My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

Chapter 38 I’ll take it.

The skill points obtained from defeating a single Golden Living Armor in the golden room have a difference of ten times compared to regular monsters. This means that in this hidden room, I can grow ten times faster.

With a clattering sound, the golden living armors move towards me, making their approach.

“Puppeteer, please.”

“Of course!”

The puppeteer responds with a high-pitched voice.

“Puppetry Sword Technique – Swift Dragon Thrust.”

The unique ability of the 〈Pulsating Greatsword〉 is called “Autonomous Function.” It allows the greatsword to move itself, pulling me along. Thanks to this ability, even though it’s too heavy to swing on my own, the sword can move itself, making fighting much easier.

When I think back to the time when the puppeteer took control of me, it had been pulling my body all over the place. Given that, it seems only natural to have this unique ability.

The “Swift Dragon Thrust” is a powerful forward charge attack. The golden living armors in its path are cut in half and meet their demise.

“Well done, master.”

“Yeah, you too.”

It’s not a bad feeling. With this power, I might actually stand a chance.

“Kugooooooo!!”

Suddenly, an unfamiliar roar echoed.

“There it is. This is the real deal in this room, master,” the puppeteer mutters.

In front of us stands a creature we’ve never seen before. It must have appeared through the teleportation array.

“The Driven Living Knight, a SSS-rank monster.”

It’s a creature with an especially large suit of armor mounted on a horse. It wields an enormous lance.

It seems like the Driven Living Knight is the boss of this room.

“Can we defeat it?”

“That depends on you, master,” the puppeteer replies, and I nod in agreement. Then, I tighten my grip on the hilt of the 〈Pulsating Greatsword〉.

“Puppet Sword Technique, Wind Slasher Scythe!”

I sweep the 〈Pulsating Greatsword〉 horizontally, destroying numerous Golden Living Armor in front of me.

“Master, enemies are coming from behind.”

“Got it!”

My puppeteer, who seems capable of assessing the surrounding situation, informs me. In response, I swing the greatsword vigorously.

The fierce battle with the Golden Living Armor continues. With the power of my level 2 puppeteer, level 3 〈Swordsmanship〉 skill, and my own ability to predict the movements of monsters, it feels like there’s no enemy we can’t defeat.

“There’s only you left.”

In front of me, countless carcasses of Golden Living Armor are strewn about. Further inside, the boss of this room, the Driven Living Knight, stands before us. I leap high into the air, raising the 〈Pulsating Greatsword〉 high.

“Puppet Sword Technique, Grand Wheel Slash!”

I rotate in mid-air and use the momentum to slam down into the ground.

Crunch, the Driven Living Knight, is crushed as if it were squashed.

I notice a message that says:

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Confirmed the defeat of the monsters.

You’ve gained skill points.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

“Did you defeat them…”

I’m actually puzzled by how easily I defeated them.

“Good job! Master!! Hey, does this mean you’ve accumulated enough skill points to level me up to level 3!?”

“Yeah, that might be the case…”

Returning to reality with Puppeteer’s words, I open the status screen to check my skill points.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Current Skill Points: 1320

<Provocation Level 1> Remaining Skill Points required for leveling up: 10

<Swordsmaship Level 3> Remaining Skill Points required for leveling up: 3000

<Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master Level 2> Remaining Skill Points required for leveling up: 700

It’s sufficient to level up <Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master> to Level 3.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

Since there’s no need to hold back, I’ll level up right away.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Skill points have been used.

The necessary conditions for leveling up have been achieved.

The skill <Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master> has leveled up.

Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master Level 2 ▶ Parasitic Sword Puppeteer Master Level 3

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

“Now, I can evolve even further!”

< Pulsating Great Sword> began to emit even more light.

I see, when I reached Level 2, I acquired a derived skill called < Pulsating Great Sword>. So, now that I’ve reached Level 3, it seems I’ll gain a new skill as well.

I wonder what kind of derived skill I’ll get. It’s something to look forward to.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Acquired the derived skill <Ruthless Predator >.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

“Ruthless Predator “? I can’t quite imagine what kind of skill that is from the name alone.

“Here it is, this! This form is what I’ve been looking for!”

While shouting this, Puppeteer tried to change its form. It gradually grew larger and became even bulkier.

“What is that form…?”

I was puzzled because Level 3 Puppeteer had an appearance that was far from suitable to be called a weapon.

A huge creature with a large jaw. Would that be the most fitting description?

However, even the term “creature” didn’t quite fit. It had no limbs, no body, and no eyes or nose. It only had a large jaw as its semblance of a creature-like feature.

So, calling it a “creature” felt too incomplete.

It was as if it was created solely for the purpose of eating…

Ah, that’s why it’s called a predator.

I recall that the presence in front of me bears the name <Ruthless Predator>.

“Hey, Puppeteer. With that form, what can you actually do?”

“That’s, of course, to eat.”

Puppeteer moved its massive jaw and spoke.

Well, it was expected that its purpose was to eat, but I couldn’t imagine at all how it would use that to fight.

“Well, here we go!”

Suddenly, Puppeteer said this.

“Hey, what are you talking abou—”

I couldn’t finish my sentence.

That’s because my body had just been devoured by <Ruthless Predator>.

The massive jaws of <Ruthless Predator> crushed my body into pieces.

“Thank you, Master. With this, I can finally become human.”

When I heard those words, my consciousness had already disappeared.

◆

Chapter 39 There’s no need to get it.

“…Huh?”

I wake up.

How did I die again?

Oh, right, I was eaten by Puppeteer. Remembering that, a feeling of helplessness washes over my entire body.

What should I have done…?

I need to become much stronger than I am now to escape this dungeon and exact my revenge.

“There’s no need to acquire Puppeteer.”

Puppeteer is just one means for me to become stronger.

But it’s pointless if it ends with Puppeteer eating me.

So, I should look for a way to become stronger without using Puppeteer.

With this determination, I start to move.

First, I head to the hidden room where the <Crystal of Wisdom> is located.

I mustn’t be spotted by the numerous monsters along the way. If I’m found, I would be easily killed in my current state.

Nevertheless, thanks to repeating this action many times, I’m able to smoothly proceed.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Choose ‘one’ skill you want to acquire from the following list:

S Rank: <Inventory Box> <Enhanced Healing> <Enhanced Mana Recovery> <Intimidation> <Anticipation>

A Rank: <Healing Magic> <Fire Magic> <Water Magic> <Wind Magic> <Earth Magic> <Lightning Magic> <Alchemy> <Curse Magic> <Telepathy> <Enhancement Magic>

B Rank: <Swordsmanship> <Archery> <Axemanship> <Lancesmanship>

C Rank: <Physical Enhancement> <Sensory Perception> <Mana Generation> <Fire Resistance> <Water Resistance> <Wind Resistance> <Earth Resistance> <Sharpness Enhancement> <Accuracy Enhancement> <Evasion Enhancement> <Night Vision>

D Rank: <Appraisal> <Strength Enhancement> <Durability Enhancement> <Agility Enhancement> <Endurance Enhancement>

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

Using the <Crystal of Wisdom> will allow you to see a list of available skills.

As usual, I consider selecting <Swordsmanship>, but…

“Hmm, wait a minute. Should I really choose <Swordsmanship>?”

I paused.

I had always chosen <Swordsmanship> because of the presence of Parasitic Sword Puppeteer.

When I used Puppeteer to fight, it was natural to choose <Swordsmanship>, which was compatible with it.

But this time, I had no intention of acquiring Puppeteer.

In that case, I would be fighting without a sword. So, it would be better to choose <Body Techniques>, which was well-suited for combat when unarmed.

Because, other than Puppeteer, there was no other way to obtain a weapon…

“Well, if I think about it carefully, there are actually many chances to acquire weapons, aren’t there?”

So, I chose <Swordsmanship>.

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Obtained skill <Swordsmanship>.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

As usual, I would have gone on to retrieve Puppeteer, defeat several monsters, and level up <Swordsmanship> to Level 2. But this time, I decided not to retrieve Puppeteer. Since it would be tough to defeat monsters without it and with <Swordsmanship> at Level 1, I also gave up on leveling it up to Level 2.

So, with <Swordsmanship> at Level 1, I headed to the hidden room with the Golden Living Armor.

“Hey, you weaklings, come at me!”

I use <Provocation> on the Golden Living Armor.

Then, I skillfully evade attacks to incite infighting among them.

Crash! One of the Golden Living Armor, forcefully struck its sword against another Golden Living Armor, causing it to fall and struggle to get back up.

In that moment, I seized the sword from the fallen Golden Living Armor.

“Come to think of it, I can easily acquire swords from these guys.”

The method to acquire swords was to take them from the Golden Living Armor.

As long as I could equip a sword, activating the <Swordsmanship> skill would make battles much easier. That’s what I was thinking at this moment.

“Still, it’s a tough fight!”

While I had expected things to be challenging to some extent, I never imagined it would be this difficult.

Between Puppeteer and the sword from the Golden Living Armor, Puppeteer was significantly more powerful.

However, there was no point in complaining. Now that I couldn’t use Puppeteer, I had no choice but to fight with this sword.

As I strained in the next moment…

“Ah!”

My back was suddenly slashed from behind.

I felt the pain and simultaneously lost consciousness.

◆

On approximately the 560th attempt, I challenged the room with the Golden Living Armor without using Puppeteer, over and over again.

“…It’s impossible.”

And after experiencing death for what felt like the umpteenth time, I finally let out a sound.

I could somehow defeat up to five of the Golden Living Armor.

However, with this method, I honestly couldn’t see a way to defeat all twenty of the Golden Living Armor and the Driven Living Knight.

“Maybe I really have no choice but to use Puppeteer…”

But using it would mean being eaten… No, wait.

I was eaten by Puppeteer because I reached Level 3 and acquired the derived skill <Ruthless Predator>, which transformed it into a monstrous creature with a massive jaw.

“In that case, what if I deliberately stop at Level 2?”

Allocating skill points was done according to my will. So, I could choose not to reach Level 3.

Moreover, the derived skill < Pulsating Great Sword> of a Level 2 Puppeteer was very useful. It would undoubtedly provide more than enough combat power even at Level 2.

Therefore, there was no need to unnecessarily push it to the dangerous Level 3.

“Let’s give it a try…”

With that decision, I headed to the location where Parasitic Sword Puppeteer was kept.
