## Chapter 196 – Disaster
“Oh! Are we finally going to see you destroy a dungeon! Where are you going to do it! Here?!”
“Think a little, Craig! If you do it here, we’ll all get caught up in it!”
“…Where are you planning to destroy the dungeon, Rent?”
To Mr. Jason’s question, I replied,
“First, I’m planning to go about 100 meters further from here! After that, everyone, please jump into the hole I make!”
“Excuse me for a moment, Rent.”
“Yes, Miss Misha.”
“If we jump into the hole, how are we supposed to land?”
To prioritize the battle, the others don’t have parachutes like the Guild Master or Mr. Kelban.
But there’s no need to worry about that.
I’ve already discussed it with the Guild Master and have a solution.
“It’s okay, please trust me.”
“Understood. I trust you, Rent.”
Jen said to the adventurer in charge of reconnaissance,
“Go back right now and tell the rear guard to come. We’ll be going to the next floor soon.”
“Yes!”
The reconnaissance adventurer turned around and ran, cutting down goblins as he went.
“Then, I’ll begin as well.”
And I also kicked off the ground, heading forward.
Bang!
With a strong momentum, I kicked off the ground and immediately reached 100 meters ahead.
Even as I was rushing, goblins began to spawn from inside the dungeon here and there.
I need to make a hole as soon as possible.
If I make a hole, even if goblins come pouring in from the other side, they won’t be able to easily jump over it.
I clenched my right fist.
Woo woo woo woo woo!
Create Sound made a sound effect that was perfect for when I was exerting my strength.
It made me feel like I was a character in an anime or movie, which got me excited.
And I shouted loudly and punched the floor.
“Oooorrrryaaaaaaahhhhhh!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!
The dungeon floor was destroyed, and I fell down again.
About 10 seconds passed since I fell.
“Wow! It really got destroyed! That’s awesome!”
“…The world is full of surprises.”
“Hahahaha! You really are a dungeon crusher! If Craig wasn’t here, I’d be falling for you!”
“Amanda!?”
“Don’t worry, you jerk! You’re the only one for me! My love!”
“That’s Rent’s power…!”
“That’s really amazing, Rent!”
Everyone else was falling towards the hole.
I flipped my body and said,
“Everyone’s here!”
“Yeah, I heard your loud shout and came right away! But that’s really amazing! Hey, when we reach the 21st floor, how about forming a temporary party with me!”
“If it’s with Jen, I’m welcome!”
“Hey, that’s unfair, Jen! Hey Rent! When we reach the 20th floor or higher, talk to us too! Got it! And don’t get too close to Amanda!”
“Yes! Mr. Craig!”
“Geez, you get jealous right away just because I made a joke!”
For some reason, I felt an atmosphere from Amanda that resembled my mother.
Anyway, through the fluttering of Miss Misha’s priestess robes, I could see her underwear.
…I think yellow panties are good too.
“R-Rent! Below! Please look below!”
At Miss Misha’s words, I immediately flipped my body again, and the scenery of the 2nd floor came into view.
Numerous slimes were gnawing at the grass in the meadow.
“Everyone! The danger level of the 2nd floor is low, so we’ll go straight down to the 3rd floor!”
If it’s just slimes on the 2nd floor, even if we don’t subjugate them in advance, other adventurers will be able to handle them.
“Okay!”
“I agree!”
“Me too.”
“Yes!”
“Then let’s go straight to the 3rd floor! Break it again, Rent!”
“Yes!”
I clenched my fist.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo!
The moment I got close to the floor of the 2nd floor, I punched it.
“Oooorrrryaaaaaaahhhhhh!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
As the dungeon floor was destroyed, numerous slimes fell together, and the moment they passed through the destroyed magic circle, the slimes and floor debris disappeared.
“Awesome! You really destroyed it!”
“Seeing it in person is different, isn’t it?”
“…Interesting.”
And the scene of the 3rd floor unfolded before our eyes.
Kuh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
Kwa-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
Kuh-uh-kuh-uh-kuh-uh-uh-uh!
Below, numerous kobolds were bustling and running wild in the forest.
“Hey, Rent! What are we going to do now! We need to take those guys out before we land!”
“Don’t worry, Jen!”
I spread out the palms of both hands, making the hand gesture often seen in Buddha statues.
And I emitted a golden aura that clearly felt holy all over my body.
Wooooooong~
Create Sound produced the appropriate sound effect.
“What!?”
“Light is coming from Rent’s body…!!”
“What is this sound?”
“Oh, that’s cool, Rent!”
I put strength into my hands and stretched them out towards the kobolds below.
“Buddha Palm!”
Paaaaaaaat!
Just by stretching out my palms with all my might, a wind pressure in the shape of a palm went downwards.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
It crushed the kobolds and trees, leaving a large palm-shaped mark on the ground.
But even if it was big, it wasn’t enough to eliminate all the kobolds.
I imagined a Buddha statue with many hands behind my back and continued to stretch out my left and right hands alternately in succession.
“Buddha Palm! Thousand Hands!”
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!
In sync with my hands that were stretching out at high speed, I made a sound effect.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
My palm prints were left all over the place around us below.
And that place was dyed red with the blood of the kobolds.
I didn’t actually strike 1000 times, but some exaggeration is necessary for the name of the technique.
Mr. Jason said quietly at the sight I had created.
“…That’s really absurd.”
“Isn’t that too awesome! Aren’t you the strongest among us! No, the strongest in the world…”
“You idiot, that’s obvious since he broke the dungeon floor!”
“Hahahahahahaha! It’s so amazing that I can’t help but laugh!”
“R-Rent! Landing! How do we land!”
“Don’t worry! Hup!”
I stretched out both arms downwards and used Mana Weapon.
What I imagined was a huge, fluffy cushion.
The fluffiness of the cushion is based on my bed!
A huge, fluffy white cushion appeared in front of me, and we fell to the ground, buried in the cushion.
Po-o-o-o-ong!
Even though we fell to the ground, there was no impact at all thanks to the cushion, and only fluffiness enveloped my whole body.
“…Amanda, this is too good compared to my bed. Should we sleep here for a while?”
“Stop talking nonsense, my love. But it is good.”
“…Comfortable.”
“Rent, did you make this with Mana Weapon too?”
“Yes.”
“…What is the meaning of the ‘weapon’ in Mana Weapon?”
“Hahaha, don’t worry about the small stuff, Misha!”
“Then I’ll release it!”
When I released the Mana Weapon, we fell down again.
It was quite a high height, but everyone was an A-rank adventurer who had been promoted.
Miss Misha is also a B-rank level.
Cha cha cha chak!
Everyone landed on the ground without any problems.
“Hey, Rent. There’s something I want to ask.”
After landing, Craig asked me.
“What is it?”
“What’s that thing floating next to you? Come to think of it, a strange sound has been coming from that floating ball.”
“Ah, this is… a skill that makes cool sound effects that I imagine whenever I act.”
“What? Sound effects?”
“Yes. For example…”
I created a sword sheathed in a scabbard with Mana Weapon and then drew the sword.
Srrrrrrrrrrring!
“Like this, I can make exaggerated but cool sounds.”
“…Is that all?”
“That’s all.”
“They say that the really strong guys sometimes have incomprehensible thoughts, and you’re exactly like that.”
“No, Craig. Is there anything strange about it! It’s a very good skill! Rent, can you make sound effects when I move too?”
“Yes. Try swinging your halberd.”
“Hup!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
“Oh, it makes a heavier sound! Hahaha. I like it!”
Mr. Jen, who knows what’s cool, really liked my Create Sound.
Looking at Mr. Jen, Mr. Craig frowned slightly and said,
“You’re weird too.”
“Craig, don’t worry too much about that. Everyone has their own unique tastes.”
“Like your outfit?”
“Are you picking a fight at a time like this, my love?”
“Oh, no, not at all.”
“Then don’t worry about every little thing! And…”
Amanda looked around sharply.
Kobolds began to spawn on the blood-soaked floor.
“We have an important job right now.”
Everyone regained their composure.
“Power! Speed! Barrier!”
Miss Misha cast buff magic on everyone again.
“Alright! Let’s do our best again!”
With Amanda’s shout, we began hunting kobolds.
◈
We hunted kobolds as we headed towards the warp device.
This was to prevent a situation where the rear guard couldn’t advance when they arrived on the 3rd floor because monsters were gathered around the warp device.
Perhaps because it wasn’t a cave like the 1st floor but a more spacious area, it was easier for the others to move around.
Everyone’s hunting speed was much faster than when we were catching goblins.
“Hahahahahah! Eat this!”
The trajectory of the twin axes that Craig threw was also larger, so he hunted more kobolds.
“Hah!”
Amanda’s range of activity also widened, and she swung her sword more widely, hunting kobolds all at once.
Of course, the same was true for Mr. Jason.
“…Hup!”
His skill in cutting down the kobolds’ necks with even more speed was truly an art.
And Jen…
“Here comes a big one! Great! Magic Slash!”
Shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!
He infused a large amount of magic power into his halberd and wiped out the kobolds with a huge slash.
“Hey, Rent! The sound effect just now was awesome!”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied!”
“Please tell me if you’re tired! I’ll cast stamina heal!”
Miss Misha was watching the surrounding situation so that everyone could give their all at any time.
“Hmph! I haven’t even broken a sweat with this much!”
“I’m fine!”
“…No problems.”
“I’m still energetic!”
“Me too!”
And I was in charge of dealing with the large groups of kobolds coming from behind so that the four people hunting while rushing towards the warp device could hunt comfortably.
“Become lighttttttttttttttttt!”
Chwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
I took out a huge golden hammer and blew away a large number of kobolds along with the surrounding trees.
“Please leave the rear to me with peace of mind!”
Craig shouted loudly.
“This is the first time I’ve felt so relieved!”
“Thank you!”
And as I reached the warp device and continued to hunt the overflowing kobolds, I felt a sense of incongruity.
I was wielding my hammer near the warp device, and I asked Mr. Jason, who seemed to be the best at analyzing information.
“Mr. Jason!”
“…What is it.”
“Don’t you think the production speed is slower than when we were fighting goblins!”
“…That’s certainly true.”
“What’s the reason!”
Mr. Jason defeated a kobold and thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Rent, you said that the magic power used to repair the destroyed hole would reduce the magic power used to produce monsters, right?”
“Yes!”
“Then it must be a similar principle. The magic power is focused on repairing the surrounding terrain, which has reduced the speed at which kobolds appear.”
“I see!”
That certainly makes sense.
“What, so does that mean it’ll be easier if Rent just goes around destroying the dungeon randomly?”
“Theoretically, that’s how it would be.”
Craig shouted at me.
“Hey, Rent! We’ll protect the area around the warp device, so you go wild until the person in charge of reconnaissance comes! So that the guys who come later won’t have a hard time!”
“Yes!”
“Go on a rampage! Like you’ve become the incarnation of the god of destruction! Kua ha ha ha!”
“M-Mr. Craig, even if it’s just a metaphor, please don’t say things like that.”
“Ah, I’m sorry about that.”
“Rent! Show off your cool skills!”
“Yes, Jen! Hup!”
I created a long pillar in front of me and jumped to the top of the pillar.
Looking down from above, I could see that the area where I had swung my hammer was almost a wasteland, or was covered in blood, or was full of kobold corpses.
But there were still many brown kobold swarms and green trees.
Normally, I should love nature, but this is a dungeon.
Rather, in order to stop the current situation, I have to destroy all the greenery of this beautiful dungeon.
Why is that?
Is it because I’m making weapons with Mana Weapon and defeating a large number of monsters?
I felt incredibly uplifted.
I felt like I could do anything right now.
What would you call this, Solly?
『Wouldn’t you say you’re HIGH?』
That’s it.
I haven’t even put on a stone mask, but my heart is feeling very HIGH right now.
It reminds me of my innocent childhood when I used to watch hero shows or action movies and get excited, shouting out the names of various techniques and imitating them.
“Sssssssssssssss…”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I can’t use Hamon, but no, is magic power like Hamon?
Anyway, I took a deep breath to get my mood up.
“Hooooooooooooo…”
After exhaling deeply, I opened my eyes with a flash, kicked off the pillar, and jumped high.
And with yellow and red auras wrapped around my left and right fists, I clenched my fists and shouted as I punched at high speed towards the brown swarms and the green trees.
“Meteor Fist! Overdriveeeeeeeeeee!”
Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!
Create Sound played a very appropriate sound effect.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The numerous wind pressures created by my powerful punches turned the kobolds into mush and destroyed the trees, as if a meteor shower had fallen.
If the monster rampage is a disaster for the world, then I shall become a disaster for the monsters!
That phrase came to my mind for a moment.
What do you think, Solly?
『If Rent is happy, then isn’t that good enough?』
Solly was always a YES woman to me.
“I’m saying this again… but can’t he really solve everything by himself?”
“The Guild Master is trustworthy.”
“…The reincarnation of the god of destruction.”
“M-Mr. Jason! You shouldn’t say such rude things! Think of it this way! Rent is an apostle of the god Solly!”
“Kuhhhh! That’s awesome! Do more, Rent!”
Everyone’s voices were carried by the wind.
