A pitch-black exoskeleton, with visible golden joints.

A rainbow-colored sword-like horn protruded from the center, and to its left and right are two antennae as pitch black as the exoskeleton.

The appearance of the exoskeleton was remodeled to suit the taste of his lord Rimuru, demon steel has also been assimilated into it.

The unique steel material, containing a large amount of his lord Rimuru’s magic essence, had blended in perfectly with the exoskeleton.

This Living bio-steel (named Adamantine) had a hardness surpassing diamonds, with the flexibility of living flesh, making it an unmatched material.

Made with the highest tier of material, it has become a natural suit of armor.

However his strength, isn’t determined by his exoskeleton alone.

The nature of his strength comes from his thorough lust for battle that rose from his very instincts.

And now, before him his new prey.

All in accordance to his plan.

He is the absolute strongest in the dungeon.

The strongest guardian, Insect Kaiser Zegion.

Raymond and Michel are sitting down in the middle of a flight of stairs, breathing wildly and taking a break.

With sheer luck they had somehow defeated that dangerous monster the white ape.

However, according to reports and from experience, the fact that fallen monsters would resurrect was confirmed to be true.

Thus, they had quickly fled to the stairs before it resurrects.

It isn’t exactly confirmed; however there have been no reports of monsters appearing at the staircases.

Perhaps it was just their small glimmer of expectation, but this may be the only safe zone they could take a rest in.

“Oiwhat now? Should we proceed ahead?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. We’ve only gone down one flight of stars you know?

And what appeared was that monster ape (Byakuen).

If there’s a horde of those monsters ahead we don’t have any means against them right?”

“Yeah that’s true. But youhow do you plan to escape?

We can’t proceed, nor can we escape.

Isn’t this dungeon impossible to clear!?”

That’s where the problem was.

They’ve descended the stairs from the entrance and reached this stratum, however if they try going up again they’ll just end up on another stratum.

They can’t seem to surface.

At first they were able to enter and exist without a problem but soon they ended up on different stratums.

There’s a bit of info that Raymond and Michel couldn’t possible know, but their first entry point was on the 81st stratum.

And from there they had descended down to the 87th stratum.

However, if they tried to get back up they wouldn’t return to the 81st stratum, and if they were on the 81st stratum they should have returned to the 80th stratum.

Ramiris had previously distorted the dungeon, but now that she had cancelled it the only way to get out was via the original way.
