Chapter 23 – You don’t mind if I defeated it right? (2/2)

The mining thing that was making her make such an expression, I became interested in it.

☆

The three of us jumped to the grasslands where mountain cows inhabit, and walked towards a rocky mountain.

「The Orycudite is, the name of a magical ore that can be mined in that mountain」

「Magical? You mean that’s an ore made out of magic?」

「In that mountain, there lives a monster called Orycuto, and that monster is always leaking out a special magic power. A special magic power that most of it would exist as a solid. That magic power makes the rocks nearby its nest coated in it and dried, coated and dried. The thing called Orycudite is made by that, coating by hundreds, thousands of layers.」

「I have seen it before」

Helen said that and continued.

「The Orycuto releases different magic powers in each day, so the coated layers has a beautiful pattern that is similar to that of a rainbow. If I remember correctly it was very beautiful, and mystical」

「I see」

I somehow imagined it. From the explanation, maybe it looks like the tree’s age ring made colorful.

「Is it that expensive?」

「Yes, for its beauty of course, I heard that the difficulty of mining it is very high」

「Honestly, this Orycuto is immortal」

「Immortal?!!」

I was surprised from that word.

「Not only that it’s very strong, but it will recover instantly from any attack. The only weakness is lightning. It will stop for a while if it receives Lightning Magic」

「I see, stop its movements and while it isn’t moving, work hard mining Orycudite, it means. Then, the reason why Andreu told us that, was because Io is with us huh」

「Yes. It seems that he knew that I can use Lightning Magic, so. In a party without anyone who could use Lightning party, it is being said that it was like going to a suicide」

That much huh.

I know what is being told. In joining a party and defeating a strong enemy, finding members, equipment that is fit for the job is normal.

In the case of the monster called Orycuto, Lightning Magic would be the first priority.

「I got it. Then if we encounter it I will stop it at its feet, and while I do that Io should start chanting your Lightning Magic」

「Yes」

While the vanguard is stopping the enemy, the magician attacks its weakness with magic.

It’s an orthodox way to fight, so Io answered promptly without hesitance.

「Then, Helen should hold this」

I took out Magic Ball(Black) from my pocket, and gave it to Helen.

「This is?」

「It’s an attack item. If you throw it, it will activate. Helen should decide when to use it」

「I understand」

「And also, can you do the mining」

「Yes」

After having a brief meeting, we started climbing the rocky mountain.

When I noticed, there was a strange aura enveloping around us.

It looks like a weird vivid green……It’s a strange aura, nothing happens even if you touch it or inhale it.

「Is this it? The Orycuto’s aura」

「Probably」

Io nodded. After advancing furthermore, it was clear that the stone walls changed.

As an analogy, if it was bare rocks until now, the place where at looked like coats of paint were layered there.

“Is it here”ーーWhen I was thinking of that it appeared.

「It’s the Orycuto!!」

Io shouted.

「Yosh, let’s go!」

I gripped Eleanor, and jumped towards the Orycuto.

I glimpsed at the two girls.

Their eyes were, showing that they trust me completely.

「Eleanor」

『What?』

「We’re going to defeat it, lend me your strength!!」

If they are trusting meーーI want to answer to them.
