One hit, obsession, and silence

"Do you want to play with me?"

Tsukasa didn't have time to take care of this monster. He had somewhere to go, but it seemed this monster wouldn't let him go. His anger was bubbling, and he was already impatient.

If you want to play, could you do it later?

"Tsukasa!"

"Sorry."

Tsukasa took a deep breath and said, "You should go first. I will handle this alone."

"Huh?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard his words.

"Are you sure? This isn't an opponent that you can fight alone!" Gareth said quickly. He was ready to fight, but this guy told him that he was going to handle this monster alone!

The power of this fallen spirit was obvious since they had encountered it on the 59th Floor.

No, it might be even stronger than the one they met on the 59th Floor!

However, Tsukasa didn't hesitate. "I am afraid that my fight will affect all of you. Run away first. I have told you the way to go back to the exit, right?" They were quite close to the exit location near the underground sewer.

While it was closer to passing through the dungeon direction, he wanted to find someone they hadn't found.

Yet something had interrupted him!

"Pierce, the spear of lightning. Your envoy beseeches you, Tonitrus. Incarnate of thunder. Queen of lightning!"

Unlike the fallen spirit, they met on the 59th Floor. This fallen spirit used a short chant of magic and cast her magic instantly.

No one could react for a while since they hesitated to leave Tsukasa alone.

A strong lance of thunder appeared and was about to hit them.

However, Tsukasa stood in front of all of them and smashed this magic with his fist.

*BOOOOOOM!*

The magic smashed to the ground and scattered into the arc of lightning on the ground.

Everyone was in a daze when they saw what an amazing feat he had done.

"Go!"

However, hearing his voice, they quickly reacted.

"After we send it to everyone, we will go back!" Gareth shouted before he led everyone out. "Follow me!"

"Tsukasa!" Tiona wanted to stay, but she was pulled by Tione.

However, how could the fallen spirit let them escape?

As she walked, the fallen spirit started to charge toward them, destroying the ground.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to play with me?"

Tsukasa suddenly appeared in front of the humanoid part of the fallen spirit before he took a deep breath.

*Crack!*

Suddenly the space cracked, and fiery black energy burst out from his body.

Everyone shuddered when they felt this power.

The fallen spirit was about to do something, but her head was grabbed before she was smashed to the ground.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

The fallen spirit screamed. She tried to escape, but everything she had died was futile, and she couldn't escape from Tsukasa's palm. Still, her eyes were able to catch a glimpse of his right fist, which made her feel fear.

His right fist trembled several times.

He created a vibration with his telekinesis and compressed it before repeating this process countless times.

Then...

While it was only for a second, it was like an eternity for the fallen spirit. She couldn't escape, and his fist smashed into her head. She didn't even have time to scream, and everything shattered.

The world was devoid of silence, and it was like everything was compressed before it erupted into raging destruction.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The fallen spirit splashed into unidentified mush instantly.

However, what was even scarier was that the entire man-made dungeon trembled as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

The tremor was so intense that it could be felt from the Orario.

When the tremor vanished, the ground and the ground below collapsed until it was like an abyss.

Tsukasa felt a momentary weakness and fell into the hole, but someone caught him. He was slightly weak, but he wouldn't pass out. "Ais? Why are you here?"

"I won't let you stay alone." Ais was determined. While the tremor affected her, she used her wings to fly, so she didn't stay on the ground and could catch him the moment he was about to fall.

"Thanks."

"It's okay." Ais smiled before she looked at the aftermath of his attack. She knew he was powerful, but had he become stronger?

Ais didn't feel frustrated. Instead, she felt happy because she knew he would be able to achieve his goal.

Tsukasa smiled and asked, "How is everyone?"

"They're about to go out." Ais looked at Tsukasa, who was weakened, and asked, "Should we go out?" While she asked, she brought him to the place where the ground was still intact.

"No, there are a few people who haven't been able to escape from this place. Let's go to their place. I know the place. Do you want to follow me?"

"Yes." Ais didn't have a hesitation.

"Then, let me get down. I can walk." Tsukasa was speechless when he was carried by Ais in princess carry style.

"...Okay." Ais seemed to be disappointed.

"......." Tsukasa.

After the tremor was gone, everyone looked at the monitor again in a daze.

No one said anything.

Bache and Argana could only open their mouths, and no words came out from them.

Kali, Thanatos, and Ishtar were the same, and they couldn't utter any words.

Even Barca, who was the descendant of the creator of this man-made dungeon, could only stay in a daze. Even though his beloved man-made dungeon and his obsession were damaged, he couldn't utter a single word.

After all, what they had seen was something that they couldn't imagine.

It wasn't a moment later that Thanatos started to laugh.

"Hahaha..."

His laugh was mixed with many emotions.

"Why... why is it so easy to die? Can you at least be killed by a few Level 6 adventurers?"

If the person who killed the fallen spirit was several Level 6 adventurers, Thanatos wouldn't have so much of a headache, but the fallen spirit was killed by a single Level 6 adventurer.

How could his mood be good?

Thanatos looked at Ishtar and looked apologetic. "Sorry for showing you something unsightly, Ishtar."

"Unsightly? No."

Ishtar's eyes were full of obsession, staring at the figure, who was walking away with a famous sword princess.

"You have shown me something good, Thanatos. You don't need to worry."

Ishtar caressed the water-like screen without looking away.

On the other hand, Tsukasa was slightly weak, but he still continued to run in the direction where Line and her group were.

Ais was right next to him and looked at him, feeling something strange from him.

"You should slow down, Tsukasa."

Tsukasa didn't answer Ais and kept moving faster and faster, and it wasn't a moment later until he finally found where Line and her group were.

The two found a room, and Line and her group were inside.

There were no words that came out of their mouths since everyone was dying.
