Chapter 16 – Brilliant stones

~ Adventurer’s life Day 8 Evening ~ Comne

s Town – Adventurers Guild – Lobby

After having a drink in celebration for defeating the forest wolf, Ruben from the 3rd division showed up

SeeRuben, do you need so from me?”

“… Well, yesI needed some witness reports with the incident you seeThose people on the sauess so…”

At that, Ruben came over to the table and came back with the both of theation roouided towards there

Along the ere joined up with another two of the guild’s staff membersOne of them was the trainer Doris, and the other was a bald man with a scar across his face…

First of all, I get that I’m here to discuss about the forest wolf, but since Benedetta and Radolf where there before I was, they discussed it with Ruben more about it

Frouards available but they were quite far froet so close without being detected by the guards

Indeed, having forest wolves frequently invading an area close to town is a pretty big probleet it now”

See thanked, the two returned back to the lobby… Eh, what about me?

The man with the scar came over and spoke to me

Fifty years old huh… ? This is probably the oldest I’ve met in this world

“With this, therein the forest”

“That’s rightThis is the fourth time we’ve let this happenI’ve confirPerhaps it could possibly be because of their territory being taken away, forcing them here”

“I’vewith us about 10 veteran adventurers to investigate, but how ?”

“For those strong enough for the investigation, there are 4 I can take”

“… Then thatI don’t belong here

Why was I kept here for anyways?

“… There’s actually an e her voice slightly, Doris said so to me

Honestly, I wanted to level up a bitproblem like this then I really have no choice but to listen

After a while, Ruben looked over to me and explained the situation

“To tell you the truth, you’ve been noationThis issue is from the turns defence so most of the responsibility lies on us… It’d help us a lot if you were to also participate”

Well, I didn’t plan on refusing to begin with

Eive to adventurers based on their levelThere’s a huge penalty in rejecting one

“Besides, you’ve already beaten them twice nowWith erous for you”

“As for the guild, for the sake of opening the rock fields again we are hoping you would also accept the request… ”

In the end, after a long while in listening on their discussion, I accepted it

~ Adventurer’s life Day 9 Morning ~ Southeast of Coe

“Mhht now, there’s nothing forthis request, we’re supposed to defend against any invasion of forest wolfthe novice adventurers and the townspeople safe

When we gather at the guild in the o out to the rocky area, and froth

I’m by myself apparently

It seeo from here

I don’t really want my skeletons to be seen by other adventurers since they draw too much attention, so I won’t summon them now

I can summon them immediately at anytime anyways, so there’s no probleency request is of course defending Co adventurers… In Comes, there’s hardly any adventurers that are at leastsystem)Not to mention the area they wish to cover is quite wide too, so we’re all spread out

(… And even then, this is the first time I’ve ever done this… )

It would’ve been fine if I could hunt so bored, but in order for me to properly keep watch, that is not allowed

If there’s a situation where you’d be attacked by one, you can give it a serious wound so that it runs away, but if you were to kill it then the reill be split between all the participating adventurers

I guess the rule’s there to discourage people like me to just hunt the entire ti was a strong monster from the forest that’s not a wolf, ere told to split where one will re while the others attack the strayan eye on the forest, I wondered what I should do with the reward for the wolf fro my skeletons equipment? Or maybe I should spend it on some better tools? It’s there a way toti of that, I went to think about soa lookout, but today there doesn’t seen of forest wolves where I’ot on top of a boulder and took out a stone from my pocket to kill some time

I remembered they used spherical stones for western catapults and slings

It’s probably because itit stronger… Well in any case, I have way too

For the tiht as well try this out

I took out another stone and ai the first stone down, I struck it witha strong response, a chunk of the rock ca and rebounded off my head

(… Seriously, that hurt… )

It’s power is like chipping the rock with a powered tool

Then again the accuracy ay off the mark there

The corner I wanted to cut had been cut a little more than I wanted… At that ti

(Wait, if that’s the case!!!)

I take out the hunting knife froht actually be pretty du

Like peeling a potato, I held my knife to slice the skin off the rock only with a bit more force

Slice!

To think it worked… the blade passed through the rock and cut a thin portion offCo it with the rock from before, it’s clear I have more control here and can cut it to however I wish

(… In other words, this is also one of those skillsThis is ih the knife had just cut stone, I can’t see any da the durability is probably also part of the skill

This is just like what happened with the bone daggerNo doubt, this must be because of the sculptor protection

(… Oops, shouldn’t be slacking off here)

If I were to have uard down and the ht, I’d be pretty dejected

I have to be on alert orking

~ Adventurer’s life Day 9 Noon ~ Southeast of Coe

As usual nothing happened, and I htly distorted but have a much better spherical shape than they were before

In addition to that, I also put some dimples to theolf ball, and froht distance of the ball increases with it

As an amateur at this, I don’t kno many dimples and their size are required, but I’ll try to test it out

For the sake of testing, half of these were made without dimples

After I made my 21st… they finally appeared

“It’s here! The Forest Wolves! Three of thee co on ht away though, so I’ll just check the situation in case they need soroup had about 10 people, but about 2 people have already been taken dohile another 2 people were struggling against one

The rest of the chased around like being tackled on their waist and such

Wait this looks pretty bad!

“Hey, let’s back then up!”

When three coins thrown into the air, three skeletons appear running alongside rappling with the adventurer in front of you! Make sure not to injure him!)

(Skeletons B and C surround the other forest wolves!)

Since skeleton A had the better equipment, whether it’ll be able to win or not in the end, it should still be able to handle the forest wolf on its own

I doubt B and C would be able to do ether they should be able to keep the other wolves in check

“Uwa! What are the things!”

“Hiiii!!”

I probably should’ve infor…

“Don’t attack them! They’re allies!”

I took a stance to throwI aiht on top of an adventurer

(If I were to grab it’s attention, then that adventurer there should be able to take a breather)

I took out a dihtly smaller than that of a tennis ball, but it is considerably heavier than a baseballIf it hits, it should be able to deal a considerable a toothe throw, I felt a strange power from the stone I threw, and before I was able to wonder what it was, it sunk straight into the wolf’s head

(… … !!)

A small spray of blood ca, the neck seemed to have snapped and the wolf laid flat on the adventurer

That was completely unexpected and I stood still for a bit, but I immediately looked around to see the situation of others

The situation made a complete reversalThe adventurer as under that forest wolf earlier, got up and i

Since it’s also skeleton A’s target, it’s two against one there

The last forest wolf is surrounded by adventurers along with skeletons B and C

See a number of wounds itself, the forest wolf doesn’t see as well as it was before

Once more I take out another dimpled stone fro around a lotwhere skeleton A…

Ah… Skeleton A just struck it’s head… is it dead?

Because of its situation, being surrounded by skeletons B, C and adventurers, the wolf uess this would happen, after all being surrounded by arh strength to fight against the rest itself…

Without hesitation, I threw the stone at the escaping forest wolf

I only planned to strike its body to slow it down, but as it looked back it made a direct hit to it’s head instead

… Before I could even rejoice, a light enveloped ht after…

I really feel like I ht die one day from this…

“Aha!… you really saved us there… “

An adventurer with a stubble, who is about twice ave me his thanks… Seems like people call him MrWolf…

It’s the adventurer that was pinned under the wolf and he seemed to be the most experienced adventurer here

He doesn’t even seem to have any injuries even after all that… pretty iround

There were bite s, while the rehtly injured, but none of those had any major injuries

“By the way, you seeht now?”

“… Yeah, my muscles just feel a little sore”

“Aha, don’t push yourself!”

I was seriously anxious about giving an explanation about that

Luckily, it seems that other people can’t see the aura when I level up

From Mr Wolf’s response, there doesn’t see up in this world

“First of all, let’s wash the wounds of the people woundedSorry, but do you mind if ere to also borrow your water?”

“Sure, I don’t roup here see while the treat on

I wanted to do it too but,

“Nah it’s fine, instead can you keep an eye out for us? That’d really help us out here…”

Well, I don’taround e boulder about 50one?”

“Isn’t he right over there under the rock’s shadow? His skeletons are keeping an eye out over there”

Oh shoot, the others are starting to find things suspicious here

I just have to pour the potion into the bamboo and… done!

Behind the boulder, there were some materials for the potion there, so I tried to hideone

I went back to theot a considerable increase to , but I still have quite a lot left compared to before

“Ah, you caot I had a potion withon the injured people please”

Like as if it was there fro

” Eh… “

Please don’t stare at me like that

After a short pause, Mr Wolf timidly asks me

“Is it really fine? Isn’t this expensive?”

“It’s fine, it’s better to use it here now than to have it expire on et hurt anyways”

“… This is the first tiood as this”

“Just hurry up and treat it”

He see sure not to waste a single drop

Given hoas before, I doubt it’ll be enough to cure them all

I haven’t been badly injured as the ones here, and even then it hardly healed quickly

“Whoa, what is this!!!”

“I can see the wound actually healing!”

… Eh?

Ah, that’s rightSeems like that level up from earlier was from the alche skill that killed the forest wolves was an alche two of those

I re easy to level

Since I’ve levelled my alchemist, it would also mean it improves the quality of the potions I h, everyone around stared at ot this potion…
