「It’s dark! ? 《Torch》!」

When I entered, what I saw was… no, not really. It was so dark that I couldn’t see an inch ahead of me; on the contrary, it gave me a mysterious feeling as if I was in another dimension.

Then, I tried to cast 《Torch》, but the range of illumination would be limited to about one meter at most.

「Hmm… This is… Not quite…」

There’s also the idea of increasing the number of 《Torch》, but I’m not going to do that because even if I were to take out several at once, I’d lose a ridiculous amount of MP even if I consumed just one per second.

If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to get to the boss room and would die instead.

――Gakin!

「Uhya! ?」

Suddenly, I felt a touch on my ankle, and when I looked, I saw a black ant that I couldn’t see unless I looked closely, gnawing at my ankle.

「Uwa! You scared me! Terya! 《Thunderbolt》!」

――Bachin!

I kick it into the air and unleash my magic. It’s hard to tell in the dark, but I guess I defeated it because I got a log… Well, I don’t know where the body went…

――Ki!

「U~ea! ?」

As I screamed I couldn’t understand what was going on, but this time I felt something on my neck, so I touched it and saw that there was a lump of something stuck in my neck.

「Ku…」

They all only do 5 damage, but mentally these attacks are hard. I wish I could stop them, but I can’t――

――Gakin! !

「What now――! ?」

The battle against Darkness Ant Queen. In conclusion, I won. Darkness was a superior version of Dark, but the essence of being an assassin under the cover of darkness hadn’t changed, so I beat it with the 《Thunder Field》 and 《Thunder Strike》 combo.

The treasure, by the way, was the Jewel of Deep Darkness.

Next is Shine, the opposite of Darkness.

The light was flooding in from the side hole of shine, and it was blinding. I can see properly, but in some cases it might be worse than pitch black.

Because my eyes are hurting…

So I proceeded to make a sunshade with my hands. This one is also more tough than Light, of course, since it’s a superior version of it… Especially the damage to my eyes…

「Kisha!」

――Byuuun… Juvu! !

「It’s so bright… Hot!」

The main means of attack for the ants here is heat rays. I was so dazzled that I quickly crouched down and just barely avoided it, but I couldn’t avoid the heat and took 2 damage.

「《Thunder Field Burst》!」

――Buuuuuun… Dogogogogogogooooooon! ! !

I used 《Magic Manipulation》 to combine the two. It’s a two-stage attack that combines the wide range weak attack of 《Thunder Field》 and the wide range attack of 《Thunder Burst》, and it automatically hits the enemy even if you can’t see it. But it doesn’t work as an ambush, so be careful with that!

「Oh, is it here? Is this it? ?」

I finally arrived at what looked like a large hall. It was too bright to see, so I couldn’t tell how big it was.

「Kisha」

「Hn?」

――Byiiiiin! ! Juuuuu… ! !

「Aga! ? Āāaaaaaaaaaaa! ? ! ? ! ?」

Ryoka is pierced head-on by an extremely thick beam of light.

Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! ! Hot! !

The damage is 100, and it’s critical. Almost half of the damage is absorbed at once, but I’m still okay. But the pain is still there… And heat, of course. The Shine Ant Queen, who fired an extremely thick beam of light at me as soon as I met it. As for me, well…

「Guuuuuuuu! ! ! ! I’ll never forgive you! 《Thunder Field Strike》! !」

――Buuuuuun… Dogooooooooon! !

「Kisha――! ?」

This is an attack where the attack power is maximized in one blow.

――There was the dead body of the queen, the light fading.
