The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 16: Lizards Part 3

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

With a disastrous sound, the entrance of the boss room collapsed. Yoo ran to the entrance and tried to push the rocks with all his might and said, "Hey, help me with this!"

The young man was still trying to clear the rocks with every ounce of his strength, 'The mage's name was Jo Gyuhwan?' Izuku noticed a flash of light before the collapse. A C-rank Mage who used light. This was definitely his doing.

Izuku placed a hand on one of the rocks, 'I could get out of this easily.' He was able to feel the weight of the stone through his touch. It was lighter than expected. Putting a little bit of power into it, he felt the nearby rocks budge slightly. However, he had no intention of leaving.

Yoo said, "Ah! I got it!" Yoo suddenly stopped pushing and spoke understandingly. He turned to Izuku with a red face and continued, "Those sons of bitches are trying to kill us! They don't want to share the mana crystals so they're going to block us in and let the spider do their job!"

Izuku thought, 'Yes. You got it. Good job.' As he held back a sigh.

Izuku said, "You got it. Looks like we're in trouble." As he said that Yoo's face was red with anger but turned pale and Izuku didn't ask why...

He saw the beast reflected off Yoo's eyes and simply turned around.

The spider, having woke up from the sound, was slowly moving his giant body.

Size of a house.

Dozens of eyes.

Terrifying mandibles.

Long, thick legs.

Seeing the thing in motion made it seem much more terrifying than when it was sleeping.

Yoo began to tremble in terror. His entire body froze up. On the other hand, Izuku fixed his gaze on the spider and calmly called for Kasaka's Poisoned Fang from his inventory and thought, ',You're mine.' It was finally time to test his increased abilities. Kasaka's Poisoned Fang appeared in his right hand. Holding it as if it was always there, he tightened his grip. Now would begin the real hunt.

Yoo said, "W-wait, Midoriya!" Yoo tried to stop Izuku, who was walking toward the spider.

Yoo asked, "W-what are you going to do?" The Yoo's hands holding onto Izuku were trembling. Izuku pointed at the spider with his left hand and Izuku said, "I'm going to take it down." This was the reason why Izuku had followed Hwang up until now. If he attempted to 'cut off the tail', Izuku would take all the magic beasts of the Dungeon for himself. It was a good opportunity to obtain valuable experience points and magic cores, 'If only the boss hadn't eaten all the magic beasts...'

He could've earned so much more. It was regrettable. In the meantime, Yoo, who did not know the truth about Izuku, looked at him incredulously and thought, 'What is this he even saying?'

Yoo recalled hearing somewhere that people would sometimes go insane after a great shock. And now, this E-rank Hero was saying he would solo a C-rank Dungeon's boss. What was this, if not insane?!

Yoo said, "You're going to take that thing down?"

Izuku scratched the top of his head, "Do you want to do it?"

Izuku turned back to the boss. There was no need to hear his response. Yoo just stood with shaky legs. From the start, Izuku expected nothing from Yoo. Rather, he was glad that the young man didn't offer to help, 'He'll just get in the way.'
