Chapter 35

(Please support me... Everyone is not giving me enough support... I even had the thought of giving up...)

Even without personally taking action, it was clear that the monster called 'wall' was already as dead as it could be. The originally massive body, standing three to four meters tall, had already been shattered into a pile of stones under the inhumane attacks of Daisy. However, Daisy's attacks did not stop. She swung the White Cherry in her hand, her eyes tightly closed, shouting and continuously pounding the ground as if it were her enemy.

"..." Mugen and Misaki had been watching Daisy's actions for nearly five minutes. Initially, they were a bit afraid of Daisy's outburst, but now, they were completely embarrassed.

Mugen thought that if this continued, even if the president wouldn't be exhausted, he and Misaki would get tired of watching. So, it was better to stop her.

"Hey, Daisy..." Mugen forced a fake smile, pointing to the ground where a deep pit had already formed. "The wall is already broken, no need to hit it anymore..."

Daisy's striking motion paused, and she panted heavily, looking at Mugen with a scared expression. She said in a daze, "Broken... broken... is it dead?"

Seeing that Daisy hadn't fully recovered from her state, Mugen began to doubt whether bringing Daisy here was the right choice. After all, they had only encountered the first monster, and Daisy already showed signs of going berserk. There would definitely be many more monsters to come, and at that time...

Just thinking about it made Mugen shudder.

"It's already dead, so, Daisy, stop hitting it..." Clearly, even Misaki, a Level 5 with 68th-level strength, was afraid of the president's madness.

"Dead... dead..." Daisy slowly lowered her head, looking at the ground she had been tormenting. There was nothing left except a nearly one-meter-wide pit. The 'wall' monster had disappeared.

"Ha... ha ha ha... it's dead, so there's nothing to be afraid of... ha ha..." Daisy took a deep breath, the White Cherry in her hand turned into cherry blossoms and scattered. She panted a few times, hands on her hips, and laughed dryly. The smile was as fake as it could be.

"..." The two onlookers felt it was better not to interrupt Daisy's performance at this moment.

Deciding to ignore Daisy, Mugen walked to the entrance that had appeared due to the 'wall's' departure. Inside the entrance was a much smaller passage, but it extended downward like a slide. The surface was very smooth, indicating that one could slide down directly.

"This should be the correct passage, right." Misaki walked up to Mugen's side, looking at the slide-like passage. After encountering the monster, Misaki's fear of monsters had completely disappeared.

"Probably..." Mugen said uncertainly. "Since the conceptual compass pointed here, this should be the passage leading deeper into the seal barrier."

"Then... shall we go down?" Misaki asked.

"Yeah... from now on, it will be truly dangerous..." Mugen tightened his grip on the Kusanagi sword, a wave of emotions surged in his heart—was it hesitation, fear, or excitement?

Seeing the complex emotions in Mugen's eyes, Misaki said, "Don't worry, I'm with you!"

Mugen turned to look at Misaki, staring at her until her face turned red and her eyes shifted. "You... don't misunderstand, I'm just doing it for myself. Yes, for myself, if you die, I will die too."

Mugen chuckled, making Misaki's face turn even redder. Before she could get more tsundere, Mugen said earnestly, "Thank you, Misaki!"

Misaki was taken aback, huffed, and turned away, saying nothing.

"I'm here too! I will help!" A voice from behind made Mugen and Misaki's bodies stiffen, and they both smiled awkwardly.

Daisy walked over, her face full of dissatisfaction, and her eyes slightly jealous. Although she had been a bit out of it earlier, she had seen the interaction between Mugen and Misaki. However, she didn't stare at Misaki but instead glared at Mugen as if he were a big betrayer.

Mugen scratched his face, smiled meekly at Daisy, which only made her more dissatisfied.

It's better to change the topic...

With this thought, Mugen quickly turned to the entrance. "Alright, let's go!"

Saying that, Mugen jumped in and slid down.

"We'll go down too, Daisy!" Misaki said and followed, sliding down. Daisy stood at the entrance, looking at the two who had left, and quickly followed after glancing around the now empty area.

The passage was not very long. Soon, Mugen saw the exit of the slide and quickly slid out. A sense of imbalance came over him, and he quickly adjusted his posture. Looking down, he found himself suspended in mid-air, at least ten meters above the ground!

Startled by his sudden position in mid-air, Mugen quickly adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the ground.

"Ah!!!" A scream came from above, and Mugen looked up to see a creature named 'Misaka Mikoto' falling straight toward him, her skirt flying and her safety shorts exposed, making Mugen's expression waver. He quickly reached out and caught her in his arms.

"Wow, how did you fall? Can't you use electromagnetism to stick to the walls?" Mugen said, speechless, looking at the girl in his arms.

Being held in a princess carry by Mugen, Misaki's face inevitably turned red. "I... I... I didn't have time..."

Lack of training... This is the result of having no combat experience...

Although Misaki was Level 5, she had never truly fought. The usual sparring sessions were not real battles, so she couldn't maintain a good combat mindset and react promptly in any situation.

Wait! If Misaki fell, that means...

"Ah!!!" Daisy's scream also rang out, startling the two who were in a compromising position. Mugen put Misaki down and caught Daisy in the same way, his eyes wide.

I don't know if this is suffering or enjoyment...

Putting the still shocked Daisy down, Mugen picked up the Kusanagi sword he had thrown on the ground and looked at the two girls. "Please, be more cautious. If I hadn't caught you, a ten-meter fall would have been fatal."

Under Mugen's exasperated and teasing gaze, the two girls lowered their heads like defeated roosters, then raised them and loudly rebutted.

"That's not true, I just didn't react in time. Next time, I'll definitely be able to..." — Misaki.

"Exactly, just didn't react in time. The one who benefited is still lecturing us!" — Daisy.

Two tsunderes, although I like them...

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, making the three of them pause.

Reacting quickly, Mugen grabbed Daisy and moved with Misaki to the side. A shadow flashed past their previous position and stopped.

"What is that!" While Mugen was still holding Daisy, Misaki exclaimed. Mugen quickly looked up and saw a monster resembling a werewolf standing there, its green eyes staring at them, saliva dripping from its mouth as if it had seen a delicious meal.

Big Wolf Monster: (Level 30)

Mugen's expression became serious. Level 30, in the Himeyuri family, only Isumi could reach such a level. Now, a randomly appearing wolf monster had already reached Level 30, no wonder the Himeyuri family members died one by one when they entered.

"Is... is this a werewolf?" Lying in Mugen's arms, Daisy, despite her shyness, looked at the werewolf in surprise.

"Monsters are truly varied, one moment it's a wall, the next it's a werewolf..." Misaki actually started to comment. Please, is this the time to comment? Well... for you, this werewolf isn't much of a threat.

"Will you fight, or will I?" Misaki said with an excited expression. For this competitive girl, being able to fight was indeed an exciting thing. Initially, she was afraid of monsters, so she didn't show this excitement.

"I'll fight. This wolf monster doesn't need you to step in!" Putting Daisy down, Mugen raised his sword and aimed at the big wolf monster.

Although if he handed it to Misaki, the big wolf monster would be dealt with quickly, and Mugen would still gain experience, he didn't think that handing over a monster he could handle would make him a true strong person.

"Ao!!!" As Mugen charged at the big wolf monster, the wolf monster also howled and charged at him on all fours, leaving a trail of shadows. In Mugen's narrowed eyes, the wolf's claw came down.

In a hurry, Mugen raised his long sword to block the wolf's claw. The immense force transmitted through the blade sent Mugen flying. Mugen's body swayed, and he pressed his hand on the ground, then pushed hard, springing back to the big wolf monster and thrusting his sword at its eye.

A "ding" sound echoed as a hard sensation came from the wolf's claw blocking the sword. The sword was then grabbed by the wolf.

Mugen's expression hardened, and he spun his hands, making the long sword rotate rapidly, creating intense friction with the wolf's claw, sparking.

"Ao..." The big wolf monster howled in pain, releasing Mugen's Kusanagi sword. Mugen regained his grip and kicked the big wolf monster away.

"Wow, that's amazing... Mugen..." Daisy watched the battle with tension, muttering.

"Not bad, if I have time, I'll definitely challenge him!" If Mugen knew he was being targeted by the violent Misaka Mikoto, what would his expression be...

Kicked away by Mugen, the big wolf monster's green eyes turned slightly blood-red. It roared wildly and charged at Mugen again, leaving a trail of shadows. It swung its claw.

Raising his sword to block, Mugen barely stopped his body from being hit again, gritting his teeth.

Strong and fast, if its reaction wasn't slower than mine, I might have lost...

The veins on his arms bulged, indicating that Mugen was using all his strength. Although he stopped being hit, his strength was weaker than the big wolf monster's, and his body was pushed back, leaving two trails on the ground.

Gripping the sword handle tightly, Mugen pushed hard, finally stopping his retreat. He looked up at the big wolf monster, whose face was contorted and whose saliva almost dripped onto him, and his eyes glowed with a cold light.

I can't match its strength or speed, and a prolonged battle is not in my favor. I need to finish this in one go!

A white halo appeared on the blade of the Kusanagi sword, and the surrounding air began to ripple. Mugen smiled slightly and shouted.

"Ran Kaiten no Mai!!!" (Dance of the Reversing Sky)

The white halo turned into a circular arc, and the air became a sharp blade. The arc struck the big wolf monster, which was right in front of him, producing a loud boom...
