Dungeon 8:Undead guardian

Right after Kazuo woke up,


I went towards him and shouted,


“Do you want me to die!?”


“What are you talking about?”


“I heard from Sendou-kun that you have requested for an ‘Undead guardian” for me to fight!”


“Oh that, I heard some people say that you cheated on your first match, so I requested it to prove them wrong.”


“Kazuo, you really think i can take down an undead guardian?”


“Maybe.”


“What if Iwin.”


“If Nii-san could actually defeat it,then i’ll buy you anything you want.”


“Anything?”


“Yes, anything.”


This is good,


If I can win against the undead guardian,


I could get a soulbond weapon,


If you don’t know why I need a soulbound weapon,


It’s because of my ‘Spectre wield’ ability,


Which allows me to wield two soulbond weapons without using my hand.


-Coliseum-


We reached the venue for the match,


But it looks like the whole school is already here.


“What kind of exhibition match is this,there’s only people from the school!”


“Ah, Souta-kun, you finally woke up. Sorry about the small audience, since we wouldn’t want any people outside school to know of our student's capabilities.”


“Huh, can I start the fight now?”


“Sure.”


I went inside the coliseum,


And just as I took a step inside,


A giant skeleton, wearing a suit of armour, holding a sword and a shield,


Stood in front of me.


“Gruuu!”


Alright,calm down.


I placed my hand in one of the space-time circles,


And took out the scythe.


“Wait,when did Nii-san have a weapon?”


“The weapon’s the thing you are surprised about? How about that weird floating circles?”


“That too. Now I’m curious as to when did he obtain those two things.”


“Tomoya, Rin, you think you guys could help me?”


After waiting for a few moments, I got no response from them.


“Fine,I’ll do it alone.”


The guardian swings it’s sword towards me,


I barely dodged it by jumping,


Just as I was about to jump, the guardian uses his shield a bash me into the wall.


“Guh!”


‘Yo,it’s me again.’


‘Your back.’


‘Yes I am, and I am going to help you again.’


‘No, I want to do this myself.’


I stood up,


Holding the scythe in hand,


Thinking about what to do.


I do not have anything that is long range.


And it's hard to get close to it.


‘Let me give you a tip.’


‘What’s your tip?’


‘Concentrate on pouring mana, just about 50 would be enough, into the scythe.’


I did as he told,


I concentrated and poured mana into the scythe,


While doing it, I could feel the scythe getting stronger.


‘What do I do now?’


‘Swing the scythe and shout ‘Ge*s*g* T*n**o!’’


‘So it worked just like a ‘**t*u*a *e*sh*.


‘Yes.’


I swung the scythe towards the guardian,


But instead of shouting ‘G**s**a t**s**u’,


I shouted something different,


“Spectre Magic: Phantom Slash!”


As I shouted,the guardian used it’s shield to protect himself.


But the slash cuts the shield into half.


“Spectre magic?! Why does Nii-san have another magic type?”


“Wow!”


“What the!”


I can hear a lot of voices coming from the audience,


I have just made myself stand out even more.


‘Now, concentrate, pour even more mana into the scythe.”


I did as he said and poured even more mana than before,


‘Concentrate, imagine the scythe having additional blades at each sides.’


I concentrated, and did what he said,


And imagined the scythe having more blades.


As I was concentrating, the guardian stabbed it’s sword onto the ground,


Causing a shockwave,


I lost concentration as I needed to balance myself.


The guardian then grab me,


I was thrown to the other side of the coliseum


When I dropped to the floor,


The guardian took his sword and swings it at me.


I blocked it with the scythe,


And with no time to rest, the guardian kept on attacking.


After a while, I started feeling tired.


I could barely block the sword.


“So-Souta-san!”


I heard a voice,


I somehow managed to slip past the guardian and turn around.


And saw Megumi shouting at me.


“So-Souta-san, i-If you can win,le-let’s go on a da-date!”


“Wait,what are you saying Megumi-chan!”


“A-Alice-chan, I wanted to motivate Souta-san a little.”


“If I win can we have a double date with Kazuo and Alice?”


“Su-sure!”


“Wa-wait! I have yet to say anything!!”


“Come on, you do want to have a date with Kazuo too, right?”


“Nii-san stop talking and continue the fight!”


“Do we really need to shout, we are only a few metres away!”


“Why not, it’s always like this in most animes!”


Getting back to the fight,


I needed a way to stop the guardian’s movement.


‘Souta, place your hand out and concentrate on creating a space-time ball using mana.’


‘Just like a R*s*n*a*?’


‘Yes,just like a *a*e*g*n.’


I did as he told and created a small space-time ball.


‘Now, wait for it to come charging at you and when it does, hit it with the ball.’


Just as he said,


The guardian came charging towards me,


As he got closer to me, I fired the ball towards him.


“Space-Time Magic: Time/Space Binding Ball!”


But it did no damage to him,


Instead, I was the one that got hurt.”


“Ah, it did nothing at all!”


‘No, look.’


I looked at the guardian,and for some reason,


It stopped, it wasn’t moving.


‘What happened?’


‘You were the one who made the name and yet you don’t even know its effects...,’


Oh yeah, that attack just made him unable to move.


‘You’d better hurry, that thing’s gonna be able to move after one minute.’


I concentrated on pouring mana into the scythe,


And imagined it to have additional blades on each side.


As I did it, I ran towards the guardian and released the mana from the scythe,


“Spectre creation Magic:Triple Phantom!”


Creating one additional blade at each side,


I went to slash the guardian,


Slicing the armour off,revealing a giant skeleton,


I slash it again into multiple pieces


“Ha,ha,ha,we did it.”


‘We sure did.’


‘How did you know what to do?’


‘Easy,cause i’m a genius.’


“Hahaha, well done, as expected from students that are entrusted with killing the demon lord.”


I turned around and saw the principal,


Ciel Devilmon,


“What do you mean?”


“Oh, you weren’t in class this past few days, so do let your brother to explain it to you.”


“Well, the soul of the demon lord inside the dungeon of this school is at the 444th level.”


“Oh ok, that’s what I had expected anyways.”


“Souta-san, how are you not surprised?”


“Let me tell you something, Megumi-chan, the more anime you watch, the more obvious everything will be.”


*Don’t follow Souta’s example*


“Now, let’s go for our date!”



(After the next chapter, we will start with the first dungeon raid.)
