Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 48: The Girls Feel Growth

There were two shadows running through the foggy swamps.

Letty speaks up and watches her surroundings, followed by lact.

Many of the native creatures that inhabit the "Lake and Swamp of Water Snakes" are good at “waiting strategies” that simulate and ambush the environment. Letty was tight and nervous, as she always needed to be careful not to get ahead.

"What are you aiming for first?

"I wish I could hunt a scale surpent."

"Ahahah. Sure."

Without slowing down, they use the telephone feature to talk.

If you raise your voice, Enemies might notice you're hiding somewhere, but this allowed you to have a conversation with a whispering voice.

"─ ─"

/(adv, adv-to) (1) (on-mim) (on-mim) thumping/thumping/thumping/thumping

After a while, Letty stops with her arms up.

Lacto also stretched out her legs and stopped moving as she stroked, then stepped behind her.

"Did you find it?

"Yes, I'm glad."

Looking over her shoulders, Letty had an unbelievable smile.

"It's a scale surpent."

Lacto opens his eyes.

Look out at Letty's body and see the vast marshes.

"Where?"

"It's the shade of the tree over there. Here, just a little bit."

Letty's eyes turned towards him, and Lacto noticed it.

There is a shadow on the cloudy water surface.

The golden eyes were peeking at the leaves of the aquatic plants floating around.

"Lacto, I beg your pardon."

Copy that.

A standard method of warfare.

Without being noticed by a skeleton surpent lurking in the swamp, it was an ambush in Lacto's art.

"Boost, assist code..."

Lacto pushes up the blue hood and prepares to release the arts.

Boost your abilities with some Buffs and prepare for a maximum hit on the serpent.

She sharpens her grassy eyes and whispers a chant.

"Cooling Needle Arrows!

Countless ice arrows generated in the void are released in one direction.

The water rushes through the surface, and they strike directly into the skeleton surpent's head.

"Let's go!

As the water snake screams, Letty rushes in momentum.

The splash rises and my cheeks get wet. Nevertheless, she took a big breath.

"'Attitude to attack' - 'Beast Fang' -"

She strengthens herself as she runs.

Increases Attack and Speed at the expense of Defense, and increases Attack at the cost of Continuous Damage.

At a speed that makes no mistake, she quickly thins into a white snake and shakes up her hammer.

"'Blasting'!

The blow penetrates the thick body of the snake and even shakes the ground.

Shattered hard scales, even broken bones, and still too much shock rushed through the snake's body.

"'Diffusing Frozen Arrows'!

A big serpent that doesn't miss letty, who plays tricks and slows down.

A thick arrow penetrates the belly of a snake trying to bite with its jaw wide open. As soon as it freezes, it stops moving.

"Thank you!

"You're welcome."

In the gap, Letty slips out of the skeleton surpent and adjusts her posture.

"'Intimidation'! Vulnerability discovery !

Use the technique to stand still and draw the attention of the water snake that was heading towards the rear lact.

Her red eyes clearly captured her weaknesses as she crawled over the surface of her body.

In the meantime, your head is stable.

Unwittingly, she rushes over again with a smile.

Kick up the body of the immobile scale surpent and jump up to the top of the triangle head.

"'Shock'!

A blow to the back of the brain is fired with Crit.

The Scale Surpent blinks and stuns his sights as he struggles back.

"Well then, it's no good. ― Freezing (Freeze) Sharp Needle Long Arrow

A large, smooth arrow is fired.

It penetrates the sky of the snake and connects it to the tip of the tail in a single line.

An effect like red blood erupted, contaminating the beautiful pure white scales.

Phew. Thank you very much. "

"Congratulations. It's completely sealed."

Hey.

Lacto smiles at Letty, who comes with a fang hammer.

I was able to take down the Scale Surpent, which was being chased a few days ago, without any bullets.

Realizing that fact, they both have emotional feelings in their chests.

While I was at the foot of the cattle, I went up a bit, and it got pretty strong.

"Maybe we can take down the boss with this."

Speaking of which, I haven't met the boss yet.

Strangely tilted his neck, Lacto said.

It's the second time I've visited the field, but I've never even felt a sign of the boss.

Lacto wonders if the area is huge because of the distance between the two maps from Susano.

It's like a lake or a swamp of water snakes. Is the boss a snake?

"I guess. I wonder if he's a skeleton surpent's best friend."

Looking at the skeleton surpent, which remained sinking in half the mud, they raised their eyebrows.

Even so, even though it is large enough to slightly exceed the back length of the two, it will be quite intimidating if it is larger than that.

"All right, let's take the Scale Surpent to camp for now."

After the break, Lacto jokes and cuts it out.

Letty nodded and grabbed the tip of the long tail of the scale surpent.

Well then, let's go back.

Then she slipped and pulled the snake back the way she came.

Lacto was stunned by her suspicion while being alert to the raid at all times.

"I'm carrying it as it should be, but I didn't really think I could take it."

"Thank you for updating Blue Brad yesterday. My body is lighter than usual."

The way the girl dragged the tail of the volumetric serpent on her back was modestly unusual.

Lacto appreciates that not many people have come to this field yet.

"Anyway, Letty and I are better off demolishing it than we are normally doing."

"Pretty different, about 1.2x?

"I think I bought a new knife yesterday, so I think I'll get more."

Lacto wonders if he scattered money.

She felt thin too, but Ledge seems to have a waste habit.

Reggie is like a home appliance.

"Household appliances?

"One in a family. It feels convenient and raises QoL."

"Oh, that's terrible, but I'm not mistaken."

Letty smiles bitterly at Lacto, who says with her chest wide open.

Certainly, most of Ledge's skills are not just for fighting or using art, but for nothing. But he uses them well, supporting Letty and Lacto's party members.

In other words, is it the power under the edge?

"Thanks to Mr. Reggie, I feel comfortable using LP consuming techniques."

"That's right. Letty's new Combat Skills technique is pretty tough."

"The Beast Fang? It's true that the LP decreases during the effect, and it's quite difficult to use with solos."

"I can't use Boost, Cast Up, or Solo."

In this game, where all HP, MP, and ST are integrated into the LP, the use of techniques and arts that consume them is synonymous with approaching death.

Therefore, we need to have LP recovery means such as ampoules, which were still an expensive alternative at this stage.

"In the meantime, it's huge to be able to recover if you just go back to camp."

"That's right. Looks like they're going to use supportive arts in the future."

More and more reliable, Lacto deepens his smile.

"See, it's time to see the camp, huh... ru...?

Lacto raises his face in a good mood and looks towards the camp.

Her words get smaller in the bumps, and eventually she stops walking.

"What's wrong?

Letty wonders how she is.

Lacto keeps silent, slowly pointing his finger forward.

Then Letty raised her gaze and stared forward.

"What is that?!?

And the screams that are unleashed.

Beyond their gaze was a monumental fortress with high walls lined with boneless cannons.
