Chapter 98: Battle in the Forest of the World Tree 2
Lucia began to explain. Globster is the contract for the monsters to come to this place.
She also did not know the reason, she only knew that the sacrificed girls will become energy to allow Globster to use its transfer gate function.
Other than that, if tokens are used to combine with it, it can produce monsters.
As for the latter, it should be the Wasp Nest that Arisu and the others saw in the cave. The girls are forced by the Globster to lay the wasp larvaes, which is really a spine-chilling experience.
「Are only girls able to become sacrifices?」
「According to the reports, it seems to be like that, but I did not witness it personally before.」
I see, so that erotic CG like scene cannot be allowed to be seen by the princess.
It is also like that at our mountain, the orcs will only bring the girls to the cave. Those that can become sacrifices for the Globster, should only be girls.
This is that sort of world, the reason is probably about Mana is what and what, which must be causal. Regarding that, it is better to stop thinking about it.
In actuality, the Globster has already become the cornerstone of the monster invasion.
「If a Globster is in a place, then it will become the gathering point for the monsters. With the power of the transfer gate, then it can summon out new monsters continuously. Once it called out a few monsters like Mekishu Grand, then it is nearly impossible to get that land back.」
Ah —— indeed, that is really so.
Just now at Hesshu・ Reshu・ Nashu, the Hobgoblin commander was forced to summon the Globster but that Globster only managed to summon out 1 Mekishu Grand.
When the city is occupied and there are girls to be used as sacrifices, then it can summon out more than 1 Mekishu Grand.
「Then once this land has a Globster…… it will be bad?」
「Yes. I am not sure about the conditions for the Globster to appear, but if there are too many divine soldiers level monsters appearing in the 23rd District, the upper echelon will abandon this place.」
「So they did not send out soldiers because they wanted to get this place back?」
「As long as we remove this land from the network of transfer gates, then there is no need to worry about the monsters appearing at the centre of the World Tree. We cannot just worry about reducing the number of enemies slowly today since tomorrow is the final battle.」
That’s right. What exactly will happen tomorrow that will cause the destruction of the world?
To the leaders like Rin-san, the death of 100 soldiers are more important than the deaths of 1000 normal people. After all if they fail tomorrow, the people of this land will lose everything.
「Moreover Globster can transfer the worlds. A few of the kingdoms after being occupied for long periods of time by the monsters, they became a strange demon world that no humans can live in.」
「The demon world is…….」
「Grassland with rotting smell, forests with disgusting creatures like in hell, and murky lake with poison etc…… I heard that it is very scary world.」
Ah——so to say, it will feel that the normal land will become a rotting sea?
How long will it take to become like that? In the mountain we are at, we finished that thing off in the morning on the 3rd day…...
「Mmm, since it is like that, then we better find the Globster quickly and crush it.」
「Right, leave it to me! I will Paa—— and cut that weird monster to death!」
Tamaki is full of energy as usual.
Mmm, argh—— fine, I will await that.
We can only keep Mia’s skill points, hence we returned to the original place.
Mia: Level 20 Earth Magic 4／Wind Magic 7 Skill Point 2
◆ ◆ ◆
As we returned from the white room——
Tamaki immediately sweep over with her sword, finishing off the reminder 2 spider-human.
At this time, the Arachne that was defeated in the beginning became a gem.
It’s a blue gem.
Woah—— so one of this fellow has the strength of approximately an Elite orc? With that power, a normal soldier will be useless against it.
The village in the tree began to move, and Arachnes peeked out from various tree holes.
Tamaki followed the plan and did not ran too far, but head carelessly towards the 2 Arachnes that got near.
The Arachnes stopped and shot out white threads from their mouths.
「Wahh, wah——!」
Tamaki who is too hyped up, dived into the spiderweb and in the end she was completely entangled within it.
A human-sized cocoon is done.
Ah—— really, I had already warned her!
But luckily we are just about 30m away from Tamaki, it is a range where attack magic can hit.
「Lucia, use 《Fire Arrow》, the target is Tamaki.」
「Huh……? Y..Yes!」
Lucia seemed to be at a loss for a moment, but still followed my order and used 《Fire Arrow》. The 5 arrows hit Tamaki who was entangled within the white threads.
The cocoon began to burn.
Since Tamaki has the effect of 《Resist Element: Fire》 on her, so she will not suffer too much injuries.
Indeed as I had expected, Tamaki jumped out of the cocoon while screaming “hot”. She used her strength to swing the white sword and scatter the spiderweb that were on fire away.
A part of the web that is on fire, flew to the side of the Arachnes and the spider-humans began to try and extinguish the fire in a panic.
As Lucia had said, there was a heavy rain yesterday. So the trees had absorbed huge amount of water from the roots, and even the barks are wet. Thanks to that, the branches have yet to catch on fire.
「Now, Arisu, Mia」
「Yes!」
「Nnn.」
Arisu rushed out directly. The 《Lightning Arrow》 that was released by Mia, had pierced the Arachnes. Tamaki kept spinning in the air, and was completely giddy, and her steps are also shaky.
「Ahh, Kazu-san, save me——!」
Oi, I had said…..
Ah, forget it, she did fulfil her role as bait.
When Arisu’s spear ran through the heart of one of the Arachne, I leveled up.
◆ ◆ ◆
We are sent to the white room.
Arisu worriedly asked her best friend who just cover in fire just now:「Are you okay, Tamaki?」
「I am fine, thanks to 《Resist Element》, actually it is not very hot!」
「Sorry, Tamaki. But at that time, I felt that it was best to do that.」
「I know, Kazu-san…… but——」
Tamaki gazed at me while saying and laughing with hehe.
「I am waiting for you to console me properly.」
「Ah——nnn, that is of course, will definitely do it until Tamaki is satisfied.」
I caressed Tamaki’s head, and she closed her eyes in comfort. Mmm, that should be enough.
「Then I intend to raise Summon Magic next.」
「Is it okay not to raise Support Magic?」
Arisu was very surprised.
After we formed a 5 member party, if we raise the Rank of Support Magic, then the effect of raising our combat power is also very obvious…...
If we had increased our vanguard then it is fine, but currently there are already 3 people as the rearguard.
「There are too many enemies, if there is a convenient shield, then Arisu can concentrate as a defender. As for Tamaki’s support, we can leave it to the familiars, after all leaving Tamaki alone is…… you understand?」
「Ah…… right.」
「Huh? What? Why is Kazu-san and Arisu seemed to be looking at each other and talking in telepathy?」
You still could ask why, in the chain of battles, the answer is already very clear…...
Leaving a kid like you alone is too dangerous. But that is also your good point.
At least I feel that being able to face an unknown enemy and yet still able to dash forward fearlessly, is a good point. If it is Mia, then she will probably be too cautious.
「Hmm, a suitable person for a suitable task.」
「Is….. That so?」
Lucia tilted her head in confusion. Hmm, that, it is fine even if you don’t understand this sort of trust.
So I raised Summon Magic to Rank 8.
Kazuhisa: Level 26 Support Magic 5/ Summon Magic 7→8 Skill Points 9→1
◆ ◆ ◆
We return to the original place.
The second 《Lightning Arrow》 that Mia had released, shot towards the last Arachne immediately, taking its life.
Its corpse returned into a blue gem.
Yes, it was successful. Though I said so, the enemies have already noticed us and are gathering from everywhere.
Since it have come to this, it seems like there isn’t enough people at the vanguard…...
「《Summon Greater Elemental: Fire》」
A giant who is over 2m tall and wrapped in flames asked my calls, and appeared before me, with a scimitar wrapped in flames.
Rank 8 Summon Magic summons out a higher Ranked version of the Rank 5 Elemental, and this time the Fire Elemental that appeared is bigger than the Rank 5 version.
The combat power of the 2 are quite far apart too. The fighting ability of the familiar is 2 Ranks lower than my Skill Rank, hence this Fire Elemental should be about just as strong as Arisu.
「Mia, help him…….」
「Mmm, 《Fly》」
Mia’s fly magic reached here and the Fire Elemental’s body began to float gently in the air. I also added 《Keen Weapon》,《Physical Up》,《Mighty Arm》 on the Fire Elemental.
「Arisu, retreat! Fire Elemental, replace Arisu and support Tamaki! Go!」
「I understand, Master.」
The Fire Elemental replied with a rough voice and flew into the sky. Lucia, Mia and I gradually rose steady while being protected by Arisu.
In this period of time, Tamaki and the Fire Elemental kept weakening the attacks of the enemy, heading into their formation and destroying everything. When they defeated yet another Arachne, Lucia said:「I leveled up.」
The next second, we are sent to the white room.
