We now have discovered the Boss Room of the thirteenth ground of Haruba’s labyrinth moderately shortly.
Now that Miria was finished serving to the neighbors with the regional actions, we may as soon as once more focus totally on the exploration of the Labyrinths, which straight translated itself into us discovering the ready room earlier than the Ground Boss exceedingly shortly.
At first, I assumed that this was going to be simply one other small room like many others, however as quickly because the door opened and we walked inside I instantly understood that this was the Ready Room, as a result of as an alternative of a number of branching paths there have been solely two ready for us: the one via which we got here right here from, and the one main ahead straight to the Boss Room.
「The Ground Boss must be proper forward of us. Sherry, what’s the Ground Boss of the thirteenth ground of Haruba’s Labyrinth?」
「The Ground Boss of this ground the place the Pig Hogs are the primary enemy known as Choose Hog, and customarily talking, Choose Hogs are similar to upgraded variations of Pig Hogs, which signifies that they’re a very powerful monsters that primarily assault their prey by utilizing their entrance hooves. I feel that together with her dodging skills Miss Roxanne ought to nonetheless be okay whereas combating it, however simply to be on the secure aspect, it’s best to be certain that to stay as cautious as potential.」
After Sherry completed her explanations, the door within the again opened, so I brandished Durandal and gave the order to hurry inside.
「The three of you deal with Choose Hog, I’ll deal with Grass Bee.」
「「「Okay, grasp!」」」
The monster accompanying the Ground Boss was a Grass Bee, so I want to complete it off as shortly as potential to make sure that none of us goes to get poisoned like I did earlier than.
I completed it off as shortly as I may, after which I joined in on the assault on Choose Hog.
Choose Hog is the Ground Boss of the thirteenth ground. As such, it’s at the least one dimension larger than the common Pig Hog, with one main distinction: its entrance hooves had been very paying homage to drills or cones, which is sensible of what Sherry was saying about its main technique of assault. If an everyday human had been to obtain a strike from these issues, then absolutely they might inflict quite a bit if injury upon them.
And so, the Choose Hog stood on its hind hooves whereas elevating the entrance ones into the air and it began to maneuver ahead whereas aiming its strikes in the direction of Roxanne. That technique of assault is terribly just like what boars in my outdated world was once doing to compensate for his or her brief legs. However that makes me surprise: if that’s its main technique of assault, then is it actually okay for me to not lend the women a hand in combating it?
Such ideas had been speeding via my head proper now.
The Choose Hog made one other assault in the direction of Roxanne, however she simply prevented it with none difficulties in any respect.
As anticipated of Roxanne. There’s no means {that a} easy assault like that will ever be capable to trigger any sort of hurt to her. Alternatively, if I used to be the one standing in her place, then I absolutely would have been hit by that assault even when I attempted to dodge out of its means.
Nicely, there may be nonetheless a risk that one or two assaults could be directed my means, as a result of simply because I’m standing within the backline casting my magic, there’s no assure that I’ll by no means be attacked just because I’m standing somewhat bit farther away from the enemies than the remainder of my Social gathering.
That’s the reason although I’m holding Durandal in my fingers, I nonetheless be certain that to slash on the Choose Hog extraordinarily cautiously. A cautious statement revealed that solely the entrance hooves of the Choose Hog had been sharp, so al lengthy as we ensure that the brunt of its consideration is targeted on Roxanne and Roxanne solely, then we shouldn’t have any bother bringing it down with our coordinated assault.
Maybe it was precisely due to these cautious assaults and the utmost quantity of warning that we maintained, however we managed to wrap the battle towards the Choose Hog up with none of us getting injured and with none unlucky accidents occurring alongside the best way.
Nicely, we have now already managed to defeat the Ground Bosses as much as the fifteenth ground of Quratar’s Labyrinth, so I assume that will clarify why a Ground Boss of the thirteenth ground right here in Haruba’s Labyrinth would pose no menace for us.
「Sherry, what sort of monster can we count on on the fourteenth ground of Haruba’s Labyrinth?」
「It’s going to be Sarracenia.」
Sarracenia, huh?
The weak point of Sarracenia, which is principally a carnivorous plant-type monster, is Fireplace Magic.
We then proceeded additional to the fourteenth ground beneath Roxanne’s cautious steering.
After killing Sarracenia with 5 「Fireplace Storms」, I then killed the remaining Pig Hogs with 5 extra 「Water Balls」.
Subsequent, we combat towards a bunch of three several types of monsters. Initially, I killed the 2 Sarracenias utilizing 5 「Fireplace Storms」.
After that, I end one Grass Bee utilizing 5 「Breeze Storms」, after which I slaughter the remaining Pig Hog with a single 「Water Ball」. 9 assaults in complete to defeat a bunch of 4 enemies, huh?
「Hmm… Although there have been three varieties of monsters, I wanted one additional spell to be able to end them off, assuming that I didn’t make any errors in my calculations. All proper then. Roxanne, attempt to information us in the direction of a bunch consisting of three several types of monsters subsequent.」
「Understood, grasp.」
I instructed Roxanne with particular set of pointers, and he or she did precisely like I advised her. Though the period of the battles obtained barely longer as soon as extra, it’s not one thing that’s going to hinder our plans of combating on the fourteenth ground of Haruba’s Labyrinth.
At any time when we’re combating towards a bunch of monsters consisting of just one enemy, I can cope with that group by utilizing the AoE magic of the sort that mentioned monsters are weak towards and it normally takes me about 5 Spells to take action. And even when some enemies handle to outlive my assaults, Roxanne and the others must be greater than sufficient to dispatch any stragglers which might be going to be left.
That’s the best technique for clearing the flooring of the Labyrinths: each time we’re combating a bunch of monsters, you all the time go at first for these monsters whose numbers are highest, and then you definitely transfer on to filter those that stay. And as a rule of thumb, each time we’re going through Grass Bees or different enemies which have entry to both long-ranged Expertise or standing ailments-inflicting assaults, these ones must be defeated ASAP.
All of it sounds tough and complex, however so long as we strategy these battles rigorously and with consideration, we can combat these enemies correctly. And in addition to, it’s not like we are able to keep away from it solely, so the most effective factor that we are able to do is to grit our tooth and simply get it over with as quick as potential.
Now that we had been in a position to efficiently clear the fourteenth ground of Haruba’s Labyrinth, we determined to go to Bode’s Labyrinth within the afternoon to be able to change issues up somewhat bit and maintain them from turning into repetitive.
Ever since I gotten permission from the Duke to assist them Discover and filter the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy, I’ve made certain to go to Tare and Bode’s Labyrinths to be able to try if their exploration progress has modified. Even when I’m not going to these Labyrinths, protecting the tabs on their progress is certainly factor to do. That means, I received’t be caught out of the loop in case if some substantial progress goes to be made in considered one of them.
And who is aware of, it would as nicely end up that one of many flooring that I’ve but to discover goes to be unexpectedly straightforward to beat, a lot in the identical vein because the sixteenth ground of Quratar’s Labyrinth.
「How far has the exploration progressed?」
「As much as the eleventh ground.」
The Explorer on the entrance knowledgeable me thusly once I requested him in regards to the progress of the exploration of the Labyrinth. So what I can see from that’s that the progress of the exploration of the Labyrinth of Tare is far slower compared to the progress of the exploration within the Labyrinth of Quratar.
