Chapter 169.2 - Red Raptor

The giant crab has a tough shell rivaling that of a rock spider. Normally speaking, only berserker or the dark knight could break through those shells with ease, it was still a bit too much for Rem the 3rd who just strengthed a little bit stronger than her normal form. Nevertheless, though Arachne Rem, I, and skeletons squad could distract the third giant crab there was the raptor's crowd eyeing us from behind, in the forest.

Crabs at the front gate, raptors at the back gate. Though the saying sounds much better than lion and wolf, in reality, those crabs and raptors were far more terrifying than lion and wolf.

Mei-chan, take care of the crab! Arachne, support her!

YES!!

SHAAAAAAA!

For now, Mei-chan should be able to deal with those three giant crabs. There shouldn't be a problem since she also got the support of Arachne Rem.

And then, with Rem-Dark Knight and Rem the 3rd as a vanguard, and skeleton squad as a meat wall, we will block the incoming raptors. These raptors were much easier to handle than those infinitely spammed high zombies.

Maybe those giant crabs appeared in the worst timing as if it had been waiting for us was to avenge their comrade who became our dinner. Well, today might simply just not be our lucky day. Since the misfortune kept coming one after another as if to prove Wait a minute, was this really just a mere coincidence?

KYOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Let's do it like usual, Rem. Spread, Rotten Bog

First, let's use our usual tactic, pulling them into Rotten Bog. Since I couldn't underestimate the raptors' jumping strength, I did my best to create the biggest bog I could make.

Both Rem-Dark Knight and The 3rd could make full use of the bog. They would disturb the monster who tried to jump over the bog. In the worst case, I could disturb their jum with black hair feeler.

As for the skeletons, though they couldn't move properly in the bog created on the sandy beach, it was plenty enough to allow them to fight.

And lastly, I just needed to keep those raptors at bay as long as possible. I'm gonna disturb their jump with Blackhair Bind, and kept them at bay with Redhair Twine. And then, by loading Summoner's Skull into the Fool's Cane, I could use Poison which could insta-kill raptor-level monster.

Here we go. Kill'em all.

This was the winning formula that we kept using even now. I also had some leeway thanks to an offensive skill called Poison. But, the flock raptors were unperturbed by those.

EAT THIS, POISON!

Seeing the red raptor standing at the edge of the acid bog, and after making sure that it was already inside my line of sight, I unleashed an invisible curse, Poison toward it. This curse which would deliver poison toward the enemy in a straight line, in my line of sight, was supposed to be invisible to the other party yes, it SHOULD be invisible.

SHA, KUAAAAAAAAAA!

The red raptor's body suddenly arched forward alongside its loud scream. And by the time I noticed, that fella had already gotten away from my line of sight.

No way, it dodged!?

Could it be that fella could see something along the poison wave heading toward it? Or else, did it notice in that instant that it wouldn't hit by my curse as long as it avoided my line of sight? It would be okay if it was just a coincidence, but

Aaah, dammit, that fella is way too agile!

That fella then transformed into the red gale, running around in the vicinity of the acid bog. I tried my best to take down that fella, but its running speed, and the way it was jumping around randomly, sometimes hiding into the flock of its comrades, it kept dodging all the curses aimed toward it splendidly.

Crap, my poor dynamic vision couldn't catch up with that fella's erratic movements. To begin with, aiming and shooting were something that I'm really bad at. It wasn't that I hate FPS, but I didn't like it that much either.

SHAAA, SHAAA!

The red raptor who slipped out of my aim then came out and unleashed a counterattack. It swung its saw-like tail toward the nearby skeletons.

Naturally, the skeleton mob which was nothing more than the weakest mob in this dungeon was crushed like cookies when the strong, saw-like tail blade struck them. The tail that swung horizontally split the skeleton in half right from its waist.

But when I tried to fire Poison using that gap when it paused for a moment after unleashing an attack

SHAAAAAAAAAAA!

It failed since the red raptor didn't stop moving after it unleashed its attack.

It skillfully dodged my aim with fluid motion, stepping onto the fallen upper half of the skeleton who just got bisected, it then kicked out with its muscular rear leg, and ran along the sandy beach.
