Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 203 "Black Claw Mog"
Clear signs that divide the layers of the Amatumara tunnel do not actually exist.
First of all, it seems to be separated by altitude or depth, but the fact that the tunnel itself is a gentle gradient and continues to bend in a complicated way is also difficult to understand physically.
Ah, from here on out, the wilderness.
Amy, who was walking at the beginning, stopped and stuck her toes to the ground.
The dark brown soil is dug back with thick stones.
Just where she was standing was between the pavement and the wilderness, and if she noticed it, she could feel it going down a long hill.
From here on, we will enter unpaved roads - that is, more dangerous areas.
"You've never seen Enemies before."
"Because I'm weak, I guess I'll be risked right away. It's easier to slap him than to hide."
"I see. It's barbaric."
The words came out of my mouth, but I suppressed it with a tough reason.
"But from here on out, it hasn't been maintained, and the protozoan nest hasn't been crushed. You'd better be careful."
In Lacto's words, Toka nodded after going through the underground tunnel with her.
We realized it as soon as we started walking the wilderness.
There's a nest up ahead.
A lizard returning from scouting appears lukewarm from the darkness.
As he leaned his neck carefully towards unfamiliar words, he eventually saw a large hole in the wall of the wide tunnel.
"That's the nest. I bumped into it while digging a tunnel. It's a protozoan's house in the basement."
"From the protozoa, we're worse off."
A large tunnel was suddenly formed where he lived in peace and quiet in the basement.
That would make me angry, and I would attack.
"If you say so, the natives of this planet are over there. We are invaders."
"In the end, it's better to be strong and spin history. Come on, let's get into the nest!
Feeling the signs of battle, Letty suddenly came alive and grabbed the hammer and pinned her ear.
"You're still weak around here, and you might as well get used to it."
"I agree. I'd like to make sure that the shields are handled underground."
The battle entered unanimously.
No offense, but the protozoa will be forced to leave.
"Reggie and Neva are waiting near the nest. I don't think so, but if you get attacked from the side of the tunnel, thank you."
"Yes. Well, let me see."
Standing on the edge of the nest with Neva, she drops Letty off.
They jumped into the dark hole as soon as they finished their pre-buffs.
That's brave.
"Isn't that a brave mistake?
Watch the trend while sending such words.
The nest has a distorted spherical shape, and the walls are paved smoothly, like cement.
The soil on the ground was softly tilled, and stones and rocks were driven toward the corners.
"You're a pretty clever protozoan."
"Ants, perhaps?
As we observe the nest, Letty screams from the bottom of the hole.
"Reggie! Can I borrow your lantern?
Apparently, he realized he couldn't secure his vision without a light source.
When I dropped the lantern, the light lit up a little at the bottom.
"Letty, don't you have a lantern?
He usually keeps it in storage.
She must still have some camping skills.
However, the technique cannot be used because all relevant items are kept in the warehouse due to the weight of the possession.
"It's a must-have in a tunnel...."
At the bottom of the hole, the light moves loosely to find the enemy.
It seems to be quite large and difficult to encounter.
"Is it empty?
"It's a shallow hierarchy, and it's no wonder you're being hunted by pocket money."
It was then.
"There it is!
Amy!
Suddenly the battle begins.
Letty's lantern showed up with a large mole as big as her back.
Has long, sharp nails and a large tongue, and small, unbalanced black eyes.
The mole opens its arms wide and sticks out its tongue, intimidating them.
"The Black Nail Mall is a huge mole!
"Was the mole so agile!?
The black nail mall shakes its long nails and strikes to chop the lettuce.
Very energetic and fierce beast.
"Looks like you're aiming for the lights. Letty, stay behind me."
"Okay, I got it!
Perhaps Letty's light is the most annoying thing for a mole that adapts to the darkness.
Amy stood in front of a mole that relentlessly targeted her.
Amy's red fingernails were struck by black fingernails and a high metal sound echoed into the tunnel.
"Lacto, does this thing dazzle you?
"Maybe."
"Then I'll try. ― Punching Angle Fist !
Amy's sharp thrust shakes the mole's skull.
The impact that penetrated into the brain paralyzed the sense of equilibrium in an instant, blocking vision, and the mole pounded and fell.
"Okay, now!
"Hyahah! Triple Strike !
Not a rabbit so gentle as to miss the opportunity.
When Letty jumps out of Amy's back, she knocks three strikes into the mole's head as if to clear the grudge she was attacked.
It's a light blow like a mochi, but the sound shakes the rocks heavily.
It was resentment in the first place, and it was an overkill anyway.
Phew. You don't love anyone else. "
Well, it's still low.
Letty, who climbed the steep slope and returned to the tunnel, said as she slammed the bottom of the shadow skyle gear.
I dismantled the mole properly and left the dropped item with Calvi.
"Looks like the deeper nest is home to some of its top species."
Lacto's words sparkled red eyes and licked her lips.
"Fufufu, this looks like it's worth killing..."
"Don't start feeling better when you're free."
Well, you can count on me, so I'd love to.
Surprised by her reaction, we begin to go further down the tunnel.
"I couldn't fight earlier, so next...."
"I just hit him once, and I need a little more help."
"You're hungry for battle, too."
Toca and Amy don't hide incomplete combustion.
All of our women are in some kind of trouble.
"If we go further down, it looks like there's a normal battle in the tunnel, so we'll get tired of fighting soon."
Lacto tells them to hold them back.
Speaking of which, Lacto's not the only one who's worried.
"It seems that the art of ice attributes is hard to do with the protozoa that come out of the tunnel. The weakness is the fire attribute, but I don't want to use anything but ice."
"... I see."
I wonder why the correct answer came back even though she didn't say it out loud, but I know why she's calming down for now.
I've never cared much about it before, but it seems that the protozoa are also set with valid attributes and resistant attributes.
The protozoa of the Amatumara tunnel are particularly pronounced, and the ice-attributed arts used by Lacto will almost halve their effects.
"The art of earth attributes is almost like a physical attack, so it doesn't have to do with attribute resistance. Fire, wind, and ice have a correlation."
"I see. Then Mel will shine in this field."
What comes to mind is a flameworthy girl from the Seven Wise Men (Seventh Sage) who also has the ability to antagonize Astra of the Knights of the Great Eagles.
We've been with each other since the 1st event, but we're counting on you to help us with seed interception operations and the 2nd event the other day.
……
"No, what is it?"
She noticed that Letty and the others were surrounding her eyes.
Neva is laughing at me.
Hmm. Let's move on, Toka. "
"That's right. We need to show them what we can do."
"Hey, isn't it fast?!
The pace at which they start walking is quite fast.
I followed them in a hurry and went further down the tunnel.
