(15) Wood Spirit Eating
After finishing their first battle with the Spirit Eaters, Sigels proceeded cautiously down the cave aisle as they were.
Fortunately, so far, there is no place like it is branched, and it is going down the main road.
However, the Spirit Eaters had already appeared several times, each time fighting to make sure the Philomenas felt it.
And after finishing the fifth battle of the totals, Philomena said as she looked at Sigel.
"Maybe it's time for the Shiloh boys to join us."
"Yes. Okay."
To Philomena's words, Sigel nodded back as she answered so.
In previous battles, the spirits had not participated in the battle as they did in the first.
We know that if Shilo or Rig, the premier spirits, join us, we can easily move on.
Still, I didn't bother to let them participate, for one thing, in order for the Philomenas to get used to fighting the Spirit Eaters.
If the spirit-eater came out more often, or someone he could not defeat, he could not have said such a thing, but fortunately until now he had been defeated well, so he had not had the opportunity.
And at this stage Filomena has encouraged the Shiloh's participation because the spirit-eater that just came out was of a different strength than before.
"What's that, he seemed to be a pretty top opponent in" The Spirit Inn, "but will he be even stronger in the future?
"Well, I don't know about that... but then you'd better think about it"
"Is that so?"
To Philomena's words, not just Sigel who replied, but also the other three have a consensual look.
With the (seemingly) situation still ahead of us, we all know it's too cheap to think that Spirit Eating is the opponent of the highest difficulty right now.
It's already been about two hours since we moved on from Granome's address.
Still, I never saw what seemed to be the end of the road.
The end of Granome's dwelling has become a repetition of narrow paths and expansive caves, predominantly a pattern of spirit-eating appearances in expansive caves.
Of course, sometimes it doesn't fit the pattern, so I can't say it in general, but I'm more alert when I'm in a widespread cave.
On such a journey, Philomena, who was leading the way, stopped to be vigilant.
Before trying to ask what happened to Sigel, Philomena brought it in front of her mouth with her right index finger up.
It is a signal not to give words.
That alone shows that there is a spirit-eater.
Finally, Rig and Shiro are also staring ahead to see if they are receiving reports from the Spirit of the distribution.
Even if I know there's a spirit-eater ahead of me, I don't have the option not to move on.
There is also the reassurance that rigs and shillo will stop if there are enemies strong enough to be involved in life and death.
As a result, the Sigels proceeded to the cave ahead of them as they engaged in combat.
"- Hey!? Suddenly."
Almost at the same time as Sigel stepped out into the space of the spread, an attack from a spirit-eater came.
What you've attacked Sigel looks like a spreading wrapped around a tree, depending on what you look at it, but of course the spreading of plants doesn't move on its own.
Only a plant-based demon or part of a spirit-eater in front of you right now can do that.
"A spirit-eater in a tree."
Sigel's sight, so grunted, showed a spirit-eater in the shape of a tree that would be more than five metres high.
Some spirit-eaters that do not have a constant appearance have these plant-based appearances.
Sigel, who was looking for information on whether there was a similar spirit-eater within the "Spirit Inn," found a certain trait there and hurried to inform the three combatants.
"Guys, be careful because you might be resistant to fire! If you do poorly, you absorb it -"
"Apparently, you hit it worse."
Perhaps, before Sigel, who tried to continue, Philomena has said so in an abominable voice.
I reflexively used the magic of the fire system because the other person was in the shape of a tree, but instead of working at all, I made sure it disappeared lightly in front of me.
Philomena has seen such unnatural fire behavior for the first time in a spirit-eating opponent, but many times when she is dealing with demons.
Michaela and Marina immediately changed the way they attacked Sigel and Philomena when they heard the conversation.
The magic of the fire system against a tree demon is a classic response during the classic, so you have to reset your head once.
Most importantly, there is not a long time in battle, so the task is finished in an instant.
And in the next moment, attacks using wind and earth systems had begun.
Of course, in the meantime, Shiro himself and his spirits are attacking the Spirit Eaters.
It is Shilo who is carrying out the attack, and it is the rig who is protecting Sigel.
However, Rig himself is on alert beside Sigel, but the Spirit under his command is firmly fighting the Spirit Eater against him.
The attack rarely reaches Sigel thanks to the three fighters and the Shiloh, so they can still handle it adequately.
The wood-shaped spirit-eater seemed incapable of moving in itself, but was freely moving the branches and the spreads that were supposed to be wrapped around them, attacking the Philomenas.
It is so strange that the body itself appears to be firmly rooted, even though it can move the branches so freely.
The Philomenas are cutting off branches and spreads one by one as they judge those attacks.
In the meantime, while Shilo approached the main body and wondered what Sigel would do, he stuck his fangs in the main body near the ground.
While Sigel, who was watching it, wonders in his mind if such an attack makes sense, the momentum of the Spirit-eating attack in front of him drops as he sees it.
And Siro's attack (mouth?) Shortly after shaking off the shooting, the spirit-eater in the shape of a tree eventually became foggy and finally misty.
"Uh, eh? Maybe it doesn't have to be. Is that the weakness or something?
Filomena nodded bitterly at Sigel, who said in a slightly clapped manner.
"Apparently so. It's Shiloh's style."
Did you hear Philomena's words firmly, Shiro rushing over to the side of Sigel, waving his tail as much as he wanted?
Seeing that, I immediately understood that you wanted praise.
Sigel listened as he stroked Shiloh's neck as much as he wanted, looking at the Philomenas.
"I knew you were stronger than ever?
"Oh, that's for sure. In more detail, should we say that it is more of a hassle to fight than to be stronger"
Michaela and Marina are nodding in return for Filomena without even trying to hide their fed up expressions.
It was the feeling of those who are fighting directly that the spirit-eating they have now dealt with is remarkable, but is becoming an opponent with characteristics that do not strike down weaknesses or have no weaknesses themselves, rather than combat power itself.
Philomena described it as "troublesome" in a nutshell.
Here, Marina, who had nodded several times to Sigel's conversation with Philomena, heard as she watched Laura.
"So? Looks like Laura's had something in mind, huh?
When Marina told the story that way, Laura gave a hazy look.
When I saw how it was, I knew immediately that I had been thinking about something.
In response to everyone's gaze gathering, Laura said as she shook her head left and right.
"No. I wasn't thinking about the spirit-eater that was out there."
"What do you mean?
When Marina asked back like that, she went on to say as Laura made sure she chose the words.
"Why, of the light - no, the Great Spirits made such vague representations..."
After hearing Laura's words, the other faces nodded as soon as they understood, not knowing what they had been told for a moment.
What Laura wanted to say was that before the Sigels came to this place, the Great Spirits said they didn't know if the enemy was coming out.
Spirit eaters have already come out many times, from the first battle to this point.
It is only natural to wonder if you don't have to bother to hide that if you come out this often.
If you say it's because the Spirit Eaters are coming out, even if you think the Sigels might refuse to explore, then there's another way to put it.
Whether there is a need to hide from the brave Philomenas that the Spirit Eaters are coming out is a delicate matter.
That's about it, then there would be the idea that you should disclose the information from the beginning.
"Was there a reason I had to hide that the spirit-eater was coming out?
When Sigel put it that way, Michaela tilted her neck.
"Or because a spirit-eater comes out and you can't take care of it from the beginning?
"No, thinking about it here, there won't be an answer. Isn't it best to hear it when you get back?
That's how Filomena responded to Sigel and Michaela's questions.
I can think of any reason why the Great Spirits hid the information.
Everyone agrees with Philomena's words that she said with the intent that she would not have time to think long in this place where spirit-eaters might come out again.
