Chapter 135: Ark’s Labyrinth
Labyrinth, 1st floor――
『GRRRRRR…!』
Several raptors growled and rushed toward Aria and company.
「《Acceleration》――!」
Aria leaped forward as she invoked her skill.
She easily cut through the raptors’ windpipes with her simple yet deadly knives’ work and light movement.
「As expected of Aria.」
Ciel praised Aria for her pure knife skill. Using her knives, Aria had defeated the raptors without even utilizing Tempest Bringer’s ability or any offensive skill.
「Receiving such straightforward praise from Hero-sama makes me feel rather embarrassed…」
Aria scratched her slightly flushing cheeks.
It was only natural for her to feel like that.
Ciel found that the number of monsters she had encountered along the way on the first floor was greater than that during the last time she had visited this labyrinth.
Everyone worked together as they went deeper into the labyrinth. Finally, they reached close to the entrance of the second floor.
As they walked forward to the entrance, a roar resounded in the room.
「Two 〝Cybertech-REX?, huh! Everyone, be careful! In this world, they are A-rank monsters.」
Ciel stopped walking and warned her party members of the danger ahead.
The two roaring monsters turned toward the group as if they were predators seeing their prey.
Even though their figures resembled that of T-Rex-type monsters like Noir and Freya, they were at least twice as big as a T-Rex type monster, and their body was covered with metal-like armor everywhere. [Note: Mecha Go*dzila]
「INTERESTING! I’LL BE YOUR OPPONENT!」
「COUNT MEOW IN TOO!」
Stella walked forward with an excited look on her face. Vulcan tapped the handle of her mjolnir to her shoulder and followed her.
『『GAOOOO!』』
The two Cybertech-REX let out war cries at the same time and charged toward the two girls.
The ground shook with every step they took as if to show that they were far heavier than they looked.
「TAKE THIS!」
Stella transformed into her Dragonewt form and immediately used charge attack. Her Caladbog collided with one of Cybertech-REX.
『GUooN!?』
The Cybertech-REX raised an astonished growl. It had never expected that its prided ram attack, which made full use of its overwhelming body mass, had been stopped by a mere human girl.
On the other side―
「TAKE THIS! MEOWJOLNIR!!」
Vulcan leaped high in the sky with a shout. She knocked her Mjolnir down on the other Cybertech-REX’s head.
『GAOOon!』
The fallen Cybertech-REX let out an agonizing cry. It turned around at the next moment and used its tail to sweep Vulcan.
CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA――AANK!
The attack was followed by a resounding clan. Immediately after that, the astonished growl of the Cybertech-REX who had used tail attack reverberated in the air. Vulcan had knocked down the monster’s tail attack, and because of this, the Cybertech-REX lost its balance.
『GAO…n.』
Both Cybertech-REX retreated while letting out low groans. It looked like they would retreat and escape; that was what everyone had expected. Surprisingly, they were glaring at Vulcan and Stella.
It seemed they had no intention to escape.
The moment Vulcan and Stella readied their weapons and planned on closing in the distance between them and their opponents―
「What’s that?」
「Their armor is shineowing!」
The armor of the two Cybertech-REX let out a faint light.
「Be careful! They are about to use their plasma breaths!」
Ciel shouted at Vulcan and Stella to warn them about the incoming attacks.
Upon a closer look, the party could make out that the light wasn’t just coming from the armor. It was also coming out from inside the two Cybertech-REX’s mouths.
The Cybertech-REX was also capable of using breath attack.
「TOO SLOW! 《Branch Whip》~!」
An adorable voice rang behind Vulcan and Stella.
Faeri had invoked her skill.
Branch whips grew out from beneath the two Cybertech-REX’s feet. Then, the whips twined around the two monsters’ mouths and forcefully shut their jaws.
『『――!!!?』』
The Cybertech-REX started to panic. Just when they were about to use their breath attacks, their mouths had been shut.
The other fairy didn’t let go of that chance.
「GOOO! 《Fairy Bullet》!」
This time, Lily’s voice rang out.
Four light bullets appeared in front of her. The panicked Cybertech-REX didn’t notice the incoming light bullets. Thus, the 《Fairy Bullets》 pierced right into the Cybertech-REX’s eyes.
『『GOOOOOOOOOOOO――NNNNN!?』』
Assailed by the pain coming from their eyes, the two blinded Cybertech-REX let out painful roars, which resounded in the vicinity.
「GOOD JOB! LILY, FAERI!」
「NYAICE SUPPORT!」
Both Stella and Vulcan gave thumbs up to the two fairies.
Stella beheaded the head of one of the Cybertech-REX with her Claiomh Solais. Vulcan smashed the other Cybertech-REX’s skull with Mjolnir.
（Hou! Lily and Faeri also showed remarkable growth!）
Tama praised the two fairies, who gave their support to the vanguard without any instructions.
It was truly a good thing that the fairies could grow this far even though they had come out of the forest labyrinth just a while ago.
