31 # 30 Wakagi no Mori no Naka Boss Battle.txt (1/2)

Well, we've arrived at the young tree forest and we're all ready to fight. We can't let our guard down from here, you know.

Once we get to the forest, they come, they come. Goblins and wolves, averaging about 10 of them, show up in packs. Well, they are the target of a long-range attack, since they can sense Gray's presence at a distance. Even if you can get close, the ones waiting for you are Lily, Ion, Toratetsu and Gray. It's not going to be that easy.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''You are so used to fighting.

'Yeah, I expected that to a certain extent since the summons are so evolved.

Mr. Tact, you're supposed to be a beginner, right?

You don't look like a beginner.

Gray, you're so cool.

That being said, this is what happened naturally... and then time passed, and I was hunting various monsters and gathering materials when suddenly Gray let out a low growl, just like he did in Garbella Glow. The place where that boss was supposed to be is still a long way off...

Everybody be alerted. Gray's got something on his mind.

Is he the boss?

I'm sure I saw that guy further back, but...

Gah!

Gray shouts. At the same time, Konoha takes to the skies, and the enemy is coming!

Gaaaaaah!

It was a bipedal wolf... no way... could it be... my identification skills catch it.

The Wolfman?

Mid-boss, target to be taken down, active.

This is the Wolfman! And a mid-boss? The reaction of the women in production when they saw the Wolfman was the same.

「「「「 disgusting! 」」」」

This Wolfman, if I had to describe him in words, would be a large, slender, macho, hairy man. He has a muscular chest plate with a hefty amount of chest hair. You could call it disgusting.

'Wow.'

Wolfman shouts. I feel a deep sadness.

”I feel sorry for this guy.

Yeah.

”That's disgusting!

It's Lilly and Aeon. Don't go after them. I think a man's HP will go to zero if you say that to a little girl. Huh? Wouldn't it be easier if we could take this guy down? But it wasn't that simple. Wolves are emerging from the forest in droves. Are there more than 20 of them? And I'm completely surrounded. This is a pinch.

'Mental strength... this guy.

I'm a hero with no pants on.

Yes, this werewolf doesn't have pants and underwear on. By the way, he doesn't have a man's pants, so it seems to be safe.

Hey! Don't be weird!

Don't look at it.

Shut up!

Ruin, I'm sorry you had to look at the gun...I'm sorry.

'There's no way out for now. Crowe, play wall.

I don't have a shield!

You're the only person in the vanguard.

People say it's a sacrifice. But as long as they're behind it, Mr. Ruin will be stuck. We have to follow up here. It was originally a request for an escort.

Gray, Toratetsu, you'll follow up with Luin and the others. Toratetsu will be in the back, and Gray will be hard to follow, but take care of the left and right.

The two animals nodded in response to my instructions, Toratetsu went behind Ruin-san, and Gray turned to follow.

Now, we'll...

'Lilly, reduce the number of Wolves. Aeon, please follow up with Lily.

Okay! Tact.

What are you going to do with that big one?

Ignore them for now. We don't want the Wolves gathering around.

I understand.

Aeon was convinced and Lily was the first to move. She suddenly unleashed a heavy slash on the Wolves, reducing their numbers. Naturally, Lily jumped out alone and was gathered by the Wolves.

''Wah!

Oh, come on... you know how I am about second-guessing things!

Ion follows up with a complaint. I cover him with Windcutter, Earth Shot, and Aqua Ball.

And now that I'm alone, I'm naturally attacked from behind, but I kick one of them away and punch away the other one that attacked me. Unfortunately, my initial skill has a short hardening time. However, you can't even defeat it with a blow.

Ruin and the others were also attacked, but Crow's hammer struck a blow to the Wolf. In the meantime, the Wolf approaches Ruin and his friends, but Gray follows him. Ruin and the others hurled verbal abuse at him, telling him to ”get a grip” or ”get a move on. It's a terrible thing that you've just defeated a wolf.

Behind Ruin and the others, Toratetsu was doing his best. He wiped away the wolves that attacked him one after another with a series of tiger punches and bit the following Wolf. Defeated. This is how a tiger fights! They are so strong.

With the help of Ruin's magic, it looks like they have the upper hand, but this is a mid-boss battle. It was not going to be easy.

The Wolfman attacked me.

Seeing that he ignored Lily and Ion, I wonder if he understood that I was a summoner and aimed at me?

Tact, look out!

Mr. Tact! Please run away.

Lily and Ion make a lot of noise, but there's no way out of it by running away. Then we have to fight. I'm going to put a defensive down while I'm still in range. There's no point in attacking down, because if I get hit, I'll die anyway. So I choose to go on the defensive. He goes down defensively, but I don't give a d*mn and the Wolfman's claws come at me. I back step and dodge.

Wolf comes after me as I dodge, but I counter and punch him away. Ugh.

Wolfman attacks me with his other claw, but I backstep to dodge it too.

But my back hits a tree. Seeing that I have no way out, Wolf uses his skills.

Here it is. The Wolfman momentarily stiffens as the skill is activated. In close quarters, that's deadly.

My front kick takes a critical hit on Wolfman's side.

Then Wolfman looks down, unexpectedly, and the skill is cancelled. And Wolfman stiffens. This has been confirmed in the fight between Lily and Ion. I challenge them to a fight. If it continues, I'll win.

But for the first time, something happens. The Wolf's eyes glow suspiciously red. Something is coming!

'Something's coming! Everybody be on the defensive!

Mr. Lwin shouted, but it was too late.

''Wah-oh-oh!!!''

Wolfman shouts loudly, almost preventing his ears from hearing, but his body doesn't move... what?

I looked at the status screen and saw that I was in a state I'd seen before. This is paralysis!

And even Ruin and the others and Lily and the others were paralyzed. Oh no! At this rate, we'll be wiped out.

The Wolfman uses his claw skill with a smile as if he is convinced of victory.

Seeing that scene, I---laughed.

That's a shame....I can see it. That one of my party members didn't get paralyzed!

Ho!

An icicle hits the Wolfman's face from above. Wolfman is surprised by the unexpected attack. More icicles rain down from the sky, aiming at Wolfman's face. He couldn't help but defend himself with both hands.

The attacker was Konoha. Konoha, who was on alert from the sky, was outside the range of Wolfman's skills.

The paralysis is lifted and he can move. Victory! Can't you be so defensive with your face? I'm proud of you.

I use my leg technique [front kick] and hit Wolfman directly. Wolfman is in agony. Is that good? A girl with an offensive power behind her that I can't handle.

Lily, get it done!

Yeah!

Lily wears an aura. It's fighting spirit. With her muscle strength further increased, Lilly uses her favorite technique.
