Chapter 311: Amphisbaena 1
Right on the next day, while it was still dawn, Riveria could feel a movement on her bed. She turned and saw Tsukasa sitting on the edge of the bed, drinking water, before slowly getting up to put on his clothes, but she moved fast and hugged his waist.
"Did you wake up?" Tsukasa was slightly surprised and looked at Riveria, who buried her face in his back.
"Um." Riveria only nodded. She was extremely drowsy since her stamina hadn't recovered, considering the tough fight she had gone through last night.
"Sorry to wake you up." Tsukasa gently caressed her hair as if she was the most precious thing in this world.
Riveria really loved this feeling. The feeling of being spoiled by her beloved was so addicting. "You're going out for training?"
"I plan to fight the Amphisbaena after all," Tsukasa said.
"It's dangerous, you know? Even if this monster matches a Level 5 adventurer, the guild set it a Level 6 due to it being on the water."
The power of the Amphisbaena might not be much different from a Level 5 adventurer, so it should be easy for him to defeat it, considering how Tsukasa had defeated many monsters comparable to a Level 5 adventurer. However, the terrain of his fight was different from the previous one since it was on the water. It might seem like a small thing, but fighting on the water was more difficult than one thought.
First, it would be hard to move, considering one might get slipped, making it hard to move. It also made one's body become heavy since the water became a resistance for one to move.
Second, the monster might be able to hide under the water, and it could run away when it was on the water, which made fighting Amphisbaena even harder.
Lastly, it was impossible for a human to breathe under the water unless they had magic or magic item.
Even if the "Lover" could heal him from various things and give him immunity from any abnormalities, it didn't give him the ability to breathe underwater.
Tsukasa even thought of getting a "Diving" ability for his development ability when he raised his level, but when he thought about the other amazing abilities, he decided it was better to keep "Diving" for later.
Still, Tsukasa understood Riveria's concern since if she asked the same thing, he would also feel worried about her and would come with her, so he knew she would be alright.
"You don't need to worry. I am not alone. Even if I can't win, at least I can run away."
Tsukasa wasn't alone in this fight since he also brought Ais with him.
After all, Ais had become a Level 6 adventurer, and with her wind magic, it was an easy thing for her to help him to run away.
As for others, Tsukasa didn't bring them since he wanted to do it fast before returning to the surface. If he brought his usual team, it would take a while for him to return, and instead of helping him, he was afraid they might become a burden for him. He knew it would be cruel for him to say this, but that was how the reality was.
After all, not everyone could be strong like Riveria, Finn, Gareth, Air, Tiona, Tione, and even Bete.
Many people died before they even became stronger.
"Okay, be careful. I believe you." Riveria stood up and kissed Tsukasa's forehead.
"......" Tsukasa looked at Riveria for a moment and realized what a wonderful woman she was.
'Unfortunately...'
Tsukasa shook his head and thought Riveria's luck wasn't bad since she met him as her other half.
In the end, they had fun for a while before Riveria helped him prepare.
However, even if Tsukasa decided to prepare, there wasn't much of anything he brought to this fight. He only brought a few items, potions, and many others to fight the Amphisbaena.
Ais was also the same since she didn't think the Amphisbaena could threaten Tsukasa as long as she was by his side.
After they ate breakfast, they decided to go out.
"I want to come too!" Tiona begged. After all, she was a Level 5 adventurer, and she could help in various situations.
However, Tsukasa rejected Tiona since he wanted to do it fast. He didn't want to waste time. Also, while it was cruel, he felt she would just cause him trouble.
Amphisbaena might only be comparable to a Level 5 adventurer, but even a Level 5 adventurer would be tough to fight it alone.
Tiona also wasn't a speed type of adventurer, so she might be left behind by either Tsukasa or Ais.
Anyway, Tsukasa had decided to bring Ais alone, but before they went out, Line brought something for two.
"Here's lunch for you two." Line brought the lunches that she had just cooked.
"Thanks, Line." Tsukasa just put a box of lunches in his bag while watching Line, who looked at him with her usual expression as if nothing happened between them yesterday. Still, this made him excited somehow and made him want to do something to her. He then moved his lips and said with a voice that could only be heard by Line. "Wait for me to go back."
"...." Line only stared at Tsukasa blankly, but her face turned slightly red.
"Hey, don't take too long! I have reserved the Hostess of Fertility to celebrate!" Loki, who rarely woke up in the morning, said lazily.
"Okay, okay. Just wait for us." Tsukasa then looked at Ais, who gave her a nod.
They nodded to each other before they dashed toward the 27th Floor of the dungeon. Their speed was so fast, and before long, they disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"......" Everyone.
Unlike Finn, Gareth, or Riveria, the rest felt pressure on them, especially the executives of the Loki Familia such as Bete, Tiona, or Tione.
On the other hand, the other core members such as Raul Nord, Anekitty Autumn, Narvi Roll, Cruz Buzzels, and the others who came earlier than Tsukasa knew he was going further, further that they wouldn't be able to see his back anymore. However, it didn't mean they had given up. On the contrary, they would still chase after him at their own pace since they knew it was impossible to match his pace.
They looked at each other, and there was a determination in their eyes.
'Let's work hard!'
While the members of the Loki Familia were full of fighting spirit, Ais followed Tsukasa from behind. She might be using all of her power to chase after him, but she must admit his movement technique was too fast!
Tsukasa was like blinking from one place to another, without any sound, quietly.
If Tsukasa didn't deliberately slow down, Ais knew she would lose him. However, she only smiled since the stronger he was, the happier she was, and she felt proud of him. Still, if possible, she also wanted to learn this movement technique from him.
When the two moved, the people around couldn't see anything, and before they reacted, they didn't see their figures. They kept moving with the shortest path and without fighting anything safely before they arrived at the 27th Floor, where the Amphisbaena was located.
Water City.
This place was full of water with a series of passageways varying in elevation around the waterfall.
Tsukasa and Ais stood on shore among the passageways. They waited for a while until they saw a shadow of something huge from the surface of the water.
The shadow slowly became bigger and loomed closer.
However, whether it was Tsukasa or Ais, they didn't feel nervous.
"Ais, don't help me. I'll fight it alone," Tsukasa said.
"I know." Ais nodded and stepped back, so she could let Tsukasa fight all of his might. She also wanted to observe him better since she knew every one of his fights could give her a deep insight.
Then, suddenly...
*BOOOOOOOOM!*
The booming sound was heard, water splashed everywhere, and a huge wave spread everywhere.
*RRRROOOOAAARRRR!!!*
The roar echoed through space.
Amphisbaena appeared!
