[Dungeon] Chapter 64 – Unbelievable!

I managed to finish 1 chapter! Here we go!

Akeno nodded and gritted her teeth. "Yes. It seems like it's not the same monster that we fought before. It's much stronger than the last time."

Meanwhile, Naruto and Gaara were the ones attacking the Dullahan. The sand controlled by the Kazekage wrapped around it like a snake, restraining its movements. Gaara's sand was much stronger than the last time he fought. It was dense and heavy, making it hard for the monster to move.

However, it still wasn't enough to stop him completely. The Dullahan struggled to move its arm and swing its sword. A huge slash flew out, cutting through the sand wall.

"It's still not enough!" Gaara muttered as he tried to stop it. His sand was powerful, but the Dullahan's strength was too much for it.

"I'll help you, Gaara." Naruto said. He made a hand sign and used his Shadow Clone Technique.

"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"

Several clones appeared next to him, and they all charged towards the monster. They attacked it with all kinds of techniques, but nothing worked against the Dullahan.

However, they did manage to drag the headless knight down from his horse. The blond boy and his clones continued to attack the monster, but it was too strong.

"Futon! Kamaitachi!"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew past Naruto. He turned around and saw Temari swinging her giant fan.

The gale of wind cut through the sand wall, destroying everything in its path. The clones were blown away, but the Dullahan remained unharmed.

"What?!" Temari exclaimed, unable to believe what she had just seen.

"Kill the undead hiding behind the doors first!" Rias quickly ordered, "If the undead is not killed, then Dullahan will keep on regenerating!"

"Oh right!" Naruto realized, and he started to summon his clones. "Shikamaru, help Gaara to stop that monster. I will deal with the undead behind the doors. And Ero Sennin, help us you bastard!"

With that, Naruto ran toward the door. At least two clones were sent to deal with the undead hidden inside.

"Or so he said." Sirzechs muttered as he heard Naruto's words. He looked at Jiraiya who just shrugged. "What a rude student."

"I told you that he's a brat." The Sannin smirked. "Though, he's quite the interesting guy."

Then, he looked at the Devil's leader and grinned widely.

"So, what do you think about helping them?"

"Me? Help them? Hahaha! What a funny joke." Sirzechs laughed, "I'm here only to observe, not to participate."

"Is that so?" Jiraiya chuckled, "Well, I'll just enjoy the show from here too. My student had just finished his training, you see? There is someone he wanted to find. If he can't deal with something like this, then he won't be able to face that person."

The Sannin looked at the battlefield in front of him. Everyone was busy fighting the monsters, using their own techniques and skills. He had to admit that this could become a good training ground for Naruto and the rest of the shinobis. 

However, it was too dangerous for them to stay here when there was someone else like the person beside him.

As he thought about that, the battle became more intense.

Rias' power of destruction surged forth, enveloping her entire body. She unleashed a powerful blast at the Dullahan, but the creature managed to block her attack using his sword.

With a swift movement, the headless knight rushed toward Rias, judging that she was the most dangerous DPS in the area. He disappeared from where he was, shaking the sand off from his body.

Akeno tried to intercept the Dullahan but she was too slow. She summoned her lightning spear and threw it, but it was useless. The monster cut the spear in half with one swing of his sword and continued his charge.

"Rias!"

Akeno cried out in alarm, but it was too late.

Dullahan's flaming sword descended upon the red-haired girl. Rias could only watch in horror as the blade came down on her, knowing that there was no way to evade or block the attack.

However, at that moment, all she could see was red.

"I won't let you do that."

A calm voice rang out, and the next instant, the Dullahan disappeared on the spot, eaten by red destruction energy.

Sirzechs slowly lowered his hand and sighed. He stood in front of the girl he had saved, his back facing her.

"Are you okay, Rias?"

"B-Brother? Y-Yeah, I am okay." She nodded her head in response, still in shock at what had happened just a moment ago. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." The man smiled.

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes upon watching the spectacle. Everything happened so fast. The man next to him suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of that girl. He was sure that he couldn't catch up with his speed if the man seriously attacked him. It was as if time had stopped for a few seconds.

'Is this guy also a space-time Ninjutsu user?' He thought to himself. 'Or is he just fast enough to make it seem like teleportation? And to think he can defeat that monster in just one attack. How terrifying.'

Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear to him now: this man is really strong. Maybe even stronger than Tsunade or Orochimaru, or anyone he knew.

"Hey, what are we supposed to do next?" Shikamaru asked Naruto's real body who was busy killing the undead behind the door. "We have defeated most of the monsters in the hall."

"Hmm there should be a voi-"

[Congratulations for clearing floor 2-1! Will you continue to floor 2-2? Yes/no]

[Note: You will start from the random respawn point in case you enter again after returning. Please choose your choice carefully!]

"-ce. Ah! There it is, there it is!" Naruto grinned. "Hey, what's the next floor?"

"Let me see..." Shikamaru looked at the translucent window in front of him. "Hmm, we can go to the next floor, but it will spawn us randomly. We can't choose our own starting point. Because we haven't checked yet, it's better to continue. What about you guys?"

He asked the Devils' group.

"We are going to con-"

"Ah, go ahead. We will stop here for today."

Before Rias could finish her sentence, Sirzechs had already spoken.

"What? Brother?" Rias turned to look at him with a surprised expression on her face.

The redhead was about to say something when she saw his serious expression. He was looking at the Ninja's group, especially the white-haired man who stood next to him just now.

"We have done enough exploration today." He smiled gently. "There are a lot of reports you need to make. Not to mention, I have to call a meeting with my colleagues. Let's stop here."

"Y-Yes." Rias nodded her head reluctantly. She could feel the hidden meaning behind his words.

"Then, Grayfia. Let's return home."

"As you wish." Grayfia bowed her head respectfully and they walked toward the exit.
