Episode 104

(Note: Special for this chapter, dialogues through the telephone are in ‘….’)

As if responding to my presence, monsters appeared—but they weren’t a threat to me.

My goal was the 501st floor. I believed she was there, and I pressed forward.

“…Alright, let’s do this in one go.”

I gripped my sword tighter and focused. From here on, I would descend at inhuman speed.

Enhancing my physical abilities, I accelerated all at once. As I dashed down the stairs, I slayed any monsters I sensed nearby without stopping.

For monsters carrying three or four magic stones, I could cut them down without even looking back.

Soon, I reached the 101st floor and continued on from there.

I then arrived at the 111th floor. At this point, I could start using the shortcut.

‘Hey hey, I made it back safely. Mind if we start a video call?’

“Sure, no problem.”

Looking at the camera as prompted, I saw not only Saotome-san and Rin, but also Yuna and Kirishima-san.

“Huh? Everyone’s here?”

‘We heard you’d be back today, so we were preparing a meal. Ah! Onii-chan! We’re recording the video properly on our end. So try to keep the footage clear.’

‘We’re making sure there’s plenty of proof of your love for the Association. Don’t worry.’

“…Got it.”

Kirishima-san said that with a sarcastic smile.

…Now then.

Since everyone’s watching, I should hurry and move on.

Normally, progressing through a dungeon means descending stairs… but things change past the 101st floor.

There’s a massive pit. And jumping down it lets you take a shortcut.

So I floated my phone behind me using telekinesis to film from the rear while moving toward it.

Compared to what Kiryu-san does, it was a clumsy use of abilities. But this was my current limit.

Still, since it lets me film without using my hands, it wasn’t bad.

The scenery changed dramatically—from dense green forest to something else entirely.

What appeared before me was a massive cliff.

It stretched hundreds of meters high. And beyond it was a fog-covered abyss. Standing at the edge, I looked down for a moment.

It was more awe-inspiring than I expected.

‘…What an incredible view.’

I heard Kirishima-san’s voice. I was surprised too when I first saw it.

‘This really isn’t like a normal dungeon… You’d never see a cliff this deep under normal conditions.’

‘…I’ve never seen anything like it either.’

‘So what are you going to do, Haruto?’

“This cliff connects from the 111th floor all the way to the 301st.”

‘So?’

“If I jump, I can take the shortcut.”

‘Eh!?’

I wasn’t sure whose voice shouted in surprise.

But before checking, I grabbed my phone. I couldn’t rely on my still-unsteady telekinesis at this height.

Clutching it firmly in my left hand and ensuring my Bullet Sword was secured, I jumped off the cliff.

‘Kyaaaah!?’

A scream burst from the phone. It was as if the speaker themselves were falling.

Soaking in those voices behind me, I plunged downward.

“Kishaaah!”

A Demon Wyvern spotted me and came rushing in—probably mistaking me for prey.

But I had no intention of being eaten that easily.

I targeted the flying monster, known for its massive size and overwhelming power.

It had to be at least five meters long. Its entire body was covered in hard, black scales. Each one of them was gleaming like a blade.

‘Gyaaaaah! Onii-chan’s gonna get eaten!!’
