Episode 33.1 (1/2)
”Huh? Where are we going again.”
”A common variant room.”
”Isn't it time for us to go back already today?”
”No. Got an itch to fight some common variants.”
Arios looked reluctant, but Lecan paid him no mind and got in an inner passage close by.
Arios went after him.
Lecan was a bit surprised when his <3D Perceptions> showed the magic beasts.
”Oh? One got a spear and the other a bow.”
”Bow? That's a first in this dungeon. Or more like, I've never seen a magic beast carrying a bow around before. Have you Lecan-dono?”
”No. It's a first for me too.”
”Hope it drops a nice bow, that would make for a nice present for Eda-san.”
”Or I might claim it for myself.”
”Yes, yes.”
Lecan kneaded his mana for <Barrier>, and stepped in the room once he was ready.
He was about to recite <Barrier> spell as he got through the entrance.
But the enemy was faster.
Five thin dark red light magic projectiles assaulted Lecan, and got repelled by <Necklace of Intuador>. However, the attack managed to disturb Lecan's concentration, misfiring the <Barrier> he had recited.
The spear magic beast had charged out the instance Lecan got through the entrance. It's right in front of him already. Lecan narrowly managed to draw his sword.
(
!)
He thrust out his sword as he shouted in his head. A thrusting attack that makes use of the enemy's charging momentum is the only choice he's got in this situation. He twisted his upper half as he thrust forward to push it deeper.
The enemy's spear was aimed right at his heart. But due to Lecan twisting his body, the spear tip only cut through the surface of his light armor to the right.
Then, Lecan's
pierced through the beast's neck, bone guard and all.
”Uwoooh.”
He swung his sword to the side, tearing off the enemy's neck.
At that point, Arios who rushed out ahead of Lecan for some reason, had also just lopped the bow beast's head off.
”Arios. You saved me. Why'd you get in ahead?”
”I just felt like that would have been for the best.”
Two treasure chests got dropped, with a spear and a bow inside.
”<Appraisal>!”

<Spawn Spot: Dungeon Tsubolt Floor 120>
<Maker:>
The result was a bit lacking since Lecan hadn't really used Appraisal on this type of item much, but he should get the gist right.
The size is between medium to large bow.
About double the size of <Bow of Ishia> given to Eda.
It's solidly built with a thick string.
Lecan took a stance with the bow, aiming at the wall.
It's not heavy.
Even light for its size.
