章 25: Chapter 25 - Rescue
"Lord Link, they're in trouble!"
Olga's words jolted Link out of his wandering thoughts. He looked up and saw that not only these monsters but also several hellhounds had appeared behind the group, forming an encirclement.
Given the current situation, if Link and Olga didn't take action, these people might not be able to escape the dungeon today.
"Olga, take action. At least get rid of those horned rabbits and snake monsters. I'll protect you."
"No problem, Lord Link!"
The situation ahead is relatively chaotic, so Link is not prepared to rush in. He is not afraid of danger; the main reason is that he fears being held back by these monsters. When Olga is alone, accidents may occur. In a dungeon filled with malicious intent, it's always wise to be cautious.
With Link acting as the vanguard, Olga confidently raised her staff, and fiery flames began to condense in front of it.
"The flame of the red lotus buried deep in the dark earth, I call you to come on my behalf! Fiery flames!"
Some members of the Takemikazuchi Family, who were battling the monsters, also noticed the situation here. Upon discovering that adventurers were coming to support, they felt more hopeful and fought harder against the monsters in front of them.
The monsters quickly took notice of Link and Olga. Several horned rabbits abandoned the team surrounding them and rushed toward Olga, who was casting a spell, but Link skillfully eliminated them all.
"Burn everything! Flame beam!"
The scorching fire finally condensed on the staff and transformed into a dazzling beam of flame, sweeping toward the surrounding monsters in front. As the rays of flame spread, the besieging monsters suddenly suffered heavy casualties. The Takemikazuchi family seized this opportunity and bravely charged out, quickly dispatching the remaining monsters.
All the monsters were wiped out, and the few people who were safe for the moment quickly began emergency treatment for the injured. Fortunately, due to the timely rescue, the injured only suffered minor injuries and were in no danger.
After tending to the wounds, these individuals hurriedly walked toward Link and Olga, bowed, and expressed their gratitude, saying,
"Thank you both for your timely help! I don't know why a large group of monsters suddenly appeared. If it weren't for you two, we almost couldn't…"
"Are you a member of the Takemikazuchi Family?" Link asked bluntly.
"Yes, I'm the leader of the clan; you can call me Kashima Ouka." He's obviously a strong man, but his name is Ouka, which is somewhat hard to take seriously… (Ouka: Blossom of the Cherry Tree)
"There's no need to thank me too much. My family's goddess, Hestia, is a good friend of your god Takemikazuchi."
"Even so, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you…"
"Okay, do you all want to go up too? Let's move together. Some of your members are injured, and if you encounter danger again, it'll be troublesome."
"Yes, thank you both for your help!"
Ouka understood that now wasn't the time for politeness. He was also aware of the bond between Hestia and her god Takemikazuchi; they were two friends with a strong relationship, so he immediately agreed and led the clan members to follow Link and Olga.
In the original work, Takemikazuchi and Hestia were employees of the "Potato Dumplings" vendor's branch. During the banquet of the gods held in Ganesha, they were ridiculed as poor by acquaintances and family members and wore a strained expression all year round.
It's no exaggeration to say that we're in the same boat. Ouka thought that with Link and Olga's help, the journey back would be much easier, but…
He guessed wrong, very wrong!
On the way back, a huge and terrifying creature appeared in front of them!
"That's... a baby dragon!" Mikoto, who was behind the team, cried out in surprise, her voice trembling slightly as they faced the giant in front of them. It can be said that this is a truly rare species.
This baby dragon is over 4 meters long and rarely appears on the 11th and 12th floors.
It is a BOSS in the truest sense.
Ouka and the others leading the team were ready to find a chance to run away, but the baby dragon had already discovered them. The massive body stomped on the ground, emitting a dull sound, and its terrifying posture crushed everyone.
However…
The protagonist did not retreat but instead advanced at that moment.
He raised the spear with bright flames in his hand and stabbed it straight at the huge baby dragon.
"Chi!"
"Bang!"
With the title of 'Newcomer Terminator,' it is very likely that his actual strength had reached the top BOSS level of LV.2, and thus, he was completely annihilated before everyone's eyes.
The Takemikazuchi Family members looked at this scene blankly, and their movements that were originally about to escape were desperately halted.
They watched in surprise as Olga picked up the magic stones and throwing items from the baby dragon, placing them into her backpack.
This… Is he really just a LV.1 adventurer? Everyone couldn't help but wonder about that.
Their LV.1 and the LV.1 of the person in front of them are not the same at all. This was further confirmed on the way back. The elf with dark-colored skin rarely acts. Basically, whenever a monster appears, the boy at the front of the team will be the first to act.
All the monsters will instantly die from his attack without any suspense. All the monsters turned to ashes behind him. Wearing a black windbreaker, he stood at the end of the road paved with ashes and magic stones, like a hero from ancient myths.
The group of people was dumbfounded, shocked by Link's power, and couldn't help but yearn for him.
Mikoto looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes filled with longing. She was fascinated by his indomitable momentum and his strong, reliable back.
People in the Far East admire the strong, and so does fate. Her heart was beating fast, and every time Link fought later, her eyes were firmly fixed on him.
'Handsome…' She sighed in her heart again and again. She thought to herself: It would be great if…
"Let's catch up quickly, don't fall behind!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the back of the man in front of her, Mikoto trotted to follow him.
