Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

I strode onto the monster's corpse and jumped towards the swarm of monsters. I swung the Ron in my left hand and the Finger Fold in my right hand at the same time, carrying a tide of sword energy to madly strangle the monsters from all directions.

I gave up the Water God Flow defense.

There was no need for the Water God Style to face a monster of this level.

"Shh-!"

The sword flashes like a shadow.

As I raised my hand and swung my sword, the monsters stopped moving in an instant.

B-level monster.

If it were the old me, I would probably have to fight a tough opponent... No, think about it carefully, when I first started learning swordsmanship from Orsted, I couldn't even withstand the most ordinary stone demon wood.

However, to this day, monsters of this level are not even qualified to fight in front of me.

unconsciously.

More and more monster corpses fell beside me, gradually piling up like a mountain.

Looking at the monsters that were still attacking me, I took a deep breath and exerted force on my feet.

"Bam—"

My figure shot out like an arrow, crashing straight into the surging army of monsters, and then set off a huge wave.

……

……

By the time I killed the last monster, my body was covered in the blood of various monsters.

The body does not feel tired at all.

Not only that, because of the high concentration and excitement of the mind, every cell seems to be clamoring to continue fighting.

Today it is today.

Monsters of this level are just warm-ups for me.

I looked down at my hands holding the two swords, which were covered with calluses from years of sword practice.

That's it...

Before I knew it, I had become so strong.

"Ron!"

When I looked up, I saw Rudeus walking towards me.

"Well, did I perform pretty well?"

I casually took the towel handed to me by Rudeus, wiped the blood off my face and asked with a smile.

"To be honest, when I first heard that you actually beat Badigondi, I thought it was unbelievable. I thought that guy might be letting you win. But now it seems... Ron, you really have become a lot stronger."

Rudeus said with emotion.

His fighting ability against me is basically still at the same level as when he was an adventurer.

During that time, I was at best a sword master, and even not the strongest among them.

This means that my strength has indeed improved greatly in the past few years.

The rest of the team also walked over along the gaps between the monster corpses.

After seeing all the monsters I defeated, Paul couldn't help but marvel at them.

"What an amazing record! Among the people I know, only Gileno can be compared to you."

"Kilenu? I've seen her before when I was training at the Holy Land of Sword. To be honest, I don't think I'm completely sure I can defeat her..."

"Oh? Do you know Gileno too?"

"Yes, her clothes are very unique, but she's not very approachable."

"Hahaha, right?"

Paul and I looked at each other and smiled.

At the beginning, because he took Paul's job, I was worried that it would be difficult to get along with him, but after a little contact, I could feel that Paul was indeed a good guy.

Although he sometimes likes to act cool in front of Rudeus, he is never vague when it comes to getting serious.

He didn't mind at all that I took his position as the main attacker.

Think about it carefully.

After all, Paul was once the captain of the S-rank adventurer team Black Wolf Fang, and he was able to immediately organize a large-scale search and rescue team after the great migration. In addition to his combat ability, this leadership is what I can't match.

"Having said that, you did say you weren't suited to prolonged combat, right?"

Paul inquired.

I nodded.

I pulled out a small knife from my waist, easily cut open my abdomen in front of everyone, and took the magic crystal out of my stomach.

I have practiced this set of moves to perfection. I can basically do it without blushing or getting nervous. My movements are smooth and there is no lag. From the moment I cut the wound to the moment it heals, it takes less than ten seconds.

Even so, everyone around was still stunned.

"H-Have you always been like this?"

Even with Paul's personality, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"I'm used to it. It's no big deal."

I shrugged and casually stuffed the magic crystal into my pocket.

As for Rudeus and Elinalize, they were no longer surprised by this.

I explained to everyone:

"Because I don't have any magic power myself, I have to do this if I want to entangle Dou Qi. After the battle, I also need to take out the magic crystal as soon as possible, so it's not suitable for frequent and long battles."

"Without Dou Qi, I'm a third-rate intermediate... Of course, with the magic sword and magic power add-ons, I think I can be considered an advanced swordsman, but I can't be compared to Mr. Paul."

"If possible, I think the general battles should be left to the two of you. If we encounter an enemy that is ineffective against ordinary attacks, I will take action to break through."

I know my demands are a bit excessive.

But I think even if I'm not entangled in fighting spirit, I won't be too much of a drag.

I just can't give it my all.

After listening to my explanation, Paul thought about it carefully for a while and agreed to my request.

There was almost no objection in the team.

Well, after seeing the combo I just performed, most people probably won’t have any objections.

……

……

After the battle, we continued to move forward.

Entered the third floor.

In addition to the red spiders and steel crawlers on the second floor, the monsters on the third floor also include crazy skeletons.

The Crazy Skeleton is an A-level monster that looks like a headless mud giant. It looks more like a golem than a skeleton, but the skull buried in its chest is its weakness.

The mud part is unaffected by attacks, moves slowly, and can use magic similar to rock cannonballs.

The most important thing is that he can also command the Red Fierce Spider and the Iron Reptile.

After losing Luo Qixi, the strength of Paul and others alone was not enough to advance to this level. But now with Rudeus, the situation has improved greatly.

However, before we could advance very far, Rudeus suddenly shouted, "God! I feel the presence of God! Ron, come and help me!" Then he used earth magic on the wall next to him, forcing it forward in a straight line.

Although everyone else was puzzled, I knew that it was the invisible force of destiny that was guiding Rudeus.

So I didn't dare to delay and immediately helped dig the wall to clear a path.

Let’s just talk about the results.

We rescued Lokisi.

After confirming that Luo Qixi was not seriously injured, we decided to return immediately and continue our next exploration after resting.

Labyrinth Chapter: 85, Dulay Disease

Five days passed since Roxy returned to the team.

We decided to go to the maze again and continue the progress of the last strategy.

Although Rudeus expressed his desire to let Loki rest for a while, both Loki herself and other members believed that she should leave the maze as soon as possible to avoid symptoms such as PTSD.

Then, we attacked the third floor in one go.

Then move on.

The environment on the fourth floor was completely different from the first three. The surrounding walls had become familiar stone walls. Rudeus also looked over at me, probably realizing that the environment here was very similar to ancient dragon ruins.

I have some suspicion that this maze might have been a relic long ago, distorted and corrupted by magic into its present form. Of course, this suspicion is unfounded, and even if I came up with an answer, it would be of little use.

After repelling the first wave of enemies on the fourth floor, Paul ordered everyone to rest on the spot.

If it were in the original work, they should have been preparing to retreat.

However, with my joining, the team is obviously more balanced when facing various aspects of battle. After all, Paul and I are both well-rounded swordsmen with balanced development and basically no weaknesses.

After the corrections were made, we were ready to set off again.

But at this moment, Paul suddenly came to me quietly.

"I say, Ron..."

"What's the matter, Mr. Paul?"

"Which way are you looking?"

Paul pointed toward the middle of the team.

I followed his gaze and soon saw Rudeus and Lokisi sitting back to back.

I didn't expect their relationship to progress so quickly.

Honestly, when it comes to relationships, I'm a little envious of Greyrat's bloodline. If things had gone so smoothly between Sarah and me, I'm afraid she wouldn't have left...

No, you can't think so.

It wasn't her fault that Sarah left.

"It seems that Luo Qixi likes Rudy a little bit."

"Mr. Paul doesn't agree with this relationship?"

"Tsk... well, it's true that I have mixed feelings about Roxy, who used to be my peer, suddenly becoming my daughter-in-law. But this level of conflict isn't enough to justify my objection, right? Besides, Rudy seems to like Roxy very much."

"So Mr. Paul also supports it?"

"more or less."

Paul patted my shoulder with a serious expression.

"But even if Rudy and Roxy are willing, Rudy is already a family man. If Sylphy doesn't agree, the situation will become very complicated."

It turned out to be the case.

I'm worried about this...

"So, I was thinking, Ron, when we get back, can you help persuade Sylphy?"

“I don’t think there’s any need for that.”

"Ok?"

Looking at Paul's puzzled eyes, I smiled and said:

"Sylphy is a kind woman who can understand Rudeus very well. Although she may be a little jealous sometimes, she will not make things difficult for Rudeus. If Rudeus really likes Roxy, I think Sylphy will definitely be ready to accept her."
