12◇ Conqueror, Dashing (Revised)

Kousuke starts running.

He was careful not to leave Shiro behind.

He crossed the 8th level in a few minutes and detected the sound of battle on the 9th layer.

A monster that looks like a Manticore reflected in his field of view.

His “Eyes” that have evolved due to correction after reincarnation, gained the ability to see everything from afar with crystal clear vision.

That’s why he was able to see the battle far ahead.

Shiro also seems to have caught sight of it and shouted.

“[Cresen Memeus]!? Kuro! This is bad! It is a magic tool holder!”

Some demons have magic tools embedded in their bodies.

They are very powerful, but if you succeed in defeating them, you can get the magic tool.

The possessor of the magic tool, the monster called the guardian of the lowest level, was feared regardless of the labyrinth difficulty level.

Shiro also talked about such things during the labyrinth capture.

“Kuro! Even if it is you, I don’t think you can beat it at level 1!”

Kousuke’s face was so compelling that you could see that he was seriously thinking about fighting it.

Still, I can’t stop.

I can’t even think about stopping.

“It’s ok. I checked it earlier and it was level 2.”

“That’s not the proble– huh?!”

“Shiro just wait here.”

He runs at a speed that Shiro can’t catch up to.

She shouted but was ignored.

A quadruped beast with a human face tore a boy, who wore just a rag, with its claws and carefully brought him to its mouth.

Chewing.

Its middle-aged face shakes in pleasure.

“Di, Li, Shaaaah!” (Cresen Memeus)

It sounded as if it said, “It is delicious!”.

Innumerable bloodstains and body parts were rolling around the ground.

There were three survivors.

The most well-dressed youth must be an aristocrat.

She was laughing while being impatient.

“A magic tool holder! Hahaha! If I can kill this guy, I can look down at those who humiliated me! Hey! I am going to chant a spell! Buy time for that with your worthless lives!”

The remaining slaves, a little girl and a boy, trembled while confronting [Cresen Memeus].

“A, N N’n’n’n, yo? An’n’n’n, yo?” (TL: not sure what this is but it is probably the boy mumbling in fear)

The boy used water magic.

A water ball about the size of a soccer ball was formed and hits the monster.

However, the monster didn’t pay it any mind.

“Nhfuhfufu, Zea, Boannu?” (Cresen Memeus)

It wiped off the water on its face with its foreleg, as if it was only tickled by it.

Then, it hit the boy.

The boy’s abdomen bursts and the contents spilled.

“Di, Di, Li, Shaaaaaa!” (Cresen Memeus)

[Cresen Memeus] slurped the intestines as if they were noodles made by humans.

After eating the internal organs, he gnawed at the bones.

The rest was cheerfully scraped and chewed.

It seems like it was enjoying its meal slowly.

Only one slave remained.

It finished its meal and turned its eyes to the girl.

“A little more, slave! Hold out for a few more seconds and then die!”

Oh, that piece of trash needs to die.

Kousuke was convinced so, but before that, there was something he had to do.

[Cresen Memeus] swings up its forelegs.

It seems that it will eat minced meat this time.

The little girl closed her eyes.

“[Devil Cutting Sword [Slackler Haze]]!!!!”

Running like the wind…

…Right before the little girl is turned into salami…

“As if I will let you!”

With a slashing attack making full use of his speed, he slashed the foreleg of the monster.

“………………e”

The voice came from the slave girl.

If the confirmed death is overturned, it is natural that you would raise a voice.

Kousuke held the little girl in his left arm and cut off the left foreleg of [Cresen Memeus].

Even if it rains blood, Kousuke moves at a speed that exceeds it.

“N, na? Igi, Igi, Ngaa, A, Aya Aa Aa Aa Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

A roar that shakes the atmosphere.

It may because of the pain, or its anger toward the intruder.

Looking back, Kousuke’s blade was broken from the middle.

I forgot to increase its strength, so this is a natural outcome.

Kousuke throws away the broken straight sword.

“Don’t joke around!!”

There, someone yelled.

A blonde adolescent nobleman.

“Ki, Kisa, Kisama! Are you planning to take away my credit? My, the great Circlify Grande=Final Gujiren’s credit??” (TL: Kisama = Bastard)

I couldn’t hear the long name until the end.

That’s because his upper body was preyed on by [Cresen Memeus].

It seems that It couldn’t afford to enjoy its meal, perhaps because he had cut off its arm.

Soon after the lower half of the young aristocrat disappeared into the stomach of [Cresen Memeus] and then, its foreleg was instantly regenerated.

“Kuro, did you save the slave? Let’s run away!”

Shiro, who came near, says.

“No, I’ll stay here. Can you watch over her?”

“Huh? Why!? Let’s escape together! This guy is exceptionally strong you know!?”

“It killed the person I thought I was going to kill. And even if this guy wasn’t in the wrong, I saw it eating humans.”

“………You…are you actually quite stupid?”

“Maybe. I will leave the brat to you.”

“Wah-, won’t you at least listen to me?!”

Even though she says that, I’m sure she will protect the slave.

“Hey, oldman faced creep, you understand right? I have a lot of magical power. It looks delicious, right? Try it –  I’ll kill you before that though.”
