In truth, I feel that due to Roxanne’s efforts, I’ve but to obtain a single assault from these enemies. The rationale why I stated that 4 Bitch Butterflies are troublesome to combat in opposition to is that there’s a likelihood that simply Sherry’s Metal Spear is probably not sufficient to take care of them after they’ll begin activating their Abilities on the identical time.

Bitch Butterfly’s Ability is the one able to inflicting paralysis upon the one who’s going to be unlucky sufficient to be hit by it, so if Roxanne had been to turn into paralyzed due to such a Ability, it will result in whole collapse of any of our methods, but when they’re solely two Bitch Butterflies in a gaggle of monsters that now we have to combat, then there could be no issues in any respect. I feel that it will even be manageable for us if there have been three Bitch Butterflies as a result of that quantity looks like simply the best one for us to simply take care of, however 4 are simply an excessive amount of and past our present capabilities.

As for the Grass Bees, their greatest trigger for annoyance are their ranged assaults that they have a tendency to launch fairly from a distance the place even hitting them with my magic turns into probably problematic as an alternative of coming shut sufficient for us to take care of them with out having to sweat all the time.

When there are in a gaggle of 4 monsters, they typically type two rows.

If there are 5, one in all them does go to the second row, and after they seem within the group of 5 monsters, then it’s just about assured that a minimum of one in all them goes to maneuver to the second row the place the problem of hitting it’s going to improve even additional since its going to be shielded by its different companions, after which it’s simply going to begin capturing its poisoned needles in the direction of us like there’s no tomorrow.

And that’s the reason the teams of 4 Bitch Butterflies and 4 Grass Bees are the scariest and most troublesome to combat in opposition to right here on the sixteenth flooring.

Fortunately, even after encountering numerous Bitch Butterflies right this moment throughout our searching expedition, there was no want for us to be utilizing any Anti-Paralysis Capsules, and we completed it with none type of unlucky incidents occurring.

On the subsequent day, we entered the sixteenth flooring of Quratar’s Labyrinth as soon as extra from the early morning.

「Right here it comes!」

Roxanne gave us a warning, and instantly after she shouted it, she blocked an incoming Poison Needle shot by a Grass Bee from the second row of enemies together with her protect. Her sense of steadiness and stability are actually distinctive as nicely.

She then swiftly proceeds to stabbing the Grass Bee together with her Rapier whereas dodging physique slam of a Bitch Butterfly on the identical time! Dodging the butterfly like a butterfly. Stabbing the bee like a bee. If that’s not how being terrifyingly robust appears to be like like, then I don’t know how being terrifyingly robust ought to look anymore.

Sherry additionally evades the Bitch Butterfly’s assaults, albeit not as gratefully and simply as Roxanne did, and Miria blocks the assaults from the Grass Bees together with her protect. Whereas we’re all busy combating the monsters which are the closest to us, the Grass Bee within the second row activated its Ability once more, because it was evident by the orange magic circle lighting up beneath its physique. Roxanne, nonetheless, parries its assault with ease.

The Bitch Butterfly launches one other assault. Roxanne sways her physique evenly to the edges and dodges it with out sustaining any type of injury or coming even remotely near sustaining it.

Confronted together with her vehement resistance, the Grass Bee decides to vary its supposed goal from Roxanne to Miria. However a lot to its displeasure (if monsters may even really feel displeasure within the first place, that’s), Miria additionally managed to dodge it.

Nonetheless, the assault of the Grass Bee, which Miria managed to dodge was obtained by me who was standing straight behind her as an alternative when she moved out of the Poison Needle’s supposed trajectory. Fortunately, regardless that I’ve been hit by it straight, it doesn’t seem to be I’ve been poisoned, which should imply that this time the Gods of RNG should have been on my aspect, so I continued to fireside my Spells on the monsters in entrance of me.

Since Sherry has 「Chant Interruption」 on her Metal Spear, she’s accountable for maintaining the Bitch Butterflies from utilizing their paralysis Abilities on any of us, so she has to remain close to them and hold a watchful eye on them in case if an orange magic circle lit up below any of them, and as for Miria, she must be careful for the Grass Bee and block any of the projectiles that it’s going to be firing in the direction of us, and if she suffers successful from the opposite monsters, I first heal her wounds after which proceed to assault the monsters with my magic.

Fortunately, all 4 of us grew as much as such a stage the place we are able to afford to take two or three hits from the monsters with out worrying about our well being, however struggling any greater than that’s nonetheless going to be dangerous, so every time it’s wanted, I’ve to alternate the main focus of my actions between therapeutic and casting offensive magic till the entire monsters have lastly been slaughtered with my Wind Magic.

「I’m positive, desu!」

Miria raises her hand and stops me from utilizing any extra 「Medical Remedies」 on her, saying that she feels positive already, so I did precisely like she requested and stopped therapeutic her, after which I ask Roxanne to proceed looking for extra enemies for us to combat, and as soon as she finds them, we resume our march via the sixteenth flooring till we discover them.

There are two Bitch Butterflies and two Grass Bees within the subsequent group we encounter. Sherry comes below a Bitch Butterfly’s assault nearly as quickly because the battle begins, however she manages to do away with it swiftly earlier than it may do any type of injury to us.

After therapeutic her, I pull Durandal out and combat a portion of my subsequent battles with it. After killing two extra teams of monsters, I absolutely get well my MP once more. I may have recovered my MP a lot quicker through the use of the suitable Tablet from among the many ones that I’ve on me proper now, however on this state of affairs I really feel like doing that will be nothing however a waste.

Subsequent group of enemies that we encountered was comprised of two Bitch Butterflies, two Grass Bees and a Hat Bat.

The Hat Bat flies previous Roxanne and is heading straight in the direction of me, however fortunately for me I managed to ward it off with my Rod of Choices.

After a number of makes use of of 「Breeze Storm」, the entire monsters have been swiftly defeated and dropped all the way down to the bottom. I imagine that I’ve talked about this earlier than, however Hat Bats are an actual nuisance to combat in opposition to, particularly for somebody like me who fights within the rearguard, as a result of not like every other monster, Hat Bat oftentimes simply disregards the members of the vanguard fully and goes straight for the members of the rearguard, similar to it was doing with me proper now.

The subsequent group is made up of a single Grass Bee and 4 Bitch Butterflies. Though it’s probably the most troublesome combos of monsters attainable, I really feel quite relieved that there’s no Hat Bats amongst them, as a result of it implies that I gained’t should looking out for something that’s going to simply make a beeline in the direction of me, permitting me to focus totally on supporting the women with my magic.

The Grass Bee launches its ranged assault, and Roxanne receives it together with her protect. Her protection is impregnable, similar to that of an insurmountable iron wall, and there’s no method that such a wall goes to be destroyed by one thing so weak as Grass Bee’s ranged assault.

Bitch Butterflies additionally shut in on us. All 4 of them are lined up in a single row, aspect by aspect. Roxanne evenly dodges physique slam of one of many butterflies, after which she blocks the assault of the second together with her protect. Third one was making an attempt to activate its Ability however Sherry interrupted it with a poke of her spear.

Can we hold this up?
