Tsurugi is still in the back, he monitors what will happen to the two partners who are in front.
"I don't like this place!" Tania murmured.
Seen from wherever that area does look scary, no one will want to assume this is a location that has a calm in it.
Lilia continued to shiver while holding a stick. "I hope that monster is not here!"
Tsurugi's eyes only glanced to the side, he remembered if he used to feel this usual.
Everything that happened at that time was only a memory and he no longer wanted to remember.
"Huh ... maybe I was thinking about it for too long!"
Joey stopped, and suddenly everyone became surprised.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Tania asked in a surprised tone.
"Shhh ... there's something ahead there!"
"Monster?"
"No, can be sure what is in front of there was something! However, the aura is very strange! "
Not long after a figure of the monster in question had come out, sharp teeth with a crawling body.
"This is called Kegure?" asked Lilia.
Tsurugi's eyes narrowed, the flow of energy in that monster's body was clearly seen.
"Tania ...."
"Okay ..." Tania put on a ready position to fight.
The opponent in front of them growled firmly, then quickly the other Kegures came out. There are so many in number with terrible manifestations.
"W-What's this? Why are their numbers so many? " Tania asked.
Those kegure attacked, first pounced towards Joey. However, Lilia issued Magic Arrow so that it stopped the monster movement.
The amount is too much that it will not make a profit, the battle then continues with every attack carried out by a brutal Kegure.
"Martial Art: Hyper Movement, Defend Guard, High Combat!" Joey has finished preparing himself, then he quickly lunged at the body of those monsters, and the attack used by Joey had a fairly large impact.
He was able to slash some of the Kegure quite well.
But, in the back there is one Kegure that perched, then that Kegure biting his shoulder.
Dash ...
Tania quickly hit that monster with her ability.
"Are you okay?" Tania who asked in a position ready to attack.
"Yes, I'm fine! What about other conditions? "
They turn back to each other.
"They are in the same bad condition as us!" However, Tania stared at something strange with Tsurugi that seemed not to provide significant resistance, but the movements used to avoid the attacks of the kegure were pretty good. "Can he really be reliable in this quest? Could he be just an amateur who can't do anything? "
Lilia fired her magic to help her two partners who were being beaten.
"Tsurugi, can you help others too, they are in bad condition!"
Tsurugi turned towards Joey and Tania who was indeed overwhelmed by the enemy. "I don't think it's no need to worry, they can still face these monsters!"
Lilia was silent, she did not understand what Tsurugi said, here who was clearly in a bad condition was himself. However, this calm attitude possessed by Tsurugi is very confusing.
After fighting for 20 minutes, they killed a lot of the kegures. This may be a beautiful victory, but for Tsurugi everything is not useful. Because, it is clear the situation remains in the monster environment.
Tania, Lilia, and Joey were surprised by Tsurugi's ability, they saw that Tsurugi only needed martial arts ability to defeat those enemies, just like Tania who was a fighter, but the attitude possessed by Tsurugi remained calm, he seemed to have no burden When using his abilities.
"Are you also a fighter?" Tania asked in a surprised tone.
Tsurugi did not instantly answer it, he looked at those three people. "I'm not sure, but this is one of my abilities!"
"Oh ... I think that you are a magic user!" Joey said in a relieved tone. "But, if you do have this ability, that means no longer need to be asked if you will be able to fight when there are monsters who attack again!"
Those three people put on a happy face, but for Tsurugi this does not need to be done. He already understands all this is a moment for bronze adventurers who will protect each other when in a state of pressure.
"Recovery!" Lilia gave treatment for two of her partners who were seen having experienced various kinds of wounds.
"Thank you, I can't understand why there are so many monsters in this cave!"
"Now what are we going to do? Will we keep stepping in or out of this cave? " Tsurugi asked in a serious tone.
"Hmm ..." Joey looked at the end of the hall. "I think that if we have to continue this, we might find something at the end of this hallway!"
"Yes, we will not be possible to leave this quest just like that, we must make sure that all this can be completed completely!" Tania continued.
Lilia looked at Tsurugi's face which looked serious with unpleasant eyes.
"Is there any problem?" Lilia asked in an innocent tone.
Tsurugi turned to Lilia. "No, I think you all can do it!" He could not tell his worry, and it was clear this would be proof that he was a coward man.
Joey stood up while saying, "Alright, now let's do this trip back, I don't want to see any nightmares, let's finish and return to the guild for a break!"
His two friends became happy with those words, but not with Tsurugi who thought this would be too dangerous, but he would not speak anything, everything was still under the control of those three people. He can only follow what they want.
Starting they three stepped back, the dark alley they were passing by really did not give a feeling of comfort.
This atmosphere ended with a greater horror after seeing an area with so many holes.
"What's this?" asked Joey.
They cannot quickly enter that area for safety, it will be very stupid if they enter it without any preparation, and here they just want to see what will happen with those holes.
"Is this an area to indicate the place of the Kegure?" Tania asked with a worried face.
"I don't know, but here it seems to be a nest of monsters!" Joey replied.
