The latest game is too amazing – Chapter 6

TL: TAS and TGTBGAM will come later in a few hours.

Chapter 6

The southwest of Meldor is a gra.s.sland.

The view of the area is very clear so it is unlikely to be receive a one-sided attack.

In exchange, there is a certain problem that exists……

Cornelia’s mood seems to be bad.

Why is that, does it has have anything to do with me?

Could it be that she wanted to enjoy things with her friends, and a stranger like myself who joined their group did not please her?

As for the other two, it was not really a problem. Rather, it’s progressing quite well.

Especially Liam who’s good at talking.

In conclusion the setting for the game is quite extensive. The monsters are becoming active because of the Evil G.o.d’s revival, and the orc in the forest area located in the north is currently led differently, and their large numbers are becoming a troublesome issue, and because of that the Intermediate potion materials cannot be collected and people are trying to find solutions for that.

It’s not only the change in leaders.h.i.+p. There might also be bosses around.

The NPCs here are incredible AI, so it’s possible that there are AI monsters skilled in leaders.h.i.+p.

After that the topic went to daily stuff— Talk about our family and where we came from.

Liam was born with five other siblings.

Conversely, I was the only son and I felt a little envious of him. After that I learned that his family was not particularly rich, so he was sent out to work.

Still, Liam has entered society hmm…. (TL: I think this means that the protagonist is already working.)

But having a ValGear which is at such an expensive price and to play Another World so much —– Is it that, he’s just like me who got selected?

But when the topic comes to Cornelia’s family —- No, when the topic comes to her father, her mood takes a turn to the worse and the topic naturally ends.

I don’t know why her mood becomes so bad, I wonder if she hates her father or something.

But listening to stuff about family for the first meeting. There is really no manner in it.

And thanks to that the atmosphere becomes even more awkward.

I really feel like running away.

I wish someone can break this mood.

Emilia stops walking. Can it be possible that we reached our destination?

[Emilia-]

When Liam calls out to her, Emilia places her finger over her lips to signal for them to be silent.

Due to this unusual indication, Liam pulls out her sword, Cornelia readies her bow, and I hold my staff out.

There is nothing around us, and the only thing that we can see is gra.s.sland. There is no indication of any monsters.

But there is a faint sound that we could hear in our ears without mistake, ‘zuzuzu’ —– This strange noise, what exactly is it?

What should I do in this situation…. Ah, I forgot all about it.

As I think about it, I remember that and display the Map Window.

This is a solution to an ambush. I was attacked from behind in the previous battles with the killer bees, and I thought of various ways to deal with an ambush in the blind spots.

Zooming in the Map Window will display the monsters and humans with colored codes.

If this is utilized before anything happened, one will know where the enemy is trying to ambush us.

My party members are indicated in green in the Map Window, and the orange color are foes that have not recognized us as enemies, while red color are foes that have recogized as enemies — And there are six red color marks surrounding us.

[Everyone be careful! There are Giant Moles here!]

I’m not sure if it is an reaction to Emilia, the soil bulged upwards and launched towards us with a breaking sound.

I dodge it by stepping to the side right away.

Liam seemed to have received some damage to his leg as he dodged because the enemies are near him.

HP Bar — The HP and MP of the party members can be seen in the bar graph — I can see that the damage done was not huge.

That’s because the defense for a warrior is high.

[Tch! How dare you!]

Cornelia’s clicked her tongue as she released her arrows into the rising soil, but even though it pierced through the earth, there was no effect to it.

Giant Mole, that is a considerably troublesome foe.

They are below the ground and it is hard for us to attack from our position, and they keep aiming at our feet with a hit and run tactic, which makes it hard to escape here.

It’s a simple but effectively disgusting effect.

Using [Mana Bolt] on the ground, although it could gouge the earth, was not an effective measure with the Moles digging away in the ground. There is also the issue where the power is weak against them as the Giant Moles are level 10.

Emilia smashes onto the ground with her mace where a little of the Giant Mole’s head can be seen.

While a healing profession should be weak, she is still of a higher level character at level 13. (Cornelia and Liam are level 8, I am level 6.)

The Giant Mole which got struck looks gory, but it is a little scary when I see the mace covered with blood moving back and forth.

What should we do about the rest.

It seems to be hard to attract them to get Emilia to defeat them.

The timing and level difference made the risk much too high, as a single blow could end someone as weak as myself.

Mana Bolt which could gouge the earth away, while Cornelia’s attack is ineffective because of the earth — Of course!

[Cornelia! Aim for the enemy after my attack!]

There was no time for confirmation as to whether she understood my intention. I released a Mana Bolt to where the Mole was moving towards.

The stretch of earth flew up where the Mana Bolt struck, and the appearance of the mole could be seen.

At that instant, Cornelia’s arrow pierced through the mole, and it screamed as it arched its back upwards.

Because of that arrow, it was unable to escape into the ground easily. In that gap, Cornelia shoots again.

Soon after that, the same attack is repeated with two more Moles.

The rest of the monsters…… One was defeated by Emlia, but the rest of them were in a critical position in our flanks!

[Chaos, they are coming from the left!]

[Spider net!]

Even though the thread did not reach into the ground, it caught the Giant Moles when they surfaced from the ground.

[Leave them to me, Haaa!]

Liam’s long sword ends the Giant Moles which moved slower.

[Sorry, that was reckless of me.]

Liam apologized with his head bowed.

Actually, there really is no way to handle them when they came right beside you right?

[Don’t move about when I restore you Liam. Heal!]

Light like a fire lit up from Emilia’s hand, and after receiving that shower of light, the injury of Liam’s foot recovered.

[Thank you Emilia. But what exactly are you doing Chaos?]

[I’m gathering materials from the Giant Mole.]

I lay my hands on the corpses of the Giant mole, and start recovering materials and items from the dead body. After that the body and blood disappeared.

I thought the items and drops will automatically go into my inventory when I defeated a monster, and I did not know know that I have to take them from the dead body.
