balona a territory housing several labyrinths including the miasma Labyrinth the dense Haze of this Labyrinth continues to affect the vision of all adventurers who pass through it the protagonist says all the other adventurers always hated this Labyrinth but I always visit it before I knew it I was being called the miasma scavenger the protagonist then reaches a plantation and comments that there was a lot of miasma today and he was on the sixth floor of the dungeon miasma is a grass with purifying effects and is an Irreplaceable source of income for the protagonist after all

everyone needs to make money the protagonist says well I won't pick much this time just enough for 3 Days suddenly a few rats appear beside the protagonist he comments that they are called miasma rats and many of the monsters living their use my Asma and are toxic contributing to the reason adventurers don't like going to that place but against the protagonist it's simply doesn't work as he passes through the poison smoke easily and starts slicing all the rats in half after stabbing one another jumps onto his are almost biting his face suddenly the rat starts

to Glow golden inside a sphere of energy and explodes right in front of the protagonist suddenly a group of adventurers arrives and says wow a lost guy another one comments that's why I told you not to use all your power before getting closer the protagonist thinks I think I've seen these guys at the adventurers Guild many times a girl extends her hand to the protagonist apologizing and asking if his name is Rudd saying she noticed he was fighting and just wanted to help the protagonist gets up by himself and says I appreciate the sentiment but

it would be nice if you gave a warning before blasting power in my face the man responds that's why I yelled Fireball right the chubby one comments the miasma Colony really was here and the group says they were lucky to find it the protagonist realizes and says so you followed me here because you wanted to see my harvest the shortest and cockiest member of the group responds we're just adventurers making a living in this Labyrinth and by mere coincidence we found you here saving your life you must be the miasma scavenger who can't even say

a proper thank you the group with malicious looks starts drawing their weapons to attack the protagonist seeing the situation the protagonist had no choice he apologizes for doubting their words and thanks them for saving his time the scene then shifts to balona at the Full Belly restaurant the protagonist is there lying on the floor and one of the guys says you Myas a scum every time you're here at the restaurant the smell makes the food taste awful he continues you're doing this because it seems like you can't use your head an adventurer is someone capable

of defeating monsters but you with that useless ability nullification are not a real Adventure in fact you're just trash it's explained that nullification is the protagonist's only ability useful for exploring myasthma labyrinths but inadequate for defeating monsters big or small which is the most vital thing for an adventurer since he has no combat ability ities he was never welcome at parties and was named the miasma scavenger for seeking out low-level items inside that miasma Labyrinth and other words due to the protagonist's flawed abilities he is seen as a fraud by other adventurers he's already an

adult man but unfortunately he still has to fight life and death battles against mere rats lying in his bed he wonders if he can really continue living his life like this being a myasus scavenger the scene then shifts to the adventurer's guild the protagonist enters and says he needs to find another Colony as soon as possible while he still has some money he enters the room and wonders huh what's going on here it seems much noisier today the protagonist approaches the receptionist and asks do you have any good requests today the woman responds you're the

miasma Hunter aren't you so kid a new Labyrinth has been discovered this makes the protagonist very excited and the woman continues this new place is filled with various treasures and unity magic a golden opportunity for any Adventurer the protagonist thinks so that's why it's so noisy here today the woman adds Oh and about the miasma herb you usually hunt from today on its price will drop a bit the protagonist is outraged why is the miasma price dropping so much the woman explains the miasma Labyrinth has never been so popular and since people will go to

the new Labyrinth there won't be demand she continues the new Labyrinth is in the aelo mountains but entry is not allowed the protagonist asks why is entry not allowed she replies the exploration requirement for the new Labyrinth is being rank D or higher and you rud are rank a so you're not qualified to enter this frustrates the protagonist greatly he says he really wants to dive into this new Labyrinth since he has nothing left to lose and asks if there's any way to get in the woman responds those are the rule kid even if you

go there you'll just end up dying in vain suddenly a blonde man appears behind the protagonist and says if you want to go to this place so badly why not join my group as a porter the scene shifts to a carriage where the protagonist is with the blonde man's group ready to go to the new Labyrinth the man says it's great to have met the protagonist and that he needed someone to carry the materials from the new Labyrinth but couldn't hire anyone in time the protagonist thinks this probably happened because all the Guild's adventurers are

gathered at the new Labyrinth making it really hard to find a porter the girl in the group asks why are we diving with a miasma scavenger another member replies couldn't you have found someone better the blonde man smiling awkwardly says oh guys don't say that he's been an adventurer for a long time isn't it better to have some someone with a lot of travel experience than a newbie by our side he continues let me introduce myself again my name is beay leader of the Scarlet sword those two over there are Rick and Sasha and the

three of us are d rank adventurers the protagonist says my name is Rudd I'm e- Rank and it's a pleasure to work with you Bayer then says before we dive into this Mission I'd like to know more about your stats can you show me your guild card the protagonist responds all right I'll show you he says Guild card open and all of his stats appear Bayer is is interested since the protagonist can even use Fire magic and the protagonist explains the powers are too weak for battle but they can be useful in Dark Places or

for cooking Bayer laughs and says that is indeed useful and that he's counting on him the scene shifts again and they finally arrive at the entrance of the newly discovered Labyrinth the girl says looks like we're the first to arrive and another comments let's explore it quickly before more adventurers show up however when they open the door they see it is already crowded with adventurers everywhere the girls starts yelling it's going to be awful with all these annoying adventurers bothering us Bayer says it seems the first layer has already been overe explored Rick suggests shouldn't

we dive deeper there should be fewer people there Sasha happily agrees saying they will do just that the protagonist says that's not quite right this is a newly discovered Labyrinth wouldn't it be better to start mapping the first layer the girl responds I can't believe I'm hearing this from a porter that's why you're such a low and insignificant rank Bayer intervenes it's best to give up Rudd doesn't really present any significant damage and I agree with both of you if we keep going like this we won't get good results so we'll have to go deeper

into the Labyrinth they reach the fourth layer of the aelo labyrinth and as soon as they step there a wolf attacks the protagonist Rick arrives and bashes the wolf's head mocking the protagonist and telling him not to be afraid of such Small Things Sasha then uses an electricity power and electrocutes the Wolf while Bayer slices the other wolves in half with his sword the protagonist is amazed seeing that everyone there was really strong and he couldn't even move a finger to help because he was paralyzed with fear Sasha comments that diving deeper is really the

right way to do it especially without other people around Bayer agrees saying the monsters there weren't extremely strong and that they even found some Treasures along the way Rick then starts yelling at the protagonist ordering him to collect the materials from the monsters he defeated the protagonist responds that he can't collect the materials from those monsters because they are too damaged and their magic stones are likely shattered Rick says but what if they're not shattered you useless idiot you better not push your luck this group is full of losers man I can't believe this the

protagonist remembers how Rick killed those monsters and knows he can't confront him he says all right I'll try to collect them then the protagonist approaches one of the wolves that Rick destroyed and observes why is this thing's body completely disfigured and crushed like this its guts are all over the place and the smell is horrible the protagonist thinks it's best to burn the body a bit first and start doing so Rick pastoring the protagonist says hey old man what are you doing burning that monster do you think I'm going to eat that rotten meat although

I've been exploring for a while now and I'm starting to get hungry even that horrible monster meat is starting to look delicious to me Sasha responds man you're so disgusting that's gross among adventurers it's taboo to eat monsters since their Mana would be absorbed into our bodies who knows what would happen to us if we ate that Rick says well I was joking you take everything too seriously when we get back back I'll use the money we earn to eat all the delicious food I want just as Rick said that they all felt an incredibly

High Mana so Sinister it left everyone horrified when they looked back they saw it was a Minotaur the protagonist in shock realized that this monster was rank B far superior to him and even to his group he could only wonder what a rank b monster was doing in such a shallow layer Sasha said it would be impossible to face such a monstrosity so what could they do at that moment Bayer then said he would use a skill and asked Rod to lend him his backpack as quickly as possible Bayer shouted for Rudd to keep his

movement slow the protagonist asked if Bayer had a plan for that absurd situation with a malicious smile Bayer replied of course I have a plan and a fine one at that he then drew his sword and made a huge cut across the protagonist's back the protagonist fell to the ground writhing in pain unable to believe what had just happened berer asked Rick to activate his haste ability which doubled the target's speed the protagonist realized that from the beginning they had brought someone in into the group just to abandon them in case something happened Bayer said

why do you think we brought a failure like you who is only good for Gathering my asthma they then left the protagonist there to Die the Minotaur began brutally attacking the protagonist who could only think that he would unfortunately die there with nothing he could do the Minotaur was pummeling the protagonist mercilessly I don't even know how our protagonist didn't die from the first blow as the Minotaur slammed him into the wall with a shoulder charge suddenly they broke through the wall and fell into a gigantic C crater when the protagonist opened his eyes he

thought he was already dead but realized he had fallen onto the minotaur's body which had cushioned the fall a bit however this didn't mean much as he was severely injured bleeding profusely and had no chance of survival the protagonist thought it was only a matter of time before he lost his life whether from blood loss hunger or some other cause he was very hungry and needed to eat something before dying looking at the dead Minotaur he began to think he could eat the monster but imagin this could lead to an even greater disaster he reflected

on his miserable life until he started hearing a voice saying listen well child no matter how hard or painful your life is you must never give up with those words the protagonist stands up with hatred in his heart and begins to brutally Devour the Minotaur as he eats the monster's flesh he thinks that if an exhausted human eats the meat of a monster rich in Mana the Mana particles would invade his body transforming him into something worse than death but the protagonist had nothing left to lose and starts tearing into the monster to regain his

life lost blood and satiate his hunger rud takes a gamble resulting in an unexpected transformation in his body after devouring the entire Minotaur the protagonist walks through the Labyrinth carrying the axe he took from the Minotaur his expression no longer seemed human a group of monster bats attacks the protagonist who activates a skill called Roar intimidating all opponents and tearing apart those nearby he also activates the physical enhancement skill which boosts his strength the minotaur's axe glows like magma and the protagonist starts sling icing through the remaining monsters eating their corpses after eating the bat's

flesh he gains a new skill called echolocation which detects creatures around him effective in darkness activating the skill he senses many monsters nearby if it had been the protagonist from minutes ago he would have been terrified but now he was different he thinks well they're coming in swarms so let's see who's going to eat whom now the protagonist begins to tear through all the monsters in front of him with absurd brutality seemingly having lost his Humanity the protagonist says the axe finally fits perfectly in his hand and that he can feel the monster's magic without

even looking at them he is somewhat out of control enjoying his power and starts killing more monsters he even grabs a monster's eye and starts devouring it the more he eats pieces of the monsters the more he feels an unimaginable power flowing through his body with each monster he devours he becomes more aggressive and intense now the ones starting to feel fear are not the protagonist but the monsters after a massacre of Monsters the protagonist manages to Escape The Labyrinth seeing the Blue Sky he says well I finally managed to survive at least once in

my life alone and starts shouting and celebrating his feet the scene then shifts back to the adventurer's guild everyone there seems surprised and a man at the front says well after hearing your report I gathered all the adventurers who were in The Labyrinth except for Rudd who went with you this man was from the balona branch and was actually a guild master named Lan Cary Bayer's Trio was pretending to be concerned about rud with Bayer almost crying when we encountered the Minotaur on the fourth floor he was unfortunately killed before we had a chance to

protect him Sasha even pretended to cry showing an impressive performance The Guild Master says unfortunately I understand the situation so for now I'll prohibit entry to the new labin suddenly the receptionist who is feeling down is surprised to see someone at the door when everyone looks back they see that it is rud the protagonist entering everyone exclaims no way how is this kid Not Dead ruds return shocks Bears group beer very insincere and Shameless hugs the protagonist asking if he is all right he gets close to rud's ear and Whispers if you say anything unnecessary

in front of everyone I will definitely kill you here all the group's false members ask if the protagonist is injured saying they went back to look for him but the Labyrinth was already closed Bayer then says guys anyway let's celebrate our dear friend's survival but of course let's not celebrate in a place like this right rud when Bayer touches the protagonist's shoulder he feels something strange as he couldn't move a muscle the protagonist very serious shouts for everyone to hear these bastards used me as a pawn scaring everyone present Bayer embarrassed asks Rudd what are

you talking about why are you saying that the Guild Master interrupts boy what do you mean by being used as a pawn without hesitation the protagonist responds Bayer stole all my supplies and attacked me from behind Rick used his skill to lure the monster to me and Sasha used a speed skill for the three of them to escape and leave me behind Bayer Locked In Fear desperately tells the Guild Master that they did nothing of the sort claiming that rud was hallucinating from the blow the Guild Master looking at a person entering through the door

says now we will clarify the truth a small woman with white hair looking like a sorceress enters the room leaving everyone surprised she was an officer of Truth who rarely left the Royal Capital The Guild Master explains that due to the unusual number of deaths among temporary Porters he brought the officer of Truth he then asks the officer please respond to the complaints from Bayer and Rudd could you verify the truth of this story and tell us who is being honest the officer removes the cloth from her mouth and says the members of the Scarlet

sword are lying she raises her staff which emits an intense light around everyone and declares Rudd's complaints are entirely true everyone is impressed by her statement and Whispers begin about Bayer's group's motives Bayer not taking the situation well starts to go mad and says How could a spoiled little girl like you know something so precisely The Guild Master responds this little girl has the truth ability a skill impossible to obtain later in life rivaling even unique abilities absolutely no lie not even from the world's greatest liar can pass through this ability he continues what could

be more reliable than the words of someone who dedicated this great power to her country to help all the wronged people who do you think I would believe Boy The Guild Master says abandoning a comrade during an expedition Adventure or in labyrinths is a huge taboo among adventurers and not just that you intentionally th through your comrades to die as pawns even if everyone here continues investigating your crimes it's certain that your adventur certification will be revoked all of you will be reduced to slavery and rightly so Sasha begins to have a severe anxiety attack

crying and saying that this can't be possible Rick the toughest one says man you must be kidding me how can you do this to us Bayer the most outraged says how can someone as talented as me become a slave this doesn't make any sense he looks at the officer of Truth with hatred and says if this medler weren't here no one would have ever discovered my foolproof plan blinded by rage Bayer charges with his sword to attack the girl he was so distraught that he didn't care about all the witnesses to the atrocity this action

surprised the protagonist the Guild Master and the officer of truth but with Incredible speed the protagonist dashes forward and protects the girl with his sword leaving Bayer shocked at the agility of someone of a lower rank the protagonist with a fierce look says don't you dare touch the officer of Truth With Your Filthy Hands Byer couldn't believe that Rudd had stopped his attack the protagonist then delivers a punch so powerful that it sends Bayer flying creating a massive crater in the wall Sasha and Rick are impressed by the protagonist strength especially since they were the

ones who mocked him the most in the Labyrinth the protagonist says well I guess I overdid it that wasn't very good The Guild Master takes the protagonist to the reception room and says sorry to bother you kid but we need to talk a bit I know you're tired but I hope you understand the protagonist responds that it's all right because this is is very important The Guild Master explains that the three will be taken by the reconnaissance team interrogated and if confirmed that they used Porters as bait they will lose all their positions and qualifications

as adventurers and be reduced to slavery Bayer went as far as to defy the officers of Truth so he probably won't be seen again anyway they will lose the rights to the profits obtained in the new Labyrinth it's only fair that you receive all of this there are about 200,000 Regin in this bag so please accept it the protagonist leaves the room with the bag full of money very happy thinking that he could cover all his expenses earning that much money by capturing my Asma grass would take more than a century he realizes that adventurers

can really make a lot of money looking around he notices that no one is insulting him perhaps because they saw what he did to bear this doesn't mean they will be kind but he thinks if I stand out more some will think I'm rising too quickly which will be suspicious so I guess I should continue making money in the my Asma Labyrinth just like before the protagonist says to himself I need to stop being sad and do something about it I finally got some significant money I'll prepare all my equipment and eat whatever I want

but first I'll head to the tool shop he comes across a bag and wonders if it's really magical changing his mind he says well I think I'll grab something to eat first the scene then advances to the next few days the protagonist is in the middle of a mine killing a bunch of monster rats he thinks who would have thought they could be defeated so easily and to think I had to escape from five of them to avoid dying a few days ago ago the protagonist then activates one of his skills called evaluation and starts

analyzing the dead rat's body he notes all the attributes of the monster and realizes that the skill he gained from eating those monsters can be used on corpses seeing the rat's level he thinks I wonder how much My Level has increased now since I killed that rat so easily I must be around level 20 the protagonist then checks his status and sees that he is an e- rank level 42 which shocks him because he had Advanced so much he was level 7even the day before this is very rare I need to see what skills I've

acquired he thinks opening his skill section he has so many skills that they don't fit on the screen the protagonist is thrilled with all of this as he went from a complete failure to someone extremely powerful the protagonist looks at the wall that was broken during the fight with the red Minotaur now sealed the Labyrinth will probably remain closed for a long time he had planned to slowly explore the miasma Labyrinth but now he wants to test his new skills in the deeper floors he also wants to test the bag he bought not even knowing

if it was magical I want to choose the right monster for my first try I'll go to the sixth floor he says the protagonist descends floor by floor slaughtering monsters along the way after passing through several floors and killing many monsters he reaches the 24th floor and encounters a humanoid lizard the protagonist activates the evaluation skill again and sees that the monster is level 25 from the dragon tribe race lizard Soldier huh they usually fight in coordination with their companions but there's only one one here that's strange it might be worth trying to kill it

he thinks without thinking twice the protagonist charges with his sword to cut the lizard's neck but the lizard notices the attack and Dodges resulting in a cut on its arm you're not too bad huh but next time I won't miss says the protagonist as he considers his next move the lizard flees into a dead end alley now you have nowhere to escape says the protagonist but realizes it was a trap there were more lizards with it worried the protagonist thinks he was too confident even with a vast difference in level the situation was Dire the

lizards begin to attack but he Dodges easily if that's the case I'll take them down one by one the protagonist thinks he focuses on one lizard but is interrupted by another that throws him aside another lizard nearly hits his head that was close almost got me he says smiling the protagonist sees many lizards around him and wonders how many there are observing the situation he hears a loud sound and notices a distinct lizard in the back using evaluation he sees that it is the lizard General level 32 ah I finally found their leader so you're

the boss he thinks the lizard General begins to shout and all the other lizards start attacking the protagonist insanely the protagonist activates his physical enhancement skill and starts beating up all the lizards that jump at him crushing one's head with a Stomp and using the momentum to attack the general the protagonist lands a full sword strike on the General's chest but is shocked to see that nothing happened the general wasting no time prepares to attack the protagonist Point Blank the protagonist thinks he can't avoid the blow at that distance and activates his steel body skill

he says you're not the only one with tricks up your sleeve huh Captain the protagonist wonders about the lizard's power that prevents it from being hurt and uses evaluation again to understand the enemy's abilities he discovers that the general has skills in one-handed swordsmanship Shield technique miasma resistance and command confused the protagonist realizes that the general doesn't have any durability enhancement skills observing the skills of the other lizards he notes that they all have swordsmanship and my Asma resistance but no special abilities so where is this resistance coming from suddenly he sees a lizard with

a cut across its chest investigating the skills of this lizard he finds that it has a skill called substitute the protagonist realizes that this lizard was taking all the damage without hesitation he pierces the lizard's abdomen and says it must be tough being a substitute but don't take it personally the general Furious charges at the protagonist along with the other lizards the protagonist uses his thread ipulation skill and leaps saying when they gather like this it makes things much easier he throws all his threads over the lizards trapping them at once reaching the lizard General

the protagonist says looks like the victory is mine without a second thought he decapitates the general after killing all the general subordinates the protagonist thinks now it's finally time to eat he takes out the magical bag he bought with the guild money and begins pulling out various cooking utensils instead of weapons or armor he pulls out spices and kitchen equipment the protagonist thinks when I was desperate to survive I really wanted to try this he starts skinning the lizard meat slicing it into various pieces and then calmly fries the meat he wonders if properly cooking

and eating the monster's meat will allow him to gain skills or better abilities salivating with Hunger he begins to eat the lizard meat and comments who would have thought monster meat would be this delicious I might actually be getting addicted to monster meat thinks the protagonist he then gains the lizard skills one-handed swordsmanship Shield Tech technique my Asma resistance and command I got new skills but how can this meat be so good could it be related to the magical powers the monsters possessed the minotaur's abilities and the spider armor have been very useful but I

still haven't tried the thunderwolf and black serpent skills it's fine I don't need to rush now on the way back I can try eating more varieties of Monsters the scene then shifts to the 21st floor where the protagonist sees wasps and poisonous frogs he activates his lightning skill electrocuting everything in his path this lightning skill is very useful for sweeping away multiple monsters at once he comments he notes that those monsters can infect people with diseases but they chose the wrong opponent the protagonist takes out his frying pan saying now he has frog and insect

meat and it's time to eat he grills the meats commenting that the Frog's Venom makes the meat tenderer and tastier and the seasoning reminds him of morchella he wishes he had a beer to go with it after eating he gains new abilities poison temperature variation powder scale poison par paralysis powder scale and aerial slice suddenly the protagonist Hears A noise behind him like a fall and a human voice could there be other adventurers here he wonders it's rare to see other adventurers in combat and if I'm lucky I can exchange information with them the scene

changes to a group of adventurers where a woman lies on the ground stabed one of the men says damn it I can't believe she still had so much magic left another man comments but all this trouble was worth it he pulls the hood off the woman revealing an elf how much is an elf he asks the protagonist appears behind them and says I had some hope of making a few Adventure Friends everyone is startled and turns around I don't know the whole story but I can't stand by and watch a woman being attacked cowardly says

the protagonist one of the men with a scar over his eye asks who he is the protagonist responds with a smile I'm just an adventurer the elf shouts for the protagonist to leave quickly explaining that those men are not ordinary adventurers but Adventurer Hunters Adventurer Hunters huh I've heard their high level adventurers comments the protagonist he sees the men's levels 55 52 56 58 this startles him as he didn't expect such strong opponents he wonders if they have concealment skills or tools against magic the man with a scar over his eye who has the highest

level orders his henchmen to capture the protagonist the scene shifts to the protagonist being attacked by a group of guys he's surprised by their speed but manages to defend himself barely avoiding the attacks one of the attackers complement his skills to to which the protagonist retorts that it's actually the attacker who's too weak the attacker angrily vows to crush the protagonist's head in response the protagonist uses his poison ability spitting Venom into the attacker's face the Venom corrodes the attacker's face like acid causing him to fall to the ground screaming in pain the other attackers

watching from a distance are shocked and questioned if he really just spit poison they comment that it's almost like he's a monster the protagonist remarks that his way of fighting is reckless and unbefitting of an adventure but it's the only way he knows to survive one of the attackers notes that his poison ability is unique and that they shouldn't underestimate him they decide to attack him all at once one blow barely misses the protagonist's head and he realizes that if he stops for even a second he'll be killed he notices that one of the attackers

has iron body ability the attacker lands a blow throwing the protagonist into some mud or sludge the attacker comments on the protagonist resilience thinking he could have broken his neck with that kick the protagonist slowly gets up and another attacker threatens to end his life right there but the protagonist simply turns and runs the attacker yells at him to stop running and fight like a man but as he prepares to chase another attacker with a scar tells him to stop warning that the swamp is poisonous and there's no guarantee he'd survive if he continued he

assures that the protagonist won't withstand the swamp's poison for long and will return soon the protagonist waits for the attackers to leave the swamp but they don't move he wonders how long those bastards Will Wait deciding to fight like an adventurer he acknowledges his luck in falling into the poisonous swamp besides the usual miasma the surrounding Vapor quickly drains the attacker stamina one of the attackers complains about the time the protagonist has been in the swamp and another mentions that it's been 10 minutes and he doesn't feel well the protagonist decides to leave the swamp

commenting on the effects of the poison and miasma the attackers irritated ask if he's finally given up accusing him of causing too many problems the protagonist responds that unfortunately for them he's immune to abnormal statuses and doesn't understand how much they're suffering one of the attackers Furious orders his Lackey to kill the protagonist the lackey's advance but this time the protagonist defends more easily noticing that the swamp's poison is gradually draining their stamina and the accumulated miasma is lowering their stats one of the hunters tries to attack the protagonist from behind but the sword strike

has no effect as he's activated his iron body ability impressing the attacker the protagonist then activates his lightning mantle ability placing his sword on the ground he electrocutes everyone around the enemies are eliminated in a single strike one of them curses accusing the protagonist of cheating the protagonist emanates a green aura from his hand and uses an ability called air slash cutting through everyone in front of the scarred man impressed the scarred man comments on the protagonist's various abilities including poison iron body lightning mantle and air slash the scarred man asks why a human protagonist

has so many Monster abilities the protagonist Advan advances towards him saying it's none of his business he lands several blows on the scarred man who realizes that despite being Superior in hand toand combat against humans he's losing because of the miasma frustrated at needing to use this ability against the protagonist the scarred man activates his agility boost and charges again the protagonist activates his physical enhancement ability and with a single blow shatters the scarred man's sword and delivers a precise cut to his chest leaving him on the ground the protagonist reflects that without the normal

status effects the scarred man would be much stronger than him the scene shifts to the protagonist helping an out she thanks him for saving her saying she doesn't know what would have happened without his help the protagonist responds that he wouldn't leave her in such an unpleasant situation though she tries to remain composed her body is still greatly affected by the miasma the protagonist did what he could to provide first aid but wonders why an elf is in such a remote area and being pursued by Adventurer Hunters suddenly a gigantic monster appears before for them

using his appraisal ability the protagonist identifies the giant creature as the leader of the moths from the insect race and level 37 its abilities include poisonous scales parasitic scales poison resistance miasma resistance air slash and moth eyes the protagonist decides to attack the giant moth declaring that it won't defeat him just because it's big The Moth launches an air slash that almost hits the protagonist and the elf he asks if the elf is okay and she confirms the protagonist comments on the scare and says he needs to repay it the moth backs off but the

protagonist uses his air slash ability to launch himself at it slicing it up however the moth activates its parasitic scales ability the protagonist Smiles saying parasites don't work on him but he notices the parasites heading towards the elf the elf grabs her staff and casts a powerful wind spell impressing the protagonist with her strength he reflects that this is expected from an elf the protagonist finishes off the moth by stabbing it in the head the elf comments on the protagonist's ability I ities being similar to those of monsters he thinks about how to explain it

to her but the elf collapses from the my asma's effect the protagonist asks if she was hit by the parasitic scales and she replies no that it's something else the elf says that once they get out of there it isap she'll share a bit of her story with him the protagonist helps her out the door and they sit under a tree the elf says she feels much better now that she's out of the labyrinth she begins well before I explain everything that happened to me let me introduce myself my name is Alisha and I'm a

former Adventurer hearing her name the protagonist is surprised and asks wait are you the Alisha from the emerald storm she smiles and replies ah so you already knew about me huh he says of course I know you you're from one of the most renowned ranks in the Kingdom of ludus the Azure Trails everyone knows the members of that group but if I remember correctly something happened to the Azure Trails Alicia then explains that's right 5 years ago we were defeated by monsters that day we challenged a monster waiting for us in the depths of the

srank dungeon called The Abyss dungeon in that battle we lost our leader another member had to retire due to severe injuries and another was devoured by the labin even I didn't come out unscathed she starts to remove some of her clothing and the protagonist asks what are you doing she shows a purple mark on her chest and says this is the curse placed on me that day it's called the low-level curse the protagonist responds low-level curse I've never heard of that she continues neither had I I tried every possible method to break it but I

only managed to slow its progress those Adventure Hunters discovered my curse and plan to exploit it for profit but in the end I'll die when my level reaches zero even so I couldn't bear the thought of surrendering to those guys the protagonist thinks for a moment and says you know maybe I can help you with that curse he takes out a type of card and activates his echolocation and substitution abilities the substitution ability allows him to take all attacks and negative statuses from a chosen Target he asks the elf can you accept the ability I'm

about to activate not fully understanding she says yes the protagonist touches her shoulder a purple Aura emanates from his hand and he activates the substitution ability transferring the curse from the elf to himself the elf asks him to stop worried that he might be affected by the curse but he smiles and says relax it's okay trust me suddenly the curse manifests behind the protagonist impressing the elf after transferring the curse he activates his unique ability to nullify abnormal statuses making the curse disappear instantly the protagonist says well well I think it worked right the elf

amazed checks her Guild card and sees that she's srank level 43 with normal status she can hardly believe the curse is broken the protagonist explains that his unique ability is to nullify abnormal statuses and he thought he could nullify the curse if he took it upon himself he adds I'm glad it work the elf a bit irritated and relieved says are you an idiot or what risking so much for someone you don't even know but then she smiles and thanks him anyway thank you very much for helping me the protagonist places a hand on her

shoulder and replies you're welcome the scene shifts to a banquet where the elf is enjoying herself and drinking beer she comments the food here is very cheap and the beer is delicious you really know the good spot huh the protagonist responds I've even been kicked out of here before but what about you are you okay drinking like this weren't you Gravely injured just a few hours ago the elf laughs and says I'm ready for anything besides on a day as good as this why wouldn't I drink the protagonist then asks so what do you plan

to do now Alicia she replies well I think I'd like to get to know you a little better Rudd why did you decide to become an adventurer he begins to tell his story a long time ago the village where I lived was attacked by monsters they killed my entire family and friends took everything I had but thanks to an s-rank adventurer I survived that tragedy that s-rank Adventurer appeared in front of me when I was just a child before me was a gigantic creature looking like a multi-headed serpent or perhaps several monstrous snakes I was

crying a lot staring at the face of that man who smiled at me he delivered a single blow that disintegrated the monster then he approached me still crying and just smile I will never forget the sight of that Adventurer since then my dream has always been to become an srank adventurer to help those in need that has been my greatest goal in life up to now the elf smiling responds that's a truly great goal the protagonist asks but you're not going to laugh at me still smiling she replies I also dreamed of reaching S rank

I always aimed to get stronger even before I was cursed I'm sure I still have comrades trapped in the depths of the Abyss dungeon so no matter what I will challenge that Monster again but for now we need to get stronger to achieve our goals how about forming a team with me she extends her hand to the protagonist but as he goes to shake it other guys appear grabbing her rest one of them says drinking with a cutie huh you my Asma butcher the protagonist recognizes the guys from before and thinks these guys again they

continue stop drinking with this guy and come drink with us sweetheart the prot grabs one of them by the shoulder and says let her go now the guy retorts you've lost your sense of danger huh the elf stands up asking them to stop and says you forgot that we're in a Tavern if you want to fight there's another way to compete the scene shifts and the three are at a table seeing who can drink the most the elf stands up smiling and says let the best Drinker win they start drinking intensely the table fills with

beer mugs and everyone is celebrating the two guys end up passing out from drinking too much and the elf still fine is declaring the winner she looks happily at the protagonist who smiles and gives her a thumbs up he comments you did great considering you were already drunk before the competition she smiles and says you're my savior I won't stand by while they ridicule My Savior then she collapses into the protagonist's arms he says I guess there's no other choice he activates his substitution ability and says I transferred your drunkenness to me after all I

can't get drunk she happily says first my curse and now my drunkenness this ability of yours is amazing I've never seen anything like it now more than ever I want to form a team with you even sober she continues drinking the protagonist comments what a way to say thank you the scene changes the elf is looking at the main menu in comments it's a shame I can't try their main menu the man then explains to tell the truth it seems that monsters have taken over the fishing grounds of baramas I've already sent a request to

the guild but all the high level adventurers are out if you two are willing why not take my request the scene shows the Barn's fishing area area with the protagonist and the elf already sailing there she comments so these are the baram's fishing grounds huh let's defeat these monsters as quickly as possible so we can eat that delicious special dish says the elf the protagonist all excited agrees suddenly something catches the protagonist's attention and he quickly Dodges something launched from the water smiling he says Ah finally that monster has arrived this is what the owner

was talking about the elf however doesn't like the situation at all when the camera shows from above we see a ridiculous number of these Monsters the protagonist sees that the monsters are Level 23 and have highspeed swimming water bullets and sniper abilities they all start launching attacks at him which he defends with his sword while saying one shot after another he realizes that he won't be able to avoid them with the limited space to maneuver just as he thinks that he's thrown into the water in the water the protagonist smiling says I'm here you little

fish bastards the school of fish starts attacking him but he's no fool and uses his lightning manal ability electrocuting them all since water is an excellent conductor of electricity after all of them are fried the protagonist emerges from the water the elf asks if he's okay and he replies that he is but some monsters remain he notices that the remaining fish are at the bottom and wonders why they're not attacking guessing they might be protecting something shouting to the elf he says he's going to dive to see what's happening and asks her to do something

for him he ties a rope around his waist and descends to the bottom passing the monsters the protagonist notices that the fish neither attack nor flee concluding they are indeed trying to protect something as he descends further he sees a very large creature at the bottom analyzing it he discovers its level 38 with parasitic poison autonomy poison resistance and accelerated healing abilities he realizes the creature isn't an enemity but a giant hermit crab with fish coming out of its tentacles understanding that killing just the fish won't solve the problem the protagonist decides to attack the

crab however one of the creature's tentacles grabs his leg and and all the fish start attacking him again he realizes the fish were trying to distract him from the tentacles grabbing one of the tentacles he says oh if that's how you want to play fine and activates his lightning mantle ability the protagonist thinks as long as you're in contact with me even a body as big as yours shouldn't resist the creature's tentacles release him and he remembers the monster's autonomy ability realizing it cut off its own tentacles to avoid fatal injuries the creature Furious charges

at the protagonist who begins to run out of air due to the time spent underwater he gives a signal by pulling the rope and says I'm counting on you Elicia she responds leave it to me and starts casting her magic pulling the protagonist up at high speed the scene shifts showing she managed to pull him to safety the elf asks the protagonist if he's okay and breathing he gets up and thanks Alicia for saving his life the protagonist explains that there's a boss down there continuously producing all those fish and has an accelerated healing ability

he says they need to hurry back and defeat it Alicia comments that the the monsters have a significant Advantage underwater and that her magic can't reach them asking if he has any plan in mind the protagonist says he needs to make a decision and reveals that he must share his secret with Alicia before she decides to join him he asks her to keep what he's about to show her a secret as it will definitely be shocking the scene shifts to the giant crab in the sea and the protagonist appears swimming at high speed after gaining

the high-speed swimming ability by consuming a monster he easily destroys all the monsters and advances towards the giant boss the boss tries to stop him with tentacles but the protagonist easily Dodges them reaching the crab and striking it with his sword before activating his lightning mantle electrocuting the monster completely he thinks that with this the fishing spot should return to peace but wonders how Alicia feels after discovering that he devours Monsters the protagonist returns to the surface and not seeing anyone waiting for him gives a sad smile thinking he was too hopeful however Alicia suddenly

appears from the bushes saying damn you took your time huh I see you didn't get hurt did you defeat the boss the protagonist surprised she's still there confirms that he did Alicia says thank goodness I couldn't just wait around so I started Gathering wood to make a fire it'll be good for drying your clothes right the protagonist asks if she's okay even after seeing what he did Alicia responds I was a bit surprised but you trusted me enough to reveal your secret and that makes me very happy the protagonist thanks her and mentions that he

brought some abilities from the boss with him he pulls out a net containing pieces of the boss and says I brought some things for you too including some baramas I know it might be strange to eat near a monster but I brought it for you if you don't want it that's okay Alicia happily says she'll eat the Sun is setting and the protagonist comments while we eat I'll tell you about the first time I ate a monster at night while eating Alicia says the food is delicious and comments I'm still very surprised that you eat

monsters so that's the reason huh he replies thanks to this a weakling like me got one step closer to realizing my dream she understands and comments you used all that power to save me from the adventure hunters and my curse but when cooked this way monsters taste pretty good don't they and so it shows aeb's filet and sauteed tentacle miso the protagonist then says isn't it monsters are surprisingly tasty I didn't need to eat jours anymore but I had to cook them the right way want to try some Alicia she responds no I can't tell

if I'll survive if I eat this so I'll pass Alicia finishes her plate and says well okay I'll ask just once more do you want to join my team the protagonist responds Alisha honestly don't you have more powerful acquaintances for this she explains it's been 5 years since I was cursed even if I didn't die in The Labyrinth considering human lifespan many have retired most Frontline adventurers are a bit crazy and no matter how powerful they are I can't trust them to watch my back I'm looking for someone I can trust and that's someone is

you Rudy I'm sure I can trust you the protagonist impressed smiles and says all right let's form a team but don't regret it later okay the scene shifts to the adventurers Guild in the baramas division where Alicia shouts let's get ready for our first day of work the protagonist comments although I doubt we'll get a good mission after all I'm just an e- rank she responds you're right but I already have an idea for our first time they approach the mission desk girl and Alicia says excuse me we're forming a team from today could you

register us the attendant takes her card and is impressed to see its srank she exclaims I can't believe what I'm seeing an s-rank adventurer you are really Alisha from the emerald storm the attendant sees all of Alisha's abilities and asks why is someone like you with the miasma butcher the elf doesn't like the comment and the attendant realizing changes the subject Alisha then says we'd like a rank increase for Rudy what are the requirements the attendant takes out some papers and responds well Rudy has gathered enough achievements only the battle achievements are missing Alicia asks

then please give us the toughest subjugation Mission you have we'll handle it together the attend degrees all right at the moment it would be in the outskirts of baramas the extermination of a pack of gray wolves they are level 11 and have the scent detection ability the scene changes showing the protagonist chasing the wolves with his stealth ability easily tearing them apart however looking back he sees many more wolves chasing him the protagonist says finally reinforcements have arrived theisha responds now it's my turn to fight she invokes her spirit Power and a small fairy appears

Alicia asks the fairy to lend her power the protagonist impressed asks if that is Alisha's ability Spirit Magic The Wolves Advance on Alisha and her fairy Alisha then exclaims cutting wind her power is so absurd that it slices all the Wolves cutting one in half the protagonist is horrified realizing that this girl's strength is far beyond what he expected something he couldn't even Dodge Alicia comments I guess my Powers even after being cursed haven't diminished the protagonist impressed just says oh okay then but thanks I can't even imagine the full strength of this girl suddenly

several wolves appear behind the protagonist he realizes he hadn't noticed all the hidden wolves and thinks he's in trouble believing he won't be able to block in time Alicia then activates her power again and out of nowhere the protagonist disappears from the wolv sight at such a speed that they are left confused looking for him when they look up the protagonist is flying with Alicia's power he thanks Alicia for saving his life and is impressed with her power which could even do things like this Alicia says if you want to thank someone thank this little

one but we can't let our guard down yet I saw five more wolves watching us from the bushes and there are probably many more hidden around the protagonist then says well I guess it's my turn now he uses his echolocation ability and senses about 30 wolves around them he says Alisha attack where I indicate okay using his abilities the protagonist guides Alisha to attack precisely where the wolves are Alicia begins attacking them while the protagonist thinks that echolocation loses Precision in Open Spaces but if they attack the wolves in circles they can gather them in

a different spot Alicia says well okay I've done my part now the rest is up to you Rudy looking like a literal monster the protagonist appears behind the wolves and uses his paralyzing breath ability causing all the Wolves to collapse then he draws his sword and finishes them off the scene changes and the protagonist reports there are 52 in total Alicia incredulous responds man I can't believe we found so many in just one day the protagonist comments maybe their number numbers have really increased on a large scale by the way what was that Spirit magic

you used earlier Alicia explains I can use the magic of the spirits that exist in nature the spirits are usually everywhere even if they're not visible but to use their magic you first need to use compensatory magic with that you can cast powerful spells using little MP as you saw earlier it can cause phenomena that allow us to float the protagonist surprised says man I've never heard of wind magic that strong suddenly the little fairy pulls the protagonist's hair out of nowhere causing Alicia to laugh Alicia smiles and says oh by the way sfide loves

to play with others she then comments it'll be dark soon so let's head back quickly let's keep flying as they flew back home the protagonist felt like a superhero he asks Alicia about the other types of magic she can use and she replies that she's skilled in water ice light and Earth Magic Man You're basically the Avatar he exclaims Alicia adds I'm not very good with dark and fire Spirits if a spirit doesn't have good compatibility with you it will demand a huge amount of magic or might not even lend you its powers this shows

that silfide likes you a lot too the little fairy keeps tugging on the protagonist ears and he comments looks like she really likes me Alicia Smiles at the scene suddenly the protagonist notices smoke in the distance and concludes that there must be a village in that direction amid the chaos and the fire consuming The Village they spot a strange and terrifying monster this monster didn't look like the others the protagonist had faced it seemed seemed more like a demon than a monster we then see those people screaming in despair as their homes are engulfed in

flames with that gigantic monster in the midst of The Inferno the creature approaches two men and one of them exclaims damn it weren't the gray wolves the only monsters in this area if those wolves were the only things here what the hell is this in front of us that thing is a BFF the creature conjures a summoning symbol from which a spear enveloped and fire emerges it hurls the spear at the men but something protects them it was our protagonist using his water bullet ability the creature watches the protagonist while an elf approaches the men

and asks if they are okay they respond affirmatively and she says we'll take care of this monster on our own please summarize the situation now our protagonist sword in hand charges toward the creature analyzing it he confirms it was a level 27 baffet with primary focus magic abilities echolocation increased mono recovery speed Earth Magic principles and mental fortification the protagonist thinks even if it's level is lower than the general lizard its stats are on another level I guess this means it's different from common monsters the creature then summons four Spears and hurls them at the

protagonist without hesitation he reflects the Fire magic I have is very weak not something I can use in battle but if I manage to defeat this guy I can use his magic in battle too this protagonist really wants to devour everyone he sees huh not even the baffet escapes the protagonist advances with his sword to attack but the monster blocks with its claws he want wonders if that was an iron claw ability and if so he will try Brute Force this time the monster summons the spears again and launches them in close combat with a

protagonist when it seemed the blow had landed the protagonist appears right in front of the elf who asks if he is okay he responds affirmatively and thinks it looks like it dissipated two Spears this time and kept the others in reserve for defense it's really a tough opponent the elf says it seems the creature has raised its guard and suggests exchanging information while they still camp she mentions that the villagers haven't evacuated the town yet and asked the people they met earlier to help with the evacuation but she still wants to avoid collateral damage so

she can't use powerful magic to defeat the monster in one go the protagonist thinks Alicia must be out of magic thanks to the previous fight and our journey so we can't rely on her spirit magic I really need to do something now Alicia then says leave the magic to me trust me the protagonist decides to keep advancing and the monster starts launching multiple attacks in his Direction he manages to dodge them with some ease and some attacks that were about to hit him are blocked by Alisha the protagonist gets very close to the Baff it

and thinks she canel its magic with an opposite attribute magic of equivalent power the monster then conjures several rocks and hurls them at the protagonist with the help of the wind Alicia tries to protect the protagonist who breaks some of the rocks with his sword and thinks now they're Stone debris of the same mass and she's conserving magic while avoiding collateral damage really her magic control is insane but as expected of a former rank the protagonist leaps toward the baffet and uses his physical enhancement when the monster tries to defend with its claws the protagonist

manages to tear off all the fingers of one of its hands leaving it frightened and enraged with its remaining hand the monster tries to grab the protagonist but Alicia without hesitation launches an attack that pierces the monster's skull killing it completely Alicia then says so how does it feel to taste your own power we only see the image of the monster burning in the Flames people are terrified by everything that's happening and a man comments that explosion earlier and that terrible scream are those adventurers really going to defeat the creature or sfide says I'm sorry

if I hadn't been injured I could have stayed behind to help them Alicia then appears in front of those villagers and says thank you so much for helping with the evacuation the man is happy to see that she is okay and she continues I'm perfectly fine and the bamit has already been defeated I dealt at a fatal blow but if it manages to survive it might try to attack again we need to go after it now and for that I have a small favor to ask the man pounding his chest responds as long as it's

within our reach we'll do anything to help Alicia says well if you have a little bit of food could you share it with me I'm a bit hungry the scene then shifts to the forest surrounding the village where the protagonist stands before the monster's courts Alicia returns and the protagonist greets her asking about the villagers she replies that everyone evacuated safely thanks to the adventurers I told told them we decided to go after the bit so they won't suspect the body disappearing Alicia adds the protagonist apologizes and thanks her already drooling at the thought of

eating the monster well now it really looks delicious he says the scene changes and the adventurers have already prepared a bamit soup Elli and my friends our protagonist really doesn't waste time when it comes to eating monsters someone comments the protagonist says they just need to add a bit of mug wart and ginger to finish when it's done he begins tasting the monster the meat still has a strong goat flavor but ignoring that it's really delicious he says the protagonist gains new abilities principles of Fire magic principles of Earth Magic minor mental reinforcement iron Claws

and minor monor recovery speed Alicia comments the meat looks delicious but watching someone eat a humanoid monster is a bit strange for me you know but I have to get used to it the protagonist a bit awkwardly agrees well she's right and it's a little scary how I've already gotten used to all this suddenly next to them appear a species of pigs called stamp pigs all level 22 with the Quick Step ability they rise alert ready for battle the protagonist comments that there are a lot of monsters in that place since it's come to this

it's finally time to debut my combat magic he says extending his hand toward the pigs however to everyone's surprise the attack doesn't work at that moment the pigs activate their Quick Step and nearly hit the two the baffet soup spills entirely on the ground and Alicia comments I thought you could use magic now I'm low on Magic at the moment so I can't help you for long the protagonist responds that it's unforgivable and Alicia doesn't quite understand what he means I drained all the blood and removed all the fil how long do you think it

took me to do that I really wanted to savor that meat so I did my best to season it now these bastards are going to pay for everything they did you're going to give me your meat the protagonist says full of Rage charging at the pigs Alicia holds the protagonist back and asks him to calm down the ability they just used is called Quick Step it increases es their burst power making any attack quite strong even if it's not favorable we should fight from a distance to avoid the quick steps Reach In other words we

need to retreat for now the two run from the monsters and manage to hide up in a tree Alicia comments it looks like we managed to lose them the protagonist then opens his analysis and starts examining the abilities he gained both fire and Earth Magic he reads that those with these abilities will instinctively understand how to cast these spells it says here that I should understand instinctively he comments Alicia response well so you still can't use it this can only mean one thing your brain is so limited that it can't even comprehend the magic the

protagonist slightly offended retorts that was a bit too harsh wasn't it Alicia ponderers even so you can already use Fire magic even if it's weak so this doesn't explain why you can't use this magic maybe to use the monster's magic abilities you need to learn to manipulate Mana the protagonist says well I get it it's not just having the magic but also needing to manip at it right Alicia response well I don't know much about Mona but if it's like absorbing monster abilities maybe you'll do fine the protagonist then says I'll give it a try

he extends his hand again and tries to remember well it's like when I ate that Minotaur that sudden surge of incredible power what if I could materialize that outside my body suddenly to Alicia and the protagonist surprise he finally manages to conjure magic he becomes very happy and thinks as long as I can feel the mama I can use it as if it were part of my body he then unleashes a powerful fire attack towards the pigs causing a massive explosion in the middle of the forest the scene shifts and we see the spirits of

the pigs wandering in the sky while the protagonist is completely content eating the new monster meat he comments that he's excited to eat stamped Pig ribs sorry for making you wait so long says the protagonist Alicia responds don't worry I know this is something you need to do although you're making a very annoying face right now to use magical abilities you need to use Mana right and your Mana does doesn't seem to have depleted at all from the previous attacks so I think you can use it continuously the protagonist replies yes when I felt the

Mana spreading through my body I immediately understood how to use my abilities if Mana can substitute for Magical Power then maybe I can use it to strengthen my body and weapons among adventurers many choose to polish their magical skills and most use close combat by circulating magical power through the body their physical abilities are also enhanced and without using any weapon the attack power increases increases significantly it's even possible to emit magical slashes Alicia then says Ah I think I understand until now you didn't have much magic so you really couldn't use those abilities right

he responds yes and right now it seems I have a lot more Mana than magic but the most important thing is that it looks like I can replenish my Mana by eating monsters the protagonist finishes off that monster and gains the quickstep ability Alicia thinks in other words he absorbs Mana through food and can even store it in his body but the most important thing is that those pork ribs look very delicious the protagonist then asks so do you feel like eating now Alicia she replies no I'm good suddenly an explosion occurs next to the

protagonist an Alicia and a gigantic pig appears in front of them the protagonist comments oh so the boss finally showed up H however at an incredible speed the monster is already in front of the protagonist and Alisha impressing both with its swiftness the monster starts devastating the forest and the protagonist moving at incredible speed manages to save Alicia she thanks him for saving her life but reflects the moment I felt something distant that creature was already right in front of me but what really happened we're not in a dungeon so what's a monster like that

doing here the protagonist then comments again and again the food I prepared just fell on the ground tell these bastards to stop interrupting my meal looking at the monster he says by the way that monster would make a good stew don't you think he continues but it seems to have a fire resistance ability so I don't think we could roast it even if we put oil on its body the monster was the king Stamp Pig level 38 with Quick Step and Fire Resistance abilities the protagonist comments its stats are pretty high too he uses the

principle of Earth Magic ability and thinks he only has Quick Step and Fire Resistance the protagonist says get ready to feel my wrath the wrath of a glutton he launches a gigantic stone hand at the monster but the monster easily breaks it with a headbutt the protagonist realizes the monster's head is made of iron the monster then hits the protagonist with a headbutt brutally launching him far away the protagonist crashes hard into a tree and falls to the ground the monster then charges at Alicia and she activates the power of Sil launching multiple wind slashes

at the monster Alicia thinks well somehow I managed to hit him but he's not using any abilities his muscles and fur are really tough and thick whether it's Earth Magic or wind spirit magic they won't have enough power to penetrate that monster the monster was already preparing to charge at her again and she realized he was really coming suddenly our protagonist activates his Roar ability paralyzing the monster then he says don't you dare ignore me here I'm not done with you yet you damned pick the protagonist thinks the monster can't use quickstep or iron body

now but if he tries to turn this into a battle of attrition there's a chance he might start targeting Alisha he thinks well I have an ability that could take him down with just one attack although it seems he can only charge in a straight line this is the first time I'm going to use this the protagonist closes his eyes raises his sword and says well I guess I should try this first gather the Mana from within your body and imagine it flowing into your sword the monster was very close to hitting the protagonist and

when he opens his eyes he unleashes an attack that slices the monster in half with a single strike after cutting the monster in half the protagonist is very surprised at how easily he managed it Alicia impressed with wide eyes says you used Mana to strengthen your weapon and without any practice he responds well I tried because I felt I could you know and my Mana was leaking out suddenly the protagonist sword can't handle it and breaks leaving him very sad since his beloved sword had broken he becomes depressed hanging his head low and says I

used it a lot so there wasn't much I could do Alicia comments it seems it couldn't handle the amount of Mana you put into it the weapon is practically an extension of an adventurer's body so I'm sure you feel this lost but whatever the case let's call it a day the protagonist says but as for this guy you can bet I'm taking some of his meat as expected of our monster eater the scene shifts to the miasma dungeon on the seventh layer where some people are fighting giant rats after defeating the rats one of them

comments really a superior species of my Asma rats these guys are pretty tough opponents huh the other response even so they were no match for our teamwork they start laughing next to the rat's body suddenly one of them moves to the side and his friends ask what happened he responds I thought I heard someone's voice coming from over here the boy says huh but why is there a staircase in this place the guy responds could it be a secret passage in this dungeon let's take a look they go down the stairs and find a chest

after checking they comment it doesn't seem to be a trap another wonders what might be inside the chest and if it would be a treasure they open the chest and find a very impressive sword they are happy because the sword looks very strong the guy who picked up the sword says he can feel the magic emanating from it and that they could probably sell it for a good price another comments magic are you sure this thing isn't cursed the other replies stop being so pessimistic we haven't seen the miasma butchers for a long time so

we've been struggling without an easy way to make money this is actually a blessing from the Heavens to reward our hard work the guy agrees saying they've been adventuring late into the night and it's better if this really is a blessing another then comments speaking of the miasma butcher I heard he's been hanging around with a really beautiful elf now the other says that myasthma butcher thinks he's something doesn't he next time we see him we'll teach him a lesson and put him in his place the chubby guy was still apprehensive about everything and kept

eyeing the chest from which they had taken the sword in a closeup of the sword it seemed to whisper kill the scene shifts to the Frontier Town of bologa where the protagonist comments you know about my new weapon I was thinking of getting some tips from the owner of a weapon shop I know he arrives at a weapon shop called dor Is wealth owned by a man named do the man looks at the protagonist's broken sword and says for a sword I forged personally to break like this I'm sure Brute Force alone wouldn't do it

Rudd what did you imbue this sword with Alicia Whispers to Rudd asking if he's going to tell do everything that happened rud responds I'll explain everything I've known old dome for a long time and he's not the type to go around spilling others Secrets the scene cuts to the protagonist literally telling Dome everything the man comments so you're eating monsters huh when you eat these monsters you gain their abilities that's why Rudd's power has skyrocketed Alicia says huh but you don't seem too surprised do respond bonds well as long as it tastes good it doesn't

matter much what he eats the most important thing is that you want a sword capable of withstanding a Mana imbued strike right considering the research time it'll take a while before I can forge a new weapon for you Rudd asks if there's anything he can do to help with that doam replies it would be useful to have some high quality magic Stones Rudd says in that case I have some materials with me when he lays the stones on the table do is astonished General lizard and baffan even a magic Stone from a Minotaur boy I

see your skills have improved a lot rud embarrassed response wow being praised by you old man that's pretty satisfying for me Doan says well if I need anything else I'll let you know in the meantime use this sword here but under no circumstances absolutely none imbue it with your Mana if you break this sword too I'll charge you in outrageous compensation I hope I've made myself clear the scene shifts to a bar where Alicia and Rudd are Alicia says let's try to avoid those magical attacks atts from now on okay rud responds really old Dome

gets very scary when it comes to his weapons Alicia comments even though he's a bit intense I'm glad to finally meet a friend of yours Rudd says Ah sorry for being such a loner suddenly the guys who found the mysterious sword appear behind Alicia and say looks like you two are having a lot of fun huh mind if we join you my Asma butcher Alicia stands up and asks do you have a problem with us yes yes let's settle this with a drinking contest like good old adventur suddenly the guy holding the sword collapses onto

the table his friend asks dude are you okay are you drinking alone or something he notices his friend is still clutching the sword and says wait Rondo you haven't sold that damn thing yet the sword Whispers the same word kill the guy starts having a seizure on the table and suddenly screams at the sword to shut up he attacks his own friends slashing one of them across the chest then charges at Alicia as he tries to strike her the protagonist steps in and rud says this won't end with just a simple drinking contest Rudd thinks

what's wrong with this guy the guys at the next table comment what the hell are you thinking what are you doing in the middle of our celebration you idiot you better get out of here now they start to restrain the crazed guy but the sword keeps urging him to kill and he begins slashing everyone around him shocking even the establishment's owner Alicia then says manager I'm sorry but I'm going to have to destroy that wall she unleashes a powerful strike on the madman creating a huge hole in the wall poor manager he's going to to

have to break the piggy bank to fix that massive hole to Alicia's surprise the guy gets up again the protagonist mouth aate asks Alicia did you hold back she responds well he's a mediocre Adventurer he shouldn't be standing after that the guy charges again screaming that he's going to kill everyone Rudd comments this is really bad Alicia says if you can use healing magic please heal everyone here the scene shifts to the protagonist fighting the guy named Hondo a level 22 human with Madness status the protagonist realized is that Hondo has gone berser and his

stats are incredibly High Alicia shouts for Rudd to get back and says she's going all out this time she unleashes a powerful blast towards Honda hitting him directly but notices that his sword simply absorbs it she comments that sword is definitely cursed Rudd asks if Hondo is getting stronger by absorbing magic red tendrils begin to cover Hondo's body as he charges at the protagonist again Rudd manages to defend with his sword but with great difficulty due to the immense strength his sword is knocked side and the protagonist starts deflecting the attacks managing to cut Hondo's

leg however the red tendrils cover the wounds Alicia thinks if I try to support with my magic The Sword might absorb it again if I want to help Rudd I need to find an opening and deliver a decisive blow Hondo's friend pleads please don't kill him I know we've done horrible things to you but for a loser like me these two guys became my safe havens please I beg you don't kill him Rudd smiling says all right I'll try I'll do my best I think I'll try my substitution Rudd asks Alisha to leave Hondo to

him for now and she agrees Rudd thinks when I used substitution on Alisha it took about 10 seconds the problem is how to keep him under control while I try to free him from the curse Hondo attacks worry Alicia the protagonist thinks those strikes are really heavy but if he can immobilize just the sword he might be able to do something he activates his Earth Magic principles creating several Earth hands to restrain Honda the protagonist thinks the sword won't be able to absorb the magic and successfully immobilizes him rud then thinks if the cause of

his status is a curse I can get rid of it the same way I got rid of alicious he activates his substitution ability which begins to take effect on Hondo's body and the red tendrils start to unravel Hondo crying pleads for the protagonist's help but the curse is stronger than expected and the protagonist is thrown away from Hondo's body Alicia asks if he's okay and he replies that he is the protagonist realizes that his substitution failed likely because it wasn't Hondo rejecting the ability but the sword itself he thinks maybe if we weaken that sword

a bit more I can make it work the protagonist then activates his fire magic principles and directs it at Honda who is now completely covered by the red tendrils Hondo manages to split the protagonist's flames in half and the protagonist thinks he easily broke through the restraints and I only managed to lift the curse from his left arm the protagonist decides to focus on attacking outside the range of Hondo's right arm Hondo charges at him insanely and the protagonist notices his movements have changed significantly but what's most troubling is that the sword is absorbing the

magic again suddenly the sword begins to Glow with an intense malevolent Aura enveloping the entire area suddenly we see Claws and feet that are entirely different from Honda Alicia Wonders if this is an Incarnation meaning that Hondo's body no longer belongs to him in the sky we see the full form of the sword a figure of a completely insane demon with an unknown level at incredible speed the creature charges at the protagonist and as the blade is about to strike him he barely manages to dodge Rudd tries to face the demon but is sent flying

with a single blow making him cough up blood from the impact the protagonist thinks its movements are extremely fast but no it's not that fast in fact it's not making any unnecessary movements like a very skilled and experienced Warrior suddenly the creature is already behind Rudd surprising him with the blade coming at his head again Elicia steps in to help Rudd deflecting the blow the protagonist thinks he needs to circulate the magical power within his body Alicia charges at the monster and unleashes an immense power at its abdomen sending it flying Alicia says to Rudd

looks like I'll have to stay between you two for a while huh Rudd responds thank you so much you really saved me Alicia I didn't know you could fight up close I thought all your powers were for long range Alicia comments a support that becomes useless as soon as the enemy gets close is nothing but dead weight however that creature is not a simple opponent we can take lightly any slip up will be fatal even for me an XS rank Adventurer Alicia tells Rudd you need to change your mindset rud Hondo's curse has progressed too

far and he can't be stopped unless his heart is completely destroyed the protagonist gets angry for underestimating the creature and blames himself a man tells him to stop moving as his wounds haven't healed yet but the boy gets up and asks what did that elf girl say earlier you heard it right the scene shifts to Rudd and Alisha fighting the creature Rudd thinks that even with both of them fighting together they couldn't create a decent opening to face the monster he comments that the monster's double head gives it a much wider field of vision the

protagonist calls alicious attention asking her to fall back a bit without hesitation Alicia Retreats Alicia thinks if my magic is only to kick up dust he won't be able to absorb it in the midst of the Dust the protagonist appears and slashes the monster's back then with the power of the Earth's Spirits Alicia casts a spell called nomia but the shot doesn't fully pierce the monster's heart surprising Alisha greatly without hesitation the monster charges at her however to everyone's surprise their chubby friend grabs the monster by the arm and throws it away thus the two

friends come to help both Rudd and Alisha the chubby friend then says he will stop his friend even if it kills him and the other asserts that if they were to die it would have to be the three of them together incredibly they managed to pierce the monster's heart with the sword leading to an unexpected conclusion
