Cruxieās scream echoes through the dungeon.
While they raised strange cries, there were presences that wandered swinging.
They had worn out clothes with pale faces, and their skin is torn in various places.
Some have dangling eyes, others with their intestines.
They are undead monsters.
[Hey, Cruxie.Ā If you scream so loud you woukd attract more of them]
Cruxie hastened to close her mouth with both hands.
They canāt seem to hear well, the zombies that are fifty meters further away havenāt noticed us.
It has been a while since Cruxie had joined our unit.
Now we are braving the sixth floor beyond the Volcanic floor.
This floor is called the graveyard floor, and monsters such as zombies, skeletons, and mummies are said to appear.
Our purpose is to complete the level 6 task, it seems that the ćGrudge Stoneć can be obtained by defeating a strong undead monster.
[Hey is this the first time you have come to this floor, Cruxie?]
Cruxie nodded unsteadily.
[ā¦ā¦ Well, Iāve only been here once before⦠..but I abandoned it and ran away⦠..]
It seems that Cruxie isnāt good with undead monsters.
Having a pale face, Cruxie shook his head .
[I-Iām fine!Ā This time I am not alone!Ā N-No need to worry!]
Itās obvious that heās acting tough, but he doesnāt want to drag the unit down.
[T-This way, no problems]
Fear is causing him to not be able to speak well, Cruxie was wrapping a cloth around his fist.
Certainly even I wouldnāt want to hit zombies with my bare hands.
We get closer to the group of zombies from just now.
As there were only three of them, we decided that it will be one for each.
I cut off the zombieās right arm.
However, as if it felt no pain, it attacked me as if nothing had happened.
When I stabbed it in the abdomen, the blade passed to the other side.
Despite having pierced through its stomach, the zombie craned its neck and tried to bite me.
[This is going to be problematic]
ćFor a sword that thing is an unpleasant opponentā¦.ć
I kicked the zombie and forcibly pulled the blade out, when it fell to the ground, I pierced its head.
So it seems to have been defeated with that (?) I think, and it finally turned to ashes.
There is no use chopping off a zombieās arms or legs.
If you destroy the head or cut the neck, they are relatively easy to defeat.
Aria released flames from the crimson princess.
The zombie that was directly covered and whose entire body was engulfed in flames kept trying to attack her, but after a few steps it collapsed.
Zombies appear to be weak against fire.
[W-Why does it keep getting up !?]
On the other hand, I am worried about Cruxie.
The zombie flew off from hid blow, but got up again.
I assume he must have hit it several times, although the zombieās face was dented, itās movements did not change at all.
I took aim at the zombieās neck from behind in an instant.
It head flew through the air and fell at Cruxieās feet.
But still the zombieās head kept moving.
It opened itās mouth and tried to bite Cruxie.
The body was wandering and swaying, then fell.
After that it began rampaging.
[Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
A great scream came from Cruxieās mouth.
When I thought he was preparing to do something, Cruxie escaped at great speed.
[Huh!Ā Cruxie, wait!Ā that placeā¦ā¦!]
But my attempt was also in vain, Cruxie stepped on āitā.
A magical circle emerged at his feet.
This is bad, itās probably a transfer trap.
A transfer trap, as the name implies, transfer magic, you will be forced to be sent somewhere else anywhere.
I canāt leave Cruxie alone in this situation.
[⦠..Lucas-kun⦠..!?]
Immediately afterwards, the magic activated.
Ariaās screaming stopped, Cruxie and I were sent elsewhere in the blink of an eye.
When I realized it, I was surrounded by darkness.
Itās because something is pressed against my face.
He should have been sent somewhere with Cruxie by the transfer trap⦠..
Anyway, what is this comfortable feeling wrapping around my face?
Itās soft and has elasticity.
Although itās impossible to breathe, it can be said that I am happy.
Iām even thinking of wanting to try this all the time.
ā¦ā¦ However, Iām completely certain that I will drown.
Suddenly, a voice of panic arose, and that feeling disappeared.
I can finally breathe, and my sight returned too.
It was a butt that was there.
Apparently what was pressing my face was his buttocks.
Maybe our positions changed slightly during the transfer.
[SSS-Sorry!Ā I crushed you!]
[Actually I should be thankful]
[ā¦ā¦ No, itās nothing]
I accidentally thanked him.
It was a wonderful butt⦠..but Cruxie is a man.
[⦠..Ehem⦠..w-well, where are we?]
