Dungeon Expedition: Eightieth Floor

“Graaar!”

Taking advantage of the ogre’s loss of balance after I dodged its rusty iron club, I leaped forward, raising my knife high. “Double Edge.”

The two-strike combat technique pierced both of the ogre’s eyes. It dropped its weapon, howling and clutching its face in agony; I slid behind it and drove my black dagger into its ear and through its brain, finishing it off. It was hard to do any damage to an ogre using my throwing weapons or knife—their hide was tough enough to be used for high-grade leather armor—but I could still take it down in one-on-one combat.

Our leader, Dalton, had seen that I could hold my own unexpectedly well and assigned me to handle occasional monsters on top of scouting ahead. Moreover, due to my unconventional fighting style, the knights in the rearguard tended to move more cautiously if I was near them. While they readily acknowledged the strength of warrior-types like Dalton and Feld, they seemed to find me unsettling.

At first, Dalton had tasked me with handling orcs and hobgoblins, but as the days passed, he’d gradually begun assigning me to deal with Rank 4 enemies like ogres. The shift had been necessary so we could clear the floors faster.

“We’re done,” Dalton said as he and Feld moved back, having just defeated two trolls.

“All right,” I replied.

“Well, let’s do our other job then, yeah?” Viro said, stepping forward with me in tow.

Trolls were Rank 4 monsters in terms of combat power numbers, but because they had special regenerative abilities that scanning assessments couldn’t quite catch, the Adventurers’ Guild classified them as low-end Rank 5. Viro and I wielded smaller weapons and couldn’t really do much against them through conventional means, so we needed to rely on the larger weapons wielded by the front liners.

“How frustrating,” I muttered under my breath.

“Can’t quite handle a Rank 5 yet, huh?” Viro said. “Well, don’t let it get you down. Sure, you can’t handle a troll right now, but once your Dagger Mastery reaches Level 5, they won’t be a problem.”

“Do you know any Level 5 Dagger Mastery techniques, Viro?”

Cere’zhula had Dagger Mastery too, but since it was only at Level 3, she couldn’t use the higher-level techniques. I figured maybe Viro, being Rank 4, might know something about them.

“Never seen ’em. Scouts are everywhere, but combat-focused scouts like us are rare. I can’t teach you what I’ve never seen, but I’ve read about Level 5 techniques in the guild’s records. They mentioned a dual-handed eight-hit combo, but I can’t even begin to imagine how that might work.”

“Huh...” An eight-hit combo... I couldn’t picture it at all. Simple, repetitive strikes tended to have weakened impact.

“Well, for now, just focus on getting Dagger Mastery to Level 4. Even those techniques are already something else, y’know? I’ll see if I can show you sometime when His Fussiness over there isn’t watching us like a hawk,” he said, referring to Prince Amor.

“All right.”

As we took the vanguard, Viro frowned at the corpses of the trolls that Feld and Dalton had defeated.
