Approximately 10 minutes after entering Sumifuku Dungeon, Hana and the others made their way to the third floor. This means they have gone to a location deeper than the first floor where they defeated the slime last time.
Different from slime, it seems the monster that requires a little fighting ability to beat will also appear on this floor. Thereupon, a skeletal monster immediately appeared in front of Hana.
Katagiri shouted.
"This monster is called Skeleton, a monster that can be defeated by anyone who has acquired status! In today's dungeon exercise, we’ll have everyone defeat this monster with your own power!"
Looks like the escorts were prohibited to help this time. It has nothing to do with Hana who didn't bring an escort, though.
"Yosh, let's do my best!"
While grasping the sword she had borrowed in advance, Hana put her spirit into words.
Perhaps because the effect of acquiring status came forth, she was able to easily swing the sword that normally was heavy and difficult to hold.
Hana doesn't possess any magic-type skill. Although she could use it if she used [Stock], after consulting with Rin, she decided that she needs to conceal the existence of that skill from the surrounding. That's why, she decided to wield a sword as her weapon by utilizing [Body Reinforcement] skill.
After that, under the supervision of Katagiri, Hana and the others fought the skeleton in sequential order. Just as Katagiri said, the skeletons were very weak. Even Hana and the others who were not accustomed to fighting could easily defeat it.
And Katagiri, who was looking at the situation, nodded with satisfaction.
"Splendid, everyone. It seems there is no problem in fighting the monsters for the time being. Next, we’ll have everyone learn about the regulations of being an adventurer while moving–"
However, Katagiri wasn't able to complete his words.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
That's because a scream echoed throughout the dungeon.
The one who screamed was a girl who was close to Hana. The girl pointed her finger in a certain direction while her body trembled. Albeit delayed, Hana also turned her sight to that direction and opened her eyes in shock.
"What, is that…"
The thing that stood there had an appearance beyond the understanding of Hana. If it was to be explained in words, it would probably be a human-shaped tree with a height that exceeds 3 meters. And the human-shaped tree, which seems to be a monster, slowly walks toward the group.
Even Hana, who had only entered the dungeon a few times intuitively knew that it was a powerful monster that was completely different from the Slime or Skeleton.
"A Trent?! Why is there a monster that has at least over 5,000 levels in this dungeon!"
Katagiri, who was in the opposite direction of the group, raised his voice in shock. Because of that, Hana understood that this was neither training nor a surprise but really an unexpected situation that happened.
"__!"
In the succeeding moment, the hand of the Trent stretched out at a terrifying speed and attacked Hana and the others who were at the head of the group.
As it was too sudden, everyone was in a state of confusion and just stood still, unable to move. But at that moment,
