“Howready for so
“There are six… I sao of those Skolopendra crawlers around…”
Roland explained to his impro in the open cavern He took a peek outside to see the closest monster nearby To his surprise, it was a rare variant of the volcanic salamander The rest were creepy insect types that were even crawling on the ceiling
“Sir Robert… can you be the vanguard?”
Roland asked while Robert nodded without even co He feared that he would have a repeat of what happened during the bandit attack all those years ago This wasn’t the first noble lady and her knight that he was tea up with Robert didn’t seem overprotective of Lady Lucille, it seeical abilities
“I’ll be right behind you then… and Lady Lucille give us soed support if you can”
“Leave it to me, Sir Wayland!”
“Stay safe Lady Lucille, if so happens just run!”
Robert turned to the ice
“Don’t worry Sir Robert, I’ll be fine, Sir Wayland's tani‘Leave it up to me' This Ruby Wolf was the weakest member of the party but he could at least stall soive Lucille precious ti blow
The plan was to use ranged attacks, Robert was the only person who lacked those capabilities He was tasked to keep thepast him while Roland and Lucille pelted them with spells
“Everyone ready?”
Lucille and Robert nodded at Roland’s question and they entered the strangely lit cavern It was of th with fifty in width The ceiling was quite high, over ten meters
The layout was also quite peculiar as there wereRoland and Lucille could feel thefro like stalactites
There were sh size for the centipede and slug-likewith them, there was also one pool of lava in the h
“Mana, source of all power heedher incantation She was quite speedy with her words,his ical rod to produce a burst of cold energy
This was a spell called icicle rain It created many small sharp icicles that would fly in a burst of cold air in a wide area These creatures would all lose so temperatures The best way to do this ith an area of effect spell
The open cavern had a small lava pool in the middle which would make this process more difficult It was also closed off froy so cold air and icicles in all directions while Robert guarded hied to finish her incantation, the spell she used sprayed cold energy along with snow in all directions
“Cone of cold!”
The monsters that were here were a bit slow to react as the party of adventurers was not ai at the around as they felt the shi+ft in temperature By instinct, they started to back away fro-like creatures that were hanging on so into the down The Ruby Sala it started retreating away towards the nearby lava pool
“No, you don’t!”
Roland quickly reacted by sending an ice arroards the fleeing monster It could not escape them, it was far too valuable and needed to be stopped before it could flee
The ice arrow connected with the creature’s leg, it went right through those red geh intelligence stat, paired with his high-grade rune weapons was not so that a creature of this level could hope to resist
The Ruby Sala its head towards the person that injured it It opened itsattack was produced and headed right towards its attacker
This was thefor With his shi+eld forward he jumped between Roland and the salaiven to hilowing brighter before expanding outwardly into a frozen block of ice This block of ice took the form of the kite shi+eld hich the fla cold which successfully doused the fla any heat past
Roland used this chance to take ai the Ruby sala arrows The monster’s body was soon covered in icicles and it stopped ic sure is handy…’’
He looked around the now frosted over cavern The other insect reat after he and Lucille lowered the te from the cold
The rest of the battle was quite uneventful as they went around and finished the paralyzed monsters off
“Think that was all of the out his detection device he took some time to look around It didn’t seem that there were any more hidden enemies around now and that was soon confirical item
Thanks to the pool of lava in the an to quickly melt Even with that, it would take some time, and thanks to this the party of three and a pup could cool down
“What is this place?”
Lucille co into the cavern Robert was quick to co up
“The e… those crystals… are they?”
“Elokin’s Crystals?”
Both Roland and Lucille could feel that large quantities of ems in this cavern They seemed to be crystallized forical items There were quite a few of theold
Roland leaned down to grasp one of these crystals They looked like blue ge too much force they would break easily and even turn to liquid when used as fuel after a while From what Roland knew, the harder the crystal the more mana could be stored in it
‘I could probably stick one of these into a gole it would last…’
Goleical ite like Elokin’s Fluid or ato develop his own batteries that would use his old world knowledge but this would work just as well
This wasn’t all there was to this cave, after soe-looking rocks One of them was quite red and had some metallic luster to it
“Could this be…”
He spoke out without noticing which brought the attention of his two noble co ha Sir Wayland?”
Lucille asked but didn’t get round After aout some kind of reddish rock
“What is that Sir Wayland?”
“Oh… excuse me…”
Roland was finally able to snap out of his trance He was so like this here
“If I’m not mistaken, this is Red Mithril…”
“Red Mithril?”
