Chapter 25: Chapter 25 - Rescue
"Lord Link, they're in trouble!"
Olga's words brought Link out of his wandering thoughts. Link looked up and saw that not only these monsters, but also several hellhounds appeared behind these people, forming an encirclement attack on this group of people.
Looking at the current situation, if Link and Olga don't take action, these people might not be able to get out of 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 is afraid of being held back by these monsters. When Olga is alone, accidents may happen.
In a dungeon filled with malicious intent, it's always a good idea to be careful.
With Link acting as the vanguard, Olga confidently raised her staff and fiery flames began to condense in front of the staff.
"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 fighting with the monsters also noticed the situation here. After discovering that there were adventurers coming to support, they felt more hopeful and fought harder with the monsters in front of them.
The monsters naturally discovered Link and Olga here. Several horned rabbits abandoned the team surrounding them and rushed towards Olga who was casting a spell, but Link carefully eliminated them all.
"Burn everything! Flame beam!"
The scorching fire finally condensed on the staff and turned into a dazzling beam of flame, sweeping towards 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 rushed out, quickly eliminating 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, because the rescue was timely, the injured only suffered minor injuries and were in no danger.
After finishing the processing, these people hurriedly walked towards Link and Olga, bowed, and thanked, "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, I almost couldn't..."
"Are you a Takemikazuchi familiar?" 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 a little unbearable to look at...
(Ouka: Blossom of 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 guys want to go up too? Let's go together. Some of your members are injured. If you encounter danger again, it'll be troublesome."
"Yes, thank you both for your help!"
Ouka knew that now wasn't the time to be polite. He also knew of the relationship between Hestia and her god Takemikazuchi. They were two friends with good relationships, 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. At the banquet of the gods held in Ganesha, they were ridiculed as poor by acquaintances and family members and had a bad face 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 a little as she faced the giant in front of her.
It can be said that it 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 true 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 huge body stomped on the ground, emitting a dull sound and its terrifying posture, crushing 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 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 in front of everyone's eyes.
The Takemikazuchi Family members looked at this scene blankly, and their movements that were originally about to escape were desperately stopped. They watched in surprise as Olga picked up the magic stones and throwing items from the baby dragon and put 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 were 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 showing longing.
She was fascinated by the opponent's 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.
Sharp...
And 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, Mikoto trotted to follow him.
