Chapter 61 Impromptu Party 2 (2/2)
“It’s fine if you understand but I’ll need you to take a hts You don’t need to stick to your friend so closely I’ll protect her if so happens, that’s why I’on letting too many monsters into the party formation Aredhel could easily back away on her ohile he contended with the monsters in battle He would then support hiical attacks
He was a person with a lot of firepower but his fighting style was liical itee or a regular warrior The only thing above those was his high mana pool He also suffered froular ainst tier 2 monsters They also traveled at a slower speed then the e by eneility
“But how can I trus…”
Before Logon could pose that question he received another smack to the back of his head While Roland looked at this co The half-orc apparently thought that it was funny to see a grown on did bad not like Golgrireen skin, he just wanted to go over there and give the big idiot a s any better than hi after everyat the half-orc sternly He felt like he was a teacher in kindergarten and Aredhel was his assistant The an to sulk He sat down on the ground and started poking one of the dead monster bodies with a stick
“C-could you…”
Roland turned to the elven woe rim, Mr Carmine didn’t mean it He just needs you to listen to hie beast of a half-orc down Even though physically he outranked everyone here his ood at talking to kids so she soet hi ainGolgrion you two stay side by side and try not to break formation from now on… Me and Aredhel will stay in the back and support you with spells…”
The two knuckleheads nodded at the plan of action but if they would follow the instructions remained to be seen For now, the party removed the mana stones from the monster corpses and tredded forward They needed to find shelter in the next couple of hours before nightfall
Thethey met another type of monster It was only two this ti mantis
Greater Mantodea [ L 57 ]
Roland’s identification skill was finally at a level that he could use it for fights These monsters were of the tier 2 variety They were above hus were their calling card, the razor-sharp blades those had could even cut through metal Luckily insectoid rion Please distract them but don’t break formation, I’ll finish theave out the order while preparing for the rightforhile holding his club
“Golgri forward like a bull he started s the club on a nearby boulder The ht to the commotion and to the person that was responsible
The two insectoid h in the air
The lanced back for aa spell
“Holy light of the s be filled with your pure essence”
Logon’s body shone in a dark color as he felt his speed being increased If he looked at his status screen he would notice an increase in his agility by so spell before but not on hi spell increased your stats by a flat nuon took the chance that Golgri maneuver while the two insect h these tere slightly ht Golgrie wooden club at the monster which received the attack with its razor-sharp appendage
It was debatable which of these two hadwas certain A sharp weapon as the ot sliced in half just in one swing and caused the half-orc to lose balance
He was lucky that there was enough force in the clash to cause the monster’s attack to slon ie but its ally was not far behind A bolt of energy traveled towards it to give Golgrih tied his eneon used the chance to strike the beast’s side He s fro for his neck
Roland gave the two soe spells He was rusty with his incantations a bit but he wasn’t ai for a kill on the second creature, just to stall it
He saved his tier 2 spell for when the on continued to reh to deliver a finishi+ng blow A condensed ball of fla it ablaze The heat was enough to cause critical dae and al touch on the huge e fists The second monster wouldn’t just wait there for the party of people to kill hied at them with its sickle ar to do, instead, it received a e to the side but killing it with that spell wasn’t the thing Roland was ais sliced off by Logon that quickly returned to keep the backline safe With hie it was only a matter of time till the beast was also killed
At the end of the battle, Roland was rewarded with two coreen tint to it and could even be mistaken for emeralds
One of his party ri sounds, he rees
In his hand, the insect’s appendage looked like a largeit around, he even chopped up the er!”
He cheered while ree Roland now had a dual-wielding half-orc on his teah the brute certainly had zero finesse with hoinging those around Roland took a et too close to the half-orc when he inging those around There was no option to turn off friendly fire in this world
“Well, that wasn’t that bad, this time around…”
Roland coon wasn’t far behind as after defeating the monster he swooped in to see if hisfor wounds, he was really acting like the girl’s nanny
“I think we should move, the blood will only attract ree, we should also find shelter for the night”
Roland and Aredhel exchanged soo down and they probably had about two hours till sundown They needed to either find a cave to rest at or build a fire and camp out in the open
The first option would be the saver one but in caves, soht have to clear out any previous tenants before resting
The first day out in the gorge was drawing to an end After so up Roland could already see thee in one piece, that is if nothing out of the ordinary happened along the way
