ââ Me, Asuna, and Natsukawa-san. The three of us will be vanguard. Sakura and Class Rep are in rear support. And Takanashi-san eill stay close to the them, so we have her protectedâ
We decided everyoneâs positions in our new 6 member party, before restarting our dungeon capture.
There were a few accidents here and there, but now weâre all set. Takanashi-sanâs remodeling had borne excellent results, and our dirty clothes were done being washed and mended.
In the first place, the reason why this incident, that is, why Takanashi-san had a maddened runaway, happened was because Class Rep had applied Mimesis Worms on everyoneâs clothes so that theyâd get fixed while they washed up. She had thought it to be a beneficial action, but Takanashi-san went and carelessly tried picking up her uniform instead of the prepared gym clothes. This is where she ended up touching the object of her fears, the insect, the Mimesis Worm.
A sad tale. Nobody was at fault, with everyone being only a victim, an unfortunate conclusion.
âIâm really sorry Yuuto-kun, I never imagined itâd turn out like thatâ
Apologized Class Rep garbed in her gym clothes in such a nonchalant expression that I felt a bit of anger boiling up. That damn Class Rep, itâs because she hadnât had her underwear seen that sheâs so awfully composed.
Anyway, letâs forget grudges of the past, and focus on the dungeon before us.
Our originally stable 4-member party now has the powerful swordsman, that is Asuna, and though she canât fight, she can help by improving and replenishing our equipment, and support us in a bunch of other ways, Takanashi-san. These two would make us all the more strong.
âThis area appears to be mainly Skeletonsâ
It has been an hour since we started walking. And with the only monster weâve encountered in that time being Skeletons, I can agree with Sakuraâs observation.
Despite being somewhat the representative of all weak monsters, the Skeletons appearing here had weapons of much better quality, and with their newfound swift and powerful movements, they turned out to be quite powerful enemies. Herded into groups, or rather I should say platoons, of 5 to 10, they even showed signs of organized movement.
And deserving special attention is the captain of the Skeletons leading those platoon. The troops wore thoroughly blackened (they were likely white before), tattered surcoats, and equipped themselves with iron swords and spears with only a tinge of rust. However, the Captain Skeleton had on an iron helm, and with body armor, gauntlets, and leg pieces, it came fully protected. The great halberd it held was not rusted, but had a dull gleam of steel, clearly displaying good quality. In addition, it also had a round iron shield, strengthening its defense even further.
âI donât think my Slash can go through all of thatâ
âRight, it really looks tough with all that armor. Souma, youâre lucky you got that Breakâ
âYeah, itâs like in a game, blunt force is more effective on Skeletons every timeâ
When that Boss Goma was swinging around its Demon Sword, at times, as if releasing a battle art, it made a noticeably powerful strike. Even if that didnât hit you, it made a shockwave so strong that just being nearby would almost get you blown away. That would be its Break.
Since it was using that move, I must have acquired it when I beat it.
âBut whatâs being really useful here is Sakuraâs light-attribute right?â
This too was exactly like in games. The Skeleton, a monster of the genre known as undead, is greatly weakened when against the light attribute. Itâs a fact weâve known since the time when it was just me and Sakura.
With a simple Lux Sagitta, the Skeletons crumble and turn to ash. The aiming doesnât matter. Just by sliding against an arm or leg, the arrow of light causes annihilation.
Itâs probably from all the experience fighting, but Sakura attained some new skills.
