Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 327 Goliath part 1

Early morning, everyone is gathered around the fireplace with Hestia and Kisuke standing in the middle.

With everyone looking at him, Kisuke feigns a cough and started speaking, “Ehem… Well then. Yoruichi, Kuroka, Medusa, and I will be going deeper into the Dungeon and we’ll probably stay there for a few days. So for the three of you, limit yourself until the 12th floor only. Better yet, stay on the 7th floor and try defending yourselves from the siege of Killer Ants for as long as possible. That way, you can train your endurance and the way you manage your reserves in a drawn-out battle.”

The three nodded at him as they also think that is for the best. The 15th floor is still too dangerous for them especially when the Dungeon suddenly spawns multiple monsters around them.

Done with what he had to say to the three, Kisuke then faced Hestia and passed her a booklet, “Hestia-sama, please take care of the shop in our absence.” Written inside it is Urahara Shop’s snack merchandise along with its prices ranging from 10-50 Valis.

“Hmm… Even if you gave me this, I don’t know most of this and won’t be able to tell apart your snacks…” Hestia scratches her head as she looks at the list.

“No worries. I already put labels on everything on the shop so you just have to consult the list for the price and handling method.”

“Alright~. I’ll take care of your shop.”

“Great.” Kisuke then picked up the bags they are going to carry. It only contains some food and potions as it only serves as a disguise. It would be incredibly suspicious if they aren’t carrying anything if they’re on the deeper floors, “We’ll leave now.”

Sona also stood up and approached Kisuke, “Take care…” She then leaned forward to give him a quick peck on his lips before separating with him with a small smile and blushing face, “I want to get another one after you returned.”

Kisuke was a bit startled but he only chuckled and patted her head, “Okay~.”

Aika and Koneko both pouted their mouths as they also want a goodbye kiss, but they knew that both of their relationship with him is not yet at the level where they could ask the same from Kisuke.

Arriving at the Dungeon, Kisuke and the rest first rushed towards the 12th floor where the mist is very thick. They then immediately find a spot where there are no eyes on them before Kisuke distributed a black cloak and white mask to everyone to wear, “Hiding our identity is a must as we’re just Level 1s. If someone out there managed to recognize us, we would be in a lot of trouble that is a pain to deal with.”

Wearing everything, Medusa then spoke up, “What floor should we start, master.” But as she finished her sentence, she was shocked that her voice became muffled and unrecognizable.

“It’s that mask’s sole function. It’s a basic thing but it’s pretty effective.” Kisuke explained, “For now, let’s go down to the 18th floor safe zone and see what’s in there.”

Since everyone already memorized the map until 50th floor that Yoruichi and Kuroka got during their investigation and infiltration, they moved, following the shortest path that will lead them to the 18th floor, including the holes in the floor that goes straight down.

It wasn’t long until they reached the 17th floor where the Monster Rex, Goliath spawns and stopped in front of its entrance, “Say… Why don’t we deal with Goliath… The Loki Familia is the one that is supposed to deal with that boss-type monster, but it doesn’t hurt to kill it ourselves.” Yoruichi suggested after seeing a big crack on the wide 17th floor. If anyone passes through that, the Goliath will suddenly come out of it.

‘It’ll be hard for us to actually damage, more so, to actually kill it if we’re just going to rely on our current basic abilities… But it should be fun~.’ Kisuke thought before agreeing with Yoruichi, “Yosh~! Let’s do it!”

“Are you sure, nya?” Kuroka asked in concern. The Goliath doesn’t stand a chance against even one of them, but that is if release their powers. And she didn’t really want to break that rule early in their exploration. It feels like she would lose.

“It’s fine. If we can’t kill it, we retreat.” Kisuke answered her while taking out several long swords and strapping it on his back. In total, Kisuke is now carrying 10 swords.

“What is that for?” Medusa asked curiously.

“For killing it~.”

Yoruichi guess what he’s planning and asked for long swords too, “Give me five~!”

Kisuke gave Yoruichi five swords and asked the two other girls if they want it too. But both of them refused as it’ll only hinder their mobility if they’re carrying something that heavy. They also don’t understand how they would use it against the gigantic monster.

After their preparations, they stepped into the 17th floor and the whole floor started shaking while the cracked walls also started crumbling down, revealing the Monster Rex of the 17th Floor. It is a humanoid type of monster, has a large body that reaches seven meters and has gray skin.

With a roar, the Goliath spotted and charged towards the group. The Goliath then swung its large arm towards them, prompting the group to separate in different directions. The first one to make a move is Kuroka. Using Youjutsu, she summoned multiple white balls of flames and launches it towards the monster’s face. However, the moment it hit, it didn’t do anything aside from leaving a few burn marks on its skin.

Despite its ineffectiveness, Kuroka managed to catch its attention which is her goal from the start.

Unknown to it, Yoruichi and Kisuke already sneaked behind it and both of them slashed the back of its knees. But despite getting a free shot, they only left a small cut on its skin and Kisuke and Yoruichi decided to retreat. They both looked at their swords and saw that there are some nicks on the blade of the sword, “That guy’s skin is a lot tougher than I thought.” Yoruichi muttered.

“Well, it won’t be a boss monster if that is capable of slaying a group of Level 3s if it can be dealt with Level 1 stats,” Kisuke replied and pulled another sword from his back.

However, this disadvantage only added fuel to the flames in the group’s heart. Even though they can’t let loose, the adrenaline in a fight like this makes them happy. They, who grew up in the battlefields, want peace and the safety of those important to them. But they also don’t mind excitements like this from time to time.
