「Right here it comes!」

Roxanne’s voice resounds in my ears.

Orange magic circle seems below a Grass Bee within the second row of enemies, indicating that it was about to launch one in every of its Expertise, and since it’s too removed from any of us to succeed in it in time, even Sherry received’t be capable of cancel the activation of that Ability with the 「Chant Interruption」 that has been not too long ago added to her Metal Spear.

The Grass Bee completed the activation of its Ability and launched its toxic needles in the direction of us from a distance, however Roxanne stood of their means and blocked all of them together with her Metal Defend, stopping them from hurting and poisoning any of us.

Virtually on the similar time, a Hat Bat and a Bitch Butterfly launched their assaults on Roxanne from two completely different sides.

Roxanne will get on her left foot and maneuvers her higher half of her physique to dodge a physique slam of the Bitch Butterfly, concurrently swaying her head to dodge the surging sweep from a Hat Bat. So there’s additionally such an elaborate strategy to dodge the assaults of multiple enemy directly, huh? For me, doing one thing like that will be inconceivable, regardless of how laborious I’d’ve tried or skilled to emulate even the only of Roxanne’s actions.

What I can do, nevertheless, is launching a 「Breeze Ball」 in the direction of the enemies from behind Roxanne’s again. That’s the fifth one which I launched all through the period of this battle. The our bodies of the monsters that obtained hit by it stumble below the violent gusts of wind. When the Bitch Butterfly regains its steadiness, it launches one other assault on Roxanne, and she or he parries it together with her protect and twists her physique to dodge the Hat Bat and its continued onrush of direct assaults.

Whereas dodging, she hits it together with her rapier whereas I forged a sixth Spell. Within the meantime, an orange magic circle seems below the Bitch Butterfly which Sherry was at the moment confronting. Sherry pokes it together with her Metal Spear in response, interrupting the chanting course of.

Miria receives the assault of a Grass Bee together with her personal Metal Defend and slashes it together with her Scimitar. Roxanne aspect steps one other assault of the Bitch Butterfly, and after she efficiently evaded one other one of many Hat Bat’s assaults with ease, I invoked a 「Breeze Storm」, the seventh Spell utilized by me on this one battle.

Two Bitch Butterflies, two Grass Bees and a Hat Bat drop down onto the bottom the place all of them flip into puffs of inexperienced smoke and disappear.

「Ugh, I knew that the sixteenth ground was going to be a troublesome one, however I by no means anticipated that it’s going to be that robust.」

Though I’ve obtained the Duke’s permission to remain within the Labyrinth’s aside from those on the territory of Hartz Duchy in the interim, it doesn’t change the truth that the battles on the sixteenth ground of Quratar’s Labyrinth are positively getting harder than the battles on the earlier flooring.

Roxanne is ready to, as all the time, dodge just about each assault that’s coming her means completely with out breaking as a lot as a sweat, however for the opposite three of us who can not hope to be nearly as good at dodging as she is, the issue spike was slightly harsh, however I suppose this can’t be helped since we’ve already cleared the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth flooring and left them behind. Proper now, that is the place we’re going to be searching, so we’ve to get used to and adapt to the monsters which might be prowling the halls of this ground and their power if we need to survive and reap as a lot of the rewards that this ground may be having in retailer for us.

One factor that I do need to admit, is that if it weren’t for Roxanne holding the frontline by dodging the assaults of each monster that was coming to get her, then Sherry, Miria and I’d’ve been worn out way back for positive.

「By no means, grasp. I really feel like this isn’t that troublesome simply but.」

Uhm, Roxanne, excuse me? That was not all that troublesome for you? Effectively, I do perceive the place she’s coming from with this, however nonetheless, to be claiming that the sixteenth ground shouldn’t be all that troublesome after witnessing how the remainder of the Celebration struggled in opposition to the mobs right here, Roxanne is really one thing else, and she or he’s as terrifying as ever besides!

If there’s one saving grace in our present state of affairs, it must be the truth that the vast majority of the monsters that seem right here on the sixteenth ground are those which might be weak to Wind Magic, so on the very least I don’t have to modify between various kinds of magic all that a lot if I need to be constantly hitting their weaknesses. However as soon as once more, that’s because of Roxanne and her superb sense of scent enabling us to go looking just for the sorts of monsters which might be weak to Wind Magic in order that we wouldn’t have to fret concerning the ones who’re weak to anything apart from Wind Magic.

「I’m not getting myself uncovered to successive assaults all that a lot, which implies that I can maintain fairly effectively alone for fairly an extended whereas. In comparison with the same old requirements of the Labyrinths, the battles that we’re going via proper now are usually not fairly as heated as they could possibly be getting. If I needed to describe how they really feel to me proper now, then I suppose I must say heat at greatest.」

If even Sherry says so, then I suppose that must be true in spite of everything, and it simply proves how highly effective of an individual Sherry really is. Like I believed, individuals of this world are simply not those who would go and act cautiously if it meant doing something for longer than it must be achieved, however on the similar time, when Roxanne is aggroing all the monsters that we’re preventing from the entrance and middle, it actually implies that Miria and Sherry can take issues just a bit bit simpler on the edges of the formation.

「We’re going to be advantageous, grasp. As a result of we’ve Large Sister right here with us.」

See, even Miria is conscious of how vital to our well-being and the convenience of preventing Roxanne actually is.

「Sure, it’s all because of Roxanne certainly.」

「By no means. It’s as a result of grasp takes all of the monsters out together with his magic.」

Roxanne nonetheless tried to redirect many of the reward in the direction of me, which was extremely candy of her, however she shouldn’t be underestimating her personal position in making that battles simpler for the remainder of the Celebration.

「Alright then, as a result of I’ll be utilizing my sword subsequent, I would like you to go and discover us a gaggle that’ll have fewer enemies in it, okay?」

After searching on sixteenth ground, my Explorer job has leveled as much as Lv.39, and since I’ve yet one more Bonus Level to spend, I can lastly use it to do away with the 「Chant Shortening」 Bonus Ability that I wanted to have outfitted in the interim and substitute it with its superior model, 「Chant Omission」. I may choose a Fourth Job Bonus Ability, which is able to lastly enable me to return again to a few of my earlier settings. Oh 「Chant Omission」, oh 「Fourth Job」, how I missed you. It feels actually nice to be having the each of you again with me. You being again with me implies that I’ll not need to shout the names of the Spells each time I’ll be utilizing them, lastly stopping Roxanne, Sherry and Miria to have a look at me like I’m a hopeless center schooler stricken with incurable Chuunibyo.

For the following few battles, I used to be preventing the monsters with Durandal with a view to get again all the MP that I’ve spent on casting Spells because of Durandal’s 「MP Restoration」 Ability. Alongside the way in which, we encountered a gaggle made out of 4 Bitch Butterflies and a Grass Bees.

That mixture of monsters is probably the most troublesome on your entire sixteenth ground of Quratar’s Labyrinth to battle in opposition to…. Nope.

Nope. Essentially the most troublesome mixture can be that of monsters that are weak in opposition to Wind Magic and carnivorous crops that are weak in opposition to Fireplace Magic, however we’re managing to remain on prime of them as a result of regardless of who we’re preventing in opposition to, Roxanne is all the time able to dodging their assaults with ease.
