Maybe it’s okay because this is just a game.
Actually facing a monster like this is incredibly tense.
And it’s tough not knowing when it will end.
I wish there was some way to visualize the enemy’s limit, whether it’s numbers or a gauge.
But no matter how much I complain, reality doesn’t change. I have no choice but to keep going.
The Behemoth doesn’t even flinch after three boulders are thrown at it.
It seems annoyed, shaking its head and bellowing. It’s quite impressive.
Even though the battle has just started, the sea is already visible.
The Behemoth’s steps are so large that we have to keep running to keep up. “Are you okay, Mikuon?” Mikuon’s breathing is heavy.
Then her body glows faintly.
Mikuon’s speed increases… or rather, her slowed speed returns to normal.
Chienju cast a healing spell on her. That’s right. We have this.
Since Senyuu doesn’t run out of MP, it’s possible to wage a long battle by restoring the stamina of our allies.
However, the wear and tear on our mental strength is inevitable, so it’s best to settle things quickly.
Or maybe, will we eventually learn how to enhance our mental strength too? “Alright, the sea!” The sea came into view.
Quite a few trees had already been trampled on the way here, but what’s going to happen with them?
According to the mysterious blackboard, plants lost due to Behemoth will take longer to be repositioned.
I get it if they’re eaten, but what about the ones that were trampled?
I missed that part, so I’ll have to ask in the white space tonight.
While thinking about that, I began the fourth drop.
But even the enemy seems to have learned.
It cleverly bent its nose and hit a boulder.
The boulder shattered, and fragments flew around.
Storage seems to recognize me as important, as it can’t catch and store all the scattered fragments.
I’m worried about my comrades as the fragments fly around, but thanks to Seirine’s barrier, the Highrow group seems to be safe.
I saw something invisible deflecting the fragments, so I think it’s okay to make that judgment.
I have a few giant rocks in stock, but they get crushed every time, so the stock runs out quickly.
Then, all I can do is keep the Behemoth’s attention?
No, I understand that this is a major role.
Even now, my comrades are bombarding the Behemoth with magic from behind the invisible barrier.
It seems like an overwhelming task, but the continuous use of magic is not wasted.
Depending on the level of proficiency, the number of spells one can use increases.
The three who can use magic might achieve further growth in this event and reach the sea.
We’re told that we can’t get too far from the island right now.
I asked the mystery blackboard, and if we try to leave, we’ll be gently pushed back.
It’s like when you try to go to the edge of the map or an unreachable place in a game.
The Behemoth stepped on the beach.
With its next step, its foot sinks into the sea, but it doesn’t lose its balance.
The vegetation along the coast will suffer, but fighting here will minimize the casualties. I drop another boulder.
The Behemoth’s long nose moves again.
But just before it hits the boulder, the nose slows down as if it hit something.
As a result, the boulder hits its head again.
Immediately after, it’s stored. Now it can be reused.
I think I hear Seirine laughing from the other side of the barrier.
Thanks to her, I can reuse the boulder.
For the Behemoth, it must be annoying to be toyed with by a little person. “So you’re still fighting.”
Tendo was standing on Mikron’s back.
I didn’t have time to think about it before, but he has pretty good balance.
I get that you used your teleportation ability, but I’m still a bit surprised. “Hey, now.”
Before I could say that there was no time to talk, the Rotating Dharma spoke up preemptively.
“I know. I came to help.” — Got it.
Even if we can’t defeat them, contributing still gets us a reward.
They must have predicted that we’d be fighting and appeared on the back of the ‘place they’ve been to before’—Mikuron’s back.
For us, the Rotating Dharma’s ability is quite useful, so it’s nice to have them here.
“Mikuron… and the dragon too, can you teleport?” “Possible.”
“Alright, hop on the back. Mikuron, you okay with that?”
Mikuron seems to remember the Rotating Dharma, and though he looks annoyed at the man who took me away, he doesn’t seem to mind.
“I’ll keep dodging that nose attack of his.”
“Understood. You offered yourself as a decoy for your beloved woman, huh? Impressive.”
By the way, the Rotating Dharma had already made me their lifelong friend.
Talking to him, Behemoth’s nose comes close again.
But this time, there’s no need for Mikuron to dodge it.
The scenery changes in an instant, and before I know it, the nose passes right below us. This is convenient.
Mikuron looks at me with eyes that say, “I could have avoided it too!” but I pet her and say, “If it makes things easier, that’s great.” Then I drop the boulder.
Seirin’s barrier blocks his nose, and the storage after the hit is successful.
“Hmm. Indeed, with this, we can defeat it if we have enough time.”
That’s right, the problem is that it takes a lot of time.
If it were easy to defeat, they wouldn’t have released it as an emergency event.
“My ability allows me to transfer anything I touch. Right now, I can barely manage this black dragon and you. If you have anything you want me to bring, just tell me.”
I see, so it’s not just about touching something, there’s also a size limit for now.
As I use this ability more, I’ll probably be able to transfer larger things gradually.
“Anything you want me to bring? If there’s something that might work on him, I’d like you to bring it.”
「So you’re saying I should drop something with my attack?」
「That’s right. And since this island has nothing but rocks, that’s about all we can use. Still, it would help.」
If there’s something more effective than rocks, we should use that. But there might not be.
「…Wouldn’t there be something that belongs to someone else that we could use?」
I thought about what the monk said and remembered something. “The airplane!”
Hida had brought a passenger plane to this desert island.
But would he give it to me just because I wanted to defeat the Behemoth? I guess it depends on how I ask.
It’s a pretty good idea, but to do that, I’d have to temporarily leave this spot and go retrieve the plane.
The plane is too big for the monk to carry.
Before I do anything, I need to talk to my friends.
The monk isn’t good at talking to girls, so I’ll handle that part.
“I’ll go talk to Hida first and make the arrangements. I’ve seen that plane before.”
Hida has a plane and is a guy, so there shouldn’t be any problem talking to him.
If you’ve seen him before, you can teleport to his base. “Yeah, I’ll do it.”
When I say that, he says “Yeah” and disappears. “Sousuke!!!”
Was it just a coincidence that I heard her voice during the battle? It was the voice of a summoned spirit.
Kuroryuu Genshou and the summoned spirit riding it, as well as the girls from the Seikou party, were approaching. More and more people are gathering.
This might make it seem more like a raid battle.
