I fired my precious flame bombs.
　I fired to get some light--so I fired, but I didn't see any flames.

　No, I did see flames.
　A faint feeling of heat could be felt.
　There was heat, but it didn't turn into light.

　This is--.

Ugh!

　Without being able to grasp the situation, he was hit in the back of the head with a thud!　I was shocked.
　My eyes flickered in front of me and I almost fell forward.
　I stepped back just in time and turned around and released a back fist to pay it off.

　Nothing hit me, there was no response.

　As I tried to regain my crumbling posture, this time I felt a shock to my side.
　I stepped down goofily - three times.
　I fought back the moment the impact came to my side.

'Fast!'

　A counter-punch cut through the air.

　From the first surprise strike, he decided on the second and waited for the third.
　It was a counter-attack, waiting and waiting, but it missed without grazing at all.

'It's speed for speed's sake,'

　I fired an accelerator round at myself.
　A higher level acceleration round, loaded with vanadium bullets.
　I enter the super-accelerated world and wait.

　I keep my nerves on edge in the darkness so that I don't miss even the slightest anomaly.

　Then, this time it came to my shoulder.
　I'm accelerating, so it's almost a "touch" on my part.
　I don't miss it and unleash a counter-punch.

'--Na!

　The punches cut through the air.
　It cut through the sky with no response at all, but the attack on us continued.
　The sensation gradually increases and the pain increases.

　The acceleration ended, and we returned to normal.
　The blows pinged again.

'A long-range attack?'

　While fighting it, I think back to what happened during the acceleration.

　I fought back the moment it hit.
　Normally, it would have been a clean counter.
　And yet, if there is no response, it's probably because it's not there.

　The same is true of the lack of response at all.

　There are two kinds of cases where there is no response.

　There's really nothing, and there's nothing.
　And there is no sensation that the damage has gone through, although you can feel it.

　There are two kinds of damage.

　This time I couldn't even feel a touch of something.

　Moreover, it's this darkness.

　It is probably true that the attacker isn't there.

　When it comes to long-range attacks, it's quite tricky.
　An invisible opponent attacked us from a long distance, and from a completely unknown direction.

　Even now, attacks are coming from various directions.

　It's too much trouble.

　It's time to retreat.
　We're in the clear, let's get out of here.

　It's so dark that you can't even see your fingertips, so to speak.
　I have the ability to understand the structure of the dungeon.

　I'll use it to escape.

　I've got a mini-map in my brain, as usual, and I start walking with that map as my guide.
　First the stairs, then the upper floor, and then the transporter gate to get back to the mansion.
　That's what I thought, and I walked out, guardedly .......

'No progress?'

　I noticed immediately that something was wrong.
　I walked and walked, but I wasn't making any progress from the mini-map in my brain to my current location.
　What's going on?　While I was thinking "I'm not sure what to do", the attacks kept coming one after another.
　I'm a full-strength SS, and although I don't do a lot of damage, the one-sided attacks accumulate damage.

　More than anything else, the attacks are so frequent that I can't even think straight.

　We have to get out of here.
　If we don't do this, we'll be in trouble.

　No, it's already happening.

　We have to get out of here, quickly .......

　With that in mind, I started to dash.
　Dashing didn't change the frequency of being attacked.

　The position of the mini-radar in my brain didn't change.
　If it seemed to move every once in a while, I would soon realize that it was just an illusion that seemed to move when I was staring at something.
　I didn't move an inch on the mini-radar in my brain.

　I wonder why or why not, and my consciousness is focused on the radar with a bang.

　Then - the radar changed.

　What had been just the structure of the dungeon before was displayed as if there were several other points of light - something else.

　One of them completely overlapped with me.

'With the monster--no!　Did you get swallowed up?!

　Me, driven in a pinch.
　Thanks to being pushed to the edge, my abilities evolved and I was able to grasp the situation in the moment.
