That headless human-shaped monster…. Predator was headed in my direction.

When he was right before me, that guy stood still.

「Kuh, KILL ME NO-..」

I looked straight at the predator as I said so.

The predator kicked me and then stomped on my back with its foot.

「What the….」

This guy picked me up by my feet.

Then I realized.

This guy was about to rip my foot.

It was clear that this guy liked to toy around with its prey.

I shut my eyes as I made a desperate wish in my heart.

Please stop this guy, or give me a swift death.

Alas… My wish was but an empty wish as that guy twisted my knee towards an impossible angle.

I let out a loud scream.

I couldn't even struggled since this guy had his foot pressed against my back.

「Help….. ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME! 」

When I tried to move my leg, the predator suddenly pressed its weight on me.

It felt like it was about to  break my back.

Something red started gushing from my mouth.

Under such pain and fear, I let out a mute scream.

Right at that moment, a black light wrapped the area around me.

Though I'd expected it to be the predator….. I felt the predator raise its foot that was weighing on my back and then it started to hastily look around its surrounding.

「It's been a while since I woke up from my sleep and yet…. This 《Cocytus》 is still filled with these ugly demons, huh.」

A white girl floated behind the predator.

She wore a strange white mantle, something that looked like characters, was printed on it in gold color.

Her white skin was so pale as if she has no blood running through her veins.

The tips of her white hair was the color of blood.

Her heterochromia pupil of blue on the right and crimson on the left was as cold as a frozen lake.

Her prominent features were her small mouth, high nose, and large eyes.

And more than anything else, her beautiful white-porcelain-like skin.

She was a transcendent beauty.

Rather than a human, she was akin to a perfect sculpture.

「Time-s.p.a.ce Magic, 24th Rank《Nil》」

As soon as she said so, the Predator's body was swallowed by a black light. Then, it vanished.

Perhaps, because the Predator frantically waved its arms, I felt its arms slid on top of my body.

The black light vanished, and with it the Predator.

The girl moved towards me.

Her heterochromatic eyes staring down at me, an indifferent look on her face.

「Ah, Aaaah…」

Well, I did ask for someone to save me; but when I tried to express my grat.i.tude…. I couldn't even speak properly.

「Time-s.p.a.ce Magic, 23rd Rank;《Retrograde》」()

Thus, she chanted the next spell.

A white magic circle expanded as light enveloped my body.

My flesh and blood that had scattered around me, started to make their way back towards me; settling into their original position―― Or should I say that my body was reconstructed?

「Ah, AAAAAAAAAAH……」

Part 2

I tried to speak.

The wound on my feet and stomach were gone.

My right hand which should've been bitten off was back.

Is that……. even possible?!

The girl was looking at me.

A chill ran along my spine as soon as our eyes met.

She could kill me whenever she felt like it.

Moreover…. There was this kind of aura that radiated from her which made me want to leave as soon as possible.

I couldn't stop my body from trembling.

But then, there was no doubt that she was my benefactor.

「T-Thank you very much…. Though I don't know what happened just now, you're the one who saved my life, right?」

I bowed to her.

She kept glaring at me with an expressionless face.

「You must be an idiot for coming to 《Cocytus》. This isn't a place for a human like you.」

She scolded me.

「Y-You… Are a human too?」

「I am not a human you see. Only a fool won't notice such a fact despite standing before me. I am a lich, an existence who discarded their human life in exchange for eternal life. Please do not put me on the same level as those lowly humans.」

「M-My bad….」

I bowed to her.

…. Yup, that aura around her wasn't a human aura.

She was an even more dangerous monster than the Gluttony Mimic and Predator combined together.

This might sound strange-  she kept her ominous aura so that I wouldn't doubt her remarks.

I waited for a while for that girl to do something… she didn't say anything, even after some time had pa.s.sed.

The atmosphere in this place was getting rather awkward.

I guess I've to say something first.

But then, she might kill me the moment I displease her .

Though I wanted to probe some of her inner thoughts from her expression, SHE WAS COMPLETELY EXPRESSIONLESS.

What should I do now that I am in an even more dangerous situation than before?

Somehow, even my breathing became ragged simply due to her aura of intimidation.

「U-Uhm… I might be too impudent for asking this but, can you help me?!　At this rate, I……. most probably won't live for long….! 」

I used that moment to bow my head deeply.

I mean, she even saved me a while ago.

I might be able to convince her if I asked wholeheartedly.

Rather, I had no other choice but to do this.

「Since you seem to misunderstand something, let me to tell you something.」

「Eh ……？ 」

The girl swung her arm.

Her movement traced a long line on the crumbled wall behind me.

　E-EEEH?

D-Did I accidentally angered her?

「The reason why I live in this place is……… Because I hate humans who betrayed me.」

My sole hope was crushed by that girl's remark.

「That's why I…. Live in a place where humans can't even hope to reach, on the 90th floor of 《Cocytus》.」

　There goes my hope for leaving this dungeon.

Eh, Did she just say  90th floor?　Could it be that the dude who made this dungeon was an idiot?

Though I might be able to do something if it's just one or two floors, ninety floor was simply impossible.

Well it might be possible if there's some sort of elevator in this place but, as if such convenient tools exist in such depths.
