V4C96 (1/2)

(096) Repel the approaching monsters!

Translator: Tseirp

I changed Carol’s job to Temptress.

The pheromones released by her rode the winds and headed to the north.

The smell would not reach immediately.

I wanted to blow it over instantly with Wind Magic but if I used my wind blade 「Wind」 poorly, I might end up dispersing Carol’s pheromones.

There’s no other choice but to wait patiently. The wind direction was correct.

I’ve also changed my jobs to my magic-based jobs including my Apprentice Magician job that I had already reached max level for.

Jobless, Apprentice Magician, Magician, Apprentice Practitioner and Practitioner.

My MP also rose dramatically.

… Eh?

When I looked to my side, Haru was acting strangely.

She was looking up at the north sky for some reason.

Is there something there? Just when I had that thought,

“Ichino, they’re coming!”

Marina called out.

The monsters that were advancing to the east all turned to our direction together.

It’s a success.

Carol’s 「Captivating Powder of the Night II」 showed its effect.

The battle starts from now.

“Master!”

Haru called out.

“Yeah, the battle is starting! Haru, lend ― ”

“It’s not that, there are bats flying in the north sky.”

“Bats?”

I looked at the north sky as I was told.

I couldn’t see them.

I totally couldn’t see anything.

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even see the figures of the torch bearers, there’s no way I could see the figures of bats.

“Haru, I’ll take note of the presence of bats. I’ll be careful of attacks from the sky.”

” … The bats have left towards the northwest sky.”

They’ve left?

If they’ve left then it wouldn’t really be a problem?

“Monsters that are resistant to Carol’s ability … perhaps …”

Haru was hesitating as if she was thinking of some possibility.

“Perhaps?”

“Nothing, sorry, I’ll focus on the battle in front of us now for today.”

Haru lowered her gaze and stared at the looming monster herd.

The monsters have drawn closer.

A gray panther-like monster was charging over at the forefront.

“All right, let’s go! 「Fire」!”

The fireball I released fell within the monster herd and exploded. The herd was flocking over so I would hit no matter where I shoot. It wasn’t that different altogether from a bonus stage.

The next to take action was Marina.

She held the bow up and drew the string.

When she did that, it created the shape of a wind arrow.

The instant she released the string, the 5 wind arrows accurately hit the heads of the dark hairy cattle-like monsters running behind the panther.

“Marina, they all hit between the eyebrows.”

Not only did they all hit, they all even hit between the eyebrows?

“Of course. I’ll be troubled if you underestimate my ability.”

The cattle-like monsters that had arrows pierced between their brows disappeared.

“The monsters disappeared? Are they labyrinth monsters?”

“That seems to be the case, they dropped magic stones, 「Slash」!”

The 「Slash」 Haru released bisected the legs of the panther running ahead.

It didn’t disappear perhaps because it did not die. That panther became an obstacle that caused the movements of the front line to falter.

After that, Haru continued to sever the monsters’ legs with 「Slash」 as if to build a barrier of monsters.

All right, maybe I’ll mimic her too?

I aimed for the legs of the largest monster,

“「Slash」!”

and released a 「Slash」. It cut through the nose and face of the largest black elephant-like monster at the back and it died.

“As expected of master!”
