Episode 62 Lizard Soldier's room
I activated 'Light' without using 'Sensing Zone' and created a ball of light above my head. I wanted to save my magic power. Combined with Yui's ball of light, this much light source should be enough.
However, 'Sensing Zone' was not used, but somehow I could feel the movement of the D-particles, and I was able to detect the presence of the enemy within a radius of 5 meters.
"Let's move on."
Shou raised his voice and we started moving forwards. Then we defeated three LizardSoldiers. After that we reached a three-way fork.
"After this, each one leads to a large room."
Susumu told me. If you're unlucky, you might choose a room with a group of LizardSoldiers. So, it seemed that some teams would turn back here.
"What should we do. Are we going to turn back?"
I confirmed with Shou.
"Let's take the leftmost path. I want to collect more magic stones."
We agreed and started to move left. We defeated two LizardSoldiers and arrived at a large room. After Susumu quietly peeked inside, he came back to us.
"There are two LizardSoldiers."
We decided to fight. We jumped into the room all at once, and Shou fired a 'Fire Burst' first. It hit the LizardSoldier on the right and exploded. The blast hit us and the ball of light disappeared.(TN:'Team Play' when you don't consider your allies skills, etc ... Yup.)
That is why 'Light' isn't often used in dark combat. The ball of light disappeared due to the impact of the blast.
I quickly activated 'Light' to regain the light. Then, I turned around and released a TriplePush. I could feel something attacking me from behind just from the movement of the D-Particles.
Susumu leaped at the unbalanced LizardSoldier and finished it off.

"This is good. Even if I move violently, they don't slip even a little."
Susumu praised the Night Vision Goggles. I'm happy to own them, but it's a pity that I didn't have many opportunities to use them.
We wondered if there might be a hidden treasure chest. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it. So, we decided to go home. When we returned to the ground, we had eight red magic stones in our hands.
"It would be nice to hunt LizardSoldiers too. I wish we could hunt LizardSoldiers on the 8th floor, not in that cave."
It seemed that the KingSnakes on the 6th floor couldn't be broken through with the strength of Shou and the others. If Yui could quickly shoot QuadPush, it was a monster that could be defeated.
When I said that, Yui's eyes lit up.
"I will do my best. I will be able to do it as soon as possible."
Yui's fighting spirit seemed to flare up. If she did her best at this rate, she should reach magic level 5 within this month. Then she could learn 'Blade' and 'Javelin', and she could practice quick-fire to defeat KingSnakes.
We alternated between LizardSoldier hunting and BigSheep hunting. We acquired wool and mutton due to the fifth dungeon error, and then it was the last day to dive into the dungeon with Shou and his team.
We were here today to hunt LizardSoldiers.
"Grimm-sensei, please stay with the team after this."
Yui suggested. Shou and Susumu also seemed to agree. However, it felt strange to have me, an E-class adventurer, on a team of F-class adventurers. And I thought the way Shou and the others worked was not my style.
"I'm happy about that offer, but I have other things I want to do."
Shou and the others looked disappointed.
"Is that so. That's a pity. But please continue to talk to me about Life Magic in the future."
"That's OK."
When I said that with a smile, Yui smiled as well. Shou looked at my face and raised his voice.
"Well then, let's go on the last expedition with Grimm."
We headed to the cave on the 5th floor. We arrived at the cave and went inside. I lend my Night Vision Goggles to Susumu. Then relying on the light from the ball of light, we advanced further.
After defeating the two LizardSoldiers, we proceeded to the right at the fork. We also defeated two LizardSoldiers and reached a large room.
Susumu quietly peered inside from the entrance of the room. I could see that Susumu changed to a tense look. Susumu returned and reported that there were six LizardSoldiers in the room.
"What should we do?"
Shou asked me. After I glanced at Yui,
"Leave it to me. At the end, I'll show you how to fight as a Life Wizard."
Shou looked a little surprised. I handed over the Night Vision Goggles I lent to Susumu, to Yui, and told her to keep a close eye on me. Along with that, I instructed her to float a light ball of 'Light' near the ceiling of the room the moment I jumped in.
"Will you be okay?"
"I'm still an E-class adventurer. I'll show you what I can do."
I activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield' and gripped the Tatakanata in my right hand. After taking a deep breath, I jumped into the room. Yui's 'Light' brightened the room.
I activated the rapid fire QuadArrow twice. Which defeated two LizardSoldiers. A LizardSoldier noticed me and attacked me. I unleashed a QuadPush at it.
When the D-Particle plate repelled it, the LizardSoldier on the right slashed with it's longsword. I jumped back and swung a QuadBlade sideways. The LizardSoldier's head flew off.
Since two LizardSoldiers attacked at the same time, I hit one of them with a QuadPush, blocked the slash of the other one with a D-Particle Shield, and then hit it with a QuadArrow.
The LizardSoldier, that was knocked away by the QuadPush first, got up and attacked. The moment it entered the range of 'Blade', I slashed a QuadBlade from the top to the bottom.
Only one remained. The LizardSoldier looked hesitant, so I quickly approached it and fired a QuadArrow. Thinking that the ball of light might disappear during the battle, I entrusted Yui with the Night Vision Goggles, but the ball of light was still active. The three people would have seen the whole thing.
"Amazing!" "Unbelievable." "..."
When I heard those voices, I felt something move in the corner of the room. This sign meant that the D-Particles had moved.
The three people rushed into the room and praised me. I'm happy, but I have other concerns.
"Keep quiet ... Something moved in the corner over there."
