V1C29 (1/2)

(029) VS Giant Skink

Translator: Tseirp

We once again descended down to the 56th-floor.

Waiting there was a large number of fish lizards that practically covered all the skinks that we should have defeated previously as well as the Giant Skink.

“I’ll start with a pre-emptive strike, 「Slash」!”

My 「Slash」using my double knife hands defeated 2 skinks and next, I tried out a trick that I had thought of just now.

“「Petite Fire」!”

That instant … a fire ball many times larger than my usual one was created.

That can no longer be considered petite! The「Petite Fire」 with that power swallowed 5 fish lizards.

“Master, that magic just now was!?”

“Don’t mind it! Focus on the battle!”

I now have another means to fight with, furthermore, to test another, I took out my sword from my item bag and jumped into the center of the skinks.

“「Rotational Slash」!”

The skilled up 「Rotational Slash」seemed to have a wider effective range and it mowed down 20 skinks in one go.

This one also had greatly increased power as expected.

Great, it’s a success.

What I was doing now was instantly switching my job to Apprentice Magician and Magician when I’m using magic and to Apprentice Swordsman and Swordsman when I’m using my sword.

I had been occasionally training to instantly change jobs but it displayed unexpected power when introduced for the first time in actual combat.

Then, I switched to my Swordsman-orientated jobs (Jobless‧Swordsman‧Apprentice Swordsman‧Pugilist‧Hunter) and slashed at the Giant Skink.

However, it fought back, repelling me with its tongue.

The other skinks were gathering at its feet.

However, it was about time.

“「Slash」!”

My sword attack … sliced off the Giant Skink’s tail.

Shit, my aim was off.

The giant tail violently jumped before it stopped moving.

Then, the Giant Skink grew a new tail.

That regeneration was quick.

The Giant Skink furiously opened its mouth wide and charged at me without caring about trampling on its companions.

… What a stupid fellow, he might have been able to narrowly escape death if he ran away.

I instantly switched to my Magician-orientated jobs (Jobless‧Commoner‧Apprentice Magician‧Magician‧Apprentice Alchemist) and laughed.

“「Petite Fire」!”

The fire ball with power that clearly greatly exceeded that of petite went into the mouth of the Giant Skink and caused an explosion.

There were flying pieces of meat … Then, the remaining fish lizards all ran away simultaneously.

I wanted to chase after them but they scrambled away like spiderlings so I decided it was better to give up.

Damn it, I should have defeated more small fry before I defeated the boss. I was having regrets.

And, what remained was the scale of the Giant Skink, giant meat and 3 pieces of Rare Medals … and also a large amount of experience points.
