"R-Raven Eltharion…?"
"A-Aude?"
"And… the witch Alfia?!"
"Th-That's a mutant-type monster?!"
Ryuu's eyes widened in utter shock, her mind unable to comprehend what she was seeing.
She couldn't tell if this was reality or a dream resurfacing after so long.
Her once-cherished comrade Alise, her dear friend Aude, and the witch Alfia—
All of them had died before her eyes… and now they were standing here again.
So deeply entrenched in despair and pain, her senses had nearly shut down.
Ryuu's eyelids quivered.
Tears, clear as crystal, continued to stream from her eyes.
"Ryuu, long time no see~~"
Aude stepped in front of her and gently supported the broken Ryuu.
"Little Ryuu, you're all healed now."
Marle's gentle healing magic had restored her injuries.
"No more crying."
Aude reached out with her fair fingers and softly wiped away Ryuu's tears and the blood at the corner of her lips.
That bright, sunny smile on her face—was still just as comforting to Ryuu as ever.
"Miss Ryuu?"
"So you're the one who caused all this commotion?"
"I know you probably have a lot to say… but let us take care of the rest now."
Raven leapt down from the head of the blood-red Juggernaut he had summoned and landed on the ground.
The top priority—
Was obviously dealing with the black Juggernaut right in front of them.
Raven quickly scanned the area and understood what had happened.
"Still…"
"Alise, you all really got here fast."
When he reached the entrance to the 25th floor, he had found all the passageways already collapsed.
With no other choice—
He had used spatial teleportation magic.
Now before him stood a black Juggernaut—3 meters tall, 10 meters long, and a 4-meter tail.
But compared to the blood-red Juggernaut beside him, it looked like a little brother.
"So this is the monster that wiped out your Familia?"
"I don't think its potential is all that impressive."
Level 9 [Empress] Lagnarus scoffed, a flicker of disdain in her eyes.
To her—
It was a one-move kill at best.
"Elven girl, stop staring blankly."
"I'll show you what real despair looks like."
Level 8 [Silent] Alfia lightly clenched her gloved fist.
The implication:
She was going to handle the Juggernaut.
"Hey now, Alfia, that's my prey—you're not taking this from me."
Lagnarus stepped forward to face the monster before anyone else could.
"Raven, can you let me take care of this Juggernaut?" Alise asked, clad in flame-wreathed armor and staring sharply at the destroyer.
The black Juggernaut, missing one arm, scraped its reverse-jointed legs against the floor.
In a leap, it suddenly vaulted twenty meters into the air, clinging to the ceiling.
"…Ah, geez."
Raven looked troubled.
Everyone wanted their moment in the spotlight. He didn't know who to send in.
However…
"Gyaaarghhh!"
The Level 9 blood-red Juggernaut suddenly let out a deep rumble.
Rather than argue with the humans—
It acted.
Without hesitation, it launched itself at its black counterpart.
Its speed—beyond sound.
Before the enemy could even react—
Its six crimson, cursed claws slashed through the air in a vivid arc.
With a deafening crack—
A shattering impact echoed as blue-violet armor fragments were blasted apart.
But the blow didn't stop there.
The red Juggernaut's terrifying strength continued to surge forward.
BOOM!
Even the ceiling was cleaved—three deep fissures tore across it.
"GYAAARRGH!"
The black Juggernaut, now torn to pieces, fell to the ground like a shattered dinosaur skeleton.
This… was the red Juggernaut's instant-kill on first encounter.
The battle was already over—
Without suspense.
It only took a single round.
A demonstration of overwhelming arm strength, claw strikes that could crush anything—
And…
An explosive speed no one could replicate, with annihilation power beyond reason.
This moment—
The red Juggernaut showcased its full might.
"O-One hit…?!"
Ryuu's pupils dilated, completely stunned.
"H-How…?!"
Even Jarrah, watching from the shadows, was left speechless.
So this is what true despair looks like?
Only the blood-red Juggernaut deserved to be called true Despair.
And through the summoning magic—
Every monster it defeated still indirectly contributed to Raven Eltharion's stat growth.
