Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

"【Divine Martial Conquest】".

The incantation rang out clearly.

"────"

"────"

That is poetry that can never be heard.

It was a welcoming sound that rang out in the water, then turned into bubbles and disappeared—a sound that should never have been heard.

But they did hear it.

Both the adventurers and the dragon sensed the sound.

The "light band" illuminating the water's surface transformed into "concentric circles," trapping the dragon within them.

The "radiance" that appeared out of nowhere transformed into a "deep purple lightsaber," reigning supreme over everyone.

The two-headed dragon, overly wary of the "Demon Sword," has deployed its red mist breath as a "shield" in front of it.

At this moment, its dragon body does not possess the "armor" of mist.

Just as the "Demon Sword" shattered and the "Red Mist" vanished...

She roared:

"【Futsu-no-Mitama】!!"

○

The shimmering water, like a fragment of a fantasy, reflects the scene from just a few minutes ago.

"【Calling upon the name of the Supreme One... I am filled with trepidation...】"

The girl screamed in pain as the fangs pierced deep into her shoulder.

The girl, whose left arm had been bitten off, was crying loudly in pain.

The girl's right leg, which could break off at any moment, was screaming in despair.

The wound is deep and bleeding profusely. The patient is confused and disoriented.

Having been bitten by a monster and sunk to the bottom of the water, it was no longer able to fight.

So she wove "prayer".

"【Invincible, unconquerable... We, the Martial Gods (deities)... noble, guided by the Nine Heavens... bestow upon this humble body... the divine power of your majestic and noble form...】"

As her consciousness sank into darkness along with her body, she stammered out broken, fragmented sounds.

There was only one thing on his mind: his comrades-in-arms who never left his thoughts.

"【Save us, light of purification... vanquish evil, blade...】"

They sang songs of exorcism to dispel evil and bring forth light.

"[Sweep away, scabbard of pacification... spirit sword of conquest...]"

This summons a toxin called "Despair," leading everyone to the victorious Martial God's Spirit Sword.

She sang to give her comrades this strength.

"[Now, here... I summon by my own life...]"

at this time.

"Fate──────! 』

She seemed to hear a shout rippling across the water—the sound of cherry blossoms calling her name.

Immediately afterwards, the field of vision burned to white-hot.

We haven't given up yet!

They haven't given up yet!!

Neither I nor he have given up!

That warrior who always fought bravely!

That brave warrior who always protects his comrades and has fought tenaciously to this day!

Not yet! Not yet!!

She gritted her teeth.

With his only free right hand, he clenched his fist with the last of his strength.

"[Descending from the heavens, unifying the earth...]!"

His eyes widened in shock, but then they regained their brilliance, and he bravely exhaled bubbles.

A confused mind is unable to control this attack.

It is impossible to visually determine the enemy's location while underwater.

However, if it's that huge figure floating right in front of your line of sight, if it's directly above you...

That would mean getting caught up in the attack.

"【Divine Martial Conquest】──"

Concentric circles appeared at the bottom of the water.

The overflowing "magic" alarmed a swarm of giant fish (monsters).

Facing the "lightsword" that appeared across the water, life roared:

"【Futsu-no-Mitama】!!"

The deep purple sword, bearing the imperial decree, pierced through the floor master, causing the "Gravity Barrier" to manifest in the world.

"~ ...

A terrifying force pressed down on "Amphispina".

Once it fails to detect the "underwater chant," it has no way to avoid the direct attack. And its dragon body, having lost its red mist "armor," is completely unable to withstand the heavy pressure magic (Futsu-no-Mitama).

The immense weight, enough to crush dragon scales, pressed down on them, slamming their necks against the water's surface.

What's frightening is that, exposed to the abnormal gravity, even the center of the lake has developed a strange depression.

"Guh...uh...uh...ahh ...

The person who cast the "magic" directly below the floor master also suffered a baptism of gravity, and their body was gradually crushed.

Large amounts of foam kept overflowing from between the clenched teeth.

Before the giant monster falls, the tiny human's body will gradually decay first.

(—We can't win.)

The viewpoint seemed to be erased and gradually sunken.

*Snap!* The delicate finger snapped in two.

His internal organs were twisted and deformed, and blood mist overflowed from between his lips.

But fate simply refused to lift the "spell."

(We must risk our lives, otherwise—we can't win!)

The girl roared in realization, burning her own life force.

His body was slammed down by the terrifying pressure and fell to the bottom of the water, where countless cracks appeared.

The affected groups of "surprise fish" were squeezed hard, their eyeballs popped out of their sockets, and their bodies made a chilling sound as they were crushed.

Just as a giant fish was stripped of its right shoulder, Ming, while resisting gravity, reached his hand towards the water's surface in an attempt to secure victory.

"Roar!?"

Don't even think about escaping, I will never let you get away!

With bloodshot eyes, he fixed his gaze on the enemy's body—before the swaying water.

I trust my comrades who are staying in the water park.

He was thinking of calling out to his fellow disciple from the Martial God Sect.

"Ugh ugh ...

gallop.

Cherry blossoms shattered the crystal and stepped into the purple barrier that expanded from the center of the great void.

"Life! Don't let go! Aa ...

The cherry blossom leaped and landed on the remains of tree roots.

After repeated attacks, the tree's dome has become dilapidated and is now a labyrinth of flames, its thick, intertwined roots consumed by the spreading, raging fire.

But the cherry blossoms did not stop or hesitate. Despite being surrounded by a large number of sparks, they rushed forward in the hollow corridor.

He sped along—and leaped—on the only surviving tree root, on the only path.

Under the astonished gazes of Welf and the others, he raised his great axe high above his head and jumped into the unfolded "gravity barrier".

"Ugh—Ooh o ...

His vision suddenly sank, and a terrifying pressure slammed him off Cherry Blossom's back.

He descended rapidly from directly above the dragon imprisoned by the barrier, experiencing the same gravity.

Even after "leveling up", Sakura's attack was still not enough to take the head of "Amphispina".

Since that's the case—I'll borrow the girl's "pressure magic (power)" again and transform myself into a "guillotine".

"!!"

Just before he was about to unleash that "strike".

Sakura's consciousness flew to the past.

Before the expedition, it wasn't just Mikoto or Chigusa who received "techniques" from Takemikazuchi.

Sakura also sought a "killer move" to match the "Royal Gang" that she bought from the master blacksmith (Welf) even at the cost of going into debt.

In the dim light before dawn, cherry blossoms lay spread out in a starfish shape in the spacious courtyard.

Before the cherry blossoms, who were exhausted both physically and mentally, the martial god who taught him "techniques" had told him.

This move, though simple, is the ultimate.

It requires pouring every ounce of power from its imposing and massive body into it; this is a powerful move that only Sakura can accomplish.

He said that if used at the right time and with the right breathing, it can become the "fang of the dragon slayer."

That god of martial arts did indeed say that.

Twist your upper body half a circle to create a vortex effect.

Even under the pressure of gravity, he still exhaled flames from the depths of his lungs instead of sparks.

Facing the approaching dragon head, which resembled fangs that could devour everything, Sakura unleashed her ultimate attack.

"Tiger Devour!!"

Cut off.

"──────Gaga!?"

A burst of silver light flashed across the floor master, piercing through the dragon scales and slicing through the flesh.

The flower of blood and foam blooms in full glory.

The red-eyed right side of the head detached from the neck.

Almost simultaneously, the gravity barrier was also dispelled, as if it had exhausted all its strength.

"Roar!?"

The adventurer plummeted downwards, the dragon's face rolled back its eyes, and a massive column of water shot up from the ground.

The paired heads were severed, and the left dragon head cried out.
