28 - The Boss Tour

Galahad and his friends started drinking yesterday, so I served them whiskey and wine on the way. I was also made to drink, but my impression was that it was spicy, bitter, and throat-burning.

Galahad says that if you drink enough, you'll learn to appreciate the taste.

I exchanged Patoka for Eagle, Camilla, and Luba. I'm glad it was fixed, I wonder if anyone sent me a request. Speaking of mail, I sent a mail to Ochazuke and the others that the place where I took <> will remain until 5 days later and that it is expensive. If they are willing to do so and have enough skill points, they will get [Mining] or [Collecting] and go to get it.

In the morning, I go to the east gate before the meeting time.

I've already logged out once, and I'm off tomorrow, so I'll be fine even if it's a long day.

Because of my early arrival, the three of them have not yet arrived. I had breakfast with White in the morning and went for a walk. White has already returned. We stayed at a small inn that Luba had told us about, which is used by local residents. The inn that Galahad and his friends are staying at is still full of adventurers.

We went to the apothecary's guild to replenish our potions and see what other medicines they had on hand.

"Oh, no. There you are."

When the meeting time came, I went to the gate, and this time I found the three of them and Ruba.

Did Luba go out of his way to see them off?

"Sorry, did I keep you waiting?"

"No, you're right on time."

"Take this."

Luba hands me a sword.

"Thank you, but I don't have any money, okay?"

"I haven't used the furnace for a long time, so I used the ore I had left over to test it out. I made it so that the magic effect would not be lost, but it's not for sale, so don't worry about it."

"Thank you."

He took the sword that kept being offered to him and smiled.

"Oh, good luck."

With that, Luba quickly walked towards the alley, apparently for this very reason.

"Wait a minute!

I was surprised to see a slender sword handed to me. It is five times stronger than the sword I have now. It also has and on it.

Luba seems to have turned a corner, but I can't see him anymore.

"Isn't this the strongest weapon of its rank?"

"As expected of a divine artisan!"

"Isn't this the strongest weapon Homura can have at this rank?"

All three of you seem to have high ranking weapons and don't seem too shocked, but not me, okay?

I was so surprised that I was sweating while holding the sword.

Or rather, God's mastery?

"You were ready to hit Homura's sword when you got the <>. What kind of awesome thing is coming?"

"No, I can't equip it, I can't equip it."

"The reason why <> is so valuable is because it can't be harvested, but it can also be used for medicine, but when used in weapon and armor production, it has the effect of removing equipment restrictions, you know?　Instead, only the owner can equip it, so it can't be bought or sold."

Eagle dismisses my denial.

What is that cheat when I myself am not getting stronger at all.

"I know, I tried to get him to lend me a sword that has a track record of defeating Fel Farsi, but he wouldn't let me."

Galahad's laid-back voice.

"It has <> and <> or something like that. ......"

"It's amazing that a weapon of that rank has two effects on it."

"<> I wonder what kind of magic stone it comes from."

When I asked him why the magic stone is mentioned there, he told me that some magic stones have an effect to give special effects to the finished weapons when they are used in the production of weapons and armors. There is a case of failure, in which case the effect may not work, or it may have a negative effect, or the performance of the weapon itself may be reduced.

I think it's time to go.

After walking for a while out of the east gate, Galahad stopped and said, "I'm sorry. We are well off the road.

"It's good, isn't it?"

I looked at the three of them, unsure of what was good for them, and Galahad threw something that looked like a jewel.

It gained mass before falling to the ground, and by the time it reached the ground it had turned into a tiger with bright orange fur. It was probably bigger than a normal tiger.

As I rolled my eyes in surprise, Eagle and Camilla each called out a wolf-like animal.

"Introducing, my cavalry tiles!"

Galahad says, slapping the tiger-like creature on the neck. It is almost as tall as Galahad's face.

"It's Hagar!"

The Eagle Rider is a white wolf-like creature.

"It's an Uruk."

Camilla's is a black wolf, all three are strong, beautiful creatures with lithe limbs.

Good thing I have the sobriety skills. Behind Galahad, I'm being carried on a tile, and we're speeding a little ways off the road.

He's going fast!

The tiles are very supple and almost do not sway up and down, but the road is not level. In fact, it is not a road. We pick a place where there is a foothold in the marsh and move as if we were jumping. It would have been a terrible experience if I had not had an anti-sickness medicine, but now I feel rather refreshed.

After an hour or so, we arrive at the field of Sir, where the boss is.

We decided to go to Secan first since there seemed to be a lot of people there, and we planned to fly to Hoss and beat the boss of Hoss and the boss of Secan after that. ....... I had to accompany everyone except me, even though both Sir and Secan had access to transfers.

I got off the tile and walked to the boss's appearance point. The landscape has changed from marshland to forest. The trees are thicker and straighter than in the forests south and north of Fastbrim. No wonder Sir is a town of woodworkers.

"Where do the cavalrymen get along?"

"Getting along, huh?"

"We caught him in the Land of Isle, which is further east from here."

One on one, to the death?

You have to fight them, show them how strong you are, and make them obey you.

"It was pretty tough. It might be easier if we go now, and maybe we can get a faster cavalryman, but my partner is Hagar."

"Me too, I'd rather have an Uruk."

"Likewise. I don't want to spread it too much because some idiots will fail and kill them.

"I've already had people come to me at the fast, asking me to kill them or something."

I had a suspicion for a moment that the "take it even if you have to kill me" was a joke, but I dismissed it when he said it was a sticking point.

"I'm sure Homura will be fine with it.

Camilla winks at me. All three of them seem to care very much about their cavalry.

"Next to this country. I guess you have to rank C first to move countries."

How old are you?

I'm still in D.

Next time, you'll get a C. It's too soon.

"It gets a lot tougher from C onward...I miss it!"

As we were talking, we came to a lake.

In no time at all, we were on our way to the boss battle. For Galahad and the others, the boss here is probably not much of an enemy, and there is no time to prepare before the battle.

The boss was a gigantic dung beetle.

Is it better that it is not a spider?

"[Full body blow]!　OLLIE!"

Suddenly the boss is floundering under Galahad's blow?

"[Astute]!"

"<>!"

Eagle's one-handed sword skill looks sophisticated, is it just a little gesture of using the same skill that gives a different image, or is the [Astute] skill elegant?

Camilla's magic is flashy. A circle moth, a beetle, is floundering in the flames. It must have been damaged by combustion.

"<>!

I pulled out Luba's sword and swung it horizontally, a test to see if it would work. It doesn't seem to be very strong for a magic that is said to be of higher rank. Even though I'm using Luba's sword.

It's because the three of us are too out of the ordinary!

"Lightning!"

How can you use it?

"Is that something you can learn at that level?

Huh?

I'm surprised.

I got the title [Bug Slayer] for my first solo defeat.

I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat.

I got the title [Solitary Adventurer].

I am pleased to announce that Sir has been killed solo.

With this, I am making a disclosure.

If you defeat a boss solo, you will receive a title and an item for the first time you defeat the boss, and an item for defeating the boss.

Please note that partners other than the player, such as <><>, are not counted in the number of people, so please be proactive in inviting them.

Yes?

The boss was defeated without any trouble at all.

Circle Moth Shell x4

Circle Moth Breastplate

Ruby x 10

Ring of Quickness

Transfer stone <.

These are the usual loot.

Yeah, I'm escaping reality.

Don't the residents hear the world announcement?

What's with the solo defeat, it's a party of four!

And three out of the ordinary people, three!

I mean, we're still going to be taking down bosses now. ！！！！

Is the game balance okay? ！！！！！ No, no, no, no, no!

It didn't feel like much of a boss battle because there were three substandard players who treated the boss like a slightly stronger mook!　Three substandard people!

"What an outlier!"

"Why do you have both [light] and [dark]?"

"What kind of priest has two divine blessings?"

"[Lightning] is almost unheard of nowadays. I only know one other person who can use it.

"What's an assassin, an assassin? I know that patka doesn't have a crime symbol, so it's treated like a dungeon thief."

"Even the food is brewing..."

This is me moving from the boss's pop position and being appraised by three people.

I feel like sitting on my ass. ....... They call me substandard to substandard, but I'm not strong enough to be called substandard!

"Even if they say I'm not up to standard, I have a lot of things, but I'm not strong."

"Of course not, when you're in the 20s. What's going to happen to me when I level up?"

"[Solitary adventurer] Homura, have you ever even soloed before?"

It's a title I just received: ！！！！！！

The effect is that when soloing, H!? The effect is a natural recovery of H! The way the M!

"I'm especially jealous of Verna's blessing. Rare drop rate increase.

"It works for the party, right?　If I want a rare one, I'll come and grab it."

Hmm?

"I thought Verna's Blessing was a correction for good luck and an increase in affinity with the dark attribute. ......"

"That's part of it, though."

"Homura is still at a low appraisal level, so you don't see it, do you?"

"Oh, I see."

"There's no way that the blessings from the gods are just a slight increase in status."

"Even that would be horrific if I had it from this level."

Val's Blessing] increases the skill growth rate and [Verna's Blessing] increases the rare drop rate for the party.

I was about to relax, thinking that I didn't have to cover up the assassin, but is it necessary or even essential to do so?

"Let's just get to C rank as soon as possible, shall we?"

Galahad puts his hand on my shoulder with a very nice smile.

"And give me the hard-to-get items."

"At this level, it's hard to get skilled."

Eagle smiles and puts his hand on the opposite shoulder.

"I'd like to meet the higher spirits of wind and darkness for now. If they are compatible with each other, the chances of meeting the higher spirits will increase.

Camilla crawls her finger under my chin.

How did this happen?

I register for the transfer stone at the Temple of Sir while being teased.

But I got the barrels at the barrel shop between the gate and the temple!

The <> negates instant death damage, and once used it takes a day for the effect to take effect again, but I'm glad it's not a consumable item. We continue on to Hoss for a rest at the tavern, and next is Mr. Dade Lizard.

I will let you know. The Dade Lizard has been defeated solo.

It's playing, world announcement: .......

You have earned the title [Lizard Slayer] for your first solo defeat.

Since the Lizard Slayer has already been acquired, a higher title in the < family will be granted at random.

The title [Dragon Slayer] is granted.

I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat.

Yeah, this one was over in no time.

We were so close when we fought yesterday! I got back the gloves I sold off, and the ring of strength was duplicated. I learn that you can't wear the same ring twice.

I'll pass on the title of dragon slayer, which I've never had. I don't. I don't.

"Oh, you've leveled up, haven't you?"

"Oh, now I can get [mining]."

Spend 2 skill points to get [Mining].

"I'll be safe at night."

They put me on a tile again and moved me to the secant.

It is just before midnight here, just after 10:00 p.m. real time. There were still a lot of people logged in, and there were a few parties at the boss pop-up location. There was no need to wait for them to pop, since the fight would start as soon as they entered the boss field, but they were probably either checking their equipment before the boss fight, or checking the loot after defeating the boss.

"Can you wait a bit until the rest of the party is gone?"

World announcements are the enemy.

We were lucky to be in a place far enough away to let Tile and the others return undetected.

"Hmm? Good, it's just about lunchtime, let's have dinner."
