Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

CHapter 148: Daze

At the beginning of the Orario, two Familias had reigned over this city for so long, but due to the failure of the deep expedition in the dungeon, those two Familias disappeared, bringing the era of terror to the long peace that everyone had gotten used to.

In that era of terror, many Familias prepared and died, but some of them won and became one of the greatest Familias in this city, replacing the old. 

One of them was the Loki Familia. 

At that moment, they were on their way to the surface after a long expedition, challenging the dungeon like the old Familia that reigned over the Orario and overtook them before truly becoming the best Familia on the Orario! 

Unfortunately, their expedition failed, and on the 50th Floor, they met an unexpected monster that ruined their weapons and armor, forcing them to return to the surface to recuperate. 

Yet, even if they had failed and were unable to press deeper, they had good gains, especially when they discovered a new species of monster, which made them able to prepare for their next expedition. 

"Even though I can still fight~! I haven't gone on a rampage yet~!" 

"You are nagging too much. It should be almost time for you to stop." 

"Even though we have suffered so much and reached the 50th Floor..." 

After walking for so long, they were about to reach the 17th Floor.

"By the way, it should be almost time for Goliath to respawn, right?" 

"How do you want to fight it?" 

"If it's possible." 

With all the damage they received on their expedition, naturally, they needed money to fix everything, and even if the Goliath was a monster on the 17th Floor, it could give them quite a sum of money as it was a Monster Rex, a powerful monster that only appeared on certain floors.

If one makes a comparison, the Monster Rex is like a boss monster in the game. Naturally, it would generate quite generous drop items, which could be sold for quite a good amount of money. 

"What if someone is faster than us?" 

"What are you afraid of? We are the Loki Familia." 

If there was a Familia that could match the Loki Familia, it would be the Freya Familia. Nevertheless, it didn't mean that they could do whatever they wished. 

"Stop talking and focus on the trip. If Goliath is taken, then there is no need for us to be bothered by it, but if the group that tries to fight it can't handle it, then we can take the charge." 

"Yes!" 

Finn, the Pallum and also the captain of the Loki Familia, said, and everyone followed. 

Yes, they might need money, and as an exploration-type Familia, their source of income naturally came from the dungeon, but even so, they hadn't fallen enough to steal a monster from another. 

However, as they approached the 17th Floor, they felt a strange air that made them feel tense and suffocated. It wasn't until suddenly that they noticed a single figure at the center of the corridor. 

"...who is that?" 

They couldn't see his face since half of it was covered in messy bangs, and he also had untrimmed beards and mustaches that covered most of his features. Yet even with all of that, they could see his sunken cheeks, seemingly haven't eaten for a while. His clothes were also all torn, showing a thin body and prominent ribs, and he was even barefoot, leaving only his navy-colored blue pants with a type of fabric that they didn't know due to the dirt and various things. 

Yet, even if he appeared like a vagabond, someone who hardly had any money or was even weakened to the point of torture, they caught a glimpse of his clear eyes and his hands that were holding two ominous weapons that appeared to be covered in dry blood. 

Still, those with a keen sense of smell felt strange because the scent emitted from this man was pleasant. 

This man was weak, yet why they felt that he was dangerous, they thought. 

He didn't move, and they also observed him for a while until several monsters suddenly spawned at the same time. 

"M-Minotaurs!" 

"There are so many of them!" 

"Let's help him!" 

"Wait!" Finn, who was the leader, noticed something and quickly stopped everyone who wanted to help this weakened man. 

The bull-shaped monster that stood proudly and had a powerful body suddenly appeared at the same time and surrounded the man, but at that moment, the man moved; his movement appeared slow, like a fallen leaf that fell from its tree, yet the moment he moved, all of those twenty minotaurs were slaughtered with ease. 

Some were beheaded, some were cut in half, and some had their heads stabbed. 

The saber and the one-handed poleaxe in his two hands were like a scythe of the god of death that had taken the lives of those monsters to the bottom of the abyss. 

"...." Everyone. 

"He-Hey, isn't he so handsome?" Somehow, a petite Amazoness with a large blade flushed when she saw the man's face. It was just a moment, but when she could see that under that messy, long hair and even under that extreme condition, he had a charm that didn't lose to any gods. 

"..." 

Everyone looked at this Amazoness and felt speechless. 

Was that the point now? 

Shouldn't you be concerned about how he could kill those monsters with ease? 

"Finn." A beautiful elf with emerald hair was also shocked by the man's technique. 

Finn nodded in amazement. "His technique is amazing. He only uses a similar power as humans, yet he could kill all of those minotaurs." 

"Huh? What do you mean?" 

"I mean, he did all of those feats by using his techniques without the help of his Falna." Finn observed Isao and said, "Probably, he is in the middle of training for his martial arts. He probably didn't even notice us here, and everything on his mind was just to hone his skills to the limit." 

"...." 

"Is-Is that possible?" 

"The fact is before us." Nevertheless, Finn became curious about this young man since he had never seen him before. 'A new face?' 

Still, Finn's deduction was correct since this young man didn't even realize their presence and fell deep into his consciousness, entering the void of his internal self, breaking the limit of his skills under an extreme situation where he hadn't fallen asleep, eaten, drank, or done anything else. 

During his stay in the dungeon, this young man spent all of his time fighting, imagining various situations where he had fought many beings singlehandedly. 

"Then, what is he doing here?" 

"There is only one reason." 

As expected, at that moment, a large humanoid monster with gray skin reaching seven meters spawned before the young man. 

"G-Goliath!" 

"Let's help him!" 

"Wait a moment." 

While everyone was startled and many were ready to help, Finn told them to calm down. 

"Do you think he will be okay with his situation? 

Gareth, the muscular dwarf with a thick beard, looked at the thin young man before him with a frown. As Finn had said before, he could see that this young man was so weak, like a branch that could be snapped at any moment. 

Facing this gigantic monster that became the terror of many with such a body meant the same as suicide? 

Yet, when some ignored Finn's order to help this young man, this young man made his move.

His body appeared light as if it had wings on its back. In a single jump, he reached the neck of the Goliath and decapitated it with his two weapons, like a mantis that hunted down its prey cruelly. 

The Goliath couldn't even let out a single roar, and it directly died under his brutal attack. 

 BOOOOOOOOM!

The large body fell onto the ground, defeated, then crumbling into ashes. 

"....." 

At that moment, the young man had also woken up from his daze, especially when he smelled a sweet smell like an anemone flower. 

"...are you okay?" 

The voice was quite awkward and seemed hesitant, yet he could see this young woman's worry, astonishment, and awe. 

"Yes, I am okay." Isao Iinuma nodded and woke up for the first time in six days. "Thank you for asking." 

Still, he had to admit that his luck was as good as ever since he didn't expect that he would meet the heroines directly when he woke up.

There are many who recommend "Tate no Yuusha." Frankly, while I know the story, I haven't watched it much, only the beginning. Still, has it finished? 

Sorry for being a little late.
