Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Lesson 698: Encounter with the Unknown

The Lake Swamp of the Water Serpent spreads muddy swamps all over the area. Among them, the lake in the center is large, and the turbid water can't see the bottom. Behind such a lake, at the far end of the horizontal hole, there was that.

"--" Blazing Wind Slash! ""

The flames blazed through the dark cave.

A double slash cleaves the throat of a white snake that shines with golden eyes.

Petrification is coming!

Ahh!

Listening to the sound of fu echoing in the cave, the maple kicks the snake and retreats backwards. At that moment, the serpent's eyes glowed and the maple's lap petrified.

"Tsk!"

”Fuahhhhhhhhh! [Crushing Scales]!”

The maple that stopped moving its legs falls out of balance in the air. The red-eyed white snake peeled its fangs as it gnawed at him defenselessly. It was Hu who hit him in the head with the pot.

"Oniichan! It's a softening ointment!"

Furthermore, the bottled ointment is thrown from behind before the maple falls to the ground. And the maple, which had received it on his back, managed to escape from the petrified state, and landed on his own feet.

Thank goodness!

I'll throw the heat grenade once!

Fu, who had hurried out to help the maple, was falling apart. Even though the maple itself was removed from the petrification, it took about a second for the feeling of the leg to return. In order to buy a little time, the rear grenade throws a grenade.

Heat!

At the same time as Momiji's signal, Hu and Maple took a defensive position.

A pineapple-shaped grenade in the air releases a heat wave that scorches the skin. It burned the heat source sensing device of the "Hidden Lapis", the boss of [Water Serpent's Lake Marsh], and paralyzed it for a certain period of time.

I'll keep the blue eyes down!

I'm the red-eye!

Alright, I'll take care of it!

The white snake with three necks leaned back and panicked. In particular, the left and right red and blue eyes moved around violently, and the control of the dominant golden eye was weakened.

Without missing that gap, Momiji throws a magic enclosed grenade at the bluish eye. It's an expensive toss I got from the Tanabishi. When it hits the target, the internal mechanism activates and the enclosed explosive technique bursts.

"I'll cook you a delicious meal." -- "Heavy frost" "Burn!" "

Huu jumped up high and pointed the pot at the red-eyed serpent. There, plenty of hot water was poured into the head of the snake, and the screams resounded in the cave.

She chased after the red snake with the beautiful white scales. I caught sight of the burned area and tapped the bottom of the Chinese pot.

The red eye fell to the ground and turned its eyes around.

Come on, let's do it again!

Momiji and Fu are dealing with each other's necks. In the meantime, the maple quickly approached its central neck. A golden-eyed giant snake that controls the blue-eyed and red-eyed eyes of the left and right as the dominant power of the Lapis.

To the rattling snake that flaunted its sharp fangs and shook its throat, the maple extracts its sword without cowardice. What was on his waist was a double-swung sword of varying length.

"Come on, big boy."

Responding to the incitement of the maple, the head of the golden eye approaches the ground. His sword is also reachable.

The Golden Eye shines and the Petrify Curse is activated. But the maple shifted its course slightly and avoided it.

"I've got the range. I'm not hanging up anymore."

Kicks and jumps on the ground.

In an instant, he flesh-thinned into the golden eye, pointing the tip of his long sword at the giant eyeball.

[It hurts so badly!

The bright red blade burned violently.

The big bull on fire, the sword with the flaming horns of Rubus--the "Blazing Blade/Rampaging Bull" was extremely hot. The flame blows up as the maple grips the handle even harder.

For Lapis, who lived at the bottom of a cold lake, fire was his greatest enemy. The great serpent bursts into pain as it crushes the eyeballs and burns the wound.

"Don't be too aggressive." I'll make it easy for you right away. "

Maple fits under the jaws of a fiercely moving golden eye, clinging to a rambunctious cow that pierces deeply. Then he held up another sword in one hand.

A black-bladed sword that was a little shorter than a Berserker. The inscription is "Claw Sword/Disturbed Bear", a sword using Kaiser's rigid claws.

"'Weakness Identification'"

Maple's black eyes glowed, hunting for Lapis' fast spot.

It was, as he expected, a vivid cut in the throat.

"[Attack posture] [Strength accumulation]"

He takes his hands off the pattern of the rampaging cow. As you follow gravity and fall, you grab the disturbed bear's handle with both hands.

"- [Pipe Strike!]"

A simple movement that swings the sword straight down. But it's hard to do it in the air. Furthermore, he turned his body upside down and swung down (...) or down (...) and down (...).

The maple executes in a sophisticated motion, tearing the throat of the golden eye.

Haaaaa!

Both of Miturgi's two-swinged swords were made of Gnaud's black solid bone. Even if it is used in a somewhat rough way, it will not break.

The slashing momentum didn't stop, and the blonde's thick neck was cut off as it was.

The red and blue eyes raised the doomsday demon, and the three big snakes slowly fell. Seeing that, the maple falls from its back to the ground with a satisfied smile.

"Onii-chan!"

"Whoa!?"

However, the maple did not have the expected impact and instead fell on a soft cushion. Seeing what Momiji had thrown downstairs, the maple inadvertently screamed.

"Oh dear, Momiji-chan thinks of you oniichan."

Fu, who brought the pot back to his back, smiled.

Recently, Momiji switched to the Golem and absorbed the falling damage of the maple by using his body as a buffer.

"Even if I don't bother to stand up and help you, I'm not dying of LP due to falling damage..."

"I don't want to see oniichan get hurt." Besides, the ampoule is also a waste. "

"Isn't it true behind you?"

The maple stands up as it tries.

While removing the dirt on my sister's (wife's) nursing clothes that had completely exceeded her height, I turned my attention to the "hidden lapis" that had just been defeated.

I managed to defeat Lapis.

"I thought it was premature, but it's going to be surprising."

A few days after Momiji changed the aircraft, Maple, who had received the "Flaming Sword, Rampage Bull" and "Claw Sword, Disturbed Bear" from Miturgi, immediately began to take control of the "Water Serpent Lake Marsh".

The flames of the rambunctious cows worked well against the frogs and snakes that lived in the fields where the water spread throughout the area. The sharp sharpness of the disturbed bear was also wonderful, and I was able to chop it as if there were no snake scales.

While thanking Miturgi for his work beyond his expectations, Maple thought he could defeat the boss.

"It was hard until I got used to petrochemicals." It was also helpful that Momiji was able to carry a lot of grenades. "

Miturugi's sword and Momiji's airframe were changed. These two factors were the cause of the victory. Moreover, without Hu's night vision, he would not have been able to fight properly in the dark cave.

It was a victory I had won with my people.

Now it's finally time for [Armored Fish Waterfall].

I see. There's a lot of water there too, so the Rampage Bulls will help.

One step closer to the [Wadatumi], the maple takes on a new mood.

I will fight the Lapis a few times to collect the source stones, but then I will not go to another second realm field. After that, it was the policy of the three of them to proceed in a straight line.

"Um, excuse me."

At that moment, a man's voice resounded from the entrance of the cave.

And the maples turned around, and there stood a green mosaic like a bush.

"Ugh!? Who... no what!?"

Reflexively pulling out the sword, the maple leaves out in front of Momiji.

In response to the movement, the green helmet stretched the arm-like part and asked for a stop.

"I'm sorry to surprise you so suddenly. I want to hunt the lapis too, but is that enough?"

From the bushes, the man's voice was heard, and the maples noticed that the player in front of them was wearing an unusual gear.

Because the boss is only in the field, it is common for a queue to occur in front of the nest. If there are people behind you, it's polite to retreat quickly.

“I'm sorry, I'll be back as soon as I finish dismantling.”

"I'm sorry."

When the maple apologizes, the bush lowers its hips and moves backwards. Then Hu took out the dismantling knife and tried to lift the lapis, but unexpectedly shouted.

"When you rub a lapis, you should leave the golden eye at the end." Because if you don't put red and blue eyes first, it will decay faster. Also, it is better to cut the forehead of the golden eye carefully. There's a rare drop there. "

"Wow!? That's right. Thank you very much."

Fu, who was trying to insert the blade from the golden eye, hurriedly followed the advice.

Are you skilled at dismantling?

"Well, for the time being, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."

To the words of a humble man everywhere, Maple shakes her head. And I asked what I really wanted to ask.

Well, why are you wearing such equipment?

A man is probably a type-humanoid. However, it is covered with a green sheath that is soaked all over the body, and the outline is not definite. The appearance of the so-called gilly suit is like a further volume increase.

"Oh, this is an enhanced version of the equipment called" Fukamori Hidden "." If you equip it before it enters the field, it will be much more private. ”

"Haa..."

Probably a fairly high level of equipment. Besides, it's not very major. At least, Maple had never seen it in the city.

"I'm not very good at fighting." Besides, I thought I'd try the poison when I fought the Lapis. ”

Having said that, the man takes the vial out of his pocket and shows it to him.

The lid was tightly sealed with a small amount of dark purple mucus inside.

Can you defeat the Lapis with this much poison?

"Well, it's going to take a while." This time, it's a new poison that has increased the lethal dose and persistence. "

The words of a man who speaks a little proudly, the maple is perceived to be so great. Perhaps he is a pharmacist specializing in poisons.

"Recently, I tried and mistakenly tried to combine the boss's special abilities with the plants." I wanted a little jewelry because it was easy to understand the curse of Lapis' petrification. "

I see. That's an interesting attempt.

"Hahaha. The road is pretty tough, though."

Fu finishes dismantling the Lapis as he blooms in such a conversation. She rushed back joyfully and showed the maples a huge crystal.

"Take a look!" It's a rare drop jewel! I really got it! "

It was a rare drop of Lapis, a special organ that rang out as the source of the Petrify Curse. Recent research has shown that the mechanism of three spells, especially magic, is used for their occurrence.

It was a very delicate organ that was difficult to retrieve, but I was able to obtain it for the first time by dismantling it because I followed the advice of a mysterious man.

"Congratulations, you look good."

Eheh, thank you.

The man clapped his hand and rejoiced, and Hu put his hand on the back of his head and rejoiced.

Well then, I'll get ready before the lipop.

"Oh, good luck with that."

Confirming that Lapis' body is gone, the man moves deeper into the cave.

The maples must also get out of the cave before a new lapis appears. Encouraging the man to start preparing, the three walked out towards the entrance of the cave.

"[Forced Germination]" Snake Head Cage "-"

As he left, Maple heard a man's voice echoing in the cave. I feel like I've heard words somewhere lately, but the response is terrible and unclear.

"Oniichan, I'm going."

Yeah. When I get home, I'll have something to eat in Xintiandi .

Momiji hurried, and Maple walked out again.

When they rose above the surface of the lake, I felt a faint tremor bouncing through the bottom of the ground.
