Chapter 30: Young Tree Forest Mid-boss Battle
Chapter 30: Young Tree Forest Mid-boss Battle
After safely arriving at the Young Tree Forest, we formed a legion and all of us became ready for battle. We can't be too careful from here.
Once inside the forest, they came one after another. Goblins and wolves appeared in packs of about ten on average. Well, Gray's sign detection detects them at a distance, so they are a target for long range attacks. Even if they can get close to us, Lily, Ion, Kotetsu and Gray are all waiting. It's not going to be easy.
While watching us fight, the producers were diligently gathering materials.
"You're so used to fighting"
"Yeah, I expected a certain amount since the summoned beasts are evolving, but that's pretty impressive"
"Takuto-san, you're supposed to be a beginner, right?"
"You don't look like a beginner"
"Gray-chan, you're so cool"
Even if I was told that, it happened naturally......time passed and as I was hunting various monsters and collecting materials, Gray suddenly let out a low roar like he did with Gerbera Grow. The place where the boss was must still be far away, but if Gray is alert, there is no doubt.
"Everyone, be on the alert. Gray's on the lookout for something"
"Is it the boss?"
"I thought I saw him further back......"
"Gaaa!"
Gray roars. At the same time, Konoha went to the sky. Then the enemy appeared.
"Gaaaaaa!"
I'm not sure if this is......a wolf walking on two legs or not......but my identification skill will tell me what it is.
Wolfman?
Mid-boss Subjugation Target Active
So this is the Wolfman! And he's a mid-boss? The reaction of the female producers who saw the wolfman was the same.
""""Gross!!""""
If I had to describe this Wolfman in words, I'd say he's a thin, macho, hairy big guy. He has a large amount of chest hair on his muscular chest plate. It can't be helped if he is said to be gross.
"Wooo"
Wolfman shouts. I feel a deep sadness.
"I sympathize with this guy"
"Yes"
""Gross!""
Lilly and Ion. Don't chase. I think a man's HP drops to zero when a little girl says that to him. Ah? Is it easier if you can beat this guy with that? That's what I was thinking, but it wasn't that simple. Wolves appeared from the forest. There were more than 20 of them? And we're completely surrounded. This is a pinch.
"This guy is mentally strong......"
"He's a brave man who doesn't wear underwear"
Yes......this werewolf is not wearing pants or underwear. By the way, there seems to be no man, so it seems safe.
"Hey! Don't say anything strange!"
"Dont look"
"Noisy!"
Ruin-san has been staring at me......I'm sorry.
"There's nowhere to run for now. Crow, you play the tank role"
"I don't have a shield!?"
"You're the only vanguard, so you have no choice!"
People call it a sacrifice. However, as long as they're behind him, Ruin-san and the others will be fine. I have to follow here. Originally it was a request for an escort.
"Gray, Kotetsu, follow Ruin-san and the others. Kotetsu, you take the back and Gray, you take the left and right, though it will be difficult"
The two of them nodded at my instructions and Kotetsu went behind Ruin-san, while Gray followed him. Now, let's decide what we're going to do.
"Lily, reduce the number of wolves. Ion, you follow Lily"
"All right! Takuto"
"What do we do about the big one?"
"Just ignore it for now. Just don't let the wolves get to you"
"Understood"
Ion was convinced and the first to move was Lily. She suddenly unleashed a heavy slash on the wolves to reduce their numbers. Naturally, Lily, who jumped out alone, is surrounded by the wolves.
"Wawa!?"
"Good grief......I've already told you to think ahead!"
Ion follows while complaining. I also support with Wind Cutter, Earth Shot and Aqua Ball.
And now that I'm alone, I'm naturally attacked from behind, but I kick one of them away and punch the other one that attacked me. Unfortunately, the initial skill has a short recovery time. However, I wasn't even able to defeat them with blows.
Ruin-san and the others were also attacked, but Crow-san's hammer struck one of the wolves. But in the meantime, the wolves were closing in on Ruin-san and the others, but Gray followed up. It's terrible even though they defeated one wolf.
In the back of Ruin's group, Kotetsu was working hard. He wipes out the wolves that come at him with a series of tiger punches then bites the next wolf and kills it. This is the way a tiger fights! It's just as strong as it sounds.
With the help of Ruin-san's magic, we seemed to have the upper hand, but this was a mid-boss battle. It wasn't going to be that easy. The Wolfman attacked me.
When I saw that he ignored Lily and Ion, I wondered if he understood that I was a summoner and targeted me.
"Takuto, look out!"
"Takuto-san! Please run away!"
Lily and Ion made a lot of noise, but there was no way to escape. Then there's no choice but to fight. I'll go for a Defense Down while there's still distance between us. If I'm attacked, I'll probably die anyway, so there's no point in Attack Down. So I choose to go for Defense Down. The Defense Down is applied, but Wolfman's claws close in without regard to that. I backstep and dodge.
As I duck, a wolf comes after me, but I counter and punch it away. It's so annoying.
Wolfman attacks me with its other claw, but I backstep and duck. But my back hits a tree. Seeing that I have nowhere to run, Wolfman uses its skill.
Here we go. Wolfman stiffens for a moment as it activates its skill. That's fatal in close combat.
"Front kick!"
My front kick critically hits Wolfman in the side. Then, without thinking, Wolfman looks down and the skill is canceled. And Wolfman goes stiff. This was confirmed in the battle between Lily and Ion. I challenge it to a fight. If this continues, I'll win.
But then the first thing happens. Wolfman's eyes glow suspiciously red. Something's coming!
"Something's coming! Everyone takes defensive positions!"
Ruin-san shouts, but it's too late.
"Wooooooooo!!!"
Wolfman shouts loudly and I almost prevent my ears from hearing it, but I can't move my body......what is it?
When I looked at the status screen, I was in an abnormal state that I had seen. This is paralysis!?
Moreover, Ruin-san, the others and Lily were paralyzed. Dangerous! At this rate, we would be annihilated.
Wolfman used its claw skill with a smile on its face as if it was sure of victory.
I laughed when I saw that scene.
It's a shame......I can see it. I can see that some of my party members didn't get paralyzed!
"Hoo!"
An icicle hits Wolfman in the face from above. Wolfman is surprised by the unexpected attack. Furthermore, another icicle falls from the sky aiming at Wolfman's face. Wolfman is irresistible and defends with both hands.
It was Konoha who attacked it. Konoha, who had been watching from the sky, was out of the range of Wolfman's skills and was safe. And thanks to Konoha's stalling, the paralysis was lifted and I was able to move. A chance to win! Is it okay to protect only the face? The proud belly is away, right?
"Front kick!"
My front kick hits Wolfman in the stomach and it faints in agony. Is that okay? There's a girl behind it who's got more offense than I can handle.
"Lilly, please!"
"I got it, Takuto! Fighting spirit!"
Lily uses her fighting spirit and with her strength further increased, she uses her favorite move.
"Heavy Slash!"
Dogoooooooon!!
The Wolfman blows off and crashes into a big tree. The tree makes a cracking sound and falls towards Wolfman. ......This is terrible.
"Not yet?"
Lily asks the wolves while dusting off her aura. How did it sound to the wolves? It was the voice of a benevolent angel or the ultimatum of a god of destruction. The wolves shook their heads in unison and fled at once into the forest. And then the info flows.

Even so, there is too much info!
