To elucidate the anomaly in the Elf Forest, we headed to the depths of the Algud Mountains.

... I wanted to go there, but I decided to crush the torrent around Satoshi first.

If Trent sits close to the barrier, the vitality will be absorbed and the effect will be negative.

We came home once without staying in the Elves' house, and the next day we came back to the woods ready.

I didn't think there was a labyrinth, so I was ready to leave the house for a long time.

Mofut originally set up an environment where he could spend the whole time in a pet shed, but Nol was worried about it, so it would be reassuring.

That's not all. If we stayed in the Elves, it could have disrupted the residents.

Some inhabitants say that if people close to the hostilities suddenly come to stay in the house, even if Gralier and the others invite them, they won't be satisfied.

That's why I put a beacon in the safe zone near the house so I could move around quickly, and I'm still in the woods today.

Gralier was surprised at the long-range transfer of the beacon, but he was convinced when he described it as Estelle's special magic tool.

It seems that Estelle can do some long-range transfer on her own, but there are many constraints and it seems that preparation is quite necessary.

The beacon that makes it easy to do that is really the most broken performance among gacha items.

I was hunting torrents with several elves, including Gralier, who was spiritualized.

Right now, in front of us, Martina is piercing a debuffed torrent with a Freesia arrow.

"I got another one!" You did it, Martina-chan! "

"Yeah! That's Freesia!" That's amazing! "

Thanks to Martina's debuff!

As if they were completely moody, they were raising one hand to each other and high-fiving each other with their bread.

Martina is able to inflict quite a number of Debuffs on the opponent from a distance by possessing Ghost.

Freesia's high-fire bows combine to create a wind hole in Trent's body like tofu.

It's a real blessing to have Martina with us, to be able to work together as much as we can at a distance.

The accompanying Gloriers saw the battle between Freesia and the others and no longer looked dumbfounded.

Ah, this is the same reaction I had when I was hunting with Deus and Gretel.

{...... I knew it, but your powers are still abnormal.And the girl named Freesia...... I've never seen an elf with such a bow arm. ”

"They have bows too, but are elves good at handling bows?"

"Elves who can listen to nature's voices are said to be good compatible with bows.In fact, most elves were better at dealing with bows than swords.If you are a proven person, you can read the wind and listen to the surrounding sounds, so you can shoot through the target even if you are waking up.The materials that make bows and arrows are also familiar, and the spirits are easy to inhabit and effective in application.I like it, but I can handle it. "

Oh, that's why you often have a bow called an elf.

In other words, does Freesia demonstrate that superhuman skill by being in harmony with nature?

An elf like the majestic Gralier would be persuasive, but I can't say I think Freesia is...

"And that bow and arrow are not normal."The power of the spirits is quite strong... that's why it has the power of a spirits tree.Unconsciously, she also seems to be using Spirit Magic. ”

Huh, Freesia's doing Spirit Magic!?

"Otherwise, the power and trajectory of the arrow cannot be explained."It was a bow and arrow, as if it were part of her body.Even if I used it, I wouldn't be able to draw that much power.I can't believe you're such a high elf...... ”

If you're using Spirit Magic unconsciously... then surely that unexplained arrow movement isn't surprising.

After all, the arrow that was fired from the top fell vertically over the opponent's head, or it was bent at a right angle and centered against the enemy in the blind spot.

And since the rocks are lightly shattered and have ridiculous power, I'm afraid I'll be relieved of Mr. Gralier's story.

Bows and arrows are Freesia-only gear, and they're just as familiar as they are part of the body.I was surprised that it was equivalent to a spirit tree.

After that, we keep hunting torrents, and you can hear the Elves and Gralier talking.

Sir, it looks like our attack has become less effective on Trent after all.

”... my worst concerns have come to an end.”

“What do you mean?”

We are exercising spirit magic with the help of the spirits in this forest.And the torrents feeding on the energy of the land.The more they breathe, the more resistant they become, and the less effective our spiritual spells will be.Not only that, but the power of the spirit is gradually being lost, and the power of the spirit magic itself is being weakened. "

"It's a vicious circle, isn't it?"As our powers weaken, our opponents' immunity rises... the more time goes by, the more disadvantageous we become. "

"Hmm, it's a troublesome tree." Let's cut it all down. "

Like Sisha said, you have such a troublesome habit.

Perhaps that's why Gralier and the others began to lament that they were deficient, or perhaps that they were slowly losing the ability to attack Trent effectively.

But that doesn't matter to us, so let's keep knocking them down and getting rid of the torrent from the perimeter.

I was so enthusiastic that I kept hunting smoothly, but suddenly a little open spot appeared.

At the center, even a gigantic forest tree is towering above its head, and there are a large number of small trees surrounding the tree.

Freesia screamed at the sight of the overwhelming sensation.

"Heihachi! That tree is also a monster!" There are lots of little ones around! "

"... it's too big. Maybe it's not Grandis?"

{Hmm... you're probably right, Grandis.I can't believe the anomaly had gone so far...... ”

I knew it...! I knew it, Grandis!

It was a Trent monster I used to fight in the woods near Jerez.I used to have a Diabolus inside of him... I don't think he's going to be inside this time, either?

"It's been a long time since I've dealt with you before."Even then, you could have defeated it without struggling so much.

"It's because I've been fighting twice.It was more impressive when the Diabolus came out of it. ”

I don't think Grandis would have a hard time with us right now.

"Although Grandis is a pretty strong monster... we're not going to be able to defeat him under the circumstances."I'm sorry, but could you defeat me?

"Yes, I don't mind." It's a monster I've fought before, so I don't think it's a problem. "

It was true that Grandis was much stronger than Trent, but the second time he fought, one of the skilled Nords was defeated.

They're not our enemies, they're much better at leveling up and gear.

But I had to check with Gralier before I could fight.

It's better not to cause much damage to the forest, right?

"... I want you to do that, but I don't think Grandis is going to do that either."He's absolutely immune to magic.The number of torrents is also quite high.That means the erosion of the surrounding area is spreading.If you hesitate and increase the damage, I would like you to defeat it quickly even if there is some damage..... "

“Okay, I've got a plan for how to beat it.Estelle, can you beat them to the pinpoint? "

"Hmm, the torrenting system has a lot of magic resistance, so it's pretty tough."But if it's oniisan's request, I'll try my best. "

"Oh, oh, thank you. When this is over, we'll go somewhere together."

"Oh, then we have to get through it."

Estelle opens her grimoire with a smile on her cheek.

... yeah, it's okay because it says "pinpoint" so there won't be any damage to the surroundings.

For now, I'll leave the main attack to Estelle, but I need Martina to take on another important role.

"Martina, can you reduce Magic Resistance with a Debuff before Esther attacks?"I want you to call Grandis and Trent at the same time, as much as you can at one time. "

* giggle *, it's as easy as that if you don't want to move!

Martina's Debuffs can reduce Magic Resistance as well as Physical Defense.

In other words, it goes well with esters as well as Freesia.

In addition to lowering your basic stats, you can also lower your physical and magical defenses by yourself...

While Estelle was preparing for the magic, Martina, who was in a fixed pose, summoned the Ghost and shouted high.

"Come on, my friend!" Lower their defenses! "

As Martina waved down the sickle, the pompous ghosts flew towards Grandis at once.

And when I touched the tree in the simulation, I got into it.

Shortly thereafter, the rumbling of the ground echoed around, and the soil gushed out, revealing Grandis' stubborn roots.

At the same time, the surrounding torrents also moved...... Esther's cute voice overlapped to match.

Huh!

Countless spear-shaped rocks were rising around Estelle, firing at once in response to her cries.

Instantly, I pierced Trent and the others, but it ended there.

"Oh my, it's so modest to esterify, it's a magic that doesn't have any power at all..."

I knew it, but the next moment, the torrent suddenly swelled up and exploded from the inside and began to burn.

Without exception, Grandis falls from every corner of his body, becoming a particle of light and disappearing one after another.

"...... Isn't everything too much?"What the hell did you do? "

"Fufu, I installed explosive magic in the stone spear."I pierced the epidermis and then went inside and exploded.This is also thanks to Martina's debuff. "

"Ah, thank you... Estelle-san..."

"It looks like we're getting stronger than we thought."... it's us, Estelle-san. "

"It's just like Esther..."

Hehe... it's too much of a magic to make a hole and explode from the inside.

How does it feel to be blown up and burned inside your body?

As you can imagine, Martina was trembling with a blue face.

Yeah, the perfect response to my order that pinpoints and doesn't cause any damage to the surroundings.

That's Mr. Esther. It sounds far more terrifying than usual flashy magic!

Perhaps because they saw the magic of Esther that had wiped out Grandis and the others in no time, Gralier opened his eyes and was stunned.

"Well, you defeated Grandis with absolute resistance to magic in an instant!?"Are you really just an adventurer!? ”

”Ahahah... you're just a normal B-rank adventurer”

Yes, I answered, but Gralier and the others had eyes to see things that were not good enough.

I think I'm aware of it, but I'm still not convinced that I'm a B-ranked adventurer.

Except for the title of Adventurer, I only hunted monsters for gacha, and I had no choice but to call myself that.

After that, I continued to patrol the forest and hunt torrents, crushed two more Grandis and pulled them up today.

It's true that not only one, but three of them are Grandis. It's true that the weirdness in this forest is not unusual.

Hmm, I guess it's about the same size as Sevaria's anomaly.

It looks like there's a lot of people in this whole forest just looking for a little bit.

Just looking around the Elf's Town for a day, I encountered countless torrents and three Grandis, and it seemed like the anomaly was progressing at a pretty bad level.

If we just look at it as an anomaly, it's probably the largest scale ever.I don't know what would have happened if I had just been left like this... It would have been terrifying.

We need to get rid of the torrents and clear out the labyrinth or re-seal them.

While discussing something more serious than expected, Gralier and the Elves accompanying him were in a state of semi-panic.

Ah, that's impossible... there's no way there's going to be anybody who can take down three Grandis in such a short time...

"Length, length, calm down!Now you can see the hope! "

That's right, that's right... uuuuu!I'm scared of humans after all.....}

"Ahahahaha, don't worry."They're all so sweet, aren't they?... except for Heihachi. "

You're selling your pussy in a fight!

"Wow, Heihachi got angry!"

While I was chasing after the fleeing Freesia, the Graliers managed to calm me down.

"If I was surprised by this, I'd be confused even more from now on..."

I think we'll just have to get used to it somehow until we get to the labyrinth.
