"Fuu, with this, I have defeated one-fifth of the total monsters…"
While drinking the HP and MP recovery pills, I assessed the current situation.
The fact that I've only defeated that many monsters after continuing to fight for more than an hour definitely almost broke my heart.
And my broken heart wasn't even the only problem. My stamina was also another problem. HP and MP could be recovered by their own recovery pills, but fatigue couldn't be recovered just like that. Even so, a fiercer battle surely awaits for me from here onward.
"Can't be helped, let's raise my skill level."
I opened my status screen and confirmed I have 3610 SP right now. Of course, the SP has increased accordingly as my level raised by 40 from the previous battle.
And all those SP I had was spent on one skill. It was [Magic Power Increase] that raised from Lv 2 to Lv 5 at once.
____-
Magic Power Increase Lv 5: MP +50%

"Yosh, with this, the time I could activate Gale will be increased. Because it is a lot easier to fight while that skill is activated after all. That's why I want to use it to fight the remaining monsters as much as possible."
The enemies were swarming. If I handed the initiative to them, I am sure I would be easily crushed. That's why I have to take control of the flow of the battle from the start to finish without letting my guard down.
Then, the earth started trembling once again. And the tremble was much larger than the previous one.
I recovered and readied the Flashsword.
"Yosh_here I go"
Powerfully kicking the ground, I ran toward the horde of wolves.
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1』
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1』
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1』
I wonder how long I have been fighting these monsters? Since defeating around 3,000 wolves, it becomes impossible to even roughly keep tabs on how many wolves were defeated. In the end, without getting time to rest, the third and fourth hordes appear consecutively.
Neither the roar of the demon wolves nor the level-up announcement from the system could properly be heard anymore. I just kept slashing the enemies' neck with my dagger one after another while reflexively dodging the magics that fired at me.
Having lost the sense of my hands, I just kept swinging my dagger in an unconscious state.
However besides that, in the corner of my mind that has been maintaining its calmness, a certain thought appeared.
Adventurers usually challenge a dungeon that is appropriate for their abilities after making elaborate preparation. That was the standard of the world and of course, I did that too.
But there are those who were fighting without minding that kind of commonsensicals. They're A-rank adventurers who were exceptionally special among adventurers and_S-rank adventurers who surpassed them.
Every day, they challenged the high-difficulty dungeons that no one has ever captured. For them, unexpected situations were common sense, and they have fought stronger enemies on a regular basis.
And surely, that was what the true definition of dungeon capture is.
A tight battle where a moment of carelessness can lead to death.
Only those who could overcome that kind of situation will be given valuable rewards.
Aa, I see. I finally understood.
Right now, I am sure I was–in the truest sense, capturing a dungeon. Just like the top-rank adventurers, that has been my goal for very long.
I want to catch up.
No, it's not like that.
I have to overtake them for the sake of becoming the strongest in the world.
To surpass those who continue to temper themselves at the bottom of the hell–I surely have to dive deeper than that.
The current me couldn't even arrive at that place yet.
Even so, I am certain I will have to reach that place someday.
That's why, I–
