Episode 94 Master Mitsuhashi's way of fighting
We went to the stairs leading down to the 7th floor. However, Master Mitsuhashi refused to go down.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, I don't have a weapon that can defeat Phantoms."
I nodded, "I see.".
"Then, shall we go to the Skeleton Dungeon?"
"That's the spring of spirits. Do you have a weapon with holy attribute?"
I patted the holy silver dagger on my waist.
"Yeah, this is it."
"Okay, let's go now."
I was thinking of going next time, but Master Mitsuhashi said to go right away. He was a person of action. We hurried back to the ground and headed for the Skeleton Dungeon.
We advanced to the second floor of the Skeleton Dungeon without any problems. We went down to the 3rd floor and encountered a Phantom. I pulled out my holy silver dagger and slashed at the Phantom.
[ Auuu. ]
A strange voice echoed in my head, and the suspicious shadow disappeared.
"Oh, is that a holy silver dagger. You have quite the expensive thing."
"I got it from a boss drop."
"I see, you were going solo. When you're working in a team, you often exchange your dropped items for cash."
Master Mitsuhashi seemed to have formed a team.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"What team were you in?"
"It was a team called 'Wave Warning'."
It was a team with a silly name, but I had heard of it at the Adventurer's Guild. It seemed to be active as a veteran D-class adventurer team.
"Once you learn Life Magic, will you return to the team?"
Master Mitsuhashi's face became displeased. Did they have a fight or break up with the members of the team?
We broke through the 3rd floor and descended to the 4th floor. Master Mitsuhashi played an active role on the 4th floor where Phantoms didn't appear. We went on a rampage against SkeletonSoldiers and OrcSkeletons and went down to the 5th floor.
There was a boss room on the 5th floor. When we went there, the Twin-HeadedSkeleton had respawned.
"This is the first boss battle in a long time."
Master Mitsuhashi was full of motivation. I held up my black staff and stared at the Twin-HeadedSkeleton.
The skeleton with two heads approached with a clattering sound. I activated 'Sensing Zone' and 'Auto Shield'.
Master Mitsuhashi seemed to have noticed that the magic had been activated, and looked at me with a questioning look.
" 'Sensing Zone' detects the movements of monsters and 'Auto Shield' automatically defends me."
"Hmm, there is such Life Magic."
When Master Mitsuhashi said that, the Twin-HeadedSkeleton slashed with its long swords. It slashed at Master's head.
Master parried the slashing attack with a metal gauntlet and repelled it with a palm push. I threw a SeventhJavelin at the left skull. The attack shattered the skull.
There was another skull remaining, so I didn't kill it. The Twin-HeadedSkeleton pointed its short sword at me. I felt the attack from the movement of the D-Particles and jumped back.
Master Mitsuhashi seemed to find an opening in the Twin-HeadedSkeleton attacking me, jumped into its bosom and used his hand sword as a trigger to drive a QuadBlade into the Twin-HeadedSkeleton's neck.
The bone bastard caught the slash with its long sword. Master grinned and threw a palm push at the Twin-HeadedSkeleton's chest, knocking it away.
Leaping after it, Master stomped on the Twin-HeadedSkeleton's right knee with his left foot and threw a roundhouse kick into the remaining head.
Seeing that, I thought that Life Magic for Master might be necessary.
It couldn't be killed with a roundhouse kick. Master knew that too. He fired a QuadArrow into the bony hand holding the short sword, knocking the short sword away.
The left side of the Twin-HeadedSkeleton became defenseless. As a feint, Master threw a QuadArrow at the skull, then took a step forward and unleashed an upper roundhouse kick, which triggered a QuadBlade to slash into the skull.
The Twin-HeadedSkeleton noticed the QuadArrow and dodged it, but didn't notice the QuadBlade. The QuadBlade hit the skull and shattered it.
"Amazing."
I praised him. It was a very clean victory. I rely on the power of Life Magic to fight, but Master takes the lead in fights, chasing down monsters as he pleases.
Master lowered his head towards me.
"What's wrong?"
"I was able to kill such a powerful monster thanks to the Life Magic that Grimm taught me. Thank you."
"I'm also being taught karate, so we're equal."
"No, I feel like I'm getting too much. Should I teach you more strictly."
"No, please refrain from doing that. If you make it any tougher, I will die."
We confirmed what the Twin-HeadedSkeleton had left behind.
A yellow magic stone
"Master, please use that gauntlet."
"Are you sure? It's quite valuable."
I thrust out my magic staff, which was a Magic Equipment, and showed it.
"Does it look like I'm in need of money? In exchange, I'll take the Orc gold coins and magic stone."
Even so, it was a good deal for Master, but I didn't mind. I was grateful to my teacher.
"Now, let's go to the Spirit Fountain."
We went to the Spirit Fountain and submerged the wakizashi prepared by Master. After thinking for a while, the holy silver gauntlet was also submerged in the spring. When I saw that, I put the Black Staff in as well.
I didn't know if the Black Spirit Staff made of D-Particles would gain the holy attribute, but I thought I'd give it a try.
As a result, the Black Staff was endowed with the holy attribute.
