Ten days may have passed since I swore to bring Erin back home . Actually, I dont know how much time has exactly passed because we are currently in the dungeon . Perhaps, we have been stuck here in the 20thlevel floor for about a month . Even if we are in such a desolate situation right now, we are still lucky to be alive . Without any serious injuries, we are stumbling to find a way to escape from this level on our feet .

I hold tight my hands a couple of times .

Its going to be fine . I still have some energy . I can still do it .

I send a hand signal to Erin who can be seen at the front right before the 3 intersections . A monster is walking from the other road and coming to this way . The moment it walks into the trap which we had set up beforehand, I give her the signal . The girl who is standing on a dark road seems to notice my signal . Despite the low visibility, she quickly replies with a big nod .

PACK . Large cutting sounds which are ten times louder than the sound of tree branch breaking can be heard . Apparently, the monster falls into the trap .

I step out to maintain the space . I dash to the street corner and turn around immediately . Its the Frog Beast . His feet are trapped inside the ice and he is struggling to break out .

I shorten my distance with the Frog Beast . This is an art which Jin usually uses . The instant it sees me drawing closer, the Frog Beast jumps slightly and its body starts to tremble . This is a basic technique for the moment when you encounter a monster . The object that the monster sees for the first time will naturally be its target . By using this technique, it is determined that the monster will completely focus its attention on me .

A light pink arrow is released at a high speed .

Next, I activate the evasion art which I have seen a couple of times before being thrown into this 20thfloor . I use this art to avoid being pierced by the Frog Beasts sharp tongue . As I avoid the tongue on the brink of time, saliva is dropping from the mouth . I move my body as I float and pass through the Frog Beasts right side . When I passed through it, my sight was in line with its yellow eyes . Soon after, a ball of light is lighting the front profile of the Frog Beast in the trajectory where I was moving along before .

That is Erins spell, . Anyone who is soaked by the light, will be pierced numerous times by light blades from the inside of its body . In the blink of eyes, the amphibians body is pierced by multiple light blades . However, the Frog Beast is still standing from the attack .

From the previous experience, I have learned that this degree of injuries wont kill it yet . This 20th-floormonster is truly appropriate to live in an environment where humankind are unable to reach . The monsters stamina is particularly high . It is quite difficult for Erin to put a good amount of magical power into one single attack to subdue the monster while considering the surrounding area and maintaining the far distance from the monster .

This is the turning point .

---------Absolutely . Kill it .

I pull out all of my bloodlust and charge toward the Frog Beast .

. This is one of the main arts of an assassin . I havent seen Jin using this art that much . Maybe only once or twice . I rely only on my own intuition to do this art, but I still have some confidence that I will succeed . Other than learning art by mimicking others on how to do it, art can also be learned naturally as you apply it with your whole body . In addition, with my frequent art training, Im also quite confident in manipulating my own presence . is the opposite of which is also easier to learn .

The Frog Beasts attention which has changed to Erin who is at its front, turns back towards me because of my .

Yosh . It works out . I succeed in changing its target . While holding my fist inside, the Frog Beasts launches the tongue attack .

I dont feel any concern about it . At the moment, the Frog Beasts movement is restricted by the trap . Henceforth, it is unable to turn its body properly . Consequently, the tongue goes behind me and misses the target . This kind of assault can be avoided easily with
