A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster

Litty Heads to the Center of the Nest

Everyone repeatedly took breaks and advanced to the far end, but they still could not find the destination they were seeking.
They hit dead ends, were ambushed from behind, and had to turn around numerous times.

With supplies dwindling, the search time was growing longer and longer.
No one was willing to check how much time had already passed.

It was not only their physical strength that was in question.
The cave was also too small.
It was where the sunlight could not reach, and no one knew when the Scarbs might attack.
Stress was so high that some of them were already on the verge of losing their sanity.

“Shhh, Branch Manager….
Let’s turn back.
As expected, we will be wiped out if we continue like this…”

“That’s right.
I’m sorry, but let’s call it the end.” (Branch Manager)

“Oh, no…” (Litty)

Even though Litty understood the reason in her head, she did not want to stop her search.
While everyone here was losing strength and nerves, Litty had yet to even lose her motivation.

From the previous battle, everyone knew that Litty’s strength had not declined, and she still had that weird mindset.
In terms of both vitality and mentality, this girl was definitely out of the ordinary.
Even though she was supposed to be their ally, they felt she was somehow different from them.

The Branch Manager also recognized her strengths, but he still could not tolerate such behavior.

“Physical strength wears off before you know it.
Besides, you should also be considerate of your team members.” (Branch Manager) 

“I understand…” (Litty)

“We’ve done some of the mapping.
The next time we come to the labyrinth, we should be able to proceed a little more easily.” (Branch Manager)

Mapping was essential when diving into deep labyrinths.
Depending on the dungeon, it may take days or even months to complete.
The Branch Manager looked at the handmade rough map in his hand and looked a little tired.

One of the unfilled branches should lead to the Queen, but everyone was nearing their limits.

“…Let’s turn back.
Hey, Gonza!” (Branch Manager)

“Okay! Then…” (Instructor Gonza)

Instructor Gonza in the back answered the Branch Manager’s call, but then he suddenly froze and stopped speaking mid-sentence.
There was a monster camped out in the dome-like area they had just passed.

The Branch Manager, sensing something was off, shoved his way through the group of adventurers and stood beside Gonza.

“Branch Manager, wha… what is that thing?” Instructor Gonza said in a startled tone.

“That… seems to be a Queen’s Guard.
I have a bad feeling about it from the size of the hive, but it was already born, huh?” (Branch Manager)

“No way…” (Instructor Gonza)

It was the Branch Manager who discerned the slightest behavior of the crawling monster.

After giving a brief introduction of the Queen’s Guard’s abilities and how the fight would be undertaken, Branch Manager released his first spear attack and then followed up with an onslaught of attacks that did not allow the monster to initiate a counterattack.

At the end, the spiral thrust hit the monster’s abdomen, sending it flying and slamming into the cave’s wall.

“Gonza! Dimos-san!” (Branch Manager)

The Branch Manager called out, completing the defensive wall as the three stood against the monster.
The rear guard of the party, Magicians, unleashed icicles, while Toito and James took up the challenge to attack from the blind spots.

Litty was dazzled by the brilliant coordination of those skilled adventurers.
As much as Litty wanted to contribute to the monster’s fight, she and Roma were responsible to ensure that no other Scarbs interfered with the monster’s fight and monitor the overall situation.
Moreover, they didn’t have enough experience to fight such a high rank monster they have never encountered before.

“Wow! That looks tough!” (Litty)

“Yes, but we are gaining an edge on it!” (Roma)

The mantis monster swayed loosely in front of the out-of-breath Branch Manager and instructors.
As soon as it did, several cuts occurred on the bodies of Instructors Gonza and Dimos.

Dimos stood up with a pained expression on his face, but Gonza was in a more dangerous state.

“Dimos-san, Gonza-san!” (Litty)

“Litty, no! Stay put!” (Roma)

Roma stopped Litty from getting a little too excited, as everyone needed to perform their given task properly.
