"Death Worms..!!
As soon as Mitchell and Renda came out they shouted to see the Monster that is currently faced by Argus and Lisa.
Death Worms are worm-type monsters that like to live in rocky mountains. They are Rank B monsters and they like to eat metal seeds, especially precious metals like black iron, adamantium and mithril.
That's why they have exoskeletons or layers of outer skin that are quite hard, and usually won't even be scratched with a sword.
Moreover, in addition to their large size, they are also often when looking for prey they prefer to flock, This is what makes many people afraid of Death Worms. Usually if there was one Death Worms, there would definitely be others around and the number alone could reach ten.
In addition, they also have the ability to dive in the ground like in the Water. This makes them very difficult to conquer.
Many caravans and pedestrians have become prey. But usually they rarely appear on this road, and more often appear in the upper area of the cliff. It was also what made the journey other than this road extremely dangerous.
The percentage to meet Death Worms on this street can be said to be one to ten, so the case this time is completely beyond the expectations of Mitchell and Renda.
When Mitchell and Renda saw Argus and Lisa's fighting style, they thought Lisa was Archer and Argus was a warior or figter type.
But a moment later they began to doubt it. Because they saw Argus also use Earth magic to remove many Death Worms.
Moreover, when he saw Argus also using a sword to cut the Death Worms, it really made both of them do not know what kind of job Argus currently has.
Physical strength that exceeds the warrior job, Mage-like magic, and sword skills like a swordsman..?
This completely overturns their common sense about one's Job. There has never been anyone who has been able to use abilities other than the unique abilities of each Job.

Meanwhile on the side of Argus and Lisa.
Lisa's arrow attack was unable to scratch those Death Worms. Argus tries to destroy their outer shell with his fist and lets Lisa end them with her arrow.
"Lisa, I'll try to destroy their outer shell. And try to find the part I attack later.. " Say Argus
"Emmm.. I understand master.. " Answer Lisa
But what Argus did not expect was one direct blow to destroy the Worms' death.
"Dam.. I still can't control my powers properly.. " Murm Argus
Seeing the worms still coming out of the ground made Argus impatient. He then used earth magic to make shocks or earthquakes to get the worms out.
And as a result, the worms began to come out of the ground shortly after Argus used his magic. Not wanting to delay any more, Argus took out his katana and began cutting the worms.
Argus attacks are like people dancing among Death Worms, beautiful but deadly.
Each slash will have one worm cut into two pieces. The Argus attack looks very easy, but for others it is impossible.
To just injure Death Worms alone takes a lot of effort, what else to directly cut them like that.
Moreover, it smashed the outer shell of those Death Worms with its bare hands just like Argus did. It's like an impossible thing.
Because the violence of the Exoskeleton Death Worms itself is the same as the hardness of Black Iron. Metal imitation of Adamantium. So it's very impossible to do den
It didn't take long for Argus to kill all the Death Worms that appeared there. There were a total of eleven death Worms attacking them and all of them had currently been killed all of them.

Meanwhile, Mitchell who saw all those Death Worms had died by Argus could only sigh in relief.
Then he approached Argus who currently seemed to be still observing the Death Worms.
"Sorry, do you mind if we buy material from this monster..? " Task Mitchell
"Ehh...? Is there any part that can be utilized from this monster..? " Tanya Argus was curious.
Because what Argus saw was just a worm monster, no bones and meat was soft.. And even his teeth even though many of them are small.
"Yes.. The outer skin can be used to make a nice lightweight protective suit." Lace Remark
"It is similar to leather Armor, flexible comfortable yet harder and stronger than other leather materials. "
"Right, so we intend to turn it into an Armor for adventurers.. " Say Mitchell
"Yes no problem anyway.. Besides this thing is completely useless to me, there is no meat to be used from it.. " Say Argus while looking at the mud-like flesh in front of him.
"Thank you.. Lace, quickly call Nari and start skinning these Death Worms.. " Mitchell said to Lace
"Ready.. " Say Renda immediately ran to call Nari and began to prepare the tools needed.
"Mr Argus, I'm really sorry about this.. " Suddenly Mitchell apologizes to Argus for what Argus did not know.
"For what..? There seems to be nothing to forgive, right..? " Tell Argus
"Actually I know the reason the Death Worms attacked us..
They were actually attracted by the smell of one of the materials we were carrying. The mithril seed.. " Said Mitchell.
"Wait.. Does that mean they came here because they could smell the Mithril you brought..? " Tell Argus
"really.. This was also the reason we found no other adventurers willing to take us along other than the adventurers we used to hire. "
"They were all afraid of the risk of these Death Worms.. Because after all this was only Quest Rank C for escorts, so the risk was not worth the reward..
So we're really sorry for involving you and your family" Mitchell said
"No.. No. gabe.. That's not what I mean, I'm not at all concerned that you're hiding this from us.. I'm only interested in the abilities of these monsters.. " Said Argus
"But... "
"But why Mr. Argus..? " Task Mitchell
"No. Forgetit.. " Said Argus
"Do I have to eat this mud-like meat..?? Damnit.. I don't like the shape at all.. " Murm Argus
Argus was actually interested in the ability to sense iron or other metals from these Monster Death Worms. But considering there is no meat to eat, Argus eliminates that desire.
Since the meat was really disgusting to Argus, it resembled slime (Monster Slime) or some kind of mud.. Argus can't figure out how to cook it, even more so it's a Worm monster..
In the end Argus disappeared his interest from the meat of this monster even though his ability is quite interesting.
After that Argus was quite interested in the way Lenda and Nari took material from the monster.
They started from the monster's wounds, and started burning the inside of the monster's body. And it turned out that the monster's flesh after being hit by the fire would instantly melt like water. It surprised Argus.
Although the outside is quite hard, the meat is very susceptible to fire. But when he asked Mitchell if burning the Death Worms was the best way to defeat them. The answer is not either.
The hot temperature could indeed melt the flesh, but that in the case of Death Worms it was dead. If it was a living monster, they would have no fear of fire at all.
Because after all, sometimes they will dive close to the magma when looking for metal to eat.
Instead they would be afraid of Water-type magic.. Their bodies would harden if exposed to the Rays of water, and that would make it easier to defeat the Death Worms.
But using water magic or low temperature it will affect the quality of the skin as well, because the skin exposed to water will become more brittle and more rigid is not elastic anymore.
Because it is also a lot of adventurers who refuse to conquer the Death Worms, besides being difficult to conquer the material is also very rare that can still be utilized.
So conquering Death Worms was tantamount to taking on jobs without any additional bonuses, and there were also rarely any Death Worms subjugation Quests as they also did not benefit from it.
That's why, when seeing the condition of the death Worms who are still in good condition makes Mitchell a little excited.
After watching for a while, Argus then returned to his tent. Yes, even though Argus actually went into his Dimension Home.
There Argus then made two pocket watches that will be given to Mitchell later. Since this was the second time Argus had made the clock, it didn't take long for him to make two pieces this time.
But Argus did not intend to give the clock Saku immediately, and intended to give it later when he arrived in the city of Taito.
Because he didn't want to let anyone know that he could easily make it.
In addition to those two hours, Argus also made two for Lisa and Eve. It was a model for women with manufacturing materials using Mithril materials.
And Argus also gave a simple rune so that these two clocks would only be able to use Lisa and Eve. Because Argus doesn't want his prize stolen by anyone.
This clock will be destroyed if used by someone other than them.
After finishing making the clock, Argus came out and saw that Mitchell and the others were almost done taking care of all the materials from the Death Worms.
Argus waited for a while before suggesting that they start their journey again, but on this trip Argus told Mitchell the material he would get into the carriage and start making the Clock.
Argus also said that he would try to finish as soon as possible before arriving in the city.
Argus said that all the ingredients are actually almost ready and just stay put together and make some other preparations, so it does not require a complicated and difficult process like forging again.
Mitchell understood and considered that making the two hours must have taken some time and was very difficult unlike the argus statement which seemed very easy, so he did not bother Argus anymore and let him in the carriage.
And here Mitchell also chose to walk in front of the Argus carriages to keep an eye out for no one to bother Argus.
Although Argus has said that it is not necessary, Mitchell still insists on this and says that.
"At least let us keep an eye on the surroundings, so you can focus on your work. After all, this is all we can do for you.. "
So Argus finally allowed Mitchell to do what he wanted and not forbid it anymore.
As the day approaches nightfall, Mitchell suggests taking a break first because he considers nighttime travel too dangerous.
Mitchell only talks to Alfred for fear of disturbing Argus. And he also set up the tent a little further for fear of disturbing Argus in his work.
Argus also didn't get out of the carriage because he had to pretend he was still working on the clock for Mitchell, and just let Lisa and Alfred outside. He played with Eve in her Dimension Home.
Not to forget Argus also told the ants to keep watch around and told them to observe the surrounding environment. Argus is quite curious about the uniqueness of animals or monsters in this area and hopes to find monsters that have abilities similar to previous Death Worms.
But the results make Argus quite disappointed, the article that is around there are only small monsters such as insects and scorpions like the like that do not have the ability like death Worms.
Mostly only poison-type monsters appeared in this cliff area. So after that Argus just decided to take a break with the others that night. And get ready for the trip tomorrow morning again.
