The monster called Likkou Jellyfish is not that rare among S rank monsters.

A monster that prefers a dark place with a grip, it is a type of S rank monster that players often see.

The licko jellyfish has a shape similar to a slime to be mistaken for a large slime, but it is known that it is a monster of a completely different kind than a slime.

Just by looking at it, it must be about two meters of clear slime. However, on the surface of the puffy body, a number of folds are attached vertically, and the tip of the folds emits light.

Magic attacks are not very effective and are almost nullified. On the other hand, physical attacks are considered effective... but when attacking, bodily fluids spew out and become powerful paralyzing poison, making it a very troublesome monster.

There is no nucleus like a slime, so I have no choice but to continue to physically attack, but then the body fluid, which is a strong paralysis poison, will come out only for the injured amount, and it will become harder to attack.

In addition, if the tentacles, which are also the attack method of the licko jellyfish, grow from around ten bodies and get caught once, they will continue to be injected with paralytic poison, numb and unable to move, and they will be melted alive and eaten.

Although it was a very scary and strong monster, it was not an unusual monster, so I knew how to attack it.

It's a long-range weapon.

The tentacles move very fast, and it's hard to avoid them, but they can stretch up to a few meters. Moreover, there was no magic, and the movement of the main unit was very slow.

Therefore, it is said that the easiest way to defeat them is to repeat the attack with a ranged weapon from a distance beyond the reach of the tentacles.

However, although it was equal to no defense, it took a lot of time to defeat them even if they were attacking with arrows.

It was a monster with low defense but high health like an idiot.

It's a bit of a hassle for those of us who don't have a lot of ranged means.

"What are you talking about?"

If I'm seriously bothered, is Efraim stupid? I'll say it with a face like that.

Huh?

If it's a ranged attack, you'll be there.

Me?

"According to the report, I heard that just throwing a stone gravel can make me throw a powerful throw that will blow my head off with every armor." If you can throw that power, you won't be an enemy if you only have stones. ”

"Ahh..."

For me, simply throwing a stone at it didn't recognize it as an attack, and it fell out of my head, but it was definitely a ranged attack.

However, since it is only a throwing stone, it has the power, but it has the disadvantage of low accuracy. However, we can get as close as a few meters to the licko jellyfish, and it moves slowly. No matter how much Nork I can guess. It wasn't even a no-kon.

"You can use Earth Magic or Tree Magic that has the effect of physically attacking, but even if you're dealing with that number, you don't have enough magic power." When dealing with the Likkou jellyfish, if you throw stones at them, they will be eliminated as soon as possible. "

Stone throwing is usually more powerful than bows or bow guns. If the stone thrown by human force is more powerful and has a higher accuracy rate, no bow or bow gun will be developed.

But if that's normal... My physical abilities are unusual because they belong to the transferor, that is, the player. Yes... I've always denied it, but I'm not normal. To be clear, my stone throwing is stronger than a bad bow or bow gun. I don't think it can be used against monsters with high defense against drifting rocks, but it should be easy to slaughter if it's about the size of a liquorice jellyfish that doesn't have any defense.

"If you ask me, yes." It feels weird to be able to defeat S-rank monsters with properly picked stones... but it's good to be able to defeat them. "

I fought a monster called the Likkou Jellyfish several times during the Game Age. However, at that time, I was attacking with an unfamiliar bow gun.

Although it's a super realistic RPG, it's an RPG, so I used weapons to attack it. This was normal, and there was no idea to pick up the stone that was falling on the ground and throw it.

However, as a result of this transfer, I was able to do various things that I hadn't thought of during the game. I need to soften my head and think about it...

"That's right, it's a good countermeasure to the lilac jellyfish, but it's not an easy journey." It seems that there are S rank monsters up ahead. "

It's not just the Likkou Jellyfish, isn't it?

"Of course, I heard that the only monster that stands out at night is the lilac jellyfish, which is home to a variety of monsters."

Much more dangerous than passing through the Great Abamas Valley.

It seems that monsters below A rank have been identified, but in this chaos, A rank monsters are hunted. "

"This is a bad place..."

"If you don't feel confident passing through here, I heard that there is a crack that can pass through the mountain range from here to the east." From there, you can go east, avoiding the chaos and heading north from the outside of the mountain range. With that route, the ranks of the monsters that appeared were low, and the numbers were low. Of course, it takes a lot longer than going straight.

However, it is better to make a decision before you enter the gate, that is, here.

It seemed like a relatively safe area between the Chaos Valley and the Great Abamas Valley. Once you're inside, you can't make it easier whether you're going forward or turning back. "

"It's up to you to decide whether you want to continue in this hole or go out and take a detour..."

I'd like to hear everyone's opinion, but if this place is relatively safe, let's take a break first. ”

As I say many times, it is precious to have time to rest on a journey like this. I rest when I can. This is an iron rule.

Therefore, it is not possible to start a fire on the boulder, but it is necessary to take a rest while eating something that can be easily eaten.

Between the passage through the forest of the Abamas Grand Canyon and the chaos of Chaos, there is a place like a void (beak) where no plants grow, and there are not many monsters in it.

Unlike in the woods, the ground is peeled with black rocks that look like solidified lava. If you fall, it feels dangerous, so maybe the monsters also hate it.

The sky part is sky, but I can't see at night, so I don't see any flying monsters.

Rock turtles ate the bariborous ground, but a similar layer of lava could have been found beneath the humus in the Great Valley.

In that case, the ground inside the chaos centipede would be in the same stratum, and it was necessary to pay attention to the state of the ground during the battle.

"I'm done with my stomach, so let's talk about the future."

First, avoid this zone and make a detour, or go straight...

Of course, it's best to cut straight, but there are S rank monsters, so think carefully. If there is even a little anxiety, I would like to consider taking a detour and discuss it. "

"To that end, I will once again tell you as much information as I know about the future."

Before entering the Great Abamas Valley, I heard a story that I had heard once, but in order to get a good grasp of the details, Efu explains the "Chaos Tantrum" in detail.

To sum it up...

This chaotic centipede is home to many species of S rank monsters, and it is a dangerous area to be hunted and hunted repeatedly.

Among them, the central area where the lake is located is the best place to secure water, and it is also a popular spot for monsters. Therefore, it seems that the most powerful monsters in this lagoon are gathered near the lake.

Of course, we can avoid this lake and head north. However, if it deviates from the lake, the time to reach the north side will be slower by the amount of time it deviates from the lake, and if it takes a large detour, it will be no different from taking a detour across the mountain range.

If you're in a hurry, you should go straight north, but it's more likely that you'll be fighting powerful monsters in the center. On the other hand, if you try to avoid fighting powerful monsters, it will take time and lose the advantage of passing through chaos...

We know that this chaotic place is quite large, with a slight view of the mountain range on the north side. As wide as that, the distance changes considerably depending on which part of the circle goes north.

Thinking about avoiding the center and just skipping the route slightly, there will be a few days of error before you reach the north side.

One of the things I'm curious about here is what to do with the lake itself... but when you think you're going north at the fastest, there's a way to walk straight down the lake.

This chaotic centipede is a complete caulking type, the center seems to be almost horizontal, and the lake has a very shallow bottom and wide horizontal shape, so you can walk across the lake. However, of course, even though the bottom is shallow, it is in the water. It's slow, and it's very dangerous.

I don't know how deep the actual water is. For example, if it's about the depth of your ankle, it's like a large puddle of water, and you don't need to be so vigilant, but if it's just as deep as you can reach, it's the same as fighting underwater.

Although the whole lake is not visible, the lake is quite large from the top. We will need to discuss what to do, including whether to cross the lake.

This is what Effe told me.

"If you want to avoid the chaos itself, you should decide it here, move east across the mountain range, and take a detour to the north." It seems that the only way to cross the mountain range is here, so if you give up and go back along the way, you will waste a lot of time. "

"I'm glad you've explained everything."

"I explained it for Nil-sama. I can't thank you enough."

"Oh, I see. But, thank God."

”Hmph!”

I laugh bitterly and thank him because I know that his words are not malicious words.

"Now I know the general situation."

Nil writes this information in a cute notebook, and we continue to talk while looking at the pale light of the lantern.

"The alternative is to avoid the chaos and head east, then head north from the outside of the mountain range." The route continues straight into the chaos. And the route that goes in the middle of it. These are the three. "

"The direct route is about five days. The route to detour is around 20 days, right?"

“But I guess.”

When that happens, the route to the middle will be twelve to thirteen days by simple calculation.

"There's quite a difference..."

"The route that goes in the middle is just in the middle, so in fact, it is possible to skip a little route. This is just a guide."

The foe gave me some information about the monsters that live there, but it seems that we can't honestly rely on any information other than that of the Japanese jellyfish.

There are almost no people passing through such a dangerous place, and the information obtained by the Effesters is a long time ago, and they don't know what kind of monsters are currently inhabited.

Only the lilac jellyfish can be confirmed visually by the habit of attracting prey with light at night, but other than that, it seems that they will not know until they actually get inside.

“How much risk do you take…?”

"Hmm... I honestly think it's okay to cut straight through." I know that monsters are S ranks, and I think there are strong enemies, but I wonder if this member can defeat them. "

"It's probably not a good question to decide appropriately. This is why the bat (this is how it is)..."

"What? Are you selling them in quarrels?" It's doggy. ”

What?!

What?!

"Mr. Effe. Mr. Heine. You can't quarrel.”

This time, it wasn't a blur, but Nil came in to stop it.

"I'm sorry, too."

Effe was the one who immediately reflected on it.

"Oh, you can see the drooping tail and ears."

"What?! You!"

"Hey! Stop! Mr. Heine won't say that either. If it hadn't been for that, the argument would have been over before that, right?"

In addition to Nil, I also put a stop to the slack.

"This place is definitely not safe, so it's not a time to argue."

"I-I know..."

"You don't understand, so this is what happened, right?"

"Ugh..."

It won't be a serious fight, so it's still good, but I don't know if I can handle it anymore... As far as the two of you can see, I don't think it's that inappropriate a personality...

"Let's leave the relationship first and decide what to do next."

Heine voted straight ahead. What about Effe? "

"... I see... honestly, I don't know how far I can go with one arm. I've been able to fight quite well in the battle so far, but if several monsters attacked at once, can I cope with them...?"

“Don't think about dealing with everything by yourself.”

Before the end of the word of the Ephraim, Nil looks at the Ephraim, and says:

“Now we're at a party. I know how black dogs fight, but forget about it and feel like you're fighting with us.”

"Together...."

After hearing Nil's words, Efu looks a little bit bitter.

"... for us Black Dogs, the troops were only those who had gathered to accomplish a single mission.

If we're going to accomplish our mission, we're going to sacrifice some of our troops, but we're all going to think that Black Dog is... That was normal, and it was normal... "

If you look at the behavior so far, you can roughly understand what kind of organization a black dog is. It's true what the Effe said, and I'm sure it's really that kind of organization that killed them.

"So... what should I do..."

“It's easy. I can't do what I can't do. Decide that you can do what you can and share it. That's all.”

"Eh...? But..."

“Yes, that doesn't mean we fight together.

But if you share it with us, we'll all cover what Ef-san can't do. ”

"Huh?!"

Black dogs don't take care of their peers.

I will not waste my fighting power, and I will try my best to minimize the damage to myself.

However, rather than thinking about our people, we are thinking about our overall strength. It's not about feelings and connections for fellow citizens.

In other words... there's no such thing as friendship or trust.

It's not easy for the fighters who have been fighting like that to fight with us now.

Protect yourself. If you die without strength, it is your responsibility. I don't expect my people to put their lives before theirs.

And yet, at this party, people cover what they can't, and they stand up for their lives. If you ask me how to fight like that, I can't help but be puzzled.

But that's how we fight together.

"Of course, but if we can't do it, I'll have Ef-san cover it." That's how we fight together to make up for each other's shortcomings. "

"Is that... me...?"

"Yes, we're already friends."

……………

It seems that Effe doesn't know how to react.

But after hearing Nil's words, it looks like he's trying to take them. Maybe it's just my imagination... but if I'm a real ally, at least that's what the Eff will try to do.

"I, I... I lost one arm, so I had to aim for a decisive attack with less effort." That's why it's a little difficult to control the opponent's behavior, such as limiting the opponent's movement... "

And when he had finished swallowing the words of Nil, Eph says so in a small voice.

"Then I should make it up to you." I have a lot of confidence in my workload, so I can afford it! "

In response to the words of the ef, Saratan returns.

Efu is surprised that Suratan returned the word.

”Well... I don't have any defense...”

“That's my job, isn't it? I'll take care of the defense."

Next, Nil responds.

Effe is good at identifying and slashing into battle. In that case, I think it would be best to match the movement of the rear guard... "

Effe confessed to something I don't like. Let's talk about a lot of things in this way, so I'll name the good things about Eff and then I'll see Heine.

"...... I'll cover it!" So don't look at me like that! "

Heine doesn't release provocative words here, and honestly... I can't, but he promises to help the Eff.

It may be necessary to argue once in a while, but don't you think we can stop arguing every time?

Ugh...

Even Efu?

"Ah, ahh."

I hope this won't make you two feel better... even if you don't go, you won't have to argue with each other...

Well then, let's rub our movements together as well.

That's right.

And the rubbing of the fruitful movement with the foe was done for a while.

The rubbing itself was done once before, but it was more detailed than that, and the discussion to grasp each other's strengths, weaknesses, and specialties was said to be a meaningful time.
