2 Future Awakened

 >1 Posts are being burned through fast! Thx for the thread, OP!

3 Future Awakened

 Staircase found!

4 Future Awakened

 Whoa, next up is floor thirty-two — the highest point ever reached!

5 Future Awakened

 Makes sense they'd take a break

6 Future Awakened

 Mr. Storage showing off his excellence as always

7 Future Awakened

 Oh? Something's off about Shizuka-san?

8 Future Awakened

 Looks like she's placing an order

9 Future Awakened

 A sandwich?

10 Future Awakened

 Yeah, a sandwich

11 Future Awakened

 Why is she THAT happy?

12 Future Awakened

 She's over the moon, look at her

13 Future Awakened

 Holding it like it's some sacred treasure. Adorable

14 Future Awakened

 Whoa, what a smile!

15 Future Awakened

 What's with that sandwich? Is it really that good?

16 Future Awakened

 She's eating it like there's no tomorrow

17 Future Awakened

 Now I'm craving a sandwich

18 Future Awakened

 Screenshots, screenshots

19 Future Awakened

 >18 Reported.

20 Future Awakened

 >18 Reported.

21 Future Awakened

 >18 I have reported it desuwa

22 Future Awakened

 Why... (teary-eyed

23 Future Awakened

 Shizuka-san's smile heals my soul

24 Future Awakened

 I want her to be my girlfriend

25 Future Awakened

 I want her to be my wife

26 Future Awakened

 I want her to be my daughter

27 Future Awakened

 >26 Reported.

28 Future Awakened

 >26 Reported.

29 Future Awakened

 >26 Now THAT deserves a report

30 Future Awakened

 Hey! Quiet!

31 Future Awakened

 Did someone just say something ominous?

32 Future Awakened

 Terror's Symbol?

33 Future Awakened

 Free-roaming?

34 Future Awakened

 What's "free-roaming"?

35 Future Awakened

 Gaia's explaining it right now

36 Future Awakened

 It crosses floors!?

37 Future Awakened

 What the heck, that's terrifying!?

38 Future Awakened

 "If you hear the greatsword dragging, run" — that's way too hardcore

39 Future Awakened

 An A-rank party runs at the sight of it from a distance — how scary IS this thing

40 Future Awakened

 And they still dared to challenge a floor where that thing roams

41 Future Awakened

 If it doesn't pass through boss rooms, that means it's wandering floors thirty-one through thirty-nine?

42 Future Awakened

 >41 No guarantee it doesn't pass through boss rooms either

43 Future Awakened

 Either way, a terrifying existence

44 Future Awakened

 >40 Hard to tell if that's courage or recklessness...

45 Future Awakened

 What lies at the bottom of a dungeon? Nobody's ever found out

46 Future Awakened

 Dungeon Modifications exist, after all. Parties would want to crush any dungeon that can be crushed — and for that you'd need to reach the bottom floor. Honestly, that logic tracks

47 Future Awakened

 Is there something like a Dungeon Core at the bottom floor, light-novel style?

48 Future Awakened

 >47 Honestly, feels like it

49 Future Awakened

 My vote's on a Dungeon Master

50 Future Awakened

 >49 Ah, that's possible too

51 Future Awakened

 I mean, why did dungeons even appear in the first place?

52 Future Awakened

 If the big-shot scholars can't reach a conclusion, us bickering about it here is pointless

53 Future Awakened

 Anyway, let's just watch this challenge unfold!

54 Future Awakened

 >53 Yeah!

55 Future Awakened

 >53 Now that's well said!

56 Future Awakened

 Go get 'em, Kokushi Musou!

57 Future Awakened

 Here we go — floor thirty-two at last

58 Future Awakened

 Soraku's fired up too!

59 Future Awakened

 Being able to face fear head-on like that... amazing

60 Future Awakened

 Soraku-sama is so cool

61 Future Awakened

 We're counting on you, Kokushi Musou!

213 Future Awakened

 Man, they're moving so carefully

214 Future Awakened

 >213 First time seeing Kokushi Musou this careful

215 Future Awakened

 That's how dangerous it must be

216 Future Awakened

 The tension is really coming through

217 Future Awakened

 Something's coming!

218 Future Awakened

 What is that?

219 Future Awakened

 A skeleton?

220 Future Awakened

 Never seen a skeleton that strong-looking

221 Future Awakened

 Look at all that gear!

222 Future Awakened

 A Skeleton King!? That's A-rank!?

223 Future Awakened

 There's a Knight and a Mage too!?

224 Future Awakened

 A party led by an A-rank — that's insane, right!?

225 Future Awakened

 They're fighting!?

226 Future Awakened

 They're calmly making a battle plan

227 Future Awakened

 Are they gonna be okay?

228 Future Awakened

 One person per monster, huh

229 Future Awakened

 Soraku takes the King. You okay there?

230 Future Awakened

 So the plan is Soraku pins the King down until Ryuga takes out the Knight

231 Future Awakened

 It all hinges on how fast Ryuga can finish the Knight

232 Future Awakened

 My heart's pounding

233 Future Awakened

 Come on, win this!

234 Future Awakened

 It's started

235 Future Awakened

 Soraku-sama, please hang in there!

236 Future Awakened

 Impressive. He's fighting at spear range

237 Future Awakened

 That's Soraku-sama for you!

238 Future Awakened

 Ryuga and Gaia are both pushing ahead

239 Future Awakened

 >238 They're only B-ranks

240 Future Awakened

 Looks like it's going per plan?

241 Future Awakened

 >240 Dude, that's a flag!

242 Future Awakened

 >240 Don't raise flags!

243 Future Awakened

 Is that its shadow?

244 Future Awakened

 It just moved weird!?

245 Future Awakened

 Something came out!?

246 Future Awakened

 Nice Flashlight!

247 Future Awakened

 Gross!? What IS that?

248 Future Awakened

 That was dang—

249 Future Awakened

 One hit!

250 Future Awakened

 A Parasite Shadow?

252 Future Awakened

 >250 Deets?

253 Future Awakened

 Wasn't that insanely close just now?

254 Future Awakened

 They're fine. Totally calm

255 Future Awakened

 >252 A monster that hides in all kinds of shadows. It's C-rank, but between how hard it is to spot and its ambush attacks, even A-rank explorers have gone down to it

256 Future Awakened

 >255 thx

257 Future Awakened

 >255 Thx for the explanation

258 Future Awakened

 >253 Would've been bad news without SS

259 Future Awakened

 How did he even notice that?

260 Future Awakened

 His field of view is insane as always

261 Future Awakened

 This is all thanks to SS, honestly

262 Future Awakened

 Soraku just asked SS to handle scouting

263 Future Awakened

 Well, he can scout ahead at zero risk

264 Future Awakened

 Figured leaving it to SS was the safer bet

265 Future Awakened

 I love the "use whatever works" attitude!

266 Future Awakened

 When lives are on the line, pride means nothing...

267 Future Awakened

 Ever since SS started scouting ahead, there's clearly been way less pointless fighting

268 Future Awakened

 >267 I was thinking the same

269 Future Awakened

 >267 Did you know? SS's actual job is cameraman

270 Future Awakened

 SS-san's scouting ability is unreal

271 Future Awakened

 If anything jumps him, he can just un-summon. Yeah, that's straight-up broken

272 Future Awakened

 >269 Knew it ♡

273 Future Awakened

 Oho!? Two Dead Wizards!?

274 Future Awakened

 TWO A-ranks!?

275 Future Awakened

 No way around this one

276 Future Awakened

 They're going for it?

277 Future Awakened

 Isn't that asking a bit much?

278 Future Awakened

 This was expected, right?

279 Future Awakened

 If they're aiming for floor thirty-three, they'd have to fight, no?

280 Future Awakened

 I sense an epic battle coming

281 Future Awakened

 Please do your best

282 Future Awakened

 Getting past this would be HUGE, right?

283 Future Awakened

 Praying for Gaia-sama to shine

284 Future Awakened

 Soraku-sama, sweep those monsters aside!

285 Future Awakened

 Ryuga-sama need only silently destroy the enemy

286 Future Awakened

 Shizuka-san, please marry me

287 Future Awakened

 >286 Reported.

288 Future Awakened

 >286 Obviously reported.

289 Future Awakened

 >286 Read the room lol

290 Future Awakened

 >286 Don't hate it, but reported anyway

291 Future Awakened

 The drone went in first!

292 Future Awakened

 Whoa!? Magic raining down!?

293 Future Awakened

 Fire and lightning!?

294 Future Awakened

 It's weaving right through them!?

295 Future Awakened

 How come nothin's hittin'!?

296 Future Awakened

 Taking out the lightning one first. Good call

297 Future Awakened

 Gaia's chanting is FAST!? She's going all out on this one

298 Future Awakened

 The drone makes a perfect decoy!

299 Future Awakened

 Direct hit!

300 Future Awakened

 Oh, the drone's gone too

301 Future Awakened

 RIP

302 Future Awakened

 Yeah, that bullet hell is too much

303 Future Awakened

 If anything, forcing them to use that much is a big success

304 Future Awakened

 Earth Wall!

305 Future Awakened

 They split them up!

306 Future Awakened

 Are they gonna be okay...

307 Future Awakened

 They've got two in front, so that side's fine. The concern is Gaia

308 Future Awakened

 And the drone's back — that's cheating!

309 Future Awakened

 Drone body slam!

310 Future Awakened

 Gone again. Another kamikaze?

311 Future Awakened

 Does ramming even do damage?

312 Future Awakened

 >311 No idea

313 Future Awakened

 Oh, isn't the Dead Wizard's body shrinking?

314 Future Awakened

 It is

315 Future Awakened

 Down to about half?

316 Future Awakened

 Earth magic is working

317 Future Awakened

 Whoa, that looks painful

318 Future Awakened

 Ah, a Water Ball to the leg

319 Future Awakened

 Gaia-sama...

320 Future Awakened

 And now, Shizuka-sama's time to shine

321 Future Awakened

 Her healing output is insane as always

322 Future Awakened

 With Shizuka-san there, they can push a little past their limits

323 Future Awakened

 >322 Not denying it, but don't forget about SS

324 Future Awakened

 >323 Forget? He's the MVP so far, isn't he?

325 Future Awakened

 >324 So true

326 Future Awakened

 >324 Exactly

327 Future Awakened

 >324 Agreed

328 Future Awakened

 Winning against two A-ranks!

329 Future Awakened

 Looks like they can pull it off

330 Future Awakened

 No letting your guard down

331 Future Awakened

 Huh?

332 Future Awakened

 Eh?

333 Future Awakened

 Is something coming from the corridor?

334 Future Awakened

 There's something on camera!

335 Future Awakened

 A Possession Phantom!?

336 Future Awakened

 Wait, that one's seriously bad news!?

337 Future Awakened

 Nobody inside seems to have noticed

338 Future Awakened

 At this rate, Shizuka-san or Gaia's getting possessed

339 Future Awakened

 Bad bad bad

340 Future Awakened

 Hm? Is this thing coming at the camera?

341 Future Awakened

 Oh? Now that you mention it

342 Future Awakened

 Don't tell me it's trying to possess the drone?

343 Future Awakened

 The drone's gonna get possessed!?

344 Future Awakened

 But that one's the actual machine — a real machine, not made of MP, right?

345 Future Awakened

 Can Possession Phantoms even possess machines?

346 Future Awakened

 >345 No precedent, so who knows

347 Future Awakened

 Looks like it's even trying to lure the drone in

348 Future Awakened

 And the guys inside don't seem to know

349 Future Awakened

 Ah, it got grabbed!

350 Future Awakened

 Whoa, it's been snatched up

351 Future Awakened

 What happens now!?

352 Future Awakened

 Uho! Wind Blade Wall!

353 Future Awakened

 Possession failed!

354 Future Awakened

 It's getting shredded instead lol

355 Future Awakened

 Tables turned!

356 Future Awakened

 Now it's the drone's turn to chase!

357 Future Awakened

 Clean. He's reading its movements

358 Future Awakened

 This drone is the Possession Phantom's natural enemy!

359 Future Awakened

 Never thought I'd see something like this...

360 Future Awakened

 Go! Finish it!

361 Future Awakened

 Whoa! Three down at once!

362 Future Awakened

 All three at the same time!?

363 Future Awakened

 He's got the knack, no doubt!

364 Future Awakened

 Three at once is TOO amazing!

365 Future Awakened

 Got me good

366 Future Awakened

 Goosebumps

367 Future Awakened

 I accidentally yelled out loud — and my neighbor was screaming too. Felt this weird kinship, haha

368 Future Awakened

 Supporting Gaia while solo-killing a Possession Phantom... isn't that overdoing it?

369 Future Awakened

 That drone IS their main force

370 Future Awakened

 Without SS, they might've been wiped out

371 Future Awakened

 Feels like they lean on SS a bit too much. Is that okay?

372 Future Awakened

 Well now, that last bit was SS's own call, wasn't it? Kokushi Musou alone would've scraped through somehow, no?

373 Future Awakened

 Well, SS-san was part of their battle plan, so without him they'd have fought differently, right?

374 Future Awakened

 Without SS, would they have even attempted this?

375 Future Awakened

 Alright, everyone, calm down. Let's just enjoy this fine piece of cinema

376 Future Awakened

 >375 True. Sorry for getting heated

377 Future Awakened

 I said too much. My apologies

378 Future Awakened

 Either way, it was an incredible fight. That much is certain

379 Future Awakened

 And there's plenty more to come!

380 Future Awakened

 If they're going for it anyway, take us all the way to floor thirty-three!
