Red Cavern Boss Fight

"The rest… is up to you…!"

"Eh? Ah, yes."

With those parting words, the other player's warrior dissolved into particles of light.

HP 0. The retirement effect.

Karona had caught up to the front line at last.

And then she'd been left behind. At the front line.

"Er… so essentially, I must single-handedly bonk that dragon flitting about overhead to death. I see… Yes, even if he's battered and bruised, taking on a boss alone…"

Here she'd thought she would finally get to enjoy some proper party play in a multi dungeon, and now it was just solo after all.

There's simply no showcase value for the stream here, Karona sighed to herself.

"ojou, you're about to get surrounded!"

"Oh my. Even if they are only slimes, I mustn't let my guard down. Well then, well then."

First, she needed to thin out the slimes just enough to avoid being swarmed, all while bringing down the dragon. She pieced her strategy together.

It looked like ranged attacks were going to be a must.

"… Hmm. It seems the only option is to unleash an ojou-sama-style ranged attack～!"

"uh, ojou, you sure? ranged attacks cost money y'know"

"does our karona-jou even have any ranged skills to begin with"

"Hmph, don't underestimate me now. As one who aspires to true celebrity, I have, of course, cultivated such arts～!"

Karona grinned with self-assured confidence. The chat stayed skeptical.

Then, with a deliberate flourish, Karona snapped her parasol closed. A twirl, a click to lock it—and she gripped it by the tip, holding it out with the handle pointing down.

"Behold! The ojou-sama's! Celebrity ranged attack～!"

Her target: a slime that had conveniently wandered right up to her feet. That round core at its center!! Aim slightly low!!

"Dosseeeeeei～☆"

Pakaaaaaan☆

The slime, launched by the full swing of her parasol, soared high, high into the air and slammed straight into the dragon above.

"What a splendid shot～～! Ohohoho, golf is a pastime of the celebrity class, I'll have you know～!!"

"p-parasol golf!? lmao haven't seen a salaryman do that in years lol"

"ah. this is the thing from the clip earlier"

"oh that the clip-niki? yeah this is the highlight"

"A slime's core sits at just the right height for this, you see. There, there, there! Off to the driving range with unlimited swings～! I'm aiming for the home run prize～!!"

"ojou that's a batting cage"

"ah but damn. the dragon really is taking solid damage from this"

To Karona, the mass of slimes swarming her was nothing more than a ball dispenser. And the dragon made for a perfect backstop net.

The dragon tried to breathe fire down on Karona, but a slime flew right into its mouth, clogged it, and boffu, the dragon self-combusted.

"A hole-in-one～! My form is on point today～!!"

"lol the dragon's on the verge of tears lmao"

"this is just one-sided slaughter lmao"

As the hits kept landing, the dragon's altitude steadily dropped, making it easier and easier to land ever-more-forceful "balls" on it.

Just as it seemed she might reach it with a jump, the dragon finally ran out of strength and crashed to the ground.

A Dungeon Core rose up from the boss room floor with what looked like resignation, so, just like in a daily, she drove her final "ball" into it to destroy it.

Congratulations!! The dungeon clear effect rose into view.

"Phew… Hm? Does this mean it's over?"

Karona wiped the sweat from her brow. Since she was a digital avatar, her forehead was perfectly dry.

"In the end, I did little more than take a solo stroll and play a round of golf for the stream. Hm? Come to think of it, perhaps it was quite an elegant stream after all?"

"incredible, taking down a dragon by whacking slimes at it lol…"

"witnessed a truly ugly ranged attack lol. slime golf really is a pastime of the celebrity class lolol"

"this is yamato, the warrior who bowed out earlier. thanks to you i recouped some of my losses. thank you. subbed to your channel and hit like three times"

"Eh!? Ah, yes! Thanks to Yamato-sama whittling him down, I was able to finish him off～!! Thank you so very much for the sub and the like～!!"

Karona waved eagerly toward the comment section. She'd managed to have at least a bit of the exchange one expects from a multi dungeon, and she felt quietly satisfied.
