Chapter 133
Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Weasalopes”
A new character entered the arena .
This one also wasn’t an opponent to charge at me right away .
A monster that looked like a fusion of a human and a lizard slowly approached me with a sword in its right hand .
A lizardman .
Covered in scarlet scales and with two horns growing from its lizard head it had some resemblance of a dragon .
Naked above the waist he wore baggy trousers . His physique wasn’t that different from mine .
【Appraisal】doesn’t work this time as well . Unlucky .
However, he had that air of the strong about him, so he should be quite skilled .
The weapon…… Eeh? I feel like I already saw it somewhere . I immediately appraise it .
The name is Growing Sword . Skills 【Strong Edge】, 【Blade of Destruction】,【Enduring Blade S】,【Blazing Blade】,【Slashing Wave】 .
「Isn’t that Unnamed?! Why are you here!」
I asked, but Unnamed didn’t reply . And he was so noisy on the 12th floor .
Could it be that he has no consciousness anymore?
Or rather, why the lizardman has that swordーー Ah, that’s how it is .
It really bugged me on the 12th floor .
Why a weapon that can grow so strong by merely cutting enemies, was given to me, a challenger .
So the goal was to make a challenger cultivate a weapon, collect it and then let the lizardman use it .
I feel somewhat betrayed . It stings my heart .
The lizardman’s glare changed which became an abrupt start of a deathmatch .
As the lizardman swung Unnamed horizontally it emitted a slashing wave .
「I was the one who made you learn that move though!」
Complaining, I evade it .
Since【Slashing Wave】comes one after another, I end up running around the arena .
I wonder if I can take back the weapon?
Without that all-purpose sword, that’s equally effective both at distance and in close quarters, the fight would be a lot easier .
I guess I’ll focus on evading, for now, aiming at it running out of stamina .
「……Shuuu . 」
The lizardman breathes a sigh, silently, yet clearly showing signs of anger . Stopping with ranged attacks, it used the blazing blade .
Parrying【Blazing Blade】means the possibility of being set ablaze, so I would prefer to avoid that . And even without the flames, there is still【Blade of Destruction S】 .
With S rank it might easily break my weapon .
I guess I’ll stick to blocking it with the sturdy Champion’s Shield and countering with magic .
Reading the opponent’s movements I guard with the shield .
The lizardman was skilled with a sword, his movements resembled those of someone who trained with it since a tender age .
For a while, it turned in a completely defensive battle for me, but finding a chance, I countered with【Purple Lightning】during a big swing .
The effective range is 3 meters, so it can be easily used in close combat .
「Ugaah……」
Since the enemy received the electric shock, I use this chance to ram the lizardman with the shield . Next, I use my sword to slash off the opponent’s right hand . Its sword fell to the ground along with it .
Since the lizardman was still stunned by the pain, I put away the shield and picked up Unnamed .
「Nice, this is a game-changer . 」
During that moment of negligence, the lizardman attacked me with the tail, aiming right at my heart . I barely managed to backstep in time .
Phew, that was close .
Lizards can grow back lost tails, but this lizardman went even further than that .
A new arm grew right away . Liquid-like strings rushed to the ground as if pulled to it by something, forming a new arm .
Left without a weapon, the lizardman, for some reason, instead of attacking me, dashed towards a boulder on the arena and pulverized it .
「That’s a terrific ramming attack……」
If it hits me, I might die .
And back to why the lizardman did that, it seems that it wanted some stones .
Picking one that fit in its hand, the lizardman then threw it at me in a swift motion .
「Ha?」
*ーClang*
The repelled stone flew towards the audience . Raising Unnamed by reflex, I accidentally managed to block the stone .
A complete fluke . The lizardman’s throw was that powerful . I also have【Throwing B】, but he was clearly way above me .
Undoubtedly he has either A or S .
Once again I pull out the shield and cover behind it . Since there was nothing special about those stones, I endured through this and used【Slashing Wave】from Unnamed to counterattack .
「Gyah?!」
One of the attacks hit, slashing the lizardman in two .
I didn’t want something like it growing the lower half to happen, so activating 【Blazing Blade】I slashed off its head .
「Phew, this time I hope it’s over . 」
Falling onto my backside I make a weak complaint . If the fourth enemy comes, I guess I’ll just run away .
But what if I’ll have to do this all over again the next time I come……
But those fears proved to be pointless . The host shouted in a vexed voice .
「This is the worst! To think such a brat would kill all of our champions . Can such a thing even be allowed!? But I will open the gate since I don’t want to get killed myself . 」
The path to my goal opened . There also were no signs of a possible riot among the audience .
I’ll be on my way while they still haven’t changed their mind .
And while I tried a stealthy getaway, a sight completely unfit for a winner, that annoying host began shouting once again . What is it this time!
「Thi-this is bad! This is really bad!」
*BOOM*
A roaring sound akin to that of falling lightning . But instead of a natural phenomenon, a black crack appeared in an empty space .
In the blink of an eye, it spread, revealing a pitch-black dimension, then, something riding a red horse appeared from there .
The horse was a fine specimen with a splendid physique, but all my attention went to what was straddling on it .
A man with long black hair . But due to his completely red eyes, one can tell that is not a human .
Clad in armor with no helmet .
The basic color is black, but here and there it’s ornamented with gold . The defense power seems high . The weapon is a spear, once again, black .
「Strong one . Where are you……」
The voice startled me .
I was too focused on appearance, but I have to hurry up and confirm his abilities .
Name: Black Lancer
Level: 666
Skills: Thrust of Annihilation, Hidden Thrust, Spear Throw S, Overall Magic Resistance B .
The only option here is wail in despair .
So the dangerous creature mentioned by Dori-chan is this guy .
You won’t know the outcome unless you try to fight, but with his stats, I don’t feel like I have any chance .
Naturally, Black Lancer is looking for me…… It is what I thought, but he went towards the screaming audience .
His steed easily jumped over the wall, after which he proceeded to stab those running away into their backs .
「What is that?!」
「I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die yetー」
The host was completely out of his mind . As he ran around in a panic, a thrown spear pierced through his head .
With that magnificent spear throw, I can’t help but admire him, despite him being my enemy . I mean, he was at the most outer tier of audience seats and still managed to hit .
Black Lancer sent his horse into a gallop, rushing this way .
「He that fights and runs away may live to fight another day . 」
I told myself and dashed towards the passage .
Black Lancer pulled the spear from the host’s head and rushed at me at full speed . The entrance to the passage is right there . I have to make it in time . I’ll die if I don’t!
Entering the passage I spot the sight of the stair further down the corridor .
At the same time, I felt behind me an intense bloodthirst, which made all of the hair on my body stand .
「Cowards will have no escape . 」
I blocked the spear thrown from horseback with the flat side of Unnamed .
*CLANG*
An abnormal sound rang, but I wanted to believe .
Since it had【Enduring Blade S】that I created, it shouldn’t break .
But my empty hopes were shattered along with the weapon .
The shockwave knocked me off my feet, sending me tumbling on the floor . The head was spinning, but the only thought in my mind was that I have to run away no matter what I do .
Catching the glances of the stairs at the edge of my vision I adjust my posture and just dash there with all I’ve got .
「…So you are not a weak one . 」
I felt like I heard such a mutter . Perhaps it was nothing but my imagination .
Anyway, I reached the stair and managed to escape to the 14th floor .
Upon descending the stairs I ended up in a room with huge doors, but this time I couldn’t calmly inspect it .
Black Lancer also appeared on the floor with Dori-chan .
In other words, he had no restrictions and could appear anywhere .
Naturally, he also should be able to climb down the stairs after me .
Since the floor was now marked as visited, I immediately used Dungeon Portal to return to the second floor . Barely escaping with my life .
