Chapter 299 Part 2
Umm…
Please calm down, everyone.
Anyway, now that that’s settled…
Let’s see how things are going around here.
First, let’s check our military strength.
The total strength of the Summoner army has further improved since yesterday.
This is because we’ve had an increasing number of Class Changes.
Also the number of Summoners itself has increased slightly, to 75 including me.
Some Summoners did their Class Change after the current battle, and it seems that the majority of us have already changed classes.
What is the breakdown?
20 Sages, 27 Grand Summoners, and 5 Necromancers.
Amazing!
The biggest thing is that now they can have the Summoned Monsters on them at the same time.
The total number of Summoners and Summoned Monsters is 427, which seems to be a straight 10% increase from yesterday’s military strength.
Wouldn’t it be possible for such a big army to hunt that Slave Beast – Turtlesnake and the monsters that follow it all at once?
No no, wait.
The Tri-horned Lizards are still there.
Most of the Obsidian beasts are still alive.
The number of Garms is also decreasing, but there are still a lot of them.
I think we should go back to trying to collect some items from the monster corpses here.
『I think we should be able to clear these off in two rounds!』
「Something like that, yeah.」
I start thinking as I watch the Summoners around me distributing items.
The effect of Boosted Power wears off.
Just in time.
Let;s continue adding strengthening spells to buff myself back up.
「Okay, let’s go.」
『Got it!』
『Everyone, let’s go~!』
「We can use songs too!」
『Okay!』
I know we have some mermaids around as well.
It would be difficult for monsters to escape from their singing voices.
That’s a good thing.
Pestering monsters is the best!
At Konohana’s command, the Summoners gather and form a battle line.
Then the Summoned Monsters do the same.
As our herd of horses begins to run, a flock of birds of prey in the sky leads the way.
A pack of wolves on the ground.
Among them are Werewolves and Orthros, although they are few in number.
Volff is at the lead of this pack.
Well then.
Let’s get rid of as many of the turtle’s guards as we can!
The first Tri-horned Lizard ended up exposing its side to me after being attacked by Helix.
In other words, its stomach.
Juicy.
It’s too good to pass up.
「Rider-Horse Union!」 「Boosted Power!」
Zangetsu and I turn to the offensive here.
There is no mercy.
The scenery immediately turned into clear skies, then I saw the monster I was to slaughter next.
I can always check the results later.
We then locked onto the next Tri-horned Lizard while slaughtering some Garms.
This time we took on the challenge head on.
We chipped away at the base of its right front leg.
Well, actually…
The front leg itself was torn to pieces and got sent flying away.
Whoa!
This is amazing!
I also take the front legs of the next Tri-horned Lizard.
I mean, there’s a Garm still stuck in Zangetsu’s horn.
Before I knew it…
Without thinking, I had plunged into the belly of the next Tri-horned Lizard.
I can see it clearly this time.
Pieces of meat were flying around.
This looks like a bizarre scenery straight from another dimension, doesn’t it?
「Keep going around the turtle!」
『Huh?』
『There are still a lot of monsters around, you know?』
「It doesn’t matter! I can push through them all at once!」
That’s right.
Though the only problem with that is those Tri-horned Lizards.
There are only a handful of them still following this group.
The fact that their numbers had been reduced might be the other players’ doing.
Another round.
All Tri-horned Lizards take damage from our assault.
None of them should be unharmed after it.
I want to finish them off once again while Boosted Power is still in effect.
There are way less Garms remaining now.
Time to start targeting Obsidian Beasts, okay?
「Let’s use our AoE offensive spells! We can ignore the Tri-horned Lizards!」
『Are you sure it’s okay?』
「We’ll do something about them later.」
That’s right.
We’ve got Volff and the others.
There’s also Helix and the others.
There are many of us around.
There’s no shortage of military strength.
I ended up using Boosted Power one more time.
It took us three rounds to completely wipe out the Tri-horned Lizards.
Not so bad, right?
And our next opponents are the Obsidian Beasts.
But that’s a one-sided battle, since they can’t do anything about us showering them with our AoE offensive spells from every direction.
As for me, I use the times when my Boosted Power wears off to add more buffs.
Both Volff and Helix continue to attack the Obsidian Beasts that manage to disrupt the line of battle.
They’re tough opponents, but it looks like every little bit of damage we can deal to them piles up and helps defeat them eventually.
The Obsidian Beasts are being slaughtered one after another due to the damage caused by all of our spells
It’s about time, right?
Will the Slave Beast – Turtlesnake get serious now?
「Shall we use Pitfall now?」
『Already?』
「I want to finish it off quickly. Shall we cause it to trip over its right side?」
『So on the turtle’s right legs?』
「Both of its right legs have been damaged already. Making it so that it can’t stand firmly on them will be a great help.」
『I’ll get that ready then! Please give me some time!』
I also cast my spells while listening to Haruna and Konohana give out their orders.
These spells are Lower ATK and Lower DEF, and they’re aimed at the Slave Beast – Turtlesnake.
The sooner we get that thing ready to be hunted, the better.
『Everything’s ready!』
『All good to go for next round!』
「Okay, I’ll leave the timing to you!」
『Sure!』
I have to hurry!
The turtle is starting to stretch its neck.
Its magical power is visibly increasing.
Time is of the essence.
Will I make it in time?
I pass through right under the turtle’s nose.
I’m taking a path that goes counterclockwise.
We have multiple Summoners preparing their Pitfalls!
I also tried to use Sealing to nullify its Breath attack, but…
This doesn’t seem to be working.
Still…
Lower ATK and Lower DEF are proving to be effective.
I’m hitting it with what I can.
I turn around while looking to the right for its tail.
The body of the Slave Beast – Turtlesnake tilted to the right.
It looks like it’s trying to regain his footing somehow.
I could see that part of its left hind leg had been slightly gouged, exposing the flesh.
Hmmm…
Remain self-confident!
We’ve gotten good results out of these battles.
We’ve brought others like this guy before.
We can do it again today!
「Rider-Horse Union!」 「Boosted Power!」
Zangetsu and I run as one.
We’re now aiming for the turtle’s head.
Our attack comes from the rear left as seen from the turtle’s POV.
However…
Is the turtle stretching its neck and looking towards me?
Never mind that!
Just keep pushing forward!
It’s clear skies once again.
And the corpses of Garms and Obsidian Beast lying on the ground.
I turn Zangetsu’s head to the right.
There’s nothing strange about Zangetsu’s HP bar.
It’s a series of considerably brutal attacks.
But Regenerate should still be in effect, so she should be able to disregard some of the damage.
This time, let’s change our aim from the back of the turtle’s head to the base of its throat.
Will that tear its flesh apart?
I guess it might.
But…
That’s okay!
This time I could clearly see the moment the attack hit.
Zangetsu thrusts her horn in as if striking down from above.
Did she attack like this at the same time as my jousting spear?
I was so busy with my own attack that I couldn’t see that.
Once again, the scenery ahead is a clear sky and a dead body on the ground.
But not yet.
This Slave Beast – Turtlesnake still has more than half of its HP bar left.
I will keep charging back and forth at it as many times as I want!
Still…
After two more assaults, the Slave Beast – Turtlesnake fell.
After my last attack hit its neck, it seemed that its head was on the verge of being severed.
Was it a critical hit?
That was a pretty deep cut!
『Keith!』
『There are still some monsters left!』
Oh, I see.
That’s good news.
Only the Obsidian Beasts remain.
There’s only ten of them left.
How much left do I have on this Boosted Power?
There’s just a little bit of time left.
Oma got close together with Zangetsu.
Alright.
I’m counting on you guys!
Another charge.
We also managed to kill two Obsidian beasts.
Hmm.
Finally, huh?
I ended up hurrying up to bring them down to make the best of the time I had left, but it ended up paying off in the end.
The results are extremely good.
