Chapter 125
"Yes!"
Iris pierced the Void Eater's leg right as I cut its arm with counter .
With a thunderous roar that didn't sound like a spear hitting flesh, the Void Eater's leg was destroyed and the monster fell on the ground .
"Let's finish it off!"
"""YES!"""
While the other three are launching their attacks on the Void Eater, I get close to its head and put magic on my sword .
【Steel Slash】 【Sharpen】 【Mana Strike】--
After putting around 10 magic on the sword, I swing it toward the Void Eater's neck .
With a splash sound, the Void Eater's neck was shallowly cut .
Of course I'm not done yet .
I invoke barrier magic as the sword passes through Void Eater's neck . I also activate Physical Reinforcement and Acceleration magic together, and push the sword while driving it back forcefully .
As a result, my sword bounced up at a speed higher than the downward swing and cut off the Void Eater's neck .
"GAAAAAAAAA!"
The Void Eater tried to counterattack while shouting agonizingly, but I evaded it by slightly swaying my upper half without moving an inch from where I stand .
I could easily avoid its limbs when it was still in top form .
There is no way a counterattack it launched in desperation while it was down could hit me .
And then my sword leaped again with magic and created a deep wound on the Void Eater's neck while rising in speed .
One of the true values of Disqualified Crest is this chain strikes .
Along with single powerful blow using 【Special Mana Enchant】, but in this chain strikes case, I can keep doing it until either my mana ran out or the enemy died off .
I rapidly decrease the Void Eater's health while evading its attacks and adjusting the trajectory of my attacks and what magic to put on them .
Iris's spear, Ruli's and Alma's arrows also continue to pierce the enemy's weak points .
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Finally, the Void Eater howled loudly--and stopped moving .
The battle has ended .
" . . . Did we . . . win?"
"Yeah . . . . Look, they're some good material aren't they?"
I picked up the Void Eater's arm that fell nearby, plucked the claw and showed it to Ruli .
"I-It feels like there's an amazing power emanating from it somehow . . . . "
"That's cause this contains lots of mana . Besides, its head was cleanly lopped off, so the materials are in prime state . "
The monster could regenerate its arm by using mana so defeating it would have been easier by repeatedly cutting the arms off, but that would result in inferior materials .
Yet, cutting the arms off only for several times wouldn't degrade it, so refraining from doing so would have been wasteful too .
You need to regulate the frequency of cutting a Void Eater well to get the best of it .
By the way, the fur isn't worth that much, but I'm still taking it with me nonetheless .
Might be useful for something if we sell it at the guild .
"Leaving that aside, the fact that this monster showed up likely means that the situation with the Dragon Vein might have turned interesti--dangerous . We should go take a look at the great dungeon while also taking the chance to train there . "
I pointed at the Void Eater's remain .
Making this particular monster emerge doesn't need a lot of mana in itself, however, it's not a monster that would normally appear .
"Great dungeon . . . ?"
"Yeah . Let's see, where's the map . . . It's around here . "
I took a map out of Storage magic and pointed at a dot there .
I made the map myself using my knowledge of olden terrains, so there's no city names or anything like that written, but it should be geographically correct .
Ruli peeks at the map and replies, sounding like she gets it .
"Oh I see, you're talking about Melkia Dungeon . I'm sure we're free to come and go to that dungeon city!"
" . . . Wha?"
However, some unfamiliar words were mixed in it .
. . . Dungeon City?
"Is there anything wrong? . . . . Alma, this place is Melkia isn't it?"
"Un, I think it is . . . . "
A city on top of . . . The Great Dungeon Babiel?
By the current civilization of this age?
"Hey, that city must possess quite the war force right?"
"Un . I think the capital's order of knights is still the strongest, but there's a lot of adventurers in dungeon city . . . . So the dungeon city might be a bit stronger!"
A bit stronger than the royal capital . . . Which means practically nonexistent .
They made a city with that kind of defense on that dungeon huh .
Yup . I'm surprised that this country managed to avoid getting destroyed so far .
Almost miraculous even .
