Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 203: Light Stone

Kristaurus was a formidable enemy.

Even though he has a tough flesh, he even wears armor called a glowing outer shell, which he thinks was formed by eating demonic stones. Because of its physique and armor hardness, this alone would outnumber that armored bear.

But his true power is fire, ice, thunder, and magic that manipulates three attributes.

From his mouth he sprays fire, from the ceiling he grows a big ice column and drops it, and on both arms he punches with a spark wrapped around him. In some cases, the first versatility to exercise even defensive magic that creates flames and ice walls.

His combat abilities are undoubtedly higher than any boss monster I've ever defeated.

Well, such a strong character Kristaurus is now rolling in front of me, seemingly indiscriminate.

"Yes, Kotaro. Glowing cow, I knocked him down."

Yeah, right, you knocked it down. It was full bocco, wasn't it? I'm watching. This one was pathetic.

"With Ryuichi and Mr. Twin Leaves in the boulder, you won't struggle with ordinary demons."

"Well, it wasn't a bad guy as a sandback"

and others, and the brave man and king share their thoughts with a cool face.

Kristaurus thinks of these three as obviously rare strong individuals, far stronger than the bosses in line, but they had too many bad minutes for their opponents.

It was a christaurus that ravages around taking advantage of three attribute attacks and a gigantic body, but by means of a collaborative attack that kept the three breathless, the radiant outer shell is crushed, bleeding strong, and the flesh torn apart. The crystalline armor was almost crushed, one arm fell, and when the corners broke and wore out, he finally escaped enlightenment that he was no match, but blocked the aisle with the committee chairman's "The Iced Shield (Eyes Armasild)," which was packed.

It was a long way from stabbing Todome to extinction, only for a fraction full of life force. From what I can tell, I feel like I'm looking at a one-sided lynching.

I mean, I didn't do anything in the fight against Kristaurus?

"You're with me, Natsukawa-san."

"Wow, I've been scouting properly!

No, I know, I'm not going to blame you. It's a pretty harsh instruction to mix with those three and join the attack, isn't it?

Natsukawa-san is never a wacko with low proximity skills either, but again, compared to the three of us... but even though there didn't seem to be a difference in combat power with May so far when I was there.

Um, after all, does the difference in growth rate also get bigger as we move through the dungeon?

"In the meantime, good day. He seems like a pretty good prey."

All of a sudden I got this kind of good luck.

A tough flesh, a crystalline outer shell that seems to contain a lot of hardness and magic, and a large core worthy of strength. Crystaurus is all about fine materials. A walking chest, I guess.

My tension is already going up in front of the fine material that I can afford to change even if I upgrade Minotaur Unit 4 in full...... The test for Christaur is only after I get back to the school tower.

I'm more concerned about the demonic stone he was eating than about him.

"Hey, I wonder if this could be a demon stone mining site"

"Perhaps you are. I wonder if there are so many demonic stones buried in the mine."

Did you make a dungeon because you have a demonic stone mineral vein, or was the mineral vein refined in the dungeon? It doesn't matter to us right now.

The important thing is that there are going to be tons of demon stones that can be mined here.

"Let's move on with some more exploration. Maybe this Christaurus will come out in the herd, so be careful."

Worst of all, it was this Kristaurus dining room. Just the hall here. If it was available as a Demon Stone mining site... heh heh heh, this is not impossible to mass produce magic items either!

You did it, little birdie, you'll have a heap of work to do. I'm not putting you to bed tonight, baby.

"- The Demon Stone is actually called" Light Stone. "

"Hmm."

"So, some of the demons eat this light stone, and that's how the light stone magic made them stronger, called the Light Stone Species (Crystalers)."

"I see."

As an achievement of today's search for the desert, when I brought back Crystaurus, little bird pleasure suddenly spoke of his setup about Koitz.

I thought knocking down the specific mons would lift the information ban flag and talk out NPC, but apparently, he remembered the email information he had received before.

Is it because of the vocation 'Sage', little bird games seem to have a wealth of email information? I'll have it all written down later.

"So, the demon stone of natural things that Colle has taken at the mining site, not, no, it's a light stone, how about it?

"Hmmm......"

and looking at the colorful light stones that I have appropriately picked up.

Compared to the things that have been obtained in various places so far, the colour luster and brilliance look inferior. This one feels like just a raw stone.

Somewhat, even if the quality of the magic drops, I hope I can use it...

"What's small and not very glowing is that it has little magic, but once you collect a lot, you can smelt it and make it big, maybe?

"Well, it's nice to meet you at Light Stone Smelting."

"I knew I couldn't smell a bird."

"Ok, shall I train you specifically to improve your ability to smelt? How about morning practice?

"I'll smell the light stone!

Damn, if you can do it, just say you can do it from the beginning.

In the meantime, I'll give the light stone I brought back as a sample to play with the birds and I'll get ready for something else.

"Optical Stone Species (Crystal),? I knew it was Raemons."

This Crystaurus would definitely mean the Minotaur photolithic species (Crystaler). I was actually eating light stones, and I used the magic I took in, and my body formed an outer shell of crystals, and all the typical characteristics apply.

"It's a good material... but I can't seem to get into the whole Unit 4 to enhance it"

Mostly because of my lack of strength.

Even if I could, I would be asked for a lot of control.

As it stands, Black Knight and Minotaur, with almost the same performance, are well balanced. With my control right now, if I concentrate on these two main classes, I can let them both exert their full strength.

It's impossible to move all of Arakune, Alpha, and other aircraft, such as Gargoyle, at the same time, but, well, Rem, each aircraft is on its own separate job, so it's very unlikely that all of them will be in a fighting situation. Although the risk is not zero, given the current workload, there is no other way to get every lem to work hard.

"But if we keep all the Rem running at this pace, we'll be able to grow control."

At the time of the Yamatano Orochi crusade, if possible, I want to stretch all the Rem aircraft currently in my possession to control enough to fight at all costs.

A bit of authentic growth, but I think it would be gratifying to be able to feel that. For one thing, let's keep going until the degree of growth stops.

"We'll do it again next time to strengthen Unit 4. I guess what I need right now is for mining."

It's only natural to go digging more aggressively than that pyramid underground light stone mining site found useful. I wonder, however, whether it would be appropriate to draw the boys to zorro and imitate the miners. At the very least, it is not a very tense job, and I am concerned about the decline in morale.

The simple but heavy labor task of searching for light stones that seem good in the mining yard, even mining, is only suitable for Lem, a doll.

"Turn the Black Knight and Minotaur, and then the Gargoyle too"

This will form a fully automated mining unit. If Skeleton Platoon and High Zombie Platoon can also be accompanied, more than enough manpower can be secured.

The rem that was placed in the expedition unit will also fall out, but we'll make up for it by replacing personnel there.

I can't help but accumulate more and more material because work is lagging behind me at a little bird game where I'm not jerking off anyway.

On this occasion, the operation of the Exploration Unit is united, rotating the members. Let's have a spare work system where some people can always rest. Specific proposals are thrown round to the chairman of the committee.

"Well, we've got a steady supply of light stones, and I think I'll develop a genuine, disposable magic item."

At Kotaro's suggestion, from today onwards there was only one operational exploration unit.

Today's organization consists of:

Captain/"Brave Man" Aoi Jin Yu

Deputy captain/"healing magician" Aili Himeno

"Soil Mage" Langtang Apricot

"Swordsman" Yohei Ueda

"Heavy Warrior" Yamada Energetic

"Magic Swordsman" Yangzhen Nakazaki

That's it.

This time it was also necessary to have combat experience, and Lando Apricot, previously engaged in civil engineering work at the Yamatano Orochi nest, was also to participate.

"He wants us to gather around the core today. It'll take a lot of work, but whoever knocks it down will be stripped away."

You're kidding. Trouble.

Ueda was the only one who obviously offended Yudo's instructions, but the fact that others felt the same way appears in his expression. Nobody wants to be happy to do the blood-smelling work.

But still, the experience of dungeon attack is alive around everyone being able to do the core removal work itself.

"Hey, me, I can't do this. No."

However, only Aili Himeno had wasted so much time in front of the defeated werewolf that she didn't like it.

"Ajin-kun!

"Hime-no-san, this is what we all do -"

"Ugh, Himeno said do it!

"Hiya!?

Apricots snap their asses clean for the sake of Ellie.

To the sudden attack, Ellie was screaming less adorable.

"Ugh, uhh..."

too unreasonable, and Ally resents and grudges Apricot, but

"Ah? What?"

"Hey, it's nothing... I'll do it..."

Is this the insurmountable wall of Class Karst? Starred back by the apricots, Ellie broke without being able to put a word on her ass.

"Mr. Langdon, that's a little too tight right now."

"Aoshi, you are too sweet for a woman. That's why you put it up."

"Yep..."

It was Yudo who didn't think the voice of condemnation would flame on him.

Despite such an act, core collection by the Exploration Corps proceeded well.

This hunting ground is a dark city, but for the past few days I have become somewhat accustomed to fighting the werewolves.

Backward vigilance while the rest of the members protect the helpless Ellie, focusing on Aoshi Yudo.

With this formation, whether a werewolf strikes in a herd or a mix of more powerful demons, we can deal with it in a stable manner.

Members were also beginning to get used to this safe and secure formation, which is why they may have forgotten too.

That is too much, to be a formation that relies too much on the power of the 'brave'.

"- Um, come on, Aemon."

It was around the time of entering a large stone chapel-like building that seemed relatively safe during the lunch break. It was the apricot that cut the fire.

"What do you mean we're here?"

There were four combined fights to get here, including the first one.

Among them, about three werewolves were defeated by members other than Yudo. All the other demons had been destroyed by Yudo alone.

"That's not true, Mr. Langdon. My people are stiffening up behind me, so I can fight with confidence."

"We're not babysitting Himeno to fight like you."

"Oh, come on, Langdon, calm down."

Obviously to the thorny dialogue, Yudo is eating his face. It was Ueda, a friend of mine, who sandwiched his mouth so that he could talk, somewhat of an apricot.

There is no other way to drink and watch Ellie, Yamada, Nakajima, etc. for the sudden and sinister atmosphere.

"Sure, I'm fighting more, but this is the safest -"

"That would be easier if Ao-jin knocked you down, but come on, that's not what's going on right now."

There is awkward silence everywhere.

The policy of safety first, is never a mistake.

However, it is inevitable to take some risks in order to be strong.

"But now we should be safe and secure to go. I have a duty to protect everyone."

"Aoshi, are you mistaken?

"What?"

"We never asked you to protect us."

Then I won't help you - and so much so that Aoshi Yudo doesn't have a short-circuited personality.

Yudo is rather incomprehensible and perplete as to why Apricot would say that.

"Orchido, isn't that a little too much for a boulder? In fact, Aoshi is the strongest, so you can't rely on him."

"Because you can fight like this and be strong. We don't really want you to protect us, we want you to be strong enough that you don't have to protect us."

"Strength is not what you force yourself to seek. Well, fighting in a dungeon is a real battle for life, it's dangerous to be unscrupulous."

"That's why you're captain, isn't it? You're not a guardian, so don't tell me to protect you on your own!

To the words, Yudo could not argue immediately.

In other words, I didn't believe in the power of the members of the Exploration Corps.

I don't have to know if they've ever worked together, including cherry blossoms, and I've just joined them here, and that includes those who are remorseful, even though we've had some discussions at the grade club.

When he was to lead those faces, it was only half natural that Yudo's heart lacked trust in them.

"... Sure, I didn't believe in everyone's power"

"Well, from Aoi True, we're like mutton fish."

"No, that's it..."

However, efforts must be made to reduce that clear difference in strength at all.

At the earliest possible time, it is not a question of humanity, such as upliftment, but of dying and living in a situation where a mighty enemy named Yamatano Orochi stands in the way.

Relying solely on the strong cannot solve it. A major obstacle that cannot be broken without one person remaining and sharpening his powers and joining forces.

"Apprentice the Peach River for any guy."

"That's a little... but I get it. Let's change the formation from now on."

Nor was Yodo the boulder any better than breaking it if told so far.

As the saying goes, I am also convinced that the apricot word makes sense.

But just like Meguko, I wonder if it was the influence of Kotaro Takawa who made Lando say so far that he had nothing to do with the battle, and I get a slight discomfort and a bad feeling.

"... does he have, even a curse that draws people into battle"
