Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest

542 542. Number Of Necks



Kamikaze?

Yeah.

I nodded and loaded the few remaining restraining rounds and shot at the monster, which still hadn't shown itself properly - aiming firmly at the monster, which was moving around so fast - and fired.

The straitjacket hit it, and the monster was stuck in a rope of light, holding onto it.

'What a fun thing to do!'

Sakura's eyes lit up when she saw the restrained monsters.

At a glance, they were three different colored weasels.

The three were connected at the tail, or roots, and each had a rope, sickle, and medicine jar in its mouth.

This is the Kamai-tachi. I see, they looked like this.

Did you know?

I saw it in a comic book when I was a kid.

It's a manga about an elementary school teacher with a demon in her left hand.

It's a trinity of yokai. The first one knocks people down, the second one slashes at them with a sickle, and the third one quickly heals their wounds.

That's funny, I don't know what that means.

Sakura uttered a fond "I don't get it".

My explanation made her eyes sparkle even more, and she stared at the restrained Kamitachi.

'In those comics and old stories, the three were separate entities, but these are connected.'

It's all connected. Like Yamata-no-orochi.

You know about the Yamata no Orochi?

You know, the sword shagger.

Oh, you're on it.

Hmmm. I didn't, but they always talk about when they're coming out, so I learned the opposite.

I see.

So you knew the original story from there and ended up with Yamata-no-Orochi.

......

What's going on, Uncle?

'No, it's nothing. Let's just take it down.

Yeah, do I have to do it?Or did your uncle?

I'll take the drop anyway, because I want it.

Okay.

Sakura stepped back and let me take care of it.

I loaded up my regular rounds and fired three rounds in a row at the restraining Kamitachi.

The first shot blew the pot's head off, but the other two were repelled with a keening metallic sound.

Then the restraints were released and the head of the jar was regenerated as well.

'What?'

Uncle, maybe it's neck order!

"--Hey!I see!

I loaded the gun again.

I focus on the flies that have started moving at breakneck speed and aim at them.

It's so fast, but it's only fast.

Dun-dun-dun!

I pulled the trigger in succession and shot the normal bullets.

Like Sakura said, I shot out the neck of the rope, the neck of the kama, and the neck of the jar, one after the other - and it fell.

Pong, a green fruit is dropped.

'How was it?It was so fast, I kind of missed it.

Sakura was right. I had to hit it in order.

I knew it. This is the fifth floor, right?

There will be cases where you'll have to take it down in a special way from the fifth floor. Thanks.

Heh-heh-

Thanking Sakura, I approach the dropped fruit and pick it up.

'Lemons, huh?'

There's such a thing as a green lemon.

I do. I don't see that often.

I crack open a lemon and take a bite.

It's sour.

It's lemons.

Lemons.

So that means you must be on the fourth floor.

Yeah.

A special drop on the fourth floor that is a bit different from the others.

One that doesn't taste like itself, but converts all the sourness in your mouth afterwards into sweetness.

Miracle Fruit.

'Hey, let's go back to the fourth floor. We might find something.

Yeah.

I nodded and turned back the way I came with Sakura.

The pulsating visceral dungeon, the descending red dungeon snow.

In the midst of it all, we reached the stairs on the climb.

'Ah, Yamata no Orochi.'

A giant snake.

A monster with a full head - a monster that grew far more than the damsels.

A Yamata no Orochi sat there as if guarding the stairs.
