World's Fastest Level up!

"Rei, I’m going to Kenzaki Dungeon right now, what about you?"

"Of course, I will go too."

Aside from me of course, Rei, who has a unique skill, should be more than able to fight against the monsters from the C-rank dungeon. And it seems Rei also has the same understanding as me as she immediately decided to go to Kenzaki Dungeon.

"Please wait, Rin-san. I'm going too!"

"Yui..?"

The moment I was about to leave, Yui who should be less than level 100 insisted on coming with me.

"Yui, do you know the difficulty level of Kenzaki Dungeon? It is a tough place to challenge if you aren't at least level 300, you know? And as the Dungeon Collapse has occurred there, the monsters might also be more ferocious than usual too."

"Of course, I don't plan to join the fight. I wanted to use my healing magic to heal the people who got seriously injured by the monsters. But of course, if Rin-san says I am a hindrance, I won't insist on coming anymore…"

"Hmm.."

I changed my thinking because she was certainly right. Needless to say, there was a reason for that. For some reason, people who haven't acquired status couldn't use the HP recovery pill but they could still be healed with [Healing Magic] instead.

As everyone already knows, the existences of healers are scarce. For that reason, it's better to have more healers especially those who have a talent in that aspect.

And above all, I just heard Yui's reason for becoming an adventurer. That’s why if possible, I want to respect her will to come along to Kenzaki Dungeon.

"Understood, come with me too, Yui. However, absolutely don't leave my side even once, okay?"

"–! Yes, thank you very much!"

Yui’s expression shined as she nodded.

If she stays at least within 10 meters radius of me, I could protect her without any problem. I can even declare to that extent as I have continuously defeated the monsters in Kenzaki Dungeon before.

At any rate, we went to the Kenzaki Dungeon once again, but this time with the three of us. And shortly after that, we encountered the monsters.

"Hey, the monsters are approaching here! Are there any adventurers who could fight them!?"

That kind of scream was heard when we're about one-third of the distance from arriving at Kenzaki Dungeon from the shopping mall. In the direction of the scream, there was a man, and a little further than him stood a few orcs.

It seems they have already invaded this far, huh. We have to subjugate them as fast as possible.

"Leave this to me."

"Rei?"

Faster than I could finish taking out my weapon from the [Item Box], Rei rushed towards the direction without holding any weapon in her hand. Will she be fine? That’s what I thought but it seems my worry was unneeded as in the next moment, something happened.

"Answer my will–Magic Sword!"

The moment she chanted, a longsword appeared in her hand. The handle of the longsword had a proper form while the blade part was just something that danced in unnaturally greenish-yellow color.

"Haa!"

Although there was still 20 meters of distance to the orcs, Rei powerfully swung the sword-like thing. Then, the greenish-yellow blade vigorously extended and cut off the neck of an Orc. What came after was that the blade continued to spread to the second and third orcs.

"So that is Rei's unique skill, huh."

‘Magic Sword' that's what Rei chanted before.

Magic Sword, huh… although I can't imagine what’s the extent of the skill's power, it seems to be quite powerful from what I saw just now.

However, I couldn't keep observing it forever because when I thought it might be time for the other monsters to arrive, another group of Orcs and Horned Rabbit appeared. Their number exceeded 10 in total, but–

"They're slow…"

I muttered like that.

"Rin-san, about 10 monsters are approaching from the-…Eh?"

Immediately after that kind of funny voice 1 leaked from Yui, all monsters that approached us collapsed on the spot as if they were just cut by an invisible blade.

Apparently, Yui can't see it with her level right now.

"Don't worry about it, and I'll go ahead, okay?"

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Although she was still confused, Yui didn't have leeway to pay attention to that matter because we immediately regrouped with Rei who had finished subjugating the Orcs, and once again rushed toward Kenzaki Dungeon.

Then, while running, Rei asked me.

"Rin, did you defeat the group of monsters before?"

"Yes, I did. By any chance, you saw it?"

Certainly, if it's Rei, she might be able to follow my previous movements when defeating the monsters. That's what I thought. But in contrast to that, Rei shook her head.

"No, I didn't see it. I just saw a group of monsters when I looked sideways, so I thought I had to defeat the orcs as soon as possible and go there to defeat them too. But when I had finally defeated the orcs, the group of monsters had already been defeated….To be honest, I was surprised. As expected, Rin is strong after all."

"I don't think it's that surprising for you who have always seen Kazami and the others fight, right?"

"That's not the case at all. The fact that Rin was amazing has nothing to do with those people.”

Honestly, receiving that kind of praise directly made me a little embarrassed.

At any rate, while talking about something like that, we arrived at Kenzaki Dungeon.

Several adventurers and injured civilians were being treated in the vicinity of Kenzaki Dungeon. It was safer to let the civilians stay at the place where there are many adventurers rather than tactlessly keeping only civilians away from the dungeon–That’s probably what their current plan is. And it seems the treatments were only first aid too.

"Yui, do use your healing magic on them"

"Yes!"

In the end, bringing Yui here was the correct decision. Because the treatment of the injured would have been very different without her.

While Yui was treating the civilians, I talked to a nearby adventurer.

"Can you tell me what's the current situation?"

"Y-yes. We're here to stop a bunch of monsters that are coming out from the gate of the dungeons while the other adventurers went to subjugate the monsters that have already come out of the dungeon shortly after the dungeon collapsed."

I think the monsters that broke through the gate were the ones we fought earlier.

"What about the reinforcements?"

"That's… For the time being the dungeon supervisor has requested reinforcements from the Adventurer Association, but it seems even if reinforcement was dispatched from a nearby guild, it's going to take 20-30 minutes for a properly prepared B-rank or equivalent party to come here."

"I see…it's a pretty iffy line, huh."

While saying that, I remembered the characteristics of a Dungeon Collapse.

There are some troublesome aspects about a Dungeon Collapse. The first one is a large number of monsters will come out from the gate of the dungeon. And the other one is the monsters in the dungeon would be stronger than usual.

It is said that the principle behind this was with the collapse of a dungeon, the magic power that used to maintain the dungeon lost its destination and ended up being absorbed by the monsters. As a result, the monsters were roughly about 1,5 times stronger than usual.

In the case of Dungeon Bosses, they would become several times stronger and in this state, the dungeon boss would be called the last boss. And as the name implies, by defeating the last boss, the dungeon collapse can be stopped as the dungeon completely disappears.

But as time goes by, the last boss would become stronger and if it's not defeated when the dungeon completely collapses, the boss will end up coming out of the dungeon.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat it as soon as possible. However, as mentioned above, the last boss was so powerful that a party ranked higher than the dungeon would be required to subdue it. And in this case, as Kenzaki Dungeon was a C-rank dungeon, a B-rank party or higher would be needed.

However, he said the crucial B-rank party will arrive in 20-30 minutes.

Although the need to call adventurers who weren't in the re-challenge intermission was likely one of the things that affected the arrival of the reinforcement, I wonder how strong the last boss would be during that time?

…Better yet, should I just subdue it alone?

Such an idea comes to my mind but my logical mind advised that I should stop that kind of plan because…

I turned to look at Yui.

I just told Yui about how I just captured a dungeon yesterday.

Of course, I would be able to enter the dungeon using [Transfer Within Dungeon] but I think Yui would definitely have a doubt about why I was able to enter a dungeon during the re-challenge intermission.

And even if I could solve that problem, if I were to defeat the last boss alone, my ability would surely get exposed to the public which I still want to avoid if possible at the moment.

Putting it together, it's better to leave this to someone else. That's why I hope the B-rank party will arrive as soon as possible. And the next moment after I thought about something like that, someone- a party arrived.

"Hahaha, looks like you guys are in trouble. It seems the power of us–[King of Unique] is needed right now!"

A male voice that echoed highly came out from a certain direction. Yes, that kind of unique group of people has arrived.
