That armor earth doll was strong.
A three meter tall giant that expertly used its weapon. A little carelessness could’ve cost me my life.
And we were in even bigger trouble when one turned into two.
I tried to destroy one while the other went after Fuuma. I kept striking it with my weapons and using magic to scrape its body, but it immediately healed.
It was stronger, but I had better technique.
My attacks were connecting, but I couldn’t put them down.
I managed to get the upper hand with the technique I learned from the weapon store owner, but I had no chance of winning if it kept regenerating.
I dodged a club strike with a paper thin distance, got close, and cut its arm off. It started to regenerate from where it was cut, and the arm tried to go back.
I got behind it and cut its leg, and then touched it while casting Trace to look into their weak point.
Apparently they realized I was probing for something, because the earth doll armor chasing Fuuma threw its club at me.
I immediately jumped back, yelled for Fuuma, grabbed a lot of earth with Earth Magic, and sent it to the air with Wind Magic.
I learned two things with Trace.
One was that the earth doll armors have no weak points. The other was that they were connected to something deep underground.
I cast magic circles.
Pierce, Speed Up, and Explosion to create a tough rock spear that was bigger than usual.
Then I launched it at the thing I felt.
It went with a loud sound, pierced the earth doll that got in the way, and the ground. It traveled deep, pierced the core of the earth doll armors, and exploded.
The ground shook violently, and sank a lot from the pierced part.
The armor earth dolls that regenerated no matter how much I cut them fell silently, and disappeared into nothing.
Fuuma and I fell back on the ground, exhaled, and moved right away.
This floor is crazy. The monsters are too strong.
I remember falling into darkness after the big ant queen’s attack, and then I was here.
It looks a lot like the thirty-first floor, but it’s different.
Maybe there was a teleportation trap in that darkness that made us jump to another floor. That’s the only possibility I can think of.
I need to find a portal as soon as possible, or I won’t last.
I contain my panic and use Parallel Thinking to recover magic energy with Magic Energy Circulation and cut the grass with Wind Magic. I also focus on Spatial Grasp to sense things on the ground.
I’m glad Fuuma is here. I couldn’t move around like this.
We encounter another earth doll, and more grass monsters.
This one isn’t an armor, it’s like a lion with vicious claws and teeth, and its giant size is a big threat.
Its core is a bit far, underneath grass monsters.
I try to throw another rock spear, but the grass monsters stop it.
They can’t handle pressure in the ground, but they can join together and stop a spear penetrating one point, that then explodes.
I want to ask what that grass is made of, but it won’t change the facts.
After that magic, the lion earth doll ignores Fuuma and focuses on me.
The grass monsters fold themselves and create an iron wall shield like a dome, protecting the core from my attacks.
The lion earth doll moves fast, faster than the armor one. It quickly catches up to me despite me using Limit Break, and I have to block with my greatsword when it slashes with its front paws.
I feel the impact on my body, and it’s enough for blood to gush from my whole body.
I vomit blood, and desperately try to hold on so I’m not crushed.
The lion earth doll is much stronger than the armor. Maybe it’s just a matter of compatibility, but with the core being protected, I need to find another way to break through this.
But before anything can happen, I need to deal with the lion.
I heal myself with Healing Magic, but at this rate, my body won’t withstand the next attack.
The lion earth doll’s paws get away, and it attacks with vicious fangs.
I want to dodge, but my hurt body won’t hold up the sword.
I see death approaching.
A lot of my magic energy disappears, and several small tornadoes appear, which start scraping the lion earth doll.
It’s Fuuma.
Its magic makes the lion earth doll go down, but only for a moment.
The earth doll starts to regenerate, and it will be back to normal soon.
I try to control magic energy to do something, but I’m almost empty, and I can’t even use Healing Magic properly.
Fuuma runs over and looks at me with concern.
I feel like laughing because it’s so different from its usual rebellious attitude.
I pat its head and say…
“Let’s run away.”
And then we’re both thrown high in the sky.
Killer plant (grass monster)
A grass monster that grows in a diameter of ten to fifty meters. Each blade of grass turns into actual blades that catch and constrict enemies. Touching it throws off magic energy and has a paralyzing effect. It’s slow, moving at about ten meters per hour.
To defeat it, one has to crush the roots or burn it all.
