Chapter 31 – There Is No Room For Struggle
The boss of the Tengumine Shrine dungeon is Daidara.
At first glance, it looks like a larger version of the Red Oni, with its skin changed to an earthy color and its face contoured to look flat.
It has a huge body of more than a dozen meters, nearly 10,000 HP, and an Attack Power far beyond that of a small fry.
Furthermore, it can create a crack in the ground with its Earth Crack skill.
Of course, if you get swallowed by the crack, you will die instantly.
It is a very annoying monster.
Because one mistake can lead to death, ordinary parties do not try to fight it unless they have to.
The Tengumine Shrine dungeon is unpopular among B-rank dungeons because of this monster, and even the occasional explorers who come to the dungeon usually turn back at the fourth floor.
…Well, this may simply be due to the poor accessibility of the Tengumine Shrine.
But because its strengths are so clear, its weaknesses are also easy to see.
It moves slowly and has low Mental Strength (Magic Defense).
It also has a human look.
It’s an easy opponent for me.
Nnmmooooooo!
With a rather stupid cry, Daidara took a step forward.
With that, the ground shook violently.
“Oops!”
I held my lifted leg down.
It’s depressing that it shakes so much every time it walks.
But with my high Agility, a little unstable footing is nothing to worry about.
Again, my strategy is simple.
I run around the Daidara and move to its back.
Daidara has lost sight of me and is shaking its head from side to side.
It seems that it did not see my movement.
I was on its unprotected back,
“Flame Lance!”
I struck it with magic.
The damage must have been considerable, but Daidara turned around quietly, showing no sign of pain.
By then, I was already behind it.
“Flame Lance!”
I aimed at the medulla oblongata and cast another magic spell.
It was a critical hit, but it didn’t kill it instantly.
――You can probably tell.
I, who can also get a critical hit from magic with the effect of Magic Critical, aim for instant death with Assassination and Fatal Critical while further increasing the critical rate with Backstab.
The probability of instant death is not high, but if I keep trying, I will eventually get it.
However, since Daidara is vulnerable to magic, it may be faster to cut off its HP than to trigger instant death.
After about ten shots with the Flame Lance,
Nnnnmoooooo…!!!
With a sound like a building collapsing, Daidara’s huge body fell to the ground.

I don’t need to tell you how useful the Minimap is.

Hopefully, there will never be such an occasion.

Earth Crack 1
Causes a deep crack in the ground that swallows anything that falls into it. It can only be used once per battle. It cannot be used on water or in the air.
────────────────────
“Is this… oh my?”
…When I think about it, I feel numb.
The Berserk is when you activate it, you go into a frenzy―you become furious and can only do physical attacks.
It’s too much of a risk, and my main weapon is magic. I won’t have a chance to use it anytime soon.
Still, it is nice to have a bonus to my ability stat.
All-out Strike is also limited to physical attacks.
I wish it could be applied to magic as well.
The Earth Crack is the one Daidara used to have.
I didn’t get a chance to see it, but I was told that it could be avoided even after seeing it because of its large pre-movement.
The appeal of this one is that it kills you instantly when it swallows you, but if you can avoid it, that’s all there is to it.
Then Fatal Critical is more solid because even if it misses, it still does damage.
I don’t know if “solid” is the right word.
…The skills of the Oni were subtle, but this time, the binding of the Oni was not really about the skills.
The “defeat 400 of the same type in a row, including a boss” achievement condition exists for more than just slimes――
I wanted to confirm that.
“I was able to meet God and collect more special conditions than I expected.”
This exploration was intense.
There were too many achievements.
It would take me a while to digest them.
With a smile on my face, I jumped into the portal at the back of the dungeon.
