A brown bear.
No, a balding male lion with all its mane gone.
But its body was a gorilla packed with muscle.
I might be facing the worst enemy possible.
"That, that muscle...."
"Do we really have to kill that thing?"
Lune and Gremory were already gulping and suffering at the enemy—Lion’s—appearance.
Its head was very small, but the body below looked strong enough to eat any decent bodybuilder for breakfast. If it had been pumped with steroids, it would probably look like this.
"Don’t, don’t be fooled! Why else would it be level 80?!"
With a quest appearing, I couldn’t just let this pass. I lifted my shield and cautiously approached Lion.
"I’ll admit you’re jacked! But you have a huge weakness!"
Lion stared at without moving its straight eyebrows even 1mm.
"You bald-"
Boom!
My wrist holding the shield tingled. Before I could finish speaking, Lion brought its fist down on my shield. If I hadn’t charged in with my tattoo activated, my wrist would definitely have shattered.
"Ugh...!"
"Looks like I drew aggro first and we’re fighting now...can’t be helped once the fight’s started."
Lune and Gremory began harassing Lion from long range. Wind arrows and fireballs flew at Lion like bullets.
Clang, clang!
Lion stuck its hands into its white belly that looked like weird bear paws, then actually pulled out gloves shaped like bear paws and wore them on its hands, swinging them around.
A blood-like aura began to settle on the bear paw gloves.
"What the hell is that...?!"
"Does it think it’s a bear?!"
"It’s not a bear! It’s a bald lion, gyaaah?!"
Lion drop-kicked without changing its expression. Even though I blocked with my shield, my body was pushed back greatly, and Lion’s attacks didn’t stop there.
Clang, clang!!
Lion swung its bear paws trying to smash my shield completely. Every ti the sharp claws on the paws scratched the shield, the tallic sound assaulted my ears.
"Why are you getting mad! You are bald!"
Clang, clang!!
Lion swung its arms with a thoughtless face, but the increasingly strong force definitely contained anger.
"Gyaaaah!!"
I threw my shield forward and rolled my body to the side. As Lion raised both arms high and brought them down vertically, the iron shield split in half.
"See that level 80 power!"
"Master, your weapon?!"
"It’s fine! I brought another one!"
I grabbed two axes tied to my waist, one in each hand. Lion also flinched at the well-sharpened axes and took a step back.
"Hahaha! You may look like that, but a monster’s still a monster! To think you’d be scared of these axes!"
A faint divine power flowed through the axe blades. The axes blessed by the priest Guinevere had very weak divine power, but it would be a lethal poison to monsters.
’Stings like hell though.’
Of course, my hands gripping them also stung right now like they’d been shocked. I had to settle this before the divine power wore off.
"Baldness has no cure!!"
I charged at Lion first, swinging the axes in an X-cross. Lion stepped forward to counter my attack, and I repeatedly hamred attacks into Lion.
Clang, clang, clang!!
Sparks flew every ti the axe blades clashed with the bear claws. In a pure contest of strength versus strength, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say Lion and I were evenly matched.
’50:50 even with buffs won’t do!’
The mont the red tattoo was briefly released, my axes would be cut and my head grabbed by Lion. I had to catch Lion before the buff ti ran out.
Of course, I wasn’t the only hunter after Lion.
Pew pew pew!!
Lune’s wind arrows rcilessly pierced Lion’s hide. Though they didn’t penetrate or embed, they had enough stopping power to halt Lion’s movents briefly.
"Good! Just a mont!"
Gremory struck the ground with her staff. Stone walls rose high from the floor centered on Lion, and the walls trapped Lion in the middle.
"Whew. What the hell is that-"
Crash!!
Before Gremory could catch her breath, Lion punched through the stone walls and ca out. I was starting to fear that expressionless face.
"No way, where’s Vapula and why is a muscle lion appearing?!"
I couldn’t understand this unfairness given to us. Hell, even if a chira with a lion’s head appeared I’d accept it, but who could have imagined a lion like this would appear. Is this even a lion?
’The problem is it’s stupidly strong.’
Lion brushed off the dirt on its body and stood upright. Just standing there, the pressure was so intense it was hard to find an opening.
’Even if it’s Vapula’s sub-dungeon, this thing is a sub-dungeon boss?’
Shax wore a costu with a person inside so I accepted that, but this guy is a lion itself, not even a bear, yet way too strong.
"Fuck, you’re trying to deceive with your appearance! Don’t scam ! You’re not the real deal! You’re a fake! Lune!!"
Pew pew pew!
Lune’s arrows focused on sniping Lion’s head.
"Let transplant hair for you with arrows!!"
Clang! Clang!
Lion’s bear paws beca even more powerful, and I almost dropped my axes.
"Hey! Stop making fun of its head! It’s getting more pissed!"
"Then who told it to go bald, ugh!!"
Clang!!
Lion stabbed its bear paw downward, slipping between the axes. At the too-fast attack, I missed the timing to counter.
"Gyaaah!!"
I instinctively pulled my butt back. Even if my belly got scratched by claws like an autobahn, my dick absolutely couldn’t be split into three pieces.
Swish!
Lion’s claws scraped my belly and slid toward the floor. The bear paw that very narrowly grazed the front of my pants began falling toward the floor.
"Uoooh!!"
I brought my axe down with full force. Lion hurriedly pulled its hand out of the bear paw, and I chopped the bear paw with my axe and flung it away.
"Gremory!!"
"Duck!"
I bent one knee, and a sharp blade-like wind flew over my head and covered Lion. The mana Gremory had gathered beca wind like blades and struck Lion’s head.
"Go, Gremory! Rip out even that bastard’s hair roots!"
Clang!
Even as its skin was scraped by the blade-wind, Lion tried to stab with the remaining bear paw. This ti it tried to stab my solar plexus so I hurriedly rolled to the side.
"Ugh?!"
"Master!!"
My shoulder burned. The robe made of Andras cloth was torn like paper, and blood splattered long from my shoulder. As the burning sensation spread through my whole body, my vision began turning completely red.
"You bastard!!"
I imdiately gripped the axe in reverse and chopped at the wrist beyond the bear paw.
Pshhhhh!!
As soon as the axe embedded, blood began gushing like a fountain. As my heartbeat quickened, I started seeing the location of blood vessels inside Lion’s hide one by one.
"Lune, snipe where I chop!"
I wildly swung my axes creating axe marks all over Lion’s body. Lion also struggled trying to counter my axes with punches, but I wasn’t going to just watch that opening.
Pew pew pew!!
Lune’s wind arrows stuck into the spots with deep X-shaped axe marks. Lion’s brown hide gradually began soaking with red blood, and I kept attacking the blood vessels while blocking Lion’s attacks with axes and my body.
"Hey bastard! Does being jacked solve everything?!"
Roar!
I blocked Lion’s punch with my axe handle. The fishy taste of blood welling up filled my mouth.
"Ptooey!"
I spat the blood and saliva pooled in my mouth forward, and Lion flinched and jerked its head back. I used that gap to step forward one more step and gripped my axes tight.
"You think you’re the first guys like you I’ve t?!"
Thwack!!
I embedded both axes into Lion’s forehead. I chopped so deep that the axe handles almost went in, and it felt like I’d chopped through the thick hide and beyond the skull.
Gyaaah.
Even while bleeding profusely, Lion didn’t twitch an eyebrow. Enduring the sharp pain, I raised my fist high.
"There are two kinds of hair the world doesn’t need."
Kiyaah!!
Lion extended its legs trying to kick . But Gremory’s magic made its lower body sink down. Having already lost too much blood, Lion couldn’t easily escape the swamp created on the floor.
"Listen up. You hairless lion."
I placed my fist against the back of the axe and struck down.
"The only hair you don’t need is armpit hair and bald heads!!!"
Crack!!
I struck the axe down with my fist, splitting Lion’s head handle and all.
Psssss.
Vapula, who had felt real just monts ago, beca an illusion and disappeared.
"Haha, we won."
I lay spread-eagle on the floor. A feeling of exhaustion began crushing my whole body.
"Stupidly strong...."
***
A mont later.
I lay on the floor waiting for my wounds to heal. Lion was appropriately strong for level 80, and because I took most of Lion’s attacks with my body rather than dodging, my whole body was screaming.
’I seriously feel like dying.’
If self-resurrection were possible, I’d seriously rather die and co back to life—it was that hard. I even thought if Halphas’s Legion attacked right now, I’d really want to kill them all.
’But at least I cleared the quest.’
"Hehe, hehehe."
[Hidden Quest: Defeat the General Manager!!]
[Achievent Reward: 1 Highest Grade Magic Stone, 1 Corruption Stone.]
[The composition of Vapula’s Sub-Dungeon changes to the original dungeon.]
"So it was a hidden dungeon after all."
Just like the slihole that appeared while touring the sli sub-dungeon, the Vapula dungeon I just entered must have been a hidden dungeon too. Until now, a hidden dungeon had never appeared even once, but to have it appear again like this was very welco.
’The highest grade magic stone and corruption stone are welco too.’
I kind of wished hidden bosses would appear in other sub-dungeons too, but honestly I was also worried. Just Vapula dungeon’s hidden boss alone had the power to half-destroy the boss room, so how strong would the ones above get?
’Anyway, I cleared it fortunately, otherwise I would have lost magic stones big ti.’
I examined the magic stones Lune and Gremory had gathered. Compared to the number of Fla Panthers killed, it was woefully insufficient, but the fact that all fifteen or so of these gems were mid-grade magic stones made my heart swell.
"I get why adventurers say it’s a life-changing opportunity and go in and out of dungeons. Ugh."
Even with just a 10:1 exchange rate, mid-grade magic stones were worth as much as 100 lowest grade magic stones. And now the quality of subordinates I could summon using mid-grade magic stones had increased considerably.
’I can summon ★★★ subordinates right away.’
Sli Dragon.
Slihole.
Ghoul Knight.
Ghoul Mage.
Orc Warrior.
Demi-human Andras.
Harpuia.
There was also a thod of summoning all at 3-star to overlay for synthesizing the main elite troops that form the core. On average, 3-star max level is around 55, so if I dumped a day’s worth of mid-grade magic stones, couldn’t I level even a level 1 monster to level 55?
"Master!"
"Nothing there."
While I pondered how to strengthen my forces using mid-grade magic stones, Lune and Gremory looked around the dungeon to see if there were any remaining magic stones and ca back. Unfortunately, their hands were empty.
"So individuals have magic stones and so don’t. The 15 we gathered is all there is."
"Yeah? Then let’s check the next thing."
I struggled to raise my body and pulled Gremory and Lune close. Without long talk, I imdiately stuck my hands into their pussies.
Lune, Lv.69.
Gremory, Lv.74.
"Tsk. Because I got the last hit on Lion? The level still hasn’t gone up."
"I thought we killed quite a lot."
"That’s how hard it is to get stronger and reach the limit."
Even if the level didn’t go up, there were still many chances to raise it. I gently grabbed both their waists and pointed outside the dungeon.
"Let’s do one more round. This ti Gremory gets all the kills."
"You want to kill everything? That’s possible, but are you okay? You look really tired."
"Don’t underestimate orc recovery."
Except for serious injuries, all minor wounds had healed. I might not be able to beat soone similar to or stronger than , but I had enough strength left to beat those weaker than .
"Anyway, besides you two, no one else seems able to catch Fla Panthers. So you guys catch them and naturally raise experience, and it’s better to use the mid-grade magic stones for other useful things."
"What if we can’t reach the target level?"
"Pour in magic stones."
I took one mid-grade magic stone from Lune and shoved it deep into Gremory’s pussy.
"Eehiik?!"
The mont the magic stone entered her vagina, Gremory bit her lips and ca. Her main body, not a clone, was loose enough to fit the entire mid-grade magic stone, much larger than an egg.
"Now to make this brand new again, you’ll have to work hard. Heave-ho."
"Don’t, don’t put it in! Pushing magic stones to the end of the vagina doesn’t make it more effective, hyaah?!"
The mont I shoved my dick into her pussy, Gremory trembled. The mid-grade magic stone in front of my wet glans heated up and began spreading mana around.
"Huh...?"
"It’s lting? I don’t know what this is, but doesn’t this get absorbed into the body? Lune, take out everything you have."
It was working.
I repeatedly pulled out and inserted my dick, successively shoving all 15 mid-grade magic stones in.
