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

(This is ──)

Aisha heard it.

"[Its power, its vessels, countless treasures, and countless desires]"

Amidst the booming groans of the azure flames.

Only she, who had listened to the girl's "songs" more times than anyone else, picked up that bell-like, melodious sound.

"Enjoy your glory and fantasies until the bell tolls."

In the heart of the terrifying inferno.

Surrounded by azure flames that could reduce everything to ashes—Haruhime, seated on the ground, continued to sing.

"Black Giant Protective Suit (Goliath Robe)".

After pushing Lily and the others away, Haruhime covered herself with the flames just before being engulfed by the scorching blue flames and lay down on the ground.

This was the first and last time the "sorcerer," who couldn't fight, had a sudden flash of inspiration. His defenses were more than just simple strikes or slashes; they could withstand even lightning strikes and blizzards, making them as solid as an impenetrable wall. Even the floor master's torrent of flames couldn't burn them away.

(My body... feels like it's burning up.)

However, the deadly heat persists. The scorching world, burning both humans and monsters to ashes, is like hell.

Even though the robe could protect the wearer from the fire tattoos, the scorching heat that should not exist in the human world still came without mercy, slowly melting Chun Ji's consciousness like wax.

The flames danced and toyed with the surface of the protective suit (robe), and a waterfall of sweat cascaded down her fair skin.

Flames seemed poised to burst forth from her thin throat at any moment.

(—No, no! I'd rather burn to ashes! I'd rather turn to ash!)

even so.

The girl, kneeling with her protective suit over her head, continued singing with her eyes closed.

(As long as I can get this "song" out of the ashes—that's enough!)

Chunji poured her last remaining spiritual energy into it, weaving a melody for chanting.

He imagined her face, which must be waiting for Chun Ji to sing a song.

—All you need to do is sing.

Several years ago, during an expedition by the goddess of beauty's faction (Ishtar's family), "she" said this to Haruhime.

Despite her experience venturing into the "deep layers," Haruhime had hardly ever seen the underground city's landscape. This was because she was always kept in a sturdy cage and carried around by the Amazons.

That's the same as weapons or props.

They are taken out when needed and given to the fighting prostitutes to use at will.

In fact, they never asked Chun-hime to do more work than the props, nor did they have any requests.

—We don't expect you to do anything else, just focus on singing.

Faced with a battlefield littered with blood and flying pieces of flesh, Haruhime would only stand frozen in fear, tears welling in her eyes. It was already a feat to remain conscious and hold on.

The nobleman hiding behind the bamboo curtain could offer no help whatsoever in the cruel and vicious underground city.

So all she could do was sing. Urged to use the most powerful secret technique hidden within her, she could only vomit repeatedly while descending into madness, weaving poems with trembling lips.

—If your song is even a second late, one of us will be dead. That's how it is in the deep (here).

Too cruel.

Several strong female warriors had their limbs knocked away and fell one after another. Even the first-level adventurer (Friline) was vomiting blood and seriously injured.

She was forced onto the battlefield, powerless and helpless, and despite having no wishes, she was compelled to bear the responsibility for her life.

For a young woman unfamiliar with violence and cruelty, these scenes could only be described as a nightmare.

To say that Chunji never hated them would be a lie.

—Hey, I bet you hate us a lot.

—It's okay if you leave us to die.

Finally, "she"...

Aisha, half her body covered in blood, looked away and told her this nonchalantly.

"Aa ...

Enraged by the fact that Sakura had slashed off his right head with her ultimate move, "Amphispina" was furious.

As long as it retains a head, the two-headed dragon will not cease its activity. Now that the gravity barrier has been lifted, nothing can hold the floor master back. The left dragon's azure eyes are bloodshot, and its massive jaws are wide open, almost tearing its mouth apart.

An unprecedented intense blue light focused on its mouth.

It poured every last drop of the burnt-barbarian fluid from the "dragon liver" into it, preparing to unleash the genuine, final, and most powerful burnt-barbarian flames.

Welf and Daphne followed behind Cherry Blossom, attempting to cut off her other head, but it was too late.

The dragon's cannon fire speed increased, burning through the entire area of ​​the Great Hollow.

Lily and the others stood there blankly, seeing the light of destruction.

The symbol of destruction, which seemed to want to burn everything, scorched the adventurers' eyes.

then.

At that moment, Aisha was all alone...

In the extreme state where neither running nor singing could stop the dragon's powerful fire, she almost unconsciously, or perhaps as if guided, adopted a forward-leaning posture.

Aisha, like a black panther crouching and gathering its strength, chose the posture of "attack".

—I cannot stand by and watch someone die.

Chunji's reply to Aisha was a hoarse voice filled with tears.

That's because the weak and timid girl failed to be prepared and couldn't bear the burden of life.

It's because even though she only has a small amount of strength, even if she's all alone, there are still people on the battlefield she wants to help.

—I will sing until my soul is shattered.

So Chun-hime made an oath.

So Chun-hee sang it over and over again.

"【-Grow bigger】."

Therefore, the pace of this chanting increased day by day.

「!?」

The surge of "magic" astonished the dwarves.

The singing sent shivers down the spine of the healer who had performed "magic" many times.

The golden hammer that emerged from the very center of the sea of ​​fire filled the dragon's eyes with shock.

The accelerated incantation left Azure Flame's charge far behind.

"High-speed chanting".

This is the foundation of a mage, and also its secret.

The spell construction that chases the wind and lightning will rescue your companions from dire straits and bring the blessing of victory.

This is the distinct "skill" that Haruhime, who could only sing, honed.

It is the only skill that the "sorcerer" who has been ordered around the most times has mastered.

Having woven hundreds and thousands of incantations, Haruhime's chanting speed—this is the only thing that surpasses that of a "high-ranking mage".

"[This body that devoured divine food (the gods), this golden light bestowed upon the gods—]"

Chun Ji's song echoed across the battlefield.

She disregarded the safety concerns she should have been mindful of, prioritizing speed above all else, and disregarded the possibility of igniting a magical explosion (ignis fatuus) at any moment.

That's right, Chun-hime can only sing.

Since that's the case, she staked everything on sending her songs, woven faster than anything else, to the brave adventurers.

"May you be blessed, from the gavel to the earth!"

Chunji suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at the back of the female warrior standing in front of the Azure Flame Sea.

"Grow bigger...!"

All of a sudden.

Aisha leaned forward and started running without looking back.

"Give it to me! Haruhime────────────────────────────!!"

As the roar resounded, the handleless light hammer struck the Amazon.

"【The Magic Hammer】!"

The flashes of light were like arrows and shuttles, with countless particles of light dancing and tumbling.

The brown body, now imbued with the light of ascension, roared and abruptly accelerated to tear its limits.

It transforms into a golden arrow.

She kicked and stomped on the crystal floor as if it were sand, creating holes in the space filled with flying sparks, and charged toward the dragon that was accumulating a ball of azure fire.

"──────"

The two-headed dragon, who had been so enraged that it had lost its mind, realized its miscalculation.

During the preparation for the artillery barrage, the other head, which was originally responsible for engaging the enemy, had already separated. There was no one left to protect the remaining head.

Most importantly, the Amazon's terrifying running speed.

The time and distance that Lv.4 ability cannot match are overturned by the powerful sprint of Lv.5.

There were also many "roads".

A single road built on the lake, leading to the dragon.

That was the ice bridge created by the demonic sword "Ice Eagle," which shattered and scattered at the cost of the final blow.

"Oooooo ...

"Aa ...

The adventurer's roar overlapped with the dragon's cannon fire.

The breath, reaching its critical point, aimed to burn the great void to ashes along with the rapidly approaching female warrior; its power was about to be unleashed.

However, Aisha and Haruhime shone even brighter.

A flash.

Aisha leaped up, her afterimage flashing diagonally, and swiftly passed through the middle of the floor master's neck.

The huge dragon scales shattered and flew off, and its thick neck was deeply slashed.

Soon, the blue flames that had gathered inside his body through his neck and into his mouth erupted violently from the cut wound.

"~ ...

Just like a broken water pipe, the scorching flames spewed out, setting the entire dragon's body ablaze.

Amphispina, engulfed in its own flames, struggled in agony as if plunged into purgatory. Not only did its massive breath attack fail, but it was also exploited by its opponent to "accidentally explode"; even its gushing blood was charred, emitting a piercing scream.

"—Come forth, mighty overlord!"

Aisha did not stop her advance.

"[Brave warriors, mighty heroes, greedy and tyrannical valiant heroes!]"

As she landed on the ice floes of the lake, she sped off and slashed at "Amphispina" once more.

Aisha played a high-pitched "parallel chant" while simultaneously unleashing a rapid, turbulent surge of waves to block the escape route in the water.

"If you wish to obtain the Empress's (Queen's) Imperial Belt, then prove it. Satisfy me, pierce me, and annihilate me as proof!"

She kicked the tall ice pillars created by the aftershocks of "Ice Eagle," moving continuously and leaping back and forth with a speed that not only the floor master but also Welf and others could not see.

Accelerating so fast that her figure disappeared, the light particles of her level-up drew a trajectory, and she danced a battle dance worthy of the name [Antianeira].
