Episode 504 Tesshin's Intuition

Tesshin and his team decided to camp near the entrance to the 20th layer. Looking at the desolate land ahead, Tesshin and his team thought it would take some time to find the middle boss's room in this large area.

'There seem to be a lot of lizard demons in this area.'

Yes, that's right. There are also Iron Lizards, so be careful. We'll go ahead then."

　Yuzuki and the others were in a hurry to move on, so we parted ways at this point.

　Once the Iron Heart team was alone, they began to prepare for encampment.

Where is the "Middle Boss Room?"

　Noda asked the question while preparing dinner.

There are several caves in the mountains to the right. It is said that one of them may be connected to the middle boss room."

　Tesshin gave the information he got from Yuzuki.

'So you're going to check out that mountain?'

I could look into it, but I have a feeling it would be a bonehead job."

　Noda looks at Tesshin with a look of greatness.

"Whoa, you have an idea?"

I don't think so. It's my wild guess."

　Noda slumps his shoulders and lets out a sigh. He knows that Tesshin's intuition only comes true occasionally.

　On that day, he rests with the shadow puppet of his iron heart on guard.

　The next morning, Tesshin and his team proceeded not toward the mountains, but into the wilderness to their left. For now, they decided to trust Tesshin's intuition.

　The scenery remains the same whether we walk or not. We sometimes encountered Iron Lizard, but Tesshin killed it with "Crash Ball" and "Crash Sword".

I don't see anything that looks like it.

I guess so. It's all rocks and stones. Mr. Tesshin, I think your intuition is off."

　Tesshin became reluctant. He was just beginning to think he might be an outlier.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

　As they were wondering whether to turn back or not, Iron Lizard appeared in front of Tesshin and the others.

This time, leave it to us."

　Takeda said so and pulled out his sword, a magic weapon with "doubled potency," and readied it. Matsuyama and Noda also readied their weapons in the same manner.

　The magical weapons Takeda and his team have are of the warrior class, the lowest rank of magical weapons. They can still inflict damage on the Iron Lizard, but they are not powerful enough to inflict a fatal wound with a single blow.

　Takeda and his team ran around and attacked, inflicting numerous wounds on the Iron Lizard, but were unable to defeat it. Tesshin thought that he would need a better magic weapon to operate in the advanced dungeon.

　At that moment, I felt something stuck and Tesshin tilted his head to see what it was... I activated the "sensing zone" to increase the sensitivity of the D-particle sensor.

　Then the sharpened D-particle sensor detected what looked like an underground passage.

This is ......."

　Tesshin thought it might be an underground passageway leading to the middle boss's room and carefully probed it. As a result, he noticed that the underground passage was sloping.

　Turning toward the direction where the underground passage became shallower, he saw a large rock in the shape of a cylinder. By this time, Takeda and the others who had finally killed the Iron Lizard were gathering around Tesshin.

Tessin, is something wrong?"

　Noda wonders about Tesshin, who stands motionless, and asks, "What happened to him?

There's an underground passageway down here.

"Are you sure it's the mid-boss's room?"

　Tesshin nodded and went to a large rock in the shape of a cylinder and began to examine the large rock. Upon closer inspection, he found what looked like a lever on the surface of the rock. It was absurdly unnatural, but no one seemed to have noticed it before.

　Noda also noticed the lever and pulled it after getting everyone's approval. Then, part of the large rock dropped down as if sucked into the ground, and a hole opened.

Tesshin's intuition was right. Amazing."

　Noda seemed surprised that Tesshin's intuition, which only comes true on rare occasions, was correct. Looking inside, they saw a staircase, and Tesshin and the others descended the stairs and proceeded down a subterranean passageway. The sloping passage was about 500 meters long.

　At the end of the hall was a large door.

Is it the mid-boss room?"

　Takeda looked a little nervous. I thought Tesshin might be too, so I nodded as I stared at the door.

　Each of us picked up a weapon, prepared to fight, and opened the door. It was, after all, the middle boss's room. Inside was an eight-meter-long Red Cyclops.

A bright red Cyclops. It's the same size as a regular Cyclops."

　The red cyclops had a golden club that matched its size, a large mouth and two long fangs. When it noticed Tesshin and the others, it raised its club and attacked.

Spread out!"

　The Tesshin team runs off in pieces, while the Red Cyclops takes aim at Noda and swings its golden rod down on him.

"Oh, my God, why me!"

　Noda, running around, seems to be doing his best just to escape. Tesshin tries to get behind the Red Cyclops and release a "crash ball".

　However, Red Cyclops noticed and turned around, swinging the golden rod toward Tesshin. The golden rod passed in front of Tesshin, who jumped back in a panic, and hit the ground with a roar that sounded like an explosion.

　Thanks to this, the scattered earth and sand fell all over Tesshin's body.

Oooh, petch."

　Spitting out the sand in his mouth, Tesshin counterattacked with the "flying thrust" of his divine spear Geiassar. Red Cyclops used his gold bar as a shield to defend against it.

　Takeda and his team are running around and attacking Red Cyclops' legs, but they don't seem to do much damage. The Red Cyclops' skin is tougher than expected.

　It seems that Red Cyclops decided that it was Tesshin who should be defeated first. He must have intuited that only Tesshin had the strength to defeat him with a single blow.

　Takeda and his men were heading toward them. Red Cyclops swung his golden club as if to reave them. Takeda and the others hurriedly avoided it, and Tesshin activated his "Crash Ball" and released a D-particle vibration ball.

　The Red Cyclops, which hurriedly dodged, ran and leapt toward Tesshin. A huge body descended from directly above Tesshin. Tesshin activated his "catapult" and threw the body to the right.
