Sacred Spear
I enter Harubaâs 23rd floor.\n
I plan on testing both the Sacred Spear and the Earring of Offerings.\n
Itâs scary to suddenly test it against Scissors Lizards but we have already tried it prior to testing the Sacred Spear.\n
There wonât be any trouble, hopefully.
I manage to defeat the monsters faster than when we tried earlier.\n
Iâm becoming fairly stronger.\n
The basic Sacred Spear is weaker than the Rod of Offerings but the Earring of Offerings has 2x Intelligence skill attached.\n
So itâs alright.
Thereâs another merit in using the Sacred Spear.\n
Like Sherry, I can thrust the spear from the second row.\n
Itâs possible to attack the monsters from behind Miria or Vesta.\n
As for Roxanne, itâs too dangerous to stand behind her.
With the Sacred Spear, I can attack during the cooldown period of the spells.\n
For now, I will only be able to poke them but once I get used to it, I may be able to kill them.\n
Also, it will become much easier once I attach MP Recovery skill.
âThe only monsters ahead seem to be Ma Breams.â\n
âOh, I see. Amazing as always, Roxanne. Because Iâm going to test something next, it will take longer to defeat the monsters.â
After Roxanne informs, I put the Sacred Spear back and take out the Damascus stick.\n
After all, it will be better not to test Damascus stick against Scissors Lizards.
The monsters appear.\n
Two Ma Breams.\n
I cast two [Sandstorm]s.
I start running once I was done casting but no one else moved.\n
Why?\n
Eh? I see.\n
Because they are just Ma Breams, it isnât necessary for us to close in to them.
Is that the reason why Roxanne informed?\n
I didnât tell them that I will be using Damascus stick or that I want to test something against Ma Breams.\n
Was there an instruction not to run when itâs just Ma Bream?\n
I hate running with the Sacred Spear so I put it back in my Item Box. Had I known we would be engaging them like this, I wouldnât have removed it.
Neither Miria nor Vesta started running.\n
Sherry wouldnât in any case.\n
When I passed by the two of them, Iâm pretty sure they were surprised.\n
Iâm probably the only one who didnât understand.
I cast spells again with a face as if nothing happened.\n
Iâm glad a wizard can cast spells while moving.\n
I would be embarrassed if I were the only one to start running like a noob.
The Ma Breams have been defeated.\n
As for the attack power of the Damascus stick, itâs higher than a rodâs but lower than a staffâs, huh?\n
Thereâs also the effect of 2x Intelligence skill of the accessory, of course.\n
Although I canât use it as main weapon for itâs weaker than the Sacred Spear, itâs more than enough as a spare.
I equip the Sacred Spear again and continue with the exploration.\n
We encounter four Scissors Lizards and one Rtoll Troll.\n
Itâs a big family.
This time, the four girls start running immediately.\n
They understand it fully, huh?\n
Itâs confusing.\n
From the same spot, I cast two [Sandstorm]s and follow them.
I have to cast fire spells if Iâm to defeat the Rtoll Troll first but I canât for the Scissors Lizards are resistant to fire.\n
Even if they werenât resistant, it would still be difficult to decide whether to give priority to the Rtoll Troll or the Scissors Lizards.\n
Right now, it doesnât make any sense to reduce the group by one Rtoll Troll.
The Scissors Lizards is stronger compared to the monsters from 22nd floor.\n
I canât afford to delay finishing off the Scissors Lizards.
Roxanne and company confront the monsters.\n
The front row, comprising the Rtoll Troll and three Scissors Lizards, attacks.
âItâs coming.â
A magic formation appears under the Scissors Lizard in the back row.\n
Sparks start dancing immediately after Roxanneâs warning.\n
Itâs an area of effect magic attack.\n
It looks like the monsterâs area of effect magic attack isnât much different from [Firestorm].
In an instant, my whole body heats up.\n
My chest tightens and my joints start hurting.\n
My toes feel like they have been plucked.\n
My skin burns *chirichiri*; A scream of pain leaks out of my mouth.
The three Scissors Lizards, without missing the chance, start attacking.\n
Roxanne dodges it by twisting her body; Miria leaps back; Vesta blocks it with her swords.\n
Itâs good that they avoided the attacks.\n
I would have been hit for sure had it been me.
Albeit for a moment, I felt pain.\n
When the heat cools down, the pain eases up.\n
It doesnât seem to have spread to the clothes and the rucksack.\n
Only the body seems to be affected by the heat.
The Rtoll Troll is late as it smacks its big arms down.\n
Roxanne, however, dodges it like nothing happened.\n
I exact my revenge and cast [Sandstorm].\n
Sherry readies her spear and keeps a close eye on the monsters to prevent them from attacking again.
Scissors Lizardâs area of effect magic attack doesnât seem to possess enough power to be fatal.\n
It isnât strong enough to cause death in one or two hits.\n
I cast [Sandstorm]s in succession and defeat the monsters before they could pull something off again.
âWas that the area of effect magic attack?â
Iâm still not confident that I can withstand a second one.\n
And it would be even more dreadful if it were in quick succession.
âIt felt like the area of effect magic attack was stronger. Was it my imagination?â
I had [Plating] cast on Roxanne when she received the single target magic attack before.\n
Itâs impossible to accurately measure the power of the attack anyway.\n
To measure it accurately, you would need to take several attacks and die. Thatâs the only way.\n
I donât want to measure it.
âIâm not sure but it isnât like we canât withstand it. Even if it were strong, nothing could be done about it. But there shouldnât be any problem since most of us can withstand it.â
Sherry says something reliable.
âYes, desu.â\n
âDid any of them drop leather?â
Miria brings leather over while I was healing everyone.\n
She has already forgotten how to say leather in Brahim.
âYou are right. If itâs this much, thereâs nothing to be worried about. Ah, I donât need healing anymore.â
Vesta declines healing after only once.\n
Sheâs reliable, too.\n
Is she sturdy because sheâs dragon knight?
âEven if thereâs no danger anymore, I would hate it if any damage were left.â\n
âOkay, Iâm fine now. Thank you very much.â
She didnât decline out of modesty, did she?\n
As for me, I heal myself once more, even though I feel just fine.
Whatâs the difference?\n
Is resolution the difference?\n
I continue with the exploration after healing was needed no more.
When we receive area of effect magic attack, itâs troublesome to heal everyone right then.\n
If I didnât heal them now and they were to receive damage during the next battle, Iâm afraid I wouldnât be able to help them at that time.\n
I hope I will be able to heal everyone at same time after I acquire Priest.\n
Or should I have Sherry take up the job of Shrine Maiden?
It would be better to make Sherry a shrine maiden but I would like her to level Master Smith up.\n
Even more so, when I think of all the new equipment she will be able to make in the future.\n
Miria would be an assassin and I would like to have Vesta carry on as a dragon knight.
After the process of elimination, only Roxanne remains, huh?\n
Roxanne seems to be able to take up any job.\n
I guess it will be better as things are going to be more difficult from now on.
Thereafter, I finished the exploration in the evening, prepared the bath and completed rest of the dayâs activities.\n
After Roxanne, Sherry and the girls tidied up after the dinner, only smithing was left.\n
It was easy to prepare the bath this time for I set up Basic Water Magic as the skill of Jobless. Today, the temperature seemed high.\n
I felt refreshed after the bath.
I raked a bit of sweat today.\n
It wasnât that hot inside the labyrinth, though.\n
Will night be sweaty, too?\n
It was chilly early in the morning, though as I was sticking to Vesta.
Anyways, we finished the dayâs activities with the bath.\n
After the bath, I finished the nightâs activities.\n
Because of Sex Maniac, I didnât get tired.\n
Even after the hips workout, I didnât get tired.
The next morning. I grab the map and enter Quratarâs 22nd floor.\n
It isnât necessary to enter 22nd floor early in the morning but I would hate it if it were crowded.
âAs for Miriaâs job, Iâm thinking of making her an assassin since she has the Estoc of Petrifaction.â
I tell them at the entrance of 22nd floor.\n
Miria has finally reached Warrior Lv30.\n
She has acquired both Knight and Assassin, obviously.
I told them because I would feel bad if I changed it quietly.\n
Even though itâs Assassin.\n
Would she dislike it?
âOkay.â\n
âSure. I think itâll be great to be able to inflict poison.â\n
âOkay, desu.â
Even though the title of the job is Assassin, they didnât dislike it?\n
I was worried for nothing, it seems.\n
Being Lv1 is a concern, however.
âSince itâs a new job, Miria will need a little time. How about placing Miria in the back?â\n
âI donât think itâs necessary.â\n
âThereâs no such consideration when a party changes a slaveâs job in the guild. Such consideration isnât needed.â\n
âFine, desu.â
Roxanne, Sherry, and Miria insist that itâs fine.\n
In a party, the job effects of every party member are shared.\n
She wouldnât be any weaker even if she became Lv1.
âErr, is there really no problem?â\n
âSince we donât know as to how long she will need to stay in the back, and since the monsters on 23rd floor can use area of effect magic attacks, she wonât be safe even in the back.â
What Sherry said seems reasonable.\n
I have Gained Experience 20x on, and I can see the level, too.\n
The only floor, where Miria will be safe in the back row, is Quratarâs 22nd floor, probably.
âI understand. Still, be extra careful for a while.â\n
âOkay, desu.â\n
âDo you want to give the Estoc of Petrifaction a try, Vesta?â\n
âUmm, I think I want to.â\n
âAlright then, when there are fewer monsters, Miria will pass her sword to Vesta and go to the back row. There shouldnât be any problem in falling back to the second row.â
I propose a compromise plan.\n
It will be better to switch Miriaâs job to Assassin when there are no more than two monsters.\n
Itâs easy for me for I can use Party Job Settings whenever I want.\n
She wonât be able to notice if I switch her job back to Warrior Lv30 when there are three or more monsters.
âOkay, desu.â\n
âThank you very much.â\n
âWell then, can you please find places with fewer monsters along the route?â
I hand the map to Roxanne and ask of her to guide us.\n
If there are two monsters, I will leave it to Roxanne and Vesta.\n
When Miriaâs job is Assassin, I will send her to the back row.\n
I can let her attack from the side if there are no more than two but itâs better for her to stay safe.
Leveling up of Miriaâs Assassin job is going smoothly.\n
I now look forward to Vesta inflicting petrifaction.\n
Vesta manages to petrify a monster after advancing to some extent through 22nd floor.
âI was able to do it.â\n
âDid it, desu.â
The Clamshell has been petrified.\n
I finish it, along with the one Roxanne was keeping company, with a [Sandstorm].
âWith this, Vesta has experienced the Estoc of Petrifactionâs power, too.â\n
âYes, I think itâs a great weapon.â\n
âFrom now on, Miria will be using it. Donât overdo it, however, since I just changed your job.â\n
âOkay, desu.â
Her Assassin job has now reached Lv5.\n
She should be fine fighting on the frontline.
âYou can take us to the boss room now. Thereâs no longer any need to find places with fewer monsters.â
I change my instructions. Roxanne continues to guide us.\n
We fight on several occasions on the way but Miriaâs chance of inflicting petrifaction doesnât seem to have increased.\n
Thatâs fine.\n
Rather, I should say itâs better.
Thereâs a skill of Assassin: Abnormal Status Rate Up.\n
If the chance of petrifaction increased after becoming an assassin, it means the skill was effective.\n
However, if it didnât increase, it doesnât necessarily mean that Abnormal Status Rate Up skill didnât work.\n
If the chance of petrifaction doesnât increase after becoming an assassin, then it means Abnormal Status Rate Up skill depends on the level of Assassin.
Regardless, I plan on having Miria carry on as an assassin.\n
Her level will go up soon.\n
If Abnormal Status Rate Up skill depends on the level, the chance of petrifaction will increase eventually.\n
I look forward to her level increasing.
Miria manages to petrify the Oystershell.\n
Is it due to Assassin or not?\n
Its affinity with Gamblerâs Abnormal Status Resistance Down skill seems to be good.
I donât understand, though, as to how the shell of Oystershell, which is stone to begin with, turned into stone.\n
I wonder if it just stopped moving.\n
Without selecting Cook, I clean it up using magic after sending Durandal back.
As expected, the Oystershell didnât leave Oyster behind.\n
It would be a problem if we obtained just one.
I hand Vesta the Volley which was left behind.\n
Considering Vestaâs need for Volley, she will be receiving a lot of favors on Quratarâs 22nd floor.\n
Also, I can perhaps confirm as to how crowded the boss room is in the evening.
