Now then, I’m currently standing in front of perhaps the so-called boss room. It was truly a long journey.
It really took quite some time as I had lost my way and occasionally encountered monsters and other players… The treasure chests only had shabby items and turned out they were mimics….
Should I log out once after the boss battle is over? Will my karma value be removed at the inn? Could I use my camouflage skill? That is why, I had picked up the 《Friendship》 skill, actively communicated with my followers and raised our levels to anticipate these kind of things. It’s good if it turns out just fine……
Rena: 「Well then everyone, our next opponent will be the boss, are all of you ready?」
(Yamada) 『－－－－!』(Kageyama) 『Uuu!』
(Azabu) 『……! (*Bassa bassa*!)』
(Santa) 『Gaa!』
(Inoue) 『Iiii!』
They seem to be fine, I see.
Let’s also do a final check on my status before I try to challenge the boss.

It will be a boss battle from now on and I have also equipped other equipments that were dropped besides the light armor which is being possessed by Inoue-san. I’m a little bit uneasy if I’m only wearing my initial equipment for the battle, you see.
However, as I thought, after killing that much, the dropped equipments were only these things. Is the drop rate that low?
I’m a little anxious when I think that it will be difficult to use the town facilities from now on, but… well, it should be fine if I kill or threaten them and snatch it away, though.
Rather than that, I need to focus on the boss first.
Rena: 「Let’s go…」
I opened the heavy door in front of me and advanced.
The room beyond the door is wider than I thought. the ceiling is also high and I could see caskets hanging on the wall in my view range.
Is this just like the name, Underground tomb, suggests?
Rena: 「Oya?」
There’s something in the middle of the room, yes? Could that be the boss?
It’s a skeleton that has subtle skin and flesh and equipped with a tattered black overcoat and an ominous long sword on its handーーーit started moving, I see…
Entering combat stance.
…………It’s a high level one, I see?
Even if I have followers with me, it’s still substantially called as solo. Hence, it’s better to be prepared for a hard fight… it was good that I had loot some potions from the town (seriously).
Rena: 「Here we go everyone!」
Everyone:「『!!』」
I kept aiming at the boss and charged in. Of course, the skeleton is also attacking with its long sword, though I had managed to evade and tried to aim for its neck, butーーー
Rena: 「Guuh!!」
ーーーit put a knee to my stomach while I was moving my neck to avoid the slashes.
What a blunder.
I used my kick as a momentum to move backwards while throwing some unnecessary things, but… well, it was repelled as expected.
Rena: 「Kicking a girl’s stomach…」
――――――――I will absolutely disassemble you!!!
I charged in again to a point-blank range and my dagger that is on my right hand was stopped from its lower left side. It was blocked by the long sword that was handed over to another hand with a backhand grip and the skeleton did a half turn. I went around to the other side and put a kick on the back of its knee.
Rena: 「Fuh!」
Skeleton: 『－－－－』
*Kakunnn!*
I aimed at its neck when it fell behind while putting its knee in frontーーーbut, it twisted its body and I only managed to slice its thigh.
It had evaded by moving its right leg and tried to turn around and kill me, but I tumbled and dodged it.
―――Dodge and dodge and dodge and dodge.
Our position changed constantly. We waved our blade while dodging each other’s by a thin layer of paper.
I do not know which direction it would come anymore as we kept clashing into each other and strike for fatal hits from left to right.
I lowered my posture for the incoming long sword and plunged my dagger into the skeleton’s flank while sliding around. The skeleton laid back to dodge and switched its weapon to the other hand and swung the sword downーーーthe sword met the blade of the dagger and clashed at the same time as it had scattered sparks of iron.
I moved to an extremely close distance, grabbed the skeleton’s jaw and slammed it against the floorーーーjust before it reach the floor, it tried to somersault but I put a kick on its face alongside Santa-san’s light magic 《Photosphere》 violent explosion.
It looks to be its weak attribute as I thought.
I could now finally gave a valid strike as it seems that this AI didn’t think that I could use magic.
Skeleton: 『……』
I asked Azabu-san to cast wind magic from the skeleton back who is currently on alert and takes a few distance from me.
All of a sudden, the skeleton was blown off as Azabu-san let out 《Gust》 from its behind. From there as well I charged in and carried out a head-to-head collision.
I sliced and cut the skeleton’s waist which was bent from the back, at the same time with Santa-san’s light magic.
I swung my dagger towards its upper body that has fallen to the ground and cut of its arms.
Rena: 「This should be okay from here on out.」
*Katakata!!*
Oya? The lower body and arms that I had cut are still moving? Is it because it’s an undead? Well that’s fine. If it’s coming towards here, I can just disassemble it as I had originally planned before.
First, I grabbed the lower body that was approaching and slammed it to the ground. When it didn’t move to a certain extent, I removed its joints and broke it apart.
As one would expect, it should not move with only one bone.
The lower body has become completely silent just as planned, and I also applied the same treatment to the arms.
Rena: 「Now then, have you prepared yourself?」
Skeleton: 『……』
…………though, I don’t know whether it’s being silent or just couldn’t speak.
For the time being, I removed the bones from its spine one by one.
Hee~ there are also small bones even to this far, I see… This is interesting.
How about we earnestly study about human body? I know how to break it somehow but I don’t know the theory behind it because it was not a major subject for me either.
Wait, the boss’s HP continues to decrease at a tremendous pace when I noticed it. By any chance, is this perhaps also judged as a part of destruction?
If so, how long would it last?
Rena: 「Please do your best to endure it, okay?」
Skeleton: 『－－－－!－－－－!!』
It finally had some kind of reaction, but forgive me…………it won’t be that fun.
Rena: 「Perhaps this is where the spinal cord or cerebrospinal fluid passes? The ribs are not consisted of six bones, I see…」
I continued dismantling while observing it, but it disappeared along the way.
…………Apparently the boss died.
I still wanted to play, but it’s unfortunate……yes, truly unfortunate.
Nevertheless, it might be good to be the first one to conquer this area.
The magic circle that has appeared in the center of the room will transfer me outside.
I will log out for today after I go back to the town and lodge at an inn.
This has been a long time for my first day.
Rena: 「Ah yes, before that…」
Let’s change the color of my hair with the camouflage skill.
This is a precaution as there are a lot of various people who played the game.
At the same time, I moved Azabu-san’s possession from the ordinary cloak to the dark cloak.
Rena: 「This looks alright. Okay, shall we go back?」
I then went to the transfer circle and logged out after staying in an inn at the town.
A merciless hero.
