It had been a week and a day
I’d learned a great nuthe shi+eld to absorb the on my status screen that it was hard to keep up with it all
“Wait!”
Noticing us, a prickled, needle-covered thing, which looked like a porcupine of some kind, ran off Raphtalia and I ran after it
The both of us had been leveling up steadily Raphtalia had reached level 25, and I was at level 20
Raphtalia had grown up very quickly
… And I was still fighting in tattered rags
I was a any da, or were they all that weak?
But I had been hurt
I’d been overconfident in ainst the porcupine with a weak shi+eld and suddenly felt a sharp pain Due to ed me a little
Even though I’d been using the Alert shi+eld, he still ed to stick me
Oh, by the way, the Alert shi+eld would send out an alarm if an enemy ca came near
It was not actually all that useful
It would tell you if there was a monster nearby, but it wouldn’t tell you where that monster was
“Geez, that kind of hurt”
I painted so wound
Of course it would hurt to get stuck with a needle That’s normal
I’d gotten so used to not feeling any pain since I’d coet what it was like
“That’s what I was saying, Mr Naofuot some better equipment for yourself”
“Nah, it’s because I was using a weak shi+eld”
Soed to protectas a nore the rest of my equipment I mean, the center of the shi+eld still seeest, but the rest of my body was protected too, so I hadn’t been hurt yet
The Sharpening shi+eld really was proving useful Just like we’d thought, it would keep Raphtalia’s weapon sharp automatically
It would sharpen for eight hours If you took the sword out beforehand, it wouldn’t do anything But the major problem was that it ate up my SP the whole time
Whatever Time to practice some of the other skills I’d learned
“Air Strike shi+eld!”
The skill fore of about five meters
It wassoer you left it deployed, the weaker it got
But it got stronger if you screamed for it
The porcupine reacted with surprise to the Air Strike shi+eld But it i
damn… If it had stayed within five er was fast
Oh well
“shi+eld Prison!”
The skill fore around the battlefield, with a diameter of about six meters
This tiet
The skill could be used to protect a target, or to restrain a target
But they were both defensive, so it couldn’t be used to deal dae directly
“Yipe!”
The porcupine had nowhere to run and started to spin in circles within the cage
The cage would remain on the battlefield for fifteen seconds
As aited, Raphtalia ran over to the cage, and waited for it to disappear When it did, she stabbed the porcupine
“Yipe!”
“Got him!”
Raphtalia picked up the porcupine and ca
“Nice!”
