Chapter 215 - CH. 217: Goliath
The misunderstandings cleared up, and we went deeper into the dungeon. Natsumi and her pet group followed behind. Any monsters in our way got stomped by the wolves. The cunning wolves latched onto the monsters while the rest finished them off. The suicidal method worked perfectly on the monster. For a moment I was tempted to add the psycho to my partner's list.
She replenished her pack by summoning more wolves. Every time she did, Alise and others were left staring in awe. This magic was too high-level for their standard.??
Ryuu was no exception. "Now I know why Apollo-sama took her."
Kaguya admired Natsumi's cheat magic with sparkling eyes. "Her magic and Asahi-san's tyrannical strength have limitless potential."
Alise puffed her chest. "Still, my perfection is beyond them."
This woman's narcissism knows no bounds. At least she had the strength to back her words up. She only used pure sword skills to deal with the monsters without extra magic.
—x—x—x—
The narrow tunnels before me expanded. The exit was enough for a large army to pass. Strangely, this time I didn't encounter a single monster on the 17th floor. Every step echoed in the cavern, creating a tense atmosphere.
"Is this?"
"It seems so."
Kaguya and Alise whispered to themselves.
Confused a bit, I kept moving toward the wide end of the tunnel. Without any hitch, we entered the circular entrance.
The spacious rectangular room's walls and ceilings were made up of a mishmash of rocks except for the wall on the left. It was smooth as if some artisan worked on it. The overwhelming difference stood out. My instincts rang as if something was amiss here.s
"Great Wall of Sorrows…" Ryuu whispered.
Natsumi, who walked at the front of the group, stopped and turned around to face me. Her expression gave her a serious air that she previously lacked. "Master, I came here to slay the Monster Rex Goliath."
Ah, Goliath… that big monster. No wonder I felt odd since that spawns behind this wall. Still, it's not that big of a deal. I could even finish the black version if it appeared.
"So it was Apollo Familia's turn?" Alise asked, keeping her eyes on the wall. "We haven't fought Goliath since the ordeal with Evilus."
"Master, will you help me?" Natsumi requested with a soft smile. "My mind is exhausted. These pups alone won't be enough to bring down the Monster Rex."
Her wolves were Level 26, which should be equal to a Level 5. They excelled in magic instead of brute power. Still, for them to kill a boss monster on the 17th floor is too far of a joke.
"Asahi-kun, let me."
"Aa-chan, let me blow its brain!"
Saeko and Rika volunteered before I said a word. Nao clenched her fists, glaring at the wall with a burning passion. Grayfia noticed my gaze on her and retreated to my back.
"My Lord, this monster is too weak for me," she said with telepathy, her voice stoic yet a hint of confidence couldn't be missed.
"Well, Natsumi. Take this," I threw MP potions at the brunette. She made a happy smile before her shoulder slumped.
"I wanted to see Master's divine figure in a fight," she muttered with a pout.
So that's her real motive.
I shrugged. "Sure. My hands have been itching for a fight—"
*Crack!*
A massive crack ran down the smooth wall like a lightning bolt.
*Crack!* *Crack!*
The cracks expanded, each one echoing through the room. The fragments of the wall rained down on the floor.
Then, a silence descended.
*Boom!*
A deafening explosion destroyed the entire wall. A huge figure emerged from the cloud of dust, shaking the room with its first step.
The Goliath towered over us with its seven meters frame. Thick neck, arms, and legs covered in grayish-brown skin. Greasy black hair that reached down its shoulders and crimson eyes that held no hints of humanity.
Every part of its being screamed raw power at its finest.
Why does it look like Eren's titan form?
The Goliath let out a piercing roar that pricked my sensitive ears.
"Shut up."
"There it is, the Goliath," Natsumi roared. "Go forth, my lovely pups. Rip this giant and consume its flesh."
So cringe...
As I took a step, Alise grabbed my hand with a worried expression. "You will hurt yourself."
I couldn't help but stare blankly at the reverse cliché of a guy stopping a girl at the last moment.
"Captain… you're being paranoid," Kaguya said. "He has Natsumi-san's support."
"Yup. Don't you believe in your fellow adventurers?"
Alise made a troubled face and released my hand. "Don't hurt. It's my duty as Captain to keep everyone safe."
"As if something like that thing can harm Aa-chan," Rika muttered.
Nobody heard her.
Nodding at Rika, I dashed toward the cheap titan rip-off.
