Chapter 8: Ninya-chan, Fighting the Boss│Read translated stories and daily updates at: Awebstories.com
Ninya’s first priority is to get out of this dungeon. And to avoid the 【Gray-Brigade-Clan】.
Therefore, seeking the blue transport station that was supposed to be the way to the upper floors, she dived even deeper into the lower floors, one after another.
She thinks she is going up.
She could escape the monsters without fighting them thanks to her agility 【buff/modified】.
It helped that the dungeon formed a large forest area. It would have been impossible to keep running away from the demons if the path had been narrow.
Finally, at the end of the dungeon, she arrived at the boss’s room.
“This place is big, huh?”
The moment she arrived, she noticed something odd.
The forest that had been there all along had completely changed.
Now it’s a large open area.
In the middle, there is only one huge black tree.
Its length exceeds 20 meters. However, there were no leaves on it, indicating that it was dead.
Aside from that, there was nothing noteworthy about it.
“Let’s just go to the tree and see what we can find out.”
Thinking so, Nina approached the tree without any caution.
A split second later, the massive black tree begins to move.
“Ah— “
Tentacles.
The next thing she knew, she was flicked off by the tentacles of the huge tree.
What Ninya mistook for a branch turned out to be a moving tentacle.
“Gah!”
She vomits blood.
The surprise attack made her barely conscious.
” N-Natural-healing-power【buff/modified】.”
She quickly recovers.
She also notices that the massive black tree has four goat’s legs and is slowly approaching her.
The Goat-Writing-Giant-Black-Tree.
Rank SSS-class.
Several adventurers have reached the deepest part of the dungeon, encountered it and have all been killed.
It is also the demon that the 【Gray-Brigade-Clan】 is most determined to defeat.
And Ninya was forced to fight this demon without her knowing this.
” Agility【buff/modified】!”
Ninya runs in a straight line to the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat.
” Evasion【buff/modified】!”
Ninya is attacked by a swarm of tentacles as she gets closer.
Ninya avoids them one by one, closing the gap between them.
” Physical-attack-power【buff/modified】!”
Ninya then punches the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat.
(Huh? It didn’t do any damage!)
It appears that the attack is being absorbed.
That’s exactly how it feels.
” Ah…”
Tentacles are closing in on her.
” Defensive-power【buff/modified】!”
She’s just in time to 【buff】 the defensive power.
“Ah.”
However, the tentacle’s attack was lethal.
Ninya is blown off her feet and falls to the ground.”
” Agility【buff/modified】.”
Ninya stands up and returns her attention to the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat.
She then punches at it while avoiding the tentacles.
The Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat, on the other hand, is unfazed.
And then the tentacles strike back.
(Why doesn’t it work?)
Nina has a thought.
But, even as she thought about it, she had no other way to attack the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat
” Attack power 【buff/modified】.”
That’s why Ninya repeatedly punched Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat.
And again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again —
” Attack power 【buff/modified】!”
Ninya has been hitting the demon for the umpteenth time.
And yet the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat is not even a little bit fazed.
” Ugh!”
Ninya was being flung away once more by the tentacles.
” Gghh… Gahhhh…!”
Ninya stands up and coughs up blood.
(It’s impossible… I’ll never win…)
At some point, Nina concluded.
(I want to escape…)
However, there is no way out.
She must defeat it in order to escape.
“Natural-healing-power【buff/modified】,stamina-healing-power【buff/modified】.”
She returned her body to its original condition.
But her spirit is still worn out.
(I can’t… I’m not going to win.)
Tears begin to fall down her cheeks and fall to the ground.
She thought it was pathetic to cry during a battle.
But she couldn’t help but cry…
Whap!
the sound of the wind blowing.
Before her eyes is a tentacle fast approaching.
” Agh!”
Ninya is blown away and falls to the ground.
(It hurts.)
The tentacles attack Ninya once more.
(I don’t want to be in pain anymore…)
Then Ninya tries to escape from the pain, thinking only of escaping from the tentacles.
” Agility【buff/modified】,Evasion rate【buff/modified】!”
Ninya just runs away in a haphazard manner.
There is no adventurer to be seen.
She’s just a crying girl who desperately wants to be free of her fear.
But the longer she runs, the worse things become.
There was nowhere to run by the time she realized it.
“Haa… haa… haa…!”
A wall hit her back.
Countless tentacles blocked her escape.
“Goooooooooooooooo!”
It was the Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-low Goat’s cry.
I got you.
The Writhing-Giant-Black-Tree-Goat seemed to want to say so, and then it swung its numerous tentacles like whips.
Over and over again.
Whap! Whap! Whap!
“Defensive-power【buff/modified】.”
Ninya curled up on her knees and took the blows.
(It hurts!)
Even with increased defensive power, it still hurts.
(It hurts!)
One tentacle after another attacks Ninya.
(It hurts!)
And Ninya’s injuries mount up over time.
(It hurts!)
How can I get rid of this discomfort?
(It hurts!)
I was like this every day when she was in the【Gray-Brigade-Clan】.
(It hurts!)
How did I overcome it…?
Ninya had a flash of inspiration.
