Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

The black ants continued to gush almost exhausted, and each time Letty and the others waved a brand-new weapon to destroy it.

As for the LP, I don't have to worry so much because it comes from the other side even if I don't move from where I built the hut.

However, weaponry and armor have durability values, which naturally wear and tear over the course of combat.

Sorry, the sword is almost ready.

"I see. Letty will be the main one from here."

Toca dealing with a sword with a lower durability than a hammer is lowered, and Letty comes forward instead.

I don't buy many emergency repair materials this time, and it's too expensive to use.

Originally.

"Letty, can you leave the next group to me?"

Holding black iron, she shouted at Letty's back as she walked forward.

"Oh, Mr. Reggie, are you okay?

I nod to Letty who turned around and I'll take out a bundle of steel threads.

"It's been a long time since I've used my Trap skills."

Although the DAF system has trap skills in use conditions, most of them stand out as main skills.

Recently, the White Bat battle of the White God Beast Pilgrimage may be the last battle with a solid trap.

"There are more techniques that can be used as the level of flavor rises. I would also like to try various things at the same time as commissioning."

"I see. Then Letty and the others will go for backup."

Letty nodded comfortably at my offer and went forward instead.

While unbundling a bundle of steel threads, I took four iron piles out of an item pouch hanging from my waist belt and sandwiched them in my fingers.

"... like a ninja!

"No, no bitterness, no stick, no sword, no throwing."

While laughing bitterly at the micage rubbing his voice against Russia, he threw two piles into the wall of the tunnel, just to delimit the square land.

"All right, 'Region Designation'"

Using the technique with the four piles in view, the area surrounded by them becomes thin and blue.

"Trap", a skill level 40 technique, designates the area delimited by a pile called a marker as “area”.

This alone is not particularly meaningful, but its true value comes next.

Continue, Intrusion Detection.

Trap Skill Level 50 technique, Intrusion Detection.

This has the effect of informing the designated “area” when a pre-set presence, such as a prototype, enters.

"'Trap installation'"

Use the Basic Technique of Skill Level 1 to set a trap in the Area.

Stretch steel thread, pass barbed wire, dig holes, line up the tip of the pile to the bottom, and put some machine guns at the end.

"Durability enhancement, trap concealment, automatic activation."

Traps in “space” can all be combined and buffed as a single thing.

Increase Durability, Hide Presence, and Automatically Intercept in response to Intrusion Detection.

"'Cover up the realm'"

On top of that, hide the existence of the “realm" itself, and the preparations are over.

From our point of view, a physical interceptor is considered an ordinary sight that does not feel uncomfortable from the herd of protozoans that will come.

It's time for the next herd.

Increases tension in the vigilant mica voice.

In the meantime, we're on time for the installation.

The disadvantage of skills is that it takes a lot of time to prepare in advance.

And once it's installed, it's delicious and the place can't move.

But they also have plenty of time to clear in this tunnel, which comes from the enemy.

"Come on, let's go public."

An army of black ants appears in the darkness.

If you don't put an iron hammer down on a thug who punctures a big hole and ruins the living area, he will strike a sharp jaw and let himself be invaded by anger.

"Mr. Reggie...."

"It's okay. For now, I want you to see it."

Letty nodded with a spare face to send a worried gaze.

In the meantime, the black ants rushed under the boss's command and eventually crossed the deadline.

"Come on, activate!

The leading ant enters the Zone.

The traps set at that moment awaken and appeared to do their job.

First, the steel thread is entangled at the beginning and the hard crust of the ant is cut under subsequent pressure.

A barbed wire with a high voltage current also kills the ants that come over the bodies of their companions.

Ants that came beyond that also fell into the hole and bled through the pile.

The subsequent ants, who survived the triple trap by the corpses of their allies, are pierced by the firing of a machine gun that was aimed at them.

"Wow, that's overwhelming!

"I didn't think there was a sense of being a trap, but it would be very easy to catch them in bulk if they were properly prepared."

Letty and the others cheered as they watched the ants drooling in front of her without doing anything.

That's right, the true value of a Trap skill is where enemies die automatically if they are prepared and equipped in advance.

"However, this is a bit unpleasant....."

"What's the matter?

Seeing a flock of ants flocking smoothly, I wrinkle between my eyebrows.

He nodded to the question of Toka, who noticed it brilliantly.

"I felt thin, but there were too many ants. The body will be there, so it will exceed its ability to handle the trap."

"I see, then....!

Hearing that, the toca suddenly ran out.

I thought it was to slay the ants who snatched the trap, but her sword is no longer durable.

"Toca!?

"Once we get rid of the body, we can still use the trap. I'm going to throw it back, so be careful!

"Wow!?

Hmm, she lifts up the body of a giant ant as big as herself and throws it at us.

Toca is not as extreme as Letty as the avant-garde, but it is a trick that can be done because she wields quite a bit of BB power.

"I see, then so is Letty!

"It sounds like fun. I'll join you."

In addition, Letty, Amy's avant-garde team will join us and throw a body of ants stuck in a trap.

It's a smiling sight as if you were enjoying a snowball match on the slopes, but you're throwing giant black ants.

Wow! Throw it right at me!

Lacto screams as he blocks the corpse of ants coming down to him with the Ice Wall.

Of course I don't hear such complaints because Letty and the others are throwing at each other avoiding the coming ants.

"Hmm, does this automatically require a mechanism to carry the body backwards...? I wonder if that's a technique if my skills get better."

Watching this state of affairs, I identify operational improvements.

This is the first time I have used the Area, and there are a lot of things that can be improved from here.

There is another drawback to this “realm”.

"Letty, Toka, Amy, it's time for you to step back!

"Huh!? I see."

A large black ant's best friend appeared from the back of the hole.

In the presence of protozoa that are too large, the “area” that can be created now is too narrow.

"I can't handle that with a trap. I don't mind if I take care of my men, so please take care of my best friend."

"I see, I understand. Your arms are ringing!

Just waiting for the word, Letty danced with black iron in her arms.

It was then that she hit her with an airflame.

"'Throw'"

A thick needle flies in a sharp trajectory from behind.

It plunges directly beside Letty and pierces the hard crust of the Great Black Ant.

"Hmm!? This is..."

When Letty turned in surprise, the spider thread tangled into the body of the giant black ant.

"― Sending resentment"

A dark purple aura-like effect blows out of the silver needle.

It conveys the yarn and wraps the giant black ants, starting to erode their HP.

"'Steel yarn'"

Stronger steel threads tangle and tighten tightly into the ants' bodies.

Poisonous blood drains out of the wound, which eats into the hard crust and carves the strings tightly tied.

"Mikage? Is this a spell?"

Purple effects erode ants and sharpen their HP rapidly.

The lizard we know only assists us on the front as a sub attacker and shouldn't have had that much attack power.

But the giant black ants in front of him have already cut their health by half, even though none other than him have attacked.

"......! It's over."

Along with the words of the lizard, the thread is shredded and foggy.

At the same time, the nail came off and the purple effect disappeared.

"This will be over soon!

A red shadow approaching the Great Black Ant freed from the chains.

Soon after immersion in the aftertaste of liberation, the giant black ants sank by a massive series of strikes.

"Mikage, what was that move?

The herd is cleared and moved to the post-war processing phase.

While I was working on the ant demolition, Toka asked Mikage about it.

"... 'Sending resentment' requires a spell. I asked Neva to make me five dimensional nails."

That's how he takes a big nail out of his pocket and shows it.

"The person who stabbed this is the object of a curse." It seems that 'sending resentment' is a technique that returns damage taken from enemies of the same kind as the target. "

Mikage slowly chooses the words and explains.

I understand the general content of the Magic skill that was wrapped in mystery by him.

"It's really powerful when I hear it. I think tanks can do a lot of damage back.

"... depending on the spell's performance, time, and skill level. You must equip yourself with a spell beforehand, and it gradually decreases over time as you take damage."

I see, you're going to use one gearbox.

I also understand the disadvantages of Curse skills.

It seems that the damage will not be counted if he does not hold the five dimensional nails in either his left or right hand.

In the meantime, Amy's shields naturally cannot be held, so avoidance is irresistible.

It seems certain that it is a difficult skill to handle inside.

"Now I've raised my skill level a bit. If you keep using it, you'll learn new tricks soon."

It seems that when attacked while holding a spell, there is also a skill increase judgment, and the Mikage's skill has already reached 8.

They were attacked one by one by the black ants when they were out front as a scout, accumulating counterattack damage.

"There are still five dimensional nails. I want to fight a little more."

"I want to improve the area more, too. Letty, there's plenty of room for supplies, right?

Wait a minute...

As I asked, Letty opened the back of the calves who were waiting near the shed.

Excellent at transporting items, she exerted great power as a luggage carrier even during this expedition.

Without her, I wouldn't have been able to hold this long with my camping skills.

"You can still afford it. You can do it about three or four more times."

All right, let's take some more cages.

Taking that word, I'll get ready for the next trap.

Mikage also held his five-dimensional nails and changed his mind for the next battle.
