After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

“Then let’s fight. I want to get this over with quickly.”

I took a stance, facing the boss of the ‘Unknown’. However, the boss remained relaxed, not moving an inch. Had he given up on the fight?

“…?”

“What’s the matter? Come at me.”

As I tilted my head in confusion, the boss reckoned me to attack with a taunting gesture.

“What are you trying to do?”

Unable to understand the boss’ actions, I tilted my head again. There was no sign of him intended to fight, nor did he seem to have given up as well.

Was he hiding some trump card?

“You want to get it over with fast right, just come and attack already.”

“…Yeah. I’ll do just that.”

I don’t understand.

Well, whatever. I’ll just defeat him and end this commotion quickly. If this takes too long, the police might arrive and involve even me in this charade.

“—!!”

I closed in on the boss immediately, aiming a knife-hand strike at his neck. Just then, the boss moved.

“Wait.”

He raised a hand to stop me.

“What is it? Surrendering already?”

“No. I just realized I forgot to explain something.”

“Explain?”

“Yes… Explanation about my skill that is.”

The boss looked at me grinning mischievously.

“I don’t know what powerful skill you have, but it doesn’t matter. My victory was decided right from the start after all.”

“…?”

“Listen and be amazed. My skill is… Skill Canceler! A skill that can nullify all and every kind of skill!”

“…”

“Kuhaha, speechless with shock! Well, that’s only natural! Before me, all skills are powerless. No matter what skill you have, you can never accomplish in defeating me!”

“…”

“Thanks to this skill, I’ve been able to lead the ruffians with powerful skills as the boss of the ‘Unknown’! A skill that cancels out all other skills! In a world ruled by skills, my Skill Canceler shows unparalleled strength!”

“…”

“Without your skills, you are powerless! Your overconfidence in your abilities will be your downfall… And in a fight without skills, is what matters right now… that is —this!”

The boss pulled a handgun from his jacket, pointing the barrel at me with a triumphant smile.

“Too bad for you! Considering you’ve defeated many of my men, but you can’t beat me! Here it ends! Curse your arrogance and di-”

“Excuse me for a moment.”

I interrupted the boss, who was getting carried away with his rant.

“Ah? What is it?”

The boss asks with an irritable look.

“Skill Canceler. A skill that nullifies other skills. That’s your ability, right?”

“Yes, what about it?”

“Certainly, it might be powerful in combat against people dependent on skills, but… how do you think on counter stuff other than skills?”

“Haah?”

The boss looked blankly.

“What are you talking abo—?”

“For example, something like magic.”

I unleashed a wind spell.

Whoosh!

“Gohogh!?”

The basic wind spell, Wind Ball, hit the boss square in the chest, sending him flying.

Boom!

“Gahgh!”

The boss’s body smashed into the hood of a car, shattering the glass and causing him to cough up blood on reflex. I walked slowly to him as he was in that condition.

“What… did you do?”

The boss looked at me with a face full of incomprehension.

Now it was my turn to grin.

“I used magic.”
