The next floor was a path filled with various traps, and dozens of powerful arrows were fired at Sakuya the moment she entered while poison rained down, and swords and spears shot up from the ground.
However.
Clangs! Clangs!
Sakuya managed to break through all those traps with her katana; sometimes, she would swing her katana with brute strength, sometimes not. It was as if she was using those traps to hone her sword art further.
The second had no monster on it, only traps, and Sakuya easily conquered it. Afterward, she moved onto the next floor.
She stopped, frowning. She stared at the monster in the middle of the room. Unlike the first floor, where she immediately faced a few monsters before the boss, this floor only had one monster, the boss.
The boss was locked behind giant steel bars, and it had a terrifying appearance. It looked like a disgusting mix of Orc, Goblin, Ogre, etc. It had a face resembling various monsters, the body of an Ogre, the legs of an Orc, the tail of a Lizardman, and black wings from a griffin.
This monster towered over 7 meters tall.
"Kkyaaagh—!"
The boss screamed at the Sakuya that had appeared within its sights.
Just hearing its cry made an ordinary person's body feel like it was going numb.
''This time is a chimera. Dammit, I want to face a human opponent already.'' Sakuya seemed like she was complaining, but in fact, she was feeling happy; it was her first time facing this kind of monster.
Rattle, clunk—
Creeeeeak—
The chains and restraints on the Chimera were released. The steel bars that held the giant beast started fading and quickly disintegrated, and the monster was set free.
Sakuya wearing a nasty put her hand on her katana and announced.
''Yami Maho Jigen Giri!"
Smash—!
Rumble—!
Before the chimera could move and defend, Sakuya's dimensional slash arrived and cleanly cut the chimera into two. It has died even before it could attack; a level 95 died like that.
''Boring. I thought it could at least survive my dimensional slash, but I have overestimated it.'' Sakuya was a bit disappointed that the enemy just died like that.
Sakuya sighed before moving to the next floor. She was immediately welcomed by a giant monster, an ogre, a blue-skinned ogre holding a glaive.
''Yami (Darkness)''
Around Sakuya's sword, mana that emitted a black light started gathering.
And in a flash, she vertically passed through the ogre's body.
Shahh—
A gentle cutting sound.
Slash—!
The ogre's body was sliced in half, including its armor.
Thud, thud—
The ogre's corpse dropped to the ground, and the glaive that it tried to swing at Sakuya ended up getting buried in the dust.
Right after the death of the first ogre, more monsters appeared.
Thump, thump—
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the floor.
"Kweek, kkwi—!"
"Kkeeeek—!"
''Shukuchi!" Sakuya mumbled as she vanished, then
Phish—
A black line was drawn across the ogre's bodies.
Splash—!
Two ogres' heads were cut off, splattering blood everywhere.
Sakuya danced with her katana, harvesting lives like she was harvesting crops, and soon she had already cleared up this floor.
Before going to the next floor, Sakuya decided to check her status; she seemed to have leveled up after clearing the three floors.

''There is still one floor before the last floor where the shrine is.'' She strode toward the entrance to the next floor, and right after she entered, Sakuya began laughing.
''Finally, a human opponent,'' Sakuya mumbled while staring at the swordsman in front of her. She was sick of facing monsters. She wished to face another human in this trial. They would clash swords to see who was better, and finally, her wish came through; she was obviously happy.
She didn't know how the swordsman before him was created; he gave her a pretty dangerous feeling, suffocating at that. Above the man's head was.
[Swordsman Level 133]
The same level as Sakuya.
Sakuya extended her one of her slender hands forward.
Fwoosh—!
A wind ball was shot out from her hand.
Then black mana gathered around her katana, lengthening it. The katana, which grew multiple times in size, flew quickly towards the swordsman in front of Sakuya.
Klang—!
Two katanas clashed against each other.
Sakuya's eyes shined.
'He blocked the attack so easily?'
Sakuya was shocked; just as her katana was about slash the man's head off, he unsheathed his katana and blocked. She was not only shocked because the swordsman could easily block her attack, but there was also another reason, the katana held by the swordsman.
Kkk, kkk!
The swordsman's blade was on the brink of shattering. To begin with, it wasn't a proper sword. It was nothing more than a completely dull, rusted hunk of metal.
Sakuya wondered why the swordsman was using such a broken katana. Perhaps it was because this swordsman was looking down on her? Just imagining this possibility made the S Queen boil in anger; she almost became emotional and acted impulsively; however, she still succeeded in controlling her rage.
She must not fight her emotions clouded; taking a deep breath, she held her katana with more confidence. During this time, the swordsman did not attack her as if waiting for her to return to her senses.
Sakuya nodded and declared.
''Let's continue.''
