Late. Tamer's day.

Lesson 601: The Boss at the Door

The Beastman Village cave wasn't more complicated than I thought. There are only a few splits, and it seems that the places that will eventually arrive on any route are together.

Given the harvest and experience, isn't this a good hunting ground for us? The enemy is too strong. I think the acari players have finally formed a proper party.

There are enough stocks of healing pills, so I felt that I managed to use them to push myself forward.

And after about three hours of exploration, we've come to what seems to be the deepest part.

I've filled all the maps, and I'll only stay beyond this door.

"I see. Are you going?"

This time, I have this!

It was a small orb that Acari took out of the inventory. It emits a blue light and has a mysterious appearance.

This item is a super escape ball. It is an item that you can use to escape from the dungeon. These days, it's the upper compatibility of the escape balls that are on the market normally.

What makes us super is that we are effective even during boss fights. In other words, you can challenge it to see the power of the boss and use it when you're about to lose.

He said he could gather information on the boss without penalty for returning to death. It was an interesting item, though there were some limitations, like not being able to use it in Raid Boss combat.

I don't think I'll use it myself. Besides, it's expensive. I sold it in the town of Area 10, but I bought it for 500,000 yen each. In that case, it would be better to take the Despena.

However, this time I got a good item from the treasure chest, so I decided to use it. I wish I could go back and deposit the item, but it would take some time.

Well, I told you that when I used it, I would halve the price, and I'm interested in the boss, so I think it would be good to try it this time.

Is the acaricus already equipped?

"Yes! It feels good!"

The gear was different from when I entered the cave. I switched to the gear I got from the treasure chest.

Acari got a pair of boots called tiger boots and an accessory called a bat cloak.

Tiger boots have a high defense and a silencing effect that reduces footsteps. Plus, it comes with a spike and works well in unstable places. You have very useful gear while exploring the cave.

The cloak of a bat has the effect of erasing the signs and distracting them from the shadows. Sneaky missions will be invaluable.

Both acorns were overjoyed.

"You can't use Mr. Yuto's in this cave, can you?"

Well, both mine were for the field outside.

I got an item called a wolf's axe and a herbivore's bell.

The Wolf's Hand Axe is a small axe that can be used as a cutting axe, preventing the gear owner from being attacked by wolf monsters.

Although it was a limited effect, there were wolf monsters everywhere, and there would be plenty of opportunities. Simply a high level of felling axe would be a pleasure.

The other item was a herbivore bell.

It was a vigilant magic tool that, when used, created something like a barrier of about 30 meters in diameter, telling the user that there was an intruder.

It is a very convenient item that we can use during breaks without needing to be vigilant. Moreover, it can be used 30 times.

There are many items in this hand that can only be used about 10 times, and it seemed like they would cost a lot of money. According to Acari, the frontline players wanted more than they could get out of their throats.

Well then, let's open the door!

Oh!

With the acorns in the lead, we broke through the door.

Inside, it's like a giant dome. The ceiling is over 30 meters tall and over 200 meters wide. It's dim and confusing, but is there more than 300 meters in some cases?

I only had a bad feeling when I saw this hall. The same was true of the acorns.

"Hey, I don't mean to be spacious..."

Do you think so, Yuto-san?

Yeah.

The boss field is usually made to fit the size of the boss that appears there. The smaller the boss, the smaller the field, and the larger the field.

At the very least, there was plenty of room for the boss to move unimpeded. Not always, but at least up to Area 10.

So what if we have a field that's so wide?

The answer came quickly.

Ugh! I don't know what's going on!

A lion with three necks? It's so big. "

Proceeding through the field, I saw a huge shadow beyond the darkness. As you get closer, you can see who you are.

There was a giant lion with golden hair shining in the darkness. Even if you are still lying down, you can understand its size.

If we get up, it could be about 30 meters long.

Besides, I had three necks. Lion version of Cerberus? At that size, it was obviously a strong enemy.

Plus, there's a fact that stunned us.

The red markers and health bars were clearly visible even though I hadn't entered combat yet. This was the hallmark of the Raid Boss.

The Super Escape Ball can't be used in Raid Boss combat, can it?

Yes.

"... let's get out of the cave for now?"

"... I agree."
