Kwang, kwang, kwang!

The scythe was too fast to even see before dodging. Suji had to evade several times even in midair.

Although it looked like she was chasing a mosquito, it wasn’t easy to get close as the scythe was being swung at an extremely fast speed.

But as Suji spread her wings wide and dove down, Pith’s longbow disrupted the monster.

“Pay attention to this side too, you monster bastard!”

The longbow Pith had purchased from the store this time had a fairly decent penetration effect attached, and seemed to find Pith’s bow quite annoying.

Saint, who was right next to Pith, also fired arrows ceaselessly with her short bow.

In order to block Suji coming down from above, it had to expose its weakness.

Kwang! Kwang!

As if annoyed by all this, the monster took out 2 arms that weren’t visible before and swung them towards the floor.

The small scythes held in those arms struck the floor hard enough to make it reverberate.

Suji dodged one, but the other got stuck directly in Eileen’s shield.

Kiiing!

With a strange sound, the shield barely deflected the scythe.

The moment Eileen, her face all red from blocking the heavy blow, gasped for breath, Daphne’s sword dug into the monster’s neck.

“One hit!”

Kagang!

A metallic ring that couldn’t be thought of as the crossing of sword and flesh was heard, but Suji pushed the she held in her other hand into the gap she had created, without minding it.

As Suji’s sword was covered in blue blood, the monster shook its body violently.

Suji fluttered in the air like a leaf, but she had no intention of letting it go easily. Sticking close to its shoulder, she aimed at its weak point and stabbed her sword in once again.

(987,009/999,999)

(970,412/999,999)]

‘At this rate, when are we ever going to catch it?’

But its health didn’t decrease easily.

The thought that this monster had killed her mother made her want to sever its head in two right away.

The more she dug into the background, the more she realized that not just this one monster, but those so-called ‘Great Beings’ and ‘Messiahs’ were the root cause of all these incidents.

The target of her vengeance wasn’t just this one monster.

Even knowing that, her insides were boiling.

Whoosh-!

Spotting another hidden arm coming for her back, Suji jumped into the air as it was.

She had been taking this risk and engaging in close combat to draw out this arm.

Suji gripped the two swords overlapped and struck down from above.

Swish- Bam!

Knowing the weak points in advance was a considerable strength.

As the joint was severed, the shortest of the monster’s 8 arms fell to the floor.

“Kieeek-!”

As its hood was pulled back, a creepy skull with closely packed teeth opened its mouth wide and screamed. Since there were mouths with dense teeth on its forehead and cheeks as well, it was impossible to tell which mouth the sound came from.

Three red eyes. Three mouths too.

Really, just looking at it instilled primal fear.

“Grrr…!”

The three mouths moved simultaneously.

Kwang, kwang, kwang, kwang!

Three long and short scythes pounded the not-so-wide space.

Eileen, who had retrieved her shield and dodged, and the other three who had each escaped to the corners of the room, all stuck close to .

With a difference of almost 0.1 or 0.2 seconds, ‘s fifth and largest arm that popped out from somewhere swept past the floor. It was evident that touching it would mean death.

‘The floor markings aren’t showing.’

Suji gritted her teeth as goosebumps spread all over her back.

Most boss monsters in display their attack range in advance. Although it was displayed right before the attack, making it hard to utilize, the difference in difficulty between having it and not was stark.

It was the same on the 81st floor where an EX-grade had appeared.

It was the part Eileen had warned about in advance, but each and every aspect was truly not easy.

Eileen had explained the gimmicks that appeared whenever one of ‘s arms disappeared in great detail, and if it weren’t for that, they wouldn’t have been able to dodge this.

The design of the ‘Great Beings’ was so absurd that hollow laughter kept escaping.

‘They said if we clear up to the 100th floor, we can face the Messiah. How are we even supposed to clear this in the first place? It’s really ridiculous.’

But it was tremendous luck that they were able to skip from the 86th floor to the 99th floor and come directly to the 100th floor, thanks to being able to summon the Crevice.

Kwang, kwang!

Then, as if regretting, the monster’s huge arm hit the floor two more times before retracting, catching Suji’s eye.

The monster’s delay in attack was only for a very brief moment after its large attack had swept past the floor.

‘Don’t think of it as my mother’s nemesis, let’s do this calmly.’

Steeling her mind, Suji encouraged her teammates.

“Only 7 left now. Let’s hang in there a bit more, everyone!”

“Uaahh…”

“Only 7 left…”

Hearing Pith and Saint’s deflated replies, Suji accepted them with a smile and kicked off the ground once more, shouting.

“If you think about what you want to do after catching this guy, you’ll get energized!”

Suji rode on its back, but as if it had eyes on its back or something, the monster didn’t let itself get caught easily.

While Suji struggled to find its blind spot somehow, Saint and Pith gritted their teeth and shouted.

“Then I want to play board games! You all have to play with me!”

“I want to get drunk on alcohol. If we somehow gather our strength, remove all our items and drink, we should be able to get drunk, right?”

“I don’t particularly wish for anything, so I just hope Daphne will be happy.”

Eileen also supported with long-range attacks and shouted.

Suji looked at Eileen, dumbfounded.

“…What, was that a confession just now?”

“No, is Eileen being blatant about it now?”

“Are you all not focusing?”

Hearing Pith and Saint’s mutters, Suji retorted in disbelief.

She made a vow to definitely make Eileen regret saying such a thing.

She would make sure Suji could live well enough to be embarrassed about how she had been acting so sentimental.

It’s really strange.

Just thinking about climbing the tower and killing monsters was actually more helpful than pretending to be at ease and pretending to have a future.

It’s not like monsters get weaker or their attack intervals get longer just because you’re mentally relaxed.

Strangely though, a conviction that they could definitely win arose.

Suji stopped thinking and charged in again.

While Eileen drew attention by attacking the monster’s legs with , Suji stuck to its neck again.

She had to deal as much damage as possible in the short gaps that occurred as the pattern repeated.

Suji gripped tightly with both hands and focused on attacking the gaps in its open neck.

‘Kieeek-!’

Blue blood splattered everywhere, obscuring her vision.

Kwak!

Another of the monster’s hidden hands popped out and grabbed Suji’s torso.

It was a set pattern, but as the speed itself was so fast, she was late in pulling her body out in time.

“Aaak!”

It felt like her whole body would be crushed just by its grip strength.

Suji screamed as she swung her swords, but she couldn’t deal damage as she wanted while caught in the huge hand.

‘At this rate, it’s a failure. No… We must break through in one go.’

Even as it felt like her shoulders would be crushed, that was the first thought that came to mind.

She tried to muster her strength and spread her wings, but she couldn’t do anything. The moment Suji struggled with her body once more.

Bam!

With a loud noise, the monster’s joint broke.

As Suji turned her head, she saw Saint holding Eileen and flying far away before crashing.

“Urgh…”

“Heuk.”

Eileen must have been hit by a huge scythe while coming to save Suji with Saint’s help.

“Eileen! Saint!”

Suji hurriedly got up and signaled to Pith with her eyes.

Receiving the signal, Pith rapidly fired his longbow like crazy to draw attention.

Bam, bam, bam!

Having lost another arm, struck the ground at a tremendous speed, and the floor of ‘s final level shattered into a mess.

Suji hurriedly ran to Saint and Eileen’s side. The two who had tumbled and crashed into the floor looked terrible.

Eileen was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and Saint had her eyes closed and was limp, perhaps having fainted momentarily from the impact of the crash.

Amidst that, there were no major injuries visible, as if they had somehow dodged well and hadn’t been directly hit by the scythe’s blade.

Suji urgently held the two in her arms and stuck close to the monster’s feet while evading attacks.

Only after another huge arm swept past the floor did she distance herself again and poured potions into their mouths.

“Drink the potion, both of you.”

“…Phew, it hurts so much. Leader.”

Saint got up with a groan and immediately regained her senses and took her position again.

Eileen also took out her shield again as if it was no big deal and stood blocking the party’s front.

Seeing the complexions of the two who had nearly reached the brink of death return, Suji gritted her teeth.
