Episode 8 Dungeon Boss Gift

"Dangerous ..."

　I looked back. The giant wolf lying down stands up and stares at me.

　The intimidating feeling of the giant wolf was tremendous. My legs tremble involuntarily. The giant wolf ran towards me. I threw the backpack I was carrying on my back and greet it with a TriplePush.

　The giant wolf's head collides with the D-particle plate. The impact shattered the D-particle plate. The wolf shakes its head lightly, opens its huge mouth, and tries to bite my head.

　I immediately activate 'Swing' and hit it with the Keisaku Plate. The giant wolf jumped away after it hit its head with a 'Bachi'.

"No. I can't do enough damage to make a difference. Oh."

　I forgot that I was at magic level 4.

　The giant wolf roars near me, growling intimidatingly. The monster started running and attacked with the terrifying fangs lined up in its mouth.

　I activate the quadruple activation 'Swing'. The Keisaku Plate strikes at an unprecedented speed. The neck of the giant wolf was twisted and the giant fell sideways.

　This time it seems to have done a little damage. However, it is far from a fatal injury. I hurriedly approached and tried to thrust my hunting sword.

　At that time, the legs of the giant wolf kicked my body. I flew in the air for about 3 meters and rolled. I got up and jumped backwards. Huge fangs clashed with each other in the space where I was a moment ago.

　The belly that was kicked by the leg of a giant wolf hurts. It may have noticed the painful expression on my face. The monster pursued me. I use the quadruple activation 'Push' to push the giant wolf away and take a distance.

　I fought desperately, making full use of the quadruple activation 'Push' and 'Swing'. However, I am gradually cornered. I feel that quadruple activation takes longer than triple activation. Because of that, the counterattack is delayed for a moment.

　Thanks to that, I got wounds all over my body with its sharp claws. The giant wolf, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have suffered much damage. The resilience and toughness are different from humans.

　Is there something? If nothing is done, I will die.

　When I thought so, the giant wolf jumped at me. The wide open mouth was lined with sharp fangs, which seemed like a hole leading to hell.

　I would be shredded if it hit me, so I aimed at the wolf's mouth and cast the magic of 'Hole'. I was confused by fear, and I associated 'Hole' with the hole to hell.

　A ladle made of D-particles tries to dig into the mouth of a giant wolf. It's not magic that ends in one go. The ladle rampages in the mouth many times.

　The giant wolf forgets me and rolls around like crazy. It was my last chance. At the right time, I stabbed a hunting sword into the chest of a giant wolf. The blow pierces the wolf's heart. It was a miracle blow.

　The blow seems to have defeated the giant wolf. The giant body turned into particles of light and decomposed, leaving magic stones, goggles, and a scroll. And I felt something inside my body emit a thumping sound. The magic level of life magic has reached '5'.

　The moment I was relieved, pain ran all through my body. I thinks of doing wound treatment first, so I take medicine and bandages from my backpack. And I will do as much as I can. Then I looked to see what the giant wolf left behind.

"Why is it goggles?"

　I put on the goggles. The goggles are not transparent, they are like sticking smoke film, and they are made large so that they can be worn while wearing glasses.

　There was no band or string to fix it, and when I put it against my face, it stuck tightly. It doesn't fall even if I shake my head. There seems to be some special power.

　And it's bright even in a dim dungeon. It seems to be a magic tool that has a function like a night-vision scope of the visible light amplification method. When I try to remove it, I can easily remove it.

"Night vision goggles are convenient."

　It's convenient because there are dark places in the dungeon. I will wear it as it is.

　The next magic stone I picked up was a red one with a diameter of about 3 cm. Red magic stones are used as a magic battery for magic tools, and if it is this size, it will sell for about 500,000 yen.

　I put the red magic stone in the backpack and finally pick up the scroll. This scroll should contain some knowledge. I wanted to find out right away, but I was late to return, so I put it in my backpack and went home.

　Nothing happened up to the 4th layer, and I heard a woman screaming while going up to the 3rd layer and returning to the maze.

"Hmm, are there students diving in the dungeon at this time?"

　I hurried to the direction of the voice.

　A girl student was attacked by a Blue Lizard. I'm familiar with her. She is a first-year student I teach life magic to. I don't know why she's in the dungeon alone, but I have to help.

　I rushed with my hunting sword.

　　　◆◆ ◇◇ ◆◆ ◇◇ ◆◆

　 Mori Amane is a student of the Jibik Magic Academy. However, it is faster to count from the bottom in the academy ranking. The academy ranking is determined by the achievement level in the dungeon and the results of the practical test.

　Amane is a Bestowal Wizard and has a low attack power in actual battles. Therefore, the level of reaching the dungeon while solo is up to the third layer of the giant tree dungeon.

　Amane, who hates to lose, was training in the dungeon during the three consecutive holidays in an attempt to raise her ranking. But she struggled with the third layer Blue Lizard, and in the end she couldn't go down to the fourth layer.

　As the three consecutive holidays approached the end, the impatient Amane fought against the Blue Lizard without taking a sufficient break, and her weapon, a war hammer, was blown away by the tail of the Blue Lizard.

"I have to run away ..."

　Amane, who lost her weapon, screamed and ran away. However, she is caught up to by the Blue Lizard and is cornered in a dead end of the maze.

　Amane was terribly regretful. She thought she could capture at least as much as a beginner dungeon. She was shallow. She couldn't do it alone, even though she couldn't use much magic.

　The Blue Lizard approached. My legs trembled with fear. At that time, someone jumped in. The person thrust something like a large knife against the back of the Blue Lizard and did something.

　Then the knife began to slide into the blue lizard's body. Then, it pierces the heart of the Blue Lizard and kills it.

"Are you okay?"

　I'm familiar with that voice. Looking at their face, they wear goggles and I don't know who it is.

"Thank you. Well, who are you?"

　The person looked disappointed.

"The goggles. I don't know your face with goggles."

"Yes, I forgot."

　The person took off his goggles. Amane was surprised to see his face appearing from under the goggles.

"... Grimm-Sensei."
