by fnovelpiaWhile they escaped safely.
Medusa swung her tail at the frozen children.
Medusa’s tail swing, which was already huge, was powerful enough to blow away the entire party.
Kwaaang-!!!
“Hi!!”
The ordinary soldiers, who saw all of their direct unit members being attacked, became paralyzed and speechless in shock.
After all, it feels dirty to see children hurt and rolling around.
However, it made no sense to not get hurt or fall while hunting monsters, so I had no choice but to hold back and endure my emotions.
A thick cloud of dust rose up and obscured the view, but soon a long stream of water rose into the sky from between the dust clouds.
I immediately found out who created the ability.
‘Vine!’
Wow-!!
As the dust cloud disappeared in the pouring water like rain, I could see the children standing there looking scruffy.
‘How injured are you?’
Franc was also seen using his abilities among the children to treat injured children.
It was something I expected, but honestly, my heart sank when the kids flew away.
While the children are recovering.
Gabriel stepped forward and kept the boss monster in check.
‘As expected, there needs to be a proper tank other than Gabriel.’
It was a pity that Princess Haehwa was empty.
If Princess Haehwa had been there, even if the operation had failed, the children would not have been blown away like that.
thud! thud!
“evil!”
“Ahh!”
While looking at the children, Damon suddenly flew closer and dropped the two soldiers caught in his claws to the floor.
A therapist was assigned to the soldiers who had fallen from a considerable height and were writhing as if their condition had been resolved.
As soon as the soldiers were treated, they noticed and buried their heads.
“sorry!”
“Why did it fail?”
Thalia asked the soldiers.
Actually, I also had a lot of doubts about that part.
Was it that difficult to get the timing right?
In reality, Medusa’s preliminary reaction was so clear that it was difficult not to notice.
My yellow eyes turned red and then started to shine brightly, and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get that moment right.
“It was definitely used. however… “The ability didn’t work.”
“Well, me too.”
In fact, it is said that the soldiers used their abilities normally.
However, the boss monster chewed up their abilities.
‘Dodging has emerged. ‘It makes sense that it didn’t work because the ability was used against a boss monster and not a regular monster.’
They clearly did their job.
It’s just that I wasn’t able to do the job properly because I lacked the skills.
‘No matter what, the cause of failure was lack of skills… .’
Then, it was like there was no way to stop the boss monster from going berserk again.
“We need to recruit people with similar abilities across all units.”
Thalia, who had finished assessing the situation in response to the soldiers’ unfair excuses, understood what I meant and asked.
“I wonder if something that didn’t work will start to work as the number of people increases.”
“You can’t not try. And I’ll have to tell my direct unit to catch him as quickly as possible.”
“I think I’m still doing my best to catch it.”
It is dangerous if the anger gauge fills up again and you go berserk and are attacked by the ability.
Fortunately, unlike in the beginning, the kids are now clearly pushing the boss monster.
As I dealt with it, I gained more and more information, and became familiar with the boss monster’s attack pattern, which made it easier to deal with it.
As I watched the children’s eyes gradually start to turn red again, I felt like they were rushing as if they knew the same pattern would begin.
“Damon, can you help me with the kids?”
-Can I come forward?
“uh.”
Thalia looks at me, but doesn’t say anything directly to stop me from doing it.
It meant that I would turn a blind eye just this time.
“Don’t overdo it, and don’t get excited and go wild on your own. “If the kids seem in danger, act in a way that helps them.”
-Huh, you know instead?
“know.”
Why is Damon so obediently listening to me these days?
That’s because it makes you feel full instead of starving.
There was no reason to be stingy with Damon in a situation where monsters were pouring in from all directions, and it was true that he had a hard time scouting.
And as soon as permission was given, Damon quickly flew to the battlefield as if he had been waiting.
“They’re slowly flocking in. “We are ready too!”
We cleared out all the monsters in the habitat, but we also had to deal with the monsters that flocked in after hearing the loud noise.
“yes!!”
The soldiers were tense at the prospect of another battle.
The commander’s direct unit was dealing with enormous monsters, so it was their job to deal with the monsters that would soon attack.
※ ※ ※
“Why aren’t these guys a little small?”
“It’s definitely smaller than the guys I’ve dealt with so far, but… .”
“It’s a bit easier to deal with.”
“Is it a cub?”
Unexpected information was delivered from the soldiers who were dealing with the monster.
“An entity that appears to be a baby?”
Thalia and I looked at each other and realized that we had finally arrived near the hatchery.
“It appears that the hatchery’s influence extends here.”
“You arrived earlier than expected. “It’s all thanks to you.”
Since we started scouting, the damage to the soldiers has definitely decreased a lot.
Of course, it’s not all my fault.
As experience gained, soldiers also gained know-how in dealing with monsters.
“It is true that it was helpful, but it is largely thanks to the soldiers adapting well.”
Besides that.
“The children are doing well.”
The boss monster’s red eyes were about to sparkle once again.
Unlike the children trying to run away by widening the distance, Damon rushed at the boss monster.
Damon opened his mouth wide and shot black energy towards the boss monster’s face.
Pow!
After hitting the boss monster’s forehead, the energy spread out like fog and wrapped around the monster’s eyes and the snake’s head.
It seemed to make one blind and prevent the snakes coming out of the hair from attacking carelessly.
‘I think that’s the status abnormality ‘Chaos’.’
Even though regular soldiers were fighting monsters, they couldn’t take their eyes off the kids catching boss monsters. I didn’t know that they would learn about Damon’s abilities that they didn’t know about.
‘Could something like that work?!’
The abilities of ordinary soldiers did not work, but Damon’s abilities did.
The boss monster in a state of ‘chaos’ stands tall in place and stirs up black fog with both hands.
The snakes on Medusa’s head also seemed limp and unable to do anything.
‘Now is deal time.’
As I watched, not knowing whether the children would take advantage of this moment, I could see Ariando’s mouth shouting something.
And the other children, who seemed to have heard the sound, attacked the boss monster all at once.
“yes!”
The exact deal time was set.
The boss monster, free from the ‘confusion’, attempts to attack again, but falls down screaming under the constant barrage of attacks.
“Is he dead?”
“I think I’m dead.”
“Now all that’s left is to catch those monsters.”
Young cubs that are not yet fully grown are weak.
However, having a baby was not always a good thing.
When the cubs are fully grown, they reach the castle, which is when they are at their peak of strength, and they usually have good regenerative abilities and are strong.
If there are good points, isn’t there bound to be bad points as well?
Still, the monsters living around the swamp were weak to fire, so they were gradually suppressed through flame attacks.
-Did you see that he died thanks to me?
Damon was drooling as he looked at the boss monster.
Because it was a spirit, it didn’t actually spit out, but it was hard not to notice that it was looking at the boss monster with eyes dripping with honey.
“Man, he can’t do that.”
Naturally, the by-products of boss monsters are very expensive.
You can’t carelessly ask Damon to suck out your life force.
It is true that Damon created the deal time, but the children had a greater stake in killing that monster.
-Just give me the head!
“The most important thing to Medusa is her head, so where are you going to get the price?”
We cut out the trick that wouldn’t work and moved to the place where the children were receiving treatment.
Although regular soldiers were still fighting monsters, there had to be someone to take care of the members of their direct unit who had just finished a difficult battle.
The children, who must have been having a hard time, moved around diligently, carrying water to quench their thirst, towels to wipe off their sweat, and buckets of water to wash their dirty bodies.
The children being treated by Fran could not hide their tiredness, as if it had been quite an arduous hunt.
“Anyone want some water?”
“mister!”
“Wow~ It’s water! “Here and there!”
Water was distributed to the children and towels were also given to them for washing.
“Who is hungry?”
“I think everyone is hungry.”
I nodded to Gabriel’s answer and said.
“You will be able to eat right away when you return. “He’s probably getting ready.”
“We’re still fighting, and I don’t know if it’s okay for us to be like this.”
“No one has anything to say to you. By the way, you were embarrassed when you first went berserk, right?”
“I think they said they would stop it, but it didn’t seem to have any effect.”
It seems that the children also had a general understanding of what was going on.
“Oh, right. “I heard that the first attack the soldiers tried was low-level and ineffective against the monster.”
“But the second time was successful thanks to Damon’s help.”
“okay. “It was fortunate.”
“There was no way to avoid it, so I tried to avoid it by increasing the distance.”
It can’t be easy to come up with a method that we hadn’t thought of while fighting.
“I know you did your best. “Everyone did well.”
“Hehe, I was praised.”
“Treatment is over. “I will treat the rest when I return.”
“Oh my~ let’s go~”
The kids, who were upset, got up from their seats at Fran’s words.
The children’s job was to hurry back and rest to recover their stamina.
