Chapter 32: Chapter 31 - War Shadow.
After writing three pages, I finally finished. Lili had finished eating long ago and was reading everything I was writing, clearly entertained by the story.
My memory is excellent, but I want to know if I will be able to write everything.
Re: Zero is a somewhat complex story; some parts are difficult to remember, so I must be careful when writing.
If I forget something, I'll create something original. Since I have written some stories before, I can manage.
"Ah, you're done already? I was enjoying reading this," Lili said, disappointed. I smiled at her and replied.
"When we stop to rest again, I'll continue writing, and you can read more, okay? But we must keep moving; we can't stay on the 4th floor for too long. How long have we been here?"
"I don't know, maybe two hours?"
"Two hours?! Damn, writing by hand takes a long time." It's because I was cautious about not making mistakes. If I made a mistake, I would have to tear up the entire page and start over.
These are the moments I miss my computer. Please, God, let me use my computer! You don't need to give me internet... I want to write and print!
I'm sure God won't listen to me, but it doesn't hurt to try.
So, with Lili walking behind me, we moved forward.
We passed the fifth floor without issues and finally reached the sixth floor. Things would get a bit complicated here because of a monster called the "War Shadow." If I remember correctly, it's the strongest monster on this floor.
There shouldn't be many, but I must be careful.
"Lili, stay close to me, okay?"
"Sure."
With my perception, I focused on my surroundings. I took slow, silent steps while Lili walked right behind me. We continued like this for five minutes. It seemed like an eternity.
Maybe because of the atmosphere.
'Am I scared? Because there are stronger monsters here? No, impossible, I'm strong enough to handle them, right?'
Then, I finally detected something. It was a single presence not far from us. I stopped walking and turned to Lili. "There's a monster nearby, stay behind me, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll stay close to you."
Despite my nervousness, Lili seemed very relaxed. That was enough to calm me down as well. I sighed and gripped the hilt of my sword tightly, moving towards the monster.
To my disappointment or relief, it wasn't a War Shadow but a Frog Shooter. 'I couldn't tell since I can't differentiate their strength by presence. My perception needs to be better.'
Well, let's kill this monster quickly.
Three small fireballs appeared before me and flew towards the frog at high speed, causing large explosions on its body, almost killing it.
But it didn't die.
The frog was blinded and couldn't react to my blade that slashed through its vulnerable neck. SLASH~~ My sword cut through its neck like butter, and its body exploded into particles.
I didn't receive an item, just a magic stone.
'I don't even remember if this monster drops any items.'
"Are you okay?" Lili approached.
"Yes, I thought it was a War Shadow, but it was a frog. It was easy to kill."
"I see. Are you afraid of encountering a War Shadow? I think you're strong enough to handle one."
"I've never encountered one, so I'm a bit nervous. But I'm calmer thanks to you." I handed the magic stone to Lili.
"Because of me? But I didn't do anything."
"You don't seem scared, and that makes me calmer."
"..." Lili tilted her head, confused. "I don't know why it calms you, but I guess it's fine." She smiled and put the magic stone in her large bag, where all the others were.
After killing a few more frogs and other monsters, I finally encountered the enemy I feared fighting: a War Shadow.

When I saw it for the first time, I immediately noticed it was more bizarre than expected. It was bigger than a goblin, and its arms were long. It had three blades at the end of each arm.
I immediately realized it would be very dangerous if those claws hit me.
Then, I did the same thing I did with the frog. I used fire magic and shot it in its direction.
WOOSH~~
Leaving a fire trail, my magic crossed the dungeon corridor and hit it directly. Or so I thought. Before I realized it, the War Shadow was already very close to me.
I blocked its blade with my sword and repelled it.
I started swinging my sword rapidly, using all my speed. The War Shadow tried to block all the attacks but couldn't. I managed to wound it, and it backed off.
However, all this time, I had been preparing a spell.
"Take this."
A large fire arrow was created and launched. The War Shadow reacted and swung its blades, cutting the fire arrow in half, but the tip of the arrow still hit it.
But it was a superficial wound.
Then, I created a dark barrier with Dark Magic and sent it towards the War Shadow.
In pain from the burning in its chest, the War Shadow became desperate because it couldn't tell where I was coming from since everything was dark. It thrust its claws into my magic, but I was already behind it.
I took the knife from my waist and struck the back of its head.
Its body exploded into particles, and a magic stone and an item fell to the ground.
'Phew~~ It was harder than I expected. I thought my fire magic would hit it, but it managed to avoid my magic.'
After I killed the monster, Lili, who had been hiding, approached.
"That was amazing. What's the name of that barrier you used to hide your presence?"
"It doesn't have a name; it's just magic."
"…"
"Let's go now. I'm excited; let's find more of these monsters."
We explored the 6th floor for several hours, and I gained two more points before we stopped to rest. Then, I wrote some more. Before I realized it, I had written over 20 pages.
My memory is better than I expected. Could it be that my memory also got an upgrade?
