Volume 5 Chapter 14 There Is No Greater Pleasure For The Strong Than To Be Able To Go All Out
There are many types of dungeons, but when they become 'natural type' and go deeper, scholars say there's a better way to describe them.
That is, 'another world.'
In a dungeon with stone-like paths, a big attack would create a shockwave and affect other adventurers in some way.
But nature is nature. If you go deep into a forest, no matter what happens there, it doesn't affect the outside world.
Also, because of how dungeons are made, what happens inside stays inside, and outside influences can't get in.
The inside and outside only connect in very rare cases, like when Horace used Terra Disas's 'Disaster Core' to cause chaos.
But without using that, no one outside can see what's happening inside the dungeon.
Not even the Five Divine Gods.
Horace thinks 'the Sealed God's power might choose the final dungeon boss,' but that's just a 'feature,' not a way to watch what's happening.
Without anyone stopping or bothering you, you just fight the enemy in front of you.
And if you reach the deepest part alone, and that final boss is strong enough to make you use all your power...
At that moment, it's best to forget everything else and just focus on fighting.

"Ooooooooh!"
A loud roar came from deep in his stomach.
Magical power burst out like a volcano, covered his sword, and he swung it down.
Horace, with a fierce smile unlike his usual self, attacked without holding back.
"..."
Gai raised his sword from below in response.
He also covered himself in strong magical power, said nothing, but lifted his cheek and swung his sword.
More than a sword, it became a 'pillar' of magical power, crashing into Horace and shaking the ground—no, the whole world.
The one who kept using magic power longer was Gai.
Horace stepped back, but quickly charged again.
He took a stance like he was drawing a sword and released another full-power attack, making magical power surge.
Gai snorted, "Hmm," gathered magical power, and attacked back.
Their attacks collided.
The force was overwhelming.
The space couldn't handle it, and the magic needed for 'Sunlit Haven' went wild, turning the sky clear.
There was no visible change, but something happened that scholars would call 'impossible.'
"You look like you're having fun."
"Does it look that way? It really does. How long has it been since I could go all out?"
"On your journey, your biggest enemy was probably Terra. But what you showed was just your 'stabilization' skill, not your full strength."
Horace, who got Terra Disas's 'disaster core' and used it against 'God of Provisions Arzent,' wasn't controlling the power itself, but the 'key' inside that core.
Horace has never used his full power against a strong opponent.
But now, it's different.
"That's true. But now, it's different. The leader of the 'Four Source Maidens' Keystone Dragon' is right here. I'll collect all the data from fighting at full strength."
"I see, full strength... I've never feared those who can't give it their all. At most, I'll learn to do it in this fight."
No matter how strong someone is, if they can only fight like a normal person, there's no need to fear them.
He's not underestimating them.
Horace, who knows a lot of history, is aware of many 'legends' in this world.
He judges if he can reach their level and tries to learn ways to counter them.
That's normal.
Horace already knew about the 'Cross Palace.'
It can stop reincarnation and keep a place unchanged, and the dungeon's final boss is connected to the God of Sealing Shildress.
If you know this, you can guess you might face a legendary figure from the past.
Since he's already made the Five Divine Gods his enemies, he doesn't underestimate them, not knowing what they might do.
But in his plans, he's never needed to use his full power before.
That's all there is to it.
But for the future, he needs to practice using his full power.
"Oraaaaaaaa!!"
He put huge magical power into his sword and swung it down at Gai.
Again and again.
Gai watched with excited eyes, but with a small smile, he also attacked back.
...Just one point.
Gai, Zethar, and Terra all have something in common.
They have a 'full-power state' that greatly changes how they fight.
"It's about time."
Gai said quietly.
