Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 137: The Labyrinth of the World Tree (2) vs. One Hierarchy Boss

"Mr. Mine, I hit a stone -!

Hear Ami's voice and shake off his dagger at the mandragola he attacked.

For the most part, though I've moved on, all the demons that show up are Mandragola or Zarigani.

[The seed of skill] was also unusual, but all I had was the same thing with all the demons.

Mandragola is [the wind seed] and Zarigani is [the water seed].

"Um, Master Fenrill said it was a mountain of treasure for me.

Honestly, I'm not sure what the treasure is... do you mean [the seed of skill]?

Ami, Ku, and Fluffy were also at low levels at first, so the way they went up was huge, but now they're just like me and they're not going up at all.

From experience so far, it feels like defeating a high level demon among low levels will have the most [ten times the experience gained] effect.

And defeating demons at a lower level than your own never seems to raise the level.

When this happens, you can't hunt your skills, and you don't have to get to the next level. Even if you're here, you don't have much time.

It's not like Amy's in direct combat either, but it feels like she's getting used to it.

Originally, I came instead of a picnic of the three brothers, so it seems like it would be a good idea to go home if I defeated the boss.

Maybe the heart of this labyrinth is further down.

"If I defeat the boss on this floor, I'm going to go back to the Forest of the Divine Spirit, what do you think?

When I say that, two people start wasting their time saying no.

When I asked you to convince me to be your brother, I slapped him in the chest with a dong and said, 'Wow, let me do it!' and enter into the persuasion of my brothers.

It was two people who grew much older than they had initially been, whether their eldest son's persuasion played a role, but now they continue to pinch the waste.

"Wahoo..." When he raised his voice without power, Khu approached the hoohoohoo-poo people.

"Don't you dare!! You're stuck!

I started preaching to two people who kept squeezing their fins, moving left and right, swinging their tails up and down with vitamins.

Pushed by its awesome sword curtain, the two gradually quieter.

'... do you understand!?

"Wahoo."

Apparently, he's done convincing me. Come back to me with a satisfied look.

'It's slight! Praise me! Welcome!

The opposite of Khu, he comes back with a tired look. Ugh.

"Both of you...... thank you for your hard work"

I thank you as I gently stroke Ku's back and fluffy head.

"Me-Puluru, come here."

When I stroked his two soggy heads the same way, he seemed to regain a bit of energy.

"... Now, fluff, do you know where the boss is?

Probably the best of us in the ability to detect signs.

With all the similarities, I have no idea where the boss is.

I don't think it's a bad option to bet on fluffy sensing abilities.

'Wahoo... I'll back you up!

My head was stroked by me, and I started looking for signs of the boss with a fluffy, strained nose.

"Wafuru, can you do that?

Amy listens to me and asks me questions. [M]

"Yeah, Fluffy's ability to detect signs is amazing!

I have [Signal Detection/Big] too, but it doesn't come true for fluff!

Amy smiled when she saw me talking proudly.

"Mr. Mine, you really like Wafuru."

Hearing the words, the fluffy tail rocks violently. Apparently, he's happy.

"Yeah, I love it! Because it's an important family!

Welcome! Am I good too!?

"'Ma'am - Are we going to do the same?

'Yeah, it's obvious! I love Me-Puluru, and Ku hasn't even known him yet, but I do love him properly!

My brothers and Khu are delighted to hear my reply.

"Mai! I found him."

He told me that he found the boss, fluffing his tail wide.

He narrows his eyes and waves his tail when he touches his delightful fluffy throat.

"Okay, let's go then! Let's all do our best to defeat the boss!

At the head of the fluff, we turn to the area where we think the boss of this floor is located.

Along the way, I encountered Zarigani a few times, but the fuzzy and Ku's army of divine beasts, whose mood is exhilarating in an earlier conversation, quickly kicks in.

Of course, although I [cut] my skills, all I still had was the same thing.

Again, this World Tree Labyrinth (Dungeon) seems to have the same skill structure if it's a demon of its kind.

The demons we met in the Labyrinth of Power (Dungeon) and the Oak settlement are of the same species, but given the fact that a guy with different skills has quite a few things to do, maybe this is also the hallmark of this Labyrinth (Dungeon).

Because of this, I don't know what kind of [water seeds] and [wind seeds] will accumulate.

When we get back to the Forest of the Divine Spirit, let's ask Master Fenrill who this skill is.

The two skills of [Auxiliary Magic/Hit] [Magic/Water Large] have already been pasted into all members.

If Ami had these two skills too, she might even be able to fight in the boss battle!

I'm just throwing stones, but I've had a couple of fights, so mostly she feels used to it, too.

... Yeah, I think I'll ask her to join me in the boss fight.

"Wow! Got it! You're here! You're here!

What Wafuru was referring to with his right hand up was a huge door composed of a complex intertwining of trees.

Perhaps, just like the Labyrinth of Power (dungeon), if you touch the door, you can get inside.

'Then get ready before you go in!

With that said, the Legion of Divine Beasts and Mr. Amy gather around me.

I can't predict what kind of demons there are, so I thought I'd do my best.

"First of all, I'll appraise you, so everyone can go in there and wait a little while without moving."

With that said, I take out the lightning edge and the steel dagger and equip them as they are.

And paste it into Ku and Ami, who haven't pasted [Play] yet.

There should be no problem because I have pasted it on the two Mei Pu Ru Buru before.

... you can't if you forget the lesson of the Black Dragon Battle.

All right, we're ready. Let's do our best to get it done!

We put our hands on the door in turn and enter the boss's room.

"Everybody, are you in?

Look around and make sure there are three fluffy brothers, Ku and Ami properly.

And slowly turn your gaze to the boss room.

Name: Yugdrasil Megabeetle

LV: 48

Race: Crustacean

Gender: -

[Skills]

Driver Reid

Flying

Auxiliary Magic and Defense

[Skill Seeds]

Wind Seeds (Large)

... The boss was a huge golden beetle.

Something is so disgusting...

"That's so disgusting..."

Ami shares her thoughts in a heartfelt manner.

Even I think it's disgusting, so if you saw it from the woman Ami, you wouldn't like it.

In the meantime, let's start by taking our skills off the streets.

[Flying] What a pain in the ass if they use your skills.

... That says the seed of this beetle's skill is (large).

Is there a stage of strength or something like other skills? That bothers me so much...

Well, then, let the battle begin!

So did Zarigani, but he's a demon with a hard looking impression.

Bottom up your attack and hope for battle.

Hang [Body Enhancement/Large] [Arm Enhancement/Polar] [Aurora Arm/Holy] [Iron Wall] [Streak Slice] all at once.

I use Fluffy [Aurora Arm/Pole] [Body Enhancement/Small] [Strenx Rise].

"Ki-yu! Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting stuck!

Ku summons everyone. And using [Defense of the Divine Beast] increases everyone's defense.

'All right, I'll go then!

That's what I say, unleashing [Auxiliary Magic/Defense Decline] on the beetles.

Increase your Attack and lower your enemy's Defense.

Now, no matter how hard those beetles are, there can be no damage.

[Auxiliary Magic/Defense Decline] hits, and the beetles get an attack posture against this one.

... but your skills have already been [cut]!

You can't fly, you can't attack with your skills.

Without understanding why his skills don't activate the way he thinks they do, the beetle starts waving its huge horns mad.

The swinging horn looms toward Ku.

"Kicuuuuuuuu!

I also welcomed Ku with the skill [Bauble Shower] that I showed in the earlier battle.

Spread loud shock noises around the area, and the horns of the beetles change their trajectories in an unspoilt direction.

And the big, vertiginous beetle disfigured whether the shock had been transmitted to the entire body.

Three brothers flutter in the gap and one after the other knock [Double Strike of the Divine Beast] in.

Unlike the earlier Khu attack, the breaking noise, the fierce striking noise echoes, opening a large wind hole around the back part of the stiff, shiny beetle worm and the blades hidden.

From that hole, the bodily fluids of the beetles come out of the fierce momentum.

"Now! Mr. Amy! Shoot me, hey, hey, hey!

When I scream like that, Ami taps [Auxiliary Magic/Hit] from [Magic/Water Great] continuously with a nervous face.

The magic strikes directly, shaking the big bug, and Ku uses the [Assault of the Divine Beast] to dare to hit the body.

Ku's skills must have been amazing, and I don't suppose he ever stomped any more.

All those giant beetles blowing away a few meters away with fierce momentum!

Bouncing over and over on the ground, knocking on the door of the boss room we've been entering, the beetles repeating their pimples and cramps.

There I snapped [Martial Arts: Shark Grow] at once.

Multiple rides of attack-based skills, the blow also easily tore the stiff crust of the beetle and wiped out its life.

'... Ugh, is it over?

It takes a great distance from the stuck beetles and squeals like that.

Maybe he's still alive for a second. Stay alert without alarm.

After watching for a while, I could confirm that a luminous mass of light emerged from the body of the beetle.

When I used [cut] to try and tried to dismantle it, the dismantling was completed in no time.

"... apparently, you're safe to defeat."

Now, when it comes to the boss of the Labyrinth (Dungeon), it's a loot to look forward to.

[Rowbust Shield]: Shield made of very hard material.

Strong magic and greatly attenuates damage from physical attacks.

The drop was a slightly larger shield with a shiny black, golden edge.

From the looks of it, it seems very defensive and expensive!

I tried lifting it, but it's so light that I can't think of it due to its size.

Looks like a woman would be fine with this.

I got better than I expected!

Now that we have a separation, we shall return to the Forest of the Divine Spirit as planned.
