72 Episode 72: Mimic Hunting and Enhanced Cheat Skills (1/2)
My head is a treasure chest, stick human.
That was the first feeling I had when I saw Mimic raw.
The chest, which is the face, has eyes and sharp fangs. The body and hands and feet are tentacles as thin as bars. It was an odd monster.
And not by what I see - quick.
”HEEEEEEEEE!!
A mimic bouncing off the floor and sticking to the wall makes a strange laugh while slowly jumping around the room. I thought so.
”Ugh!?
He jumped in here abruptly. They attack with a big mouth wide open.
”Hey!
Release the kick reflexively. Crate - that is, I kicked up the lower part of my face. Critical hit.
”Baba!?
Mimic with a big mouth shut and blowing straight up. I rebuilt my posture cleverly in the air, and my eyes looked at me again - already then, jumping, I had taken up the chase.
”Let it go!
Back spinning kick as it spins - whirlwind legs came in nicely.
”Babba, babba, babba, bah!?
Mimic getting kicked in the air with an odd voice. Cancer, cancer, and rolled all over the room, crashing into the wall and stopping.
”Phew...”
Take the structure of remnants.
It's an attack leveled with the Dragon Strike Dragonic Power. If you're a twelve-tier monster, it's not weird that you're dead with the first kick...
”Babby Babby Babby............ Hyahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
Mimic stood up again, laughing,
”Hyaha! Hyaha!...................................................................................................................................................
It became fog and disappeared. Looks like he knocked it down.
”You were a loud guy...”
”And you were so fast... I wonder if I can magically guess...”
”If you have to, why don't you blow up every room with explosive magic?
”Huh yeah!? It's not safe for us!
”This room probably won't collapse. Besides, can't the blast be prevented in the protective space Safefield? Is that supposed to prevent flames, snowstorms, braces?”
”Oh, shit! Rakun, wow!
Usually this kind of flash is more of a prine, but she doesn't have many savage ideas like smashing buildings. It's sweet.
”Whatever you want, just let it go. Mimic's gonna blow up, too.”
”... hmm. I don't think I can do that.”
”To? Why?
”Let's just shoot, shall we?
”Ooh. Please.”
I'll try to put it into practice while I decide I can't. This is the good thing about Prine, and it's what I like.
Well, maybe it's just to explain to me.
”- Protective space” Sayfield ”
Following the voice of the sorcerer, a bond was erected around us. It's a hemispherical wall of light.
”Ra-kun, close your eyes, your ears are blocked, your mouth is open.”
”Copy that. Are you all right?
”Yeah. Because I have magic tolerance”
Subsequently, Prine chants more spells.
Just in case I get distracted and create a position where I can protect Prine. [M]
”- It's a very small white room that rebels, contracts, freezes. Burn, destroy, enclose, release, ashes and return.”
The magic vegetarian causes the wind, stirring her cloak. The owl's scepter was directed towards the five remaining chests and emitted light.
”The Big Bang Light” Explodio!
Closed my eyes, blocked my ears, and it still sounds like an awesome explosion. It's like being slapped in the stomach.
There's an explosion right in front of you that could easily wipe out one of the cities. Naturally. You made an asshole suggestion while I was at it, I think a little bit.
The blast and vibration also subsided, and I opened my eyes.
”............... are you serious?”
It was a sight that hasn't changed before me whining. [M] There is not one scratch on the room that is part of the dungeon. I know that, but it stayed that way until the crate.
”Whatever the real thing is, Mimic's a monster, right? Why...?
”Uh,”
And, Dr. Prine, who unleashed the explosion magic, lectures me.
”The mimic here is not only shaped like a figure, it's simulated from the concept of a 'chest'. That's why the dungeon is deceived, and Mimic has the magic of” non-interference. ”
”Concepts…?
”To put it plainly, you see, we have a status too, don't we? It says human in the race section, doesn't it?
”Oh.”
”I think Mimic has changed it from a 'monster' to a 'chest'.”
”Can you do that...”
”If I could open the chest, I'd be able to solve the simulation. But until then, it's a treasure chest, so the attack won't pass. The treasure chest appraisal” Treasure Judge ”can spot that simulation as well...”
”I can't use it because of the devil. Oh, boy.”
Sighing, I stroked Prine's head.
”Thank you, Prine. Thanks to you, I'm smart again.”
”Eh heh! I'm so glad Ra-kun compliments me!
Gyu, and Mr. Prine, who comes with you.
He's smart but honest like a child. When this gap is irresistibly cute, I think again as a lover.
I looked back at the intact chest.
”Well, let's restart Mimic Roulette again.”
”Now I hope you win a real chest -!
There are five chests left.
What I just opened was the chest in front of me. Illustrated,
○ ○ ○
○ × ○
And this is what it looks like. The one where x was mimic.
”Prine, let's junk. If I win, the right row. If you win, the left row. If it's an icon, it's the middle row.”
”Yes! Sounds like a giant!
”I won. Column to the right. Here we go, one more time. In front of me if I win. I'll open the chest in the back if you win.”
”Jahn, it looks like it!
”Now Prine wins. That means opening the chest in the back right. All right?”
”Yes!”
I opened it.
”HEEEEEEEEE!!
”... damn it”
”Ahhh.”
Mimic sticking to the ceiling with a laugh.
Auxiliary magic hasn't expired yet. I tell her as I step out in front of the prine.
”Blow it off, Prine!
”Yes! - Ah,”
Prine, who perceived something, hastened to cast the magic. Ice Pickle. The 'fastest coming out and more aggressive' magic as it stands, capable of single-handedly attacking without a spell chant. Ice thorns flew to Mimic and froze his hands. But not instant death. He's still alive, and...
”... death curse... hate jealousy... not to bear the sickness of darkness... stop breathing...”
I turned away from the noise earlier, and began to bump and cast spells.
”I can't stop you - no, Ra-kun, close your ears!
”... crap...?
”Ra-kun!
My hands and feet become paralyzed and my chest becomes painful.
Prine's judgment was not a mistake. If you insist, it's my mistake not to let you do a powerful spell chant beforehand.
As a result, I am under a magical and invisible attack.
- I can't breathe... I can't...!?
