"Fuck you, Power Smash!

Illis is vigorously wielding both hand axes to harvest (...) and pick (...) Trent.

Instead of the bow I usually use, the Iris gear today is a two-handed axe.

It looks pretty heavy, but it seems to be lightweight enough to handle it fully with even a few STRs.

I'm also being slashed by Trent with an axe in one hand, and Yuki, who accompanies me, is now attacking Trent with both hands axes.

Sirius and Prochion are in charge of perimeter vigilance, and then Zinbae of Ketsey, Illis.

The place where we are is commonly known as Forest Dungeons or Forest Dungeons, a forest of confusion.

Locally it hits the northeast of the fourth city.

Why we're here was to collect material in relation to the bespoke request we received yesterday.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Forest of confusion? What are you gonna do by going out of your way to that place?

After the Rock 'n' Roll and the others return, they neck the proposal that came out of Illis.

The forest of confusion is certainly a good place to gather materials because it repops over time, besides being home to many Trento demons...

"Because of this, I've come to a higher level, and I'm not going to do the material collection on my own. Plus, if you want to collect wood of high quality, you need to take it down in a special way, and because of that, let's go together."

"Well, it's not a bad idea to collect materials on your own. What kind of special knockout is that?

"That's hey, knock down the main part of the enemy with just an axe attack. That will increase the amount of wood you drop and improve the quality."

"Hmm, I've heard that, too. Is that why Illis asked me for an axe during this time?"

"That's what I say. Because of this, I thought I'd take this opportunity to stock up on a lot of Trentwood."

"Well, it's not a bad story... I have plans for tomorrow, so I can't."

"I'm sorry, but I can't either. Then will the power be all right?

"Hmm, me and Twa, and then I think Yuki would be fine with it."

"Yuki's participation is confirmed."

"If Twa would come, wouldn't he join us in two replies?

"... well, so is that. I don't have any business tomorrow, so why don't we hang out in the woods of confusion?"

"Yay. Then when Yuki gets back, we don't have a meeting or anything."

"Yes, yes, copy that."

"Oh, and Dwan. I want an axe for Twa and Yuki."

"Is Yuki's lady for Twa anyway? Existing two-handed axes will suffice for the lady, but I guess I'll have to create a new one for Twa."

"Really?

"Mm-hmm. Twa's a fox beast. That STR is as low as a glass runner. If it's a decent weight axe, I can handle it a lot. Twa, would you prefer a two-handed axe or a one-handed axe?

"I'm assuming you use an axe too...... one hand axe would be nice because one hand wants to hold a gun for restraint"

"Okay. We'll finish it by tomorrow."

"I'm home.... are we all having some sort of meeting?

"Ah, Yuki, welcome back. Um..."

In this way Yuki also became involved, and the journey to the forest of confusion was confirmed tomorrow.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Is this the forest of confusion..."

"Yeah, that's right. Without a transfer portal and an outer wall near the entrance, it wouldn't be much different from a normal forest."

The day after dawn, we were coming to the woods of confusion.

Travel time is less than 30 minutes using a horseman, not a lot of distance.

The forest of confusion is a forest surrounded by outer walls like walls of fortifications, except the entrance.

The height of the trees is such that trees can be seen standing on the other side of the outer wall.

"It's a dungeon, isn't it?

"It's a dungeon. It's a dungeon in the form of walking around the woods about two kilometers away."

"That's an open-field dungeon with no aisles or anything. Surely there are many sampling and logging points inside."

"Yes, yes. So if it's level enough, it's a delicious dungeon there for the production profession."

"Speaking of which, you haven't harvested or logged much lately."

"When I said that, I would have dived into a mine in GW (Golden Week).... Well, I haven't done any sampling or logging before that."

"Well, if they're Twas, it's quicker to buy them at the market than to go get them yourself. In my case, I could pick it up on my own."

"Wood is very high and low in quality. The quality will have changed considerably depending on whether you have a high ranking [logging]"

"Well, that's what I say. Then, when you sign up for the portal, go inside."

"Well, we can't help talking here. Let's go in."

"Right. Let's go inside."

We complete the portal registration and enter the dungeon.

Stepping into the dungeon, the smell of the thick trees stood up.

"Is that it? There's an entrance, but there's no more walls?

I am surprised there is no wall that Yuki should have looked around and surrounded the forest.

"Because there are no walls in the dungeon and they're starting to loop. When I say loop, it doesn't mean I'm suddenly on the other side of the dungeon."

"Sure, it's a hassle to fly in the right place... either way"

"We've also established a route that uses that loop mechanism backwards to reach the boss in about 10 minutes, hey. We won't use that route while we take down Trent. Oh, this is an axe for Towa and Yuki."

That's what I said and handed it to you is a one-handed axe made of Dwan and a two-handed axe.

Both come with a STR bonus for a 9-Star item.

"Uh, [Axe], I don't have the skills, but are you okay?

"It's okay. [Logging] If you have skills, you still have a damage bonus. If you use it for that, then you'll remember, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Nothing. [Axe] It's not like I want to learn my skills... well, I've never crossed one and I'll take it.... So, what are your plans and formations for today?

"Towa and Yuki also want you to cooperate in Trent logging (...) harvesting (...). Because if you take care not to attack the main unit with anything other than an axe, that's fine. I don't mind baking monsters other than Trent because they are mainly insect and plant based and you have most of the fire attribute weaknesses. I don't know if the formation feels like we're going to fight alone when we go on with three of us and three of our families and defeat Trent."

"Well, for the most part, I get it. Anyway, if you just watch out for Trent, you'll feel fine."

"That's the place -. And if there's a logging or sampling point along the way, I'll pick it up."

"Copy that. Do you want to go then"

I decided to incorporate the one-handed axe I received into my Weapon Change pattern and start acting on it.

It's also a hassle to remove the axe from the inventory.

And the main wepon is a handgun.

The reason is that we can't take advantage of the range of rifles in the woods where the rays don't go through, and we don't really want Magi Magnum to grow in this dungeon that will already be an understated opponent.

Let's shoot it out with a handgun with room for growth.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

And the scene went back to the beginning, and the three of us repeatedly attacked Trent with an axe as soon as we found him.

Confusion Forest already gets a fair amount of Trentwood because Trent-based monsters have a fairly high pop rate.

In addition to Trentwood, considerable quantities of herbs and wood were also available at regular collection and logging points.

I don't know if it should be said that Yuki and I are safe, but I have acquired [Axe] skills and am currently growing in progress.

By the way, the reason Iris used Yuki's axe as a two-handed axe is because the sword is a two-handed weapon, so either way, one hand will be empty, apparently.

"All right, that's enough."

Apparently, the logging of the 15th Trent has been completed.

The drops are... two "top (...) quality (...) Trentwood."

Originally, 'Fine Trentwood' isn't quite a rare drop, but they have a good chance of falling off using this method.

In fact, you get more fine Trentwood than regular Trentwood.

"Four fine woods this time? Everybody?

"I have three fine Trentwoods."

"That's two for me. Isn't it going pretty well?

"Yeah, yeah. Looks like we're getting together okay. Above all. With that said, Twas' skills still haven't evolved?

"The level of [logging] was originally low... but since I got here, it's gone up to 42."

"I'm 40, right"

"Then can two or three more Trent fellings evolve? Evolve when you can, because it's easier to get more."

"I get it. Then we'll go next."

And I arrived in front of the boss room for less than an hour to keep walking in the woods overlapping stops.

It should be noted that my [logging] skills and those of Yuki have evolved to [logging ii] as planned.

"Hmm, 21 Trent encounters in a circle. Was it a little less?

"Really? I feel like there was plenty..."

"I heard you'd run into about 25 of them."

"Isn't that a range of errors? It's faster than that."

"So is that. The boss is Ibiltorrent or Ibilent, so attack the main unit as much as you can with an axe."

"Copy that. They're both using the magic of evil attributes... Yuki is a healer in the basic rear guard"

"Yeah, I get it. Then I'll put my weapon back on the sword."

"Then we're ready, boss. Go!

It was Ibile Ent who was there when Illis opened the door to the boss room.

"Yeah, I guess this is lucky! Ibir Entwood has better material and if you defeat it well, you can get tons of them!

"Yes, yes, I'll do that after I knock you down safely. They're the same."

"Yes. But I think this power would be an easy win!

The level of Ibir Ent is 41, almost equivalent here.

Start by approaching and shooting out disturbing branches with a handgun for site destruction.

It revives over time, but if you knock it down before it does, it's fine.

Occasionally, the surrounding walking tree appears, but Sirius and Zinbae are at your disposal.

I suppose I would like to knock him out with an axe because Trentwood drops from the walking tree as well... I just don't have room to turn my hand to you.

The easier it was to end the battle with Ibruento, given the low level difference.

It seemed like a big shot down all the branches that would be the starting point of the attack at first.

Whatever, I wish I was just paying attention to the magic that sometimes flies and the attack by roots from the ground because there's no attack from the branches.

The battle lacked exuberance but the drop was tasty instead.

I got 6, 10 Yuki, and a total of 23 fine Ibill Entwood with 7.

Boss, I only got soggy items from the crusade reward chest, but the original purpose was to collect material, starting with wood, so it's fine.

hanging out with iris who cared so much about this for a total of 3 weeks, iris is a hockface who got so much wood that he didn't have to refill it for a while.

My [Axe] skills have also been acquired because I have kansted [one-handed Axe] skills.

Yuki also acquired [both hand axes] skills, apparently.

You won't get much chance to use it, but it won't hurt to keep it because there's supposed to be a bonus in the STR.

With such Illis on the sidelines, me and Yuki were taking a break in the safety area behind the boss room.

"Ha, you're just tired, Twa."

"Well. I just didn't think I'd go around three times."

"But Iris is happy, and it's nothing?

"You're good enough not to have to worry about Trent's stock for a while. 'Cause the wood drains on something."

"Right... is that it?

Apparently Yuki discovered something looking around.

"What's wrong with you?

"There's a trail that seems to lead to the back, but what is that?
