chapter 14
2nd Floor – Lv.70 Solar Gryphon (3)
A gun called a shotgun is surprisingly powerless against large beasts.
Of course, in the modern world, an elephant or a rhinoceros must be powerless.

Just for self-defense against wild animals, it is enough to hit a mochi.
But it’s really useless to house-sized monsters like griffons.
But nevertheless, guns on the lower floors are cheats in themselves.
fear.
This is also an element that did not exist when it was a game.
No, actually, there was, but it was something close to a systemic state abnormality.
Fear here is the primordial emotion itself.
Where does fear come from?
It is an instinctive reaction to the unknown.
Now, it is no longer a piece of data, but an object that exists equally to monsters.
It’s very difficult to see guns on the lower floors.
Magic? of course it’s hard

Just like the Aztecs.
For the first time in his life, Griffon heard the sound of thunder and lightning right next to his eardrum.
Thunder echoing from my wand.
* * *
The hunter saw a huge monster with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion leaping away like a cat.
The feathers of the wings stand upright.
The familiar appearance made me think for a moment that the griffon was a cat family.
Of course, even in the midst of that, the skillful hand movements did not stop.
The hunter’s job is to check and fire.
Normal shooting other than [Sharp Shooting] can’t give a blow-like blow, but the monster that has already been severely burned will focus on it.
Of course, that is the leader’s plan B.
When A fails, it does so.
“Give me a crossbow.”
The hunter handed the crossbow to the party leader who flashed next to him without a sound.
It was a matter of pride in its own way as to who would use the fairy’s bow, which is easier to hit in a shooting situation.
[The agility stat is too low. The movement is not precise enough.]
But when he made such a noise and bolted a fly that was sitting 300 meters away, he had no choice but to put his pride aside.
I tried to take off the wings, but I failed.
There is no such archer among the fairies.
I can’t even feel the humiliation of using a bow with aim correction.
The leader asks
“If you don’t get it right, you give up on the boss fight and just run away.”
I’m not talking about the gryphon, a huge target.
Anyway, I don’t worry about not getting it right.
Hunters are also skilled shooters.
The target is the explosive fruit that was already installed before waking up the griffon.

At the same time as a loud explosion occurred, the girl ran out.
You are dealing with monsters of a level that you would not normally be able to catch on the second floor.
There is no such thing as an unimportant role.
But he asserted that her role was the most important.
[It’s important to lose one eye, and it’s important to have a gunshot convulse. But it’s all trivial.]
Griffons are said to be monsters that start at level 50 even if they are caught at the minimum.
In the current state, effective means of attack were almost non-existent.
[Explosive fruit and the degree of stabbing your sincerity that has been compensated for under attack?]
It was a weapon issue.
The griffon’s feathers and tough leather are as unrealistic as their size.
A low-quality cutlery that is not even enchanted does not penetrate properly.
[Originally, it’s a monster you shouldn’t meet here. It is said to be a distant relative of a dragon, so it must be a mithril-like material or a magic item to have a dill. Or just push with force like you.]
Even so, without some active skill correction, it is a giant monster that the three of us cannot even dare to catch.
Without special correction of the labyrinth, no matter how much dragon you use, you cannot cut the throat of a griffon with a single knife.

Just not enough length for me.

Judging by its size, a sword used by humans is similar to a toothpick made of iron.
[So, first you have to take away your mobility and neutralize it so you can’t do anything. Cut off the tendons in the hind legs, and cut off one of the wings. Even if I disable only one pair of wings, I can’t fly.]
As a monster, not using magic, physical abilities are everything.
No matter how strong you are, if you hit it until you die, you will die.
It is most important to make it into a sandbag like that.
If you fail, just retreat.
It’s not easy enough to take risks and continue boss fights.
[If the griffon seems to be losing his mind even after doing all of that, stretch his forelegs a bit, and if possible, put an explosive fruit in his beak and come.]
Perhaps the last story was not the story he was expecting too much.
The girl did it all.
* * *
“Hey, why is this happening?”
“Fufu. There is nothing I can’t do.”
“Let’s just praise him gently this time.”
“Aren’t you always politely complimenting me?”
“I’m glad you thought so.”
“Aww. You’re shy.”
I was satisfied.
It wasn’t long enough to expect teamwork.
However, it is safe to say that it is a party that has been working together for a long time.
Even at such a party, it’s not always this neat. Even though no one is above level 20, none of the party members are scratched.
It’s a kind of work that the achievement system doesn’t have, but it wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to call it a feat.
Of course, the griffon did not die instantly and was still alive. We don’t have that kind of firepower.
But he was completely stunned and unable to move.
Buri proved the strength of this monster by showing that it was only gold even when an [Explosion]-class explosion occurred inside.
The guts of fire-breathing creatures are resistant to fire. There will be no burns. But the tyranny could not do anything.
Considering the timing when the girl put the fruit, it rolled quite a bit into the esophagus.
If it bangs there.
It is rare to find an organism that is hard to the intestines.
Griffon will die soon if left as it is.
“I’m glad I didn’t use all five berries. I have two left.”
“Did you say that it came out because there was a use case? Then wouldn’t it be over if I caught this?”
“I wish I did too. Well, it’s not like I can’t take it to the next floor.”
“It’s good.”
Even if the griffon opens its eyes, it is difficult to move now.
The tendon, which the girl had not been able to completely cut, was also knocked out and spread out, and then it was definitely removed.
Now, all that remains is the issue of the distribution of experience points, because even in such a situation, it is inevitable that weight will be given to the person who actually hit the last blow.
A lot of strange things are happening from the second floor, so I decided to take my experience points.
It’s not difficult. This griffon is going to die anyway, so it’s enough for me to hit a valid level of damage.
Since he is unconscious, the swindle correction always pops up.
After bleeding, he takes out a potion bottle with the intention of receiving it.
The girl has shown interest.
“Can I accept it like that?”
“Dragon blood is good for health. Even distant relatives are not without effect.”
“Isn’t that what it’s supposed to do?”
“You’re a quick-witted kid.”
The healing spring water itself has an excellent effect that is as good as a spare life, but that’s not all.
The spring water protected by the gods of the labyrinth itself is like an aqueous solution of thick divinity and magical power.
It can be used as a material for a potion with an effect other than recovery.
If it is blood like a griffon, it gives a useful all-stat doping effect when mixed in.
If it was real dragon blood or ashes of a world tree, it would be a bizarre thing that gives additional damage to the regeneration power that is comparable to immortality in a short time, enormous stat doping, and so on.
Even so, it is difficult to make because the material is rare.
Hearing those words, the girl also became excited and tried to take the blood of the Griffon.
“No, you don’t.”
“why?”
“When other things are mixed, the healing effect disappears. That’s why the disease is so important. It prevents mixing.”
Illness itself is like an artifact.
After a little thought, the girl decided to value her life more.
It’s not that I can’t use someone else’s potion anyway, so one doping is enough.
The potion bottle, which had been dyed red, began to warm due to the temperature of the blood.
In the game era, the item name would have been changed to ‘Blood of Griffon’.

The arch shaman said to the disciple.
“The entrance is very clean.”
There are traces of traps.
It has been completely demolished with very sophisticated workmanship. Not even time had passed.
The arch shaman assumed a trap expert. There must be one class of agility.
Beware of stealth
On the other hand, the size is unexpectedly small. Three people according to the footprints.
The disciple Orc answered his master’s troubles without regard to his thoughts.
“I think there really were humans.”
To deny it, the horrors on the outside were not fairy-like. If it was a stump fairy, it would have been cleaned up a bit more.
To them, this forest is like life itself.
The orc excavation site is a scar in the forest that cannot be left alone.
“Isn’t that right? If you become an orc, you should listen more to the old shaman.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Twitch.”
The arch shaman clicked his tongue.
If it were just a young orc, I’d give it a stinging sting.
Even if he was reborn as an orc, he was a great human priest.
Now, they have lost all their strength and their connected divinity, but only their faith and noble will remain.
Rather, it is difficult to criticize this attitude, as he even accepted him as a disciple despite opposition.
Still, I hope you get used to life as an orc a little bit. I don’t think it’s going to get any better, so I’m just worried.
The arch shaman sighed and decided to focus on something else.
“If I see a human, I will kill you.”
“I do.”
The disciple Orc smiled coldly.
The saint who was betrayed by humans was no longer benevolent.
The arch shaman doesn’t care either. If there is a grudge against a human being, there are as many as that.
You should think about how to deal with the person in front of you.
Then, a terrifying cry was heard from afar.
The old orc knew it was the gryphon’s scream.
“It seems that those guys took care of the Ruins Guardian as well. It saved me a lot of trouble.”
The troops at the excavation site were also elite in their own way. So it will be that skill.
The arch shaman stroked his beard with satisfaction.
And he raised magic power in his left hand.
It breaks down and a blue lightning begins to form.
The disciple Orc looked at it indifferently.
* * *
There were some errors.
Griffon’s vitality is more persistent than expected.
Even though the intestines had already been shredded and there was no hope any longer, the huge body was constantly spewing blood.
To make a blood potion, the amount of blood that was poured out became so large that it became a puddle.
My breath is slowly fading, but I thought I might come to consciousness.
Now is the time to raid the orc camp where Kurare was released.
Considering the travel time, I couldn’t waste any more time.
“Let’s just deal with it.”
“Okay! But it’s easier than I thought. Would you like to give me a lot of experience?”
The girl was puzzled, yet sympathetic.
The girl who started having fun with the labyrinth system wants to level up quickly to take the next stat.
After much thought, I decided to give it to the girl.
He has to hit it to get out of breath properly in time. It is not worth writing one more fruit.
There is a problem.
As a rule of thumb, it is not good for one party member to become overly strong.
Even in the game era, if you neglect management, you will end up with a colleague who betrays you.
but what
Even so, this girl is still a newbie in the labyrinth. If I’m careful, there’s nothing I can’t control.
Rather, let’s prepare for the future of the kingdom where we will take this guy from now on.
From there, it is difficult to survive as a newbie with good specs.
If you want to get used to the battle using the labyrinth’s unique system, it’s better to level up quickly.
There, it was strangely unlikely that this little boy would have any other mind.
Even if there is something to hide the plot, I know roughly.
If you’ve been stabbed in the back of the head for 97 years, the experience itself is big data, so it’s a different feeling to notice just by looking into your eyes.
There is always no sign of any other thoughts in the muffled eyes.
It’s kinda weird.
Did I have such a trustworthy impression?
I wiped the blade to reflect my face for nothing.
at that time,
There was a pounding and static electricity splattered.
It was very creepy.
