Before we leave, I investigate the open area in this cave.
The map doesn’t show anything else, but just in case. It could have a hidden altar like on the third floor. But there’s nothing.
“So this cave is just for the rare monsters?”
This open area is dome-shaped, but it’s completely even, has no paths to continue further into the cave, and strangely has no cavities.
I figured there would at least be a treasure chest, but there are no green dots on the map, so are they found in special areas like the second and fourth floors?
Well, I’ve learned that there’s nothing, so let’s use Charge.

‘5/50’
Okay. Izumi is confused again because of the aura change brought about by me losing levels, but that won’t harm anyone so let’s leave it be.
“Are you ready to go back?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go!”
We keep drawing in regular monsters along the way and I keep destroying them, putting me at thirty by the time we leave the cave. We go down the mountain while adjusting it so I reach a hundred by the time we reach the border of this area, and then it appears.
‘Kururururuu…’

“Oh oh, it’s a strong one.”
“Oh, big brother? This one is completely different from before!”
“Did I not tell you about powered up ones?”
My attention is on this conversation for only a moment, and it’s already gone. Its skills have been replaced by higher versions, and it’s immediately apparent that it’s strong.
But this is just a stronger version of the Lizardman Hunter. That means Foresight IV is working for me. A spear comes for my head, which I dodge with paper thin distance, and counter with a punch to the stomach.
‘Guruh!?’
It lowers its head as it holds its stomach, and I leave it crawling on the ground with an axe kick. Enki then hits it with an open hand and flattens it.
Well then, now that it’s immobilized, should I call her…
“Kasumi.”
“…Eh?”
“It’s so you match everyone’s level, so the others shouldn’t join~.”
“Ah, I see. Sei!”
Kasumi wasn’t following this, but hits the powered up one. Enki then ends it with a pile bunker.
【Received Lizardman Hunter trophy】
【Level up】
【Leveled up from thirty-eight to two hundred sixty-six】
“All right. You were one hundred seventy-two, Kasumi, so where are you now?”
“…Two hundred eight.”
“Nice. That’s the effect of the extremely large magic stone. And you’re on par with the others’ levels, right? Nice nice.”
“Nice… Is it?”
“It is. We’re all together around the same level again. We skipped a few steps along the way, and Irina and Izumi might be a little over, but… Being that strong will give him peace of mind.”
“Big brother, is that why…”
“Yes. Having fun once in a while is nice, but we have different objectives. We’ll go our separate ways after this training slash fun, and if you’re all strong, you can beat back most difficulties.”
After doing it, I’ve realized that this high level rare monster boot camp is pretty brutal. It skips all sorts of things as adventurers. Thankfully, they already went through a lot to get to around level ninety, so if this doesn’t make them complacent, they won’t drown in their new power.
But conversely, if a low level person can level up a lot by hitting an immobile monster, their spirit that should have grown along the way there won’t match the level. If it’s not a person that will train hard to make their rapidly growing stats their own, it will ruin them for sure.
Well, the rapid level ups left Izumi in an angry huff, but it doesn’t seem that bad. It looks like she has a strong heart, and despite what she says, she’s Kasumi’s exclusive, so they should be close to the same wavelength. She won’t fail to work hard if she’s with the others.
I think it’s about time.
“Everyone from my team gather!”
“Yes!”
“Yes darling!”
“Nishishi!”
‘Gogo.’
‘Po!’
‘Pururu~.’
‘~♪’
Everyone comes to me like they were expecting it.
Only Aira stands quietly next to me.
“Master, are you going to send them back?”
“Yes. Kasumi, you should all go back to the tent.”
“Are you doing something?”
The moment Kasumi asks that, a message appears in front of me.
【Conditions to acquire the administrator key 525-5 met.】
【Moving target to special area.】
“Ou. I’ll go fight a boss.”
“B-boss?”
【3】
“Elder brother, you fought such strong monsters, but are still going for something else?”
“I’m tired from just watching…”
“Everyone gather! You too Kasumi.”
Haru gives the order as she moves away from us. I think she figured something out from just how we gathered.
I need to learn from her, because even with all these strange phenomena happening around her, she still keeps a close eye on her surroundings.

“Miss Ayane, older brother. I don’t really understand, but I pray for your victory.”
“Thanks Irina! We’ll do our best.”
【1】
“Big brother, I don’t know what’s happening, but come back safely. Absolutely!”
“Oh, leave it to me.”
I give her a thumbs up, and hear their support as the scenery in front of us disappears.
