"Bro, charge! Blow it up!!!" Millie's cheer was invigorating.
"Last time it was your legs, this time... it's your body."
As soon as Alain's words fell, Millie, behind him, manipulated the controller.
The young man's steps turned into lightning, and in an instant, he was beneath the monster.
It swung three of its appendages, transforming them into three sharp attacks aimed at Alain.
"Alright! Boss fight, boss fight!" Like a game of life, her smile was brilliant, and even Alain's movements became incredibly smooth.
He—dodged the attack, triggering a "perfect dodge," and the monster's body abruptly halted.
And his gaze, calm as an ancient well, focused on the monster's abdomen. The greatsword, like a dagger, plunged in, then stirred around like mixing a water vat.
The monster instantly shrieked repeatedly.
Alain glanced behind him; Little Mita was covering her ears, looking uncomfortable. His bro also looked a bit pale from the area-of-effect attack.
"This won't do..."
His gaze fixed on the enemy's head, the sword swept horizontally, the shrieking stopped, and the fruit fell.
"Well then, let's call it a temporary end." Alain crushed the head with one foot, turning it into a mosaic.
Thus, the monster seemed to have lost its vitality.
Alain returned to the Little Princess's side. The girl seemed to have not yet reacted before she was lifted high up by Alain.
"How about it?" He glanced at the monster's remains, "This is the consequence of bullying you."
"...!!" Little Mita, who had been alone for many years, was a bit unaccustomed to such intimate actions, but she still allowed Alain, her three limbs limply following his movements, to sway gently in mid-air.
"Wow, wow...!" To match Alain's smile, she put on a happy expression.
Like a little girl being accosted by the strange uncle Alain.
Millie, observing, silently took out something resembling a mobile phone from her equipment bar.
"Hello, hello, is this the police? Someone here wants to drink seaweed egg drop soup."
"That's really too much." Alain sighed, then opened the Security Guard panel.
He didn't think he had killed the monster like this. Because up until now, this monster's performance had been too weak.
And Alain's "venting anger for Little Mita" wasn't without purpose. It was to probe where the monster's weak point was.
Little Mita had lost the recovery ability belonging to version 1.3B, which led to her broken arm and scars. So, where did this recovery ability go?
Looking at the monster, whose whole body was gradually starting to writhe, the answer was obvious.
He activated the "Virus Scan" in the Security Guard skills. The purpose... was naturally to use the recovery time needed after the enemy was killed once to find the yellow spot similar to the one inside the human-headed spider.
The Parasite—that is, the yellow spot, must be the monster's weak point.
Virus Scan was activated, sweeping across the entire corridor, including the monster's writhing body. Soon, a conclusion was reached:
"As expected..." Alain was helpless.
The arrow of the Virus Scan pointed to the monster, not specifically to the location of the yellow spot. He himself didn't hold much hope.
"Hey, Alain! Look around you quickly." Millie's words attracted his attention.
Alain looked around and found that the erosion of the black holes had also made the bright corridor almost dim, turning it into a "little dark room."
And perhaps sensing the change in the home field. The monster's writhing body instantly became turbulent, like a storm brewing. As if its previous weakness was all fake.
That's right. As early as the first time he arrived at 1.3B and saw it, Alain understood that this guy's strength was definitely above that of the complete Devourer.
But its combat performance just now was unsatisfactory, excessively weak.
The difference between the two probably lay in the room's "brightness." The first time he saw it, it was in a dim corridor, not the bright corridor where they had just fought.
Looking around now, the corridor was also about to become dim. In other words, he was about to face the truly complete form of the monster.
"..." The hat walked behind him, anxiously gripping his sleeve. Alain also took her hand in return, patting it lightly.
"Don't worry, I'm not unprepared either."
As early as when he was in Prankster Mita's version 1.5, he had anticipated that there would be a fierce battle. For this, he had also made some preparations.
And this preparation had a rather long wind-up, even needing to "force" the monster a bit, to make it fall into the trap willingly.
As for how to force it... Alain sneered.
He released Millie's hand, letting the girl take Little Mita a little further away. Alain stood alone, in front of the monster that was about to recover.
Just as it was about to bare its fangs and brandish its claws, it was instead slapped by Alain's greatsword.
Taking advantage of this guy's long stun, Alain could attack without any scruples. Because this guy would feel pain.
Thus, the two girls behind him witnessed such a scene:
The monster wanted to revive, but Alain was there, waving his greatsword, torturing it.
The newly restored leg was severed again, the head was chopped off again and again. And the originally unharmed body was also severely ravaged.
"Er, why so suddenly... violent?" Millie was somewhat dazed, silently operating the controller, quietly giving the monster's abdomen a tree sweep.
"Sister Mita..." Little Mita tugged at her skirt from the side.
"What's wrong? Just call me Millie." Millie also protectively picked up Little Mita.
The girl pointed at her game controller, her eyes conveying a plea, "Can I? Sister Millie."
"Oh oh, of course you can." The girl's cute appearance made Millie's girlish heart overflow.
Cuter than a kitty~ I'll ask Alain to get one later.
"..." No, with that guy's disposition, he would definitely say something like "Let's make one ourselves."
Forget it, forget it.
On the other side, Alain's attacks suddenly became chaotic, instead achieving a "juicer" effect.
He glanced behind him and only then understood that the one holding the controller had changed from Millie to Little Mita.
Seeing Alain discover her, the girl looked a bit embarrassed, like a child caught playing with electronics by her parents.
But Alain looked at her encouragingly, which finally elicited a smile from the girl.
Turning back, looking at the battered monster, Alain looked at one of the buffs on the controller: infinite stamina. He said, "I can fight you for a day."
Alain, in a certain moment, felt as if he had become Crazy Mita, recklessly torturing it. Grow legs? Chop them off. Head back again? Chop it off. Want to scream? Chop it off. Dare to look at his Little Princess? Poke it out.
The monster seemed to understand human language; its battered body trembled.
It completely broke down.
"QĦABA ABAJAROJ AKO ABOJAKOJ — ! ! ! "
A sharp shriek sent Alain flying back several steps in an instant, the shock making Alain's whole body feel numb.
"As expected, it's much stronger in a dark environment." He noticed that the intensity of the shriek, compared to before, was worlds apart.
In other words, this revival, the monster was probably in its complete form.
But the greatsword immediately pierced its throat, making it unable to scream anymore.
"My attack was also very effective," Alain commented meaningfully.
The purpose of "forcing" it had been achieved.
As soon as his words fell, the monster's hollow eyes immediately looked to the side. At the same moment, the door on the other side of the loop suddenly opened.
"Crack."
Millie looked towards the sound, her face inevitably turning pale.
"Th-That's... reinforcements?"
The position where the door opened was not another loop, but... the monster breeding house. Inside the house, it was full of human-headed spiders.
The monster, unable to bear Alain's harassment, finally planned to summon minions to restrain them, thus finding an opportunity to revive.
According to Alain's guess, next time it revived, the big guy would probably be in its perfect state. Everyone would inevitably be in for a tough fight.
The worst case scenario: they would have to face the complete form of the monster and a large group of human-headed spiders simultaneously.
"Hmm?" Millie, observing the monster breeding house, was puzzled.
Why were the human-headed spiders a bit strange? It seemed… most of them were lying dead...?
"Oh!" She figured it out.
Because the small spiders in the monster breeding house had all been cleared out by them, and the corpses of the small spiders would naturally turn into human-flesh spiders over time.
But the fact that they were deader than dead hadn't changed. Their previous efforts hadn't been in vain!
False alarm, false alarm. Then, she saw the swaying dark blue skirt and wine-red knitted sweater inside the monster breeding house.
"Hmph hmph hmph~" She walked gracefully from the other side of the human-headed spiders, humming an unknown song.
"Darling darling darling ling~!" And in her hand, she gripped a baseball bat tightly.
Millie looked as if she had seen a ghost, reflected in the corner of her lightly glancing eye. That Mita raised her hand and waved, greeting them. Upon her warm smile was a bone-chilling gaze,
"Aiya, Doll, long time no see~ It's such a pity I didn't kill you last time." Crazy Mita grinned, like a Yaksha.
"So, where's my Darling?"
