The LV.99 Middle Boss, Starts His Second Life with Subordinates!

~Jilheart’s Perspective~

 

 

　The magic swordsman Jilheart and the healer Elma.

 

　The two were the Hero from the port city of Ludenburg.

 

 

　They hunted sea demons at a young age and were looked up to by all the great sailors. As soon as they reached their twenties, they received a vision and became heroes.

 

　Who called it “Dawn’s Ship”.

 

　They were experts at dealing with aquatic monsters.

 

　Even a sea serpent that could take a whole ship by surprise would be on their table within the day.

 

 

　It’s been a few days since our humiliating defeat in a certain weak dungeon.

 

　After completing all the formalities, we finally resume our activities as adventurers, and immediately set out to conquer a certain dungeon.

 

　The recommended level for this dungeon was 15, the [Inanaki Sacred Mountain].

 

　With an average level of over 30, we should be able to conquer this dungeon without any problems.

 

 

　We should be able to do it, we are able to do it.

 

　But—

 

 

“Guh!?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　A violent metallic sound echoed, and Jilheart was thrown back.

 

　Leaves danced and rustled, and Elma immediately runs towards me.

 

 

“Are you okay? Jilheart!? Please wait, here…!” (Elma)

 

 

　Elma, dressed in a sacred robe full of charms, raises her staff high and begins chanting Recovery Magic.

 

　But Jilheart stops her,

 

 

“Recovery magic is no good! Apply physical enhancement magic!” (Jilheart)

 

“Again!? Any more of this stacked will negatively affect your body!?” (Elma)

 

“Damn, I’m already at this point… why can’t I win!?” (Jilheart)

 

 

　At the same time, Jilheart and Elma look at the person with animal ears that stood in their way.

 

　She still stands up like a zombie even if she is smashed many times and she is on all fours as she pushes herself.

 

 

　How is she this tough to resist my blade?

 

　Not really, her soft skin is filled with bruises and countless tiny wounds.

 

　Does she have inexhaustible stamina that she never gets tired of?

 

　No, she’s already on the verge of falling over.

 

　However, she does not fall.

 

　She kept standing up as if she were strung by an invisible thread.

 

　This situation has been going on for almost an hour.

 

　Even though she’s just a monster, something like this is out of the ordinary—

 

 

“The word impossible is… a lie…” (Beast-girl)

 

 

　The beast-man girl mumbles as if in a trance.

 

 

“The happiness of the dungeon is our own happiness… Those who do not work should not eat… be hardworking, be sincere, be selfless, and be unshakable… work…” (Beast-girl)

 

 

　While holding a bamboo spear as a weapon, she mumbles and chants as if she were reciting a Buddhist prayer.

 

　Elma let out a short scream, “Hii!?”

 

　This is her signal, and her twin tails stand upright.

 

 

“—It’s all or nothing! I’m over 300! Nekomatas are immortal! Even if my body breaks, you guys will never kill me!” (Beast-girl) [T/N: Nekomatas are two-tailed cat spirits that are said to be born from a domestic cat that lived a very long life.]

 

 

~3rd Person Perspective~

 

 

　At this time, Jilheart and Elma only saw her like a spear.

 

　Just a sharpened spear that will never break until it pierces them.

 

　–The winner was already decided.

Advertisements 

 

 

　Their hearts were broken in the face of an unfathomable fear.

 

 

“We’re retreating here, Elma!!” (Jilheart)

 

“That’s right, Jilheart!” (Elma)

 

 

　Thus, they turned around and ran away from the Inanaki Sacred Mountain.

 

　There was no need for pursuit. She was also at her limit.

 

 

“Repelled the brave party… I’ll take a 15-minute break…” (Beast-girl => Nekomata)

 

 

　Calling herself Nekomata, she collapsed as if the threads were broken.

 

　Her expression is the picture of tranquility.

 

 

　――And the boss of this dungeon, who was watching the whole thing from a great height, smiled ecstatically.

 

 

“Fufufu… I’ve driven away from the brave party again, perfect… my dungeon is truly perfect…” (Inanaki Boss)

 

 

　She was trembling.

 

　She was convinced of her talent as a manager and was even afraid of it.

 

 

“Low cost, high performance… at this rate, we’ll eventually win… even against those hateful bastards…!” (Inanaki Boss)

 

 

　She finally couldn’t take it anymore and let out a high-pitched giggle.

 

　A sense of omnipotence overcame her, and she was, quite simply, ecstatic.

 

　That’s why she hadn’t noticed.

 

　The presence of a girl staring at her from behind a tree…

 

 

“… This dungeon is no good anymore, isn’t it?” (Mysterious Girl)

 

 

 

　The girl left those parting words and disappeared from the Inanaki Sacred Mountain.
