Their way of walking was giving a deep impression.

"Oh, we should've immediately raped her in the 3rd floor if we knew such a thing would happen."

He heard such words coming from their mouth.

'Rap......!?'

Haruki was nearly startled.

"If you do that, we will be exposed."

"We will not be exposed, because we will separate in the end."

"You are the worst."

"What did you say, after you blew her with your s.h.i.+eld?"

"That is for certain."

They still ignored Haruki even though he caused a loud commotion due to his confusion. 

'They probably don't even notice me. I can understand it through their eyes movement.'

'......that's good too!'

It was normal to have no reaction.

However, Haruki didn't feel bad even though the opponent was unresponsive for now.

He didn't want to engage with those who said inappropriate words.

Involving with them would make him image an unpleasant future.

"She is a beginner, isn't she? She is only 18 years old, what a pitiful girl."

"Huh, what do you say after you knock her with your s.h.i.+eld?"

"You who abandoned her can say that!?"

"She only became a sacrifice to save us."

"Eh, are you not mistaken with bait?"

As they burst out laughing, Haruki, who heard their conversation, suddenly stop his movement.

'Punched, 18 years old, abandoned, sacrifice, bait.'

From the words he heard, a cruel scene came to his mind.

He suddenly s.h.i.+vered.

He was more careful than before, but his legs moved faster.

Harumi moved in the direction from where they fled.

At that location, his eyes caught a lot of red eyes from a group of Killer Rabbits.

'It is Monster Rampage!'

Haruki immediately understood what caused the scene.

'They escaped with all their power when they saw it.'

It was a way to cope with Monster Rampages which was written in "Let's be".

Haruki knew about that terrifying phenomenon from Wiki's blog.

There were also parties who dare to face it.

But the result was semi-destruction, desertion, annihilation, and extinction.

'I engraved in my heart if I experience such thing, I will escape with all my might.'

A tremendous amount of monsters was filling up the pa.s.sage.

Out of 10 adventurers, 10 people would answer to escape immediately.

Therefore, Haruki tried to escape.

However......, Haruki didn't escape because a figure of a girl sitting in front of monsters rampage was caught in his eyes.

He connected the girl and the conversation of those previous men.

At that moment, Haruki's head became hot.

His actions after that were simple.

Haruki quickly took out the skill board.

He tapped the board quickly as if the thing he had pondered about didn't exist.

Growth Acceleration 3

After he finished allocating points, he took out a strange mask from his bag.

He didn't know what kind of magical tool the mask is.

But from now on is a crucial time.

In the one-to-many battle, he wanted to raise his defence power even a little.

He attached the mask to his face without thinking about curses.

As he attached the mask, it stuck to Haruki's skin in response.

After he confirmed the stability of the mask, Haruki instantly plunged in.

His acceleration was beyond imagination.

The edge of his sight was blurred.

One second felt longer.

As he took a stance while holding the dagger, Haruki forced himself into the crowd of Killer Rabbits.

Almost at the same time, the Killer Rabbits jumped at the girl.

At that moment.

*Crash*

A shock, like a large dump truck thrusting with an accelerator, struck the whole body of Haruki.

However, Haruki's momentum never lost to Killer Rabbits' attack.

The collision between the two momentums took place roughly between the girls and the crowd of Killer Rabbits.

Killer Rabbits that he faced flew into the air.

* Explosion *

*Smash*

The pieces of flesh from the former Kill Rabbits splashed down to the head of the flock.

On the other hand, even though Haruki received such an impact, his body only received little damage.

Just because he defeated several Killer Rabbits, his whole body's temperature raised.

His head was dizzy and it felt dull and painful like being tightened.

'......this is level up sickness.'

"Woooooooooo!"

'However, I have no time to feel sick.'

Haruki handled his level-up sickness with enough willpower.

'My body can move.'

'The damage I received was small.'

'I understand how to attack.'

'............I can do it!'

Killer Rabbits that stood in the back row frenzied because of Haruki's intrusion.

'The target moves.'

Haruki s.h.i.+vered his spine when he faced the red eyes all at once.

Haruki was fixed at his target.

At the same time, Haruki moved.

He cut it with a dropkick by using a dagger, and those that attacked him from behind were knocked off with their back fist.

Even though the mask was covering his face, his visibility didn't change.

The backside of his mask felt like it was transparent.

'My breathing is smooth.'

'It doesn't feel stiff.'

'It may be a mask with such functions.'

'I don't feel anything when wearing it.'

'I nearly forgot that I'm wearing it.'

While being exposed to Killer Rabbits' fierce attacks, Harumi was convinced.

'I can survive as long as I'm careful.'

'The possibility of that occurring is one in ten thousand,

or maybe one in one billion.'

'But the path to survival clearly s.h.i.+nes in the distance.'

'It was good even if Haruki struggle to reach it.'

'That's why I need to observe.'

'I have to understand everything my opponents have. '

'I can't miss even one sign.'

'Don't get hit.'

'I need to overcome the opponent's strength!

'Adrenaline heats up my body.'

'My heart beats violently, hitting my chest.'

'My body is light!'

Haruki who was far from being afraid of one-to-many circ.u.mstances began to smile.

Like a fish that met water.

"Now, let's start the adventure!"

'This is an adventure.'

'It's a challenge that put my life on the line.'

'What I will secure is power, the girl's life,

and my own honour.'

'If I lose, I will completely lose my life from now on.'

'I can't find the balance at all.'

'But, that is an adventure.'

An adventure is a fool's games to seek the unknown.

It followed the sage practice, he would still convince even if he lost his life.

'Now I'll take everything you have!'

'So, expose everything you have to me.'

'Reveal it, be my nourishment!!'

He kicked up monsters that attacked from his feet.

Or he stepped to avoid it.

'My movement is totally different.'

'My strength is also different.'

'My body can move as I desire.'

'It has been strengthened beyond imagination.'

Haruki finally understood the greatness of the skill board's growth acceleration that he could not experience before.

He blew Kill Rabbit with a fist.

He could easily avoid its attacks.

Using a dagger, he cut its body like a paper.

'It is 1 point.'

With only one point, Haruki's ability leaped like a different person.

'The change is too much so it feels disgusting and terrifying.' 

Normally, Haruki without a doubt would frown.

But now, his consciousness was only directed to defeat the Killer Rabbits in front of him.

......no, Haruki laughed while adventuring.

Haruki couldn't forgive those Killer Rabbits that was tried to surround him.

If he let them pa.s.s, the girl behind him would be attacked.

He didn't know the extent of the girl's abilities.

Because until now she hasn't moved, he predicted she wasn't a strong adventurer.

'......no,' Haruki was moving while a.s.suming the worst.

In order to avoid being surrounded, Haruki moved his body largely to the left and to the right.

It was like a game.

It was clear if he could prevent enemy's barrage.

It was a game over if it could cross to the side.

Because such an image came into his mind, Haruki's movement was getting sharper and steadier.

'I will definitely not let you pa.s.s through here!'

When Haruki noticed it, a sound came from his throat.

"Hahahaha", he was laughing.
