It is not dead after one strike, so I use Rushon it again. *Tch!*, This shit is much stronger than I expected. I am genuinely surprised. To think that there would exist someone in this world capable of taking twoRush attacks without dying! Even two Rush attacks could not get rid of this Rub Shrub. While it begins to launch another attack, I swing my sword from the side and use a third Rush. Only then the Rub Shrub finally collapses.
Three Rush attacks to defeat just one monster, when one Rush can take out a Lv.11 monster? How can a monster be three times stronger with a difference of only two floors? I wonder if the difference of strength between monsters of the eleventh and twelfth floors is great as well. So, in other words, are monsters of the eleventh floor small fries in comparison to the ones from the twelfth floor and higher? Well, I guess that means that the service period is over now. If they are only going to be a few enemies, I guess I can make do with Durandal if things are going to turn out really bad. For now, wecan hunt some more on thirteenth floor. I will give them slow death, if that is what they want.
How many planks do you need, Sherry?
Five to six should suffice for now.
Six, huh? We have collected three of them so far. Alright, I am ready to hunt three more of them, so let us commence forth.
Another Rub Shrub comes out and attacks us, so I attacked him back with magic. It is comparatively more difficult to take it out while using Durandal. Magic attacks seem to be working better on it.
This time, I will turn it to smithereens without fail!
Annihilate without a trace! Gamma Ray Burst!
I call for forth Gamma Ray Burst. It is another Bonus Spell that I have beside Meteor Crash. Whether it is classified as Fire Magic or not, I do not know. But what I do know is
that the enemy that I a fighting right now is a Lv.13 monster, so I have to use powerful Spells I order to get rid of it, but
But nothing happens.
Do I still not have enough MP for Gamma Ray Burstto work, even though my levels are all fairly high? Does it need even more MP than Meteor Crash? Well, even Meteor Crash took almost all of my MP, so it is probably going to need only slightly more. Oh well, I guess I will just use Meteor Crashfor now then. Sparks scatter as red-hot meteorites strike the ground again.
Wow! How wonderful! Look, Roxanne, Sherry see the beautiful fireworks that I can produce?!
Are there only Rub Shrubs on this floor?
At the moment, we are fighting Rub Shrubs on the thirteenth floor of Tares Labyrinth, but so far we have only seen Rub Shrubs and no other monster besides them, so I asked Roxanne about it. But I do not think that would be the case though, because that would be pretty stupid after all the other floors that we have went through.
Two Rushs, huh? One Rush is enough for the monsters from the eleventh floor, so that is probably a normal increase. It is also possible that I could defeat it with one Rushand a Durandal swing, so it means that it is not unreasonably stronger. Two Rushswere not enough to defeat a single Rub Shrub. Is the strength of monsters from the twelfth floor onward one and a half or two times times more than the lower floor monsters?
I am going to need to check that more thoroughly.
Can you find the monster from the twelfth floor? It can be in a group because I am going to use magic on them anyway.
Okay, it shall be done as you ask, master!
I asked Roxanne, and she took us to the monster whose smell she had not previously smelt.
Pig Hog Lv.13
Two Rub Shrubs and a Pig Hog appeared. It is not a monster from the first eleven floors, so it must be the monster from the twelfth floor. It is a pig the size of a piglet. It has grown tusks, but no whiskers. As expected of Roxanne, excellent job tracking the monsters down like always!
Great job, Roxanne! Now let us get to it!
Thank you very much, master!
I thank Roxanne for a job well done and then use Meteor Crashon them right away, and the two Rub Shrubs are defeated immediately, while the Pig Hog is not.Is Meteor Crash classified as fire attribute magic after all?
I switch weapon from wand to Durandal and run towards the piglet. My MP has not been completely depleted, but it is getting close to the red zone, so I have to replenish it quickly before it gets too low.
As expected, the Pig Hog did not use any range attacks and simply rushed towards me, aiming for a purely physical confrontation, so I got as close to it as possible and then blasted it with Rush,but it did not fall after being hit with it just once, instead just brushing it off like it was nothing.
Okay, no need to panic just yet. I calmly dodged the Pig Hogs headbutt and then countered with yet another Rush. This time, it did fall for good, turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared. Finally.
It took two Rushattacks to beat a single Pig Hog down, huh? The monsters from the twelfth floor onwards are definitely stronger than the monsters from the lower floors. I am not sure by how much, however, since I was cautious and used Rushin order to dispatch it as soon as possible.
If I consider that Meteor Crash is an example of Fire Magic that does double damage to the Rub Shrub that is weak to Fire Magic, then that would explain why the Pig Hog did not fall from it, because it is not weak to Fire Magic.The Collagen Coral Lv.13 took two Rushesto kill, so do monsters from the twelfth floor and higher have twice as much strength? Is Meteor Crash only barely able to kill a Rub Shrub? Does Meteor Crash only have the same power as two Rushes?
