The Ethel I dropped was picked up by Caizi.
No, well, that's it.
Actually, somehow I made a mistake to create a relationship of trust between these two people in a subtle atmosphere... yes, I simply misunderstood.
"I'm sorry."
How to say it
"I'm sorry."
All right.
That's why the honesty was sold. I asked Ethel to apologize on the spot with a flat head and forgive me to the extent that my head was slapped with a cross, and I started to act again.
The current location is slightly above the center of the spire, and I just broke through a window in a room there that is now unused.
The room was surprisingly spacious. If you were careful, you could wield my sword and Caizi's trident at the same time.
When it comes to spires, there is an image of "thin, narrow", but sometimes the corridor at the foot is too large in the first place, and it seems that it was too thin.
Originally, I intended to descend even more straightly from here, but due to the failure of removing the Ethel I had, I decided to escape the cathedral first through the interior considering safety.
When I failed to make the choice, I was not in a position to give my opinion to the victim, Ethel, because the proposal was convenient for me.
In any case, passing through the interior means that the road to the large library takes extra time.
And if you take the time, the chance of encountering monsters that have returned from that kind of excitement will increase, which means that it will increase the experience gained.
I'd suggest we go for a couple of nights or three days, but the man shut up and chuck his mouth.
Even if I'm honest, I can still keep my mouth shut for my own benefit.
"By the way, Thor, what is the sweet smell of your flowing stone as far as the path in the cathedral?"
……
"Ah? Sweet smell?"
As Ethel pointed out, Caizi and I sniffed the surrounding smell.
Ayako immediately noticed the abnormality and said in a gesture that she had no idea, and I frowned at the indescribable feeling even as I sniffed the smell.
Hmmm?
I wonder what it smells like.
I'm so used to sniffing... I remember too much... like the perfume sole of a monster in my luggage bag...
Ah...
……
"Hey, Thor?"
I stretch out my hand without staring at the bag that my shoulder is carrying, and check the item that was supposed to be inserted in the easiest position to take out on the outside.
Touching a broken glass container, dripping liquid wets your fingertips.
The source of the smell is definitely this, and it is similar to the smell of perfume sent by monsters.
The fact that the smell is so wet on the fingertips, and the fact that Ethel told me to notice, means that most of the perfume from the monster that has increased the concentration tenfold is flowing out.
"... ah, yeah"
Fufu.
I can hear the wind blowing out the window!!
"Get down! It's coming!"
"What did you do this time?!"
Ethel and the others noticed the sound from the outside and fell as if they were jumping into the edge of the room.
Immediately after that, instead of the wreckage of the window we kicked, even the wall on one side of it appeared as mushroom-shaped monsters moving at a high speed while coning and spinning.
They break through the door of the opposite room, but they make a splendid drifting turn and turn their spears at us again.
[Hanel mushroom]!
"---!"
"Whoa!? Stop it, Caizi! Don't fortify your defenses!"
It's already too late to see and warn us of the identity of the assailant.
Caizi felt the danger and laid a six-layer defensive barrier on her body. The mushroom-type monster "Hanel Mushroom" reacted to her actions and decided on the rocket start from the initial start to the maximum speed.
"Huh!?"
At the next moment, Caizi was struck by the wall, and the momentum bounced back with a recoil. I managed to retrieve the threads that had fallen from the fractured wall.
She is a natural doll and does not bleed.
Therefore, the damage was shown by the horn that ran on the edge of the face, which was the strength of the impact Ayako had received.
Are you okay?
Well, that's surprising.
Caizi was stunned when she opened her eyes to the monster that was bouncing away from her, rather than damaging her from above the Defensive Barrier.
Then the horn mushroom that jumped her flew out of the spire, and now it was aiming for it with a drifting turn in the air.
"Are you kidding me!? What kind of attack power are you playing with mushrooms?!"
It's not because of the attack, is it?
The monsters sealed in the Forbidden Lot often have troublesome traits (gimmicks).
The characteristics of Hanerko, a kind of monster like this, were "absolutely pre-emptive" and "adding the defense value of the target to its own attack value three times", which was quite troublesome.
That said, "absolute pre-emption", which is literally the meaning, is the first thing that can be done regardless of the difference in status, so it is not a big deal. It is the characteristic of the latter that is driving the troublesome situation of Hanel mushrooms.
In the original game, there is a system called "Guard" that reduces the amount of damage caused by pressing the button in a timely manner against the opponent's attack motion, but the amount of damage reduction that occurs at this time and the numerical value of the character's defense and correction for it in the first place are called "defense values".
Then, the remaining value after subtracting this [defense value] from the [attack value], which is the value of the opponent's attack power, correction, and random numbers, is the damage the character takes. However, Hanel Mushroom has the attribute of adding three times the [defense value] calculated by the target to his [attack value] afterwards.
Therefore, the more Blocks you place, and the higher your Defense Buffs increase your Defense, the higher the Defense Value used in the final calculation, and the more damage you take from Hanel Mushrooms.
With the addition of the “Absolute Preemption” trait, players who are accustomed to blocking attacks while their hands are still out of sight at the start of the fight are under the illusion that “this mushroom is highly attacking”.
Then, in order to reduce the damage, you stack your allies' Defense Buffs, and then take more damage. To regenerate, your healing, more Defense Buffs, and Attack Debuffs will take your turn... and you will end up in a vicious circle.
Then why don't we kill him with firepower before he kills us? It's dodgy like an idiot, so it's possible, but the luck factor is too strong.
Most of them run out of resources and lose to Gili before they hit the target, so they'll be a bad influence.
And as long as you know the gimmicks, you can easily defeat them without such troubles, so you naturally choose that method this time.
"Thor! They're coming this way! What are you standing there for? Let's get out of here!!"
"It's okay, just take off your clothes."
"What? Ha!?"
……
As I stood in front of Ethel and Caizi looking at the moving mushroom, I was naked on my upper body.
With those two surprised by the behavior, I grabbed the trajectory of Hanel mushrooms and greeted Sumo-san by dropping my hips and making a stance with my arms wide open.
"Come on, come on!!"
Hanel mushrooms rush through the sky as they cone around in response to my voice.
Whether it's subtly moist, I keep accepting it as I feel something slimy in the shock that comes from a direct strike.
Bacha-bicha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-bucha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-cha-b-b-b-cha-b-b-b-cha-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b--b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b
When the storm-like dissonance stopped, all that remained was the wreckage that rolled around and the naked mushroom that stood in the center of it.
"Ehh... what do you mean...?"
It is a Hanel mushroom that adds 3 times the [Defense] value of the target to its [Attack] value. In fact, this target is only deactivated if it is not equipped with armor and does not act as a guard.
And in a situation where the trait is disabled, Hanerkinoko has a mechanism that deals a lot of recoil damage to her attacks. If she charges in that state, she will be recoiled and die instantly.
Hanel Mushroom is a monster that turns the player into a stabbing blade by defying a combat system that reduces damage.
But on the contrary, it was only a one-shot spoiler that could be lightly attacked if only the seeds were cracked.
But since the opponent does nothing and blows itself up on its own, giving it experience points, it would be nice if you could burst into it every night during an unprotected sleep, but unfortunately, the only thing that appears is the monster's sadness.
By the way, in the original work, you can get the banned book that was sealed with Hanel mushrooms at the time of the first defeat, and there is a hint that leads to his attack, so make sure to check the message logs when you lose. I'm going on a test here.
"Alright, we're done here." Let's move quickly, the other monsters must have noticed because the Haner mushrooms have gone badly. "
"I see.... by the way, don't you have to share the weaknesses and tactics of another monster?"
"Don't be silly. If I were to be defeated, my experience would be reduced." I've promised you nothing about how to take on the monsters, I'll never give it to you. "
"Yeah, that's the kind of guy you were." I heard that I was stupid. "
The uniquely sweet smell of perfume drifted from the monster in the room was almost unnoticed by the Hanel mushrooms that smashed the walls of the window.
Essel also seemed to have forgotten about the smell due to the impact of the Hanel mushroom. If so, we can only completely forget about it by inserting another task with the same momentum.
Thinking of it that way, I decided to move in to the point of receiving the clothes and hooking them up.
Looks exactly like a mushroom. I was glad that other monsters came because of the outburst, but I didn't have to say that it was because of the perfume.
……
"It's nothing, Ayako-san." It's nothing, so don't stick the painted part of your bag, Ayako-san. "
"There will be no hindrance in the future." It's okay. Don't touch it, don't touch it!! "
Caizi, who remembers it perfectly, poked her bag at the edge of the trident spear.
While I managed to ignore the reference, I thanked Joseph, who was omit conversational skills for the sake of "I don't want other men to hear Ayako's beautiful voice".
