Episode 110 ArmorBear

I activated 'Auto Shield' and switched on the black scale armor to increase my defensive power. Then, I gripped the Black Staff in my hand and concentrated on the movement of the D-Particles.

The Attack Wizards launched a preemptive strike with 'Fire Burst' and 'Crash Bullet', then retreated. It seemed that about 15 enemies were killed in that attack.

The two Muscle Wizards used magic to increase their physical abilities and attacked the pack of BlackHyenas. I walked out slowly.

A group of BlackHyenas that didn't face the Muscle Wizards attacked me. To the first BlackHyena that jumped at me, I hit the BlackHyena with a Rapier Thrust and finished it off.

In an instant, it returned to the shape of a Black Staff, and I fired another Rapier Thrust at the BlackHyena that attacked next. For the third BlackHyena, I activated a quadruple-activated Palm Strike Push and flipped it away.

I didn't activate 'Sensing Zone', but I could feel the movement of the D-Particles at close range. Recently, I had been training to expand the range I could feel.

The training was useful this time. For the BlackHyenas that attacked from behind, I repelled them with my Palm Push, and for the BlackHyenas that attacked from the front, I killed them with a Rapier Thrust.

Of course, if several BlackHyenas attacked at the same time, there were times when I couldn't respond in time. The D-Particle Shield dealt with them automatically.

After defeating the 4th and 5th, I had no time to count. Concentrating so much stretched my sensory time. The movements of the BlackHyenas began to feel slow.

I aimed my Black Staff at the BlackHyena with a minimal movement and fired a Rapier Thrust, then returned it to the original Black Staff.

Before I knew it, the BlackHyenas had disappeared from my surroundings. I beat them all. Looking at the other examinees, it seemed that everyone was looking at me after finishing the battle.

The feeling of having time stretched out during the fight this time may have been a great harvest. If I could use it freely, it would be a huge increase in strength.

When I counted while picking up the magic stones that had fallen around me, there were fourteen. Kyougoku was approaching. He seemed surprised by the magic that repelled the BlackHyenas' attacks.

"What kind of magic did you use?"

When adventurers see magic they don't know, they just want to know. However, you are not obligated to answer. However, in the case of 'Auto Shield', it was registered with the Magic Agency, so it was easy to find out if he looked it up.

"It's a defensive Life Magic called 'Auto Shield'."

"So there's such a thing. I wonder if I can learn Life Magic."

Kyougoku seemed to have a 'D' magic talent for Life Magic.

I had no intention of meddling in the fighting styles of others who weren't even my students. However, I only advised him that if he got stuck with Muscle Magic, it might be a good idea to learn Life Magic.

After conquering the mountainous area, we descended to the 5th floor.

The first thing I felt when I descended to the 5th floor was the choking smell of greenery. Intermediate level dungeons also had forest areas, but they felt a bit artificial.

However, the forest area of the advanced dungeon felt like entering a real forest. Somehow, the idea that the degree of perfection was different came to mind.

Kyougoku pulled out a magic power counter to check how much magic power he had left. It didn't look very good. When I saw that, I became worried, so I checked mine with a magic counter.

About 30% of my total mana was consumed. The amount of magical power was proportional to the amount of D-Particles accumulated in the body. Therefore, the problem was how to accumulate D-Particles efficiently.

I knew that defeating a large amount of monsters would be an effective way to accumulate them. In my case, the monster extermination speed was fast, so I defeated many monsters per hour.

However, since I was doing magic development and karate training, the time I spent hunting in dungeons was a little short. As a result, my total mana capacity was average for an E-class adventurer.

It was said that many E-class adventurers who took the D-class promotion test had the same amount of mana and the same level of magic. It may be natural because they will examine such ability and give permission to take the promotion test.

In my case, the experience of defeating a Vagabond was taken into account, so the amount of magical power and magic level of the other examinees might be higher.

Even if Kyougoku-tachi's magical power was slightly higher than mine, they didn't have the 'Ring of Double Efficiency', so they might have cut half of their remaining mana. There were some people who were worried about defeating the ArmorBear and thought about returning to the ground.

Tarumizu stood in front of us and announced.

"Now, in what order will you defeat ArmorBears?"

The examinees faced each other. I guessed they wanted to fight after recovering their magic even a little. No one came forward. It couldn't be helped, so I raised my voice.

"I'll go first."

"That's fine. Follow me. The rest of you, wait here."

Tarumizu and I started walking through a maze-like animal trail in the forest. Tarumizu seemed to know where an ArmorBear was.

"By the way, is there a Life Magic that can defeat an ArmorBear?"

"There are two."

"Hou, Life Magic is also amazing."

I turned my gaze to Tarumizu.

"How does a Muscle Wizard defeat an ArmorBear?"

"Using a Magic Weapon or aiming at the ArmorBear's weak point."

I could only think of the ArmorBear's weakness as its eyes, but there may be others. I wanted to ask him about it, but Tarumizu, who was in the position of an examiner, wouldn't tell me.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, we found what appeared to be a bear's den.

"There's an ArmorBear in there. Kill it."

I thought about how to lure the ArmorBear out of its burrow and tossed a QuintThunderBowl into the burrow. Then, a roar was heard from the depths of the burrow, and a huge bear appeared. I switched on the black scale armor.

"Well then, let's try it."

I decided to test whether lightning-type magic would work. I fired a SeventhThunderArrow at the ArmorBear's chest.

The flying SeventhThunderArrow hit the ArmorBear's armor-like scales. The SeventhThunderArrow, which caused an electrical discharge phenomenon and crackled while trying to bite into the chest of the giant bear, was finally repelled by the magical effect hidden in its scales and disappeared.

It seemed that the magical effect hidden in the ArmorBear's scales was greater than the power of the SeventhThunderArrow. Still, it seemed that I did a little damage, and the ArmorBear attacked me with angry eyes.
