The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me

That feeling of Rifreya-sama wanting to be together with him as much as possible reached even me. So cute.

Or more like, Hikaru is beginning to look like a brusque boyfriend.

Alex is properly using the guild often, and most if not all the information of the dungeon has been displayed. They are called dungeon explorers, but the reality is that almost all of the floors up to the 5th Floor have been completely explored.

The real explorers are diving the 6th Floor or lower, and they are apparently a real low percent.

Most of the explorers are more like just monster hunters rather than explorers.

Or more like, is Hikaru going to be dungeon diving? Now?

Also, since you become stronger by fighting monsters, there’s benefits in the future.

Isn’t it simply because he is trying to dive alone? The fact that he is keeping it a secret from Rifreya must mean that he is most likely going to be doing something unreasonable.

Even Alex in a party of 3 is having decent difficulties with it.

Both of them are Chosen, so I don’t think there’s that much of a gap between the strength of Alex and Hikaru.

He may be the Great Dark Mage, but there’s limits.

He might be okay if he stays hidden in the darkness the whole time though.

But in terms of viewers, that’s not so fun to watch.

Moreover, what’s dangerous is that he hasn’t investigated beforehand.

There’s the Treant that camouflages ingeniously or the Gremlin that can use Spirit Abilities.

There’s even Ghouls that can paralyze you if you get bitten.

Paralysis is really bad news.

If you get hit by that when alone, it is without doubt game over.

If he were to encounter 2 Trolls, he would no doubt die.

He does have his trump card that is Create Undead, and that’s actually super strong.

If I remember correctly, he still has the stone of the Mantis, so when push comes to shove, maybe he plans on resolving it with that?

-716: Anonymous from Earth

He obviously is strong if he were to call the Mantis, but just because you manage to overcome one battle…

-717: Anonymous from Earth

He may be able to use Dark Spirit Abilities on a high level, his weapon is that shortsword, right?

There’s a reason why Rifreya-sama uses that obscenely big weapon. Using a shortsword on goblins and orcs would be one thing, but it would be plain reckless in the 3rd Floor.

If a Garden Panther shows up, he is definitely dying…

Darkness doesn’t show well on the screen, so I guess it should be okay.

Hikaru has only defeated Goblins and Orcs in the 2nd Floor. He only began fighting Ogres when he met Rifreya, and the Mantis was defeated after Rifreya had weakened it.

That’s why we didn’t understand his potential in solo battles.

Compared to Rifreya, he has weak physical strength, and he does give the impression that he is weak, so that’s why we thought that going down to the 3rd Floor was nothing but suicidal.

His abilities are strong and Create Undead can serve as a trump card. Even so, if the person himself is weak, it would only serve to buy time. But what do we get after opening the lid? To think we would be witnessing the arrival of a warrior on the same level or higher than Jeanne here! I was seriously trembling there!!
