Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"I don't need such a rare species!

"If it was the same rare species, I wish it was herbal or material!

"I agree!

Linus and Ellen expressed their best feelings, and Alec quickly agreed. That's dangerous. When I told Ruli to protect Theoli and the others, she trembled bravely and tenderly to leave it to me.

"It's so dangerous....."

"This is your first time."

The shallowest day to become an adventurer, Shiori nods with a bloody lost face.

I thought it was some kind of joke when I ran into a Phantom Snowman in Silveria, but this was a nasty substitute. With its high magic and intelligence, it was said that this beast, which liked to eat the brains and organs of its prey, was bred by experimental animals that had been subjected to vicious and immoral magic experiments during the imperial period.

But it was only recently that it turned out to be a neat creature that could be classified biologically as a beast. A beast classified as either the end of the Spirit - or the existence (thing) close to the Death (undead).

In the old days, when the adventurer business was less common, it was treated as a phantom beast and is now recognized as a definite magic beast (Hugued Eiter). It was once called a phantom beast, so its encounter rate is extremely low. It inhabits the depths of underground ruins and ancient graves, and rarely appears in caves - a beast that lives in the darkness.

"Linus, have you ever fought with that?

He answered with a few clever bows and arrows aimed at the head of the brain sip.

"I've only encountered it twice before. But once, I stopped and managed to escape. At that time, I was alone and had confidence in my feet. What about your husband?"

"Three times. But I ran away twice. I may be able to earn some experience, but I'd like to refrain this time, if possible. Once Zach and I were together, we managed."

Zack, Clement, and Nadia took a breath of poison and fell, and then they almost fed it. They launched a total attack and turned it into dust, but now they and Ranged Rhinus are the only ones who can fight. I can't bear to deal with that.

"I'll only do it once. But just looking away, we all ran away."

"Luckily I haven't done it yet... but I see how creepy that is. I was horrified to think it would suck on the contents."

Each answers honestly and laughs dry.

It was too bad luck to encounter a dangerous rare species of beast in a non-natural habitat. We could at least harvest a rare material, but it ran out of life, and in the end, the cells quickly collapsed and returned to the soil. Very rarely, it drops magic stones and has little flavor.

I am afraid of the obsession of the beast researcher who walked around in a blind spot trying to expose the beast's ecology for any reason, set off a total attack with the skilled adventurer he had, froze it the moment he took it away, and took it home.

― ― There is no indication that the brain sipping is watching or determining the first prey, or that it will stop and move more than a dozen metels away. But I was sure he wouldn't let me go. I wonder if they are even consulting about something, but I am stupid with my eyes closed to laugh at it.

For some reason, it is troublesome to be sure to act on your turn.

"Listen. Listen up, everybody. They use a combination of powerful magic and psychological attacks. Physical attacks are the main cause of high magic resistance, but breathe out the poison as soon as you get there. If inhaled, you will develop hallucinations, so stay away from it. That's a mess. Keep your eyes open at all times. I'll do the direct assault."

"... I read the report on Brovito's case. Snow Wolf (Snow Very) is magically resistant, but magical attacks on his body were effective, right? I wonder if they can use it."

Linus said it was a sleigh. He says he wants to try anything if it's possible.

"I don't know, but it's worth a try. Linus, then Cili. I need backup."

"Ohh!

Copy that.

There was a vibrant response from Linus and a slight tremor from Shiori. Louis at her feet also trembled.

"Then Ellen and I will never get hit. I'll take care of the antidote."

"Oh, please."

There are three assistants who are physically inferior to themselves this time. I have no choice but to scatter it and run.

But...

(... if possible... I wanted to escape)

Alec bites his inner teeth as he throws out a sphere of light to widen the field of battle with light magic.

It is also said that brain sipping favors the fear of prey above all else. Poison and horrible hallucinations, targeting the moment the prey was horrified.

It is a poison that amplifies the fear of those who have received it.

--I didn't want to experience the hallucinations caused by the poison again.

(But can't you say that?)

One of the main powers is broken, Linus is Ranged. Alec will take charge of the approaching attack.

The sip of my brain moved slowly. A slight sway of magic elements.

As I set it up, I thought so, and there was a sound of cutting the sky. Three shots in a row. Linus' bow and arrow, ejected by the enemy's eyes, was knocked down by a tentacle, one in the middle of a wrapped rag, and the other pierced the neck of the next brainsip.

The thick and stupid mouth was ripped vertically. A screaming ear shakes the air in the cave. The voice raised by a shaped beast, which was almost unlikely to be the creature of the world, is also a wonderful invitation to the world of death.

But Alec, who was not afraid of it and filled the gap at once, threw away his sword wide beside him. A few tentacles flew a thousand times, but they fell to the ground and were stupid enough to entangle Alec at his feet as if he had the will. Alec jumped and slapped his tongue.

"I've thought about it before - what a life force!

A sip of brain screamed something.

A fireball that was born in a empty space bursts and scatters.

"Ice Wall (Is-Veg)!"

"Aquarium!

The voice of Shiori and myself overlapped. Prevent double barriers from falling fire debris.

It was almost coincidental, but Alec laughed at the two breathtaking defensive actions.

"You're good!

Shortly after exhaling, a thunderbolt of arrows fell over his head and immediately erected the next barrier.

"Stone Wall (Stainless Veg)!"

"Dust!"

A powerful thunder was sucked into the wall from the rock, and the dust rolled up caught its brain sipping with thunder arrows. Dust stuck to peeled skin and large eyeballs, or they twist uncomfortably.

"Don't do it!

Thank you!

Theori is also a magician at one end of the spectrum. Attributed attacks and defenses never draw attention from attacking magicians.

Ice or water for fire, and soil for thunder.

No matter how high the magic is, some people do not understand the rationale of this "attribute", but therefore cannot use magic. One of the conditions under which magicians become magicians. It is an understanding of quaternary properties and knowledge of them, as well as situational judgment.

"You know! I wonder if you can't make a magic wall and run away!?"

Linus shouted as he shouted a bow at his brain sip, which performed magic with a fluffy and strange movement.

"There was a report that the walls were destroyed and the corridor fell down!

"Seriously! That's no good!

Ellen answered, and he groaned strangely. I'm afraid I'm holding him firmly in my arms while I'm there. But blocked by magical barriers and stupid tentacles, it doesn't hit the heart of the crisis, and it always twists and tongues its cheerful expression.

Seeing his brain sip slightly ready to unleash the next magic, Alec glanced at the moment when Linus' arrow was fired. Aiming at the gap created by spreading the tentacles in an attempt to dislodge an arrow, he pokes a sword of love wrapped in flames into one cloudy eye.

An incredible scream from the Beast. The rest of his eyes were turned against Alec in hatred. I was going to stab you pretty deep, but I'm still going to stick my tongue in a terrible life force that won't kill you.

The beast's mouth broke vertically, and the tubular tongue, which would be a random pile of teeth and suction mouth, peered out.

Signs of exhaling poison.

(Coming!)

The moment I pulled out my sword and flew back to make time. A quick tentacle wrapped around the left wrist and left leg.

"Kh...!

I managed to push through the collapsed posture and avoid falling into the spot, but the restrained limbs were pulled in an unnatural direction. You cannot escape without the sword of your dominant hand.

"Flame!"

I know it won't work. But I just need to make a gap. Like the Snow Wolf, attacks on the body may be effective. A huge flame burned the mouth of the brain sip.

A short scream rises and the tentacles relax.

Alec!

"Husband!

Something cut right across the side and stuck it in the sippy eye of the brain. Then it hit the one behind me. Linus' arrow. Its skill in shooting at the target without overaiming in this situation is impressive.

But...

"Gu...!

A severely wounded and furious tentacle of brain sipping tangled into my body. An unmanageable, breathtaking force. My right body is also restrained and I can't even move.

I thought I'd get close to the prey (Alec) that was hanging behind me, and I slipped through the side. We're heading for Theoli. He gave Alec his turn and changed his target.

The ice spear, released from the sip of the brain, attacked them, and Theoli's flames and Lori's body prevented it. However, the magic difference prevented everything, and several ice spears pierced the barrier. The scream rises.

There may have been an injury.

"Shit!

Alec challenged the magic of muscle enhancement and squeezed his strength.

"Gu, oh, oh!

The moment I pulled off the tentacles, swinging my liberated dominant arm to my strength, I slightly truncated it.

A sweet and distinctive odor punctured my nose. It smells familiar. It was a poisonous exhalation coming out of the mouth that was supposed to burn. I tried to hold my breath and prevent it, but my vision blurred with terrible dizziness.

(... does this... absorb from your skin?)

This brainsipping toxin is not well investigated due to rare species. Since there have been reports of symptoms even if I completely hold my breath, it is said that it is not poison but magic of illusion. But on the other hand, it suggested that it could be absorbed not only from the respiratory tract, but also from the skin.

Your brain was attacked by a stirring tinnitus, and your body tilted.

(Bad)

Alec chewed his lips as he searched his trembling fingertips for the antidote to the drug pouch. A force enough to bite and bleed. I try to endure the hallucinations. I had been told that it could be prevented to some extent just by being vigilant, but I honestly doubted how effective it would be.

But if the phantom swallows it, it's over. Not just me, my friends, my dear woman.

It was worth the effort, the moment my ears cleared and my vision opened up, as my head was about to crack.

The bitter screams of the woman echoed. The voice of Shiori.

"Shiori!

He shook his head to shrug away his sight and jumped into Alec's sight looking in the direction where he heard the screams - Siori's chest pierced by the Tentacles of the Beast. A friendly amount of blood drops from the chest stained with vermilion, and the little lips overflow with lumpy and red things.

--- Terrible fear and despair filled Alec's chest black.
