Chapter 235: Undead army attack and Skull Orthros subjugation battle

Chapter 235: Undead army attack and Skull Orthros subjugation battle

After dinner and bath, it's time to fight! I log into the game.

Let's start with cooking. I have a high cooking buff in my title, so I'll cook.

I tried my hand at cooking a classic dish using ground beef. Here it is!

Cream Braised Hamburger Steak: Rarity 6 Cooking Quality C-

Effect: 60% fullness recovery, 2-hour strength increase (large), 2-hour magic power increase (large)

A dish of beef hamburger steak simmered in a cream sauce with many vegetables.

This dish is not yet complete, as I don't have breadcrumbs or red wine to remove the smell. Still, the effect and workmanship is quite good. The result...

Dara~

Lily and her friends are in trouble at the counter. It doesn't matter if you're a fish lover like Ion or a vegetable lover like Setia, they're in the same boat.

And the players are no exception.

What about us?

"Of course not...how many summoned beasts do you think I have?"

And with a big appetite! Well, if I had used the beef I delivered to the Adventurer's Guild, there might have been some left over...

Delicious~~~!!!

How could there be any left over...I thought so when I saw how much Lily and the others ate.

Then I made the vegetable juice I had promised Setia.

Carrot and Tomato Vegetable Drink: Rarity 3 Cooking Quality E-

Effect: Recovers 10% fullness, 1 hour magic power increase (medium)

A vegetable drink made from carrots and tomatoes.

I made it all the way from the juicer in the cafeteria of the battleship. I drank it to taste, but it wasn't much different from reality. I didn't have much time, so I had to cut corners, but even so, Setia was happy to drink it.

As I was giving it to Gray and the others, suddenly Hawkman knights, who were on alert above Freetia, announced an enemy attack. You can't see the zombies yet!?

"Hostile attack! There's a horde of monsters closing in on us from the direction of the Deep Red Wilderness!"

The timing of this is obviously strange...and the name of an entity we'll never forget rises.

"At the head of the horde is the Skull Orthros! It's closing in on Freetia with tremendous speed!"

We've also seen Skull Elephants and other creatures, but the biggest challenge will probably be the Skull Orthros.

"Takuto"

"Gau"

Lily and Gray look at me. Yeah, I know what you mean. Skull Orthros is our prey!

"We'll take down Skull Orthros"

"Takuto-kun, are you sure you can handle this on your own?"

Ruin-san and the others know that we've already lost once.

"We'll be fine. We're fighting outside this time"

I'll be glad to beat it all to a pulp if it comes out of its little cave.

"You guys take out the Skull Elephant first. That's probably the most troublesome of them all"

Mel and Ruin-san agreed with me.

"It's true that if it rush into the wall, the wall may break. I think they're aiming for that"

"I'm sure they will...but for now, we'll take down the Skull Elephant first!"

The players each move on. I'll throw the command to Ruin-san. I'm sure the knights of Freetia will join us, but I found out on the bulletin board that the experience of monsters defeated by NPCs is not reflected on us.

So we'll have to kill them on our own as much as possible. That's why I called Rook and the others.

"What is it? Takuto-san. You're not going to ask us to fight Skull Orthros, are you?"

"Of course not! It's our prey"

"O, Of course!"

"Gaaaa!!"

The Skull Orthros was knocked down by a direct hit of light wave and shock wave. Oh, this guy seems to be able to be dismantled. Let's try to dismantle it.

Dark-based Stone: Rarity 6 Material Item Quality D+

A stone with a dark attribute. It is used as a material for weapons and magic stones.

This is the top of the dark-based stone. I've got a good one. Now, I'll contact Ruin-san.

"This is Takuto. I've defeated Skull Orthros"

I'm not sure if it's a one-sided bullying mistake, but...thanks for your hard work. I'm sorry to bother you so soon, but there are enemies we don't have information on. Can you help us with them?"

"What's their name?"

Skull Rhinoceros and Skull Dear

Dear is a word used for cute things, but in this case I think it means animal.

"Rhino and dear?"

Yes. The Skull Rhinoceros is so hard that magic and arrows have no effect on it and even a heavy warrior couldn't stop it. The Skull Dear don't seem to have any provocation skills, and they're fast

"Okay. I'll head out to finish them off"

I decided to divide my forces.

"Lily, Nowa, Bran, Mir, Kotetsu, Kurogane, Sabik, Loco Moco, Puyosuke, Airy, Luna, Stra and Dian will finish off the Skull Rhinoceros"

"I'm on it, Takuto!"

"...Nn. I'll take care of stopping them"

Then I'll deal with the ghosts that are in the way. Kurogane-san and Puyosuke-san, please escort Loco Moco-san and Luna-san"

Kurogane-san and Puyosuke-san nodded in response to Bran's instructions. And then Mir added.

"I'll also use pitfalls to buy some time. Kotetsu-san, Sabik-san, Airy-san, Stra-san and Dian-san, please help Lily-oneesan witht he Skull Orthros"

"Gau"

Shaa!

"O, Oh?"

As expected, Lily also finds that her position has completely collapsed. However, a command is severe for Lily who fights intuitively.

"Ta, Takuto~!"

"Yes, yes. The opponent is an undead and hard enemy. Lily, you have to lead the others, okay?"

"Y, Yes! I'm on it, Takuto! Let's go, everyone~!"

Lily cheerfully headed towards the Skull Rhinoceros. Ion seemed uneasy at the sight of her.

"Is, Is that okay? Takuto-san"

"She has a good follow-up and it's okay to leave it to Lily for battle. Well kill the fast paced Skull Deer. Ion and Setia for Liqueur. Ix and I will ride Hix. As for Koihi, Gray and Kitsuneko, you will guard Lian"

"Yes! Please sing at ease! Lian-chan"

"Thank you. Koihi-chan. Please take care of me Gray-san and the others"

I think Koihi is a really good girl. Gray and the others dont hate being escorts either. They're all really good.

"The enemy is quick on its feet. Iyuki, Konoha, Chess, Yuuga. The key is your wind and snow, feather throwing, and freezing breath. Stop the Skull Dear from moving"

"I'm on it!"

"Hoo!"

""Gau!""

"Ribina and Gale, you stay with me and Byakuya, you stay with Ion. Let's go!"

Oo!

We headed towards our respective prey.
