Act 4: Chapter 24: The Evil Spirit Dwells in The Deepest Part, Red Violence

By the time I managed to convince Philia to stop her act of violence, the inside of the dungeon had already been put in a half-demolished state.

The original passage had already been blocked by rubble, there were numerous cracks on the floor and wall.

A few monster corpses that got crushed to death by rubbles were rolling around, their corpses looked like crushed tomatoes.

I guess this floor is unusable for trial ground till they fix this place.

I only pray that the stairway to the floor below is safe.

I knew it couldn't be completely safe but, I wish it was safe.

?S-Sorry, Kanata… Will Uncle Raigan scold Philia… For this??

?Let's apologise together later, I'm also at fault for not stopping you…?

I heaved a sigh, and massaged my temple as I spoke to Philia.

Still, I don't think that Raigan would scold Philia if he heard the situation.

Though Raigan also spoke pridefully about how the ?Dragon's Jaw? was the real barrier, not even in his wildest imagination would he expect that a little girl could tear the inside of the dungeon with her bare hands.

?No, wait a minute, we might be able to disguise this as mere earthquake…?

Philia looked into my eyes when I muttered so.

Seeing that, I quickly waved my hands to deceive her.

?T-That's a joke though, ha, hahaha.?

Properly speaking, we could say that a natural disaster had caused this destruction though.

Then I looked at the cracked floor.

?We should be able to go to the lower floor… If we make a hole in this place.?

?A-Are we going to use that method!? I mean, I can't understand what Kanata-san has been talking about since a while ago!?

?Properly speaking, we should stop Philia a while ago…?

Since it was too late now, the passage was blocked, and we needed to create a new passage.

It was slightly different from the shortcut, not that it gonna be a problem at this point.

The three of us then looked at the cracked floor.

It's a bit cramped but, it was possible to go down from this place.

Philia could pass this crack easily but, the same couldn't be said for Pomera and I.

Pomera squinted her eyes as she looked into the cracks, and then looked up to me.

?What shall we do, Kanata-san? Maybe we shouldn't use this kind of extreme shortcut…?

?Pomera-san, get away from there a little bit.?

?… EH??

Albeit confused, Pomera did as I said.

?Time-Space Magic, 10th Rank; ?Dimension Slash(Room Slash)??

My index finger drew a horizontal arc in the air.

At that moment, the floor parts that blocked the cracks sliced like tofu, and fell into the floor below.

Yup, this magic was enough.

I just need to cut the part that blocked the shortcut with ?Room Slash? to create big enough room for us to pass while not affecting the surroundings.

Since the cracked parts seem to be unreliable, I might need to use the 17th rank of space magic, ?Fracture? to prevent it from collapsing.

?In the end, we still ended up vandalizing the dungeon…?

Pomera heaved a sigh as she spoke.

?Well, it isn't that much different from before…?

After clearing my throat as if to escape from responsibility, I jumped into the hole.

I looked at the ?Dragon Eye Crystal? upon landing on the ground.

A faint red colour mixed in the milky white crystal.

According to Raigan's explanation, the crystal was influenced by the magical power of the dungeon.

?Oh, this method is feasible. Let's go, Pomera-san, Philia-san.?

?… Sorry, Raigan-san.?

Muttered Pomera as she shut her eyes before she held Philia and jumped down to the lower floor.

The lower floor was also filled with a lot of monster corpses that got crushed to death.

Averted my gaze, trying to escape from reality.

?Amazing! Philia's crystal really turned red!?

Exclaimed Philia as she poked merrily at her ?Dragon Eye Crystal?.

?Let's go looking for another crack on the floor and enter the floor below from there.?

?Yes! Philia want to see the Crystal-san become even redder!?

Philia seems to be depressed for a moment due to worrying about Raigan but, it was a good thing that her attention was diverted to the colour of her crystal for now.

I mean, her eyes were glowing so brightly.

Thus, we were looking for cracks big enough for us to pass to go down to the lower floor, and then other cracks to go down to an even lower floor.

At that moment, the ?Dragon Eye Crystal? was glowing in red colour.

I wanted to leave once we reached the 5th floor but, seeing Philia looking gleefully at her crystal that changing rapidly, we went down again, and again.

?Time-Space Magic, 19th Rank?Gravibomb??

I fired the black lump of magical power on the floor.

Thus, the light in the room was being swallowed by light.

The opened hole was big enough for a person to pass by.

When we couldn't find cracks, we used ?Graviburn? to open a hole in the floor.

That was the reason why I used ?Graviburn?.

We descended to an even lower floor.

?Wa~! Awesome!?

Philia exclaimed while raising the hand that held on the ?Dragon Eye Crystal? her hands.

The ?Dragon Eye Crystal? was already glowing red at this point.

?I got this feeling that you don't care even if the damage in the dungeon get a little bigger but… Don't you think that this scale is no longer mere vandalism, Kanata-san??

Said Pomera with a complicated look on her face.

?W-Well, this is the last floor I'll do this…?

I scanned my surroundings as I spoke those words with a wry smile.

Yup, though there were a few rubbles, there was no monster's corpse on this floor.

Instead, there were numerous monster's bones scattered on the floor.

It was a testament to how much time had passed after they died.

Something was off.

I turned around the moment I realized that.

Standing before me was a three-headed giant.

They were more than 5 metres tall.

It seems they had yet to notice my presence.

It's been a long time since the last time a monster from ?Distorted World of Cursed Mirro? managed to sneak out behind me.

Their skin was red and their whole body was protected by muscle armour.

Their three head had terrifying faces akin to that of Oni.

The moment I saw their appearance, I understood why such a monster was in this place.

This three-headed giant was the lord of this ?Dragon's Jaw?.

The three-headed giant just standing silently while looking at us.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

?Red Violence?

Race: Titan

???971

???0/5826

???2913/2913

?????????????????????????????????????????????

The three-headed giant, or Titan to be exact, died because a sharp stone stabbed right into into the top of their head.

They died standing.

That was the reason why I didn't feel anything.

Honestly, I was startled just now, thinking that this titan going to ambush us.

?… Let's go back.?

Pomera nodded in agreement while looking at the corpse of the titan with cold eyes.

?… Yeah, let's go back.?
