**Day 46 Morning Cave 19F**
I concentrate all my power, speed, magic, skills, and everything else at the very tip of my staff. I condense it completely and thrust forward.
I pierce straight through. My entire accelerated body weight drives the strike clean through.
It shatters. The golem breaks into fragments, pieces, and pebbles.
Yeah, I can handle striking attacks just fine, so there's no need to insist on slashing.
I do not need Vibration Sword or anything like that. That was just something I taught the committee members.
My 'Tree Staff?' is fused with a divine sword, so it can cut anyway. I do not need Vibration Sword—I can cut normally.
I practice 'Vibration Magic' every night anyway, so it is fine. This morning I got yelled at again.
Besides, I am good at both striking and thrusting. It is a wooden staff, so thrusting is more natural than slashing, right?
I wrap it in 'Gravity' magic, so the destructive power is outstanding.
The committee members are giving me deadpan stares while struggling with Vibration Sword, but it is normal. Deadpan stares during combat are dangerous.
Whether I hit or thrust, it breaks. Because it is a staff. I have not received any complaints from the Isekai Kendo Musou Staff Style yet, so it is fine. Probably. Surely not yet.
No, you do need to practice Vibration Sword. Sword-type jobs require it. You were practicing in the backyard yesterday, right? I could not approach because of the suspicious atmosphere. What was that vibe?
"No? Even with deadpan stares… I am not a swordsman? I don't have a job! Striking works fine? I have been punching since the cave days?"
Besides, if we are talking about that—Vice Chair B, the great sage, is doing it too! And because of that great sage, I got lectured last night? I am not guilty? It was shaking, so it could not be helped? She was swinging it around earlier? Swinging the staff and vibrating things wildly? Thanks to 'Rashin Eye', I could stare even while looking away—it could not be helped. Seriously. She was swinging it!?
I run the 'Tree Staff?' upward to smash the massive descending stone fist, then follow with a right diagonal slash from the shoulder to cut down while advancing through the golems.
I weave and slip through like flickering light. I shatter and break apart the stone giants as I move forward. I deflect and parry the annoying hands with my left gauntlet. No? If I do not use it occasionally, 'Contradiction Gauntlet [Left]'s physical/magic attack nullification gets no spotlight? It has not even done a "khh" once yet? In the end.
The golems swarm, so I press my hand to the ground and pour magic and vibration in. I scatter magic waves like ripples across the area and pulverize with vibration waves.
'Vibration Magic'
The "Stone Golems" shatter simultaneously into rubble. I avoid the flying debris and advance.
Around me, piles of broken stone fragments stand tall.
At Lv19 or so, this is normal. It is no different from rock excavation work—crush, bore, pulverize, advance. It is basically renovation work. I am good at it?
Finally, 20th floor.
"Hey hey, Haruka, why are you rushing? Why are you moving pretty fast?is something up?"
While the committee members fight one-on-one with Vibration Sword, I wipe out groups—so it probably looked like rushing. See? This is not normal? Armor Committee Chair? Not listening at all, busy annihilating over there.
"Not rushing. If I do not hurry, they get annihilated. Before extinction, I have to defeat them—monsters die out. Previous dungeon was descend stairs, ascend, done? Greedy Armor-san monopolized solo massacre. Seriously."
Yeah, today no need to instruct—so Armor Committee Chair is unleashed. Free-range rampage. Master neglected? Now it is finders-keepers slaughter fest. If I do not act, mob-ification unstoppable. Lately my spotlight is only midnight. Nighttime big performance.
20th floor onward: "Iron Golem Lv20". Evolved from stone to iron apparently. Bitch Leader still not evolved to Bitch Queen. Asked her—got angry?
"Iron Golem" giving everyone big trouble. Vibration Sword can cut stone somewhat, but iron is tough.
I accelerate casually with 'Magic Clad', close in, spot core with 'Rashin Eye', pierce with one thrust (staff though). Still a staff in this otherworld? Fused with divine sword yet still looks the same.
Return strike (staff though)—from behind, slam core with impact wave to destroy.
Trying hard to make spotlight, but no one watching? Well, everyone busy? Fine, but still?
Finish iron golems, look around—tiny Vice Chair C struggling most. She dodges and slips around, slashing wildly, but no effect. Tiny so no effect. Small animal so no effect probably. Big B destroys them—probably because big and shaking. Big enough to destroy just by that? Oops—Armor Committee Chair glaring deadpan while posing sword. Somehow returned—escape! 'Transfer'!
Got yelled at.
Tiny small animal relies on distraction/decoy + backstab criticals. One-on-one against bulky opponent is tough. Shines in group fights, assassin/ninja type—so poor at direct clashes.
Weapon mismatch. Dual short knives lack reach and power for finishing. High DeX, dexterous style—should use anything?
"Tiny, come here? Try this? Small-animal size, throwable so range flexible? Tiny version? War Puppet was pretty tiny too?"
Pull two Francisca axes from item bag—saved for someday, never used. War Puppet swung them, so tiny should work.
"Not tiny! Petite! In growth period! Gonna grow huge! Turn into big animal! Ehh!? Yay! Free!?"
Complained at first, but weapon appears—snatches and flees. Small animal. Wild now. Return to forest? With bitches?
If mismatch—try falchion next. Show both—she takes both and flees probably. Start with Francisca. Throwing axe—short reach but swing for impact, throwable, woodcutting too. Suits forest small animal.
Immediately dual-wields axes, spins like a top charging. Tiny so like beyblade. Tiny so maybe reads comic with rolling stuff.
Axe spin cuts smash and scatter. Seems fine—movement matches. Probably has rotation skill. 'Rolling Small Animal Attack' or something.
"Yay~ yay~ got weapon~! Axes! Axes! Now I can axe too! Axe! I'm adult woman now. 18-restricted adult!"
Shows off happily to everyone. No intent to pay—declares it gift, bragging? Said "try?" but never returning. Classic small animal. But why axe = adult woman? Mystery small animal?
