I Refuse to Try to Max Out Any Stat So I’ll Just Start Finding My Own Way Around! A Healer That Doesn’t Specialize in Anything, Separates From His Friends, and Goes on His Own Journey

　The only B-ranked monster… I can think of is the Great Boar, but when I think of a monster as strong as that one, I can’t imagine beating it at all.

“But……”

 

 

　The passage up to this point was practically a straight path.
There was no other way to go.
And I hadn’t found what I was looking for yet.
In other words, whether or not I defeat that thing, I have to get through this place and move on.
Or…

 

 

“Give up and go back to the surface?”

 

 

　That’s what I put into words and then thought about it.
The first thing that came to my mind was Lizzy’s face.

 

　There was a monster that looked strong, so I abandoned the child who was waiting for help and came back.
Would Lizzy be sad if I reported that?

 

 

“…I don’t even want to imagine it.”

 

 

　I unconsciously shook my head as I said that.

 

　There was no way around it because there was a monster that looked strong.
It’s not that I don’t have a choice, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I don’t want to see that face again.

 

　And besides, Lizzy said that I could do it.

 

 

“If so, I’ll try as hard as I can.”

 

 

　I changed the range of my [Magi Location] several times, and in the pitch darkness, I tried to find a route as far away from the giant slime as possible, while keeping track of the obstacles around me.
The temple seems to be made of stone and has detailed patterns like ancient Greek buildings, but I can’t fully grasp it with just [Magi Location].
Inside the cave, there was the main path that led straight from the temple, and on either side of it were ruins.
I think I can get through behind those ruins.

　At any rate, I should try to get out of this space without being spotted by the giant slime.
Even if I can’t defeat it, I might manage to move it behind it.

 

　…I don’t want to think about returning home.

 

　With that in mind, it’s a good idea to get out of the temple carefully so as not to make any noise, I hid behind the pillars of the temple and tried to move at the back of the ruins.

 

 

“Eh?”

 

 

　The giant black slime stopped its wriggling movement.
The next moment, the giant slime’s body was in the air.

 

 

“What the–!”

 

 

　I quickly jumped out from behind the pillar and threw my body to the backside of the ruin.
At the same time, a booming sound resounded.

 

 

“Huh!? Hey!”

 

 

　As I ducked for cover, I checked my [Magi Location] and saw that a giant slime had plowed through the entrance to the temple, completely destroying the entrance.

 

 

“Damn! Light, illuminate my way [Light Source].”

 

 

　Once this happens, there is no point in turning off the light.

　Illuminated by the light from [Light Source], a huge black slime appears in the scattered dust.

 

　… Unlike in some games, this slime has no eyes, so what does the presence or absence of light have to do with it?　In fact, it pinpointed me in the dark and attacked me who is not making a sound.

 

 

“Light, shoot down my enemy! [Light Ball]!”

 

 

　At any rate, I released a [Light Ball] with all my might and immediately turned my back and ran to the other side of the temple.
If there is a path here, there must be an exit here.

 

 

“…!”

 

 

　Within 20 meters, I felt the giant slime jumping towards me and I rolled on the ground, changing my path.

 

　The next moment, a loud crashing sound echoed through the cave, and pieces of flying debris rained down on me.

 

 

“Guh! I can’t escape!”

 

 

　I have to do it! But how do I do it? I’m not sure I can handle a giant slime like that with a spear, no matter how many times my blows are successful.

 

 

　Immediately stand up and turn to the giant slime.

 

　The center of the giant slime, which I could feel from the [Magi Location], began to cave in, creating a mortar-shaped depression.
And something is gathering in the center of it.

“Ugh!?”

 

 

　It’s trying to do something! I don’t know what it is, but I know it’s trying something!

 

　I quickly ran to the other side of the road and slipped behind the rubble.
At that moment, with a poof, a black mass is spat out from the giant slime, blowing away several of the ruins.
Then the black material scattered all over the area.

 

 

“I see……”

 

 

　The black stains that covered everywhere were spread by this giant slime? I thought that the slime had been transformed by this black stain.
But this must be the other way around.
If that’s the case–

 

 

“–Ah! I don’t want to take any more crazy chances like before.”

 

 

　I rolled out of the shadow of the rubble, and at the same time, the rubble was blasted apart by a black mass.

 

　While dusting the rubble and debris on my body, I stood up and immediately ran in a zigzag toward the giant slime.
I avoided the black lumps that were spat out one by one, the stretched out a part of its body similar to a tentacle, and dodge the blow that is moving parallel to the ground.
I thrust my spear towards the slime, shouting out loud putting the weight of my whole.

 

 

“To the impure, may your soul rest in peace.
[Purification]!”

 

 

　It was a serious [Purification] with no thought for the consequences.
I channel it through my spear into the body of the giant slime with all my might.

 

　The giant slime wraps its thin, outstretched body around the spear in an attempt to drag me into its body, but I ignore it all and focus all my energy on the [Purification].
Rather, I move forward and push the spear deeper into its body.

 

　Deeper and deeper.
Allowing the [Purification] to penetrate deep, even if only a little.
The iron spear that had been captured by the giant slime creaked and screamed, and both of my hands that had been captured with it smoked and burned painfully.

“Gut!”

 

 

　It’s not enough! More! I’m going to need stronger [Purification]! I burn through all the magic available!

 

　When I attempted it, magical power flowed from my core and flowed around my body like a wave.
The magic power gathered in my right hand and flowed into the iron spear and the magic power that hadn’t flowed completely overflowed from my entire body and began to shine.

 

 

“Take thiiiiis!!”

 

 

　The light overflowing from my whole body becomes an aura and envelops the giant slime.
Purifying everything, the giant slime disappears from the tip of my spear.

 

　Eventually, the shining aura that purified the giant slime spread in an instant, purifying everything in the cave.

 

 

　White grains falling down.
The shining white world.
A silence enveloped the area.

 

　A feeling of emptiness as the magic ran out.
The pain in my arms.
A strange sense of accomplishment envelops me.

 

　I sat down on the ground, where the white grains had fallen, and let out a sigh.

 

 

“You did it, Rook!”

 

 

 

　I felt like I heard Lizzy’s voice.
