ryuji mumbles What just happened now? It was painful; i felt like I would die. Why are my hands bigger? Did my body size increase? yeah, It must mean everything grew larger. there are no boss monsters on this floor; it's a bunch of high-rank demon beasts. I should start by killing these and ascend to higher floors
wait a minute i have gotten new skills; it's that rabbit's quick step and dark lightning i'm a lot stronger now. i will use dark lightning and then fire gunshots
"dark lightning "
"bang bang...."
first let's take care of that bear he he have to pay for my left arm
"Roar," there you are. why don't you eat some fire?" No, no." i can't just burn you now; my flames are stronger. i can feel it; it must be on higher stages now. no time to waste let's take care of you first
I should at least take that thick skin of yours; I can use it as clothes. My clothes got ruined, and it's not safe in this labyrinth without some gear. i'm barely covering myself with this fragile gear of mine
he starts killing every beast he sees and after a long killing spree
"Wooo," the 90th floor—until now there was only high stage A rank monsters—now what will come
He enters the boss room. there are several chains and tree vines going inside a box-like object. It's a palm-sized box. it's a relic or a magic craft; it must be something precious. It could fetch a good price outside; I might even live a life of luxury. What is this tingling sensation inside me, like i want to touch that box? No, but it doesn't look safe; it could be a charm spell to catch people off guard whatever i have to take it with me. he goes and grabs the box. everything starts getting blurry, and he is inside the box in front of a charming, chained woman with thorny vines curling all over her and a pink crystal-like horn on her head. ryuji says, who are you? You are not a human; that much i can tell. She opens her pinkish-brown eyes and speaks, i'm a higher demoness. i have been sealed in this realm in this body, he says. why were you sealed?" Then she starts portraying the past. I came into this labyrinth to get the natural thunder and flames with my subordinates, but who would have thought there would be grand mages in here? Those mages started attacking us. i shielded my subordinates with my body, but the mages were too strong, and my subordinates left me behind to keep themselves alive. The mages burned me, and after that summoned me into the body of a girl so i wouldn't escape. "what" , so you are not a demon nor a human? I'm just like you, a half-demon; it's just your case is different. he starts walking towards the inscription tab in front of the girl and puts his hand on it and starts releasing dark lightning and crimson fire. the stone tablet starts breaking, and the chains and vines start breaking after that. a blinding light comes, and both of them faint. when they wake up, they are outside the box. ryuji wakes up, and he hears a melodious sound of a girl: you woke up. i didn't expected you to wake soon after breaking the stone tablet with your mana
ryuji says oh yes, by the way, what's your name? the demoness awkwardly says, i don't know; I forgot what it was
she says, what's your name, by the way?" Ryuji tells her, my name is ryuji katsunagi
Oh, ok, it will be a trouble conversing with you, so what should i call you? She replies, I don't have one, so can you just give me one, a name?" He ponders for a while and says, "Irina." , it's a name that means peace; it's a good name, and it suits you. You don't give the feeling of our everyday demons to me; you are calm and composed while having no malice towards a human like me. you are the second demon i have seen who doesn't want fight but talk
Irina: "Wait, you met demons who don't fight?"
ryuji: "Yeah, there was a strong demon on the 87th floor who was so bored he started talking; he even forgot he had to fight me. he only remembered when i was leaving without responding to him
Irina: "giggles"
ryuji says, what do you plan to do from now on?" She says, I
"Whoosh, breathing flame
Irina: "Ryuji, are you ok?"
RYUJI: "i'm okay; this is the boss of the 90th floor. This thing must be guarding you from getting out from the seal
"roar," roar of dragon
we have to take care of this dragon first.
ryuji concentrating his spatial energy on his left eye, and a gun and a revolver instantly come into both his hands. He starts sprinting towards the dragon's eyes and fires at an eye. the dragon lifts his head up and starts creating a fireball and fires at Ryuji, but the fireball turns into wisps of smoke. "If you attack Ryuji, I'll defend you," Irina tells him, but as she finishes, another dragon appears out of nowhere. Then she says, "You take care of the other dragon; I can keep the other one covered. Ryuji swaps out his guns for his shotgun and begins shooting at the dragon. He uses his flame release to boost the bullet's propulsion after fusing the bullet with dark lightning and fusing his spatial energy with the barrel of the shotgun to eliminate friction.
he appears in front of the dragon by quick step and fires at the head of the dragon. the dragon lies limply on the ground with no semblance of life
the rocks around the room starts shaking and 3 rock golems comes alive from the walls of the large room
Ryuji says, if monsters keep appearing like this, we won't be able to leave unscathed from here
