Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

That one momentary opening was enough.

"Justice will prevail!"

The incantation in the name of the Gale was thus completed, and at the same time, Ryu arrived before Otto and began to cast her magic.

She maintained her sideways posture, placed the Star Sword at her waist, and assumed the "Iaido stance".

She used her left hand, which was attached to the star sword, as a scabbard, thus integrating "skill" and "magic".

—Kaguya, please lend me your power!

She used the secret technique of the Far East, which was also used by her former rival and comrade-in-arms, Kaguya Gojou.

"【Five Lights】!!"

Using the essence of the Iaijutsu, Ryu swung his Star Sword, and "Five Slashes" appeared simultaneously in an instant.

「!?」

The five slashes came from the front, back, left, right, and above the head, completely irregular and dazzling. The straight slash from above the head, the diagonal slashes from the left and right sides from below, the kasaya slash from behind, and the horizontal slash from the front can be said to be a five-fold Iaijutsu attack, drawn to Oota's body from five directions.

"Ughhhhhh!?"

This is Kaguya Gojou's magic, "Gokko".

The magic that allows "Magic Slash" to appear anywhere, combined with her learned "Iaijutsu," ultimately created this unstoppable and unavoidable ultimate technique.

Even if they are caught off guard, their attack will definitely be blocked. And relying solely on her confidante (Ariseh)'s Flame Flower will absolutely not be enough to succeed.

It was precisely because Ryu was so certain that he used this slash composed of five beams of light.

As predicted, "Strongest" blocked the frontal horizontal slash with his gauntlet, but was hit by the other four beams of light.

The split magic blades severed the breastplate, gauntlets, and headband, successfully destroying the few pieces of armor on the [Fierce Warrior].

The warrior's blood splattered everywhere, and as if a large number of spider lily petals were being swept up by the wind, the field of vision was filled with wildly spraying red magic energy.

"Watch me! Aa ...

Bell then forcefully pulled the black scarf, snatching the black greatsword that was wrapped around it.

The hilt slipped from Ota's stiff hand, and the greatsword flew into the air.

If you lose both your weapons and armor at the same time, your "defense" will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Hedin's eyes flashed with malice, and he shouted loudly.

"Shoot! Stupid rabbit!!"

“──!!”

Bell released his scarf, gathered flames in his left palm, and cast a "magic" together with the Thunder Master.

"Flame Lightning──────────!!"

"All troops, fire!!"

As Yan Lei fired the cannon, a dome-shaped lightning bolt also struck at the same time.

Countless magical bullets overwhelmed Ortola.

"Oooooo ...

As Liu retreated, a barrage of fire and lightning struck the target.

In addition to the simultaneous launch of over five hundred lightning bolts, a rapid-fire spell (fire and lightning) also exploded on the spot. To prevent the boarman in the center of the barrage from escaping, the two worked together to trap him in a vortex of lightning and fire.

The thunderous roar continued as the furious boy kept firing.

Their only goal was to exhaust Otto's strength in one fell swoop and determine the winner.

Even as the black greatsword, which had flown through the air, crashed to the ground like a tombstone, Bell and Hedin did not slow down their artillery barrage.

"【Eternal Suppression, Undying Thunder General】────【Heroic and Tragic Undead Warrior】!!"

The moment his spearmen were exhausted, Hedin immediately began chanting, summoning the massive Thunder General.

Like a fatal blow from a thunder cannon.

The enormous cannonball exploded in the center of the amphitheater.

"~ ...

An overwhelming surge of force and strong winds rushed toward Ryu and Miya.

Electric currents and sparks flew everywhere.

With his shoulders heaving and panting heavily, Bell finally lowered his outstretched left hand, but he immediately assumed a fighting stance with his dagger.

This barrage of bombardment was indeed something that even first-level adventurers could not escape unscathed, but the enemy was an exceptional opponent, and all carelessness and negligence must be eliminated.

Bell and Hedin, who was holding the long sword "Twilight" and maintaining a fighting stance, watched together as the smoke gradually dissipated in front of them.

"...!"

A huge figure slowly emerged from the depths of the smoke, at the very center of the shelling.

Oh, it's still alive.

He crossed his tree-like arms in front of him, maintaining a standing posture.

His battle-hardened body, like Bell's and the others, was covered in blood, charred black, and severely injured.

(He was injured.)

(It's no different from being on the verge of death)

(We're about to defeat him!!)

A ray of hope descended upon Bell's mind.

When he saw Otto's current appearance clearly, and was convinced of his victory, he took a step forward—

He met the eyes of a "beast" that had raised its head from between its crossed arms, its pupils twisted like claws and teeth.

"────────────────────"

Bell felt as if his heart and survival instincts were being gripped tightly.

The glimmer of hope that descended upon my mind was instantly replaced by the "highest level of warning."

As Ryu and Mia both gasped, Hedin, whose expression had changed drastically, shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Knock him down!!"

A deafening roar, loud enough to drown out the shout, suddenly erupted...

"Ugh ugh ...

A roar that soared straight into the sky.

No, this is the roar of a "beast".

It was enough to make Bell and his companions, who were on site, lean back, cause the audience watching the "Mirror of Gods" broadcast to fall over, make the adventurers' legs go weak or fall off their chairs, and make the gods all stare in disbelief with a deafening roar.

The intimidating roar emanating from the boar is in no way inferior to the "howl" unleashed by a monster.

This man, in his human form, managed to bind the mind and body of a living being to the most primal fear, rendering it stiff and immobile.

这只只味着一件事。

"Warriors" have been reduced to "beasts".

Even the first-level adventurers (Bell and others) were temporarily unable to move after just one roar.

The "beast" that had been roaring to the sky suddenly turned its gaze forward.

Quickly lock onto the "prey".

The moment Bell and his companions screamed in terror, the "real ravaging" began.

"Oooooo ...

The wild boar took a step.

It started charging recklessly.

First came the explosive burst of speed that shattered the floor, then it approached at a speed as if it wanted to crush a person.

The massive, weapon-like shoulder seized the elf, ramming into him without allowing him to dodge, fight back, or resist.

"────Cough...c ...

Hedin was forced to let out a completely unrefined wail as he was thrown into the air.

Before Bell and the others could even react and were stunned, Hedin had already slammed his head against the theater wall.

Scattered rubble and debris, fragmented and disjointed consciousness, and for a moment, breaths that were completely cut off.

This is a charge that has nothing to do with tactics or strategy, but is based solely on brute force.

Hedin, who was coughing up blood from the power that surpassed even magical cannon fire, then saw a hand.

"Ughh ...

"Well!?"

This palm strike landed squarely on Hedin's face.

The boar's five fingers completely covered his face and field of vision.

His glasses shattered as expected, shards of lenses and frames embedding themselves in his skin, ravaging his fair and beautiful face. But none of this mattered; it was all trivial, something that could be laughed off.

As the five-command skull embedded in his scalp emitted a mournful cry, Hedin's vision, along with his brain, trembled violently.

The scene before your eyes changes rapidly, eventually creating a view where heaven and earth are turned upside down.

Hedin, with his brilliant mind, came to a conclusion that was as foolish as a fool's: he had been thrown at a ridiculous speed that could even make his body spin.

The next second, an explosion occurred on the ground, as if it had been hit by artillery fire.

"Um, uh────────"

"Master—!?"

“Hmm!?”

The stillness of time was finally broken when Hedin was thrown from a corner of the theater to the center, causing a dust storm.

The adventurers, understanding the situation, acted swiftly.

In order to protect the defender (Herdin), Bell, Ryu, and Mia quickly stood in front of the "beast" that relied entirely on instinct and only wanted to attack its prey.

However, the forwards (meat shields) crumbled instantly.

"────────────────!?"

A casually swung fist smashed Mia like a hammer.

It wasn't exactly a hand chop, but the little finger instantly killed Ryu.

With a slanted swing of its five fingers, it tore off Bell's combat suit along with a piece of flesh.

The dwarf who embraced the earth coughed up blood.

Despite successfully dodging the attack, the elf's body was only slightly grazed, and blood splattered everywhere.

The human with five twisted claw marks on his body changed into blood-red clothing, resembling a red-clad doll.

This is a complete abandonment of swordsmanship, martial arts, "techniques," and "combat methods," a rampage driven solely by instinct.

A tyranny that is solely focused on inflicting upon others allows no room for evasion or defense.

"Absolute attack".

After reversing from absolute defense, they eventually became mere lackeys that only knew how to slaughter enemies.

Seeing this scene, which was simply a case of the strong preying on the weak, rather than a battle among adventurers, the audience turned pale.

"That is……"

The saint (Amid) was terrified and turned pale.

"Could it be..."

The Almighty One (Asphy) was so shocked that her lips trembled.

"'Beast Transformation'...!!"
