Feel free to think whatever you want about the actuality of the words that I am using, but as long as you make Roxanne understand and say the chant for Beast Attack in a proper way, then I really will not give a damn about it.
As a warrior (mononofu). . . . . . . . . yes, that might be it!
Roxanne closed her eyes, took a couple of deep breaths and the began to redo the chant.
As a warrior born of formidable beasts, unleash my full power and grant it to me! Mortal Blow. . . . BEAST ATTACK! ! ! ! ! !!
Roxanne shouted, and slammed the Scimitar into Pans body with visibly more force than before, and twice as much speed. I do not think if describing it like that is going to be accurate, but. . . . . but I think that for a moment there she was moving so fast that I have lost her from my sight for a split second. Could it really be that this Skill of hers made it possible for her to move so fast and hit so hard with just the momentum alone? And speaking of hitting hard. . . . .
Instead of slashing through Pan in an instant, Roxannes Scimitar dug itself into his guts, and moved forward after a few solid seconds of being embedded inside of him, after which the sheer impact of the blow the tore his side wide open send him tumbling into the nearby wall that he then bounced off of it, landing on the ground pretty hard.
Ohhh!!! Just now, that was. . . . . . . . . .!!!!!
YES! I did it, master! It was a success!!!!!!
Yeah. . . . yeah, you can say that again, Roxanne. That attack just now was really something.
Amazing! You were so cool just now, Miss Roxanne!!!
Sherry was absolutely right to be amazed. If nothing else, the attack that Roxanne executed just now certainly deserved to be called life threatening. If an ordinary human were to be hit by something like that, they would probably either dropped dead on the spot or be cleaved cleanly in half. Even looking at if from the outsiders perspective, the difference between Beast Attacks and regular attacks power and speed was plain to see even with the eye of someone who has nothing to do with Labyrinths and adventuring on a daily basis.
You might say that, but trust me master, knowledge of the old words and expressions in Brahim language is a kind of a huge deal.
Well, if you say so.
I wonder if Sherrys opinion of me increased a little bit more thanks to that? Then again, I only know Brahim because I basically cannot see the distinction between Brahim and Japanese, my native language, so I feel like I should not be just going around claiming to have mastered it to God knows how big of a degree if I want to stay out of trouble in regards to it, like I have been doing up until now.
However, there is one thing that I do regret. Even though we have fought properly against Pan, who was supposed to be the strongest of the lower floors Floor Bosses, the battle still ended too quickly for my liking. I tried to do my best, but even so, I was still unable to fully grasp all of its attack patterns.
So it is hopeless after all, huh? Instead of praising me some more for my knowledge of Brahim, Sherry was focused only on the fact that she was not able to study Pans attack patterns and movements as thoroughly as she wanted. And with her complaining like that, we have finally proceeded to the eighth floor. From here on out, monsters are going to start showing up in groups of up to four of them, so we should make sure that we are going to be as careful as we possibly can be. For the time being, I think that the best course of action will be to continue having Roxanne and Sherry in the vanguard so that I could support them with my magic from the relative safety of the backlines. If such a setup worked nicely so far, then I do not see any need to change it anytime soon.
Since we are on an entirely new floor, then let us do the usual thing where we kick things off by picking a fight with a smaller group of enemies first, okay?
Okay! *Sniff Sniff* *Sniff Sniff* Looks like there is a small group of Collagen Corals nearby.
Collagen Corrals, huh?
After I instructed Roxanne about what we are going to be doing, she used her sense of smell and immediately located the nearest group of enemies. The monsters native to the eighth floor of the Labyrinth in Vale seem to be Collagen Corals.
Is there any way for us to gain knowledge about the monsters from specific floors of the Labyrinths?
There is a number of ways, actually. We can do that by asking the Explorer standing at the entrance to the Labyrinth, from the Explorers Guild in Vale, and from the Explorers Guild in Quratar.
Well, I know that much, but to be honest, I am not interested in getting to know about them in detail, or at least not yet. For the time being, I am going to be fully satisfied with knowing which monsters appear on which floors.
