Sherry asked the most important question here, and Roxanne gave her the answer in the plainest voice possible.
Twenty Poison Needles? That is quite a lot. Not to mention that the possibility of us getting found out and attacked in the meantime is definitely going to be high.
Yes, definitely, but that is something that should be expected. All you would have to do then is to continue throwing Poison Needles at the monster while avoiding all of its attacks.
Continue throwing the Poison Needles while avoiding the attacks of a Golem-type monster from up close and personal? Again, I feel like this is something that no one else beside Roxanne would be able to pull off, since she has her godly dodging abilities and all that.
Well, poisoning such an enemy would be fine and all, but after you poisoned it, what were you doing next?
That is also quite simple. I would continue to avoid and dodge its attacks until it would have collapsed due to the accumulation of all the poison damage.
You you just dodged? You did not try to attack it in any other way, only avoiding its attacks the entire time?
Yes, Because Non-R.E.M Golem is one of the few opponents against which my attacks were not working at all, and if I would have been hit with even one of its attacks, it would have definitely resulted in my instantaneous death. In the worst-case scenario anyway.
Worst-case scenario? And what would the best-case scenario be?
Roxanne.
Miss Roxanne.
Yes? What is it, master? Sherry?
We are glad your family stopped you. Please, do not do that ever again.
Telling her that right now was like doing her a kindness, because it will be much better for her to hear something like that form us than from a complete stranger or the figures of authority if she ever tried to introduce children to the methods of playingthat would place them in danger.
Now that we have started exploring the ninth floor of Quratars Labyrinth in earnest, we discovered that most of the groups of enemies that we have encountered so far were either just NT Ants, monsters native to the ninth floor of his Labyrinth, or Needlewoods from the previous floor, or combinations of these two, which was a pretty weird and unusual combination, since Needlewoods are resistant to Water Magic while NT Ants are weak to Water Magic, which made it somewhat difficult for me to adjust my spells and change them on the fly whenever I had to switch to a different target.
Up until now I did not really have to pay attention to those things and aside from testing the other types of magic out I was pretty much using either Fireballor Fire Stormall the time, so needless to say, the flow of the battles is not as smooth as I would have liked it to be, but if there is one good thing to be taken from such a setup, then it would be the thing that, at least in my opinion, it is good that NT Ants are the monsters from the ninth floor that have a weakness that I can exploit.
If it was the other way around and the Needlewoods were the monsters from the ninth floor instead of eighth, then it would have been much harder. But now, when we are facing a group of three NT Ants and one Needlewood, I can quickly get rid of the ants with Water Magic and then finish the remaining Needlewood without any issues or fear of getting myself poisoned in case I would focus on it too much and allowed the NT Ants to get close to me.
The situation was also the same with the other configuration of three Needlewoods and one NT Ant, but in that case Water Magic is substituted for Fire Magic, which I use to dispose of the Needlewoods with Fire Storms.
