The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 136

Title: Facing the Monster Rex

The 17th Floor, the Rear.

Under the soft sound of footsteps, the corridors gradually merged into one, and the cave became incredibly wide, allowing more than ten people to pass through at the same time.

“I’m sorry.”

In the quiet atmosphere, an apology came from the front.

“I got you involved this time. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have to take risks with me.”

Hoshiharu was walking in front.

His voice reached the ears of the two people behind him through the swirling wind in the dungeon.

Line couldn’t help but look surprised.

Would he really apologize?

After spending days together, her impression of Hoshiharu was that he was a handsome young man who enjoyed talking about bad things.

“Please stop, Hoshiharu-san.”

Lefiya suddenly spoke up and stopped Hoshiharu’s steps.

She immediately ran to him, extended her hand, and firmly patted Hoshiharu on the shoulder, her face showing a seriousness that had never been seen before.

“Familia exists for moments like this!”

“Didn’t Hoshiharu-san save me several times? So how could I leave Hoshiharu-san? After all, it means nothing if Familia comrades can’t share joys and sorrows together!”

A Familia is a family.

Comrades are Familia.

This is what the gods advocate.

The children in the mortal world also admire this form of existence and happily become members of Familia, perfectly interpreting the will of the gods.

“I think so too.”

Line echoed.

Unexpectedly, Lefiya, who was usually quiet, could be very talkative in critical moments.

“...I understand the reason.”

Hoshiharu nodded without expression, indicating that he understood.

“But can you take your hand off me? My shoulder hurts a little.”

“Ah! Sorry, sorry, sorry, I got too excited...”

Lefiya was startled and immediately withdrew her hand, bowing to Hoshiharu and apologizing profusely.

“Really...”

Hoshiharu moved his shoulder and bared his teeth.

Even though his physical strength had increased more than two or three times compared to the beginning, it still hurt when he was hit with full force by a Level 3 adventurer.

“Line, how many potions are in the bag?”

“Let me see... two Recovery Potions, one Mental Power Recovery Potion, three Advanced Recovery Potions, and one Elixir, that’s it.”

Line counted the potions in her backpack and answered Hoshiharu’s question.

“Give me all the Mental Power Recovery Potion, Advanced Recovery Potion, and Elixir.”

Hoshiharu appeared very calm and looked exactly the same as before.

“No problem, but what do you want to do?”

“Just give them to me.”

Line took out the remaining potions from her backpack and handed them all to him.

Hoshiharu took the potions.

He put the Mental Power Recovery Potion and Advanced Recovery Potion into his leg pouch, and placed the Elixir in his waist pouch.

“Let’s go.”

❀❀❀

They walked for another two minutes on the only wide remaining road.

A large, long stone room caught the attention of several people.

It was a very bright stone room, with countless glowing lamps scattered on the ceiling and walls, shining like daylight.

The stone room was about 20 meters high and over 200 meters long. Only the right wall on both sides was uneven like a cave, but the left wall was not protruding and as smooth as a mirror.

“Whew, the giant wall... Luckily, the Floor Boss hasn’t been born yet!”

Line looked at the smooth wall about ten meters high and saw that there were no monsters in the stone room. Then she sighed in relief, and her face showed deep joy.

“Let’s hurry there!”

“Mm!”

Lefiya responded happily.

As long as they entered the 18th Floor and found a way to inform Familia, they would be saved.

“You go first.” Said Hoshiharu.

At this moment, he suddenly made a sound, urging the two of them to go ahead first, without any fluctuation in expression on his face.

“What if we go first?”

Line looked at him in disbelief, her eyes full of confusion, “Isn’t there no Floor Boss? Why don’t we go together?”

“Are you afraid?”

Lefiya looked at him with suspicious eyes and deliberately made a disdainful expression on her face.

“Sorry, the only thing I don’t know in this life is fear!”

Hoshiharu lifted his head, then waved his hand, “I’ll let you go first, so go ahead, enough with the nonsense, hurry up!”

“What kind of broadcast is that...” Lefiya murmured.

Hoshiharu had just apologized to them earnestly, but now he had become very impatient.

“Then let’s go first.”

Line also looked confused, but seeing that Hoshiharu was unwilling to explain further, she didn’t ask anymore.

With trust in their friend and Familia, the two girls held hands and quickly ran toward the narrow corridor about two meters high on the other side of the stone room.

Hoshiharu turned and stared at the smooth wall, sighing deeply.

“Come!”

Nothing happened for a long time.

Line and Lefiya quickly walked to the corridor entrance and waved to Hoshiharu from two hundred meters away.

“Enter that corridor!”

Hoshiharu didn’t look relaxed at all and shouted to both of them from a distance.

The two girls on the other side were confused, but they still did as ordered, and they all walked into the slope in the corridor.

“That’s good.”

Hoshiharu took a long, deep breath.

Under the condition of strong mental focus, his rapidly beating heart gradually reduced its frequency, allowing him to regain calmness. Water.

“Gulp~!”

Hoshiharu took out the only Mental Power Recovery Potion from his leg pouch. After uncorking it, he poured all the potion into his mouth, making his cheeks puff up like a hamster.

Then, he took one step and walked into the large stone room without hesitation.

Sharp, rhythmic footsteps echoed through the dead white stone room.

Step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

One meter.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Gradually approaching one hundred meters.

Hoshiharu walked to the center of the stone room.

Lefiya and Line were in the opposite corridor, looking back at him. Line shouted for him to hurry and rush, while Lefiya mocked his hamster-like face.

For a moment, at the time when no one reacted—

*Crack*

A sharp crack appeared on the wall.

The sound and abnormality were so conspicuous that even Lefiya and Line could clearly see the crack gradually extending downward on the wall.

In the blink of an eye, the wall collapsed along the midline.

Under the horrified gazes of the two girls, a huge figure emerged from the wall.

Then, it lifted its large palm, which was several times larger than a cattail fan, and slammed down from the sky like a flyswatter, furiously smacking Hoshiharu’s position.

Hoshiharu raised his head and stared at the giant palm descending from the sky. His expression was still cold, but his eyes were sharp.

*BOOM*
