World's Fastest Level up! - Chapter 148

And the next day too, my god-speed leveling up continued smoothly. And thanks to the extreme increase of my status, it became easier and easier for me to defeat the High Ogre.

In the midst of my continuous battle against the High ogre, a conversation I had with Claire the other day emerged in my mind. There were two sentences of her’s that have been lingering in my mind since that day.

The first one is something that Claire said right after I told her the reason why I became an adventurer.

『I’ve heard from Yui-san and Rei-san that both of them have been helped by you, and they felt really grateful for that. It’s the same for Yagami-san yesterday. I think you have already achieved that goal.』

『…. I wonder if that’s true』

『Ee, I am sure it is true. And I wish, at the end of that goal, I too, will….』

To this day, I’m still wondering what she tried to say after that. What did she wish for me to do, after I became stronger and able to protect my loved ones?

And there is actually something that I was more interested in than that. It was about the answer she gave me when I asked her why she became an adventurer.

『To protect, everything— Because that is my duty.』

She didn’t say dream nor goal, but mission, which I still didn’t know the reason for even now. The only thing I know is her words about how someone with great power like her has an obligation to protect others, is by no means ordinary. Or at least, that’s how I felt.

I still didn’t know the reason why she wanted strength that much, or how did she have that much power. If I could reach that level, would I be able to understand it? I wondered.

Until now, I’ve only been single-mindedly looking for strength. And I still don’t understand why such a me was thinking about one person this much. However, it is an undeniable fact that her existence occupies a part of my thoughts.

In order to find out why I’m not even aware of that reason, I am certain that I have to catch up to her.

That’s why I will continue to level-up.

It is the sixth day since I started my solo capture. Approximately on my 40th battle against the extra boss. In front of me, stood the High Ogre, brandishing the huge sword in its hand.

Confronting that, I neither run nor hide. Just like the High Ogre, I held the Nameless with both hands and prepared to intercept it head-on.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

The two blades swung and silvery white light interlaced. The conclusion of their clash merely took a moment.

The moment the two blades collided with each other, unable to withstand the pressure, the center of the huge sword broke, causing the broken parts to fly in the air. But that still couldn’t stop the momentum of Nameless, as it continued to tear apart the body of the High Ogre and even its magic stone in one swing.
