Thump, thump, thump!

The scythe was so fast that she had to dodge it before she could even see it. Suzy had to dodge several times even in midair.

It was a movement that seemed to shoo away a mosquito, but it wasn’t easy to get close because the scythe was swinging so fast.

However, as Suzy spread her wings wide and swung down from above, Peace’s longbow got in the way.

“Pay attention to this side too, you monster!”

The longbow she had purchased from the store this time had a pretty good penetration effect, and it seemed that Demiurge was quite annoyed by Peace’s bow.

The Saint, who was right next to Peace, also fired arrows without stopping with his shortbow.

In order to block Suzy coming down from high above, she had to expose her weak point.

Thump! Thump!

The guy, as if all this was annoying, took out two invisible arms and swung them at the floor.

The small scythes he was holding on those arms slashed the floor so hard that it shook.

One of them dodged, but the other one pierced Elaine’s shield.

Ki-ging!

With a strange sound, the shield barely deflected the scythe.

Elaine’s face turned red from blocking the heavy blow, and at that moment, Daphne’s sword dug into the guy’s neck.

“One!”

Ka-gang!

A metallic sound that was impossible to believe was the sword and flesh intersecting, but Su-ji paid no attention and pushed the “(Incandescent) Shackle of the Dead” in her other hand into the gap she had made.

The sword was soaked in blue blood, and the guy shook his body violently.

Su-ji fluttered in the air like a fallen leaf, but she had no intention of letting him go easily. I clung to the guy’s shoulder and stabbed him in again, aiming for his weak point.

[(989,909/999,999)

(987,009/999,999)

(970,412/999,999)]

‘When on earth am I going to catch him like this?’

But my stamina didn’t decrease easily.

When I thought about the monster that killed my mother, I wanted to cut its neck in two right away.

The more I dug into the background, the more I realized that this monster wasn’t the problem, but that the ‘great beings’ and the ‘messiah’ and such were the culprits of all this.

This one monster wasn’t the one I needed revenge on.

Even knowing that, my insides were seething.

Boom-!

Soo-ji jumped into the air as she saw another hidden arm coming towards her from behind.

She was deliberately taking risks and engaging in close combat to pull this arm out.

Soo-ji held her two swords together and slashed them down from above.

Boom- Boom!

Knowing the weakness in advance was quite a power.

The joint was severed and the shortest of the guy’s eight arms fell to the floor.

“Keeeeeek-!”

The guy’s hood fell back, and a grotesque skeleton covered in teeth opened its mouth wide and howled. There were also mouths covered in teeth on its forehead and cheeks, so it was impossible to tell which mouth the sound was coming from.

Three red eyes. Three mouths.

It was a visual that really gave you instinctive fear just by looking at it.

“Kurur… …!”

The three mouths moved at the same time.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

The three long and short scythes struck the not-so-wide space.

Elaine, who retrieved her shield and dodged, and the other three who each fled to the corners of their rooms all clung to Demiurge’s side.

With a difference of almost 0.1, 0.2 seconds, the fifth and largest arm of 〈Demiurgos〉, which had popped out from somewhere, swept across the floor. It was obvious that if my body touched it, it would be death.

‘The floorboards aren’t marked.’

Suji gritted her teeth as goosebumps ran down her spine.

Most boss monsters in 〈Tower of the Philosopher〉 indicated their attack ranges in advance. Since they were marked right before the attack, it wasn’t easy to utilize them, but the difficulty difference between having one and not having one was still stark.

It was the same on the 81st floor where the EX-class appeared. It

was something Elaine had warned me

about, but each and every one of them was really not easy. Elaine explained in great detail the gimmicks that would appear whenever 〈Demiurgos〉’s arms disappeared, and if it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid it.

The designs of the ‘Great Beings’ were so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

‘They said I could face the Messiah if I cleared the 100th floor. How did I clear this in the first place? It really sucks.’

But thanks to the ability to summon a crack, I was incredibly lucky to be able to skip floors 86 to 99 and go straight to floor 100.

Thud, thud!

At that moment, I saw the guy’s huge arm slam into the ground twice more as if it was regretting it, then being withdrawn.

The gap in time for the guy to slow down his attack was only a very short moment after the big attack swept across the ground.

‘Don’t think of me as your mother’s enemy, let’s stay calm.’

Suzy gathered her courage and encouraged her teammates.

“There are only 7 left. Just a little more, let’s do our best!”

“Wow… … .”

“There are only 7 left… … .”

Suzy laughed at the dispiriting answers from Peace and Saint, then kicked the ground again and shouted.

“If you catch this guy and think about what you want to do, you’ll feel better!”

Suzy followed the guy in, but the guy didn’t give up easily, as if he had eyes on his back.

While Suzy struggled to find a blind spot, Saint and Peace clenched their teeth and shouted.

“Then I’ll play a board game! You have to play with me, everyone!”

“I want to get soaked in alcohol. How can you get drunk if you take all the items and drink them!”

“I don’t really want anything, I just want Daphne to be happy.”

Elaine also shouted while supporting the long-range attack.

Suzy glared at Elaine in shock.

“… … What, did you confess just now?”

“No, Elaine, are you going to do it openly now?”

“Aren’t you guys going to focus?”

Suzy retorted in disbelief as she listened to Peace and Saint mumbling.

She made a promise to herself that she would definitely make Elaine regret saying those things. She

would make it so that she could live comfortably, so that she would be ashamed of how she had acted.

It’s really strange.

It really helped to pretend to be relaxed and have a future, rather than just thinking about climbing the tower and killing monsters. Just

because you’re relaxed doesn’t mean the monsters get weaker, nor does it make their attack intervals longer.

Strangely, she became confident that she would definitely win.

Suzy stopped thinking and charged again.

While Elaine was attacking the guy’s legs with 〈(Twilight) Scream-Suppressing Silence〉 to draw his attention, Suzy clung to his neck again. She

had to inflict as much damage as possible during the short gap created by the repeated pattern.

Suzy tightly gripped 〈(Incandescent) Shackles of the Dead〉 with both hands and focused on the gap in the guy’s neck.

‘Kieeeeek-!’

Blue blood spurted out here and there, obscuring her vision.

Bam!

One of the guy’s hidden hands popped out again and grabbed Suzy’s torso.

It was a set pattern, but the speed itself was so fast that she was too late to pull herself away.

“Aah!”

It felt like her entire body would crumble with just the force of his grip.

Suzy screamed and swung her sword, but she couldn’t damage him as she wanted because he was held in her huge grip.

‘If this continues, it’s a failure. This can’t be done… … I have to attack him in one go.’

The thought came to mind even as my shoulders felt like they were going to break.

I tried to spread my wings, but I couldn’t do anything. It was the moment when Suzy struggled again.

Boom!

The guy’s joints broke with a loud noise.

When Suzy turned her head, she saw Saint spreading his wings, carrying Elaine, and flying far away before crashing down.

“Euuugh… … .”

“Ugh.”

Elaine must have been hit by the giant scythe while trying to save Suzy with Saint’s help.

“Elaine! Saint!”

Suzy hurriedly got up from her seat and motioned to Peace.

Peace quickly fired his longbow like crazy upon receiving the signal, drawing attention.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

Demiurge, who had lost another arm, slammed into the ground at incredible speed, and the floor of the final floor of the Philosopher’s Tower was shattered into pieces.

Suzy hurriedly ran to Saint and Elaine. The sight of the two crashing down on the floor was unspeakable.

Elaine was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and Saint was lying limp with his eyes closed, momentarily unconscious from the impact.

Even so, no one seemed to have been hit head-on by the scythe blade, as no major injuries were visible.

Suzy hurriedly held the two in her arms, dodging the attack and clinging close to the bastard’s feet.

Only after the giant arm swept across the floor once more did she widen the gap again and pour the potion into their mouths.

“Drink the potion, both of you.”

“… … Oh my, it hurts so bad, Team Leader.”

Saint got up with a groan, then quickly came to his senses and took his place again.

Elaine also took out her shield again as if it was nothing special and stood in front of the group.

Suzy gritted her teeth as she watched the expressions on the faces of the two who were almost on the verge of death return to normal.
