V4C97 (1/2)
(097) Monster Extermination
Translator: Tseirp
Thirty minutes after I came up with a good idea, Marina and Haru were taking turns to shoot with the magic bow continuously in a dispassionate manner.
“Hey Marina, it’s about time you swap with Haru. Since Haru can use the bow too.”
“Wait a bit Ichino. That cow with a scar on its eye, it’s likely to be the cow boss. I’ll swap after I bring down that cow.”
Marina drew the bow and shot down the slightly larger cow with a scar on its eye.
Then, she passed the magic bow to Haru and substituted out.
The monsters were approaching.
Once the monsters approached up to 500 meters away,
“All right Carol, I’ll remove it.”
I altered Carol’s Temptress job to Farmer.
Since the Temptress effect was lost, the monsters headed east.
The fleet-footed monsters at the forefront tried to overtake the monsters that were at the back but they could not overtake them easily.
It was heavily congested. The monsters were extremely confused.
The arrow released by Haru struck the feet of a large-sized monster, causing it to fall in the middle of the enemy group.
That further slowed the movements of the monsters.
Then, when the monsters reached a certain distance away, I once again changed Carol’s job from Farmer to Temptress.
The monsters turned back once again.
“Haru, there are monsters coming from behind too!”
“Okay!”
Haru took out the wolf-like monsters approaching from behind with the Wind Bow.
Behind us was the upwind direction so monsters seldom came from that direction. Regardless, the occasional monsters were limited to only 1 or 2 to the maximum of 5 so we could easily deal with them.
Then, when the monsters clumped up like a dango to a certain extent,
“Alright, here I go!”
I gathered magical power in my hands.
Skill, Magical Power Boost.
It’s a skill that consumes several times the MP and requires a set amount of cast time so there aren’t many occasions where it can be used but it’s possible to use it here with this amount of time available and furthermore the monsters are even gathered in a single location.
I opened my eyes and thrust my hand out in front of me towards the center of the monster herd.
The magical power gathering in my palm increased in density to the point where it was visible to the eye.
When I confirmed that the purple aura was stained red, I cried out.
“Boooost Fireeeee!!”
【「Fire」 proficiency level rose to 2.]
The same time the proficiency up message flashed through my sight, an enormous fireball flew towards the monster herd and caused a large explosion.
And at the same time, I collapsed.
“Master!” “Ichino-sama!” “Ichino!”
The 3 of them called out to me but I laid with my forehead on the ground as I waved at them.
“I’m fine I’m fine … I just ran out of MP.”
Ah … it’s been a long time, this sense of fatigue.
However, my MP did not totally reach 0 so I could still maintain consciousness.
I sat up.
There was a crater at that spot.
About 500 meters in diameter.
Only a couple of monsters that were just barely outside of the range remained.
Those monsters were sniped by Haru’s Wind Arrows.

… Ah, Practitioner that was level 1 just moments ago had become 48 … Magician also rose to 63.
Jobless also rose until 85.
It seems possible that I might reach the peak of Jobless soon.
I want to quickly reach the peak and graduate from Jobless.
I removed Temptress from Carol’s job and I breathed out.
