What kind of patient is this?Why is she like this???ㄴ If you don't manage your gauges, debuffs stick.Crazy girl, lol.Does it really need to be like this...?ㄴ Our lady believes that life is the game.This is seriously a ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) disease called gaming...
I thought about ambition.
Imagine an unemployed person getting a job, and then getting promoted from there, eventually becoming the highest-ranking person in the company.
With the money earned, they invest, and with success in their investments, they acquire more wealth, and the company grows so successful that they become president. Eventually, everyone worships them and they become a god.
What comes next?
After repeating success and rise to the top, if they become an existence that cannot be surpassed, would they still have any ambition left?
Perhaps that’s why the Creator made humans.
Because there is nothing left to achieve, maybe they created creatures for amusement.
But watching humans live is only interesting for a short time. Eventually, even the Creator would grow tired of it.
If the Creator has no further ambition, wouldn’t they want to show off their powers?

[She won’t fall, lol]
Laura is dancing.
Well, she isn’t exactly dancing, but it looked like she was.
How long she has been doing that, no one knows.
Didn't Laura herself say that if she could land 10,000 hits, she would win?
Even if she hits once per second, it would take over 2 hours and 45 minutes.
So, she's been dancing for a long time, but how much longer she has to dance, who knows?
Because of that, her gauge status must have gotten all messed up.
The anxiety gauge rises the longer you stay in the dungeon. Especially if it's dark around you, and if you witness something terrible, it rises even faster.
Fatigue rises the more intensely you move, and hunger increases the more you act on an empty stomach.
Laura didn’t manage any of that during this battle. Her eyes and ears probably aren’t functioning properly.
Still, she doesn’t budge even a bit.
That might be the power of Aurora, the woman.
"Laura! Are you still not done?!"
Sonarim screamed as if she was yelling.
As the battle between Laura and the Duke of Iris dragged on, monsters started approaching as they heard the sounds.
Sonarim was doing everything she could to hold them off.
"Ha... ha..."
Sonarim panted heavily.
She looked towards Laura, but it didn’t seem like Laura would answer her. She was in that so-called "hardcore gamer" state.
Interrupting Laura’s concentration was unforgivable.
Maybe Sonarim knew that, because she silently crashed her body into the monsters again.
Sonarim’s eyes were starting to look a bit strange as well.
Unlike Laura, she had been managing her gauges to some degree.
Even so, after prolonged combat, Sonarim must not have been able to avoid status abnormalities completely.
She was slowly being pushed back, but she still hadn’t fallen.
Anyway, since Laura had been entrusted with the boss fight, maintaining the front lines was Sonarim’s role.
At least, that’s what Sonarim seemed to think.
That person is really relentless.
But, I think I might understand a little now.
Maybe if you’re as versatile as Laura, you wouldn’t know. But for most people, it’s just not possible to be like that.
No matter how wide your range is, you’ll eventually be surpassed by a real expert, right?
For example, Shiroki Anna is a VTuber who uses ASMR and singing as her main content, but she doesn’t really excel at any particular game.
Right now, the only thing Shiroki Anna could beat Laura at might be ASMR since Laura doesn’t do ASMR.
So, Sonarim too...
She probably thinks the only thing she can do is to hang on with all her might.
A person needs to have at least one thing they believe in.
Even if I might fall short in most genres compared to others, at least this is something I do better than most people.
That one thing makes me special,
and because of that, I become obsessed with it.
"Wow... What is this...?"
They say when you talk about a tiger, it shows up. Anna’s voice echoed.
She came quickly.
"All the monsters were gathered here. No wonder."
Choi Gaho looked around.
Fortunately, he was holding the item that Laura had requested.
It was a sword.
A sword that hadn’t been oiled.
It looked like it had been neglected for a long time, as the blade seemed slightly dulled.
"Vincent and Anna, please stop the monsters."
"Huh?! Me? It was hard enough just to get here...!"
"If not, we all die."
Choi Gaho gripped the sword and took a stance.
His face was still unremarkable.
You could say he looked like an old man worn down by society. His beard wasn’t properly shaved, and he looked like someone who might have consumed all the nutrients—nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine.
He couldn’t hide the exhaustion in his face, but despite the serious situation, he felt strangely detached.
Still, his eyes were sharp and cold.
At 30, he could be considered a veteran pro-gamer.
But finding a solution in any situation was his professional mindset.
"I’ll handle it."
He said, determined to take down that monster.
With a strange charisma, Vincent nodded,
and Anna reluctantly walked towards Sonarim.
Hoo.
Choi Gaho exhaled.
He probably planned to end it with a single blow.
That’s the only way to see it.
It’s strange for Laura, who has been enduring against that monster for so long, but most people would be taken down in a single second. Even Barubara was taken down in 20 seconds.
Even if it’s Choi Gaho, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to exchange several moves with the Duke of Iris.
If he aims for something, it would be the brain or the heart.
I think he would aim for one of those vital spots and strike in a single go.
Fortunately, the Duke of Iris’ attack pattern was pretty simple.
This game isn’t an RPG, but focuses on dungeon exploration, so even boss monsters don’t have overly complicated patterns.
Choi Gaho seemed to instantly figure out the Duke’s attack pattern.
In the brief moment when the Duke stopped, he charged──.
"That’s not how you use that sword."
Thwack!
Laura threw her hammer and knocked down Choi Gaho, who was running.
"You’ve never used one of these, have you? A rapier."
Laura picked up the sword—Choi Gaho’s rapier.
Swish.
Laura stepped her left leg back.
It resembled a fencing stance, just slightly.
By turning her body sideways, she reduced her target area.
Though it wasn’t exactly a perfect fencing posture, it was closer to a practical, raw, real combat style.
"Duels."
Laura murmured.
"Only the winner can keep their honor."
Her voice sounded almost nostalgic, like she was remembering the old days.
The atmosphere shifted.
Just moments ago, Laura was in a reckless posture, but now she silently stared at the Duke of Iris.
Her eyes were dull.
Due to her status abnormalities, her vision was impaired, and it seemed unlikely she could see that monster clearly.
However, her gaze was like a predator waiting for its prey, or a fisherman waiting for a bite──it was the look of a true competitor.
From the Duke of Iris’ body, countless tentacles shot out.
It was a pattern she was already familiar with.
She had been waiting for her opponent to act.
Slash!
Laura ran forward.
With a quick swing of the sword, the tentacles were cleanly severed.
The ones she didn’t cut were evaded simply by her speed.
In an instant, Laura closed the distance between herself and the Duke of Iris.
[Ghraaaa──!!]
The enraged Duke of Iris swung its heavy arm.
While the soft tentacles could be cut, that massive arm wouldn’t be.
That’s because Laura was using a rapier.
A rapier is long, thin, and very sharp.
In other words, it’s optimized for stabbing, not slashing.
So, if the swords clashed, the rapier would be pushed back.
If she swung it carelessly, the rapier could even break.
Thus, Laura couldn’t rely on swinging the rapier.
Instead, she simply—
"Sora."
She called the name.
"I got it."
Sora, who had been hanging from the ceiling lights the whole time, jumped down.
The intense feeling of weightlessness.
And then came the strong rebound from her stomach.
"Ugh!"
Sora let out an involuntary groan.
She hadn’t jumped down recklessly.
While Laura was busy fighting, Sora had been preparing the rope.
Originally used for climbing, Sora had kept it just in case.
She split the rope into two and tied one part to her waist.
She hadn’t brought harness equipment, so the intense pressure on her stomach was unavoidable.
'Focus...!'
Her vision was shaking as if she might get dizzy.
Barubara had saved her.
She had hidden on the ceiling when the Duke of Iris chased her.
Even while Laura and Narim were fighting, she had been holding her breath.
All of this for this single moment.
That’s why no mistake was allowed.
Amid her spinning vision, Sora wrapped the rope around the Duke of Iris’ neck.
[───!]
A test of strength.
Sora pulled the rope.
Sadly, she didn’t have any special powers.
Being an ordinary human from the start,
she could only desperately choke, clumsily.
It was awkward, but there was no other choice.
After all, humans ultimately pray to the gods.
God, please guide us.
God, please protect us.
God, show us your power.
She whispered to herself.
Thrust!
Laura leapt.
She stepped on the Duke’s outstretched arm
and pierced the rapier into its body.
One blow.
But that one blow was full of intricate techniques.
And yet, the attack didn’t feel heavy at all.
It was as though the rapier was part of her body.
Though the depth was unmeasurable, one thing became clear.
To perfect that strike, Laura must have spent countless years.
Sora realized it.
Slash!
Fresh blood splattered.
【Labyrinthos: Dungeon Seeker Gallery】
[General] Looks like the gallery master found something new
(Screenshot of Sword Master Aurora)
"Aah, this cool and heavy sensation."
"It’s time to return as Sword Master Aurora."
(Screenshot)
At the very back of the underground prison, there’s a place where a ton of corpses are piled up.
If you go right from there, there’s a sword lying around.
【Someone’s Sword】
【A sword someone lost in the Duke of Iris’ basement.】
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
【This sword took the Duke of Iris’ life and eliminated the ancient demon.】
【It seems this sword is waiting for its owner, who ended the Duke of Iris’ lineage.】
The gallery master used this to kill the revived Duke.
After testing it out, it deals critical hits and adds additional damage against the revived Duke.
The exact damage still needs more research.
