Fastest Level Up! - Chapter 49
About 30 minutes have passed since the King of Unique entered Kenzaki Dungeon. The B-rank party finally arrived as Rin and the others were waiting in front of the gate of the dungeon.
Although each of them used different equipment, the mark of the guild they belonged to on their chest was the same. Rin was also familiar with that guild mark.
‘If I’m not mistaken, that mark should be the same guild mark shown by Yui a while ago…’
“Sorry to have kept you all waiting. We’re from [Yoizuki], and I am the leader of the party, Kagawa. Could you please tell us about the current situation?”
Rin’s prediction seemed to be correct as they seem to be members of Yoizuki.
After hearing the situation from the dungeon supervisor, the leader of the party, Kagawa, immediately started to act to solve the dungeon collapse.
“Looks like brave adventurers have paved the way for us.. That’s why let’s join them right away and defeat the last boss!”
“Ooo!”
Following the leader’s instruction, the B-rank party quickly rushed into the dungeon leaving the two people who came with them.
“Aren’t you two going to enter together with them?”
Rin, who had a doubt about that, asked the remaining two people who waited outside the dungeon. Then, one of them gently answered.
“Yes. Our guild [Yoizuki] has a policy where several people need to wait on the surface when capturing a collapsed dungeon. This policy was meant to consider if the process of dungeon collapse finished before the party was able to arrive at the boss room, resulting in the last boss coming out of the dungeon. And then, it’s also easier to deal with an unexpected situation if there is someone who has telepathy inside and outside the dungeon too.”
Certainly, normal communication devices couldn’t be used in the dungeon. But advanced skill [Telepathy] could solve that problem.
It was a skill that was basically acquired by an adventurer who was going to form or was already in a party and a skill that Rin who usually works as a solo adventurer subconsciously leaves out as he thinks he doesn’t need it.
“I see, thank you for telling me.”
After saying his thanks to the two adventurers who kindly answered his question, Rin continued to wait in front of the gate of the dungeon like everyone else. And then, 30 minutes later, an unexpected situation occurred as the man from the [Yoizuki] guild who waited outside the dungeon suddenly shouted.
“What?! The gate of the boss room is closed?! In addition, you didn’t meet other adventurers along the way? Don’t tell me…”
Hearing what the man said, Rin instantly realized something.
–And that was, Kazami and his party challenged the last boss at their own discretion.
That was also the conclusion the man from [Yoizuki] arrived after thinking for a bit.
“Understood. It would be best if those who are inside the boss room can safely defeat the dungeon boss but I think everyone should wait in front of the boss room in case something goes wrong…”
In case something goes wrong…it means the situation where all adventurers inside the boss room have died.
‘However, it’s still not certain whether that kind of situation will come or not yet. Because it is true that Kazami and his party are powerful people. But now that it has become like this, it will be troublesome if they didn’t completely defeat the boss.’
What comes to my mind was the figure of Rei who wouldn’t choose to enter the boss room by her own choice. Although I wanted to believe in them and wait, my heartbeat can’t subside at all.
And then 10 minutes later, the time of tension still continued silently.
‘Is it not over yet? The fact that the fight has not ended even after 10 minutes means Kazami’s party abilities are rivaled by the last boss to some extent…What on earth happened inside?’
When Rin was worried like that, the moment that he was afraid of suddenly came.
“What happened!?”
“Kyaa!”
Violent vibrations occurred with the dungeon at the center. And the two men from Yoizuki displayed an uneasy expression as they sensed that vibration.
“This is bad, the dungeon collapse has entered the final stage. We don’t have much time anymore…!”
“It means the boss will come out of the dungeon, and we have to somehow try to stop it to buy some time.”
“Not only that! The last boss will become stronger as the dungeon collapse continues too. Perhaps right now, the last boss has increased its power inside the boss room. That’s why the ones who are fighting the boss right now are likely…”
Rin’s heart was pounding when he heard their conversation because he understood even without hearing the words ‘to stop’ and ‘continue’ from the man.
If a monster that couldn’t be subdued in 10 minutes became even more powerful, the probability for the party inside the boss room to subdue the boss should be close to zero. Thus at this moment, Rei and her party were definitely in the jaws of death.
For that reason, Rin couldn’t afford to hesitate anymore. So, Rin talks to Yui who stood next to him.
“Yui, you may be surprised to see what you’re about to see right now. I will definitely explain the situation later, so, please wait until then.”
“Rin-san? What do you mean–”
After leaving a bit of warning to Yui, I rushed to the gate of the dungeon.
If I activated [Transfer Within Dungeon] in the middle of this crowd, I might be able to get inside the dungeon without anyone noticing.
However, it would be a different story when returning to the surface. People will surely get suspicious if they saw someone who shouldn’t have entered the dungeon suddenly returned to the surface from the dungeon transfer magic.
Therefore–
“Wait! What on earth are you doing–”
“Rin-san!”
While ignoring the man from Yoizuki and Yui, Rin pretended to enter the gate of the dungeon as he muttered.
[Transfer Within Dungeon]
Immediately after Rin had entered the gate of the dungeon, the man from Yoizuki also entered a bit later.
“What are you thinking by entering the dungeon at such a time! Quickly go back…Eh? Where did he go?”
However, the man could only tilt his head because there was no figure of Rin who should have been there.
While continuously activated [Transfer Within Dungeon], Rin thought.
It’s fine if it was just my misunderstanding and the ability of Kazami’s party was real and it also would be best if they could safely defeat even the strengthened last boss. Then, I could just hide with [Stealth] and use [Transfer Within Dungeon] to wait in front of the boss room.
Although I would definitely get scolded because of entering the dungeon at such a time, I’m sure it would be fine if I said I just wanted to rush in because I am still in puberty. Yes, that kind of ending without any incident happened was something that Rin desired for.
However, the reality was cruel as by the time Rin arrived at the boss room, it already became a disastrous scene.
Kazami and the rest have already died and even the only remaining member of the party, Rei, was about to be killed by a nameless knight.
It’s a situation which can’t even be called ‘arrived in time’. Even so, there is still someone that I could protect with this hand.
Thus, Rin took the Nameless Sword from the [Item Box] and subdued the nameless knight with a single swing using the momentum he had when he fell from the ceiling after transferring to enter the boss room.
And then–
“I’m late, sorry,”
Said that toward Rei.
“_Why”
Rei was bloody and weak to the point she couldn’t speak properly.
Rin, who thought that this was very bad, instantly took an advanced HP recovery pill from the [Item Box] and slowly made Rei drink it. At that moment, Rin stroked his chest in relief thinking he was glad that he bought an advanced HP recovery pill for 1 million yen in case of emergency.
“If you’re below level 500, one of these should be able to fully recover your HP. Don’t worry, you are safe now.”
“Rin…Cough, cough, why are you in this kind of place, Rin…?”
“I know you must be curious, but I’ll answer that later. Because there is something I have to do before that.”
Rin stood up and looked at the boss of this dungeon, Orc General, who had already set the newly appeared Rin as the target of killing as it looked like it was about to rush toward him anytime while holding a huge iron ax in its hand.
In contrast to that, Rin calmly used [Appraisal] in front of such a powerful enemy.
“Last boss, Orc General. The recommended level to subjugate is 4000, huh… Good grief, the power difference was so high, and it even makes me want to run away immediately.”
However, Rin didn’t run. It was the same as when he fought the Nameless Knight.
Because if Rin was someone who would choose the ‘right’ choice to run in front of an enemy whose power is overwhelmingly superior to him, the current him won’t be here.
“It’s been a while since your true value was demonstrated in my fight against the Nameless Knight.”
Rin faced an enemy that was superior to him while grasping the longsword that has a silver blade as its characteristic–the Nameless Sword. Without quivering with fear, he was just looking straight at the enemy in front of him.
“Let’s go, Orc General–I will show you how the inferior ones fight.”
With a powerful step, Rin went into the battle.
