356 Fighting Power Check

The following day, I wake up in the nesting hole. Aro, who was sitting on my head, jumps to the floor. I crawl out of the nest and meet the nightmares eyes as it sits in a web strung overhead branches. It moves from its web to a branch, then from the branch the trunk and descends.

I look down at the ground beneath the giant tree. Various monsters can be seen flying around the trunk.

A huge eagles head and a lions body That must be a griffon. It looks pretty strong. Fortunately it doesnt seem to have noticed us and isnt coming this way. I shift my focus beyond the griffon, towards the base of the tree.

Inside the ruins in the roots, letters from my previous world are carved. There has to be some sort of clue related to my previous world in there.

I havent got any memories, and its not like I particularly want to return. Rather than those who I have no memories of, right now Aro and the others are far more important to me. If I cant have them both, then I really would be fine with my memories not returning.

But thats not to say I havent got any curiosity about my place in this world. If clues are dangled in front of my nose, then of course Im going to chase after them.

Glancing to the side, I see Aro next to me also looking down. A short while later, treant-san emerges from the nesting hole, holding a hand-like branch over its mouth to stifle a yawn It somehow gives an impression unreliability.

After passing through the mortal combat with the strange siren birds, Aro and the others statuses have shot up.

Name: Aro

Species: Revaana Lich

Condition: Cursed

Lv: 14/85

HP: 324/324

MP: 345/345

Aro has gone up all the way from level 1 to 14. Its a spectacular 13 level ups. She used so much powerful magic and such precise judgement calls that you wouldnt at all think she was only level 1. At this rate, shell hit the maximum level in no time. Once her status rises a bit more, shell be in the same league as the giant centipede and the mother.

Up to now shes always been receiving my support, but now shes caught up to being just one rank below me. Her achievements have shown that, in this world, high firepower magic types can inflict heavy wounds even to higher rank opponents as long as they have MP to spend. If her level continues to rise like this, shell soon be able to put out attack with even more firepower than I can. Theres no doubt about it, Aro is the key to breaking through the adams in the ruins. When I first saw her, I would never have imagined she would become this strong.

Species: Nightmare

Condition: Normal

Lv: 18/70

HP: 190/190

MP: 183/183

The nightmare went up 4 levels. The reason its level didnt rise as much as Aros even though they both did their best was probably because the single-digit levels are that much easier to raise. I also think Aros contribution was about twice as much as the nightmares. Either way, going up four levels from a single battle is excellent progress. Im getting more experience thanks to [Walking Egg] and the experience I need each level up is reduced by my [Dragon Kings Son], and yet even though Im fighting directly, my level hardly rises at all.

That leaves treant-san

Species: Magical Tree

Condition: Cursed

Why has it only gone up 4 levels?

Th-this is strange. This is definitely strange. Even though the single-digits are super easy to break through, treant-sans level hasnt risen that much N-no, theres nothing wrong with that though

Gaah

It was confused and shot magic at us, remember?

My partner glares at the treant as she throws bitter words at me. T-treant-san is trying its best too!

Besides, were about to go challenge whats probably the most dangerous dungeon in the world, so we cant exactly bring a level 1 tank with us. Im grateful that its level has gone up, even if its just a little.

With how close it was to us, even a worm could have raised its level that much. Its fine if it doesnt do anything to help, but I just hope it doesnt get in our way

H-hey, what are you saying!? What do you know about treant-san!?

Treant-san watches our exchange with a serious expression. S-sorry Th-that is Umm. Right, Im looking forward to seeing your work! But your level is still a bit low, so please attack from the back!

According to Gods Voice, a [Magical Tree] would generally use disruption magic and strengthen its own defence to draw out battles with adventurers, but unfortunately that sort of strategy wont work against an adam. Even if theyre weakened a bit, theyre still A rank monsters. You need a stupid amount of firepower to even begin to break through their [HP: 700].

Even with treant-sans magical support, theyre too difficult an opponent for a C+ rank. Probably, even at max level, a single kick would kill be lethal. Even if it reduces the adams attack stat with a max level [Anti Power] and raises its own defence with [Physical Wall], it might be able to avoid dying in one shot, but its still within that range. I cant expect it to receive their attacks from the front. It also cant do tricky things like the nightmare. Unfortunately, the most I can expect of treant-san is as a super-degraded version of Aro.

By the way, my HP is 2586. My defence stat is also worlds apart from treant-sans, so even if I were to receive successive attacks from the adams, as long as I can distance myself and heal up, its not a problem. Im totally beating treant-san at its own game. Im also a endurance-type dragon after all

Treant-san, what will you do? Umm Its not like Im trying to leave you out, but you dont have to come if you dont want to From here on, itll probably be extremely dangerous

Treant-san wordlessly steps forwards and folds its arm branches, looking down towards the ground. Its personality alone is powerful. I-Im super grateful that youll fight for me, but umm Dont overdo it, okay?
