The Kicked Out S-rank Appraiser Creates The Strongest Guild

Episode 18: Supporting Demon Instructors and Armor

Chial worked enthusiastically in The Forest Workshop.

A blueprint for "Iron Breaking Bow" is placed in front of me.

"Grunt. That's Mr. Dawwin. It's an amazing design."

She was now working on developing weapons.

The challenge from Loran this month was to develop weapons beyond the Iron Breaking Bow.

Chial put a line in the blueprint and erased it, and put a line and repeatedly erased it and rewrote it over and over again.

"But I'm sure I'll show it beyond. But it's hard. Uh-oh."

Chial continues to pull the line with a pencil while keeping his head down with one hand.

It seemed like something could be done with a fever of wisdom from earlier.

Nevertheless, although her work was slow, it was proceeding a little steadily.

The Lorans, who dived the Transition Magic Formation, had reached four levels.

The scenery returns from the ruins' streets to woods dotted with sparse trees.

Loran was meeting with her to make the troops a shakma-centric formation.

"Then let's start with the basics. What is the role of the Supporting Demon Instructor?

"Yes, the role of the Supporting Demon Instructor, which is to minimize troop depletion"

Loran was unexpectedly surprised that the exact answer came back.

It was an expression of the essence of the Supporting Demon Instructor.

(You're a smarter kid than I thought. But then, why were you branded disqualified as a supportive magician when you knew so much about it?

"Fine. Pass. Then show me how to fight first. You can command your troops at your liberty."

"Yes."

Loran decided to observe how Shakuma fought once.

She doesn't see any major problems with her skills or status.

If there was a fatal problem with the rest of it, we had to be sure in the actual battle.

The Lorans were in a normal formation with archers in the front row, three rows, and proceeded with the dungeon.

After going on for a while, I could hear a roar crushing the atmosphere from the depths of the forest.

It was a big ghost (oak) squeal.

From the four tiers also emerge the Great Ghost (Oak) with many times the back length and arm strength (Power) of the Little Ghost (Goblin).

As Loran and the others wait in the face of tension, a monster soon emerges from Walla Walla and out of nowhere, attacking Loran and the others.

This time it consisted of 25 little ghosts (hobgoblins) armed with five big ghosts (oaks).

The Great Ghost (Oak) had an axe, and the armed Little Ghost (Hobgoblin) was a variety of soldier costumes including bows and arrows, sticks, and swords.

But for Loran, he was a great opponent to measure Shakuma's strength.

(Monsters of all sorts of soldier outfits. It's a good match to test the judgment of a supportive magician. I'll show you your qualities as a supportive magician, Shakuma!

The support demon mentor needed a tactical eye to properly grasp the war situation.

At present, at the beginning of the line are archers.

As it stands, reduce enemy forces with archers, deploy a shield unit to turn to defense, or storm to wage a white soldier battle.

Shakuma quickly checked the composition and formation of the enemy.

Enemy troops were coming at us by consolidating the Great Ghost (Oak) in the center, hardening both wings with goblins and storming.

From that, Shakuma discerned that the enemy was just willing to break through the center at the mercy of power.

"Bow Troops, shift to the right. Everyone on the shield instead. Expand and stop the enemy's Great Ghost (Oak). I'll be there." Defense Grant "!

When Shakuma chanted "Defense Grant," the Shield men were wrapped in blue light, increasing their defense.

The Great Ghost (Oak) leaves it to its giants and arms to rush into the Shield Squad.

The sound of giant heavy objects crashing into the metal echoed.

The Great Ghosts (Oaks) thought they could easily blow up with a single blow, such as a human being smaller than themselves, but the Shield Squad took a good hold of the Great Ghosts (Oaks) assault unharmed.

The axe that was then waved down is also taken pleasantly and shown.

It was the effect of 'Defense Grant'.

Then both wings of the enemy, an armed little ghost (Hobgoblin), tried to hit the Shield Squad from both sides, but the White Soldier Squad hit it and responded to it.

At that time, there was an Archer unit on the right wing, so we could cut the enemy's power just a little bit.

Thus the battle stretches sideways around the clash between the Great Ghost and the Shield Squad, forming a front full of paths.

Shakuma kept his eyes on the line with his rear guard.

Use 'Attack Grant' as a White Soldier Battle Unit to target side breakthroughs, or prepare to 'Defense Grant' again in case the Shield Unit's 'Defense Grant' expires.

In fact, the Shield Force was in an unacceptable state of anticipation.

It was a shield force that seemed to hold up an attack once, but then again, the Great Ghosts (Orcs) persisted in hitting and axe attacks.

The blue light that wrapped around the shield troops gradually faded, and if it stayed this way, it was likely that eventually the Great Ghost (Oak) would break through.

There is still a battle between them on both wings, and just because you gave 'Attack Grant' doesn't mean you can open it right away.

"Attacking Demon Instructors, Attack the Great Ghost (Oak)"

Shakuma decided to place an attacking demon mentor behind the Shield Force for now to let the Great Ghost (Oak) attack with fire magic.

The Attack Demon Instructor can attack enemies over allies.

The attacking demon leaders exposed the Great Ghost (Orc) to fire magic.

A magic formation unfolds at the foot of the Great Ghost (Oak), from which fire erupts.

The big ghosts (orcs) exposed to the flames became visibly weak.

Still Class D The flames emanating from the attacking demons there were enough to disrupt the attack, although not until they burned out the thick skin of the Great Ghost (Oak) and dealt dying damage.

No matter how powerful the great ghosts (orcs) were, when they were suddenly flamed out of their feet during the attack, they had to lower the axes they shook up and retreat.

Shakuma, who sees it, is convinced that the Shield Squad can hold up and gives the right-wing White Soldier Warfare Squad a 'Attack Grant'.

The five White Soldier Combat Troops given "Attack Grant" glowed red, blowing each other's enemies with one blow until earlier, allowing them to slash the armor of enemies that had not been slashed before, and kicked them off.

(Good taste. Read that you can stop the breakthrough of the Great Ghost (Oak) with a shield unit that has' granted defense ', choosing to form a battle rather than a reduction or breakthrough in force. Stops the strong part of the enemy's Armor (Power) with a' Defensive 'Shield and Attack Demon Instructor, aiming for a breakthrough with an Archer and a' Attack 'White Soldier Battle Squad Assault. Solid combat command. Up to this point, instead of being a supportive demon mentor, you look outstanding...)

The right-wing White Soldiers were destroying the enemy.

The White Soldiers can break through the armored Little Ghost (Hobgoblin) forces and destroy all enemies by turning to the side of the Great Ghost (Oak) and behind it.

In the center and on the left, the enemy is attacking.

It looked like the victory would roll in on the Lorrans as it was.

But...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa"

At that time when it seemed like he had made the victory current, suddenly Shakuma ran into the front line.

The light of reason that had dwelt in her eyes until earlier had been completely lost, and her shimmering eyes were like beasts.

Shakuma, who joined the right-wing front, stays put when he is hit with a cane by one of the goblins, leaving more and more forwards without worrying about the line, not to mention breaking into the enemy's midst, deep.

Soon she will be surrounded by armed little ghosts (hobgoblins), beaten to the head and passed out.

The one who panicked was the White Soldier Battle Squad who was fighting nearby.

As it is, Shakuma is slapped.

They had to line up and storm, rescue Shakuma, hold her passing out, and carry her into the back row.

The battle, which seemed so much over, was unthinkably prolonged, and although we managed to succeed in repelling our enemies, our troops drained more than we had to.

(I see. This is a bit of a hassle)

Loran grinned bitterly as he looked down at Shakuma, who was passing out and turning his eyes.

"Are you okay? Shakuma."

"Ugh, sorry"

It was a shakuma recovered from a coma following Uffine's "Single Recovery Magic," but the usual brightness nodded where, looking perfectly soggy.

"There's another bad scum out there. Listening to the sound of the battle really made me feel better...... I know if I don't fix it, I'm disqualified as a supportive demon mentor..."

"What. Nothing to worry about. There's a good way to overcome it."

"Is that true?

Shakuma has stared at Loran with her sunken face patted and brightened.

Apparently, the recovery was faster.

"Oh, I have some good gear"

Loran called out to one of his attacking demon mentors (who also had 'item possession' skills) and made him take out his armor.

"What's this?

"It's a heavy knight's armor."

That was the same model of armor for a heavy-duty knight that Jill wore.

"Next time the battle starts, equip yourself with this armor before you use backup magic."

"I see. You can safely go into enemy formation wearing this armor. But since the battle started? Don't you equip yourself when you march normally?

"Oh, so when the battle starts, always keep the item holder by your side so they can be equipped immediately"

"? Huh. Okay."

Shakuma honestly followed what Loran had to say, even though he looked uninterrupted.

Again, Loran and the others returned to explore.

He led the Shield Squad and proceeded in formation so that if there was a monster raid, it could be deployed immediately.

Also, a monster appears.

In a similar configuration as earlier, it consisted of 25 little ghosts (hobgoblins) armed with five big ghosts (oaks).

The enemy maneuvers were exactly the same, a central breakthrough by the Great Ghost (Oak) and a white soldier battle with flanking support by an armed little Ghost (Hobgoblin).

The Great Shield Squad deploys to contain the Great Ghost (Oak) immediately.

Other White Soldier battle forces also spread to form the front.

This time, the enemy on the left was a little farther away, so he shifted his archers to the left wing.

And this time again, the archers stayed behind to sharpen only a little enemy power.

Shakuma wore heavy knight armor.

"Come on. Now it's time to go." Defense Grant "!

Shakuma casts a spell and the Great Shield Squad is wrapped in blue light.

(Ok. 'Attack Grant' to the left wing next....!?

"Ugh, ugly. What's this?

Shakuma noticed strangely and groaned.

I can't move.

To be precise, Jun Min Sheng (Agility) had been significantly compromised.

The heavyweight knight's gear was too heavy with her arm strength (power) to travel only as slowly as a turtle.

"This is too heavy, Mr. Loran. I can't move."

(Ma'am, is this the countermeasure? Sure, I wouldn't stick to the front line if this was it..., but now...)

She saw the distance to the left wing.

I wanted to cast the magic of 'Attack Grant' on the White Soldier Battle Troops, but the distance was too far before I entered the magical range.

Shakuma desperately tried to get to the left wing side, but its speed was too slow.

Finally, a close enemy with the monster begins, and the battle begins.

The sound of swords and shields, axes and armor, caged hands and sticks bumping into each other echoes, and people's screams are heard attentively.

Usually it was a shakuma losing its sanity at this time and storming, but now I just had to move slowly.

(Ugh. You can't handle this ad hoc, depending on the circumstances, Lorraine.)

Loran laughed bitterly and watched her move noronorously.

(Hard to say ideal for sure, but still better than the troops draining meaninglessly. My first mission as a support magician is to prevent troop attrition)

With a slip of foot, she approached the place of destination and finally, nearly ten minutes after the battle began, reached behind the left-wing side and did the 'Attack Grant'.

When the left-wing White Soldier Battle Troops were wrapped in a red glow, until then they were almost fighting each other, in a state of push and push, kicking the enemy and turning to the side of the central Great Ghost (Oak) Troop to collapse the enemy's front.

When an enemy is defeated, the Attack Mage and Archer join the attack and hunt for no more than one.

Fighting in the same way afterwards, under the backup magic of Shakuma, the troops reach the transfer base of this hierarchy with minimal depletion.

By that time Shakuma's 'Attack Grant' and 'Defense Grant' were both B's.

The Lorans dived through the metamagic formation to reach five levels.

It wasn't a forest labyrinth like before, it was in a building somewhere.

This hierarchy was bound to be some point of rest (savepoint) inside the dungeon for some reason.

On one side of the wall are pictograms and murals.

In a rectangular space lined with columns like a temple, a water field is set up behind the room as if it were an altar.

The water field was filled with water, and a transfer magic formation was set up next to each other.

One was the Transition Magic Formation to go to the next hierarchy, and the other was the Transition Magic Formation to go back to the city.

Behind the fountain, on the altar on the shelf is placed a ring.

The next time I dived into this dungeon, it was an item to shortcut from the entrance to this place.

By using this item for up to thirty people, you can transfer to this location.

Loran decided to check the depletion of the troops.

When we had each squad report the degree of wear and tear, the White Soldier unit was missing gear everywhere, and there were few items left to start with the potion.

So Loran decided to take the ring and return one end.

The goal of troop development was achieved to some extent, and because I thought the cut was good, having been able to reach a savepoint when it came to the dungeon's offense.

Loran puts the ring in his hand and twists a transfer magic formation for his return.

Back in the city, I checked the time, 72 hours had passed since I entered the dungeon.

A row was attacked by intense sleepers as they returned to normal space with day and night.

Loran disbanded the unit when he told members of the unit the planned date for his next dungeon expedition and instructed them to repair their gear and keep their items in order by then.

Later, when Loran returned to his home, he collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep like sinking into a bottomless swamp.
