Episode 58 BigSheep hunting
I decided to join a team called 'Scarlet Moon's Envoy'. It's only for a month, but it looked like it would be a valuable experience.
The next day, we dived into the Suigetsu Dungeon.
Shou looked at my leather armor and made a face as if he wanted to say something.
"What? I don't have much experience exploring dungeons as a team, so I'll take your advice."
"Isn't that leather armor too weak to dive into an intermediate dungeon?"
The Orc Leather Armor I bought to dive into the beginner level dungeon. I was still using it while repairing it, but is it no good for the intermediate level dungeon?
"I see. Now that I think about it, maybe it's time to buy a new one."
"You were working solo. You must have been very lucky."
"Maybe so."
While talking about such things, we ran through the first floor and headed for the second floor. On the second floor, we encountered an AttackBoar, but Shou activated 'Bullet' and shot it down with a magic bullet.
The second floor was easily defeated, and even in the third floor wetland area, we broke through while killing JumboFrogs with a QuadArrow. Susumu, who was watching this, raised his voice.
"Hee, Life Magic also has a magic bullet-like magic. I didn't know that."
"It's a relatively new magic. It's name is 'Cone Arrow'."
Yui, the only female, joined the conversation.
"Hey, hey, did Grimm become an E-class adventurer with just using 'Cone Arrow'?"
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"No way, Life Magic has other magic that can be used."
Shou nodded.
"I have a request, can you show me the magic you use often? I need it to think about tactics."
It seemed that Shou's role was to think about the team's tactics.
"Sure, of course I can. The magic I often use is 'Push', 'Cone Arrow', 'Javelin', and 'Blade'."
I told Shou that they were magic I often use, so it became four, but I think that 'Thunder Bowl', 'Thunder Arrow', 'Sensing Zone', 'Auto Shield', and 'High Blade' are also magic that I use.
However, if BigSheep is the opponent, 'Mowing' might be better.
I decided to use 'Push', 'Javelin' and 'Blade' against the two Orcs we encountered next.
"Leave it to me ... First is 'Javelin'."
First I fired a TripleJavelin at an Orc running from a distance. The blow pierced the Orc's chest and instantly killed it.
The other attacked by raising its club, so I fired a QuintPush. The Orc was knocked back.
"Just now was 'Push'."
"No way."
Yui raised her voice. What are you surprised about? Whatever.
"The last one is 'Blade'."
I raised my Tatakanata and waited for the Orc to stand up. I slammed the TripleBlade into the Orc who was staggering.
It cut through the Orc's chest and it vanished.
"Hee, that's amazing. So this is Life Magic."
Shou raised his voice with a surprised expression. At the beginning, it felt like a pleasant feeling of 'How amazing', but now it feels like 'Here we go again'.
There's a reason it feels that way. Because in the surprised voice, there is a sound that although it is amazing, compared to Attack Magic and Muscle Magic, there's still a long way to go.
'Cone Arrow' and 'Javelin' can be substituted with the Attack Magic 'Bullet', and 'Blade' can be used with a sword wielded by a Magic Swordsman who had been strengthened by magic.
"Thank you. I got it mostly. Now I can organize our tactics."
Shou thanked me. We passed through the 3rd floor and descended to the 4th floor. This was an area of grasslands dotted with rocks.
When we encountered the first BigSheep, I asked them to show an example of how to hunt it, so I was the only one on standby. The three confronted the BigSheep that was as big as a cow.
BigSheep's wool is extremely tough, so it was a difficult opponent for Susumu to fight against. So, the Attack Magicians Shou and Yui attacked first.
Shou used 'Crash Bullet' and Yui used 'Bullet'. The magic bullet pierced the BigSheep. But, it's not fatal. Next, the crushing magic bullet hit and damaged the BigSheep.
That was repeated several times, and when the BigSheep weakened, Susumu killed it with a thrust of a black iron sword. Unfortunately, no dungeon error occurred that time.
The magic stone was the only income.
"What do you think? If you have any ideas, tell me."
"That's right. It seems like it would be good for me to use the Life Magic 'Mowing' first and then attack."
Shou asked Yui.
"What is 'Mowing'?"
"Magic for mowing grass. Is that useful?"
"Seeing is believing. Let's try."
We searched for a BigSheep and started fighting.
"First, I'll approach and use 'Mowing', then everyone will attack."
As I approached the BigSheep, I activated 'Mowing' and cut off a portion of its wool.
"No way." "What the." "Whaa."
I heard three people's surprised voices. I feel refreshed at their voices. Because they're genuinely surprised.
"What's wrong. Attack!"
The three panicked and attacked. The BigSheep was easily killed. It took about one-fifth of the time.
"What's going on?"
After the BigSheep disappeared, Yui asked me bitingly.
"What?"
"How could you cut the wool of a BigSheep with 'Mowing'?"
"Aahh, is that what you mean? I found out that activating 'Mowing' against monsters would shave their fur, so I tried using it against a BigSheep before, and it turned out to be like this."
"That ... even I can use 'Mowing'."
"Eh, is that so?"
"Yui is more talented in Life Magic than Attack Magic."
She seemed to have a 'D' talent for Attack Magic, and a 'C' talent for Life Magic.
