Vol 5 Chapter 8: Raisen Great Dungeon and The Last Trial

Yaho~, nice to meet you~, Miledi Raisen thats loved by everyone is here~

From the gigantic golem equipped with brutal equipment and full body armor and a helmet, whose sharp glint was able to make people freeze, was a random and light greeting. The words that it had said couldnt be understood, even by Hajime. His mind was somehow trying to escape the reality in front of him. Even Shia and Yue forgot that they were encircled and could only stare blankly with their mouths opened.

Because the trio stiffened, the gigantic golem let out a sullen voice. It was a womans voice.

You know~, because I already gave out a greeting, reply with something already. Thats proper manners, you know? Geez, thats why youngsters of this generation should have more common sense.

They were words filled with real irritation. Moreover, the gigantic golem was raising its burning right hand and its left hand that held on the thorned iron ball at shoulder height. It was a random and human-like gesture as if it said, Yare yare daze, while shrugging its shoulders and shaking its head. But, Hajime and his party were the ones that were truly irritated by it. It was as if they were seeing those annoying sentences again. Although the one that called itself Miledi Raisen might be the one behind those words, that woman should have been dead, she was a human after all.

For the time being, Hajime observed his surroundings.

I am sorry about that. But, Miledi Raisen should be a human and already dead, right? Moreover, I have never heard of a golem with an ego thats why we are surprised, so please forgive us. After that, please explain who you are. Make it brief.

Aree~, this person, even under this situation youre so conceited.

There was no need to observe anything at all. Rather, he let out a super straight ball. As expected, because of his unexpected reaction, the gigantic golem that called itself Miledi showed a perplexed expression. However, it immediately recovered, it replied to Hajime and his party with a voice that could simply make one imagine it as someone grinning, if it were human.

Nn~? Miledi-san is a golem-san from the start you know~ To say I was human

I have read a little about you from Oscars notes. Its perfectly written that youre a human woman, you know? Rather, I dont want to hear any foolish talk. I already said to make it brief before. Even if you try to obstruct us, what we need to do is still the same. I will turn you into scrap and move on. Thats why, before you cant make any more gata gata sounds, tell us everything.

O, oou, because it was my first conversation after a long time, no matter what you say it makes me dance with joy inside. Rather, did you just say Oscar? Dont tell me, youve conquered O-chans dungeon?

Aa, if it was Oscar Orcuss dungeon we already conquered it. Rather, it was us whos supposed to do the asking. If you wont talk then well fight, you know? Well, its not like we need to know anything. Our only objective is the age of Gods magic after all.

Hajime turned Donner toward the gigantic golem. Although Yue showed a clarifying face, Shia said Uwa~, he didnt shake at all~, in half-surprise and half-amazement while looking at Hajime.

Age of Gods magic you say, then as expected, is that for god slaying? Is it to slaughter and destroy those shitty bastards? If you have captured O-chans dungeon, then you know the situation, right?

I already said that it was us whos supposed to do the asking. What we want is the answer, so answer our inquiry from before.

This fellow~ is truly conceited~, well, thats okay~, umm what was it Aa, my identity. Uu~n

Make it brief. I dont need a long explanation like Oscars.

Ahaha, certainly, O-chans speech was long~, and there was too much theory~

The gigantic golem looked up at the ceiling into a far distance, filled with nostalgia. It was truly a golem with human-like movements. Yue gazed at the gigantic golem with her usual expressionlessness, while Shia was restless because of the surrounding golem knights.

Un, I will say it briefly as you want. I am certainly Miledi Raisen. All the golems wonders can be explained with age of Gods magic! If you want to know more, then magnificently try to defeat me! Well something along those lines.

In the end, there is no explanation

Hahaha, that was, before you complete the conquest, you wont receive any information, right? Without that there would be no meaning behind the dungeons, you know?

This time, the gigantic golem, Miledi Golem, used her finger as if saying, tsk tsk tsk! Although they didnt know for sure if Miledi Raisen was inside of it, if they excluded the character then the golem had its own charm. Yue boldly muttered, its only problem is the inside, having the same impression as Hajime.

Finally, about that inside, they still didnt understand anything in the end. If it was truly Miledi herself, Hajime guessed it must be some kind of residual thought. Hajime hazily remembered from his memory that his classmate, Nakamura Eri, was a necromancer; a job that handles residual thoughts. However, with her necromancy a residual thought that carried a clear intent like this couldnt be formed. In other words, it was still in the boundary to assume that the established intent of the deceased inside the golem was made by age of Gods magic.

Anyway, it was not a magic that could be used to move to other worlds that he was looking for. So Hajime who was a little disappointed asked a question to the gigantic golem, no Miledi Golem.

Your age of Gods magic, is it something related to residual thoughts? If thats so, there is no reason for me to be here.

Nn~? That look, do you have other purposes to get age of Gods magic? By the way, my age of god magic is not that one~, I was helped by Ra-kun to establish my soul in this body~

Hajimes objective is only to go back to his own world. Because he doesnt understand anything about souls and thoughts, obtaining an age of the Gods magic that manipulates something like that would be pointless. That said, after he asked about that, Miledis reply didnt match up to his predictions. Even though he didnt know who Ra-kun was, it was probably one of the Liberators. That person gave Miledi Golem Miledis soul before she died and established it inside the golem.

Then, what is your age of Gods magic? Depending on your answer, well return as we are

Nn~ Nn~, do you want to know? Do you really want to know?

Once again, Miledi asked with a grinning-like voice, and Hajime who was waiting for her reply was irritated by it.

If you want to know~, answer my question first,

Only on the last few words in her voice changed. Her frivolous atmosphere up till now vanished, and she carried seriousness instead. Hajime and his party were a little surprised by the change. Hajime asked back without showing that on his expression.

What is it?

Whats your objective? What do you need age of Gods magic for?

I wont forgive any falsehood was what her tone implied, even her joking atmosphere totally disappeared when Miledi asked that. That was probably this womans true nature. If you think about it, she even challenged the Gods for the sake of the people. That was why she didnt want to entrust her magic to someone with an unknown purpose. It was different from the will in Orcuss image recording. No matter if hundreds of years pass by, she intended to keep waiting deep in the dungeon to ascertain the challengers purpose. In a way it could be called torture for her. Even her frivolous attitude was a bluff, the real her is someone who has great patience and will, it could be said that she had a sense of responsibility.

Maybe because Yue also thought of her like that, she had been looking at Miledi Golem with a different expression since a while ago. Yue understood well the suffering of someone who was alone in the depths of darkness. Thats why, for Miledi who was determined to leave her soul behind in order to stay in the depths of the darkness, she seemed to feel something more than sympathy.

Hajime looked straight at Miledi Golems glinting eyes and replied without any falsehood.

My objective is to return to my hometown. I was forced into this world by the ones you call mad Gods. I am looking for age of Gods magic thats capable of transferring people between worlds I have no intention of defeating the Gods in your stead. I dont even have the slightest inclination to risk my life for this world.

For a while Miledi Golem quietly stared at Hajime, then maybe because she reached something she gave a little nod. Afterwards, she only muttered I see. And, in the next moment, her serious atmosphere disappeared as if it was an illusion and her frivolity returned.

Nn~, I see I see. So thats it~, youre from a different world~. Un un. That is problematic for you~ Okay, then its time for battle! Splendidly defeat me and you will obtain the age of Gods magic!

Although your chain of reasoning was so odd that I lost the meaning of it just whats with then its time. Rather, didnt you hear my words? If your magic isnt transition magic there will be no meaning, you know? Or are you saying it is transition magic?

Miledi only, Nnfufu~, let out an unpleasant laugh, then, That is , answered with a voice filled with too much emphasis as she prolonged her answer. Her appearance resembled Mino**n that tried to inform the Final Answer.

Finally, with his irritation reaching its limit, and because itd be a battle from now on, Hajime took out Orkan and Miledi shouted the answer she forestalled.

No~t telling!

Die.

Without asking any more questions, Hajime fired the rockets from Orkan. Leaving trails of sparks, the storm of destruction flew toward Miledi Golem and hit.

ZUGAaAAAN!!

The violent sound of explosions resounded and shook the room. Smoke rose from that explosion.

Did we do it!?

Shia, that was a flag.

Shia who let out first strike for victory!, with a joyful look was tsukkomied by Yue. The result: it was just as Yue said. From inside the smoke the burning right hand appeared with a bobah, sound and dispersed the smoke.

When the smoke cleared up Miledi Golem appeared, with some parts of both of her forearms broken. Miledi Golem picked up the floating blocks that had drawn near, and they were decomposed to become materials for the parts of her arms that were broken.

Fufu, what a fast preemptive strike~, come, my age of Gods magic might be what you seek after all~, but because I am strong~, work hard so you wont die~

While laughing joyfully, Miledi Golem shot out the flail-type Morningstar in her left hand toward Hajime and his party. It wasnt thrown. The Morningstar just suddenly flew with tremendous velocity without any starting movement. Perhaps, the gravitational forces direction was adjusted and made it fall just like the other golems.

Hajime and his party avoided the Morningstar by jumping onto a nearby floating block. The Morningstar turned the block that Hajime and his party were previously standing on into minute pieces. Then it turned around and returned to Miledi Golems hand.

Lets do it! Yue, Shia. Lets destroy Miledi!

Nnh!

Affirmative!

Along with Hajimes shout, inside one of the Seven Great Dungeons; Raisen Great Dungeon, the last fight began.

The golem knights who raised their large swords in a standby state began to move as if signalled by Hajimes shout. Just like inside the passage before, they turned toward Hajime and his party and rushed out.

Yue took out a water bottle that was clanking with the other bottles and used it to horizontally mow down her enemies. The water that was pressurized to the limit, rather than water cutter it cut apart the golem knights more like a laser.

Ahaha, you can do it after all~, but, the enemies are 50 infinitely regenerating knights and me, I wonder if you can handle all of us at the same time~

While saying that with a sarcastic tone, Miledi fired the Morningstar again. Shia made a big jump, and jumped onto the moving pyramid blocks upper part. Hajime didnt move from his spot and turned Donner toward the Morningstar and fired rapidly.

DOPAaaNh!

There was only one gunshot sound. However, the bullets that fired numbered six. The attacks were accompanied with a flash aimed only at the approaching Morningstar, striking it with tremendous velocity. It was indeed a metal ball with huge mass, there was not much change even after it was hit by the railgun six times at the same time, but its trajectory deviated away from Hajime by a large margin.

At the same time, Shia jumped from the upper part of the block to Miledis overhead, she brought down Doryukken as she fell.

I already saw that~

Along with those words, Miledi Golem suddenly moved to the side at a great velocity. She must be falling to the side.

Kuh, you!

With her aim off, Shia gritted her teeth and pulled Doryukkens trigger, then an explosion came out. With the cartridge ejecting from the side, her trajectory was corrected. After spinning three times, a blow that carried significant centrifugal force hit Miledi Golem.

ZUuGAGAN!!

Miledi Golem immediately used her left arm to guard. A tremendous sound of impact came from the left hand. However, as if nothing happened Miledi Golem swiped her left hand horizontally.

Kyaaaa!!

Shia!

Shia who was hit let out a scream. Somehow she managed to pull Doryukkens trigger and corrected her pose using its explosive power; additionally, using the recoil she made an emergency landing on the nearby block.

Hah, you can do it after all. Oi, Yue. Just what kind of training did you make her do?

I only drove her into a corner.

I see, it was something like polishing her ability to survive to the maximum.

Hajime used Farsight to confirm Shia who pyon pyon, bounced on the blocks to come back, with admiration in his mind. And, on the block Hajime and Yue were on, the golem knights that rushed them was finally could not be held back by Yue alone.

Hajime took out Metherai the Gatling gun from Treasure Box. Then, with his back turned to Yue, he unleashed the monster capable of scattering 12,000 deaths per minute.

DOuRURURURURU!!

Its six barrels began rotating as he fired it. While letting out sounds particular to this weapon, a lot of flashes flew straight freely all over the room; while the enemies who met the bullets mid-air were turned into scrap and fell to the bottom. Those that sneaked around to the other side to evade and attack from the blind spot, by a laser of water, were perfectly cut.

More than 40 golem knights fell to the bottom of the room in tragic states in no time. After some time, they would likely finish reconstructing and return to the frontline, but it was good that they wont be hindrances for a while. Thats right, until the time their boss, Miledi Golem is destroyed.

Wh-, what was that!? I have never seen nor heard of anything like that!

Having heard Miledi Golems astonished shout, Hajime put Metherai back into Treasure Box, then once again he pulled out Donner, and let out a voice that could be heard even by Shia who was at a distance..

Miledis core is at the same place as the heart! Destroy that!

W-wh-! How did you know that!?

Once more, Miledi let out an astonished voice. Surely she didnt know that Hajime has a magic eye thats capable of seeing the flow of magic power. Because the position of the core that could be used to defeat the golem was confirmed, Yue and Shias eyes became sharp with a glint.

Currently, there were around ten golem knights that still floated. The trio released waves of attacks aimed to hit Miledis heart.

Hajime immediately tried to get closer to Miledi Golem by jumping using the floating blocks as footholds. With the current output of the Railgun, itd be hard to pierce Miledi Golems gigantic body and hit the core. Thats why, he decided to shoot at zero distance to destroy the armor, then pull out a grenade.

However, it was not that easy.

When he noticed Miledi Golems eyes shine for a moment, blocks were floating from her overhead toward Hajime with tremendous speed.

!?

I never said I can only control the knights~

Ignoring Miledis grinning voice, Hajime immediately gashun, operated his artificial arms gimmick.

DOGANh!!

With a sound that could affect the insides of your stomach, an explosive sound rang out and pressure was generated from the back of the artificial arm that was aimed forward. More specifically, it was the discharge of the powerful shotgun. Although acceleration using electromagnetism couldnt be done, the compression ratio of combustion powder was much higher than in Donner. The recoil was also severe because of it. The trajectory of Hajimes body changed mid-air, while the blocks that came flying were dodged. Afterward, he somehow managed to put his feet on the targeted block.

Naturally, Miledi Golem tried to drop Hajimes foothold, but before she was aware, Shia already approached her from behind and she jumped to deliver a strong hit on Miledi Golems head. First of all, she wanted to destroy the eyes part on the head that gave off suspicious light.

Miledi Golem who noticed Shia was approaching, made the golem knights target Shia that was in the middle of her jump. Shia was completely defenseless mid-air. At the moment that she was almost cut by the large swords.

I wont let you.

This time, it was Yue that had moved before she was aware of it, using Rupture she cut the golem knights that tried to attack Shia.

As expected of Yue-san!

While saying that, with the trouble gone, Shia continued to advance in the air, and she delivered the attack that was made by strengthening her physical ability to the limit.

Golem wont lose in terms of power~

Miledi Golem proved her own words, while turning around she immediately swung her burning right hand toward Shia.

DOoGAGAGAN!!

A tremendous roar resounded when Shias Doryukken and Miledi Golems heat knuckle collided. The surrounding floating blocks were blown away radially by the ensuing shockwave.

Damn you!

Shia who was unable to penetrate Miledi Golems fist let out a shout to pull out more of her power. However, just as expected of a golems physical strength, Shia was shaken off and blown away by the fist.

Kyaaa!!

Shia let out a scream. There was no floating block in the direction she was in. Because she thought Shia would fall at this rate, Yue dashed out from the side and embraced Shia. Using Soar for just a moment, they corrected their trajectory and landed on the floating block in front of them.

Quite a combination you have there~

With a composed voice, Miledi Golem looked up while Yue and Shia looked down at her. An unexpected voice came out from nearby.

Right?

!?

Letting out a panicked and surprised voice, Miledi Golem changed the direction of her glance. Before she was aware of him, he had slipped onto her bosom while fixing his location using the anchor and putting his foot into the cracks on the armor, he aimed the large weapon : Schlagen to the hearts part. A bright red spark gushed out from Schlagen.

S-since whe!?

DOoGAN!!!

Miledis surprised words were cut off by the roar that came from Schlagen. Having fired a mass of killing intent from zero distance, it blew Miledi Golem away and her chest armor was shattered into tiny fragments. Even if Lightning-clad couldnt be used with enough output, the current Schlagens firepower was the same as Donners maximum power. Even so, that was enough firepower to destroy metallic armor. Even golem knights armor could easily be blown apart by the current Donner, so Miledi Golems armor thats made from the same materials even if it was a little thicker, could be destroyed using Schlagen.

Blown backwards, smoke came from Miledi Golems chest. Hajime also flew backwards. By shooting the anchor, he turned around mid-air, and with the momentum he landed on a nearby floating block. Then, he observed Miledi Golems condition.

Yue and Shia also jumped to the floating block near Hajime.

Did we do it?

Although there was a response

With this, I want it to end.

Having heard Yues response, Shia said her wishful thinking. Hajimes expression was subtle. Although Miledi Golems chest armor was destroyed, without knowing what had happened, nearby floating blocks started to move, and Hajime and his party could hear a voice that was filled with admiration.

Wow~ youre the real deal, that was a close call. If there was no magic power disintegration, that artifacts real power would be very dangerous you know~, yes, having made this dungeon with great effort, Miledi-chan is a genius!!

Miledi Golem praised herself. However, her words didnt enter Hajimes ears. Hajimes expression was sharp. Thats because there was jet black armor beneath the wrecked chest armor, and he noticed one thing from that. Hajime remembered that armors material.

Nnu~, did this interest you~

Miledi Golem noticed Hajimes gaze, and with a grinning voice she pointed at the jet black armor. With the tone of someone important, This is you know~, she tried to explain the armors identity, but Hajime continued that with a mutter followed by a vulgar word.

Azanthium huh, bastard.

Azanthium ore is an ore boasting the trait as the worlds hardest ore that even Hajime use in some of his equipment. A thin coating of this ore is even able to endure Donners maximum power. Thats why Schlagens attack was unable to scratch it. Hajime drew wrinkles on his forehead because it would be hard to destroy that Azanthium armor.

Oh my? You knew of this~, rather thats a given. You have conquered O-kuns dungeon after all, so it was impossible for you to not know how to use Creation magic~, now come, because you had understood your limit and feel hopelessness, lets move on to the second round!

Miledi snatched the materials from the smashed floating blocks, when the surface armor was reconstructed, she started to fiercely charge while firing the Morningstar.

W-what should we do!? Hajime-san!

There is still a way. By any means, seal off her movement!

Nn, affirmative

With the condition where they didnt have enough firepower, Shia who was shaken asked Hajime. Hajime still had his last resort, to use it he issued an order to seal off Miledi Golems movement. On the other hand, Yue and Shia let out somewhat relieved expressions and they tried to evade the incoming Morningstar by jumping to the nearby floating blocks. However,

I wont let you~

Along with Miledi Golems voice, the floating blocks that became their footholds started rotating in high speed. With their footholds rotating all of a sudden, Hajime and his party lost their balance. Then, the Morningstar crashed into Hajime and his party with its immense power. Hajime and his party abandoned their footholds that had become fine dust. Hajime was clinging to the chain that passed with jhara jhara sounds. Yue used the fragments of the smashed floating blocks along with Soar, while Shia was using the recoil from Doryukkens explosion to somehow manage to make an emergency landing on the floating block before her eyes.

Maybe because that was Miledi Golems aim, she thrusted her heat knuckle towards them.

Kuu!!

Nnh!!

They avoided the direct hit but were affected by the force of it passing by. Groans of anguish were let out from Yue and Shias mouth. Even so, as if that were something else, Yue aimed at Miledi Golems hand and invoked Rupture, while Shia used Doryukkens gimmick to let out a stake, and with a strike, pierced Miledi Golems armor, and clung to it.

Rupture was able to cut off part of Miledi Golems right hand, but it couldnt completely sever it, and Yue landed on another floating block with a mortified expression.

On the other hand, Shia who clung to Miledi Golems left shoulder made a full swing of Doryukken and aimed at Miledis head. However, Miledi Golems sudden use of fall made Shia lose her balance and she was thrown out in the air.

Kyaa!

Shia let out a scream. Over there, Hajime who clung on to the Morningstars chain swung himself and using the centrifugal force, he jumped and caught Shia in the air.

Hajime-san!

Shia called out Hajimes name with a voice full of joy. It was the rescue by embracing that she yearned for. Although she was aware of the situation they were in, she immediately felt elated. However, there was Hajimes quality. Shia was thrown to the crowd of demonic beasts in front of them.

H-Hajime-san!?

Lets go one more time!

With a gashun, he reloaded a shotshell into his artificial arm and then fired it. Using the recoil, Hajime rotated and threw Shia toward Miledi Golem assisted by the centrifugal force.

Damn ittt!

When she thought her desire had been fulfilled, the next moment she was in a situation where she was suicide attacking the enemy. Letting out a roar of desperation she prepared Doryukken.

Even Miledi felt that Hajimes actions were cold. However, she was still ready to intercept that, she drew back the heat knuckle behind while clenching its fist. And, in the next moment, suddenly a big explosion came from the chain that connected to the Morningstar.

Wawawah, what-!?

Miledi let out a surprised voice. The cause of the explosion was a large amount of grenades that Hajime attached to the chain. With tremendous explosive power, the chain was blown from the middle section, while the left arm that was wrapped by it was greatly damaged. Because of the impact, Miledi Golems stance was broken.

Shia reached her while swinging Doryukken.

Rhaaaaa!!

Along with that shout, she pulled the trigger on the handle and the shotshell inside burst out. Doryukken approached Miledi Golem using the momentum created by the acceleration from the impact that was even able to crush air.

Miledi Golem was still occupied by the severe damage on her left arm. Immediately, Doryukken hit her left hand. Without mercy, Doryukken pulverized the brittle left arm up to the shoulder.

With the momentum used to swing Doryukken, Shia floated in mid-air. Miledi Golem wanted to at least take revenge for her left arm, and she released her heat knuckle at Shia.

However, during the time Miledi was concentrating on Shia, a laser of water came forth from her lower side, and it precisely cut the part that was previously only partially cut. Afterwards, with the wound opened up and being cut further, Miledi Golems right hand was finally cut off.

I did it.

The one who said that with a smile, was of course Yue.

Kh, you! Dont get carried away!

Miledi raised a voice filled with irritation. In that moment, Hajime fired the anchor at the floating block overhead and moved in the air like a pendulum, catching Shia who had fallen. However, it was not a hug, but rather, holding her armpit.

Hajime-sa~n, arent you going to give me a hug as a reward? Please read the mood~

Dont say it as if I was a KY. You who tries to fulfill your desire in such a situation is the one that should read the mood

The moment they landed on the nearby floating block, Shia let out a displeased voice while pouting, then Hajime tsukkomid while amazed by that. Miledi who lost both arms somehow didnt summon the surrounding blocks to reconstruct her arms, she only looked at the ceiling while her eyes shone strongly.

Because of a totally bad premonition, Hajimes expression stiffened. It was also supported by Shias pale expression.

Hajime-san, Yue-san! Dodge! Itll rain ( )!

Hajime guessed Shias special magic had perhaps triggered. That means, somehow a dangerous situation that could kill someone related to, or Shia herself would occur. He confirmed Yues location, a little ways behind him, with a cursory glance, then Hajime took a stance to respond to anything that might happen

Immediately, it happened.

The entirety of the room rumbled. The low rumbling of earth resounded, fragments fell from the ceiling. No, they were not fragments. It was the ceiling itself thats falling.

Kh!? That bastard!

Fufufu, its payback. Although I am incapable of controlling multiple things except the knights, if its only to make them fall, then even I can cause hundreds of them to do so~, show me how you surpass this~

Although there was irritation in Miledis easygoing words, there was no time to notice it. Because the rooms walls were made from numerous blocks, that means the ceiling is also made from numerous blocks. One by one, each of those blocks were gigantic with weight surpassing ten tons. Those things were falling like rain. Cold sweat flowed from Hajimes forehead.

Ha-Hajime-san!

Lets join with Yue!

Shia let out a trembling voice while being carried, and using the anchor with a pendulum-like movement, they jumped toward Yues direction. Yue also jumped using the floating blocks as footholds toward them. During that time, Miledi Golem kept looking at the ceiling. Perhaps, just as she said, unlike the golem knights she was only able to control one or two things. Therefore, in order to make them fall, she must concentrate to remove hundreds of those gigantic stones from the ceiling.

Somehow, when Hajime and his party rejoined, hundreds of gigantic stones simultaneously poured down from the sky.

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOh!!! GOBAh!!

Blocks were coming from the ceiling, groups of gigantic stones were falling, letting out devastating roars while the rooms tremor was stopped. Moreover, she might even be able to adjust the trajectories because they were specifically aimed at the place where Hajime and his party were. Even Miledi Golem wouldnt commit a double suicide, so itd be safe to go under her and after he took a glance at that, he dashed out with a tremendous speed along the wall. But, even if he started now, they wouldnt make it.

Yue! Shia! Hold on tight! Absolutely dont let go!

Nnh!

Yess!

As soon as Hajime heard Yue and Shia, he once again took out Orkan from Treasure Box. Then, he rapidly fired 12 rockets at the oncoming gigantic stones. While leaving trails of sparks, they flew towards the death that was coming overhead, and one by one the rockets that came flying at the gigantic stones caused large explosions.

Their vision was shrouded, the groups of gigantic stones couldnt be seen, and they let out a little smile because of Orkans attacks. Finally they were able to see some of the ceiling. Hajime put Orkan away then set up Donner-Schlag and fired them at the ceiling. He tried to spread the little path of safety they were in, so he continued to precisely break the fragments from the gigantic stones.

However, Hajimes interception could only go so far. Finally, groups of gigantic stones that fell with great velocity reached Hajime and his party. Hajime confirmed that Yue and Shia were tightly holding onto him, then moved using his special magic. It was Light Speed. Hajimes world immediately lost its color, he was able to recognize the falling fragments of death one by one.

He passed by the barrage of gigantic stone fragments using the minimum necessary movement. At the same time, he spun the guns in his hands and reloaded them, he used concentrated shots at the unavoidable fragments, changing their trajectories. He couldnt waste even a comma. Just like the fight with the Guardian of Orcus Great Dungeon, where even with the level of perception expansion from Light Speed that he just awoke to, it still wasnt enough. It was necessary to exceed the limit of concentration!

Hajime further used another special magic. It was Limit Break. Hajimes body was immediately wrapped in red light. But, that immediately disappeared. If it was normal, Hajimes physical abilities should have raised by three times, but that special magic was nullified by the dungeons magic power disintegration. Limit Break itself was similar to wearing a reinforced exoskeleton made by magic. It was different for physical ability strengthening which was applied internally. In other words, even with the cancellation of body strengthening, his strengthened and expanded perception effectiveness was not canceled.

Also, to break the limit wasnt something gained for free. The load on his body wasnt something normal. Furthermore, Hajime already strengthened his perception to the limit using Light Speed. His body would already have been broken if not for the demonic beasts meat that he ate. Actually, because he was still unable to endure it, the capillaries in Hajimes eyeballs showed, while he let out a little nosebleed.

Yue and Shia were swaying unsteadily when he moved, while clinging to Hajime who was evading the death that rained with only small movements. He balanced himself on the footholds that swayed and were violently crushed, sometimes he made the falling fragments as his foothold. He sharpened his mind, and now he was able to perceive the cracks on the falling rocks one by one. Having passed the limit, he used the area that normally could not be used by humans to find a way to escape death!

Miledi who observed Hajime and his party from the walls side, saw that they were immediately swallowed by the groups of gigantic stones. Although they struggled, they werent able to surpass those large masses as expected, then she deactivated fall with a little disappointment.

With their fall stopped, the clusters of gigantic stones were floating along with the blocks, then the scattered ceilings wreckage rose.

U~n, as expected, it was impossible~, but if they couldnt do this much, they wouldnt be able to win against those shitty bastards~

Miledi muttered that while searching for the corpses of Hajime and his party. And, at that time,

I have no interest in those shitty bastards.

Eh?

She heard a familiar voice. The insolent boy that moved at his own pace, gray haired with an eyepatch and used artifacts shes never seen before. Thats right, it was Hajimes voice. Miledi turned her head to the back while letting out a shocked voice tinged with a little joy.

There was, surely, Hajime who stood safe and sound on the floating block with rough breathing, and blood flowing from his eye and nose while glaring at Miledi.

H-how

Because she saw Hajime swallowed by the group of gigantic stones in front of her eyes, Miledi could only unintentionally let out a doubting voice in front of him. Having seen that, Hajimes mouth formed a smile.

Although its okay to answer that is it okay to only focus on me?

Eh?

Miledi raised the same doubting voice as before. But, that doubt was immediately answered by hits of magic.

Rupture

Yues dignified chant resounded, then lasers of water rushed out from behind Miledi Golem and hit her back, feet, head, and shoulders. The water cutter tore apart the surface armor of each part.

No matter how many times you do it, it wont be any different~, Ill just defeat you after reconstructing my arms.

Well, we wont let you have the time for that.

To the Miledi Golem that still calmly turned around after receiving Yues magic, Hajime used the anchor to approach her in a flash. In his other hand was Schlagen.

Ahaha, this again? Well, its impossible to break my Azanthium armor~

Miledi was still composed. She thought Hajime who clung to her was trying to shoot the chest part having aimed Schlagen there. She didnt even try to obstruct him using the floating blocks in the surroundings. Well, that was only natural. After all, Hajimes weapon was proven to be unable to stand against Miledi Golems armor. Therefore, because it already reached this stage, he still chose that kind of attack. Miledi determined that he was just putting up useless resistance without any more plans behind it.

However, her composure proved to be fatal.

I already know that!

Sparks came from Schlagen along with Hajimes words, he fired the full-metal jacket-like thing that was accelerated by electromagnetism towards Miledi Golems chest at zero distance. A great roar and impact were generated while Miledi Golem was blown backward.

However, Hajime didnt withdraw like last time. He kept clinging using the anchor, his artificial arm pushed into the Miledi Golems chest that was broken, once it was inside he fired the shotshells until they were exhausted. The tremendous impact blew Miledi Golem even further, and she was thrown into the floating block behind her.

E-even after this, eventually

Yue!

Ignoring Miledis words, Hajime called out Yues name. Following that, Yue jumped and released her magic.

Be frozen! Ice Coffin!

Just as she wished, she pulled the trigger to activate the magic thats originally used to confine objects inside a coffin of ice. However, this ice magic was a high-ranked water magic. Middle-ranked and above magic should be unusable in this area. Even so, this magic was necessary to restrain Miledi Golem.

The ceiling blocks that she threw along with the back of Miledi Golem were frozen immediately, then the floating block was at a stand still.

Wh-!? How did high-ranked magic!?

Miledi raised a shocked voice. It was a simple story on how Yue was able to use high-ranked ice magic. Just like Rupture, by preparing the water beforehand she was able to reduce the consumption of magic power. Thats why beforehand, water was scattered on the blocks that Miledi was thrown to. Also, water was also scattered on the back of the composed Miledi Golem. That was the objective of the previous Rupture.

Even so, it still consumed enormous magic power, Yue used up all of the magic power that she stocked inside the magic crystallization stone. Yue evacuated on the nearby floating block while panting.

You did it, Yue!

Standing on Miledi Golems chest, Hajime took out his last resort from Treasure Box. What appeared from the void was a large elongated cylinder with a length of two and a half meters. A lot of mechanisms were installed outside, while inside a jet black stake with a diameter of 20 centimeters was loaded. On the lower side, four sturdy arms were installed, and it began to synchronize with the mechanisms inside Hajimes artificial arm.

Just like that, Hajime inserted the arms right above the unmoving Miledi Golem, and fired the anchors that were installed on its outer casing. Six arms deeply pierced the surface and firmly fixed the large cylinder in place. At the same time, Hajime poured his magic power into it. Then, the large cylinder let out red sparks, the jet black stake that was loaded inside began to strongly rotate.

KIiIIIII!!!

The melody coming from the high-speed rotation echoed. Hajime was grinning, if not for having a golems body, Miledis expression would surely seem cramped. This atrocious form was the artificial arms attachable weapon called Pile Bunker. Using Compression Transmutation, four tons were compressed into a stake with a diameter of 20 centimeters and length of 1.2 meters, and its surface was coated with Azanthium ore. It was the heaviest and hardest stake in this world. It was shot out using a large amount of combustion powder that was compressed and electromagnetic acceleration that was set on the upper part of the large cylinder.

Take it with all your might and die.

Accompanied by those words, as if driving a stake into a vampire, the jet black stake struck Miledi Golems core.

GOoGAGAGAN!!!

The pile bunker activated accompanied with a terrific impacting sound, the jet black stake pierced through Miledi Golems absolute defense. The Azanthium armor on the chest was immediately cracked, and the stake buried itself into it without mercy. Because of the impact, Miledi Golems body sank and created a radial crack on the floating block. The floating block immediately descended. From Miledi Golem, white smoke was rising from the chest part because of the friction from high-speed rotation.

however, the light didnt disappear from Miledi Golems eyes.

Ha, hah. Apparently its power is still insufficient. But, well isnt it the real deal? I wonder, did it pierce 3/4 of the armor?

Somewhat, her voice was stiff, but Miledi still kept her composure. She secretly drenched in cold sweat. Although the pile bunker was a certain kill weapon, because of insufficient electromagnetic acceleration, its real power couldnt be shown. Therefore, it was disappointingly unable to fully penetrate the defense.

However, Hajimes eyes didnt show any resignation. It was as if he already took it into account.

Do it! Shia!

Hajime put everything away into Treasure Box except the stake, then he quickly jumped away from Miledi Golems chest.

What appeared instead of him was Shia with rabbit ears blown by the wind and Doryukken in an upper stance, while she fell from far above.

Kh!?

Miledi had probably guessed what Shia tried to do. This time, Miledi Golem tried to hurriedly get away. When she realized, with Shias current speed, even if she moved the floating block now, she wouldnt make it in time she gave up and stopped moving.

Shia, using the force from the shotshell, brought down a blow with all of her might into the stake.

DOGOoOO!!!

The stake sank further accompanied with a great roar. However, it was still unable to fully penetrate the armor. Shia decided to attack using all of the remaining shotshells, then she pulled the trigger.

DOGONh! DOGONh! DOGONh! DOGONh! DOGONh! DOGONh!

AaAAAAA!!

Shias shout rang out. She decided to show all of her will and pour it into the Sledgehammer that was her partner. With all of her might and will, she let out all of her power. Together with the attack, the floating block was greatly pushed downwards by the impact.

Finally, with a roar the floating block crashed onto the ground. The jet black stake penetrated the absolute defense of Azanthium with the last attack, and reached Miledi Golems core. Although it was just the tip, but bishih, the core was cracked along with that sound.

When it crashed into the ground, Shia used Doryukken as the starting point, and with one hand, she somersaulted. Then, with all of the body strengthening power directed to her leg, the kick that carried enough centrifugal force was used to drive in the stake.

Having received Shias kick, the stake was immediately pushed deeper into the core and expanded the cracks until finally it was completely crushed.

The light in Miledi Golems eyes disappeared. Having confirmed that, Shia gradually loosened her power, and let out a sigh of relief. Immediately, Shia heard landing sounds behind her. There was Hajime and Yue as expected. Shia turned toward the two with a smile that sums up everything. Hajime and Yue also let out smiles that sums up everything.

One of Seven Great Dungeons; Raisen Great Dungeons last trial was certainly over.
