Day 57 – Afternoon, Dungeon, 44F
Having no way to escape the rain of arrows, enemies are riddled with arrows and shot down. This is a one-sided carnage.
Bows are scarier than I thought. A hail of arrows created by firing in a volley leaves no escape. And repeated fire turns into a continuous torrent of death, which stops only for the enemy to be then charged and completely overrun. Since the attack comes from above, it makes defending from it that much harder, and while one tries to protect oneself from attack from above, they are charged from the front, making it extra nasty. As expected, humans are the ones to look out for.
Aiming the spears, charging in at high speed with their shields, sending the enemies flying, the others follow into the breach and shred the enemies to pieces, turning it into a melee, annihilating them. Bows are crazy, enemies are getting simply destroyed. A high-speed ranged attack is dangerous on its own, but with numbers and a proper command, it becomes a tactical-grade weapon. A one-sided offensive with no room for retaliation at all.
「Aren’t bows amazing?! We can attack as much as we want with the initiative always on our side!」
「Volley fire is amazing, right~? I finally understand what 『Rain of Arrows』was about.」
「Even knowing that they’ll become defenseless from the front, they still try to defend themselves from the arrows.」
「Charge as you please, do what you want? Enemies are completely at our mercy? Isn’t it unbeatable when it works?」
「Don’t let your guard down. Since our accuracy is still low the arrows end up scattering, and in repeated shooting, it’s not even a volley anymore from the third shot? We must practice!」
Pres-sama seems to be dissatisfied, but level 40 monsters are obliterated, unable to do anything. Simply destroyed, without putting up a fight. And this is still only a practice for a real fight.
「The switch to charging is a bit slow though? I can’t bring myself to just throw the bow to the ground? Also, mixing magic in is impossible for now.」
This might be a problem for swift or sturdy enemies, but it should be overwhelming versus normal packs of monsters or human armies. She has gone and done it again. Back then, the geeks suggested making 『Composite Bows』, and today, they mentioned trying to make『Large Ballista』, They are totally militarizing. In that case, the librarian is definitely behind this. She understood that Armored Pres and I aren’t suited for group anti-human battles. That’s why she is trying to specialize the classmates for war. She might be doing this to protect me, but this is war, in other words, people killing each other.
Well, she is surely acting with full awareness of this. I don’t think the pres and the others don’t understand. Is this something they have to go this far to prepare themselves for? The girls that some 2 months ago were just normal high-school students?
The idiots are fine. They have an instinctive understanding of killing and betting one’s life on the line, and it is also what they’ve been longing for for so long. They don’t even need to resolve themselves, it’s dubious if they understand the concept in the first place. The only thing that is clear is that they have no understanding of how to use a boomerang! Why after shooting with a bow, do they have to switch to boomerangs and rush to club the enemies?! That is a ranged weapon! Throow it, dammit!
However, the pres, who obtained all sorts of skills through『Plunder』is one thing, but what is going on with the bitches’ outstanding adaptability? By now they are proficient with sword, spear, shield, offensive magic, protective magic, and healing, and now on top of that, they have mastered bows. They are also using some simple techniques for debuffing, how? If it was simply due to skill sharing from me, they wouldn’t have learned so many techniques? And yet, they can use it all. Even things for which they don’t have skills?
The 44th floor was also quick. While it’s a tactic meant for swarms of monsters, when it works, it’s overwhelming. In fact, while a huge pack of『Blue Wolves Lv44』was trying to throw them off by sprinting around, they were still annihilated by inescapable volley fire. If the ceiling was a bit higher, it should’ve been possible to annihilate enemies from over 1km range. They have a firm hold on the initiative now. If it’s not an open area with numerous enemies it tends to get wasteful, but since they can one-sidedly pick off enemies from long range there is still an advantage to it. It would be perfect if we also had That thing.
Now, here comes another hidden room. They only need to clean up the blue wolves that managed to run away, so it’s fine to leave them be.
「I’ll check the hidden room while you are at it? I’m totally not running away because I can’t be bothered to gather magic stones~. I have a date with Treasure Chest-san, so I must go. Probably?」
「「「Good luck. But damn you for running away!」」」
Since blue wolves kept running around like crazy, picking up magic stones seems like a huge hassle, plus, there is a monster in the hidden room. I mean, Armored Pres-san is at her limit with the frustration, and I’m willing to help her relieve it any time of the day as many times as necessary, but it’s not that sort of frustration, it’s another, more violent one, so it’s about time I give her some piece of action? Of course, it is obvious and natural that my type of frustration is of a non-violent and very wonderful type. That’s because all of the world’s highschool boys are anguished with that type of frustration non-stop. No, seriously.
Oh my, how strong, the Big Blue Wolf turned out to be a lot stronger than expected. Its name reminded me of the wolf representative of the green victims of that freak accident, so I took it lightly, but it’s pretty strong. Truly fitting to be called a demon beast.
The previous one died on impact before it noticed anything, so I had an easy victory but fought properly, it is quite tough. With the agility of a wild beast paired with its SpE, it displays swiftness and sharpness exceeding its stats. Indeed, with this strength, it might be impossible for adventurers under Lv100 to even grasp its movements. But well, with Armored Pres-san as its opponent all of this is pointless.
And perhaps she was just that bored, but she is currently enjoying her needlessly long high-paced combat with the big blue wolf. I also would like to enjoy my time with Armored Pres-san, but I doubt it’s possible until the evening. I get a flat gaze from her the very moment I think of something lewd? Repeatedly? Well, which is expected, since I don’t stop thinking about it. Or rather, if you have time to glare at me, then hurry up and finish already? Even I am doing my best, enduring in expectant anticipation the moment when we can enjoy our private time? I mean, there is a huge issue with how sexy she looks in the armor, in some particular light the curves look so sensual that it would’ve been enough to get banned from broadcasting, making me want to start the action right then and there while still in that armor? I’m very serious? I want to do this.
And so, while handling the big blue wolf’s swipes and dashes she keeps glaring at me with a flat gaze, flat gazing at me as she is slashing the wolf apart in a deadly dance. It looks like she might be angry later, so I’ll try to keep my fantasies in moderation, that’s the best I can do, after all, there is no stopping them? After all, the highschool boys’ drive for ERO is eternal and perpetual.
Now, under a close flat gaze, I open the chest and find another pair of boots? Is this a shoe dungeon? Well, we do have a deficit of gloves and boots, so it’s alright, but unless 30 pairs drop at the same time it’s hardly enough to cover everyone’s needs. In that regard, isn’t it lucky to get full plate armor all in one piece? Or maybe it’s a detriment since you won’t be able to equip quite as many items? Well, it’s probably not something I should be worrying about in my Villager Set, but I probably should give more priority to infusing and mithilifying full-body blade armor.
「Well, it’s another pair of boots, this time『Kicking Boots – PoW SpE ViT 30% Up, Kick Attack, +ATT 』, so, for kicking? Is this for Pres-sama? But they are not high heels, they are not for trampling? Kind of?」
「「「Aah~, they aren’t high heels~.」」」
「Why are my boots set to be high heels?! I’m not going to wear that! What are you going 『Aah~』for? What is that『Aah~』supposed to mean? Why would you do that?」
This one is also going to be either voted or auctioned when we get back. It has PoW, SpE, ViT 30% Up and +ATT as well, so it’s good enough even without kicking. But I wonder if『Kick Attack』will affect trampling and crushing? If so, maybe I should add heels? Crushing under a hell while swinging a whip, why does it suit her so much?! No, it’s nothing. I didn’t say anything? Well, I did imagine it a little bit, but I didn’t say anything? I’m really innocent? Well, I did think that I should make a bondage dress, but I only thought about it? No, don’t touch the whip? No heels too? If I get any more new doors open, the closed ones will become the minority? Yes, I apologize. I’m sorry, please no whip. 『Chain Whip of Savage Lightning』is really too much. I’ll go into eternal sleep before I get a chance to awaken to any new fetishes. Flat Gaze is more than enough, I won’t do it again. Probably?
I got scolded & Flat gazed.
But a long-coat style leather bondage dress should have high defensive power, even more so since I’ll put additional straps. In that case, I should lace it up, adding gaps and see-through parts that would give glimpses of the pres’ beautiful snow-white skin, go full eroist, utilizing the eroticism of bondage… No, it’s a misunderstanding! I was merely thinking of a draft for new equipment! Eh? Really? I was muttering that aloud? From which part? Aah, from 『The tightness of this area is a sensual violence~』? Then I said『That corset-like waist is such a delight~!』too? Aah~, that’ll get me scolded~.
Naturally, I got scolded and flat stared at in tears.
Well, our dungeon has just begun? No, I’m really sorry? Alright, let’s pat her on the head. And if I give her sweets it’ll definitely solve everything. In the previous world patting on the head and giving sweets also solved the problem or the police were called, so it should work just fine. Of course, it goes without saying that she quietly took and munched a sweet potato. See, I did nothing wrong after all? She is eating it with such a bright smile? Sort of?
