Chapter 52
Chapter 52. Fruits Of Growth
We saw 5 killer wasps fly by at high speed, buzzing their wings.
The distance between each of the five is rather large.
That’s a bit tricky of a pattern since the ranged magic can’t involve all of them.
But Yuzuki is used to this pattern.
“If I can’t get all of them involved, I’ll get as many as possible! [Burn Blaze]!”
The magic fire Yuzuki unleashed exploded, enveloping the three that flew ahead of us.
Kodachi-san and I are on standby to activate the magic.
Waiting for the flames to cease after a moment.
“Yeaah! I got them all!”
Yumzuki’s exultant voice.
After the flames from the [Burn Blaze] had ceased, it killed 3 killer wasps.
During this week-long reinforcement period, Yuzuki achieved the most remarkable growth.
Her level increased by 4, from 9 to 13.
Of the four skill points she gained. She concentrated three of them to [Magic Power Up] skill.
In addition to this, she has also equipped herself with equipment that can enhance her magical power.
As a result, the power of Yuzuki’s [Burn Blaze] has exploded to the point where she can now one-shoot the mighty killer wasp.
A week ago, even [Fire Bolt], which is much more powerful than [Burn Blaze], could not bring them down with a single blow.
However, it’s not a sure thing, and if she involves three of them with [Burn Blaze], it’s possible to miss one or two of them by bad luck in some cases.
Therefore, Kodachi-san and I let Yuzuki shoot the magic first, and then we would move after seeing the result.
So, after confirming that Yuzuki’s [Burn Blaze] had killed all three, I canceled the [Rock Bullet] magic.
As a healer, I shouldn’t needlessly consume MP.
On the other hand, Kodachi-san activates her magic as planned.
“Go, [Wind Slash]!”
Kodachi-san released a wind blade from the dagger’s tip in her outstretched left hand.
The wind blade flew so fast that it couldn’t get followed with normal eyes and sliced open one of the two remaining killer wasps.
The killer wasp didn’t die, but it didn’t matter.
Everything is going according to plan.
I run toward the one that Kodachi-san’s [Wind Slash] damaged.
Kodachi herself is the other one.
“Haaah!”
“Yaaaaaah!”
My partisan and Kodachi-san’s Kris.
The two sword attacks both penetrated one killer wasp at a time.
My spear attack, which a week ago was almost do nothing when hitting the target, can now hit my target easily.
That’s mainly thanks to the agility-enhancing effect of Gale Boots.
The +5 agility effect of the gale boots is not only limited to my running speed but also extends to my overall body movement.
My agility, which had been a slight weakness of mine, seems to have been reinforced to an acceptable level by this.
Both killer wasps get annihilated by Kodachi-san and my’s attacks and turned into magic stones.
The battle was over.
It was a quick and complete victory.
My MP consumption was extremely low, and it was the ideal way to win, as far as I could think of.
“””Yay!”””
I high-fived Kodachi-san and Yuzuki to celebrate our complete victory.
In the end, what we had set our sights on during the week was the first basic tactic for attacking monsters, as oyaji-san at the armory had told us.
In other words, “Attack is the best defense”. Destroy the monsters before they attack you.
For this reason, I specialized in increasing the offensive power of my equipment and skills.
The Gale Boots are part of this strategy.
If that wasn’t enough, we’ll try to improve our defenses, but even without going that far, we could reach the 5th floor with ease.
So, we decided to head for the 6th floor with a full heart.
We had found the stairs to the lower level by chance during the reinforcement week last week, so we just went straight there using the shortest route.
In the 6th layer, the number of monsters is higher than on the 5th floor, and we’ll also encounter new monsters.
In other words, if you have the strength to deal with the swarms of monsters, the 6th floor is a “more profitable” floor than the 5th.
We descended the stone stairs that appeared in the forest, being careful not to get our feet caught in the moss and ivy that grew thickly.
