.]

The world began to fall apart.

In the empty sky──Crack! The fake sun that had been emitting nothing but heat is shattered as a crack appears.

There is no reason to be afraid of this mysterious and inexplicable situation.

Because Rohan and his party unconsciously realize that through this process they will return to their original place.

What scared Zion and Clara was Rohan’s condition.

“Rohan! I’m being careless···! I’ll take you to the hospital as soon as I get there···!”

“Brother···! Don’t lose your mind! Got it!”

Rohan, who was trying to comfort the two girls who were in a panic, fell to the ground with the strength leaving his legs.

I tried to calm her down and tell her that it was okay, but her body wouldn’t move the way I wanted it to. Her head was also dizzy due to the blood loss from the battle.

‘It hurts.’

The pain of amputation has been there several times in the past, but it is not something you get used to.

The broken world swirls.

And then it collapses.

[Quest completed.]

[Receive rewards.]

[Clear rewards are distributed according to contribution.]

[Party full recovery is performed.]
