Episode 79 Teamwork

While Kurotsuki was battling the KingSnake, Kizaki's team passed them. Yukari nodded when she saw that the KingSnake had been killed. Amane stood next to her and talked to her in a low voice.

"Yukari, how was Kurotsuki-senpai, whom you admire?"

Yukari's face turned quizzical.

"I think he's amazing, but I don't think he's as attractive as before."

"Why?"

"Compared to Grimm-sensei, I feel like he lacks impact."

Amane laughed after hearing that. Kurotsuki returned and called out to Alisa and the others.

"Alright, let's go."

ALisa felt that it would have been quicker for everyone to sack hit it. However, it was true that she was able to preserve her magical power, so she decided not to think about it too much.

"Kurotsuki-senpai, have you ever defeated the Dungeon Boss here?"

"No, the Dungeon Boss here is the QueenTurtle, a monster with high defensive power, but almost no offensive power, so I wasn't interested."

In order to defeat the QueenTurtle, it was said that offensive magic must be at least 'Prominence Nova', which couldn't be learned until magic level 9 was reached. By the way, it seemed that the boss drop was also poor.

"Heee, that kind of monster is the Dungeon Boss. If it's Kurotsuki-senpai, you can defeat the QueenTurtle with 'Prominence Nova', right?"

"Of course."

"In that case, we have to hurry. The Phyllis team overtook us."

"T, tell me that sooner."

Alisa and the others hurriedly passed through the 5th floor and descended to the 6th floor.

There was no map from there. Also, the 6th layer was a maze. Just because they went down to the 6th floor first didn't mean they could reach the boss room first.

That's why Alisa and the others didn't panic even if the Phyllis team went first.

"Alisa, please."

Chika's voice was requesting'Sensing Zone'. It was a magic that made you feel the movement of D-Particles, but depending on how you used it, you could also use it to investigate a maze.

Alisa was good at 'Sensing Zone'. At this time, even if they remembered the same Life Magics, their strengths and weaknesses would differ.

Chika was good at 'Blade', and Amane was good at 'Javelin'. 'Thunder Bowl' and 'Thunder Arrow' were in a state of there being no difference.

Alisa used 'Sensing Zone' to explore the movement of the D-Particles. Alisa began to create a map of the maze while sensing the D-Particles within a radius of 20 meters.

"This way."

Alisa took the lead and started walking. It didn't mean that she could see the whole maze, but she could see the passages that were dead ends by the movement of the D-Particles.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

Kurotsuki confirmed with Chika with an unconvinced face.

"No problem. Alisa has the best D-Particle sensing ability and memory among us. A maze map should be starting to be drawn in her head."

Nase, who remembered the map of the maze, was surprised to see Alisa avoiding a dead end.

"Oi, oi, what kind of magic are you using?"

Amane turned around and answered.

"It's a secret."

Inside the maze, they encountered a SmallGolem. It was a kind of rock golem, but it was called a SmallGolem because it was only about 160 centimeters tall.

A normal rock golem was about two and a half meters in size, so a rock golem about 160 centimeters tall was called a SmallGolem. Since it moved slowly, you rarely received attacks, but it was a monster that was surprisingly sturdy.

"It's a troublesome monster. You can't defeat it with a weapon. Use Attack Magic."

Kurotsuki attacked with 'Crash Bullet'. A crushing magic bullet hit the SmallGolem's chest and exploded. A crack was created in the monster's chest.

"Aim for that crack."

Alisa gave them instructions. Amane shot a QuintArrow towards its chest. The blow pierced the golem's chest, but it wasn't fatal.

Alisa pushed the SmallGolem with a QuintPush. Chika slammed a QuintBlade into the chest of the golem that fell backwards. The blow made the crack in the chest bigger, and finally Yukari hit it with a 'Crash Bullet' to kill it.

Nase, who was watching the battle, applauded in his heart when he saw Alisa and the others' movements that demonstrated exquisite teamwork to defeat the monster. It was such a splendid co-op play.

Kurotsuki was thinking about Alisa and the others who had defeated the enemy he thought would delay them in an instant. If there was such teamwork in his first team, no one would have been injured.

After exploring the maze on the 6th floor, they arrived in front of the boss room in about two hours. It was astonishingly fast.

"Congratulations. You guys seem to be the first ones."

Nase congratulated them.

Kurotsuki had a slightly complicated expression on his face. The reason they were able to arrive so quickly was not because of his own strength, but because of Alisa and the others.

The entrance to the boss room was a long narrow passage. Alisa and the others put everything they didn't need for battle in front of the passage before entering the boss room. They put their luggage down to let other teams know they were in battle.

"QueenTurtle, huh. It must be a big turtle."

Amane happily raised her voice.

After entering the boss room, Alisa and the others looked around.

"Strange. There's no QueenTurtle."

Alisa pointed to the far right corner of the boss room.

"Be careful, there's something over there."

Everyone's gazes turned to the direction Alisa was pointing at. It wasn't the QueenTurtle that emerged from there.

"HighGoblin? No, that's a GoblinLord."

Kurotsuki raised a loud voice in surprise. Nase, the observer, also had their face stiffen.

"What does this mean? I've never heard of a GoblinLord being a Dungeon Boss."

Alisa and the others readied their weapons. They hadn't fought a Goblin Lord, but they had heard from Grimm how to fight the GoblinKing. Using that as a reference, they thought they could defeat the GoblinLord.

"Everyone, you understand, right."

At Alisa's voice, the three people who could use 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield' activated them and stepped forward.

In Kurotsuki's mind, the GoblinKing he fought in the Suigetsu Dungeon popped into his mind.

"No. You guys should stay back. I'll beat it here."

Alisa glared at Kurotsuki with a sharp gaze.

"Kurotsuki-senpai, you're looking down on us. This guy is a GoblinLord, not a GoblinKing."
