Chapter 282- Continued: The Battle Against the Realm Guardian

Tauro was amazed by the stubbornness of the Fenrir subspecies, which seemed to be resistant to all attributes, but then he suddenly noticed something.

While many of the dragon people have the light attribute, there are no dragon people with the dark attribute included in this group.

The Fenrir subspecies in front of me was covered in darkness, so it probably had resistance to the dark attribute, but there are many special types of dark magic.

Moreover, the opponent is deeply wounded and could be defeated with just one more push.

If that is the case, I thought it might work on a weakened opponent.

That is paralysis magic.

In the past, I had tested it on a kobold and confirmed that if it was used on a weakened monster, it would die.

Tauro remembered that.

And now, with “Magic Manipulation (Extreme),” it is possible to manipulate its power.

“I’m going to try dark spirit magic. If the target shifts to me, please defend me!”

Tauro starts chanting immediately.

The leader of the escort team, Tsugumi, nodded his head and entered the wall between Tauro and the Fenrir subspecies.

The Fenrir subspecies was now conscious of Tia’s “Great instigation” and attacked her, but did it react to Tauro’s dark spirit magic?

Chanting at high speed with one of his two heads, he emitted a dark ray of magic at Tauro.

“The target has moved over here! It’s coming!”

Tsugumi warned at the same time as Tauro used his dark spirit magic on the Fenrir subspecies.

The Fenrir subspecies began to suffer.

At the same time, dark ray magic was emitted in all directions, gouging out the ground and flying into the sky.

The dark ray magic flew near Tauro, but Pela the slime broke out of her leather armor disguise and jumped out, and immediately bounced the ray and deflected it, allowing Tauro to avoid a direct hit.

Tsugumi, who tried to intervene and protect Tauro, was also unharmed.

The Fenrir subspecies thrashed around on the spot, but stopped moving after a while.

“…… Tauro-dono. What kind of dark spirit magic did you use?”

Tsugumi gulped down his saliva and stared at the completely changed form of the Fenrir subspecies, which was an unbelievably formidable foe.

“Ahaha …….It is a paralyzing magic, but I thought it probably wouldn’t work with ordinary magic, so I used “Magic Manipulation (Extreme)” to increase its power while specializing in focusing on the part of the body that paralyzes only the heart. He was so deeply wounded and weakened that his heart seems to have stopped. ……”

Tauro was surprised at the power of his magic and thought that it would be better not to use this magic too often, while being dismayed at the feeling of having used a lot of magic power.

Tia, the female leader of the support group, appraises the Fenrir subspecies to confirm its death.

It seems to be really dead.

Tia was disheartened by the disappointing end, but even though it was seriously wounded, she never thought that Tauro would be the one to put an end to this powerful monster.

He was such a formidable foe.

“…… huh? This is a drop item ……. It’s a key.”

When Tia picked it up, the earth began to shake violently.

“””What’s going on?”””

As the group panicked, the ground beside Tia heaved a little and split open, revealing a door.

There was a keyhole there.

I’m sure we can open it with the key in her hands and go downstairs.

“This may be the first time I’ve ever been able to go to a lower level through this kind of mechanism. I didn’t expect the realm guardian to be the key. ……”

Tia was surprised, and without hesitation, she inserted the key into the keyhole of the double-opened door on the ground.

The door slowly and automatically opened to reveal a staircase leading down.

“Tia, why don’t we wait for the Capture group  to arrive first?”

Tsugumi called out.

“I thought it would be closer to the ‘break room’ from here. Look, there seems to be a side passage down there. That must be the ‘break room’.”

Tia, without fear, went down and confirms the room’s existence.

“…… Then again, it’s no wonder the capturers couldn’t find the staircase. No one would expect a staircase to appear where the realm guardian is defeated. ……”

Tsugumi murmured as he peered into the staircase.

Tauro, in the midst of all this, checks the carcass of the Fenrir subspecies while drinking a potion to recover his magical power.

The darkness that covered its exterior disappeared when it died, leaving only the two-headed, white-furred holy beast Fenrir.

The two heads alone were bizarre, but the fact that it was even covered in darkness made it an immeasurable monster in the dungeon.

The same is true for Tauro’s partner, Pella, who is too special.

“…… um. May I take out this Fenrir subspecies magic stone?”

“Yes, it’s fine. It was Tauro-dono who put the finishing blow, and if it weren’t for that, there’s a high possibility that we would have suffered damage as well, so I don’t think everyone has any complaints.”

Tsugumi nodded on behalf of the others, and the others agreed with him as they treated their companions.

“Then, excuse me.”

Saying that, He then tried to cut the heart with his own knife.

But the blade would not penetrate.

“Oh, it’s difficult to dismantle these deep-seated monsters with a normal knife. Many of them are quite hard even after they die.”

One of the support team members said this and held out a knife to Tauro.

“Please use this one. It is a specially processed knife for dismantling. Since It is dead, I think you can dismantle it with a knife like this.”

Tauro borrowed the knife and inserted the blade into the heart where the magic stone was.

The blade went in easily and the magic stone was removed.

It was at that moment.

The “voice of the world” echoed in Tauro’s mind.
