Chapter 250: The Deadly Sea Of First Sight

"Hey, seriously...!"

As I free-fell from the sky towards the sea, my expression contorted in disbelief.

"Of all places, why did it have to be this room...!"

The 'Eternal Library' consists of 1024 rooms, with the teleportation to each room being random.

If one clears a total of ten rooms, they can enter the room where all the books are stored at the very back. However, fate had it that I stumbled upon a room with an almost one 100% fatality rate on the first try.

The 'Leviathan's Room'... quite literally, a vast sea where the boss monster Leviathan awaits.

(An ocean within the dungeon. Thrown into the air, with the massive Leviathan waiting below. I wonder how many players have met their end here...!)

Firstly, there's the damage from falling from the sky into the sea. For some reason, flying-type items are sealed, so an alternative approach is necessary.

Next is drowning damage underwater. Death is certain without using water resistance items.

Even if one manages to overcome that, they'll find themselves in a battle with Leviathan in a significantly disadvantageous underwater situation.

It's a design that makes people wonder just how much they want to kill them.

(No matter how strong you are, in dungeons, when it's time to die, you die... This room somehow conveys the creators' philosophy...)

"""Kyaaaaaa!"""

In the midst of the event, my three companions, Aeris, Ciel, and Electra, are screaming.

I immediately shout to Electra.

"Hey, summon someone who can fly in the sky with magic!"

"Kyaaaaaa!"

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Noooooo!"

Electra had completely lost her composure.

At this rate... she doesn't seem to be of any use.

"Tch... can't be helped. Come out, Miura!"

"Ah... I'm out."

For some reason, the great demon Myura Agares, a summon beast, appeared from inside my jacket.

In this dungeon, only parties of up to four people can enter, but summon beasts are in a separate category.

Miura lurks within my shadow, but now that shadows cannot form in the air, it must have appeared from the shadow within my clothes.

"Stop our fall!"

"Mm."

With a brief command, Miura activates magic.

I felt a sudden decrease in magic power, but in return, the fall came to a halt.

Miura's ability is 'time stop.'

As a demon who controls time, Miura can stop the flow of time and unilaterally attack enemies during that time.

(In this world, only Miura can move... but since I, the summoner, am connected in consciousness, even if I can't move, I can still think...!)

I had conducted experiments beforehand, but during Miura's time stop, both I and my companions become unable to move.

However, even though unable to move, for some reason, there is a shared sensation of consciousness, feeling like time has stopped.

(Miura, listen carefully! Take out the Mind Potion from my magic bag and make Electra drink it!)

"Okay."

As instructed, she took out the Mind Potion from the magic bag.

This item can restore mental abnormalities, such as fear, confusion, and berserk.

"Drink it."

Miura flapped the wings on her back within the stopped time and flew over to Electra.

She haphazardly shoved the bottle's opening into Electra's mouth and forcefully poured the potion down.

The liquid overflowed from her mouth, splashing onto her chest, making her translucent magic breasts visible, but... it was not the time to be concerned about that.

"It's done."

And then, time ran out.

Time began moving again.

"Kyaaaaaa... huh?"

Once again, the fall begins... and Electra's face turns puzzled.

Her state of fear was lifted by the Mind Potion.

"Summon it! Someone who can fly!"

"Y-yes, understood!"

Though it was a brief instruction, she understood the situation.

Electra swiftly chanted and summoned a white dragon.

"Now, everyone! Get on this one's back...!"

The White Dragon catches Aeris and Ciel in mid-air.

I am too far away, but Miura grabs my back and we float fluttering.

"We're saved...!"

"I-I thought I was dead..."

"..."

Ciel says with a pale face. Aeris also trembles in silence on the dragon's back.

"I need to make sure everyone else drinks the Mind Potion... but for now..."

"GRROOOOARRR!"

"First stage cleared... next up is dealing with that thing."

Furious at the prey that never seems to fall, Leviathan roared for it to come quickly.

Looking down at the gigantic sea dragon as big as a sperm whale, I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
