Chapter 15-Something strange in the small square and big eyes

(TL:By Rafael)

After climbing the stairs and checking the small square from the entrance of the underground canal, I saw a strange object.

"What the hell is this ......?"(Yuki)

"I didn't see anything like this the last time I was here."(Nene)

There were four pillar-like objects about six feet tall standing in the small square.

They were dark brown in color with protrusions in various places.

My impression was that they looked like insect pupa chrysalises.

"What do you think?"(Yuki)

I asked the two who were observing alongside me.

Rain is using her magic sense magic and Silk is using her spirit wizard senses to see it.

"I can feel the magic, but it's weird. It looks a lot like that chain monster, doesn't it?"(Rain)

"Yeah. I agree with you. There is a hint of spirit, but it is quite different and not the spirit of the natural world that I know ......."(Silk)

There is no movement.

No, but I noticed something I didn't like as I observed it.

If you look closely, you can see that the part that forms the surface has parts that look like human arms and ears.

I wondered if it was wearing a melted person, or if the person had mutated into something like this.

"So, what to do?"(Yuki)

"Is it a demon monster?"(Sopo)

It has got a lot of personality for a resident.

As a supporter who is responsible for the safety of the party, I have memorized all of the monsters that have been reported to the Adventurer's Guild.

But this one I don't recognize.

The fact that I don't even know if it's dangerous or not is already dangerous.

While granting reinforcement magic to all of them, I carefully observed the chrysalis that was not moving at all.

Assuming that it is a demon monster and a belligerent predator, what kind of attack can we expect?

Since it is a chrysalis, will it hatch?

Will something demonic pop out from inside?

(TL:Imagine a guy popping out saying 'surprise motherfather.'

Even in the natural world, there are creatures that do not move for predation.

Maybe it will fire some kind of poisonous liquid or gas.

"I'm getting through. It may be non-hostile and non-active, I may be able to slip through."(Nene)

There is a good distance from the nearest pupa.

if we can avoid a fight, there's nothing better than that.

if we want to fight, it is not a good idea to stay in this small position.

"Oh,  be careful."(Yuki)

"Yes."(Nene)

The moment Nene leaned forward from the entrance of the underground channel, a slit appeared in the chrysalis and ...... four eyes were opened.

A huge eye, about half the length of a chrysalis, catches Nene's gaze.

"Ah, ......!"(Nene)

The most agile of us all, Nene's movements stopped as if she had gone rigid.

She's totally stick-in-the-mud.

"Oh, no!"(Yuki)

I jump out, hold Nene, and jump backwards.

"Ow!"(Nene)

At that moment, the huge mouth of the chrysalis stretched out and grazed the tip of Nene's nose, making a cracking sound.

I fell on my butt with Nene in my arms.

It was an awkward sight, but it was all right as long as Nene was safe.

The chrysalis returned to its original position, and all four closed their eyes again.

"Thank God. ......! I could have died. ......!"(Nene)

In my arms, Nene looks terrified and flops her cat ears down..

"I'm glad you're okay. But what was that? Is it some kind of big earthworm?"(Yuki)

"The moment that eyeball saw me, my body froze."(Nene)

The attacks launched from his flexible body have a surprisingly wide range.

And the mouth that was used for that attack. I think it had human teeth.

The pupae's human-like composition and that mouth just give me a bad feeling.

"I'm sorry, Nene. I put you in a dangerous situation."(Yuki)

"I'm fine."(Nene)

I got up and looked at the chrysalis again.

It hadn't moved from the spot where I'd first seen it, and it remained quiet, showing no signs of attacking.

But I can't even get out of here at this point.

"Let's hit it remotely."(Yuki)

"Yeah. It's been a while since I've used one of these!"(Marina)

[Stinger Joe, the assassin who pierces through,] Marina takes it out and carries it lightly.

(TL:One word for the name,cool.)

"I can shoot up to two arrows at the same time. What should I do with the attribute arrows?"(Silk)

"Use them. Yes, the flame arrow, please."(Yuki)

"Yes Sensei"(Silk)

Silk pulls out two arrows with red tips from her quiver.

"What about me?"(Rain)

"Ice magic, please. It looks like an insect chrysalis, and it might be vulnerable to thermal changes."(Yuki)

"Hmm. Okay."(Rain)

While instructing the two of them, I also begin to prepare my magic.

The trouble is that look. It's not a poisonous gaze like the basilisk, however.

Nene was able to move quickly, It was probably something magical using her gaze as a catalyst.

So, if that's the case.

If I can block his vision with Blinding Blindness or Flash , there is a good chance that I can prevent him from looking at us It's a two-step approach this time.

"I'm going to go first and use the debuff magic. I'm sorry, Nene, but I'm leaving my safety in your hands."(Yuki)

"Yes."(Nene)

"Use that as your cue to launch the attack."(Yuki)

The three well-prepared girls nodded back as I turned to them.

"Okay!"(Rain)

"Roger"(Marina)

"I'm on it."(Silk)

"Okay, I'm out."(Yuki)

I jumped out of the shadows of the underground canal and unleashed Blinding Blindness and Flash of Light.

You can see the chrysalis' eyelids open, but a red mage with a fast chanting quick cast can't be beaten by a quick shot.

The chrysalis that was hit by the intense flash of light in its large eyes wriggled while screaming strangely.

Immediately after, I was pulled behind.

"Funya"(Nene)

I feel a soft touch on my back.

......, we're in a battle. I'm not going to ruminate on the perks.

(TL:I am rooting for the monster)

"I'm going."(Marina)

Marina's arrow pierces the chrysalis with ease.

Even the breast armor of the iron armor was easily penetrated, so the chrysalis must have been in for a rough time.

The other two individuals were already engulfed in flames.

The [Flaming Arrow], with its arrowhead made from a magical stone that contains the magic power of fire, has the property of igniting the point of impact.

From the looks of it, the flame seems to be highly effective.

"Go..yo"(Monster I am rooting for)

The carefully woven magic formula is sucked into the sky with a faint light.

Immediately after, a super cold downburst with ice and snow blew in as a strong wind, enveloping the entire small square.

"[Ice Blizzard Blizzard] ......! Fifth rung magic!"(Rain)

A voice leaked out unexpectedly.

This is an advanced magic formula that can never be activated by a red mage, even if they have the same magic profession.

It's a sight that makes me more than a little jealous of Rain's talent for magic.

"Missed the kill."(Rain)

(TL: Safe)

I thought everything was frozen, but one of Icicle gave a small shiver and pulled the ice off.

"I'll kill you!"(Monster)

After abandoning [Stinger Joe, the assassin who pierces through,]  Marina runs at high speed.

The pupae's eyes glazed over, and the shuriken sliced into the center of them.

The next moment, the last chrysalis was ripped to pieces by Marina's black sword.

TL Note- A good action filled Chapter.......Nyc, the monster died....who knows.
