"Is this the hunting ground?"
"Kind of a killer landscape."
It was not the green mountain where the trees grew but the mountain where the rock skin was exposed that spreads in front of them.
Huge rocks and so on are rolling everywhere, and if they roll in the middle of climbing, they don't want it to spill.
A stiff, blue-skinned demon walking through such a place.
"Is that the demon here? Unlike before, it's kind of a powerful face."
"It does look sturdy for a man-made size. It could be a good response if you hit him."
A lizard-like face as I imagined. The skin looks very hard and some areas are pointy as thorns.
I'm not wandering around like the crocodile warriors are, to the extent that a few Lizardmans with swords are walking on the rocky mountains.
You're too far from where you are, and if you stay like this, you don't seem like a good fit for range hunting. Let's just check our status for now.

――――――
The level seems to be quite high. We're averaging about 50 levels now, so if we're going to raise the level, is that a good match there?
I feel like I'm a little stronger than a warrior when I see the status.
"Hmmm...... is this okay if we hunt in the usual pattern? Estelle, by magic..."
"We wait."
"What's wrong?
I just tried to get Estelle to attack me magically, but Knoll waits before I do.
"It is strange that so few are so far. It's hard to see in the rocky mountains, and it might come out of hidden areas additionally."
"Well, that's a bit unnatural compared to the hunting grounds we've had. Maybe we should stop shooting magic inadvertently."
If you do say so, it's odd that it's a hunting ground but only a few.
Some parts of the big rocks and terrain are decaying blind spots.
Maybe he's still lurking in a place like that.
"Fish and defeat the guy who's isolated to try. If this demon's gonna play an offensive role, is Nole gonna be all right?
"Sissha can fight too, and I think it's okay if Sissha leaves the missing parts to us while Ogura protects the two of us."
This time we put Knoll in front of us as an attacker, me in the middle, and Estelle and the others in the back.
If Knoll gets worse, get him to come to me, and I'll prevent Estelle and the others when the demons are about to turn to him.
I know it's okay because there's Sisha, but it's a priority to protect it just in case. If it was about one, I'd be able to afford Knoll alone.
"Good luck, Mr. Knoll"
"Then I'll go, no!
We had Cisha and Estelle do supportive magic respectively, and then make the magical attack an individual away from the other Lizardmans.
When the fireball landed on the demon, he raised his roar as he noticed our presence and saw us.
Then something pops out of the rock shadow around that Lizardman, one after the other.
"Hey, what!?
"I knew you'd come out all at once. Estelle asks for help as I step forward and receive enemies."
"Yeah, I got it."
It was the same Lizardman who came out, and eight Lizardmans, including the first one, run this way.
Each with a different weapon than a sword, axe, spear, or bow, it's like a party.
Knoll runs out to intercept it.
On the way Lizardman is coming this way, two of them get out of that group, put up a bow and release an arrow.
She played the flying arrow with her sword and made contact with the group without losing the momentum to run.
Lizardman with the first crossed sword is slashed by her but avoided, slashing her arm in return.
The next Lizardman with an axe swung up the axe behind Knoll's back, but before he swung it down, he was cut off both arms with each axe as he turned around.
Spears now pop out of that Lizardman belly part.
You've been judged useless, it looks like a Lizardman with a spear pierced you from your back.
Such an unexpected attack too, she plays with a shield and kicks it together with an individual pierced through her belly.
A magical backup attack was flown from Estelle around there, and the three attacked by Knoll were swallowed by fireballs without moving.
"Sisha is awesome too, but Knoll is still awesome..."
"It's a biological proximity position. Ha, that's lovely, Mr. Knoll... I want to talk to you once and for all"
I can't handle that multiple attack.
As soon as he made contact, Lizardman had tried to surround her and was in a state of confusion, but had avoided the attack as if he knew.
Besides, that spear attack was supposed to be a complete blind spot, but you reacted after seeing that it could be prevented?
Sissha, who was watching how it went, is kind of grumbling.
Is it the word we want to talk to each other or in the flesh...... I think I've got my eyes on you, but good luck with that, Knoll.
"Phew, one body isn't that strong, is it? It may be too early for Lord Okura."
"In the first place, you're not a demon whose avant-garde fights alone..."
Other individuals also defeated one after the other, as did Lizardman, who uses the remaining bow.
It would have been easier to use the bow because if the avant-garde individuals had been wiped out, they would have just run away by now.
Almost knocked Nor down, so me and Sisha haven't done anything.
At best, he played the flying arrow to protect Estelle.
The dropped item was Lizardman's skin and the weapon each had.
"I wonder if it feels like six proximities and two bows in one group?
"Maybe you shouldn't inadvertently attack the Lizardman you're looking around for."
Then I fought multiple bodies, but apparently only the first Lizardman is a lookout.
When they attack that Lizardman, they use the roar of their skills to summon their buddies waiting nearby.
Every group has six melee attacks and two flying arrows from a distance.
"Hmm, the collection of demon stones is not very suitable here..."
"You really change your motivation depending on the chatter. Don't be so obviously unmotivated."
It's still a little nasty over here compared to the northern cave where you can instantly kill them.
The hunting efficiency for gushing rare species is not very good.
Instead, the demon level is high, so maybe it's good for experience... but I'm a little unmotivated.
Looking at the rocky mountains to see if I would just hunt for rare species for now, a slightly black-colored Lizardman popped up.
"Hmm? Something's come up...... gee!?
"This might be a little unsavory,"
I was wondering if that was a rare species, but not just one came out one after the other and all eight black Lizardmans came out.
Not one like before, but just eight at the same time... I need to see the status.

――――――
Wow... you have both unique abilities and skills.
Besides, is it dangerous to deal with eight of these at the same time?
"Lord Okura, can I use your skills?
"What..."
I wouldn't lose, but if I was thinking about breaking a little bone and what to do... Knoll said he wanted to use his skills.
I feel a little excited about you wanting to use your new skills.
Hmm, it looks pretty tough fighting like this and I'd like to see what happened to her skills.
"Fine, but come back as soon as you're done knocking him out. If I fall again, it's bad."
"Yes, sir!
Allowed Knoll to use his skills, provided he came back before the effects expired.
She sounds happy, and the silver light envelops her whether she just used her skills.
And when I moved out, in an instant, I was packing my time with Keppur and waving my sword.
Not too fast, me, Estelle and Sissha didn't think, eh? That's enough to make a voice.
Without realizing that she had approached, the first Keppur attacked disappeared from the world.
In the aftermath of that attack, Lizardman's body, which was on the sword-wielding extension line, is shattered.
Apparently even a shockwave is coming out of the tip of the sword, part of Rock Mountain collapsed in the current attack.
"Wow... are you serious"
"This is the first time I've tried using my skills... it's amazing"
"Some say it's enhanced, but it's going to be so much more overwhelming."
You just realized you had your people down, and the rest of Keppur made a move to hit her.
But where it moved, there's too much difference to deal with Knoll now.
One hand, one foot and the other head are slashed off before Keppur moves out. I don't think there's much difference between a rare species and a regular Lizardman anymore.
The aftermath of the attack also begins to cause damage to the surroundings one after the other, and the other Lizardman springs up one after the other and begins to storm her.
All Keppur, who was already the first target, is gone, as are the other Lizardmans, a few of whom disappear without even leaving a piece of flesh just as Knoll waves his sword.
"Hehe, I'm in great shape right now! They don't feel like losing to anyone!
●
"Ugh... it hurts, it hurts..."
"I knew this was happening"
Knoll came back properly before the effect time ran out.
And when the time ran out, he suddenly collapsed on the spot.
In the meantime, I had Sisha do some healing magic, and by the time my mouth moved, I recovered, but I can't seem to move at all.
I have no choice but to carry it now.
"The magic of Cissha's recovery won't fully heal."
"Sorry I can't help you......"
At first, I couldn't even talk, but thanks to the magic of recovery, I was cured to the point of muscle pain.
The evolution of skills has apparently led to an evolution of even recoil...... as difficult to use as ever.
