Because of that, I can immediately know when to shoot the next Spell. This is something that would not be possible with a Spell like Breeze Storm, because it’s pretty much invisible to the naked eye.
Well, even if there is a loss of time, then I think that at worst its going to be a few seconds or even less than that.
Still, it should be a little bit different.
I can see the sparks flying in the air, so I can clearly see and feel that the magic is used, unlike with the other Spells.
When it comes to the current group of Gummi Slimes, there were three of them in the vanguard and two in the rearguard. And since these two are in such a position, then it is more than likely that they’re going to be using magic to attack.
If possible, I would prefer to dispose of all five of them at once, but as long as we get them to fight all of us one-on-one, then we should be safe...
Ah, one of them came to the front just now.
Maybe the monsters have thought that fighting one-on-one was impossible for them? Nah, I don’t think so.
While continuing to release my magic, I also catch up with the girls at the front.
Whoops! When I caught up with them, I saw a magic circle forming under one of the Gumi Slimes.
「Here it comes!」
Just when I thought about that, I saw a clump of dirt flying just past Roxanne. Was that one of the Slimes using single target magic?
It was my first time seeing magic being used on the twenty-third floor so I thought that it might be a good idea to take this Spell head-on, but then I remembered about the risk of the Spells being fired repeatedly, so the only natural response was to avoid it.
So I chose to stop all five of them.
In the end, one of the Gumi Slime that turned around behind me fired another single target Spell towards us, but it didn’t manage to hit anyone with it, causing the battle to end without a hitch shortly after.
「None of them used any area of effect magic in the end.」
「Yes, but it is generally agreed that the higher the floor, the bigger the chance for them to do so. That’s why we have to be increasingly more careful of being hit by it from the twenty-third floor onwards.」「Is that so?」
Sherry remains as calm as always.
From an experiment’s point of view, it was a shame that none of the Gumi Slimes used area of effect magic, but I’m not going to complain about that.
Guided by Roxanne, we proceed forward.
Next came a group of three Gumi Slimes, one Clam Shell and one Kettle Mermaid, so five monsters in total.
Since you found these guys, was Roxanne so obedient because she wanted to fight them?
The four of us start running, and I shoot out a 「Breeze Storm」.
「Fire Storm」 cannot be used on Clam Shells as they are resistant to Fire Magic.There are three Gummi Slimes this time, but even if the number of Gummi Slimes was less than two or three, I should still aim for the Gumi Slimes first and defeat them as soon as possible to avoid being hit by area of effect magic.
While fighting with Wind Magic, the vanguard team collided with the monsters.
A Gumi Slime appeared behind me.
「Miria, do it!」
「Yes, desu!」
Miria takes care of one of the two Gumi Slimes that appeared before her because of their potential to be petrified. I want her to try and neutralize as many strong monsters as possible.
「Here it comes!」
Another shot of Earth Magic flew Past Roxanne once more. Even though I did my best to wait for it, it seems that the enemies were still not going to use area of effect magic against us.
「Did it, desu!」
「Let’s fall back a little.」
As soon as I caught up with the girls, Miria managed to petrify one of the Gumi Slimes, but I panicked and ordered them to fall back. While we were doing that, the monsters advanced forward.
The petrified Gumi slime has been left behind, and the other one that was hanging out in the backline until now filled the empty space that it left behind. With that, all of the monsters were in the vanguard position now.
Well, I’m in a situation where I want to be hit by an area of effect magic, so I wouldn’t mind it at all if you stayed back there and shot it towards me.
During the fight I would’ve probably get hit by it anyway even if I didn’t want it, so I wouldn’t mind showing any gaps in my defense just this once.
Sherry strikes the Gumi Slimes with her spear and I unleash 「Breeze Storm」upon them. Vesta is attacking the Kettle Mermaid without hesitation, because since it is not a Gumi Slime, her attacks with her two-handed sword are actually going to be very effective against it. She hammers one blow after another into it, to the point where I am actually starting to feel sorry for the monster.
As for the Gumi Slimes, the one more in the back was petrified by Miria and then turned into smoke that disappeared along with the wind. At the same time, the one that was in the vanguard shook violently and attacked Roxanne.
