After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 47

Chapter 47

『 Look at this! This is the boss room of the 40th level of Tokyo’s second dungeon. And as we speak, five members of clan, The Order of Red Knights, the pride of Japan, are getting read to take on the boss challenge! 』

In the dimly-lit corridor of the dungeon, the reporter makes a live report in front of the camera.

On the screen, five explorers were about to enter the boss’s room.

“It’s so exciting right~ …Onii-chan.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Sitting on the tattered sofa in front of the TV, Miku and I watched the group of explorers.

『 At last we’re inside the boss’s room…so far no sign of the boss… perhaps he’s hiding somewhere? 』

The members of the team and the entire TV station staff stepped into the boss’s room together.

it was dimly lit inside the boss’s room. Almost nothing could be seen.

“You never know from where the boss will appear at any moment. Get your weapons ready. Get into formation.”

The leader-like explorer instructs his companions and gets himself ready for battle as well.

The staff members observe the situation from a short distance away with tense expressions on their faces.

“Nn? What the heck is that… ?”

Suddenly, one of the members of the team points at a direction.

The camera zooms in.

What appeared on the screen was a large sickle floating in mid-air.

“Is it the boss’s weapon… ? Why is it floating?”

While the members were on high alert, I recognized the boss of the 40th level.

“I see… so the boss is a wraith…”

A wraith.

Without any real existence, the type of monsters that are said to be at the top of the so-called spirit-type monsters.

They are quite powerful monsters to whom physical attacks and offensive magic do not work.

Given that no amount of brute force will work on it, I wonder how they are going to deal with it.

“Eh… Onii-chan, what did you —just now?”

“Nope, it’s nothing.”

As she was about to ask me the name of the monster I had accidentally mumbled out, I hastily tried to cover it up.

that was dangerous, really, dangerous.

Since that was a monster I knew, I instinctively said it out loud.

“Hey, hey!! Look!! The scythe is moving!!”

“Watch out!! It’s coming our way!!”

The explorers of the team group are surprised to see the scythe swinging by itself.

I see …so they can’t see the wraith.

Neither can I see it once through the camera lens, but if I were to face it directly, I would be able to invoke the power of the magic eye and see its true nature.

And while I was wondering this, the battle began.

A metallic “ging” sound was heard, and sparks flew.

The leader’s sword and the Wraith’s scythe were just on the verge of a battle in mid-air.

“Wh–what’s are we going to do, leader!?”

“Is this scythe the boss monster… ?”

The leader gives instructions to the perplexed members.

“No, it isn’t! Most probably this is a boss monster with a scythe! It must be using some sort of transparency ability or something! The entity has to be somewhere! All hands begin attack!”

At the leader’s command, the remaining four used their skills.

I couldn’t tell what their skills were through the video alone, however, the video captured the moment when something like a stone sphere and debris flew toward the floating scythe.

“Mu?”

“Missed…?”

“Something’s really wrong…?”

“And at this distance…?”

The four of them made puzzled noises.

Perhaps all their skills cut through the air.

The scythe floating in the air continues its attack on the leader.

‘Kuh… each and every blow is damn heavy… finish it off quickly! I can’t hold out much longer!!”

The leader who was bearing the brunt of those attacks gives out a screaming yelp.

They are still unable to even pretend to realize that their opponent is a monster against whom physical attacks are completely ineffective.

This is battle is going to last quite long, or so I thought to myself.
