Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

A pig runs. A silver arrow pierces its eyebrows.

"Alright! [Contiguous (Serial) Blue Ice Blade (Ice Blade)]!"

Seeing the porcupine stop moving, the lacto plays the strings of the short bow. High-speed chanting is spun, and the ice fragments of the trio cut through the wind sharply and pierced into the pig.

”It's freezing... ahhh!”

"Hey, I'm so sorry to hear that."

It was Lacto who tried to make more pursuits, but the porcupine was faster. I hold a lacto that is about to be run over and evacuate immediately.

The lacto held by the small armpit was moving its limbs and dumbfounded with a frustrated face.

Shit, I'm sorry! If my self-buffs were perfect, I'd be able to defeat them in one shot.

That said, you can't keep a Buff all the time.

When he defeated the boss of [Fang Island of the Black Pig], Lacto was aiming to destroy the Porcupine solo as a start. However, machinists and boars like her were simply not compatible.

It's a small quadruple-legged beast, so it's hard to aim. The fur is stiff and does not pass like an attack. Above all, the Arts that hit the two fangs will be dispersed, so we have to aim accurately. On top of that, the speed of the rush exceeded the speed of the mushroom boar, and there was no time for long chanting. Furthermore, it is difficult to maintain self-buffs all the time while looking for an opponent, as there is no horde habit.

Well, while the shield (tank) was stopping the charge, the basic method of fighting is to use a physical strike like Lettie's (attacker) to hit the octopus.

"Mm....."

I wish I could've been out in the front, but this one's also a paper armor. In addition to being basic in evasion, he does not have the [Combat Skill] skill, so he cannot raise his enemies' mind (hate) and attract attention.

"I'm frightened with arrows, and in the meantime, I can put arts in." I really want to put some stop-and-go arts in it, but you've been chanting too long... "

It's difficult, isn't it?

None of the protozoa that had emerged so far had much resistance to mechanical spells. For the first time in my life, a protozoan with the nasty ability to disable Machine Magic has appeared.

There is no guarantee that native organisms with similar abilities will not appear in the future. That's why Lacto is trying to find a way to deal with it.

I sit on a thick branch. Lacto sat next to me and grabbed my arm.

The trees are relatively safe. There are also few raids from porcupines and other protozoa, so you can think slowly.

Can't you attack unilaterally from the top of the branch?

"I can't. I've got a bow, so my hands are blocked, and I can't aim if I can't get right underneath it."

"Is that what this is about..."

"Don't think everyone's as balanced as Ledge."

Lacto says it with a dizzy face.

I could do some gymnastics on the branches, but Lacto seemed to have a hard time standing upright. I won't let go of my arm like this, so that it won't fall.

It would be easier if we could strike unilaterally from the top of the tree, but it didn't seem to work.

Well then, use the encapsulator arrows or something.

I'll twist my head to see if there's any way to fight it. I squeezed out a special arrow with a built-in mechanical circuit. Luna had used a bullet version of the same thing before.

With that, we could maintain high levels of rapid fire, precision, and power.

However, Lacto's reaction was subtle.

"The arrows of the machine are expensive..."

Is that so?

Yeah. At the advanced Arts level, it's about 3k per bottle.

3k, or 3,000 bits.

... much cheaper than the Sniper bullets I use on my DAF system.

"Because the sense of money is not broken like Ledge." Usually 500 bits a shot is pretty expensive, right? "

With his eyes triangulated, the lacto pushes in with sharp words. With regard to that, I couldn't help but open my mouth, and I had no choice but to hang out honestly.

Even a mechanic like Lacto is a playstyle that normally costs money. The cost of a nanomachine that acts as a catalyst is not stupid, and the equipment dedicated to machine engineering is often expensive. A strong mechanical magician was a frugal artist who lit his nails on fire every day.

"For the rest, that's right..." If the opponent has a countermeasure, I'll push it with more power than that.

If I could do that, I wouldn't have to struggle.

To put it polaristically, if the Machine Disablement ability is present in the Machine Boar's fang, you can win if you overwhelm it with so much machine magic that you can't keep up with it. The problem is that you can't deploy such advanced tricks in large numbers.

You can do it!

The lacto who was sitting next to him raised his voice as a haha. She jumps off a tree branch and lands on the ground before I can stop her.

"Ledge, look. I'll beat you next time!"

"Oh, wow. Be careful."

I don't know, but I think I found a solution. I'll just be ready to jump out if I have to, and watch what she does.

Just in time, a porcupine appeared from the depths of the forest.

Lact calls out an arrow to the short bow and waits for the pigs to come in within that range. They also noticed her figure immediately and accumulated strength while scraping the ground with their front legs.

Here we are!

An arrow was thrown from the pig's eye as he dared to make a fierce rush. It is sucked into the forehead of the pig, and a scream similar to a pig is raised.

[Slash (Crushing) Blue Ice Blade (Blue Ice Bullet)!

Lacto opened his eyes wide and chanted clearly. At the same time, thought manipulation was also used.

The two machines unfolded and flew to the boar together.

Pugh!?

The amazing voice of a pig.

Something broke at about the same time.

You did it!

I jumped off the tree and watched.

While the fine fragments of crushed ice danced in the air, the boar was brutally shattered by its proud big fangs.

"Yay! If this is the case...!"

Lacto cheers and spins a long chant.

The huge icicle that had been completed at the same time was released at a high speed and pierced the porcupine body vertically. It is an overkill with no questions asked.

The pig couldn't fight back at all, so he fell to the ground. Seeing that it was completely exhausted, the lacto jumped up unexpectedly high.

"I did it! I did it, Reggie!"

"Oh, I was watching." It's amazing, isn't it? "

The lacto rushes over, flies to my waist and turns his arm. Catching it, she laughed innocently.

"Ahahaha! --Haaa!?"

On the way back to me, he pushes away from me like a rebounding magnet. I hid behind the tree trunk and put my face out here.

"I'm sorry, I'm so glad..."

No, I'm glad you're so cute.

"What!? What are you doing all of a sudden!"

Lacto, or type - Fairy is small in length and reminds me of her niece. I also reflect on the fact that I was moved by that snare.

”Anyway, I was able to defeat you safely”

I see. Are you chanting in parallel?

It is a special art that can only be done by her at present. While chanting as usual in the mouth, another technique is chanted by mind manipulation. This makes it possible to develop a completely different technique at the same time, unlike the "parallel chanting" that exists as a technique.

"Yeah, I can do it now."

At first, my head seemed confused and painful, but now the face of Lacto seems to be nothing. My head seems to be getting used to using it that way.

"The technique of 'parallel chanting' is a duplicate of the same mechanical technique. If either of those fangs were eliminated, both would disappear together. But if you chant in parallel, you don't have to worry about that."

Stretching his chest, Lact speaks proudly.

She broke through Porcupine's ability to disable magic by herself.

It's a stone, Lacto.

"Fufu, you can praise me even more."

Lightly stroke Lacto's head. The soft blue hair feels good and I want to keep touching it forever. Well, it's not going to be too much of a problem, so keep it that way.

"Hmm, I could have kept going a little longer..."

Releasing her hand, she muttered something in a small voice. When I leaned my neck, I coughed up in a panic and opened my mouth.

"Anyway, now I know." Bring the porcupine to practice parallel chanting

I nod to that word.

Originally, this was a combat practice that assumed Lacto and I were in the same position. Taking her parallel chanting to a level that can be used in real battles is one of the objectives.

From that point of view, the boar changed from a troublesome enemy to a dressed training platform.

"Okay, if that's the case, there will only be practice." I'm going to hunt more and more! "

"Yes, yes, but it's hard for Lacto and I to carry a lot of luggage."

A lacto in which you put your temper and put your fists high. As I hit her with a hammer, I dismantled the boar. You can get quite a lot of meat and fur, but if you collect all of them, the weight limit will come immediately.

"Should we set up a tent somewhere open?" Let's use it as a base for hunting. "

Roger that! Well then, let's find a place.

The lacto nodded in a bouncing fashion and walked out. Looking behind me, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"...... something, Lacto. Have you changed your character?"

What's wrong?

She looks back and leans her head. The figure is no different from her usual.

"No, I think it's because of my imagination. Now, let's go."

I shake my head and disperse my thoughts. Then, he headed deep into the woods.
