After the battle against Rock Lizard, I was able to descend smoothly to the lowest floor without encountering any other monsters. And now, in front of me stood a large door leading to the boss room.
"In the end, it merely took me less than 30 minutes to arrive here. It makes me wonder whether it is fine for my first B-rank dungeon capturing to be this easy… But well, it's not like there’s someone complaining about it, though. Let's not worry about it and just go."
As follows, I opened the door of the boss room and entered right away.
In the center of the room stood a lizard-shaped monster whose body was clad in flames– Salamander. Its size was considerably large, and its height was probably around 1 meter.
Although I have investigated the boss before challenging the dungeon, I will use [Appraisal] on it just in case.

"Un, just as I've investigated. If it's just like this, then I'll manage somehow."
Holding Greed in hand, I faced the Salamander head-on. And it was the Salamander that made the first move.
"GAAAAAA!"
The roar of the Salamander echoed throughout the area. Then, responding to the roar, flames gathered in one place– Or not. The flames circled as if making a vortex before firing towards me in a straight line.
If I directly took that attack that boasted a huge amount of heat, great damage will be unavoidable.
–But of course, that was if it could even hit me.
"Eat it, Greed!"
"–!?"
The moment the crystalline blade touched it, the flame vortex disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the blade of Greed shined a red color.
"–Here I go"
Facing such an unexpected situation where the flame vortex it released disappeared in an instant, the Salamander halted its movement. And I didn't miss this opportunity.
There wasn't even a need to use Time Zero, as I instantly closed my distance to the Salamander by super-fast movement relying purely on my speed parameter. Then, right after I raised Greed to attack, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
… Isn't it also possible to absorb the flames that clad the body of the Salamander?
If Greed can absorb flames or lightning released by monsters, then, this shouldn't be impossible too. Thus, as an experiment, I tried to absorb it.
The result was–
"– it could!"
Greed brilliantly succeeded in absorbing the flames, causing Salamander's body to be exposed in the air. In other words, the flames armor that protected the Salamander was gone.
And Salamander's scales aren't as hard as the Rock Lizard's. Hence, the blade that I swung right after absorbing the flames deeply pierced its body.
"GAAAUUUUUU!"
"Whoa!"
Nonetheless, as expected, it looks like it's not an enemy that could be killed in a single blow, as at the next moment, the Salamander tried to launch a body blow at me vigorously, ignoring the blade that pierced into its body.
I pulled out Greed that was stuck in its body and evaded it with a slight movement. Then, using that momentum–
"Haa!"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
–The blade that I brandished with all my might cut through the face of the Salamander.
That became the finishing blow, and the Salamander collapsed while raising a death-cry.
