Orario's POV

-I'm telling you, a monster attacked us all!

-What did it look like? -Kashima Ouka.

-It was like a blonde woman with four horns on her head, cross-shaped pupils in her eyes, and sharp teeth.

-No monster with this appearance has ever been recorded.

-She simply beat up all the adventurers yesterday! And when we got away from her, she started to simply cast several fire and ice spells while calling us cowards!

-A monster that can cast spells...

-In addition, it seems that she can nullify spells with one of her eyes.

-Nullify spells... This ability has never been seen before... It's going to be very troublesome to fight her.

-What happened here!? -Hestia spoke along with a group of people.

-A monster ended up escaping from the dungeon and attacking all the adventurers and returned to the tower. -Kashima Ouka.

-The Bell is still in there!

~Seventeenth Floor~

-That was fun! Well, now for the hard part. If Goliath is alive, my journey to the safe zone will be complicated. -I say as I walk down the stone corridor.

-I think this message answers my question.

-Hmmm, if I remember correctly, the name of this must be the wailing wall. -I stare at a translucent wall with colors similar to a rainbow.

-Let's go.

I hum the second Mashle opening as I head to the entrance of the eighteenth floor.

BOOM

A huge giant starts to come out of the wall, causing several pieces of stone to fly at me.

Now I understand how the exploration troop felt when they saw a titan.

-RAAAWRR!

The huge giant starts walking towards me, trying to punch me.

With me jumping back and then climbing on his hand as he tries to hit me.

-I learned this from Shadow of Colossus! -I make the fingers of my gauntlet sharper as I try to climb his huge arm.

-GRRRR! -He moves his hand trying to slap me with his palm.

-Do you really think I'm going to let him? -I throw a fireball as his hand approaches.

-ROAAAAR!

Quickly taking advantage of his distraction from his pain, I throw two icicles at his eyes and climb higher and higher.

However, getting irritated by this situation, he swings his arm, throwing me strongly against the wall.

Tum!

-Fuck... -Fallen on the floor, I hear his deafening footsteps coming towards me.

 -He, he, I want a rematch! -I stand up, determined to beat him up.

-RAAAAWRR!!!

But with a scream, a gust of wind or something like that, he throws me against the wall again.

-Shit, do you have something against me!? -I say, standing up again and cursing him.

-W-What!? Oh yeah, I forgot about that -I see Goliath's wounds regenerating.

-To defeat him, I'll have to hit his magic crystal, if I'm not mistaken. -I put my hand on my chin when I remember this and then I enchant a huge fireball, and throw it at his face, destroying his entire head.

I run at the same time that I raise a stone pillar on my feet with my enchantments, thus climbing up his body again.

-It must be here! -I stand in front of his belly at a point a little above where his navel would be.

I begin to tear all his skin with my new claws and drink his blood that flies to my face.

-Ih ih, he he, Ha HA! FEEL THE TRUE STRENGTH OF A DEMON, INFERIOR BEING!

Finally feeling a harder surface, I hit him harder, feeling the vitality of my enemy draining away.

CLACK

The body of the enormous creature dissolves into a black mist and a tooth falls like a drop.

-Hmm, I didn't plan any strategy or do anything different, so that must be why I didn't receive any performance rewards.

-But now is the time to reap the spoils! -I put the tooth in my inventory. However, I feel someone looking at me.

-Huh? -I turn around and see a young man with white hair and red eyes carrying a girl and a guy, staring at me scared.

Damn... I screwed up the events that were supposed to happen, didn't I?

-Pffff, hey kid! Do you want help? -I say resignedly, trying to at least do some damage control to get the protagonist out of this.

-Huh!? Back off! -He lays down his companions and takes out two knives, assuming a combat stance.

-If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't be willingly talking to you. -I say to him in a disdainful way.

-... -Seemingly hesitant, I quickly lower my knives.

-Do you really want to help us? -Asking in a way that was somewhat doubtful of my words.

-This could be my good deed of the day, so why not?

I see him lowering his knives. With me walking towards him.

-I'll trust you. -He hands me one of his companions.

-I always keep my promises.

Author here, if you're wondering why Power now uses ice magic, remember that she read a grimoire about the fire element in the world of Re zero. And as incredible as it may seem, the fire element of that world is basically about manipulating temperature, from what I understand, the best example that proves this is Emília and Puck's affinity for fire.
