Ahh, Cruxie-sama
That was dangerous… .Cruxie felt relieved.
It was at the moment that the huge armor monster tried to finish off Princess Fiora with its great sword.
She managed to made it in time, and stopped the attack with her venus-replica “Shadow Night” on her right arm.
Despite having enormous strength as an Amazon, and although her physical strength has been improved thanks to her weapon, her entire body shook at the tremendous impact.
[… .Ahh!]
Even so, she repelled the sword, and kicked the armor’s abdomen hard.
[Huh !?]
The armor lost its balance and fell backward.
[Are you alri—–]
[Cruxie-samaaaaaaa!]
[—- Buh !?]
When Cruxie looked back and tried to speak to her, the princess suddenly hugged her.
[Cruxie-sama, Cruxie-sama, Cruxie-sama, Cruxie-sama]
[Wait, it’s dangerous… ..!]
On the other side, even though the armor was trying to lift its massive body while making a metallic noise, the princess screamed with her face buried in Cruxie’s chest as if she had forgotten.
Having no choice, Cruxie held her, and evacuated into the shadows.
***
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It’s the real one, it’s the real Cruxie-samaaaaa!
Cruxie-sama came to save me!
A miracle! This is a miracle!
To think that he could find me without difficulty in this vast dungeon, it can only be a miracle!
No, it may be fate!
And now, I’m hugging Cruxie-samaaaaa!
The smell of Cruxie-sama!
After all, that towel cannot be compared to the natural one!
Also, my neck, Cruxie-sama’s breath is on my neck!
Kujehehehehehe!
I don’t want to be separated from him for the rest of my life!
——- Gau, Gau, Gau, Gau!
I feel like something is biting my feet, but that doesn’t matter to me!
Ahh, Cruxie-sama, Cruxie-sama, Cruxie-samaaa!
***
After hearing a bit late by telepathy that Cruxie had the princess safe, we were reaching the place she found her.
It was a wide corridor with a series of statues to the left and right.
There was a huge human-shaped figure over three meters in length.
『Hoo. That’s high class of Living Armor. Death Armor 』
When Venus said it in a curious way, the members of the princess unit took a deep breath.
[Is…. That a Boss Monster….?]
[That’s an A-Rank monster!]
[I-I can’t believe we come across something like that… ..]
The entire body of the armor was completely red, it was as if it had been bathed in a large amount of blood.
That strength, intimidation, was comparable to the red dragon on the fifth floor.
But now, with a great sword in hand, it was looking around as if searching for something.
Somehow, I mumbled “Huh? What’s the matter?”.
But, it seems that it detected our existence immediately.
[This is bad… ..it’s coming this way!]
[Kuh… .but, to rescue the princess, we have to remove any obstacles!]
[B-But, it would be better to move from here….]
Marisha drew her sword in preparation for the battle, but the other members looked nervous and unsteady.
[It won’t let us escape anyway!]
[I-It’s so fast!]
Meanwhile, the armor was coming here at a speed that did not match it’s body.
Being in front of our eyes, it swung it’s great sword.
[S-Ski—-]
[Ohhhh!]
I since we wouldn’t be able to dodge it in time, I decided to stop it head-on with Venus.
A loud sound rang out.
[W-What!? he managed to stop it’s attack… ..!?]
[Seriously!?]
I could hear surprised voices coming from behind.
…… .Shit, I overdid myself a bit.
My arms hurt a lot.
What great power this Living Armor has.
Venus’s performance improved thanks to Cruxie becoming a maiden, and if my physical abilities hadn’t been further strengthened, I would have definitely been defeated.
[Burn]
[Huh !?]
The armor was engulfed in flames.
Aria used the crimson princess.
[….It didn’t work?]
『It’s because there’s nothing inside. An armor alone does not feel pain. If you try to beat it with fire, you would need enough power to be able to melt it 』
Aria increased the firepower even more, but the surface was only slightly melted.
It seems that it will be difficult to finish it this way.
I swing my sword at the right leg of the armor.
But despite the divine sword strike, I only damaged it a few inches on the surface.
[Tsk that armor is though]
I dodged the armor’s attack.
Well that’s to be expected from a Boss Monster.
[Let’s try to take it down]
[Understood]
Aria and I intensively attacked the armor’s right leg, around the knee.
[Huh !?]
It’s a common tactic to focus on an enemy monster weak points.
Eventually, The giant armor right leg could not support its own weight, and it fell with a loud noise.
——- CRASH!
For a few seconds it stayed still, then turned to ashes.
Did it concluded that it couldn’t fight anymore with it’s state?
[T-To think that they would defeat the Boss Monster on the eighth floor so easily… ..]
[They’re incredible…..]
I could hear voices from the back saying they couldn’t believe it.
Both the Princess and Cruxie then came out from the shadow.
She was embracing Cruxie.
[Your highness!? You are safe!]
Marisha started running towards them.
