Floor Boss
The next day, we headed to the 33rd level boss's room.
For now, the lineup is like this.
Reinhard takes the lead role as a shield,
Kenji and I will follow behind.
Shiro is in the middle, protecting the rear guard while also supporting the vanguard.
Anastasia and Mina in the rear guard are responsible for magic attacks and managing the HP and MP of the entire party.
With the arrival of [Falcon Claw], it seems that we no longer have a blind spot.
After all, a shield is necessary for boss battles.
Usually, I use Ori Hime and Shiro to avoid enemy attacks.
I felt a little sorry to use Ori Hime and Shiro as my shields because they are my dear companions, but with Reinhard, there is no problem.
Reinhard seems to think that I'm his best friend or something, but even if I dig up my memories, I don't remember talking to Reinhard much.
So, we arrived in front of the floor boss's room and finally opened the door.
"Then open the door!"
I asked Reinhard to take the lead.
"Yeah! Well then, let's open it!"
Creaaak*~.
The door makes an unpleasant sound, as if it is rarely opened.
"It’s nothing compared to the unpleasant voice that Master made when he was a skeleton!"
Shiro gives a dissing compliment.
"That's right. Even with the magic that nullified status abnormalities, that voice was very unpleasant. I don't think anyone can beat that unpleasant scream!"
Even Anastasia gets on board with Shiro's compliment.
"As expected of Ced-nii!"
The current trend is toward dissing and praising, but Kenji, the idiot, is only praising me.
Well, I don't think Kenji can talk down to me because he loves me too much.
When Reinhard opened the solid door, the room was filled with luxurious sofas and desks, making it look like a room where a noble lived.
And on that luxurious and glittering sofa, a well-dressed, pale-faced gentleman wearing a tailcoat is sitting elegantly drinking tea.
He looks like he's around 30 years old, with all-back black hair and a well-shaped face.
The devil's unique arrow tail grows from its butt.
"Reinhard! Be careful! That guy is a devil!"
I immediately warn Reinhard.
"Really? I've never seen a devil before!"
"I'll cast a spell that makes us immune to abnormal conditions!"
Next, Anastasia casts a spell that makes the entire party immune to abnormal conditions.
Devils are known to be users of dark attribute magic, so when fighting a devil, it is standard practice to cast a spell that makes them resistant to status abnormalities.
Dark attribute magic has no effect on heroes like me and Mina, but it is said in the literature that when someone who has no resistance fights a devil, they will be cast illusion magic or confusion magic and forced to attack each other.
Well, Anastasia may look younger, but on the inside, she's a 72-year-old old hag, so maybe she knew that.
"Oh dear, you just invaded people’s homes without permission and didn’t even say hello?"
"I ain't got no name to give the devil!"
Reinhard says something rude for some reason.
Personally, I think it's okay to just say your name.
It's common sense for working people.
Maybe adventurers aren't members of society?
Well, the adventurers in this world seem to be roughnecks, and in fact, Kenji and I were abandoned children who did all kinds of bad things when we were kids.
It's like the Japanese postwar yakuza......
They were helping to keep the city safe after the war.
By no means different from today's yakuza.
"I heard it. From Surt-san.
It is said that there is a Golden Skeleton in the upper layer that opposes the Demon King.
Maybe you guys are under its control?"
The pale-faced devil doesn't seem to realize that I am the Golden Skeleton, or rather, the former Golden Skeleton is right in front of him.
Yeah. It's better to take advantage of this.
Even if I get screwed by this guy,
[I was just forced to fight because the Golden Skeleton ordered me to do it!]
If I appealed to him desperately, my life might even be saved.
Even if I become a subordinate of the Demon King, as long as I can create my own harem, that's fine.
"Yeah. We are the lowest of the lowest from Golden Skeleton-sama!
Lately, some weak guys who claim to be the Demon King's subordinates have been messing with him a lot, so the Golden Skeleton-sama has ordered us to punish them!
You're really bothering him!"
I tried to give the impression that we were defying the Demon King because we had no choice but to do so under the Golden Skeleton's order.
"We are weak?"
Huh? Did I say it wrong?
Somehow, the Devil-san. He really reacts to the word [weak].
Last time, when the female devil Surt led 10,000 ghosts to attack the log cabin, I was able to defeat her so easily that I had the impression that she was too weak and I couldn't help but call them weak.
The pale-faced devil's shoulders were trembling and he was furious.
Devils are like a noble society, so if they are made fun of by someone they look down upon, their pride may be hurt and they may become more angry than necessary.
Even though he was in front of the enemy, he was relaxing on the sofa and drinking tea. Was that just a way to show that he was relaxed, saying, [I don't show my seriousness to lowly people]?
It might be a little dangerous...
I turn a little pale.
With this anger, even if I beg for my life after losing, it might not save my life.
I need to clear up the misunderstanding soon!
"The one who said you were weak was the Golden Skeleton-sama, not us!
So you don't have to worry about being so weak, do you?"
"Youーー!"
Just like this, the boss battle began.
