I raised my sword, and the presence reached me in an instant. I couldnāt see what it was, but I knew it was there. Not even my detection skill was helping much in this situation.
Even though I could sense the monsterās presence, it was extremely faint. I couldnāt tell what kind of attack it would make or even its form. Fortunately for me, I had the "Black Dragon" sword with me.
[Front! A frontal attack!]
Hearing that, I jumped back and grabbed Mikoto at the same time, pulling her away.
"Luan!? What is that?!"
The ground where I had been standing shattered into pieces. It had taken heavy damage. This monsterās strength couldnāt be underestimatedājust like the Black Dragon said, it was strong.
"I donāt know what it is either, but itās strong."
The monster was invisible. I didnāt even know something like that could exist inside the dungeon. Actually, it didnātāthis monster was new and shouldnāt be here.
Is it because of me?
[Itās coming again! Frontal attack! Dodge now!]
With Mikoto in my arms, I leaped away again.
"Iām going to teleport back to the mansion and leave you there. This could be dangerous."
[Donāt get distracted, itās coming again! Attack from the right!]
I dodged once more. The wall was struck and shattered into pieces.
"Dragon, can you tell what kind of monster it is?"
[Itās a lizard.]
"A lizard? But it was flying earlier."
[It resembles a dragon. It has wings.]
You can even tell that much? Then tell me its weaknesses and what I should do.
[Its invisibility is likely an ability. If you hit it even once, the invisibility will probably be disabled.]
Got it. Iāll do that.
"Luan?"
"Itās fine. Iāll deal with this quickly."
[Attack from the left!]
After the dragon warned me, I teleported together with Mikoto.
[Good! Itās right behind you and hasnāt detected you yet.]
I turned around and swung my hand, using the abilities "Hellfire" and "Rot."
A black flame shot from my hand toward the monster. Instantly, its invisibility vanished. The fire began to slowly consume its body, and it screamed in pain.
While part of its body burned, the other part began to rot due to the "Rot" ability.
"What is that thing? Iāve never seen a monster like that before!" Mikoto was terrified.
It was a lizard over four meters tall. Its skin was brown, and it had wings. Its appearance was very similar to a dragon.
The flames continued to consume its body.
Even its bones began turning into ash.
āIs this ability really only level one?ā
[The skill "Hellfire" has leveled up!]
Ohāit just reached level two.
After some time, the lizard finally stopped struggling and died. But its body didnāt disappear like other dungeon monsters. It remained there, being consumed by the black flames.
It eventually turned completely into ashes.
I took a deep breath and said, "That was easier than I expected."
"What kind of monster was that?"
"I donāt know, but it definitely shouldnāt exist."
"Shouldnāt we report this to the guild?"
Hearing Mikotoās words, I smiled. "Iāll do that later."

After that monster died, we continued walking through the 40th floor in search of more monsters and the path to the 41st floor. However, we didnāt find any.
āThatās strange.ā
I thought there would be more monsters on this floor, but that wasnāt the case.
āWill more monsters that donāt exist in the original story start appearing?ā
"What are you thinking about? You look nervous."
"Iām worried. There are no monsters hereāitās strange."
"Youāre right. How long have we been walking? An hour?"
"I think more than an hour. Finding the path to the 41st floor is also proving difficult."
After that brief exchange, we fell silent and kept walking.
After another half hour, we finally found something.
A pathāfinally.
"Is that the passage to the 41st floor?" I didnāt really have information about this. Even in the original story, I donāt remember detailed explanations about every floor and passageāespecially deep ones like this.
We moved forward, and as we approached, the Black Dragon spoke.
[Thereās a strong monster inside.]
"So itās not the path to the 41st floor."
"Huh? How do you know?"
"The dragon told me. He said thereās a monster in there. Itās probably a room or something."
"Thatās..." Mikoto was visibly nervous.
āYeah... if this is a room where a monster is hiding, itās probably a very strong one. Like a boss room?ā
"Boss room?"
"Yeah. Rooms where strong monsters hideāstronger than the rest."
"I see."
"This is probably the strongest monster on this floor. Black Dragon, how strong is it?"
[Stronger than the previous lizard. But donāt worryāyou can handle it with that fire ability you used earlier.]
"I see."
"Do you want me to stay outside? It could be dangerous," Mikoto asked.
"Come with me. Iāll make you stronger." I smiled and held her hand.
Even though she was clearly nervous, she followed me, and we entered the room.
Inside, we found a monster sleeping.
āAnother lizardābut much bigger than the previous one. And its skin is red, like fire.ā
Mikoto held her breath.
"Donāt worry, this will be over faster than you think." I let go of her hand and walked toward the lizard.
Then its eye opened.
Its yellow pupils locked onto me as it stood up instantly.
"Six or seven meters tall? Youāre pretty big."
But unlike the previous one, it couldnāt turn invisible.
This will be easy.
