Chapter 102: Not a Single Character Matched!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Haa… Haa… Haa… Ugh… My leg…”

Ryuuga Takahashi, who had fallen into the moat, somehow managed to swim to shore, but his leg had almost completely stopped moving. He had been bitten by the tail of the boss-level serpent, and it had likely crushed his bones.

〈That looks painful…〉

〈At least there doesn’t seem to be any poison?〉

〈I can’t believe he swam with that leg.〉

〈He’s gotta drink a potion, fast!〉

Even before the viewers pointed it out, he was already trying to heal himself with a potion.

But before he could, a shadow of a monster loomed over him.

“GURUAAAAAAH!”

〈A monster!?〉

〈Why now of all times!?〉

〈He can’t run with that leg!!〉

〈And his sword’s gone too!〉

Just as many viewers braced themselves for a tragic outcome and averted their eyes, it happened. A glowing arrow descended from the sky and pierced the monster of the deep right through the skull.

Thud.

With a single strike, the monster dropped dead on the spot.

〈He-He’s saved…?〉

〈What was that?〉

〈Did someone help him?〉

〈Wait, up above!〉

“Th-that’s…”

While healing his wounds with the potion, Ryuuga looked up and noticed a massive shadow soaring calmly through the sky. Its size rivaled that of Cerberus, the boss of the deep levels.

〈A dragon!?〉

〈And it’s huge!〉

〈Is that another deep-level monster!?〉

〈No, wait… Is someone riding it?〉

Just then, countless glowing arrows rained down from atop the dragon, striking the monsters flooding out of the dungeon one after another. Nearly all hit their targets, and each arrow took down a deep-level monster in a single shot.

〈What kind of firepower is that!?〉

〈These glowing arrows… Don’t tell me…!〉

〈I’ve heard of this… Japan’s strongest S-Rank explorer is an archer〉

〈The great start from Hokkaido… The name is〉

〈Hiroshi Koizumi!?〉

〈As if! LOLLLL〉

〈Close, but no!〉

〈What part of that was close? Not a single character matched!〉

〈It’s not even the right gender lol〉

〈It’s Seia Jinguji!〉

A woman jumped from atop the dragon. As she descended toward the observation tower built near Goryōkaku Park, she drew a massive bow in her hand. An arrow of light, far thicker than the previous ones, shot out and pierced through the massive body of the dungeon boss, Cerberus.

“““~~~~~~~~~!?”””

〈It’s super effective!?〉

〈That’s the boss from the 40th basement floor!〉

〈As expected of Seia Jinguji! Japan’s strongest isn’t just a title for her!〉

〈She even cleared a Class 10 dungeon with ease.〉

〈Rumor has it she has reached the abyss level.〉

Then the dragon hovering in the sky unleashed a ferocious breath attack at Cerberus. A breath of intense ice and wind. In an instant, Cerberus’s massive body began to freeze over.

〈Then that dragon must be…〉

〈Probably one of Seia Jinguji’s tamed beasts〉

〈It must be Moka Sakura’s, right?〉

〈She’s also S-Rank, right?〉

〈A party with two S-Rankers is totally OP. 〉

〈They like to explore the Shiretoko Dungeon together, but she must’ve flown in from there〉

“““WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!”””

〈As expected of the boss, it smashed through the ice by force!〉

〈But another glowing arrow hit!〉

〈This time it hit one of the heads directly!〉

〈Whoa, the head got blown clean off.〉

〈No mercy whatsoever.〉

Arrows fired from the observation tower continued to deal devastating damage to Cerberus. Of course, the deep-level boss didn’t just take it lying down. It moved to eliminate the sniper, but just as it did, another breath attack from above struck. Then, while it was temporarily frozen again, another glowing arrow landed a hit.

〈Total lockdown.〉

〈The boss doesn’t stand a chance.〉

〈Can’t believe the floor 40 boss is getting taken out this easily…〉

〈Yeah, those who’ve reached the abyss level are just on another level〉

Eventually, Cerberus, unable to withstand any more damage, let out a dying howl and collapsed to the ground.

“S-So that’s the S-Rank explorer known as Japan’s strongest, Seia Jinguji… Hahaha… I didn’t realize she was this ridiculously powerful…”

〈Ryuuga-chan’s laughing now too〉

〈I mean, what else can you do?〉

〈She practically soloed the deep-level boss.〉

〈We’re lucky she’s based in Hokkaidō.〉

〈For real.〉

〈But even though the boss is down, monsters are still pouring out, right?〉

At that moment, the dragon descended to the ground, landing near the frontline set up by the explorers.

“Bururururu!”

“Yeah, yeah, you did great! You flew here at full speed and kept using breath attacks! You must be tired, huh? Go ahead and rest a bit!”

As she praised the dragon, the girl who had been riding it slid down from its back.

〈Wait, she’s kinda cute.〉

〈She looks lively and energetic.〉

〈Totally not the image you’d expect from a dragon knight lol〉

〈Seriously lol〉

“I flew all the way from Shiretoko, but I’m so glad I made it in time! Oh! My name’s Moka Sakura! And this here is my Glacial Dragon, Doranko!”

〈What a name lol〉

〈Is that a pun on Dosanko? (a breed of horse native to Hokkaido)〉

〈Dosanko → Doranko〉

〈Well, people say all S-Rankers are weirdos anyway.〉

〈There’s no way…. I mean, true.〉

〈It’s totally true.〉

〈Yeah, for sure.〉

“And that girl on top of the tower is Seia Jinguji-chan! She’s super good at large-scale wipeouts like this, so just trust her and do your best! …Well, it’s gonna be a really long battle though, since we have to wait for all the deep-level monsters to come out.”

〈Oh, she’s waving!〉

〈Think she can hear us?〉

〈Maybe she’s using an item to communicate?〉

〈Either way, we’re totally set now.〉

〈More reinforcements will probably show up too—yeah, this is a win! Gahaha!〉

Even as deep-level monsters continued to crawl out of the dungeon nonstop, Seia Jinguji’s glowing arrows struck true and took them down one after another. Only when a monster wasn’t finished in one hit did the explorers step in to finish the job.

It seemed like the situation would stabilize from there on out… But then…

“What the? The glowing arrows stopped…?”

“Huh? Seia-chan? What’s wrong? …Seia-chan!?”

The abnormality occurred just past 8 AM.
