22 - The Battle of the Boss

"What is that black thing?"

I followed Singh's gaze and saw a black circle on the ground.

"Is there some kind of small child?"

I want a long view. I want this and that!

"Peter's up."

Why?

"You know what you're doing."

Ochazuke is still pulling stories too.

"Let's see!"

Before I could observe, Leo suddenly started running.

"Help!"

A boy, his feet caught in the black mud, cries and reaches out to us.

.

The disappearance of the sounds you used to hear, which indicate that you have moved from a normal field to an isolated event field, makes you feel a sense of discomfort. The sound of leaves rustling has suddenly stopped.

"Oh, I have a bad feeling about this."

"A field boss?　Is it an area boss to liberate the city?"

I haven't been able to enter the town or encounter any events yet.

Is it a boss out of the blue?

I've been ignoring the city streets.

I guess I got there before they told me where the boss was.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha."

What appeared to be black was mud, and out of the mud emerged a huge lizard the size of a 10-ton truck. The ground he is stepping on has turned into a muddy quagmire, as if it had melted.

Perhaps because it burrows into the soil, its blackish figure, covered with scales, looks more smooth than one would expect.

"Peter, infant, please!

Is it me?

"Let's go!"

"Oh!"

Kikuhime strikes, and Peter falls backward with the boy in his arms. Leo attacks, Shin enchants, I shadow Leo, and we begin the procedure as before, and the Dade Lizard attacks Shin and Leo.

?

"Ow!"

"[Only One Enemy], isn't it!"

Leo's shadow is unraveling under attack.

"I think you can see the shadow!"

I wonder if it's more of an attack on the person being assisted.

"We'll stop the assistance and see what happens."

Ochazuke gives instructions while Leo recovers.

"I left the kid behind a tree for now."

We are in the boss's field, so we are not likely to be attacked by other demons.

Now that we don't have to cast <>, let's try out the power of rotation.

<>!

"[Tiger] <!"

[hide in shadow]!

[hide in shadow]!

"Shin, [recover]."

Ochazuke's use of the subject's name in words is a habit from other online games to prevent the recovery from being overshadowed.

Daydrizzled moves with its tail wagging at regular intervals, while keeping the mire intact, and engulfs everyone except Kikuhime and Ochazuke, who are in front of it, in its tail. There is a pause until a new quagmire is formed under the Dade Lizard's feet and the old quagmire disappears. Stepping on the muck causes a continuous damage anomaly, but it is difficult for the three close attackers to avoid stepping on the muck because of its combination with the moving muck. And Daydrizzard always attacks with its tongue after a while after moving, and the target is always random.

The sight of its pink tongue stretching out is comical but painful.

"<>!　Ochazuke, do you want to take turns summoning spirits after the move?"

At the scene of the fourth move, the recovery to Kikuhime and the damage received by her tail and the accumulation of continuous damage were running out of time.

The [Circulating Power] was challenging the type of wind between the two, but it could not be helped even if it was invalid. I wonder if I can summon the spirits in the same order as .

I'm on it!

"Spirit of water!　Come and heal!"

My contracted water spirit, Rufa, springs from the palm of my hand and flies overhead to circle the party members, sprinkling drops of water over their heads, and they all h! It is a little less than the amount of healing from oatmeal, but it's still a good thing. But it is enough to last even if someone gets hit by the long tongue.

Since we can summon the spirits again in five minutes, and we only need them at the right moment to move the daylizard, we should be able to call them before the other four use up their summonses. If he is a spirit user, the time for this re-summoning is said to be a little shorter.

"I'll be next."

"[Cross slash], right?　Then I'll go for number three!"

"[獬]<!　Number four!"

Last one!

I wonder if "kai" means "kai-chi" in Japanese. Shin's attacks are tiger, phoenix, turtle, and kite, and the amount of damage keeps increasing. It is said that the order of the attacks increases speed, damage, and abnormalities. The only problem is that the necessary E! It is said that it is very difficult to recover the necessary E!

I wonder why some of the [Circumferential Power] techniques have wind in between. Is it based on the five elements of and the image of the wind turning? Or the atmosphere? Even with the five elements, the seasons do not match this world. But I think the weak points are also conflicting.

The reason why I know so much about this is because I used to play Yin-Yang in a game.

As I think about it, I connect wood, wind, fire, wind, earth, wind, gold, wind, water, and wind.

<>!

"Uh-oh!"

More!

It's huge!

Watch out!

"Skewered!"

"What did you do?"

A spell-like band of light appeared around me, and where normally only one wooden spear of about 150 centimeters appeared, six of them, each over three meters long, appeared and skewered the Dade Lizard.

I thought that the summoning of spirits might have nullified the spell, but fortunately I timed it with the use of water, and it seemed to have worked. I guess I can rotate the attributes. I guess a fencer can use this, though I don't plan to be one.

The daylizard flinched and writhed from the amount of damage inflicted.

It is a wooden spear, but it looks like a big stake. The figure of the Dade Lizard, pierced by six stakes and sewn to the ground, is quite gruesome.

The reason why the wood magic was chosen as the starting point is because it is a superior attribute that deals 1.2 times the amount of damage to the earth attribute. I don't know what I would have done if it had been fire or something like that.

The wind magic is in between, so you have to hit them eleven times in the right order. It's totally for a party and for a boss.

But it is a level 3 wood magic, yet it is this powerful. As long as there is no wind resistance or something, it is a nice and effective technique, though it takes a lot of time and effort.

Incidentally, since it is learned in the order of "Mokkado Gonsui" and Yin-Yang, it is a simple type that doesn't have wind in between?　The "I can't use it now" trap is a trap because I can't remember where the wind comes.

I decided to buy that book for the second time.

I defeated the Dade Lizard safely, forgetting that I am a Mage Swordsman.

I'll let you know. Foss's Dade Lizard has been defeated by Leo and five others.

"Oh?

Leo!

"You did it, didn't you?"

"Was this your first time?"

"Really?"

"Hyah-hoo-hoo!"

The world announcement was played, and the audience cheered.

Since the names are kept private except for Leo's, the announcement sounds like Leo and his group.

We got the bracelet for the first defeat of the boss, <.

I got the title [Lizard Slayer].

I got the skin of the daylizard x4.

I got the Dagger of the Dade Lizard.

I got the magic stone of the daylizard.

I got 10 pieces of steel.

I got the ring of strength.

I got the transfer stone <.

"Big brother, big sister!"

I forgot.

I forgot about the boy!

I had forgotten too, but don't say it out loud in front of him, Leo.

"I have a home in Hoss."

I wrapped the boy in my robe and gave him warm milk to calm him down after he thanked me and cried that he was scared. When he calmed down, I asked him where he lived, and he gave me the name of a city that was neither Fast nor the liberated second sur. It seems that the liberation event of the city is confirmed.

It was almost dark. We all shadowed and Peter took a boy named Doyle with him and we moved to Foss. When we arrived at the town, the gate was tightly closed, but when we knocked hard, a young guard appeared through the peephole and opened the gate after we told him what had happened.

The guard who showed us the way told us to wait, and we meekly waited as if it were a matter of human affairs, thinking how hard it must be for us even though the sun was already setting.

"Mineral favorites are +1 to the number of minerals mined..."

"I'd like to trade it for collecting it."

"Great."

"I think I'll get it."

"Non-transferable, huh?"

"Why the pun?"

"If it weren't for the genie, we'd have lost."

"I guess..."

"I'm so tired."

"Oh, I'll repair your equipment."

Ochazuke and Kikuhime fixed it.

I must learn to dispense medicines and be able to use them.

Leo seemed to hit it off with Doyle while they were playing, and he took to Leo instead of Peter, who was holding him. By the time we arrived at the town, he was laughing and showing a mischievous expression that went beyond the cheerful one that was typical of his temperament.

"Oh!　Doyle."

A stern, mature-looking man who appeared to be his boss entered the packing room with the young guard from earlier. Unlike the young guards, he was dressed in plain clothes, as if he was no longer on duty.

"Thank you, adventurers! Since Doyle's disappearance, there have been rumors that the demons in the western plains may have migrated there. Doyle, why did you go into the woods?　You were not allowed to go into the woods alone."

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what it was like. ......"

I'm calling our people right now. We've caused you a lot of trouble, so be prepared to be scolded, okay?"

That's what the city walls were originally built for. When the number of demons increases, the gates are closed to prevent them from entering until the defeat is complete.

The people who live within the walls have a sense of "our city" and solidarity, and as the old man at the used bookstore showed us, they tend to keep their distance from strangers.

"Well, whatever it was, it was good. We were just looking for Doyle for the bounty, you guys can take it. We have also received a report that there is no sign of any movement of demons. Let's open the gates now."

The city of Hoth has been liberated.

Second world announcement of the day.

"Well, let's go register our transfer to the temple..."

"Oh~~"

The reward was a whopping 40,000 shill. I had wondered how the strategy group that was rushing ahead was doing with their equipment, but if they were getting this much money, they would spend less time hunting demons in the field, and less time steadily saving up money by collecting and mining.

I am sure that in the future, when trading and production among players become more active, we will be able to profit by moving on and getting new materials as quickly as possible.

Excuse me, where is the temple?

It was good to be upbeat, but we didn't have a map. When Ochazuke asked the young guard, Barth, where the temple was located, he drew a simple map. The map that he registered was quite surreal.

The city of Fos looks like the same size as Fast, but the inside of Fos is quite different. Fast was a city of adventurers, while Fos is a city of inhabitants.

Stores selling wheat and daily necessities are larger, and there are far more stores selling farming tools than stores and workshops selling weapons and armor. The special product of the town is ceramics. There are also many lumberjacks to maintain the kilns, but not as many as in the town of Saa, where furniture and fittings are the main products.

Barth told me that Sekan is a fishing and farming town.

We did not see it because we came through the forest, but we were told that there are villages along the roads and that life in this country is easier than in other countries because there are fewer demons.

However, there are still demons. In this town, too, there is a plaza just after the gate, but it is said to be used to temporarily house those who have abandoned their villages and fled in the event of a mass outbreak of demons. I thought it was a storage space for adventurers.

When I left the barracks after hearing such a story, I saw some players. About fifteen of them.

"Excuse me, are you the party that defeated the boss?

"Oh!　I beat him!"

"Hey, you guys are so low! You beat us like that while we were looking for you!

The man's words and facial expression have a spine, but the woman's do not.

I'll leave it to Ochazuke and Leo and let them go through with it.

"Especially the magic swordsman!　You're too low!"

But then I got tangled up with a name-dropper. Yeah, I was at work yesterday and I'm only 3 levels lower. I think that if I wasn't a Mage, my physical defense would have been too low to be good even if I had a spirit.

"I am helped by my shield and my good recovery.

I answer smilingly. I have a habit of getting into bad moods and becoming more and more polite when I can't vent on the spot.

"I was just competing with Roy, and you just side-stepped me!"

The woman who got involved with me had black hair, although it was tight, and she was as small as Princess Kikuhime, even though she was a beautiful woman with her hair in all the right places and her body in all the wrong places. She was hissing and turned her distorted mouth into a face and tried to jam me.

The level of the demons is not yet visible, but as soon as the animal demon identification is set to 2, the levels of the players in the town become visible. If they had seen it, they would have been at level 29. I don't know if the difference of 4 levels from Ochazuke and his friends is big or small, but considering that we are in the early stage of the game, it is probably big.

"Stop black lily!

"Hmph!　You're ruining the game!　You didn't even get a down anyway!"

He made some unintelligible statements, such as "I'm not a member of your party," and went back to his own party members, rather than .......

Maybe it's good for some people, but I'm afraid of the balance between her height and her big breasts. If you only look at her face or her breasts, it doesn't bother you, but if you look at the whole picture, you can't help it. It's a trap that makes you want to turn away.

I'm sorry. My party and I were fighting over the first boss and we couldn't find him for a whole day. Usually I'm more ...... or maybe it's always like that ......."

"Follow me to the end."

I mean, are you friends?

"I got involved outside of here, and he challenged me to a game, and asked me to join him if there was a raid, and I think we exchanged patkas."

A raid is a boss battle that is conquered by multiple parties. There are probably raids, but it has not been confirmed if there are any yet.

I have heard from the staff that when they defeated a field boss in Fast, their names were broadcasted, and after that, Kuroyuri unilaterally declared a rivalry with them and got involved with them. Kuroyuri was the first person to defeat an area boss and a field boss in Sir.

"I'm sorry to hear that, or at least I hope she's a tsundere."

I'm more likely to be a Yandere!

I'll try not to get stabbed.

"Hey, that's not a follow-up!"

And I didn't mean to follow you.

"Well, let's not talk about that, I approached you because I wanted to ask you where your boss was. I'll pay you to tell me.

They looked at each other for a moment, but Ochazuke answered immediately.

"I don't mind the money. It's in the woods straight south of the city center, maybe less than an hour from here.

"The woods? !"

"Hmm?"

"No, the guard who came out of the gate said something about demons to the west, so I've been looking for a meadow to the west.

He laughs, saying, "That's why I can't find it.

"Speaking of which, what's the point of taking a downer?"

Peter, who seems to have been caught by the woman's comment that she hadn't even been downed yet, asks, "What are you doing?

"Oh, I'm not even getting a total H! If you do more than 5% to 10% of the total H!?

"Oh-ho?"

"Percentage is just a feeling, and I've only picked it up from fast and secant area bosses and bosses, so it might drop other things too. I've tried a few times with area bosses in Secan, so I'm pretty sure you get more items when you're down anyway."

He said he straddled the area looking for the Foss boss and hit the area boss in Secant a few times.

The gatekeeper, he is a sinner.

Is that the same thing with the steel?

"Hey, hey, you got it? That's amazing at that level."

We parted, exchanging patkas with Roy, who said, "Let's team up if there's a raid.
