Episode 111 D-class adventurer
Face-to-face with a five-meter-long gigantic bear at close range, fear welled up.
The ArmorBear reached out with its long paws and swept sideways to tear me apart with its claws. I used QuintCatapult to throw my body straight up.
The moment the magic was canceled and my body began to fall, I slammed a SeventhHighBlade into the giant bear's head. The power of the SeventhHighBlade and the defensive power of the ArmorBear's scales balanced each other out.
Being hit by the SeventhHighBlade, the giant bear staggered and landed on its buttocks. I activated 'Airbag' to land and take some distance. I knew the reason why I couldn't finish it with the SeventhHighBlade.
With this magic, the timing was important. It was a magic that exerted its maximum power when the distance between the monster and myself was 8 to 10 meters. The distance was short this time.
The giant bear stood up and let out a terrifying roar. My body shivered, and I felt like the hairs all over my body stood on end. I held my Black Staff raised and waited quietly.
There was a long way to go. When I waited for the ArmorBear to approach a little more, the giant bear began to run on all fours. I activated the SeventhHighBlade by swinging down the Black Thoughts Staff that I held in a raised position.
The SeventhHighBlade swung diagonally downwards and hit the giant bear's right shoulder with a shockwave. This time the power of the SeventhHighBlade overcame its scales.
In the next moment, a strong wind generated by the shockwave blew in and ruffled my hair. When I looked at it to see if I had killed it, the ArmorBear spat out blood from its mouth. However, it wasn't dead.
"Is it impossible with just a single attack from SeventhHighBlade."
The giant bear ran towards me with ferocious momentum. I aimed at the bear's wound and fired a SeventhThunderArrow.
The SeventhThunderArrow that flew at high speed hit the scales and emitted an electric current. The current flowed into the blood and entered the body. The AmorBear let out a cry of pain and staggered.
Thinking it was my chance to finish it off, I activated the SeventhHighBlade again. The large V-shaped plate swung down at the speed of sound bit into its head and crushed its head. The blast that occurred immediately afterward tossed the monster's giant body away.
I felt something inside my body emit a thumping sound. It seemed that my magic level had risen for the first time in a long time. I reached magic level 13. I was relieved to see the ArmorBear turn into a blue magic stone

"Stunning. It was a fight that I could watch with peace of mind."
Tarumizu said his impression.
"Am I qualified?"
"Of course. Congratulations."
I was glad and stroked my chest. Alisa and the others were improving their abilities, so they would be E-class soon. Before that, I wanted to become D-class.
I picked up the magic stone. That's when I noticed something else had dropped. A liquid drop in a red glass container.
"Is this an elementary healing magic potion."
I took out the protective case from my Magic Pouch, put the elementary healing potion in it, and put it away in the Magic Pouch.
"You're lucky. The ArmorBear's drop item is only found once every 20 of them."
Tarumizu told me the probability of getting items as drops. I noticed that the probability was different from what I heard at the Adventurer's Guild.
"Isn't it two percent?"
"That's the probability in intermediate dungeons. In advanced dungeons, the drop rate is higher."
Advanced dungeons were dangerous, but the income was large.
"Come on, let's go back."
At Tarumizu's instructions, we began to return.
We returned to where Kyougoku and the others were waiting, and one of the Attack Wizards headed to defeat the ArmorBear.
"How was it?"
Kyougoku asked.
"Oh, I passed."
"Congratulations. Life Magic is also amazing."
We waited while chatting.
The Attack Wizard came back, carried by Tarumizu. It looked like they were injured. However, it seemed that the wound was not a big deal and they couldn't walk because they ran out of magic.
Next was Kyougoku. A little later he was limping a little, but he returned with a smile. Everyone went to defeat the ArmorBear one after another and came back, but it seemed that only me and Kyougoku were able to defeat the giant bear.
After the test was over, we returned to the ground and headed to the Adventurer's Guild. Kyougoku and I went through the procedures at the guild and updated our adventurer cards from E-class to D-class.
I was tired that day, so I stayed at the hotel again.
Lying on the bed, I recalled the battle with the ArmorBear. I didn't get a chance to use 'Heat Shell' in that fight.
After all, 'Heat Shell' was difficult to use because it took time to attack.
"If there was a 'Push' that could be used against monsters like the ArmorBear, it would have been easier to fight."
I couldn't use SeventhPush. I intended to push it away, but if it withstood the SeventhPush and approached, I would have been attacked.
'Push' was a magic that could be learned at magic level 1, so its strength and speed were not a big deal. If you activated it seven times, it showed great power, but I knew that it wasn't strong enough against the monsters I would encounter in the middle and higher levels of the intermediate dungeon.
An idea popped into my head. It was a magic that created a round shield-like shape with bumps like a meat hammer with D-Particles and shot it while rotating at high speed.
I launched the Sage System and created magic. By adjusting the strength, rotation speed, and shooting speed, it became a magic that could be learned at magic level 7.
I created it as a defensive magic for the time being, but I had a feeling that the power would be amazing. I wanted to try it right away, but it was midnight at the hotel. I decided to try it the next day and went to bed.
The next day, when I returned to Shibugami City and reported that I had become D-class to the Adventurer's Guild, I entered the Suigetsu Dungeon and headed for the forest area on the second floor.
In the forest area, there was a place where large trees with a diameter of over 80 centimeters gathered. I went there and activated the new magic towards the trunk of one tree.
It was a single new magic that was not activated multiple times. A plate that looked like a circular shield rotating at high speed was shot at an initial speed of about 100 kilos. The plate that hit the trunk rotated at high speed, leaving deep scratches on the surface of the trunk and disappearing.(TN:100 kilos of what, per hour? per second? per minute? Author ... >.<)
I approached the target tree and checked. The scars carved into the trunk were about five centimeters deep. At the base of the tree, stripped bark and shattered wood debris fell.
"With a single activation, it seems like I can defeat an Orc."
It should have been a defensive magic to replace 'Push' but it was clearly an offensive magic. Whatever. It wasn't like I couldn't use it for defense.
I named the shape made of D-Particles 'Ogre Plate' and the magic 'Ogre Push'. I thought the surface of the Ogre Plate resembled the rugged face of an Ogre.
