"Mia, use your spirit magic to illuminate when I give you a signal…"
"Lina fired a firebolt recklessly at Maze Cockroaches as Mia unleashed her magic…"
"I'll separate the Maze Cockroaches from the explorers while equalizing the timings from the firebolt impact, so Tiane and Ciel will have to attack every Maze Cockroaches, okay…"
"Secilia san, shouldn't we call them before we light up the hall…?"
Tiane raised his hand lightly, and gave a suggestion…
Thatvs right…
"We don't want them to think of us as Lost Thieves and attack us after we have trouble saving them…"
"You're right…"
"I trust calling them to Tiane…"
"Mia had to use her magic once Tiane signaled to her after she made sure that the other party had acknowledged…"
"Lina, I'm sorry, but after the first magic, don't use your magic again, too, abstain from using space magic…"
"Totona too, since the magic gun is so striking, please use only nature magic at this time…"
"Cronoa, you're with me guarding the back here…"
"I'm not satisfied with the anger, so I complain…"
Unfortunately, Cronoa had to survive his shield duty…
After all, Cronoa and I shouldn't be in the labyrinth…
I waited until everyone gave their consent, and the strategy began…
Maze Cockroaches surrounded the explorers in the hall where they were…
We're right on the side of the Maze Cockroaches to start the attack…
"We…"
"We'll help…!"
"Ohh... You're very helpful…!"
"If we survive, I'll treat you all to the bar…!"
I thought that they would refuse, but the leader seemed to immediately acknowledge our help…
They must be very cornered…
First, the light ball of spirit magic Mia illuminated the battlefield from the ceiling…
In a short time, the explosion from Lina's firebolt occurred in the center of the Maze Cockroaches…
The Maze Cockroaches that were instantly hit were scattered and the surrounding Maze Cockroaches also caught fire…
I slipped my [Magic Hand] in the explosion and threw the Maze Cockroaches from the explorers to a place a bit far away from them…
"Super, disgusting…"
"Manuu…"
I understand how Lina and Mia feel…
I also agree…
I didn't think that they would float in the air and start flying…
As expected of Maze Cockroaches…
The three girls attacked on the battlefield while leaving a trail of red light from the magic edge…
It was a step stepping on one side…
The entire health Maze Cockroaches disappeared with a single blow from the magic sword Ciel…
Doeble magic sword Tiane and Lina stepped on one side reducing the health of the Maze Cockroaches with a slash strike…
Although their health had been reduced by Lina's firebolt, it still lingered…
Lina was quite capable in switching from a witch to a swordman…
As for, I slashed Maze Cockroaches on the ground with magic edge and shot Maze Cockroaches that flew with magic edge cannon…
He is the embodiment of the one hit kill…
"Unbelievably, they slashed the hard shell like it was nothing…"
"Currently, I can do that too if I have a gun…"
"Must ~ il…"
"My mantis sword is also magic sword, but as you can see what happens…"
I heard voices from other parties with Attentive Ears skill…
I had limited the course of the Maze Cockroaches, so that only as much as they could cope approached them, so they now had room to converse…
Guessing from their conversation, it seemed that the weapon of the monster part that leader shi used was the magic sword…
I didn't notice because it didn't have any traces of red light…
Since it looks like it is made from a mantis-type monster, I will try to create the same thing when I spare…
The vanguard wasn't the only one who was great, the rear guard, Mia and the others as well…
"Yahaha…!"
"Maze Cockroaches it like garbage ~ instead of ~ greasy insects like them, well burned ~ now, once again…"
"I'll do it again with Fire Circle this time…"
Lina's tension is dangerous…
Nevertheless, it seems that he still has his remaining sense for chanting magic properly and not regarding the girls and other party members in his magic…
Fire and a flashy fireball Lina stood out, but Totona's [Force Spear (Javelin)] also continued to kill Maze Cockroaches…
Since Totona's magic power isn't as much as Lian and Tiane's, every time her MP is reduced, I make her stop beside me and I use [Magic Power Transfer] to charge her MP…
Mia walks in the room that the girls and Lina have opened and begins to heal the explorers there…
Unlike me and Lina or Tiane, Mia could not see the status of the explorers, so I used [Telephone] to direct him to people who needed to be cast with [Clear Poison] or [Water Heal]…
"My wound is gone… "
"Ohh.. My wounds are healed, I can keep fighting now…"
"What is this, I can feel my hands and feet again being numb…"
"Me too…"
"Thank you witch girl…!"
Mia wore her hood so the explorers seemed unaware that she was an elf, but as they were able to immediately distinguish her body, they seemed to interpret her as a girl or perhaps a child…
I can't see it from here, but I clearly understand that Mia nodded while feeling embarrassed…
Charming san from the [Beautiful Wings] party seemed to have gotten a direct hit from the Maze Cockroaches, his upper body being hit by a huge wound…
Mia was going to cure him with magic, but they seemed to have used their clothes as bandages, the top of their body was exposed, it had become a sight for the eyes…
Mia seemed to have given them the coat and shirt I had given Mia before…
They were just cheap items I bought from Seryuu city back then, but it might be better than wearing nothing…
With Mia's magic, the explorers who could not fight, returned to the battlefield bit by bit…
Thanks to that, the battle there became stable…
In that case, the extermination of the Maze Cockroaches seems to be entering the end of the game…
The explorers with insufficient levels also cooperated in groups and managed to defeat one Maze Cockroaches…
Some of them began to chat aimlessly while fighting…
"Besso shit, what a good hunting ground of this kind…"
"Saying that Maze Cockroaches came out alone here so we could safely hunt him, damn him…"
I see, I thought that Besso had drawn a flock to them, but they were brought by his persuasion, yes…
"I thought I'd die when so many of them came…"
"We owe it to them, yes…"
I'm relieved that they don't hold strange grudges like taking their prey or something…
Mia has returned…
"Hey hey, the leader there said that many Maze Cockroaches usually don't come out around this area…"
"He said…"
"It seems so…"
While checking the surrounding area and the corridor with the map, I replenished his magic power…
Lina repeatedly said [Flag]…
And, according to Lina's request, a big game is coming…
"Lina, I guess, the Gushing Hole will appear on the deepest wall from my point of view in 4-5 minutes…"
Okay, okay, with "Flag, it's here!", just listen to me…
"This is『Hunter Mantis』…"
"This is a level 35 strong-type mantis monster, so be careful…"
"Okay, I'll tell Tiane..."
"Mrs…"
While leaving the few remaining Maze Cockroaches on the explorers, Lina and the others prepared to intercept the expected point of the Gushing Hole…
Everyone seemed to have drunk stamina and healing potions because their gauge variations had all recovered to their full potential…
Cronoa and I moved to get close to Lina and the others in the shade of darkness…
The Hunter Mantis that emerged from the gushing hole was quite large…
Its overall height is 5 meters, about as tall as a two-story building…
Twice as tall as Soldier Mantis…
It's a little Kaijuu, isn't it…
Unlike normal mantis, this one has a pair of sickle arms on each side and 10 feet…
While thinking so, I used [Magic Hand] to prevent the Gushing Hole from closing…
As expected, it will not close as long as there is some kind of obstacle…
Upon seeing the huge body, the explorers rushed towards the exit of the hall where we had just entered in a hurry…
It didn't seem to be a panic as leader shi over there instructed them out loud…
The explorers had evacuated to the border of the main corridor, but some high-leveled people looked over here…
It seems that they intend to help if things become dangerous, but it seems like they understand that they will only hinder us, they are unlikely to participate at this moment…
"Lina, Tiane, this time Cronoa didn't participate…"
"Notice to stay away from the rear guard…"
"Don't worry…"
"Rober…!"
But they leapt back to dodge the massive attack on the scythe of the Hunter Mantis…
With the Flickering Movement skill, Tiane and Lina dodged the foot of the Hunter Mantis that was trampling from above…
Tiane tried to intercept the foot of the Hunter Mantis stepping on his magic spear but as expected, it seemed like it was impossible…
The leg seemed to have been damaged, but Tiane's plan to pull out his leg did not materialize…
"It won't be found from this distance, so it's okay for me to mix some space magic into it, right…?"
"Master, give it allow you to let me participate…"
I agree with Lina's wishes…
I also let the bored looking Cronoa attack from behind Totona's back…
They use the same nature magic so they may not be exposed…
Other than having a hard body, the height of the Hunter Mantis meant that only Lina's magic and spear could reach it, so they were struggling hard…
Tiane and Ciel were about to climb the foot of the Hunter Mantis, but they were kicked, knocking them to the ground…
It was rare for Tiane to receive a direct attack…
"Second ouch…"
"The mantis is childish though big…!"
Yup, they're not hurt…
Their defense has been strengthened…
They would be severely injured if they were directly hit by a huge scythe as expected, but they seemed to be fine if it was just a kick…
Ciel had placed his guard face during the battle so that I could not see his expression, but his large body gesture was enough to transmit his anger…
This time Lina pierced the magic spear from under the stomach of the Hunter Mantis, but because her stomach was as hard as her shell was not like a normal mantis, it was not much felt…
Since it made him angry like with the monsters in the game, I felt it was better for him to aim elsewhere…
"Flame "
The flame that emerged from the spirit magic Mia burned the Hunter Mantis…
It looks like he has resistance to it, not much damage…
However, it seemed hot, Hunter Mantis opened the back shell and spread its wings, threatening us…
"Lina"
"Tiane!"
The two who had sheathed their swords and spears would do something behind the Hunter Mantis…
Tiabe rushed to Lina who had been crouching while dropping her hands Jump…!
Combining Lina's throwing power and Tiane's jumping power, Tiane landed nicely on the Hunter Mantis' back…
Tama pulls her doeble sword and stabs the helpless back of Hunter Mantis with them…
Hunter Mantis closed the back shell in a panic, but it was a bad move as it only made the doeble sword Tiane sink further…
Utilizing the spilled blood, Mia used her [Balloon] magic to open the back shell…
Tiane was thrown into the air, but it was fine as he deftly caught the back shell in the air…
The helpless back immediately fell prey to my [Space Destruction (Smasher)] magic and Lina's Magic Edge Cannon which quickly reduced the health of Hunter Mantis…
At this time, one of the back shells can no longer close, perhaps the tendon to open and close it is cut…
The physically strengthened Cronoa quietly threw Lina to the back…
After the edge dance of Lina and Tiane, the Hunter Mantis finally used all of its strength and fell to the ground…
"Great victory…"
Tiane and Lina raised their victorious cries behind the Hunter Mantis…
I could hear the cries of joy from distant explorers…
Since I won't be able to collect the remains of the Hunter Mantis like this, I used [Magic Hand] to move it like a puppet to the outside of the Gushing Hole that I left open…
I gathered the remaining Hunter Mantis to my storage in an unseen place…
I told Ciel the plan to come out with [Telephone], he would tell the explorers at my place…
I also explained the plan to everyone…
"We're going after Hunter Mantis who has escaped…!"
"We won't be back here, so please return to Selbira without waiting for us…!"
After we all entered the Gushing Hole, I closed the Gushing Hole behind…
There was no Sign Monument here, so we drove through a narrow corridor with the help of the light Mia had made…
I have confirmed on the map that this has become a shortcut to the new hunting grounds…
There are many enemies, but they are all small fry, so we might arrive sooner than planned…
