Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"... shame. Act big and do it."

The type of guy who clears a game without ever using an elixir doesn't like the boss battle of Gorillas with disposable items, but that doesn't hurt him or her.

"Right. Just so we're clear, for all the hard work we've been doing here, hunting demons is a bribe."

"No body, no lid, but you're right."

If you go into the woods and hunt for one of the Stub Burrows, you can cover the cost of a few bursting arrows.

I know that.

But I feel wasted.

That's poverty.

Let's do it.

"Yep."

I'm not going to shy away if I decide.

Four more branches fall with bursting 'Explosion' and bursting arrows.

This eliminated the branches that would reach where I was, as expected, and also ensured the safety of the Hulka behind it.

I just want to keep going elsewhere for cover, but I have a problem.

It's a giant branch that stays rolling on the ground.

It has nothing to do with us attacking away, but it is a pretty dangerous obstacle to the Toyas wielding weapons near their roots.

I couldn't even leave it there, and I took out the rope and hurriedly wrapped it around its branches.

"- All right, Halka! Pull!"

"Yep!

The two of us drag each other down with a jerk and keep the branches away from the battle range.

Even when it comes to branches, size is the size. It's hardly the same as cutting down a single tree.

That's a total of four. Quite a heavy labor.

Two of us finish the work with our breath bouncing, and check on the situation of the other three.

For what it's not attacking, the most affordable seems to be Meatier, but all the branches are alive and well.

Natsuki is somewhat able to drop branches, but due to the weapon he is using, he is not able to handle the thick part.

Yuki seems to be the least affordable of the three.

There will also be differences in physical abilities, but the fact that branches dropped by 'blast flames' are inhibiting movement will also be one factor.

It sounds tough, but only Yuki is sure the offense is working.

"... All right, Haruka is better off with Natsuki, I'll head for Meatier"

Copy that.

Try harder, Yuki.

Me and Hulka started moving as we watched her tap 'Explosion' into the third branch as she screamed "of!" or something.

"Wow! Danger!"

Have you decided to deal with it with magic and bursting arrows for about 30 minutes?

The battle was still ongoing.

With most of Yuki's magic, and Hulka's blasting arrows, the attack from overhead was gone, but Elder Trent wasn't sweet enough to end it.

As the top became lighter, the root attack, on the contrary, became more intense, from underground to ground, to an attack that stretched its roots to pierce it.

It was also that attack that Toya flew away in a hurry right now.

I can't forbid war on thin roots that grow as if they were after Toya's ass. In a double sense.

Of course, Elder Trent may not mean that, but I absolutely don't like being stabbed in the ass and dying.

Even if you survive luck, you're going to ask Halka or Natsuki for treatment... which is quite humiliating, albeit magical.

Fortunately, with [enemy] skills, do you manage to perceive them?

"Hey, Nao. Can you handle it?

"I can't. If I use any more magic, I'll get in the way of my actions"

After I finished blowing the branches, I was carrying out a similar attack on the roots, but the roots with regenerative abilities couldn't be a glimmer.

In the case of branches, they broke at their own weight, but not in the case of roots, and if they were damaged to some extent, they would be repaired.

Still, by concentrating and adding an attack, I ripped off many roots, but not me, not Yuki's magic, and not Hulka's arrow anymore.

So the current situation surrounds us with five people, except Meetia and Hulka, who are shredding a little bit.

The job of the two Hulkas is to clean up the roots they cut off.

It is a plain but important role because if you step on it and fall on it, it may pierce your torso.

"But I think we're almost there, right?

"Why?"

"I haven't moved since earlier. It's not rooted enough to be used for travel anymore... then it's good, right?

"Just hope. - Hey! But yeah. That's possible, isn't it!

If you move, you fall.

Natsuki is right, if you reduced your roots to about that, it would help......

"Ha. Seriously, I want it to be. That's just tough."

I nod and shake up Valdish to Toya, who keeps attacking me with a rough breath.

But Toya's hopes were uneven, and he needed another half an hour before Elder Trent could fall.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Kuhah! Finally!"

"I'm tired..."

Watching Elder Trent fall and lay on the ground, making the sound of the ground and the branches breaking apart, he sits on the spot as Toya and Mary collapse.

Along the way, he kept moving as he shrunk his nerves for more than an hour, even though he had several "Health Recovery Strengths" on him. I guess that's where I can't help it either.

Elder Trent's still moving his roots a little bit, but he probably won't get up from that state... No, can't he get out of his mind?

"Yuki, Natsuki, I'm gonna prune your roots."

"Right."

"Yeah, it looks like he's still alive."

"Me too!

"Right. Then we'll have a pair of nuts, please, from the other side"

"I get it!

If you stick with Valdish from a safe place, the root movement slows down and eventually stops.

But just in case, we kept pounding the axe in until the [enemy] reaction completely disappeared, and finally our crusade against Elder Trent was over.

"You managed to defeat me safely."

"Good day. Are you hurt?

It was Toya and Mary who raised their hands to the question of Hulka.

"I was hit in the arm and finger. I don't think it's broken..."

"I have a chest... it hurts a little"

It just seemed impossible to keep avoiding all that attack.

He was beaten in several other places, but that seems to be the worst part.

"Let's start with Mary… Ah, Toya and Nao, turn around and be on guard."

Copy that.

Clad, it's a pretty good protective gear, but it's hard to even look at the affected area without taking it all off.

We turned to the woods to keep Mary out of sight and concentrated on [the enemy].

For quite a while, I've been doing a dong patch, but nothing has changed how the forest looks, whether no other demons are breaking into the boss area.

I would appreciate it there because it just can't be killed in small numbers when they seem to gather as much as they want, but it's a little strange considering that the boss can get out of the boss room.

Well, it's a dungeon, so there's as much wonder.

"Oh, this is a broken rib. Mary, you put up so well." Cure ""

"Huh, thank you, it's easier. It also hurt to breathe..."

"That's right. You used to fight in that state. You could have taken turns, right?

"No, because I am avant-garde!

From the conversation I hear, it seems that Mary's injuries were pretty bad.

Injury is inevitable because she's an adventurer, and it's the path she chose herself, but given Mary's age, would it be a little arrogant to feel so pathetic?

"Hey, can I look back now? Do you want me to treat you, too?

"Wait a minute... yeah, that's good"

Looking back at Hulka's voice, Mary had not yet worn a clasp, but her clothes were neat and she was sitting on the ground resting.

"Come on, I'll take care of it."

Quick to say, Toya also starts to take off her armor, but does it hurt when she moves her arm, she looks at me from time to time.

"Let's help."

"Oh, I'm sorry. It helps."

"Oh, my God, what. Look, Toya, Banzai."

"I'm a kid!

While arguing, for example, that the pain is definitely tight.

Sitting honestly on the spot, from Hail Toya, Natsuki also helps me pull through the claws.

I further removed my armor and exposed my arm that I was injured...
