「Thunderbolt! Explosion! Thunderbolt! Explosion!」
The new derived attributes that Shinpo obtained through “Ability Awakening” are…
One of them is the basic lightning attribute magic, “Thunderbolt.”
Just as it sounds, it’s a spell where lightning falls on the enemy’s head, accompanied by a tremendous sound and light.
The Needle Demon Tree Trent is twisting its body in agony, screaming from the repeated explosions and lightning strikes.
Since real magic battles aren’t turn-based, it’s possible to continuously cast spells like this.
Moreover, with no limit to the mana and no cooldown, it’s quite impressive.
With the addition of the new enemy, the Unique Monster, Shinpo’s firepower has become even more important for life on the desert island.
“Wow, isn’t this enough with just the four rods?”
Momo’s voice is barely audible over the loud noise as she covers her ears and says that.
My rock attacks are still going on, but I don’t think they’re doing as much damage as Shinpo’s.
Also, since the enemy’s leaves are scattering from Shinpo’s attacks, I’m collecting those as well.
You never know when you might need it later.
Its name is “Needle Demon Tree Leaf” as is.
If the unique monster doesn’t reappear, this battle will be the only way to obtain it.
If you need it later and can’t recover it, it’s best to get it now while you can.
“True, Shizubou-san’s magic attacks are wonderful… but it’s thanks to Kouno-kun’s staff, Mukaishan’s barrier, and Kwan-ah-san’s phantom beast that we’re able to achieve this one-sided victory.”
“I know that! Nene’s like a mom!”
Momo looks exasperated, but Inugai seems to be enjoying it.
“Even if deep magic is the main firepower, the other damage isn’t wasted.”
“As Kouno said. Even though the enemy is so large, it feels like shooting arrows one by one doesn’t make sense, but it’s better than not doing it at all.”
Kitsune is saying this while repeatedly shooting arrows at the enemy’s face.
“Anyway, I want to believe that even dull jobs have their meaning.”
Yumisen wraps the shadow around the enemy’s bark, climbs up, and materializes on a branch.
A huge shadow, resembling a pair of human arms, grabbed and snapped the branches.
“Hey, Yin Sen. Your performance isn’t exactly subtle…”
Yin Sen’s flashy display was impressive enough.
“Eek! Y-Yes, if you say so, Koji-kun…”
Yin Sen was shaking with joy.
“Hmm. Also, the Mystery Blackboard didn’t accept any questions about the Unique Individuals. We should consider that there’s a secret behind it.”
Chiyu, who had grabbed onto my waist, said on the micron scale.
It’s best not to expect me to defeat you one-sidedly.
As if to make that premonition a reality, the enemy suddenly shuddered and—launched an attack.
Countless leaves were released in all directions.
Each one as sharp as a knife, how many thousands were released?
If we can’t see them, it seems the enemy decided to attack from all sides.
That alone makes her a unique individual. “――Storage!”
I shouted and stored as many leaves as I could recognize into my Inventory, but it wasn’t enough to cover everything. An infinite number of leaves were approaching us.
But some of them were repelled by the barrier. It was Serina’s barrier.
However, not all of them were repelled. “Ku, u…!” Serina let out a pained cry. The infinite leaves broke through her barrier.
But we were not pierced.
Because it wasn’t just one barrier.
Every time one barrier was broken, the leaves got closer to us, reduced in number, and broke through again, only to hit the next barrier in quick succession. “Mikron! Hailow!”
The phantoms flew higher than I could call out their names.
Even if we were invisible due to the barrier, the leaves being repelled would reveal our location to the enemy.
Thinking about what comes after this, we shouldn’t have stayed here. “Sorry! I’ll just pass through!” Serina shouted in frustration. “Deep Law!” “Water Wall!!!”
When Serina’s last barrier was broken, the leaves, greatly reduced in number, rushed toward us.
But all of them were stopped by the water wall that appeared just in time, right before they could reach us.
The water wall vanished, and I met Trent’s eyes below.
The enemy’s face was twisted with hatred.
I wasn’t careless, but if I made a mistake, someone could get hurt.
No, depending on where I hit, it could be worse.
I tighten my focus, thinking about the worst-case scenario that could have happened.
“First, I need to get rid of those branches and leaves—Deepfoe.”
I feel bad relying on him so much, but this is the quickest way to victory.
“Got it! ‘Storm Blade!’ ‘Storm Blade!’ ‘Storm Blade!!!!’”
Innumerable invisible wind blades are unleashed from Deepfoe.
As if seeking revenge for earlier, a storm of blades descends upon the enemy.
The enemy tries to defend himself by pulling his roots out of the ground, but it’s useless.
The branches, leaves, and roots are all sliced to pieces.
By then, Sera’s barrier had been fully re-established, and the phantoms had moved, so the enemy wouldn’t be able to pinpoint our location. To top it off, I had stored all of the enemy’s materials.
The naked ‘Needle Demon Tree Trent’ tried to escape, but Sera stopped it with her barrier.
This time, she set it up to prevent them from leaving.
It would probably break after a few body checks, but that much time was enough.
“Explosion Flame! Explosion Flame! Explosion Flame!!!”
The explosive magic with a fifteen percent attack boost was repeatedly cast, making the enemy’s body tremble. And then, at one point.
The ‘Needle Demon Tree Trent’ turned into particles of light and vanished.
For a while, no one spoke. “Y-We did it…”
Deepo was the first to speak, as the hero of the day.
The atmosphere relaxed in response to her words. “You really did it, Deepo.”
Turning around to say that, she showed a radiant smile, like a child being praised by their parents.
The first unique individual had been defeated.
