Chapter 308: Bael ́s monsters
At first we were all working together, but the monsters that came out were Frogs, so we decided to split up. I would go ahead and gather information on the monsters so I could help Chiffon and the others.
So the members decided to go on a hostile inspection and treasure hunt with me are Lily, Ion, Bran, Byakuya and Liqueur. We searched the forest without hesitation and found the monsters.
Frog Devil Lv8
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
Frog with bat wings. Lily killed it instantly.
Blue Cat Devil Lv8
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
A Russian Blue had bat wings. This was killed by Byakuya.
Water Spider Devil Lv8
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
A monster with bat wings on a water spider. Lily and the others caught it in a spider web and beat it up when I freed it.
So far, they're all small fry, but there's no way they'll end up like this.
Water Reaper Devil Lv20
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
This monster is a giant frog the size of a human being with a sickle for a hand. Lily and the others confidently confront it.
Every time the Water Reaper Devil swung its scythe, it sent water blades flying.
But Ion also has that one. Lily slashes at it while Ion is responding with throwing maneuver.
"Heavy Slash!"
But the Water Reaper Devil noticed Lily's attack and caught her with his tongue, knocking her to the ground.
"It...hurts..."
"What are you doing!? Lily!"
Ion, who looked aside, didn't notice the Water Reaper Devil sucking in his breath. It would be bad if I didn't follow up here.
"Earth Wall!"
Guard against the poison breath released on Ion.
"Ah..."
Ion makes a face that says, oh shit. Bran takes advantage of this opportunity to attack, but her spear is hit by a scythe and she is attacked by another scythe, but she avoids the attack by flapping her wings.
However, the Water Reaper Devil's mysterious spitting attack follows and hits her directly. The spit tangles with Bran and she falls to the ground.
"Ku..."
This guy is strong. I'm in a pinch, so I'm joining. The cooperation with Liqueur is activated and we rush in together.
But just when I think the attack hits, the attack slips. I stop Liqueur and adjust my stance. We throw a rock at it with the spirit power of Byakuya, but the rock slips and no damage is caused.
Come to think of it, Kaito said that physical attacks on the black-spotted pond frog become ineffective when it's raining. I wonder if it's the same with this guy...
"Takuto, Liqueur! Are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm fine"
Ion, who rescued Bran, asks.
"What do we do now? Takuto-san"
If physical attacks don't work, we know what to do.
"I'll use magic to decide. You guys buy me some time"
So I put away my spear, switched to my staff and shot blitzes all over the place to win. It was a nasty enemy.
Once I was ready to go home, a cute little thing appeared.
Axolotl Devil Lv25
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
It's a giant axolotl. It has bat wings on its body, but its eyes are very cute. It fooled me. Lily was the only one who could detect it.
"Takuto! Water's coming!"
Water? At any rate, I prepared the earth wall.
Then the Axolotl Devil gets down on the ground and suddenly water starts overflowing and waves hit us. This is an Ion technique! Change the location of the earth wall. Just in time!
"Earth Wall!"
Raise the ground under my feet and avoid the wave. That was close...saved by Lily's danger premonition. But it's not an Ion technique, it's more like wave raising that Surfi has. The range was too narrow.
"Upaa!"
The Axolotl Devil rushes into the earth wall and the foothold is broken. For all its pretty face and squeaky voice, it's relentless.
"Teleport!"
Take shelter in a tree. But Liqueur looks painful. I thank Liqueur and replace him with Hix.
"Upaa!"
He rushes into the tree again. I get on Hix and run to the sky.
But the Axolotl Devil is quick to fire a lightning spell at me.
Hix uses his afterimage to desperately avoid it, but it finally hits him and we fall toward the tree. However, Byakuya mitigates the damage with his spirit power.
However, it rushes forward again. But the Axolotl Devil is sliced open at high speed from underwater. Ion.
"How dare you attack Takuto-san...are you ready for this? I will make you regret ever challenging me to an underwater battle!"
Ion distracts it with ice blades and throwing maneuver and Lily, Bran and Byakuya attack, but this axolotl. This giant axolotl is quite hard-hitting.
It was diving head-on into Lily's light wave motion, taking damage and lunging at Lily. Lily takes refuge in the sky in surprise. I don't think I've ever had anyone do this to me before.
Bran's halo also does some damage, but not that much.
There is no doubt that this is a strong enemy, considering its level, but still, this is unusual. The only thing I can think of is the weather. But it's not like the Water Reaper Devil, which nullifies physical attacks. Then I'll use this one to decide.
I change to a spear and go up into the sky with Hix again. Then, I activate cooperation.
The combination of Hixs whirlwind on my spear pierces through the Axolotl Devil. But the living Axolotl Devil sucks in its breath and uses its water breath.
In response, Hix also releases a lightning breath and they collide, but the lightning breath swallows the water breath and strikes the Axolotl Devil. The Axolotl Devil falls and the infos come.
Bran's spear skill level has reached 20. She has acquired the spear technique Penetrator
Did we manage to win?
"Takuto-san, are you all right?"
"I can't say I'm okay. Let's go back to the village"
But Return is not triggered. I looked at the status and saw that I was cursed. It was the work of the Axolotl Devil...a really nasty one.
In the end, I decided to ride back on Hix. Then suddenly a huge magic circle was drawn on the ground in front of us. Oh no!
"Seaspoud!"
A tornado of water formed and blocked our path. Hix stops effortlessly and I identify the enemy below.
Baba Yaga?
? ? ?
She's a skinny old lady with a hunched back and a robe. In her hands she holds a broom and pestle and for some reason she is riding on a mortar. It's a funny figure, but the fact that I can't see anything by identification means that she's a more powerful foe than the Axolotl Devil. The magic I just saw was a single magic spell used by the dragonized Ion. It is clearly a monster of the monster class.
"Leave it to me!"
Ion slashes through the Baba Yaga. But Baba Yaga turns to water and Baba Yaga appears again.
"Oh dear. You're young, but you're not so bad"
"What!? Is that me!"
"Who else would it be? Ah~...I guess I should say the little boy above"
"I will not tolerate insults to Takuto-san!"
Ion slashes at Baba Yaga, but she turns to water again...strange. This monster called Baba Yaga...hasn't attacked since a while ago.
"Ion-chan!"
"I'll cover you!"
