Chapter 695 Rescue
But before he could greet everyone, the Creature suddenly lunged at him with fear on her face and brandished her greatsword with her full power, intending to cleave Kisuke in half.
But despite shattering the floor below them, Kisuke easily caught the greatsword with his hand. The fear and despair on the Creature\'s face consolidated Kisuke\'s initial guess that they could somehow tell that something was different about him.
Not dwelling on these thoughts any longer, Kisuke tugged and snatched the Creature\'s greatsword and gave her a roundhouse kick towards her stomach. The Creature tried blocking it with both of her arms, but it was for naught as both of them broke and didn\'t even mitigate the force behind the kick, sending her flying back and crashing into the wall.
Tossing the greatsword to the side, Kisuke resumed running while waving at Riveria and Ais, "It has been a while, Riveria-san, Wallenstein-san and the rest of Loki Familia. It\'s a shame that I can\'t stay and talk since I\'m in a hurry, but I wish you good luck with your endeavours~!"
Since the Creature wasn\'t his problem, Kisuke chose to leave her alone.
Kisuke reached the other side of the wall and demolished it, revealing the staircase which led towards the 13th floor. But before he left the stunned people, Kisuke first said, "It would be a good idea to leave now."
After he left, Ais immediately turned towards the Creature, Revis, however, she was already nowhere in sight. She tried to chase after her, but Riveria immediately stopped her as it wouldn\'t be good if she separated from the group. In any case, their mission was to hold Revis back and Kisuke did it for them, "Let\'s regroup with Finn and Gareth. They should have already reached the Evilus\' main room."
Ais nodded but as they ran, she suddenly asked, "Why does he keep calling me with my last name?"
Everyone momentarily stopped their steps, but immediately resumed their pace, except for one Hume Bunny girl who couldn\'t read the mood, "Isn\'t it because he wanted to keep his distance from you?"
Ais looked at her with widened eyes while the Hume Bunny continued, "I mean look, even though not completely casual, he still calls Riveria-sama by her first name, yet when it comes to you, it\'s always your last name."
Ais then recalled when Sona told her that Kisuke saw her as an annoying brat and without her knowing, she ended up pouting her mouth and murmuring while turning away from the group, "...I don\'t care... I\'m just an annoying brat anyway."
The girl looked at others as she found Ais\' reaction confusing and intriguing, "Eh? Did I say something wrong?", however, nobody answered her.

As he got through the 13th floor, Kisuke heard Sona, Koneko, Aika, Akeno and Irina\'s voice and contemplated whether or not he should meet them but instantly decided against it, \'They\'ll be fine.\'
From then on, there were no more eventful happenings for him within the Knossos until he reached the 18th floor and exited through there. As he reached the 25th where the Water City started, Kisuke immediately noticed the traces of large explosions that damaged the floor enough for a Juggernaut to spawn, \'I should hurry up.\'
Directly jumping down the Great Fall that connected the 25th, 26th and 27th floors together, it didn\'t take too long for Kisuke to locate the Juggernaut and Adventurers scattered on the ground, both dead and alive. The rescue target was nowhere in sight. Though he did notice a newly created hole in the ground.
\'Alright, time to test it out~\' While thinking that, Kisuke pointed his finger towards the Juggernaut and chanted, "Hadou no 4, Byakurai."
He rotated his energy according to a new design which he created to cast Shinigami spells and successfully converted his energy for his intended purpose. However, as lightning emerged from his fingertip, the energy inside him suddenly became an untamed wild horse, rushing through everywhere.
Kisuke hurriedly tried taking back his energy and canceling his Kidou, but he wasn\'t able to control it anymore, \'Crap!\'
A beam of white light pierced through the 27th floor, grazing the Juggernaut and creating another hole in the ground. But even though it was just a graze, a third of the Juggernaut still disappeared into oblivion, forever annihilated.
Kisuke, on the other hand, dropped down with blood seeping through his orifices and his right arm entirely gone, \'I already expected a backlash, but I didn\'t expect it to be this much. If I\'m not careful, I might just blow myself up.\'
It was only a minute later that Kisuke was able to calm the energies inside him and move again, albeit a bit rigid. But instead of finishing off the wailing and retreating Juggernaut, he instead walked towards one of the Adventurers laying on the ground that was still alive. With a large smile on his face, he asked, "Excuse me~ May I ask which direction Gale went?"
For Mord, however, the smiling arm-less bloody-faced man was far more terrifying than the Juggernaut. Still, he was able to gather enough courage to answer. Carefully monitoring and controlling his bladder for him not to leak, he slowly pointed towards the hole that Kisuke noticed when coming down, "O-o-over there... T-the Lambton ate her..."
Kisuke\'s expression became serious and said, "Thanks.", before running towards the said hole and jumping in it. Although the Lambton, a 5-meter wide and 10-meter long snake which was officially known as Worm Well, could dig and travel through the Dungeon, it didn\'t mean that it just left the holes unfilled.
A few meters after his jump, Kisuke landed. However, the ground was soft enough that he would be able to follow the monster\'s digging path. Without further ado, he dived to the soft ground, propelling himself with the still unstable energy.
