Part 30 — Acceleration (Floors 55–70)
The moment they arrived on Floor 55, the difference was immediate. Not just in pressure—but in pace. With Floor Teleportation active, there was no buildup, no gradual adjustment. They had skipped straight into the deep end.
And this time—
They didn't stop.
"Alright!" Astra clapped midair, practically glowing with excitement. "Let's speedrun this!"
Koneko cracked her knuckles. "…Now you're talking."
Ais Wallenstein stepped forward without hesitation, her presence sharpening as the air around her shifted. "…We move fast. No wasted motion."
Alice confirmed instantly. "Route optimization complete. Fastest path to Floor 60 calculated."
Haruto walked past them.
"…Go."
That was all it took.
They moved.
Floor 55 didn't last more than minutes. Elite monsters appeared in coordinated waves, but now the difference in the party was obvious. Saeko Busujima moved first—her Murasama Sword flashing through the air with terrifying precision. Each strike was clean, controlled, and deadly. Enemies didn't just fall—they were cut down before they could react.
Her movements—
Were evolving in real time.
"Level up confirmed," Alice stated calmly.
Saeko smiled faintly. "…I can feel it."
Koneko followed right behind her, her raw strength overwhelming anything that got close. Her strikes carried weight far beyond her size, crushing through enemies as her EXP surged rapidly.
And then—
A new notification appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SKILL ACQUIRED ]
Koneko Toujou — "Summon Cat Knight"
Grade: Purple Epic
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Koneko blinked mid-step. "…Huh?"
Astra gasped. "WAIT—she got a summon skill?!"
Alice analyzed instantly. "Summoning-type combat skill. Likely scales with user strength."
Koneko smirked slightly. "…Let's try it."
She stepped forward—then activated it.
A magic circle formed beneath her feet, glowing faintly as energy condensed.
And then—
It appeared.
A humanoid knight—armored, sleek, with feline features subtly integrated into its design. Its presence was solid, powerful, and completely loyal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SUMMON SUCCESSFUL ]
Cat Knight — Active
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The creature stood beside Koneko, silent but ready.
"…It listens," she muttered.
Astra spun excitedly. "Oh that's SO cool! You basically have a mini-you now!"
Koneko immediately tested it. "Attack."
The Cat Knight moved instantly—intercepting an Elite monster and striking with precise, controlled force. The enemy's HP dropped rapidly before Koneko finished it off herself.
"…Okay," she said, a small grin forming. "…I like this."
Alice confirmed. "Combat efficiency increased. Multi-target engagement improved."
From that moment—
The pace increased again.
Now they weren't just a party.
They had numbers.
Floor 56—cleared.
Floor 57—cleared.
Through the group chat, coordination became seamless.
Astra:Left side incoming!
Alice:Three elites. Koneko + summon intercept.
Koneko:Got it.
Impact.
Gone.
Ais Wallenstein moved through the center, her blade cutting through enemies with unmatched precision. Her level ticked upward again—live—visible to the entire world watching.
"…She's getting faster…"
"…No—she's evolving…"
Behind them, Asia Argento maintained perfect support. Healing activated instantly whenever damage appeared, her magic stabilizing the entire team without delay.
"…Everyone is safe," she said softly.
By Floor 59—
Nothing slowed them anymore.
Then—
Floor 60.
The boss chamber opened again, the massive entity beginning to form—its HP bar filling—
Haruto raised his hand.
"…Skip."
The boss collapsed.
Deleted instantly.
The world watching fell silent again.
But this time—
They didn't stop.
They went deeper.
Floor 61.
The air shifted violently, pressure increasing as new enemies appeared—stronger, faster, smarter.
Level 62.
Level 64.
Level 65.
Koneko grinned. "…Finally."
She charged—with her Cat Knight beside her.
This time—
They pushed back.
She slid slightly. "…Okay… that's new."
Saeko Busujima stepped in instantly. "…Then we adapt."
Ais Wallenstein followed. "…Together."
And just like that—
They adjusted again.
The fights became real.
Challenging.
Perfect.
Asia:HP stable… I'll maintain support.
Light pulsed again—restoring, sustaining, reinforcing.
Astra hovered above, grinning widely. "Okay THIS is peak! Summons, teamwork, scaling—this is perfect!"
Haruto watched silently.
Because this—
Was the test.
Not for him.
For them.
Floor 62 fell.
Then 63.
Then 65.
Each battle smoother.
Each level higher.
The system updated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ PROGRESSION UPDATE ]
Current Floor: 65
Average Party Level: Rising Rapidly
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Above ground—
The world watched in silence.
Because this wasn't normal.
This wasn't progression.
This was acceleration.
And at the center of it—
Haruto didn't move.
Didn't fight.
Didn't need to.
He simply watched.
"…Keep going."
Astra grinned. "Say less."
Because now—
With new skills, new power, and perfect coordination—
They weren't just clearing the Dungeon.
They were overwhelming it.
Floor by floor.
Faster than ever before.
---
Part 30 Ends here!
Part 31 Starts here :D
---
Part 31 — Momentum (Floors 65–80)
Floor 65 didn't slow them.
It sharpened them.
The moment the last Elite monster fell, its body dissolving into light as Valis and item drops scattered across the ground, the system updated instantly. Inventory slots expanded, auto-sorting everything—rare materials, magic items, and large quantities of Valis flowing in without interruption.
And then—
A new notification appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SYSTEM UPDATE ]
New Feature Unlocked: EXP Share
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Astra froze mid-spin. "…WAIT—no way."
Koneko blinked. "…EXP share?"
Alice processed instantly. "Experience distribution system detected."
The details expanded.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ EXP SHARE SYSTEM ]
• All party members receive EXP from kills
• Contribution increases EXP gain
• Minimum EXP guaranteed regardless of role
• Summons included in distribution
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Silence.
Then—
Astra exploded with excitement. "THAT'S BROKEN!"
Koneko smirked. "…So even if I don't land the final hit, I still level?"
Alice nodded. "Correct. Efficiency increase across entire party."
Ais Wallenstein looked at her hands slightly, feeling the change. "…So we all grow together."
Haruto didn't react.
Because to him—
That was obvious.
The moment the system activated—
A faint pulse spread across the party.
A connection.
Not just communication anymore—
Growth.
Shared.
They moved.
Floor 66.
Enemies appeared instantly, their levels rising again:
Level 67.
Level 68.
Level 70.
Koneko moved first, her Cat Knight following. She struck down an Elite—
And immediately—
Everyone felt it.
A surge.
EXP flowing—not just to her—
But to all of them.
Asia's eyes widened slightly. "…I leveled…"
Astra spun midair. "SEE?! Even support gets full value!"
Asia Argento looked at her hands, surprised. "…I'm getting stronger… without fighting directly…"
Alice confirmed. "Support roles no longer hinder progression."
Saeko smiled faintly. "…Efficient."
From that moment—
The pace increased again.
Floor 66—cleared faster.
Floor 67—faster.
Because now—
No effort was wasted.
Every kill—benefited everyone.
Even Koneko's summon contributed.
Her Cat Knight struck down an enemy—
And the EXP distributed instantly.
"Summon contribution confirmed," Alice stated.
Koneko grinned. "…Okay yeah, this is unfair."
Saeko Busujima moved through enemies with her Murasama Sword, each kill feeding the entire party's growth. Her level rose steadily—but now, everyone else's did too.
"…We rise together," she said quietly.
Floor 68 introduced Elite variants again—stronger, faster. One struck Koneko back slightly—
But even then—
They adapted instantly.
Because now, the pressure wasn't on individuals.
It was shared.
Astra:Left flank incoming!
Alice:Split formation. Koneko + summon front. Saeko support.
Koneko:On it.
Impact.
Defeat.
EXP surged—again.
Across the world—
The reaction exploded.
"They're leveling at the same time?!"
"No—look at their stats—they're ALL increasing!"
"That's not normal—"
"That's broken!"
Floor 69—cleared.
Floor 70 opened once more.
The Elite Boss appeared again—
Level 75.
But this time—
The difference was obvious.
Because now—
They weren't just individually strong.
They were synchronized.
Ais moved first—cutting through its defense.
Saeko followed—precise, lethal strikes.
Koneko and her Cat Knight attacked together—overwhelming its balance.
Asia maintained constant healing—ensuring no one dropped.
And every hit—
Every action—
Fed everyone.
The fight didn't drag.
It flowed.
Smooth.
Controlled.
Perfect.
And then—
The final strike landed.
The boss collapsed.
EXP surged—massively.
And this time—
Everyone leveled.
Simultaneously.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ ELITE BOSS DEFEATED ]
EXP Distributed — All Party Members
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The world watching went silent again.
"…They all leveled…"
"At the same time…"
"That's not a party…"
"That's a system…"
Inside the Dungeon—
The party stood still for a moment.
Stronger.
More stable.
More complete.
Koneko exhaled. "…Okay… now this is just unfair."
Astra grinned widely. "Yep! And we're only getting started!"
Ais Wallenstein looked ahead, her grip tightening slightly. "…Then we keep going."
Haruto turned.
"…Yeah."
Because now—
With EXP shared, growth synchronized, and no weakness in the team—
They weren't just progressing.
They were accelerating together.
And as they stepped toward Floor 71—
The Dungeon itself—
Had no way to keep up.
---
Part 31 Ends here
Part 32 Starts here!
---
Part 32 — Chain Growth (Floors 71–90)
Floor 71 opened—
And the Dungeon changed again.
The moment they stepped forward, the atmosphere thickened, heavier than anything before. The walls no longer just pulsed—they reacted, as if the Dungeon itself was aware of what was coming.
Astra floated slightly lower this time, her usual playful energy dimming just a bit. "…Okay… yeah. This feels different."
Alice confirmed immediately. "Environmental hostility increased. Floor scaling significantly higher than previous layers."
Ais Wallenstein stepped forward anyway, her eyes calm but focused. "…Then we adapt again."
Haruto didn't speak.
They moved.
The first wave appeared instantly.
Not just Elites.
Entire formations.
Level 78.
Level 80.
Level 82.
Koneko grinned. "…Now THIS is worth it."
She charged—with her Cat Knight beside her. Their movements were synchronized, overwhelming enemies from multiple angles. Every kill triggered EXP Share, sending growth across the entire party.
"EXP distribution confirmed," Alice said.
And then—
Another notification appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SKILL ACQUIRED ]
Asia Argento
Skills: Auto Buff / Auto Debuff
Grade: Golden Legendary
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Asia blinked in surprise. "…Eh…?"
Astra gasped midair. "WAIT—support just got upgraded?!"
Alice analyzed instantly. "Automatic enhancement and weakening effects. Passive activation based on combat conditions."
Before anyone could say more—
The skill activated.
A soft golden light spread outward from Asia, barely visible—but immediately felt.
Koneko paused mid-strike. "…I feel… lighter."
Her speed increased.
Her strength amplified.
At the same time—
The enemies slowed.
Their movements dulled.
Their defenses weakened.
Ais's eyes sharpened instantly. "…Their reaction time dropped."
Saeko moved next—her blade cutting deeper than before. "…Their durability has decreased."
Alice confirmed. "Buff and debuff effects applied simultaneously. Continuous passive output."
Asia looked at her hands, surprised. "…I didn't even cast anything…"
Astra spun excitedly. "AUTO SUPPORT?! That's actually broken!"
Haruto glanced once.
"…Good."
And with that—
The pace increased again.
Floor 71—cleared.
Floor 72—faster.
Because now—
They weren't just fighting stronger.
They were enhanced constantly.
Enemies weakened automatically.
No delay.
No effort.
Just advantage.
Saeko Busujima moved like a storm, her Murasama Sword cutting through enemies with terrifying efficiency. Every strike landed harder. Cleaner. Deadlier.
"…This support…" she murmured. "…is exceptional."
Ais Wallenstein followed, her blade moving faster than before, her already refined combat pushed even further. "…Everything is smoother…"
Koneko grinned widely. "…Yeah… I like this."
Her Cat Knight mirrored her movements, now also benefiting from the buffs, overwhelming enemies with even greater force.
Floor 73 introduced Elite leaders again—
Level 85.
Level 87.
But this time—
They didn't hold.
They broke.
Faster than before.
Because every enemy—
Was weaker the moment they appeared.
And every ally—
Stronger the moment they moved.
Floor 74—cleared.
Floor 75—cleared.
The world watching reacted instantly.
"They're faster again?!"
"What changed?!"
"The enemies are slowing down—look at the replay!"
"That healer—she's doing something!"
Inside the Dungeon—
The party didn't stop.
Didn't need to.
Because now—
Combat was flowing perfectly.
Astra floated beside Haruto, grinning. "Okay yeah, that's unfair. Passive buffs AND debuffs? They're basically fighting weakened enemies the whole time!"
Haruto didn't respond.
Because that—
Was the point.
Floor 78 introduced mini-boss chains again.
Level 88.
Level 89.
Level 90.
But now—
The difference was obvious.
Koneko and her Cat Knight engaged first—overpowering one instantly.
Saeko cut through another with precision.
Ais finished the last.
The fight ended faster than expected.
EXP surged.
Levels rose.
The system updated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ PROGRESSION UPDATE ]
Current Floor: 78
Party Level: Rapid Growth Confirmed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
By Floor 80—
The boss appeared—
And was defeated.
Effortlessly.
Because now—
They weren't just strong.
They were optimized.
Ais Wallenstein looked ahead. "…We're close."
Koneko smirked. "…Yeah. I can feel it."
Saeko rested her blade on her shoulder. "…The deeper we go…"
"…The easier it becomes."
Asia looked down at her hands again, still slightly surprised—but smiling softly. "…I can help more…"
Astra grinned widely. "Yeah you can—you're basically carrying support right now!"
Haruto turned slightly.
"…Keep going."
Floor 81.
Each one harder—
But falling faster.
Because now—
Every advantage stacked.
EXP Share.
Auto Buff.
Auto Debuff.
Perfect coordination.
And by the time they reached Floor 90—
The Dungeon wasn't reacting anymore.
It was falling behind.
The world realized it.
"…They're overwhelming everything…"
"…Nothing is stopping them…"
Inside the Dungeon—
The party stood at the entrance of Floor 90.
The air was heavy.
Different.
Astra floated quietly now. "…Okay… this one's serious."
Alice confirmed. "Boss-level presence detected."
Ais Wallenstein stepped forward. "…Then we finish it."
Haruto looked ahead.
Silent.
Absolute.
"…Go."
And with that—
They stepped forward.
Ready to break the next wall—
Like all the others.
