The twelfth floor of the dungeon.

As the last layer of the upper layer, the monsters of the twelfth layer have reached the peak of the upper layer in terms of strength, number and refresh rate.

And in this mist, in the face of the monsters that surrounded the two of them, Emiya Shirou and Refia were fighting non-stop.

"Ah!!h

Constantly waving the spear in her hand, Refia, who knew the essence of the 'blind slashing genre', was stunned to use the spear into a club.

Shirou had the foresight to lengthen the head of this spear so that even slashing could effectively damage the enemy.

But the most important thing is the basic attribute of Refia's crushing potential.

In the face of the ferocious monster, Refia wielded her spear to the death.

This is typical attribute suppression.

"Calm down, Refia."

"You can also see that your enemy simply can't withstand your blow, calm down and deal with the opponent with your own consciousness instead of relying on your body."

Constantly slashing in the midst of the monsters, Shirou Emiya, who is at ease, even has the afterglow to point at Refia.

I have to say that the increase in level is too great.

"Yes, Mr. Shirou."

Refia gradually calmed down, and after these three layers of exploration, she had a clear judgment of the enemy's strength in her heart.

Even with the spear in her hand with a random dance, she has destroyed a lot of monsters.

Gradually, she became firm.

"Whoa!"

Looking at the orcs who were gradually approaching her, Refia clutched the spear in her hand tightly.

Although she had never used such a weapon, what she had seen and heard during the expedition had made her know how to use it.

Guns are for stabbing!

Raising the spear in her hand and aiming it at the orc on the opposite side, Refia shouted and rushed forward.

But this time, she didn't close her eyes again, but firmly remembered this scene in her heart.

"Die!"

With Refia shouting.

The huge orc was pierced in an instant, and its weak body collapsed, and then gradually turned into ashes.

"I did it!"

Looking at the spear in her hand, Refia's eyes shone with pleasure.

This is the first monster she has ever killed in close quarters with her own will.

Although as an orthodox magician with a magic specialization, the accumulation of power in the first two levels of Refia is not very strong, but the qualitative changes brought about by the upgrade are still not something that LV.1 can handle.

Otherwise, how can it be called a great feat to defeat the monster of LV.2 with the strength of LV.1?

The reason why Emiya Shirou was able to easily defeat LV.2 at LV.1. Relying on his weapons and martial arts that far surpass those of adventurers of the same level.

Otherwise, the LV.1 with a normal weapon will not even be able to break the skin of the LV.2 Minotaur.

And with martial arts, you can effectively make yourself attack monsters, and monsters can't attack yourself.

In the face of LV.1 half-orcs who are not proficient in martial arts, Refia, who is also non-skilled in martial arts in LV.3, can be described as level crushing.

After killing the orc in front of her, Refia, who had grown in self-confidence, rushed towards the next monster with a spear in hand, no longer passively waiting for the monster to attack.

For Refia, as long as she can strengthen her fighting spirit, then the monsters here are no match for her at all.

That's exactly what happened now.

Although the gun in her hand was still very immature, with the crushing of her rank, Refia actually slaughtered in all directions in the monster pile.

Looking at this scene and killing the monster in front of him, Emiya Shirou no longer continued to fight, but looked at Refia's immature fighting posture.

"Sure enough, with Refia's LV.3 level, these monsters can't even bring her much damage, and the suppressive power between the levels is too strong!"

Looking at Refia, who rushed into the monster pile because of her recklessness and was attacked one after another but did not suffer any damage, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh.

The oppressive force between the ranks can be seen from this.

Normally, the monsters in the dungeon are all tabula rasa.

They have a huge base stat, but that's about it. With their superb martial arts, as well as rare skills and magic, powerful adventurers can always defeat the strong.

But there are also some elite monsters with abilities that are different from ordinary monsters.

For example, the mid-level Cerberus.

Without the defense of the fire essence weaving, once completely hit by the flames of the Cerberus, the adventurer of LV.2 will be instantly charred, and there is no ability to resist.

And these monsters are all difficult to deal with in the dungeon.

"It seems that with Refia's basic attributes, even if she enters the middle level, it is enough to be a front row, but her weapon needs to be changed."

Looking at Refia's fighting style, Emiya Shirou felt that perhaps a sword was more suitable for her than a spear.

After all, as an orthodox magician, Refia's focus in the future is still on magic, even if it is close defense, it can't consume too much energy, but the study of spears is very difficult.

"I knew I shouldn't have made a spear for her because she used a staff, and it's good to use a sword! Or can you use your fists and kicks? ”

None of this matters.

The important thing is that in the face of a sudden attack, she must have the ability to fight it, so that she can chant magic with confidence.

While it's important to trust your teammates, it's even more important to have your own strength.

In "Attack on Titan", in the face of the giantess's pursuit, Alan finally chooses to trust his companions, and then Leviban's army is almost completely wiped out.

In the final analysis, it is your own strength that is more important.

As the saying goes, if your father has your mother, it's better to have it yourself.

You can't go wrong with improving your strength.

"Isn't it? Is that really Refia? ”

Hearing a familiar voice, Emiya Shirou looked back and saw that it was Iona's voice.

And next to her, there were Téogne and Ace.

"Why are you here, you can't be following us, right?"

Hearing Emiya Shirou's question, Tiogne rolled his eyes angrily, are they so bad?

"We came out a little late because we were going to the Gu Bo Niu clan to get weapons, and we happened to meet the two of you when we came here."

I see!

Emiya Shirou suddenly realized, indeed, after all, when the three of them sent the weapon for maintenance yesterday, he was also there.

"It doesn't matter, what matters is how did Refia become a warrior? She's an important magician! ”

Looking at Tione's oversized expression, Emiya Shirou sighed that this was indeed the case.

The magicians of this world are exactly the orthodox mages of Western fantasy stories.

Unlike later generations, affected by the balance of the game, mages are just one of many adventurer classes.

The magicians of this world also have their own noble attributes.

Also, after all, the ability of the magicians in this world is indeed very strong.

If you compare it to Heroic Spirits, the vast majority of adventurers are vanilla Heroic Spirits with no inherent skills and treasures.

A small number of elite adventurers are Heroic Spirits who have treasures and skills, but mainly focus on white-knuckle combat.

And the magician is a heroic spirit who washes the floor with a treasure.

Unlike Caster's rank in the Moon World, the magic of the Earth Error World itself is equivalent to the Heroic Spirit's Treasure.

Therefore, the magic attack of the Magus is actually equivalent to the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm attack.

The heroic spirit who only attacks with a treasure will ask you if you are afraid.

From this, you can know how high the status of the magician is in this world.

However, Emiya Shirou is not messing around, and after telling the three of them about his purpose, they fall into deep thought.

"Do you use melee combat to boost your guts? That's a bold idea. ”

Although it sounds ridiculous at first glance, when you think about it, Tione feels that there is some truth.

After all, isn't Refia the best example at this time?

Looking at Refia, who was constantly fighting in the monster pile, Esther's expression suddenly chuckled: "Refia has become stronger!" ”
