“Kisaaaaa!”
"Night, it's coming your way!"
"Woof! Gaaaah!”
We are currently fighting a monster called Wraith in another world. It looked like a skeleton ghost, and although horror wasn't my forte, it wasn't too bad that would make me sit back and just watch, I could fight it.
Because it was called a ghost, its body was transparent and the physical attacks could not penetrate at all. Night's claw attacks and bites were cancelled entirely. However [Omni-Sword]and the [Absolute Spear] that sage-san left behind were able to deal damage without paying any attention to the spirit body, so it did not harm us too much. Moreover, the strategy of using newly enhanced magic was also effective against the Wraith, so Night also actively participated in the attack.
Even now, Night made compressed water appear in his mouth and fired it at Wraith like a laser. But Wraith also knew that it would receive damage from magic, so she dodged the attack just in time.
“Your opponent is not just Night!”
“Kisha!”
I approached Wraith, who showed a gap after dodging Night's attack, and swung my [Omni-Sword] at her neck joint. [Omni-Sword] slashed Wraith's head without feeling any resistance. And Wraith disappeared as a particle of light.
“Fiuh... I am still not used to fighting while using magic effectively.”
"Woof."
This time, Night used magic the entire time when he learned that the physical attack was not working. Therefore, it was not a problem for him, but I was very inexperienced enough to fight with a mixture of [Omni-Sword] attacks and magic attacks.
I will definitely continue to use only one method of battle. Well, I will make sure to ponder it at home or some other quiet place, then I go to pick up the drop item, but there is only one S-rank magic stone that fell.
“Eee? Even though we defeated him with great difficulty, the only thing we got was a magic stone..well, I think it's strange that a ghost holds something, but I'm still a little surprised.”.
"Wool…"
Disappointed, I looked up at the sky. Right now, I am trying to gain a lot of battle experience in this other world, just like I did in the previous Wraith battle.
On Earth, preparations were underway for the ball game, but I had to go to the royal capital as soon as possible in this other world as well, so I trained in case of an emergency.
I'm already more used to fighting using [Omni-Sword] and [Absolute Spear] compared to the start. However, I still have more to do by blending it well with magic, so I fought together with Night taking that into consideration.
After finishing school today, I also finished my preparations and reviews at home and took a walk. Then I hid in another world all the time, so I noticed that the sky was dark and full of stars.
“...The sky is very clean in this world. To be able to see the stars so close.”.
"Woof."
This may be the familiar night sky for the Night, though, but it is an amazing thing that is not so familiar to me because there are certain things that have been lost to humanity in exchange for development on Earth.
“….”
While looking up at the sky, I suddenly thought back to the battle we have been doing so far.
“Can I become stronger myself even further..?”
"Woof?"
Night tilted his head at my mutter. I was able to deal damage in today's battle against the Wraith with just magic, but I don't know the combination of magic and weapons in battle. Besides the fact that I only inherited magic from sage-san, I also did my own style of weaponry by reading books.
...Maybe I should take a proper lesson from somewhere. While thinking about this, since I have to go to school tomorrow, I decided to continue exploring a bit before heading home. So we started exploring again.
...************************************************...
I've been thinking about this ever since I left Lexia-san and the others, but since it was certain that I would go to the royal palace in the future, I thought I should be more prepared, I think, so I started to do it. More battles and basic physical and muscle training to protect Night and Akatsuki so we could stay anywhere without any problems.
And the next time I see Lexia-san and Luna again, I want to show them how much I have grown, even if only a little. Since I postponed the visit to the royal capital for that reason, I want to do my best for it. And since I couldn't hope to grow up near my house these days, I decided to take Night and Akatsuki and go deeper into the forest.
"Oh? Somehow the atmosphere has changed..”
"Woof?"
As we left the house and went deeper into the forest, the atmosphere around us suddenly changed. Instead, the trees growing around us suddenly changed appearance. They were once ordinary trees, but now the trees that grow around us somehow darken, with completely black leaves. What's with these trees?
When I accidentally activated the [Identification] skill and saw it, it was displayed as follows:
[Black Hard Tree]: A very hard black tree. A mere strike or impact would not destroy it or even scratch it. The vegetation area was shrouded in mystery, and as an extremely valuable material, he could make a lot of money at auctions. It was impossible to cut down or process them without using [Spirit Magic] elves or the dwarves' secret techniques.
It was an amazing tree. Instead, the area of vegetation was shrouded in mystery, and it was said to be precious, but there was so much in front of me, you know? What's up with this situation?
Well, the people who could come casually to the deepest part of this forest were probably only at the level of sage-san, so it was no wonder that they were unknown. Considering the danger level of the monsters we have encountered so far; I don't think it's worth coming and collecting them. One can indeed build a house from solid wood, but it does not have to be this wood to build a great house.
And the elves? And dwarves? It seemed that the only way to cut and process it was with their techniques, and that made it even harder to handle.
“Nigth, Akatsuki. Although we've been careful up until now, it's only going to be more dangerous from now on, so let's be more careful. ”
"Woof."
“Fugo.”
They did not speak too loudly; both answered in small voices. Hmm... I myself cannot cut it down, but these trees are quite disturbing. I don't know how it will affect me in battle. But, assuming I was attacked, blown up, and slammed into this tree, I would most likely still receive a lot of damage.
As I proceeded carefully while activating the [Asimilation] skill for a while, I found the first monster of the day.
If I'm going to describe the person, maybe wild boar is the right word to use. But it was about the size of a medium-sized truck, with two sharp fangs extending from its lower jaw. Moreover, his body was glowing silvery-white, and nothing looked like body hair.
It looks like a boar, but... what is it? This fellow. I immediately activated the [Identification] skill .
[Pig Mithril]
Level: 10
Magic: 1000
Attack: 40,000
Agility: 30,000
Intelligence: 2000
Luck: 500
Expertise: [Filling] [Iron Wall] [Magic Reflection] [Super Olfactory Instrument]
Waita minute. What's with that status? Why at level 10 with 50,000 defenses and 40,000 attack power? Moreover, the [Magic Reflection] skill .. doesn't that mean that magic attacks won't work?
I was also curious about the word mithril in his name?
Just as I was shocked by his chaotic status, Mithril Boar suddenly started to move his nose in agitation. As we tilted our heads, Mithril Boar, who should not have noticed us before, suddenly turned his gaze towards us!
How did he find us? …Could it be because of the skill called [Super Sense of Smell] ?
“Eh?”
"Woof!"
“Buhi!”
We were surprised by our sudden presence being revealed, and then the shock outside of it attacked us. Mithril Boar took a step forward and attacked us at high speed.
Although it did not run from a long distance, its charge was so strong that it was far beyond my ability to recognize it. By the time I felt it had charged at us, it was already right in front of me.
As a result, I could not avoid it, and I was blown away by the overwhelming momentum. With that momentum, I crashed into the Black Hard Tree with my back and ended up unable to move.
“Gah!”
“W-guk!”
“Fugo!”
"D-don't come!"
Night and Akatsuki tried to rush towards me as I was blown away, but I stopped them.
Because──.
“Buhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
The scream was so loud and powerful that it could not be compared to Akatsuki. And once again, my body was easily flown by Mithril Boar.
“Guh!”
Even though I managed to take a defensive stance on the second strike, its strength was incredible. Even if I was wearing armor, a huge impact hit my entire body. I managed to take a short pause and hurriedly drank [Complete Herbal Recovery Juice], but.
Because, I still can't see the Mithril Boar attack. When I noticed, I was fascinated. It's okay because I can defend against it now and still have [Complete Recovery Herbal Juice], but that's not limited either. If I missed a bit of defense or was not given time to recover, I would be hit straight away.
Indeed, I could fight around the house without any problems.but I did not expect to find a dangerous opponent…! I thought to myself that I could defeat an S-class monster and that I would be fine, but that was just my arrogance and silly arrogance.
No part of my current status exceeds 10,000. However I felt as if I was directly reminded that I could cross with an S-class monster because of the sage-san weapon.
J-if it continues like this…
“... Night, Akatusuki. Run from here now.”
"woof!"
“Buhi!”
Both Night and Akatsuki shook their heads in shock at my words. But I can't bring both of them into this situation. This was the result of me subconsciously being arrogant and misjudging the difference in strength.
Still, to let the two of them escape, I can't just die right away. And while holding a powerful mind that was about to disintegrate and desperately looked at Mithril Boar.
(I'll help you.)
“Eh?”
Vibrations of air spread around me with loud explosions, echoing in the depths of my stomach. And then I happened to capture the identity of the voice with my eyes. Something as white as Night's black feathers and Akatsuki's red feathers blasted Mithril Boar from the side.
The white creature that appeared out of nowhere, attacked the Mithril Boar with incredible speed, spun several times in the air, and landed brilliantly.
Actual identity is──.
"A rabbit?"
(Yes, rabbit.)
What a cute little rabbit. The rabbit, which was covered in pure white body fur, looked towards us who were shocked and immediately turned his attention back to Mithril Boar. When I also saw Mithril Boar, Mithril Boar spewed blood from his large and furious nose and mouth.
“Bubibiiiiiiiii!”
(Don't?)
However, the rabbit in front of me stared at him undaunted and deftly stood on tiptoes with one leg and slowly raised the other leg.
And then──.
(You're very noisy.)
Once again, the entire forest air shook with a loud bang. I don't know what is going on, but the place where Mithril Boar was just a moment ago was covered in blood and red flesh, and nothing else.
Moreover, the black hard tree, which should have been described as incorruptible by an ordinary strike or impact, broke about a dozen meters and flew, and where it took root, the ground had been scratched. gone as if it had been gouged out by something.
Night, Akatsuki and I watched the scene in a daze.
(What a small fry.)
Unlike us, the rabbit stood on both feet normally, snorting in a dull manner.
