Episode 154 Suigetsu Dungeon 25th floor
"Haah , you're saying that even with that power you can't defeat a FireDrake?"
I raised my voice in surprise. Some of the nearby adventurers glared at me.
I hurriedly escaped from the group of onlookers and entered the paid practice field. I closed the door and let out my breath.
"Fuu~h, you said something strange, so I raised my voice."
[ What exactly was strange? ]
"With that power, even a FireDrake should be able to be defeated."
[ I agree. If it hits, it might kill it. ]
"But, just like a proximity fuse, it should automatically explode when it gets close to a monster."
[ No, that wasn't 'Drake Attack', so it wouldn't explode. ]
"Are you saying it's a different magic?"
[ Yes. It's probably 'Rock Crash'. ]
'Rock Crash' was a magic that could be learned at magic level 12. The power was almost the same as 'Drake Attack', but it didn't have a function like a proximity fuse and would not explode unless it hit.
"Are you sure?"
[ Yes. If it was 'Drake Attack', it should emit magical power to detect if there are any monsters nearby, but I didn't feel such a thing from that magic. ]
"Is that what you were saying? Perhaps it was a mechanism to detect the magical power emitted by monsters and see if they're nearby."
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
According to Metis, that kind of sensing mechanism could not be used against monsters that were moving at high speed.
"If that's the case, I have a question. Why did Akagi-san use 'Rock Crash'?"
[ Possibly, 'Drake Attack' cannot be used. He has a bad personality, and was making fun of the onlookers, something like that, perhaps. ]
A B-class adventurer with a twisted mind, I have to be careful.
"Now, let's test the strength."
I stood 19 meters away from the concrete block and launched the Sage System. Then I activated 'Multiple Attack'.
About 50 centimeters in front of my outstretched right hand, 30 small D-Particle Piles appeared. The next moment, they were shot at the concrete block.
At a distance of 19 meters, 30 small D-Particle Piles spread out in a 3-meter circle and pierced the concrete block. They drilled a 3 cm hole in the concrete.
Of course, there were some that missed the concrete target, but it couldn't be helped. This magic could be activated multiple times, so I activated a TripleM-Attack.
The small D-Particle Piles made 10 cm holes in the concrete. 30 cm holes were made in the concrete in the case of a five-fold activation, and 70 cm holes were made in the concrete in the case of the seven-fold activation.
It was powerful enough to kill a RipperBird.
[ You should make sure it actually hits. ]
"That's right. And I have to practice quick shooting."
After registering 'Multiple Attack' in the Sage System, I went home after practicing quick shooting.
◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆
I headed to the 24th floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon to confirm 'Boomerang Wing' and 'Multiple Attack' in action.
After a day and a half, I arrived at the wilderness area on the 24th floor, activated 'Boomerang Wing', created an Inverted V-Shaped Wing and got on. I jumped up and started looking for a RipperBird.
After flying around the sky for about five minutes, I found a RipperBird. I started flying towards it. The flight speed was about 90 km/h.
The Inverted V-Shaped Wing was not a smart choice from an aerodynamic point of view. And yet, the only reason I chose this shape was that it wouldn't get in the way when attacking monsters lined up side by side with magic.
The RipperBird let out a cry and fired a Sonic Blade. I turned right and dodged the Sonic Blade. At that time, the lateral G pressed my body, but the seat supported me by wrapping my body.
"Okay, it's fine."
It was easier to maneuver than 'Wing'. Even so, the maneuvering itself was thought controlled, so it was a matter of ride comfort.
The RipperBird chased after me. I climbed up, did a somersault, and stuck myself behind the RipperBird. Then, when the flight speed was increased to 180 km/h and the distance was shortened, I activated QuintM-Attack.
Thirty small D-Particle Piles flew out and headed for the RipperBird. The RipperBird tried to avoid, but it couldn't escape from the range of the small D-Particle Piles radiating outwards.
Two small D-Particle Piles pierced the RipperBird and dropped it. I swooped down following the RipperBird. At that time as well, the G pressed on my body, but it was easier than before.
The RipperBird disappeared while it was falling. It turned into a magic stone and fell. I gave up on the magic stone and searched for another RipperBird.
I was satisfied after killing four RipperBirds. 'Boomerang Wing' and 'Multiple Attack' proved to be useful in actual combat.
I descended from the Inverted V-Shaped Wing and headed for the 25th floor. The 25th floor was a forest area, and there were WhiteKongs, 2.5 meter-tall white giant monkeys, and AssassinMantises, giant praying mantises that changed their body color like a chameleon.
Since WhiteKongs could be found immediately, I was able to kill them with a single TripleColdShot. But, AssassinMantis was troublesome.
If I didn't use 'Sensing Zone', I would be late in discovering them. AssassinMantis, who is motionless, sometimes isn't noticed even when using 'Sensing Zone'.
I noticed the moment it moved, but it took my best timing to barely activate a TripleP-Shield. I was horrified by this.
A human-sized praying mantis suddenly appeared and attacked with a large scythe. It was bad for my heart. It might be better to prepare a real shield for the AssassinMantis.
