"You don't need to specifically show it to me. If you feel like you need more practice, then … "
Before Seiji could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed something and looked up.
Seeing him like this, Mika followed his line of sight and saw a large wave of creatures approaching!
These were small fish with white torsos. They had several long, semi-transparent red fins and were swimming towards them in a large group. There were so many of them.
These fish creatures didn't appear to be scary individually. Compared to the other creatures here, they were the most ordinary. However, there were so many of them that it was frightening!
It would be bad if they were surrounded and attacked.
"Let's hurry and leave!" Seiji told Mika.
The two of them immediately started running … no, Seiji started running, while Mika started gliding and speedily left the area.
They continued moving forward, occasionally dealing with small monsters that jumped out to block their way. Not long after, they arrived at a spacious area where they saw a gigantic creature with a crocodile upper body.
"This is …" Seiji recognized this as the large monster that he had fought against earlier!
This crocodile monster was heavily injured and had lost many tentacles on its lower body. It opened its mouth and roared at Seiji before viciously attacking him!!
Seiji dodged and cast [Evolved Body-strengthening technique] on himself as he raised his sword and shield.
Mika also dodged the attack by gliding at high speed. She then created mist from her Mashiro's Clothes and counterattacked from the side.
The crocodile monster furiously attacked the two of them!
Seiji kept slashing at the crocodile monster while also letting Mika deal with the enemy so that she could gain more combat experience.
After a fierce battle between monster hunters, the crocodile monster finally collapsed.
Mika immediately absorbed the thick mist that the crocodile monster transformed into and gathered it on her Mashiro's Clothes. It seemed that she had excellent control over the mist.
"This is the creature that I fought against before I found you." Seiji looked around at the path. "We've taken a detour … from a path that didn't exist before."
"A path that didn't exist before?" Mika was surprised to hear this.
"Yeah, when I passed by here before, I didn't see this path." Seiji pointed at the path that they had taken. "It would seem that the paths here change."
"It'll change … then how are we supposed to find our way?" Mika asked worriedly.
"That is indeed a problem, but perhaps we don't have to worry about it." Seiji rubbed his chin. "We need to kill all the powerful creatures, and this path made us come back. This means that it wants us to encounter powerful creatures, which is the same as our goal."
"Or in other words, this place will force people to meet big monsters, and they can only leave after killing all of them."
There was no other way for him and Mika to leave the Inner World apart from killing powerful creatures.
The two of them continued to attack.
The third powerful creature they encountered was a gigantic sea urchin monster!
The black spikes that it shot out were quite threatening. Its attack power was very high, and its attack range was also very large. It would be very dangerous to fight with it.
Seiji attracted its firepower from the front while Mika waited for the right moment to use her Dimension Shattering Jade to finish it off in one hit!
The fourth powerful creature appeared to be a hybrid between a crab and a shrimp. It had a tough shell and sharp pincers. It could even spit out explosive bubbles!
Not only did it have high attack and defense power, it was also incredibly fast. Seiji was almost caught between its pincers.
Luckily, its attack range wasn't too large, so there was plenty of space for them to dodge. The two of them fought fiercely against this crab and prawn monster. They managed to cut off most of its limbs and killed it.
After that …
Seiji and Mika faintly heard the sound of battle coming from up ahead!
There were other people here!?
The two of them exchanged glances.
"I thought that there was no one else here, but that doesn't seem to be the case."
"What should we do?" Mika asked.
This wasn't the real world. It was a mysterious dimension. And, there was a rule that stated that as long as one person died, everyone else would be able to leave this dimension. There was a risk in meeting strangers.
Seiji thought about it for a moment.
"After we get closer, I'll go check out the situation first. You stay behind and wait for me."
"Why?"
"Because there might be a conflict."
"I can fight as well," Mika told him in a serious tone.
"I know, but you still don't have any experience fighting against others."
"Just recently, I didn't have any experience fighting against gigantic monsters either …"
"That's different."
"Why is it different?"
"Monsters are monsters, and humans are humans," Seiji told her. "Can you really treat a human as a monster?"
Mika remained silent.
"… On the other hand, this is also keeping one of my trump cards." Seiji looked at her. "If there really is a conflict and I need backup, I'll call for you. I'll rely on you then."
Mika's eyes flashed.
The two of them headed in the direction of the sound.
When they were close enough, Seiji told Mika to stop while he cautiously continued approaching.
And then, he saw a dog-headed person and a minotaur engaged in a fierce battle against a large sea turtle monster!
To be more precise, there was a female Spiritual Ability user wearing a dog head mask and pitch-black Sakura Island style combat uniform wielding a blue spiritual sword. There was a male Spiritual Ability user wearing a bull head mask and a gray Sakura Island style combat uniform wielding a red spiritual sword. The male Spiritual Ability user was currently fighting against a powerful creature that resembled a giant sea turtle that had strange plants growing on its back.
A dog, a minotaur, and a turtle … this was quite an abnormal scene.
Seiji silently observed them.
Although this male and female duo's head masks made him want to comment on them, they were obviously incredibly strong.
They almost completely avoided the large sea turtle monster's attacks. If they didn't dodge, they easily neutralized the attacks with their swords. As they fought, they would take advantage of the openings and slash at the sea turtle monster's body. And, the female would slash here, while the male would slash there. They took turns slashing at the sea turtle monster's gigantic body.
Seiji observed for a while. He felt that rather than saying that they were fighting, it would be more accurate to say that they were dancing or even playing a game.
'Two powerful strange individuals …' Seiji came to this conclusion from his observations. He then silently retreated.
He returned to Mika's side and told her about what he had seen.
"I think that it's best not to interact with those two people. Let's take a different path."
"Yeah."
Seiji and Mika turned around and took a different path.
They didn't get far before they heard muffled screams of pain. Right after that, the sounds of battle stopped.
"They killed that powerful creature … let's hurry and leave."
Seiji and Mika increased their speed.
But just a few seconds later, they heard sounds rapidly approaching them from behind!
Seiji and Mika both turned around to see that the dog-headed woman and minotaur head mask boy were running towards them at an astonishing speed!!
This scene gave them a mysterious sense of pressure.
"Seiji …" Mika had a nervous expression.
'So fast!'
Just as Seiji was wondering if he should run away at full speed, the two of them suddenly sped up and instantly caught up to him!!
"Mei … Sixth Knight, come behind me!"
Right before he reflexively said Mika's name, he hurriedly changed his mind and used a codename instead.
Seiji stopped in his tracks and cautiously protected his companion with his sword and shield while facing these strange strangers.
The dog-headed woman stood on the left, while the minotaur head mask boy stood on the right. They looked at the handsome boy and silver-haired beauty.
