Bypassing her distracting attacks, I rolled my body onto the ground and grabbed the abandoned kitchen knife.
"Ugh, this knife will be destroyed if it is used one more time."
The tip of the kitchen knife's blade looked curved, showing a big mistake due to my carelessness in carrying out the stabbing attack. My attack pattern was reduced by one because my weapon's durability was almost destroyed.
Should I destroy this knife with a stab attack?
Or use a safe method that will take a lot of time?
During such a difficult decision, my opponent didn't give me much time to think. The blow she carried out had turned into a heavy weapon attack. The large sword she was holding gave a terrifying sensation to my body. The fear from the blow of the big sword became a strong signal for survival.
The only gaps I found were the unprotected head and a layer of thin chain armor. This is like putting all my money to survive when my salary runs out without explanation. This fun hell training made my survival motivation rise again.
The stabbing attack and endurance of my kitchen knife became the time that counted down to this challenge. The small mistakes I made had brought me to the limits of my physical abilities and weapons. Considering the skills I have, I rely on critical attacks and the ultimate skills that I have saved.
Waiting for the opponent's momentum to move closer to me, I activated the ultimate skill called Vanishing-Step. My body was filled with gray magic energy that erased my presence and physical form. My magic energy was absorbed quite a lot, leaving a pool of magic energy that was almost completely drained. Using Ultimate skills seems to require a large amount of magic energy.
The Ultimate Vanishing-Step skill made the opponent in front of me speechless. Her detection skill couldn't detect my presence, making the Ultimate Vanishing-Step skill a backup attack to escape or attack as a surprise.
I took advantage of this great opportunity to approach the opponent and launch a critical attack that would make her fall in one attack.
The plan I had in mind would be to sacrifice the durability of the kitchen knife and face the head chef's wrath.
Now... Time to counter my opponent's attack with one deadly move.
Noticing my silent footsteps, I approached my enemy who was observing her surroundings. Mourning my body that disappeared right before her eyes.
An Assassin would attack from behind, but it was an amateur attack that would apply if the target of the attack was directed at a bandit or other fool. The opponent in front of me was not an ordinary woman who was swinging her greatsword in all directions. Predict the direction of attacks that might be directed at her.
The woman's body spun and produced a tornado-shaped wind vortex. Moving her greatsword in all directions like a rapidly rotating brake disc. The speed of the blade's rotation made me wait for the right time to launch the final attack.
I think I've seen this technique before.
It's like a technique often used by heroines that relies on muscles and strength.
In short, it was similar to an attack that was resigned to circumstances. Relying on luck the blade hits an invisible target when spinning rapidly.
This attack will be useful when facing a group of enemies.
However, to face one person. It was a very stupid attack.
The attack pattern eased up a bit.
The tornado vortex caused ground dust to scatter across the dungeon. Makes my Ultimate skill feel useless because my eyes are covered in dust.
I walked closer to her slowly using the Eagle Sense skill and buried the kitchen knife in her neck. The stab I made felt heavy because the tip of the kitchen knife was blunt. Pressing the handle of the kitchen knife, I tried to make an incision after the stab wound.
*Stab!!
*Slash!!
I executed the attack quickly. Leaving the kitchen knife blade bathed in fresh blood and covered in dirt and dust.
*Buk!!
The sound of the thick body armor dropping heavily on the ground signaled my victory. Along with a thin glowing panel, a system screen announced my victory.
I immediately swung the kitchen knife to remove the blood stains and wiped it using the cloth I was wearing.
[ Hell Training Phase I Completed! ]
Responding to the system's notification, my body emits magic energy and physical recovery that makes body movements feel light. The muscles in my body felt stiff along with my hard object growing from its previous size. Making my panties feel tight with the sudden growth.
The changes in my physique and magical energy indicated that my power restriction had passed the first stage. There were six more stages left before my body passed the strength limit of being able to destroy the last enemy in one critical attack.
After the scattered ground dust is reduced. I saw Shion and Yua Mikami who were looking at me with surprised eyes.
I immediately met them.
"Quite a tough opponent, isn't she?" I said to start the conversation.
"Shiishou!! It was a very interesting match!" Shion exclaimed while wagging her tail.
"Ahmed-sensei, what a thrilling match. Will I be able to defeat an enemy much stronger than me?" asked Yua Mikami who looked worried.
"You've seen it, right? If I can fight it. Then you can fight it too."
My hand unconsciously touched her soft hair. The worried expression on her face made my sense of mischief come out.
My hand grabbed her short, unprotected skirt and revealed the shape of a valuable object overgrown with dense grass.
The worry that adorned Yua Mikami's face turned into an embarrassed expression that distanced herself from my presence.
I look like an immoral young man.
After my pranks subsided, I saw Shion who accepted the challenge of hell. The short sword that Shion uses will be very useful for close-range attacks. However, it would be completely useless if the opponent he was facing used long-range attacks.
On Shion's love journey, the enemies she will face are mutated insects. Creating a replica of himself that continues to grow until it fills the entire dungeon. A very troublesome enemy especially with the ability to create copies of himself.
Shion's advantage is fast attacks that can destroy opponents in one fell swoop. Shion prepared to face the first stage of hell's challenge, taking off her Battle Shrine Maiden training uniform which was open to her shoulders. Showing her smooth shoulder skin without protection.
Seeing a scene that fits my fetish in my previous life. My body responded with my hard object rising high. Showing my tight pants with my hard object growing uncontrollably.
Is this just my feeling or has this object enlarged from normal size?
I tried to suppress my dirty thoughts and observed Shion's progress from a distance.
The first stage of the hellish challenge had begun, just like what happened to me. A large gate appeared in front of Shion and revealed flying beetle insects covered in electricity.
"That would be a troublesome opponent, Shion," I commented.
"Electric beetles, huh? It's been a long time since I saw him," said the Dungeon Master who was standing next to me.
I glanced at the Dungeon Master who was standing calmly without caring about my hard object waking up and struggling.
"You don't want to comment on this?" I asked.
"I've seen it many times, it's the body's normal response when it makes it through the first stage of hellish training. This dungeon has a second floor which contains a warm bath and a love room. Use these facilities according to the circumstances," said the Dungeon Master.
"I understand. Would you like to join us after this is all over?" I asked, trying to get along with the Dungeon Master.
"Is that a subtle invitation to experience the pleasures of the world?" asked the Dungeon Master.
"Maybe."
Dungeon Master thought for a moment about my offer. Feeling the sensation of soft warmth from the Dungeon Master is a hidden CG scene that is a big secret for Miko Miko Blessing players. Because to get the hidden scene an extra and forceful approach is needed.
If the Dungeon Master feels disgusted by the player's pushy invitation to have a romantic relationship, the Dungeon Master will block dungeon access and violently expel them.
Uh, that's what I just did, right?
What if the Dungeon Master rejects my seemingly pushy invitation and blocks dungeon access? For the umpteenth time, I made a small mistake.
"That invitation made me interested in experiencing it. As a Dungeon Master trapped in a monotonous life. I don't have the opportunity to experience the pleasures of the world. That's on the edge of what's hard for me to handle. Leaving the dungeon core without protection would be like leaving a house without a door. So, do that when we're in the dungeon."
"I understand," I responded to the Dungeon Master's words, I looked at her gently.
Putting aside her bad nature, Dungeon Master looks like a sweet, lonely girl without a man's touch. Waiting for someone to enter the dungeon and guarding the dungeon core from dirty hands is the main task of the Dungeon Master.
"What about our bet?" I continued my words.
"Even when your lover is in trouble, you still think about the bet you made?" asked the Dungeon Master.
I looked at Shion's battle who looked struggling. The short sword Shion uses becomes a huge barrier that limits the speed and range of her attacks. As a nine-tailed fox race that relies on mystical attacks, Shion should understand her limits. Without the speed and range of random attacks, Shion would have difficulty facing the hellish challenge.
This dungeon with a level of difficulty beyond common sense would become a strong foundation that led to the fox race evolving into the nine-tailed fox race. The highest level of hierarchy that the fox race has.
