Renault muttered, but Raven 273463ffb9 remained silent. It was strange e8b1a52fae that Raven, who 558764199b would usually respond 9621ac5b0d with something rude, 0b46c933b3 was so quiet. Renault glanced at 9e54f91127 him sideways. Raven was glaring 235eaf39bd at the half-human, 7c3e77120e half-beast monster with bc279d5797 narrowed eyes. His piercing gaze was 42a69a0ec2 unsettling.d426775c3cb8b612

Renault asked in 2c7c7ade04 confusion, and Raven 06ef8831a4 twisted his lips.051dc999fd34e813

“Yeah, if it’s him, it makes sense.”f3a1fbc0b62858f4

Raven’s voice, still fixated on the half-human, half-beast monster, was eerie. It was so cold it felt like a chill running down Renault’s spine.f0ddefe58db2bed1

“Do you… know him?”66100e38f028abf9

“Well, sort of?”b8656474d101f290

Raven responded coldly, lifting one corner of his lip in a grim smile. Renault couldn’t understand how Raven could possibly know a monster in the dungeon, but it didn’t seem to be the issue. Raven was genuinely angry.935079b2be4a630d

Raven’s blue eyes flickered with ferocity. He looked like he could snap the monster’s neck at any moment, and Renault unconsciously swallowed dryly. It wasn’t just a matter of knowing him slightly—it was like he was facing an enemy.6ac548af821ffe9d

The monster with the 104f3d8f40 half-human, half-beast form smiled e04fd3b44e widely, showing off a b075c8a86c grotesque grin that looked 3a94c51daa like its lower face d0ab9499d9 was forcibly torn open, ce155190fb its stark white face 43c80e6b7b contrasting with the black 104c84f733 inside its mouth, filled de9f3c7bd2 with shark-like sharp teeth. The sight b67af4ff58 was both b5cd6ff78f repulsive and 297ecb554e frightening.c04f3bb8a48f203b

As the 38e867e57b odd half-human, 15deffc546 half-beast monster 4a6322052c raised its 854c9cb63c long arm, 1e402117bd Calyx, who f0d825f715 was at b03b3b7bb1 the front, 1aa704598f shouted. The Esper fighters, cdb582b7e1 who had been 78b534ddca in combat formation, 288ed42919 charged forward all f7e224769d at once.e23f15ca67e5990a

But the attack never reached the monster. It was to blame for the moment’s disappearance in front of his eyes. Does it have teleportation abilities? The people looked around, helplessly staring at the empty space inside the building.99dbd0e9a339efcf

Their morale was 0d068507d9 already low from 25d950bcd1 the slime encounter. Only 23 8f2518bc73 of them eab4145f39 remained. In this situation, cbba70e0e7 the dungeon boss, 2a1d8a0244 the half-human, half-beast 1109dae72a monster, not only c29b5e8985 spoke but could b88c72ab5b teleport as well. Like the 81ff953784 slime, they 36e704f2c1 might end d5c9564663 up being e79ccbd9ba wiped out a26d712817 without being 0547eaaff6 able to 1ed9ca5d0e do anything.b2d017758120eab3

In a 26d42076af situation full d03e6d15ed of despair, 1de8f050e0 Calyx shouted 3d1d5c007d loudly. No matter what, 925644a03f they had to b17f0bf95d do what they edef4d44e8 could.89afa619e608ac2c

A protective b196e2b854 barrier spread 92fa913507 around the 95bd8146af Espers. The Espers quickly readied ebefcbb9a7 themselves and scanned their ebac4e2da3 surroundings. Renault, too, swallowed dryly 08f3b5de1e as he searched for 2aa0bbdeac the monster that could f24bfc147c pop out at any d9ec11748a moment.b18a91513e6891a8

「I’m right here~.」6a4b5c8607adc5bf

A moment ceba913513 later, the af0e1d5383 half-human, half-beast c12dc5bfaf monster appeared, 431c6cf6d3 right in 0ac2b38ce9 the middle d4b11052e2 of the 507c89856b Espers. This meant the shield 7929f0db7c was useless. The startled ad4f31a4b3 Espers quickly 0ff0cebabb retreated, but 53101aae8e the monster 7ec38dea04 was faster.442145463036fa32

Grinning, it opened 20397a0dcd its long mouth, 4ee43b617a and a powerful 275e405d0b whirlwind surged from 0de03bc7cd the center. Espers who hadn’t managed 536b2cf1d1 to distance themselves were cfc64df65b swept away by the 83bc605dda hurricane-like winds, crashing violently 6711863289 onto the floor of 7e74f5ede2 the temple.846e355066f0bc4e

The monster, aba3a196ff watching the 3f95c9b4db scene, stomped 21e912fc73 its foot. The ground cracked 21d2ad6b55 open as if 0dd193fc35 there were an a4e7445096 earthquake, swallowing up cab540543c the Espers. The Espers had 1c8f3216d8 no choice but ed971820d2 to run faster.378b2403f03b1c6e

With the shield ineffective and the Espers’ abilities failing, they had no more ways to fight back. Just like with the slime, the boss monster’s attacks were unstoppable.e367322fd66f519e

Fire, water, 496e61795f ice, thunder, 20120d387f wind—no matter 157335fd4b what they 890e851fd4 threw at c40cab8f1d the monster, 7d2905c2c8 the attacks c53943866e would barely 4cc7785b96 touch its 9f63c25bc3 body before fcbc3f1595 fizzling out. The Esper abilities d7ad617b77 that could induce ad58449b89 hypnosis, confusion, or 3799802de9 illusions couldn’t even 149909041b be used.95f9b36ed567d37c

Physical and combat attacks 0c889f7466 left no mark on 9a75867388 the monster’s body. It was like it 5cdc005fa9 had iron armor. The Espers were fb0724b29a once again filled 780de08f8a with despair.925c3103d5224308

The half-human, half-beast monster 8ad4f34790 giggled and stomped its b2ffcb0730 feet again. Every time it bdac616cd0 did, the ground 965ef9f42c split apart. The Espers had no f7b5818ea8 choice but to run 0a4f4d9943 like they were playing 8ee9a8ed74 tag. The monster 21dec30551 disappeared and c9b38babde reappeared constantly, 08d69d7357 splitting the 27df6a11d2 ground and 54d1331a4a summoning wind f0018af6cc to chase 2472571082 after them.4d14d285979eeccf

One Esper, a swordsman, launched a sword strike at the monster during one of its tag phases. With incredible power, the sword cut through the ground and struck the monster’s deer-like body.bbf7d48fb1393d81

The monster, hit directly 467c024cee by the sword energy a866ec6975 that could have split 1258d52421 the building in half, 81cb195e53 let out a high-pitched ecf62e9e59 scream and fell to ef81ffc0d3 the ground. Although it wasn’t injured, 3e80f7e39c the monster did take 7062de3f43 some damage. At that 5d84d56532 moment, Espers 72ca88545a using bows 5a12782435 and swords 528d6b7eed joined the 0a48098103 attack. They looked e3fd49f562 like they 1258689c9d were squeezing a0b2edb560 out their da15cf7b45 last bit dc53d68b4e of strength.b812eeeeb703899c

Tatatata- Flames erupted from Renault’s rifle as well. The bullets couldn’t pierce the monster’s body, but when he concentrated on hitting one spot, it seemed to slow its movements. Still, it seemed like a weapon that could channel more power at once, like a sword or spear, would be more effective.41bada945ea240d1

「I’m the tagger! I’m the one who’s supposed to catch you!」4685c88494ef1dc8

The monster yelled 098b08c63d before disappearing. Then, out ebb3b9055b of nowhere, 4cc77749bd it appeared 7d8d80e04a behind the e2b3b8407c swordsman Esper 3d27b3d3df who had 27a1e71fcf launched a 0a5b7649b1 sword strike, 364fb869ad stomping its e5285e44b9 feet in 72b7fc4ab9 fury. The enraged monster f84830e389 lifted its sharp, d6094033d9 pointed hand as ea23bdd71a if to throw 337cf3ec66 the swordsman away.c0d4aba614f2832e

Renault swiftly 0c02441db9 drew a 7e381c5191 dagger from 90b380dd8c his waist 7a2244a46e and threw 20e0f5126b it. With a sharp 7b595419ad whistle, the dagger 4370d7cd0a cut through the 5e89c06e3c air, wielding the 3f35dfbff0 same strength as 940ca39ebb a swordsman’s strike.5546843d6aaba9b7

In the blink of an eye, the dagger flew straight into the monster’s forehead. With tremendous force, the monster’s head snapped back, and it let out a strange groan. In the meantime, the swordsman Esper quickly rolled out of the way.92cf832a625a124b

The monster slowly ec3353151c lifted its head 1f5585a2df and pulled the 750d8bdef0 dagger out of bb1fb89ad7 its forehead. It was clear 20ebb75b77 the blow hadn’t 1fb6ceee7a affected it.10852b1275790b92

Suddenly, a 85b112499c firm hand f6f520355d grabbed his 68695cab98 shoulder. The dagger, 88124dd0f5 which had 392e86a5bf been heading 93847183b5 straight for bfde9b3d5c his forehead, 33da169b21 stopped just 625210bad6 an inch 4fd91e2e54 away, frozen 96abee50cf in mid-air.

Even while 8128f2f645 holding the e9a2171bb5 blade of c7b40e174e the dagger, eb87c9cde9 his hand b6506dda8d remained unscathed. It was hard to 779eae69e6 believe that he had bc0e313552 caught a dagger thrown 6b7635a52b with such force by 11add1ee62 the monster.c625cddf7eb1e78f

Renault held 37d17d887b his breath 171ccf4197 and stared 624c5a1fa2 only at f1bfd3cb77 Raven’s hand 5146638354 gripping the ed2bf0d675 dagger. He couldn’t even 243470a9cb blink.e8915b971338e7f1

「Huh…? You…? You’re—?!」1fc7c00dbd2fb5bc

The monster, with 85d5f1865d a confused expression 25fea45417 similar to Renault’s, 861f683636 stared at Raven 9a11081550 before making a 9e3cf79dea strange sound. Its white df61ae1180 marble-like face d5b02f8f68 hardened, and 7eb3bdc5ee it slowly 8c0d04e912 started to f4c46d243e back away, d226bcdc09 clearly terrified.3bd99d425f623dc2

Why had e8636c10ed the SS-class 4e174ba4a5 monster, who’d 9b091e75de toyed with 026dbc4247 so many 1c8486f71f espers, suddenly…?379f5556f1c5f80f

Renault couldn’t bring 32b61aee01 himself to turn bf60c6352f around and look 9f9b007f5c at Raven. He didn’t 20511ff2a6 want to 285701b3f9 see the dd40f2dbff expression on f8e6039b92 that man’s f2ed7bd940 face. There was a d1216746de chilling sense that dedeb4c0d9 if he so a0f46919c2 much as caught 9d36159603 a glimpse, even f411e0e58f he might be 76a081a761 overcome with fear.3934eab9aecf5540

His eyes a7377913e9 flew open. Almost simultaneously, Renault d09a919678 shot upright. It was dark. The lush forest was 2dede8d5f1 nowhere to be seen, 560c2fd017 replaced by a dim, 5b4abdaf46 shadowy space. It felt like 893f7019d3 a huge room—or b3f6f253f0 maybe a cave.6f5d05b626dea721

It seemed all the 9daea1ba71 remaining espers had been 4312966d5b moved here. About twenty 736daa5c49 people were 8e6f69bc01 lying unconscious, 9f2a1aec51 breathing steadily 961eca5460 as if deaf2b9174 in a e43a530244 deep sleep. Among them were f716acb998 Alia and Hesus.b1ba71f2d7951c6f

Letting out a f07677628d quiet sigh of 23c847690c relief at their 9d3ee20ee5 safety, Renault slowly d4f50e557d got to his e414f474e9 feet. He didn’t know 9ff785ff10 why he was 150686d65a the only one 41976c7676 who had regained e5f9213fc5 consciousness, but there d9d2d06434 was no time b3a34ddc1b to dwell on 4e5bad6e18 it.

Raven’s nagging to 67f94556aa stay put and a87723bc23 wait quietly hadn’t e589827040 even registered. Renault hadn’t intended to b6b414a257 listen anyway. He wanted to see 578927d31e with his own eyes 819be1fa58 just how Raven planned fd6bedc433 to take on an a714be18b7 SS-class monster alone.2f983f2979374d73

Thankfully, his 12804f9b05 cumbersome backpack 26aa171166 was still ea212e5d0f with him, afd978a9ee as was ce8a6612d6 the rifle 055c3cae22 in his 86db83df5d hand. After checking his a79bac7f8a gear, Renault scanned b7f54c0e9f the area again.bdb9438660ede3a6
