Tentacle Boer immediately moved its tentacles towards the enemy approaching towards it.
-Kuiiit!
Four wiggly pink tentacles growing from its back stretched out toward Nellis.
‘Hi! Geez, gross! but!’
Nellis held back from almost trembling due to the disgusting appearance and focused on the tentacles extending towards her.
‘Before I get caught… Cut!’
It is difficult for Nellis to achieve the same speed as Kalt right now.
But right now, it’s just a matter of cutting off the tentacles coming towards you.
Suddenly!
It was possible for Nellis too.
‘First one!’
Suddenly!
‘two!’
Nellis quickly cut off two tentacles using the movements she had learned from Kalt, and then cut off the third tentacle.
but.
Whilick!
I was greedy and tried to cut down the last tentacle, but I was late and one of my arms got entangled in Tentacle Boer’s tentacle.
“Hi!”
‘It’s slippery! Gross! OMG!’
-Guiiit!
Even though its three tentacles were cut off, Tentacle Boer, which had captured its target, rushed towards Nellis in earnest.
‘Ahh! It’s coming. Okay, we have to cut off the tentacle quickly… .’
“Nellis! Don’t try to forcefully cut off the tentacle! You can handle it well, so use your divine protection!”
“…!”
After listening to Kalt’s advice, Nellis regained her composure and focused on the protection she had.
“Hmph!”
Nellis strengthened her legs as she prepared to face the Tentacle Boer charging at her.
The Tentacle Boar’s tusks strike Nellis.
But Nellis’ body did not fly away.
The Tentacle Boar’s tusks had no impact on Nellis, and the charge only caused him to fall back.
“Haaa!”
Fuuuk!
At close range, Nellis reversed his sword and stabbed Tentacle Boer in the eye.
-Kuiiit!
Damage to the brain occurred immediately after piercing the eye, causing Tentacle Boer to collapse and die on the spot.
“Hey, Mr. Kalt! I did it!”
“Okay. Well done, Nellis.”
Kalt approached Nellis and spoke.
“Even if your opponent attacks, you just have to think carefully about the strengths of your protection and deal with it.”
“yes!”
‘Just as Mr. Kalt said, Tentacle Boer’s charge didn’t hurt. A little stronger than a kobold’s attack? If you didn’t follow Mr. Kalt’s advice and didn’t prepare… .’
In his panicked state, he didn’t even think about catching the charge, and even if he wasn’t hurt, he would have been pushed down by the force and his posture would have been broken.
And if that was the case, it would have taken more time to get it done.
“I’ll take care of it next time. Let’s mine the magic stone first. Nellis, this is your first time mining the magic stone of a complete beast monster like the Tentacle Boar, isn’t it?”
“yes!”
“Then I’ll demonstrate it to you, so watch carefully.”
After teaching Nellis the know-how to mine magic stones from the body of a dead Tentacle Boer, he moved on to hunt other Tentacle Boers.
And two Tentacle Boers appear at once.
-Kuiiii… !
Suddenly!
Kalt before the two Tentacle Boers could react.
Before Tentacle Boer could even move his tentacles.
He closed the distance in one go and cut off the heads of two Tentacle Boers at once.
“Come on, let’s quickly dig up magic stones.”
“Ah… yes, Mr. Kalt.”
‘I thought about it last time, but Mr. Kalt’s speed… ‘It’s no joke.’
The skill of recreating a bloody feast while slaughtering kobolds has not gone anywhere.
Meanwhile, Kalt was mentally thinking about what combination he would use the next time he took the Tentacle Boer.
Tentacle Boar is a monster that Nellis’ party can easily defeat even if they are not confident in its difficulty level.
However, this standard can be met by Nellis alone.
For the growth of the entire party, Nellis and Kalt cannot continue to hunt alternately.
‘Okay, let’s order Scarlet next. Just in case… .’
After retrieving the magic stone, Kalt asked Scarlett.
“Scarlett, have you learned any of the magic from the grimoire you bought yesterday?”
“There is one. Greece.”
Greece.
It was a magic that made the floor slippery and made the opponent fall.
“Okay, then next time we see a Tentacle Boer, let’s test it out.”
When the next Tentacle Boer was encountered, Kalt gave instructions to Nellis and his group.
“Nellis, get ready and get my attention. Sorry, but this time I just got caught by the tentacles and let Tentacle Boer charge.”
“Yes, Mr. Kalt!”
“Scarlett, can you put grease in front of the Tentacle Boer charging towards Nellis?”
“I’ll try.”
“Don’t worry, Scarlett! Even if you fail, Tentacle Boar’s charge won’t be a problem!”
“Who said they failed!”
-Kuiiit!
“Oh, I noticed!”
As Kalt instructed, Nellis did not cut off the tentacle that was reaching towards her, but instead caught it, causing her arms and legs to become entangled.
“Heeek!”
‘It feels weird!’
When the Tentacle Boer decides that the target is entangled in its tentacles and is unable to move, it rushes forward.
“Now!”
At Kalt’s signal, Scarlet waved her staff and activated Grease.
Tentacle Boer’s legs, which were in the midst of charging, made contact with the slippery floor.
-Quit!
The moment the speed applied by the rush touched the slippery ground, Tentacle Boer was unable to maintain his body balance and stumbled and fell.
“Nellis it’s time!”
“Get away quickly!”
With the shock of falling, the strength of the tentacles wrapped around Nellis weakened, and as soon as Nellis gave Kalt’s signal, she quickly cut off the tentacles wrapped around her arms and legs.
“Yaaah!”
He stabbed the sword into the eye of Tentacle Boer, who fell and was struggling to get back up.
After successfully hunting the Tentacle Boer, Kalt immediately praised Scarlett.
“That’s amazing, Scarlett. I’m sure you learned it yesterday. I can’t believe you succeeded so quickly.”
“This tidying up is nothing, right? Don’t make a fuss.”
“However, an ordinary magician would not have been able to use that magic at the exact location at the same time as the speed of the charging monster.”
“Hmph! That’s a lot of fuss. And with my fire magic, I can get rid of it in one hit without having to use any magic.”
“Of course, of course. But since you never know what enemies may appear, it’s important to learn various magic, right?”
“…That’s true. How long will I have to say more than that? I need to dig up magic stones quickly!”
Kalt, who defeated another Tentacle Boer using not only Scarlett’s new magic but also his usual attack magic, gave instructions to Aria this time.
“Arya, use a holy attack from this distance to kill Tentacle Boer.”
“I’ll try it! Phew….”
Exhaling to relax, Arya reached for the Tentacle Bore.
At that moment, a sword of light appeared around Aria and flew towards the Tentacle Boer and stuck in it.
Puff poop!
-Kkuiik!
The Tentacle Boer, deeply embedded with the Holy Sword, fell limp and fell down.
“…Arya’s divine attack is quite strong.”
“Is that so?”
Aria, who had only been assisting from behind and not using sacred attacks much before meeting Kalt, was taken aback by Nellis’ reaction.
“Aria was a candidate for sainthood, right? I wasn’t able to use her actively due to problems, but if she puts her mind to it, Aria can become not just an assistant but a full force as well. Isn’t that reassuring?”
“That’s right… It’s very reassuring! But I will become strong enough that Aria won’t have to use holy attacks!”
“Nellis… Kalt….”
Continuing the warm atmosphere, Nellis’ party hunted Tentacle Boer until lunch and returned.
And when they stopped by the guild to exchange money, Nellis Party met Smoothie again.
“Karl~t~ I’m on my way after making a request~.”
“okay.”
Smoothie’s cheeks looked gaunt compared to yesterday.
‘How organized is it?’
“Are you… are you okay?”
“Hahaha, what do you mean~? I’m fine! It’s just that I fell in love a little yesterday and it lasted a long time~!”
Even as he said that, Kalt didn’t miss the sight of Smoothie glancing at Angela behind him.
For your information, Angela’s skin was very shiny.
“Now that I think about it, why are you in the commercial city?”
“Hahaha, that’s a funny question, Kal~t! You know that a hero can’t stay in one place for a long time~Ah! This is also just a stopover for my party to pass through! Well, it’s true that I came for a purpose~ But I mean!”
“purpose?”
“Kalt, you know this, right? This is the commercial city of Tridia! A city where many things come and go! And here!”
Smoothie said, deliberately lowering his voice for emphasis.
“There is an auction!”
“Ah, that was the purpose.”
Auction house.
It is a place where people compete to buy rare items that are difficult to buy or handle in ordinary stores.
Not only nobles, but also famous or high-income warrior parties or adventurers often participated in exchange for weapons or helpful items.
Kalt had also entered the auction house held elsewhere, if not in Tridia, as a member of the Maybell Party.
‘At that time, Maybelle made a huge fuss to buy the sword from the auction house.’
In the end, most of Kalt’s personal funds and the party’s expenses were spent to buy the sword.
‘Because of that, I had to save money on ingredients, so I made similar menus, and Maybelle complained that she was getting sick of it. Ah, the back of my neck.’
For a moment, Kalt’s neck tightened as he thought about an annoying episode from the past again.
“Cal~t! Are you going to participate in the auction house too? The auction house opens in one week~ one day!”
“No, I….”
Kalt didn’t have anything he wanted anyway, and Nellis Party also bought what he needed right away.
Therefore, there was no reason for Nellis’ party to go to the auction house.
So I tried to refuse.
“Auction house…!”
Nellis was looking at Kalt with bright eyes.
For Nellis, who grew up in an ordinary town, the auction house was a place she had only heard of, but had no intention of participating in.
Seeing Nellis like that, Kalt changed his mind.
‘… Well, a field trip would be fine.’
Kalt changed what he wanted to say.
“Just to look around.”
