"My Destined One" • Tensura x Arifureta

Ch.10: Yue

"Shit! Why aren't you here?"

It had been 2 days since Hajime defeated the Claw Bear. After eating the bear and his statuses increasing there was no monster on this floor that could challenge him. So it was quick to proue he had mapped out 80% of the floor but he hadn't found any stairs that went up.

The only way he could find was the way down but, Hajime didn't have much interest in finishing the Dungeon so he wanted to go up but he couldn't find the way.

"A dead end, huh." -Sigh-

Hajime sighed as he agreed to follow the way down.

The stairs were well made and well lit.

He reached the next floor while giving a fearless smile.

After proceeding for a while.

Hajime felt something unpleasant to his left and jumped back. He pointed the light stone in the direction of this presence and there was a green lizard with yellow eyes and vertical pupils.

The lizard's eyes glowed and Hajime felt a pain in his shoulder.

He looked at his left shoulder and saw that his shoulder was petrified. He took some holy water from his wolfskin backpack and poured it over his shoulder. The petrification that was spreading receded until it was gone.

The lizard was about to make another attack, but Hajime stepped forward and threw a light grenade. The stunned lizard took a donner shot and died.

This floor was very dark. The floors above had always been very well lit with green stones. But this floor was totally dark. Hajime was using a green stone that he picked up on the other floor to light the way.

Hajime continued on his way and killed several magical beasts on the way he wanted to rest so he made a base inside the wall with Transmute.

"Time to eat."

He ate the basil, an owl that speared its paws like a rifle and a 6-legged black cat.

As he ate the pain coursed through his body. that meant that the monsters here were as strong or stronger than the clawed bear. Hajime finished eating and checked his status.

His status increased a little and he gained resistance to petrification, night vision and presence detection.

"It would have been nice to petrify things with your eyes.

He said disappointed.

Night vision was exactly what it said and presence detection detected living things within 10 meters of him even if he didn't look.

●●●

Hajime replenished his supplies. And easily passed that floor now that he had night vision and presence detection.

The floor that Hajime was on now had the floor covered in tar. Hajime analyzed this tar and found that it was highly flammable. So he had to be careful when using donner, or he would blow up the whole floor.

This tar also made it difficult to move around, so Hajime used several rocks for support or aerodynamics.

At that moment... -gachin-

A magical Beast with rows of teeth appeared beside Hajime it had a shape that could be described as a brown shark.

What? Why didn't the presence detection detect it? Hajime thought as he dodged the creature's bite.

"Tsk it doesn't matter if I can detect it or not! I will kill and devour you!"

The creature entered the tar like a shark in the sea and disappeared.
