Even after we encountered the Elder Plant, we continued our search to the deepest depths.
Since then, I've been attacked many times by the tentacles at the end of the Elderplant, and it's a bit doubtful if I can call it exploring anymore...
Gralier loudly warns that there may still have been a mild shake.
It's coming up! It's coming up!
Elderplant's tentacles appeared from the ceiling in front of her, as Gralier had declared, and she looked toward her.
At the same time, I hug Esther and instantly flip over and run away. It really comes out of nowhere, so even if you're ready, you can't deal with it!
Woah! Hurry up and debuff him!
"Hey, hey, hey! I know!"
Martina scattered a foggy debuff and the tentacles slammed into it, slightly weakening the momentum.
At that signal, Esther, who I was holding, turned around and began to attack with her tentacles.
"No! Now!"
Yeah!
Leave it to me.
In the same way as in the beginning, Esther's explosive magic caused her tentacles to lean back and become frightened, and in the gap, she used Freesia's bow and Luna's spear to throw a ranged attack.
Their attack easily pierced the surface of the brittle tentacle and drilled a large hole, but the elderplant returned to the ceiling without even a gesture of effectiveness.
”Hah... hah... looks like you've quit...”
"Hah, really persistent tentacles." I tried working with the Freesias, but I think I'll be back soon. "
"Ugh, I can't defeat you even though you've punctured your tentacles so many times!"
"Hmm, the piercing is stable, but I can't handle it." I feel like I'm attacking the water. "
"Mmm, let's do something about that tentacle, shall we?"
"There was no HP display in the status app." It makes a temporary escape with a certain amount of damage, but it probably recovers quickly with ultra-regeneration and attacks me. "
"It was marked as terminal." Even if you take damage, you may be able to recover by supplying power from the connected body. ”
Hmmm, even if we continue to attack and defend like this, we're still poor.
If you take some damage, the tentacles will retract into the wall and recover where we can't reach them.
In the first place, Mr. Gralier said that he felt several similar signs, so even if he knocked down the tentacles, there was a high chance that another person would come out and end up in vain.
The quickest way to find the main unit is to find it.
However, that tentacle gets in the way when I try to find the main unit, and it's hard to use the dimension hall to explore a place that seems as wide as the upper level while I keep being attacked by it.
I wondered if I could find the main body with the least amount of exploration... and Gralier said something that bothered me.
Indeed, when I was attacked, I felt a strong and unusual force gathering.
I wonder if we can find the body by detecting the direction it's coming?
I know a certain direction, but I can't get an exact position. One thing you can tell is that Daiyuan is quite far away. I could tell the exact position of the tentacle by touching it directly at the moment it was supplied with force...... ”
... mmm? The moment the power is supplied to the tentacles... that means it's time to use super regeneration, right?
At that time, if Mr. Gralier touched the tentacle, he would know the location of the main unit...
I don't know if there's a resting place like the upper hierarchy, so stop going back and intercept that tentacle at the entrance.
In other words, instead of searching for the main body in the dark clouds, you can attack the tentacles and inflict fatal injuries, and have the elf sister search for the location?
"That's right, Esther." With that strength, we'll be running away like we were running into each other. Then you should ambush me where I can escape and hit that tentacle as hard as you can to locate the body, right? "
"If the situation is unfavorable, Okura-san will quickly retreat and think of ambushes." Even though you've got strength, that kind of place hasn't changed since before, has it? "
"That's why I'm saying I'm cautious." If you're going to be safe, you can throw away your pride and try to defeat the enemy. If we win in the end, it's fine. "
"...... I've always thought about it before, but Okura-sama is a type of person who would never want to turn against an enemy."
"Fufu, but that's also a good part of oniisan."
"I agree with your thinking, but is that a good thing...?"
If we can find the main body without being bothered to explore it, we will have no choice but to do so.
The problem is that those tentacles get away as soon as they get attacked... but if we were to ambush them, we wouldn't have a problem either.
Keke, you've chased us around and ambushed us, now we have to pay you back!
Now, as we all prepare for the operation meeting, we decide to return to this level, near the entrance, and wait for the tentacles.
The Elder Plant tentacles didn't seem to come in without some progress, and Martina's Ghosts were used to guide them.
Have them flash out negative force on purpose to make it easier for them to fish, and collectively act like 10 or so to provoke them.
Looking at the situation in the shared view, it was assumed that the tentacles of the Elderplant reacted and appeared from the wall.
At the same time, the Ghosts reverse at once and fall back to where we ambushed them.
Martina's ability to catch enemies while sharing her sight really helps.
As soon as the Elder Plant tentacles reached their destination, the number of Ghosts grew instead of the purple light.
And immediately, Martina raised her sickle and shouted high.
"Come on, my friend!"
When the purple light instantly turned into black bones and three bones, it grabbed the tentacles that rushed with shields.
In order not to let it escape, the Mentomori pinched from the front and from the left and right were wrapped in a dark purple aura, and the tentacles that had received three debuffs were visibly slowed down.
Esther, who was waiting nearby to match, opened the grimoire, opened the black aura, and stood her staff.
Huh!
The magic of Esther, enhanced threefold by Grimoire, envelops the tentacles with a blue flame in an instant.
I'm trying to move like an eunuch, but I can't move because I'm firmly grabbed by a bullet, and the flame spreads slowly and slowly as if it's entangled.
However, Elderplant's tentacles didn't intend to be silly, and the rounded tip opened up vertically.
There are countless thorns growing in it, showing how they attack.
But Luna, who was also standing by, jumped out in front of her, without even allowing such a counterattack.
Then he slashed the elderplant lightly and jumped backwards.
This action is designed to activate the Fresh Blood Lord's natural abilities, with a red aura drifting from Luna's body the moment she hits him.
This alone will increase your attack power by 20%, so it's a broken ability...
When Luna, ready, raised her spear, Bradborough was enveloped in crimson light, as she answered.
Then, as you cast your eyes on the mouth of the tentacle, a flash-like blow instantly sucks into the inside of the thorns.
One of the bumps that grew from the wall swelled from the other side, and I was able to see whether the spear had reached the edge of the wall.
The tentacles are twitching and falling to the ground without strength, opening their mouths and twitching like they're exhausted.
"Oh... three times as much magic as Esther, but Luna's Kazuikuru, which has been enhanced one level, is also very difficult..."
“That's right, I might not have had to use my magic to contain it.”
"That's Luna!" You won't be able to touch a tentacle like that! "
”Wow... I was being targeted like that...”
”... hah, hahaha, I'm really glad you're not hostile”
Even after Martina's debuffs and Estelle's 3x magic, Luna's ability to disable her Elder Plant ends without time to escape has been greatly enhanced.
Still, the Esterplant's tentacles didn't seem to have been knocked out, and they didn't seem to disappear while emitting black light particles.
I don't think I'll have to worry about moving for a while, but I don't know when I'm going to play super again, so I'll have Gralier touch it and find out what's supplying the power.
What do you say, Gralier?
{...... I knew the exact direction of the flow of force. If you look at the map app you have, you should be able to show them around. "
All right, now we go and knock on the main body, and this labyrinth is over!
At first, I was wondering what would happen, but I thought that it was because of Gralier... but Gralier continued to talk with a difficult face.
However, it doesn't seem to be directly connected to the main unit.
“What do you mean?”
There's a huge store of vitality along the way, and it seems to be connected from there to deeper.
"I think it's like a relay point." Then we'll have to go over there and do the same thing again, and find the main body in the tunnel. "
In other words, the source of the tentacle's power is only through the intermediate being, and the body lurks deeper?
That's why that tentacle was labelled terminal... "
Then, the next target is something that has become a relay point, and now it's time to follow it to the main unit...
