Chapter 293: Prison guard ox

Chapter 293: Prison guard ox

I changed the labyrinth capture group and proceeded down the corridor. Then, there were more parting paths than in the first labyrinth. It took us a while because we didn't know the full extent of the labyrinth, but I continued on, touching the walls of the labyrinth with my left hand.

Then I arrived at the second room. I asked about the enemy, and Ix and Setia answered me.

"It's a monster with the face of a cow and the body of a man"

"Its weapon is a rod-shaped weapon with thorns at the tip"

There is a famous being in Japan who is half cow, half man, and has a weapon like a mace. It is known as a prisoner who tortures and torments those who are believed to be in hell. It is a bull-headed human demon. Its name is Gozu.

It is a hell demon known as a set with the same low-ranking prison guard Horsehead also known as Mezu.

If this prediction is correct, the enemy is likely to be of the fire attribute. Assuming this, I chose the formation. I chose Lian, Konoha, Chess, Byakuya, Yuuga and Iyuki as the members. Since Surfi could not be used here, I chose Byakuya, whose name has white in it.

I was wondering if I should use Ion, so I summoned Lian and asked her.

"Everyone is here. It's okay. I'm also Takuto-senpai's summoned beast, so please leave it to me"

When someone says something like that, I have no choice but to leave it to them. I entered the room with the members. There was an enemy there just as I had been told. However, it is a brave man with only a mace and a loincloth as equipment. When I identified it, I found that my prediction was slightly off.

Gozuki?

? ? ?

I'm not disappointed that my prediction was wrong. I was almost right. While I was thinking about this, Gozuki attacked Lian and the others. This guy doesn't need to ask any questions.

"Moooooo!"

"Gaaaa"

Gozuki's mace was met with ice armor and defense by Chess. Then the ice armor of Chess is shattered and Chess is blown away.

"Eh......?"

Gozuki holds up his mace to Lian, who is naturally stunned. Then the mace is set on fire and the light of martial arts is emitted. This is not good!

"Lian! Run!"

"Ah!"

Lian realized she was in trouble, but she was completely immobilized.

''Yuuga-san!"

"Gau!"

Iyuki and Yuuga activated their ice armor in an attempt to defend themselves.

"N, No!"

It was an attack that could have blown them away like Chess. Lian also notices that Iyuki and Yuuga can't withstand it and raises a voice, but that alone cannot stop the attack of the Gozuki. Gozukis mace is swung down on the three.

"Hoo!"

Konoha kicked the mace with his ice claw, changing its course. But the pinch continues. The mace hit the ground, and the debris hit Lian and the others. Is that the same technique as Lily's Grand Slash?

"Gaaaa!"

Byakuya uses his spirit power to stop the debris from attacking her and returns it to the Gozuki. Eating debris, Gozuki is frightened. In the meantime, I join Chess that was blown away.

Chess was badly damaged, but somehow survived. I wish I could help him recover, but unfortunately I can't.

"Chess-san, Lian-oneechan. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm sorry, I was so upset..."

"I'm sure you'll be fine, Lian-oneechan! Ah!? It's coming! Give me instructions!"

"E, Emm...what should I do..."

Lian looked at me. I pointed to the sky. I've been asked to leave this to Lian, but now that she's asked, I can at least give her a hint. I'm sure Lian will be able to understand the reason why I've chosen this formation.

"Eh? Up? The sky? Ah!"

It seems she noticed. Lian instructs Iyuki.

"Iyuki-chan! Please make it snow!"

"Okay!"

Iyuki sings and it starts to snow.

"I'll buy some time for the snow to accumulate! Konoha-san, Byakuya-san and Yuuga-san! Please stall together. Chess-san, please take cover"

At Lian's instruction, everyone starts moving. That's fine. It's a basic tactic to fight where you are strongest first. The question is whether we can buy time. Lian, whose fighting spirit has been revived, will be fine. After all, she has a weapon that is perfect for stalling.

"Lancer! Back Lancer!"

This is a harassment tactic that Keigo used to use. This combo of stabbing and backing away is a great way to buy time. In fact, Gozuki's mace never reached the target and it kept striking out. Even so, Gozuki has a long weapon, so he's in a cold sweat.

Konoha and the others also attacked it and before it knew it, the whole area was covered in snow. Lian and Gozuki were trapped in the snow, but Byakuya rescued Lian with his spirit power.

I guess this is checkmate now. Lian sang in the distance, and the buffs kicked in. And as the song turns into a lonely one, Gozuki stops moving and the damage occurs. It's probably fascination and curse song. This was the signal for Iyuki and the others to strike back.

Iyuki and the others moved freely through the snow, sometimes hiding, sometimes dodging attacks. When they appear, they bite, slash and hide again. Gozuki also used fire breath, covered its body with fire and wielded the mace, but this time breath, feathers and ice flew at it.

Gozuki tries to aim at Lian, but it can't attack because of Chess's provocation. Moreover, when it attacks Chess, Chess dives into the snow and its attacks don't hit. That's terrible.

As a result, Gozuki had to just endure with only its loincloth equipment. It was so beaten up that it was hard to tell who was being tortured more.

"Snowman!"

A huge snowman fell from above Gozuki's head and ended up being crushed. This is what snowman skill was all about. Then comes the info.

Lian's spear skill level has reached 15. She has acquired the spear skill Whirlwind Wheel

Iyuki comes over to us.

"A complete victory! Father! Please praise me!"

"Ah. You did well. Iyuki"

"Ehehe~"

I stroke Iyuki's head, then everyone else's. Finally, I stroked Lian's head.

"E, Emm! I was a failure!"

"Sure, the first one didn't work. But you're being attacked by a monster. We all cower at times. But Lian fought bravely and well after that. I want to give you credit for that"

"Takuto-senpai..."

"Today's experience will surely make you stronger, Lian. Reflect on what you did wrong and take the good things you did right and put them into practice next time"

Lian nodded strongly at my words. I could see the confidence in her eyes.

In this battle, I once again recognized the strength of Konoha, Chess, Yuuga and Iyuki in snow combat. Snow combat, where they repeatedly hide and attack, is quite gruesome. The people of Veinreef are very good at attacking.

While I was praising Lian and analyzing the battle, Chess, Byakuya and Yuuga brought the weapon that Gozuki had used.

Kanab: Rarity 6 Hammer Quality C-

Weight: 80 Endurance Value: 80 Attack Power: 60

Additional Effect: Physical Destruction, Curse Strike

A low-ranking prison guard's weapon. It is strong against solid enemies and specializes in hurting and killing opponents with additional damage when striking them. It is a very heavy weapon and requires a lot of strength to use.

Ah. It's called Kanab. I didn't know about this weapon. The type of weapon is a hammer. I think it would be a mace or a club, but perhaps there is no weapon type and the closest thing is a hammer. It's a hammering weapon, you know.

In my group, only Lily and Rukiya can equip it. It's an oni connection, so I might as well equip it to Rukiya, who doesn't have one. I think it's pretty evil.

A passage has appeared, so let's move on.
