Chapter 212 – Difficulty a Monster (3)
At Maybelle’s words, Nellis couldn’t help but tilt her head.
“Practice running fast… What do you mean?”
“Literally? Practice running fast.”
“Why?”
“Huh? You need it!”
Words that are cut short and short.
Kalt saw the scene and thought that Maybelle really didn’t know how to explain.
But I deliberately looked quietly.
Because I don’t think it’s time to intervene yet.
“No, why do you need that! “It’s not like I can move as fast as you!”
“When am I going to move like me! “Just practice running fast!”
“So you have to tell me why I need it!”
Nellis was annoyed at Maybelle for not explaining things properly, and she was annoyed at Nellis for pretending and not understanding.
But I can’t lose my temper openly.
I don’t want to do that for no reason and end up being hated even more by Kalt.
“Woo…”
Maybelle, once suppressing her irritation, said to Nellis:
“You have to run fast, so you can return straight to the front.”
“Return?”
“Difficulty A monster are no joke, right? He’s not as good as me, but he’s faster and stronger than me. But they say you’re a defense type and not a strong god.”
“Yes.”
“Even though Cyclops is big, he’s fast, right? “Can you avoid all those attacks?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen it in person…”
“Can you use Mana Blade?”
“… “No.”
“Then we can’t finish it quickly. “What will you do if you get hit by Cyclops’ fist during the fight?”
“I will use your protection to stop it.”
“If you get hit, I’ll use your protection, and you’ll fly away even if you don’t get hurt, right?”
“Ah…”
Nellis soon realized what Maybelle meant by telling her to practice running fast.
“You meant to practice running fast so that you can return quickly when you get attacked by a difficulty A monster and leave the front line?”
“Okay! I finally understand. “If you pretend, shouldn’t you know?”
“No matter what, it’s too omitted!”
“You just need to know now!”
Nellis and Maybelle, who were glaring at each other, thought at the same time.
‘I don’t like this person either!’
‘I don’t like this guy!’
◈
Horse rest and lunchtime.
Maybelle’s party, Nellis’ party, as well as the accompanying coachman and body recovery team ate the food made by Kalt.
“Thank you, Mr. Kalt. You make it like this for us too…”
The body recovery team bowed their heads and thanked Kalt, not knowing that they would also be exploited.
“No. “We only earn if you move it well.”
The lunch Kalt made today was a stew with plenty of meat.
Of course, the reviews were very positive from everyone.
Maybelle’s party also raised their eyebrows as they ate food prepared by Kalt for the first time in a while.
“Ah… “It’s been a really long time.”
“After I got rid of Kalt, I almost only ate liver transplants.”
Hehe!”
“Maybelle, you don’t have to eat in such a hurry.”
Seeing Maybelle eating a dish that Kalt had enjoyed for the first time in a long time, Kalt reflexively said something.
“Hey, who is going to catch you? “Eat while feeling the real taste.”
“… ! Ugh, yes!”
Although it was nagging, Maybelle was happy just because Kalt spoke to her in the same way as usual.
Because I felt like I was at least making peace with Kalt.
After lunch, there was a brief training session to use the advice given in the carriage.
So that Nellis can move faster in front of Kalt and Maybelle.
Training to focus more of her magic power on her legs so that she can return immediately even if she is hit by a Cyclops attack.
“Then I’ll fly it, so come back quickly, Nellis. “I am protecting you.”
“Yes! Mr. Kalt!”
Ugh!
As soon as Nellis responded, Kalt threw her kick right at Nellis.
Nellis flies backwards quickly after being hit by a kick that combines her original strength, enhanced magical power, and the power increased by awakening to the energy of the evil spirit.
Nellis was surprised for a moment by the speed of her flight, but she immediately rolled onto the ground and kicked the ground.
“Slow! Again!”
However, the speed was not satisfactory at all in Maybelle’s eyes.
Of course, this was not just about the perspective of Maybelle, the fastest warrior, but it was also an opinion that Kalt could agree with.
“Nellis, let’s try again.”
“Yes!”
Meanwhile, Ianna and Marti were also helping Scarlett and Aria with their training.
“Scarlett, you said you could definitely mix elemental magic. Please show me.”
“Good.”
Scarlett performed a spell that worked even on monsters of difficulty level B.
Whoa, whoa!
“… I think it has enough power. But the unfolding speed is slow.”
“What? “This is slow?”
“Yes, at least… “This needs to be sorted out.”
Before starting training, Ianna, who had already been under Kalt’s conditional hypnosis, created a whirlpool by using her magic at a faster rate than Scarlett’s mixed magic.
‘Quick. Moreover, this power…’
Aside from the things she didn’t like personally, she had no choice but to admit it when she saw that it was a skill worthy of a party that was considered the closest to hope.
“Would you like to just use advanced magic instead of mixed magic?”
“Good.”
As Ianna said, Scarlett unleashed the advanced magic she could use.
“… It’s still slow, but it’s faster than mixed magic. Using mixed magic is amazing, but it takes time to form the magic, right? Let’s make it a future task to further increase the speed of mixed magic, and for now focus on producing advanced magic more quickly.”
“Okay.”
Scarlett followed Ianna’s instructions and concentrated.
“As I already said, Aria can’t use Holy Defense at all, so I don’t have any advice for her in that regard. Plus, I can’t use holy attacks either.”
“Yes.”
“But leave it to me how to bestow a stronger blessing on her companion. Would you like to give me a blessing?”
As Marti requested, Aria gave a blessing.
Aria using a blessing.
And when she felt the blessing upon her, Marti spoke immediately.
“It’s a wasteful blessing.”
“What a waste… What does that mean?”
“That’s literally it. Aria, you really… You really have a lot of divine power, more divine power than me. But I’m not handling that divine power well.”
“Yes?”
“So to speak, there is a lot of sacred power being wasted. No matter how much there is, if you use it that way, your divine power will be used up quickly. Moreover, Aria even uses holy attacks that use up a lot of her holy power, right? “You may not know it by now, but you may be at a disadvantage when dealing with difficulty A monster with strong durability.”
“Am I wasting my divine power? But there can be no waste of divine power…”
“There is also waste in divine power. For example, if you just hope for a blessing without thinking in detail about what kind of blessing you want to use divine power, it is easy to waste it.”
This was a phenomenon discovered by Marti, who had been unable to heal many people due to a problem, but after the problem was finally resolved, he wanted to heal more people and wondered how he could bestow blessings on more people.
“It would be difficult to understand just by speaking. So…”
Marti took the dagger out of his arms and lightly cut his forearm.
“Ugh! My dear, please cast a blessing of healing on my arm. First, just like you always do.”
Like Ianna, Marti was under conditional hypnosis in advance, so she did not develop phobias even when her blood was spilled.
“Okay.”
Aria used the blessing as usual, as Marti said, and when Marti cut her arm again, she used the blessing as Marti advised, thinking specifically about what type of healing she wanted.
“… ! “I really used less sacred power than usual.”
“Am I right?”
“But Kalt never said anything like this…”
“It’s natural that Kalt doesn’t know. I also didn’t think there was a need to tell Kalt about this. Phew… Ugh!”
Marti said, hurting his arm again.
“Even if you know the difference once, you can’t reduce the wasted sacred power by being completely skillful. Try again.”
“… Okay.”
I still don’t like the fact that they kicked out Kalt, and I don’t like what they did with Kalt even though Kalt told them to.
Aria reflected on her desire to be more helpful to Kalt and accepted the words of Marti, her experiencer.
While the carriage was stopped, training to deal with difficulty A monster continued, except for eating and sleeping time.
Nellis Party is a place where you can improve your skills during breaks and relieve stress by doing dirty things with Kalt while on the move.
As this process continued for five days, Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria gradually grew.
And it’s been 5 days since we started moving.
The group arrived at the place where Cyclops was said to have appeared.
