Volume 2 - CH 136

3.51. Water flow Bedlock

The next thing I realized, I was slammed into a pneumatic field that I had created.

I’m not sure what the hell happened.

The moment Bedlock lifted its fins, I was blown away.

It seemed that I had been blown away with tremendous force, and I still could not recover my shaken up senses.

Despite this, I was somehow able to keep my shields intact

I applied 【Great Heal】 to myself to heal the wounds on my body.

I managed to maintain a clear view of the surroundings, so I turned my attention to Bedlock.

And then I saw that Bedlock had lowered its fins while looking at me.

I didn’t think it was possible, but I wondered if the shock of moving its fins …… or the water flow had blown me away.

I thought it would be impossible for such a foolish thing to happen, but when I saw that the water shield in front of me had been destroyed, I knew that I had been blown away by the water flow.

And the spear had also been blown away by the water flow earlier.

They were stuck in the bottom of the river and in rocks.

I was relieved that the spear did not fly into me, and I thought about what I should do now.

I have never seen such skill.

Perhaps it is a skill that can be used only when the size of the user is that big.

The pneumatic shield was intact.

Therefore, the school of fish will not come in, but the problem is on the other side.

On the other side, there is a water shield.

It could easily be destroyed if the other side is attacked by the fish.

I don’t know how intelligent the fish are to that extent, but …… it would be a good idea to keep their attention on this side as much as possible.

Then, the Bedlock raised its other fin.

Another attack will come.

The 【Water Spear Volley】 are not going to work.

The 【Reamed Water Spear】 cannot be used now because the threads have become tangled.

I would have to erase and redeploy it later.

There is not enough time.

I have to defend with something, but …… all of them use too much MP.

Considering the attack, I want to reduce the consumption as much as possible.

For the time being, I deployed a “water shield” as a temporary precaution.

The water shield was very large.

The shield seemed to have been created using river water as a medium.

As soon as it was deployed, that water flow attack came again.

The five water shields merged into one and stood in front of me.

However, it dissipated without a moment’s thought, and I was struck again by the pneumatic shield that I had created.

“~~~~! That ain’t helping much! Chough!”

This skill has only been useful once.

I’m starting to feel like I don’t really need it, so I’m starting to think that it’s time to turn it into an experience point.

It is frustrating to just keep getting beaten like this.

In the meantime, I created a series of 【Reamed Water Spear】 once again and began to attack.

Since I was underwater, my movements would be limited, but I would be able to make it work.

Just as I was about to use the spear, the fish that had been hiding behind the Bedlock came out all at once, blocking the movement of my spear again.

“Are you still here? So annoying!”

Despite all the swearing, the situation has not changed at all.

Perhaps there is a problem with the pattern, but for now, the only thing I can do is to buy time.

As long as I could buy some time, the rest would be easy to manage.

I once again maneuvered the 【Water Spear Volley】, which had been thrown out, and exterminated the fish that appeared.

Perhaps because the number of fish had decreased, their movements had become more agile.

It took a considerable amount of time to eliminate the fish, but during that time, the Bedlock did not attack any of the previously mentioned attacks.

Possibly, it might take a while for that attack to be used.

If so, that would be convenient, but if it attacks again, the pneumatic shield may not be able to withstand it this time.

I’m not sure how much longer it will be able to operate, but in the current state, …… there is still a chance that …… it will be ready in time.

The chain of【Water Spear Volley】 was destroyed again.

But right after it is destroyed, one of 【Reamed Water Spear】skewers one of the fish.

That fish was spasming and convulsing, but it soon became silent.

Similarly, the other 【Water Spear Volley】hunt around the remaining fish.

The Bedlock still did not move.

Nope, it couldn’t move.

It was just in time.

The 【Air Compression】had been activated right from the start of the battle.

Finally, it was charged.

I dropped the compressed air into the water and brought it to Bedlock’s body.

After confirming this, I quickly fled from the river to land.

When I get far enough, I release the air compressed by 【Air Compression】.

DHOOOOOOOON!

A huge explosion occurred, blowing away all the water between the water and compressed air field.

I looked up at the flying fish, relieved in my heart that I was right to escape to land.

I could also see the sight of a Bedlock that had been split in half.

It had been hit by such a powerful attack at extremely close range. That’s right, their bodies were separated from each other.

There was a brief shower, but it stopped after a while.

After that, the fish started falling down.

And lastly, there’s [Don-don!] noise. Finally, the forest was quiet down after the thud sound..

I honestly had a rather hard time …… though I didn’t take the comfortable human form because I wanted to try fighting in as a snake for the first time in a long time …….

To be honest, I admit that I still can’t use MP very well, so there were a lot of areas where I was slow in my judgment.

I was a little too careless and used a water shield, and that’s the result. I got into a lot of trouble. ……

The double 【Reamed Water Spear】 is a powerful attack, but it lacks mobility.

The 【Water Spear Volley】 are not as sharp as they should be.

However, when taking on a large number of opponents, 【Water Spear Volley】 is still sufficient.

While attacking with the 【Water Spear Volley】, the 【Reamed Water Spear】 can be used to stop the attacker.

This is probably the best way to fight with a spear.

I should practice using the s【Sharp Water Blade】 even in the form of a snake next time.

“‘aight! Let’s eat!”

I feel bad for Reizen, but I’m trying to gain a little bit of experience point.

I’m going to eat all the fish I kill. …… yep.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to retrieve all of them.

For now, I’ll eat the Bedlock first.

I tried to bite the Bedlock, but it was not that hard.

Of course, I’m using 【Herculean Jaw】.

If not, it would be impossible to bite it off.

I guess the 【Herculean Jaw】 may be stronger than any other skill that I possess.

[You have gained experience points. Your LV now is 54]

Oh, it’s been a while, voice of heaven.

I guess I have to eat in monster form to get the experience gain results.

I didn’t hear that when I was in human form. ……

But still, I guess the LV went up by 7 in one bite. …….

This is something I can expect from ……!

Thinking so, munching off the Bedlock.

It took me quite a long time to eat it because it was huge, but that was nothing compared to the amount of experience I gained.

[You have gained experience points. Your LV is MAX. The next Evolution is possible. Display the current status?]

Oh……! Oh …! !!

Reizen, please excuse me that I’m off first. Status check!

Hell yeah! Status over four digits! Holy shit!

Uh, what is it?

Let’s see…… it looks like I have high magic power after all.

MP is also in four digits.

I guess I will be using my skills to the fullest.

However, there was a thought that struck me.

I was thinking about agility.

Speaking of agility, people tend to think that it increases speed, but I don’t feel that my walking speed or running speed has changed much.

When I ran, I didn’t notice much difference.

If you ask me why I didn’t pay attention to it before, I can only say that I thought it was just the way it was. ……

That aside, I have to ask the voice of heaven about something important from now on.

My LV is maxed out.

That means I can do …… evolution.

It was surprisingly fast process to evolve.

Perhaps the special skill of 【Rare Species Benefits】 had something to do with it, but I think I reached 200 LV in a blink of an eye.

It seems that it is difficult to acquire experience points in human form.

With this in mind, I excitedly asked the Voice of Heaven for information on the evolution destination.
