Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready

The day after I took the quest, it was time for the professor to decide, so the three of us head to Reef's house.

Professor, but I got an email when I logged in, and I logged in early, so I'm going first, and so on.

When I arrived at Leaf's house, the professor was here first as per email, and I had a meeting with Leaf.

"Mmm, looks like you're here. I've been waiting for you."

"Hey, you've come a lot. Nice to meet you today."

"Oh, nice to meet you. So, what kind of meeting were you having?

"I was deciding on the scope of today's investigation. Walnut ruins are bigger than that. In the meantime, today, after we get to the ruins of Walnut, the main thing is to investigate the surroundings."

"Hmm. I'd like to investigate it over the course of a few days, if possible."

"It would also be cruel to ask the Gentiles to do that. Well, I'd appreciate it if you'd take it."

"That depends on today's results. Ready to leave?

"It's okay, it's done. Then let's go to the ruins."

After the two Leafs and professors rendezvous, they head out of the city from the Breezewood East Gate, riding beasts to the ruins of Walnut that it is northeast of the city.

Party formation takes the form of the addition of Prochion as a shield and Sirius as an avant-garde attacker to the four of us.

We'll have the leaves lead us to the ruins, and we'll have them step in after we make a safety check when we get there.

On the journey to the ruins, he was not attacked by particularly dangerous monsters, but reached places like open plains.

Apparently, this is the ruins of Walnut.

"Come on, this is the ruin of Walnut. That said, there's almost nothing left on the ground."

"What about the ground? Is the basement wide?

"That's not even what I'm saying. It has a big name such as" The Ruins of Walnut, "but this is where the old city became a ruin. I don't know what it was... yes, it was a city named 'Northern Wallnut'"

"That's right. How did this city disappear?

"It is the purpose of this investigation to uncover it. There are many mysteries about this city. The reason for the investigation is to know why it was destroyed, how long it was there, and what size of a city it was."

"Isn't it hundreds of years old if it's an elf city?

"Right, they say it's at least a thousand years old. But why hasn't this place been eroded by the woods yet, even though it is a ruin of a city a thousand years ago? Strange things are happening all over the place."

"... Sure, only this corner of the forest is broken. You want me to find out why?"

"Well, that's the place.... Let's say we investigate from here to the center for today"

"Copy that. So, where are the giant monsters and the guys that the adventurers were attacked?

"The place where it was attacked fell apart. If there was a nest, I could have predicted it was near the center..."

"... Isn't that dangerous to move towards the center?

"Well, some danger is well known. If there's no danger, it's a site so close that it's already been investigated."

"Neither does that. Well, let's get started."

"Right. I need an escort."

Monsters approached from afar as Leaf got off the horseman and began his work of investigating the ruins.

"Hmm. Early arrival, you're very welcome."

"That's how it is. … Hmm, Monster Name Lesser Basilisk, Is Level 58"

"You seem stronger than that. Yuki, thank you for your support. Prochion asks for a shield."

"Yeah, okay"

"Wong!"

Prochion provokes against the looming Lesser Basilisk from afar to gather targets.

There are a total of 3 Lesser Basilisks on their way, and if you're not alarmed, you can handle them well enough.

"Well, it looks like Prokion's got us a target, and we should start the attack."

"That's right. Let's go!

We attack a Lesser Basilisk opponent focused on Prochion.

Only level 58 and the high level opponents there took me a little while to defeat, but other than the time it took, I was able to defeat them without any particular problems.

"Hmm, the strength of the monster doesn't seem particularly problematic."

"... I hope so. You were high, and you couldn't be alarmed."

"It is. Sometimes I wonder."

"What do you care?

"It is a fantasy organism famous for its petrification when it comes to basilisk. but Prochion cannot be seen as petrified"

"Is it possible that a state anomaly called 'petrification' has not been implemented in the first place?

"There's a good chance that it will cause another state anomaly."

"... so is that. Be careful not to lose your mind."

"Right....... have we been able to secure this perimeter for now?

I'll look around, but I can't see the monster's shadow.

For once, I'll try to use my enemy skills, but I'm not responding.

"Apparently that's all the monsters are. No, you're stronger than you look, you guys."

"Thanks for that. I can do anything about it, but there's a chance that a monster might show up out of hand, so do it in self-defense."

"Even if I know.... Now, let me investigate your surroundings. Wait a while."

Digging back into the ground or dividing into the grass.

We'll be on alert while the leaves investigate the perimeter.

A few minutes to check the perimeter, the leaves called us in.

"You kept me waiting. We're done investigating this perimeter."

"Is that so? Have you figured anything out?

"Unfortunately, it turns out I don't know anything.... Well, I've been investigating things around here a couple of times, so naturally."

"So we're going all the way to where we haven't investigated before?

"No, I'll take the trouble, but I want to keep digging into the details. Maybe something's changed."

"If you say so, I'll take care of it."

"Nice to meet you, then. Let's move on to the next survey point."

Reef prompted me to head to the next survey point.

A few monsters strike me on my way to the survey point, but the only monster that strikes me is the Lesser Basilisk and the fight itself took some time to cut through without any problems.

While exterminating the monster, head to the next point and investigate the perimeter when safety is confirmed.

With that repetition, we proceeded to investigate more and more towards the center.

"Mr. Twa, are you aware of this anomaly around you?

"That's weird. So you're saying that monsters only have a lesser basilisk?

"It is. There should be other monsters in this wide plain. But since entering this ruin, all the monsters are only Lesser Basilisk."

"Sure you are. But when I say that, does it have anything to do with the fact that there was no Lesser Basilisk outside the ruins?

"That seems to have something to do with it too. Anyway, let's just focus on escorting."

"Right. Be careful."

"Sassy. We have to be careful not to get ambushed or anything."

"If I were to be ambushed, it would only come from the ground. Reef, what's the soil like around here?

"Right, I guess it's not too hard. But I've never heard of Lesser Basilisk diving into the ground."

"That's fine then. I've never been cautious."

"You're absolutely right. I'll be careful too."

Investigative work has continued even after the leaves have been alerted, travelling considerable distances.

It's been quite a while, and I think it's time to finish today's investigation.

"... Hmm, a lot of investigation went on in one day. Let's just say if we go a little further, we're done."

"Okay. Well, first..."

"You wait, Mr. Twa! The ground is shaking!

"What, an earthquake!

The ground rocked out, as the professor said, and after a while a giant lizard-shaped monster popped out of the ground.

"Is this the giant monster who attacked the adventurers!?

"I didn't know it would come from the ground more than... Monster Name Huge Lesser Basilisk, level is 63!

"Copy that! Keep the leaf down. We'll deal with him."

"I got it. I'm sorry. It's nice to meet you."

The level of fugeless server basilisk is 63.

In contrast, our level is 64 for me and Yuki, 63 for Illis, and 69 for the professor.

Almost identical on a level, probably a boss monster fugeless basilisk opponent.

"Prochion get that guy's attention. Yuki asks for a buff, the professor asks for a debuff. Me and Iris, we're launching an attack on Sirius!

"Copy that. Come on, let's go!

"Okay. Be careful, people!

"Rikai. Go!!

The fugeless server basilisk is huge only because it is named fuge.

Probably about 6 meters.

Despite its giant and lizard-shaped appearance, the motion is quite agile.

However, Prochion is not inferior to speed, and he attracts the attention of his opponents well and stops them.

A professor grants multiple debuffs in that gap, and Yuki buffs everyone in the party.

When you are ready to attack, start attacking all at once and build up the damage.

"... Hmm, more HP for a party-level boss, but not very aggressive, huh?

"Right. Three more HP bars, but that's all you got, boss?

"... Twa, Professor! The boss has started a different move!

It was a fuge-lesser basilisk who was chasing the Prochion thing around all of a sudden when he stopped moving, he acted to twist his tail.

And as I gained momentum and swung my tail, an electric shock poured all around me.

"Does this guy have thunderbolt attributes?!?

"That's how it is! Prochion and Sirius have been electrocuted!

"Apparently, it won't get this far, but be careful with the distance!

"Sounds like it.... anti-shock!

"Apparently, the abnormality has recovered....... Resist Shock"

We have to watch out for electric shocks.

"That's right. We can't even say there's no attack that can get us this far."

"Have you ever been cautious? Take care of Yuki, too."

"Yeah, okay"

Apparently he's not just the boss with high HP.

I don't have a problem with thunderbolt resistance myself, but there's nothing I can do if I get attacked around.

Fugelesser basilisks that still use a variety of attacks afterwards, including lightning strikes from tail swinging, lightning brace attacks, and electric shocks coming at this one like a laser.

He was a troublesome opponent with high HP and ranged attacks for the rear guard, but he managed to repel it by taking time.

... Yeah, I'm glad the force push from the amount of healing items worked.

"… apparently defeated"

"Seems so. It made me struggle a lot."

"Considering that there is no difference in level, it is sufficient.... Well, I knocked down the fugeless server basilisk, but I wonder what we should do from here on out"

"Right. Would you like me to look into it a little further, if I could?

In the wake of the end of the battle, a leaf came forward who was watching more behind us.

"Hmm, a little further would be fine, but is that okay?

"Oh, no problem. I was able to defeat a mysterious giant monster because of it. I want to investigate the center of this gap."

"... then we'll find out a little further. Is Yuki and Iris all right?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

I'm fine, too.

"Thanks, let's move on"

As we bypassed the hole where the fugeless server basilisk came out and moved on, there was a crater-like place within the plain.

A peek inside found a nest near the centre that seemed to belong to Lesser Basilisk.

"... I see. Looks like the Lesser Basilisks came from over there."

"Sounds like it.... There's a big hole in the crater wall. Looks like the Huge Lesser Basilisk just hit through here."

"Well, it's a hassle when this happens. That nest will get in the way to investigate the center any more..."

"That's just not possible with this force."

"I know. That's enough for today. Just because they found that nest is enough."

"... how about an investigation into the ruins at the heart?

"That's refreshing about you. Even if we look into other aspects, the Lesser Basilisks are in the way. We need to do something about that nest first."

"That's right. We're going to pull it up here today."

"Right. Let's go back to the city before they find us."

Afterwards he turned back to the city without stopping by on the way.

I guess I was fortunate to be able to turn back safely without being attacked by the Lesser Basilisks on my way back.

"... Now, today's investigation, the mere fact that the presence of the disturbers has been revealed is a sufficient achievement. I didn't know what was going on until now."

"That's fine. So, what do we do now?

"Don't be in such a hurry. First, today's reward."

More than a dozen fortified crystals were given to me by the leaf.

Apparently this is the reward of the day.

"Well, future plans, but the investigation will be suspended once and for all. I can't take it easy to investigate when I find out there's a threat like that."

"I guess.... Wasn't that site investigated because of the Lesser Basilisks?

"Maybe. It's a strange story that even though all those threats are by the city, they haven't been exterminated..."

"That's true. … but we weren't attacked when we pulled up either"

"That's also a strange story. Either way, we'll have to find out what's going on with the entire site first. Your investigation is next."

"Secret Quest: The Warcraft Nesting in the Ruins has occurred. Do you want to order?

Secret quest again?

Looks like you're on a similar quest next time.

The Leaf's escort is off quest target, so it looks like you don't have to.

"Okay, next investigation, can you take this on, too? I'd be glad if you could take it on."

Next up is a complete combat quest, right?

Well, what's the matter...
