"Gaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"

Hungry augers trying to climb a cliff get caught in a collapse.

Hungry augers are not weak monsters that die as much as a cliff, but it is enough if they can do some damage and stop.

The timing of the explosions has been adjusted so that the landslide can crush the exit of the Hungry Ogre.

Now, there is no escape.

"Frame Circle"

Hungry augers who lost their escape have been burned by the Flame Circle.

With just two Flame Circles and one Small Explosion, seven Hungry Ogres have been defeated.

However, on the way, I was worried.

"Is it harder than before?"

The Hungry Ogre I beat yesterday was a bit stronger than the BBO Hungry Ogre.

If that's the case, I can understand the difference between BBO and this world.

But-today's Hungry Ogre was even stronger than yesterday.

How much damage an attack does to a hungry auger can be determined by getting used to BBO.

From that sensation ... HP of Hungry Ogre today is about 5% higher than Hungry Ogre yesterday.

Speaking of 5%, it's 5% ... The question is why the monster suddenly became stronger.

The demon does not become stronger from nothing.

There must be a reason to be stronger.

"... I think the probable cause is a large-scale magic ... otherwise, it's a" strengthened "monster."

There are many ways to strengthen humans, but not so many ways to strengthen demons.

Common patterns include the large-scale magic "Enhancement of Magical Saturation" that strengthens surrounding demons, and the presence of demons that strengthen surrounding demons.

It's probably a monster this time, as you'll know immediately if something like “magical saturation woes” is happening.

However, the only skill that can enhance nearby demons is the boss-grade demons.

If there are such monsters in this area ... two bosses will be in this area together with the King Ogre.

If so, it's an abnormal situation.

Normally, only one boss monster can be found in one area.

The only time two bosses appear at the same time is when there is "artificial interference".

This is ... it's getting really suspicious.

But what I need to do now is the same.

Just kill as many hungry augers as you can and reduce the number.

And defeat the boss-King Ogre.

That's what I need to do now.

Even if someone has a side spear, I still want King Ogre's Stone of Wisdom.

Also, defeating the demon can interfere with those who have created two bosses in the area.

"Well, let's do it."

I said so and went out looking for the next monster.

There are still many terrains available.

Let's hunt more and more.

Then a few hours later.

I hunted until I ran out of MPs and came back to Elias.

But ... somehow, the city looks strange.

There are more people in the city than usual.

Everyone in the city has an anxious look.

Through such a city, I head for the guild.

The branch chief stood in front of the entrance.

"Eldo!"

Looking at my face, the chief immediately spoke.

From his expression ... it looks like something bad happened.

"... what happened? I hunted the Hungry Ogre."

"... Thank you .... I mean, haven't you beat the Emperor Ogre?"

"Emperor augers are not monsters that can be hunted in the meantime .... Did it happen in an incident related to the emperor augers?"

Given the number of Hungry Ogres in the forest, under normal circumstances the boss in Elias Forest is definitely a King Ogre.

But ... if two bosses are in the Elias Forest and are strengthening the Hungry Ogre ... the story is a bit different.

"It's more about the abandonment of the city, rather than emperor augers ..."

"Did you not have enough subjugation?"

Certainly, the criterion for deciding whether or not a city would retreat would have been the number of demons defeated.

Did the number of hungry augers moved ahead of time fall short?

With that in mind, the chief opened his mouth recklessly.
