Episode 98 SteelLizard's item Drops
The SteelLizard becomes furious and tries to pursue Matsumoto and Fujii. I shoot a SeventhThunderArrow at the SteelLizard.
The SeventhThunderArrow is repelled by the scales of the SteelLizard, which boasts amazing defensive power. However, the electric current is poured into the monster's body, causing damage. However, it only stops moving temporarily, and immediately starts moving again.
Alisa and Amane throw SeventhThunderBowls. It seems that they gave up on penetrating it from the beginning and intend to damage it with the attack of only the electric current.
Then, aiming for the moment when the SteelLizard stops moving, Chika fires a SeventhHighBlade. The tip of the SeventhHighBlade is swung down onto the SteelLizard while creating a shockwave that exceeds the speed of sound.
The SeventhHighBlade hits the monster with silver scales and bites into it about 40 centimeters. And then, the shockwave hurts the SteelLizard.
A normal monster would die if the V-shaped plate were to bite into it 40 centimeters. But, the SteelLizard is shockingly tough and large. That said, bodily fluids are flowing out and its movements have become awkward.
Seeing this, Tesshin is genuinely surprised.
"Seriously. Awesome."
Branch Chief Kondou is also surprised with his eyes wide open.
I decide to finish it off.
"Leave the finishing blow to me. I have a new Life Magic I want to try."
I instruct them to attack with SeventhThunderBowl and 'Lightning Bomb'.(TN:L Bomb is Attack Magic)
Three SeventhThunderBowls and 'Lightning Bomb' attack the SteelLizard and electrocute it. I activate SeventhHeatShell when the monster stops moving.
The bowl-shaped D-Particles are filled with metal and transform into a cannonball. I aim at the area where the heart of the SteelLizard is located, and fire. At that moment, the D-Particle Shell flies at such a speed that it seems to disappear.
The moment the D-Particle Shell hits the side of the SteelLizard, an extremely high heat is generated, melting the copper and turning it into a liquid. Compressed air also becomes plasma with ultra-high heat and expands explosively.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
The rapidly thermally expanding plasma becomes a detonation wave, ejecting the liquefied copper forwards as a metal jet.
A loud explosion sounds and the blast rushes in. Alisa and the others, who didn't know what would happen, fall onto their bottoms. The same goes for the Branch Chief and the others, I regretted not warning them.
When the blast subsides, the metal jet penetrated through the SteelLizard's body and sunk into the rocks behind it. The fallen SteelLizard disappears.
Alisa and the others, who are sitting flat on the ground, all turn their gazes towards me.
"... Grimm-sensei, what was that just now?"
Yukari, with her eyes wide open, asks me a question.
"It's a new Life Magic called 'Heat Shell'."
"... Amazing, amazing. It's absurdly amazing."
Amane looks at me with a touched expression on her face. At that time, I remember the wounded Attack Wizards and rush over to Matsumoto and Fujii.
"Are you okay?"
It seems that the two were given elementary healing magic potions. The internal wounds seem to have healed somewhat. However, broken bones can not be cured with elementary healing magic potions.
"Expensive armor seems to have saved their lives."
The Branch Chief says in relief. Then, I turn my gaze to the area where the SteelLizard had fallen.
"Grimm-tachi, please look for anything left behind by the Vagabond."
"Does a Vagabond leave something like a boss drop?"
"Sometimes something is left behind. Well, when you defeat a special monster, it leaves some kind of item behind."
The SteelLizard was so strong that it wouldn't be strange to leave something behind. We look around to see if there is anything remaining. When I did, my eye caught something immediately. The skin of the shining silver SteelLizard has fallen. It is the skin of a monster with a total length of 6 meters.
Next, I found a magic stone. Black magic stone
Alisa confirms it with 'Item Analyze'.
"No way, this is an advanced healing magic potion."
Advanced healing magic potions are magic potions that are rarely available. I have heard that they have fetched tens of millions of Yen at auction.
It's not as effective as a panacea medicine, but it seems to be able to treat any serious injury. I've also heard that it can regenerate lost fingers and such. However, it doesn't cure diseases.
I roll up the skin and go to the Branch Chief.
"Branch Chief, these three items were dropped."
Branch Chief Kondou nods as he looks at the skin, magic stone, and magic potion.
"That magic potion, what is it?"
Alisa answers the Branch Chief's question.
"It's an advanced healing magic potion."
The Branch Chief nods with a slightly surprised expression.
"Hou, so you can use 'Item Analyze'. That's excellent."
It is decided that the injured will be carried back by the Muscle Wizards. After returning to the ground, an ambulance is called and the two are taken to a hospital.
Tesshin who saw them off, comes to me.
"Grimm, what was that last spell you killed it with?"
"It's a Life Magic called 'Heat Shell'."
"So Life Magic has magic on par with 'Death Shot', huh. It's scary."
We return to the Adventurer's Guild and are taken care of in the Branch Chief's room.
"There were injuries, but it was thanks to you guys that we were able to defeat the Vagabond without causing any deaths. I appreciate it. The guild intends to provide a reasonable reward."
I am delighted to hear that the guild will give me a reward. Tesshin notices this,
"Grimm, the bounty from the guild is not a big deal. More importantly, about the drop items. Since there are three of them, Grimm, who killed it, has the right to receive one."
If there are three or more items dropped, including the magic stone, the person who kills it can choose one and keep it as their own. I found out such a thing for the first time.
Branch Chief Kondou tells me to choose without hesitation, so I choose the SteelLizard skin. This skin is surprisingly tough, but not as heavy as steel. I am thinking of making shin guards for myself and armor for Alisa and the others.
At this point, Alisa-tachi's armor is too weak to advance further into the Suigetsu Dungeon. I thought about reinforcing them with armor using the SteelLizard skin.
