I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 82

Chapter 82. Demon’s Flower (2)

Kazane-san’s [Windstorm] and Yuzuki’s [Explosion].

The two ranged attack magics exploded almost simultaneously, engulfing all five monsters.

[Explosion] was the first new magic that Yuzuki acquired when she reached level 21.

It’s a simple AOE attack magic that causes a large explosion at the target point and inflicts fire damage on a wide range of enemies, in simple terms, it was an upgraded version of [Burn Blaze].

It doesn’t appear in the skill tree unless [Burn Blaze] has been acquired.

The MP consumption is 11, more than double that of [Burn Blaze].

The power coefficient of [Explosion] was 1.6 compared to [Burn Blaze]’s 1.3.

Although it may seem inconspicuous. But when combined with Yuzuki’s exceptional magical power. It displayed tremendous firepower.

After the storm of blazing flames subsided, four of the five monsters — 2 sabertooth tigers and 2 madflowers — had completely disappeared and turned into magic stones.

“Alright, we took them all down! Just as planned!”

“We did our job, Senpai!”

“Good! Now, for the bonus. [Rock Bullet]!”

While waiting for the results, I also aimed my rock bullet at the boss and fired.

Although I intended to use it against any stray mobs if necessary, it was fortunate that we could defeat them solely with area-of-effect magic.

My [Rock Bullet] also hit demon’s flower.

It didn’t seem to cause significant damage, but that was just an extra attack from the beginning.

───Kehyahyahyahyahyahyah!

The massive body of demon’s flower approached at a terrifying speed.

Although it seemed indifferent to the fact that its subordinates were taken down in an instant, it was unclear if it had human-like thoughts or emotions, to begin with.

“Yuzuki, how’s its HP?”

“340! It’s down to about three-quarters!”

“Good! Kazane-san, let’s go for close combat!”

“Yeah!”

I kicked the ground together with Kazane-san, and we headed toward demon’s flower.

Due to the effect of the support magic [Quickness] that Kazane-san had cast, I was lighter than usual.

However, demon’s flower was not just on the receiving end.

A series of demon’s flower attacks came at us.

“Oops!”

Kazane-san skillfully evaded one of the attacks, which showed overwhelming reaction speed.

She swiftly dodged the sharp vine attack that came slashing toward us.

It was an extraordinary speed and agility in evading.

Kazane-san’s [Evasion Enhancement] skill, which she acquired, was likely contributing to her ability.

However, she couldn’t avoid the other attack that came a beat later.

One of the giant flowers rapidly descended and scattered something resembling pollen in front of us.

“Damn…!”

Kazane-san’s movement was slightly delayed after being hit with it.

It seemed to be pollen with a paralyzing effect.

It was a wicked status ailment attack that was scattered over a wide range, leaving almost no room for evasion.

On the other hand, I was also within the range of the pollen, but I didn’t feel any effects of paralysis.

I noticed that the poison and paralysis resistance ring on my finger was shining.

It seems that I resisted about 50% of the effect.

Kazane-san was also equipped with the same ring, but it didn’t seem to work for her.

I guess it depends on luck in this area.

Anyway, after cutting through demon’s flower’s attack, Kazane-san and I slipped in front of the main body of the demon plant.

Using the reach of my spear, I was slightly faster than Kazane-san, who was affected by paralysis.

I let the power of my skill reside in my right hand, which holds the burning spear in my hand.

Immediately after, it’s activated.

It seemed that demon’s flower tried to evade the attack by moving its roots at an astonishing reaction speed. But my eyes and body accurately compensated without missing the movement.

The skill [Accuracy Enhancement] that I acquired at level 24 is a reliable skill that quietly does its job.

“Come on, [Three Strikes]!”

Bobobobobo, the flaming spear pierced demon’s flower three times in succession.

It felt like a powerful blow.

A small voice rose from Yuzuki, who was watching the enemy’s HP, “Uhyo”.

Slightly delayed, Kazane-san attacked.

“Haaah!”

Brilliant as always, a dancing double strike.

Rune Kris in her right hand, and Kris in her left hand, were infused with the flames of [Fire Weapon].

In addition, the skill [Dual Wield Enhancement], which she acquired at level 21, increased the power of each attack.

The result was obvious. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

The gigantic body of demon’s flower crumbled into a black mist after receiving 5 consecutive attacks from Kazane-san and me.

A large stone fell to the ground.

“Huh? Did we defeat it…?”

Kazane-san, who delivered the finishing blow, exclaimed in surprise.

It was such a surprisingly easy victory.

It probably wasn’t even ten seconds after the battle started.

It was a decisive victory to the point where you would tilt your head and wonder, “Is this the boss’s enemy?”.

The large doors at the back of the hall slowly opened with a sound.

There’s no doubt about it, we’ve won.

“Senpai, senpai, senpai~! Ta-da!”

“Whoa!”

Yuzuki came from behind and hugged me as if she was tackling me.

And then.

“Yay, Daichi-kun!”

“Whoa, wait… O-oh!”

Kazane-san leaped forward from the front and clung to me as well.

I hurriedly caught her, and once again, I found myself in a sandwiched position.

But this time, the front and back were reversed.

By the way, Kazane-san, you’re supposed to be paralyzed, so how can you move so dynamically?

I use [Gaia Heal] to cure Kazane-san’s paralysis.

“Hey, hey, senpai, do you want to know how much damage the [Three Srikes] dealt?”

“Yeah, I’d like to know that.”

Earlier, she mentioned that it had 340 HP remaining.

And now, with one move from Kazane-san and me, it died.

I had high expectations that, combined with the effect of Yuzuki’s [Fire Weapon], it would deal tremendous damage, but it exceeded my expectations.

“Then, senpai, I want you to hug me from behind and whisper sweetly, ‘I love you, Hotaru.’ Then I’ll tell you.”

“No, thanks.”

“Whyyyy?”

“Not everything goes according to your whims. Use common sense.”

“It’s embarrassing to have common sense explained by you, senpai.”

“Just tell me already.”

“You’re not being very friendly, senpai~! Boo-hoo!”

“Boo-hoo!”

“Kazane-san, please don’t get on her bandwagon.”

“In one strike of your [Three Strikes] dealt a whopping 220 points of damage. I couldn’t help but make a weird noise when I saw it.”

“For real…”

In a single attack, 220 points of damage.

Considering that the maximum HP of demon’s flower was 450, I practically shaved off almost half of its health in one move.

As a boss, it should have had considerable defense as well…

Also, even Kazane-san’s normal attacks dealt over 120 points of damage in one go.

The amount of damage we’re inflicting is ridiculously high.

This demon’s flower seems to be the litmus test for our three-person party.

Despite having a favorable matchup, these results are amazing.

Our party is quite strong, isn’t it?

“By the way, Kazane-san, Yuzuki. How long are we going to be in this position?”

“Hmm, a lifetime?”

“Lifetime, I guess.”

“What do you mean, we’ll stay in this position for the rest of our lives? Are we idiots?”

I’m aware that Kazane-san and I occasionally act like a silly couple, but I don’t quite understand why Yumizuki is joining in.

If we’re talking about whether it’s happy or not, then I suppose it is.

Of course, the notion of “for the rest of our lives” is a lie, and after a while, we separated.

Then, without wasting time, we gather the fallen monster’s magic stones.

Afterward, we passed through the door that had opened in the back of the grand hall and continued forward.
