Chapter 27: Night Hunter
It's been two weeks since I ate an oak heart and broke down, and I've finally mastered the steps.
However, unlike before, it is not made of highly elastic materials, but is solidified.
The surface is barely slippery, but as someone who understands the past, the level of workmanship is completely unacceptable.
"Even so, I was able to use the steps quickly because there was no one to pick up the medicine."
"No, to be precise, someone is collecting medicinal herbs."
However, because I am not used to it, I don't know where the herbs grow in the mountains, and there is also the risk of being attacked by demon beasts, so the herbs are definitely in short supply.
"Now I'm out of balance, and going into the mountains is extremely dangerous for me."
Therefore, I want to be able to protect myself with only the most useful steps.
The capture of wood rats is as good as ever.
He realized that by increasing the strength of the trap, it would be possible to make it the same size as before.
As for the strengthening of the physique, it is still useless.
It's not a question of whether you're strong or not.
Even so, if I didn't practice, I wouldn't improve, so I was a little timidly surprised, but I continued to practice Heavenly Attribute Magic and Constitution Strengthening Magic every day.
The children who were probably scouted by the knights were just as worried as I am now.
Mr. Zeor is still teaching me how to use a stick.
His base ability should not have degraded, but his footwork was poor, so his overall ability had degraded.
"Sorasola, if you only care about your feet, you won't care about tops."
"Uh-uh"
"Don't hang your head, face forward, let's go!"
"Wow, uh-huh, hey"
Even though Mr. Zeor's stick was stuck in Hato's head, he gritted his teeth and stood up after rolling.
"After experiencing the demon spirit rampage, I realized that it is not so easy to become stronger."
Even though I was knocked down and knelt down, I could only stand up and walk on my own feet.
When I finished the race with Mr. Zeor, I could barely stand.
"Alright, that's all for today, let's go home and rest."
"Thank you"
"Hua Wuming, tomorrow I will send Miguel to Ibro, will you go with me?"
"No, it's useless for me now, I'll stop."
"Yes, I understand"
"To be honest, it's fun to go to Ichiro."
"There are some dishes that you can't eat in Rehe Village, and Zeor might be able to take us to the bar."
But this is only an imitation of the adventurers, like the students led by Mr. Zeor.
In order to be able to walk independently as a true adventurer, it is necessary to be able to use magic as before, no, better than before.
For the next month, I spent my head collecting herbs, catching forest rats, practicing stick skills and magic.
It's hard to say that the magic control is perfect, but I've found a way out.
In addition to the main magic, if you activate other magic spells and consume magic essences, you will be able to use magic of the same level as before.
Specifically, it is to use the heavenly attribute magic to create a full set of armor, and wear it to consume magic essence.
The arms, upper arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, thighs, shins, and the face of the head, which can be said to be fully functional, are all made and installed with strong strength, and finally I was able to make something soft. Part.
If we continue to reduce the number of armor parts one by one and still be able to control the magic, then we can go to the next level than before.
By the way, when I tried to make a solid shield, it did not break even if Mr. Zeor cut it with a sword.
"Even if the enemy attacks with a sword, as long as he wears armor, a shield of the same material should be able to block it."
Two weeks later, at the end of May, I received a job request from the village chief through Mr. Zeor.
"Hua Wuming, this is a wild boar hunt."
"It's Nishida, and when I went to catch wood rats, I heard a little story."
"If it's convenient, I'll go out tonight to watch."
"Then I won't be going home for a while."
Originally, wild boars inhabited the hills around the village of Azca, but wild boars appeared from time to time and destroyed the fields in the village.
"This time, it looks like the fields on the west side of the village started to be destroyed five days ago."
Once the crops are destroyed, they can easily get food and taste it, and come down from the mountains to the village at night.
"It's a matter of life and death for farmers."
Nocturnal wild boars hide somewhere in the mountains during the day.
"Sometimes, all the villagers go out to hunt, but not always they hunt well."
Zeor and I received the request because if we could use physical enhancement magic, we would be able to see things at night.
"Now that I have a rough idea of where the wild boars will appear, my plan is to ambush them and then kill them."
I slept from the afternoon until the evening, and only arrived at my post after the sun went down.
At this time, sprinkle a large amount of grass juice on the body.
Aside from the fact that I'm catkins, Mr. Zeor's scent as a tiger might make the boar wary.
"Mr. Zeor, do you mind if I look from above?"
“? Oh, that's good, even a wild boar mongrel wouldn't think they're being watched from the sky. ”
"Mr. Zeor"
"What?"
"If I could, would I kill you?"
"Oh, can you do it?"
"Maybe"
After thinking about it, Mr. Zeor smiled and let go of his cheeks.
"Okay, you can try it."
"yes, then which one to kill first"
"Interesting. Very good, Hua Wuming. Life has to be competitive like this. ”
After clenching our fists with Zeor, we were assigned to our respective positions.
Mr. Zeor hid in the meadow at the junction of the village and the mountain, and I used the steps to look down on the field from a height of about 10 meters.
On this day, the moon is the last quarter moon, the sky is thin and cloudy, and visibility is poor.
"Would you like to try it?"
I tried using probing magic that I've been practicing for a long time.
Along the border between the village and the mountains, a wall was built by solidifying the air into particles that shatter at the touch of a touch.
"With this, even if you get out of the blind spot, you shouldn't miss it."
"It's still early at night in Azca."
"Because the magic stones and the oil for lighting the lamps are wasted, when the sun goes down, every family goes to bed early."
There are no street lights in the village, and when the lights in the house go out, they can only rely on moonlight and starlight.
For ordinary people who can't use physical enhancement magic, the world is almost pitch black.
"He's coming..."
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the wild boar appeared.
It appears that they are targeting the potato fields of the north, not the ones they have ravaged so far.
"Huge..."
At first glance, it is about 2 meters long and weighs more than 300 kilograms.
First, in order to cut off the retreat of the incoming wild boars, they lined up the spear tips along the border of the mountain.
At a height of 30 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm above the ground, make 10 m long supports at 30 cm intervals.
In addition, I have prepared a spear that can be added at any time.
After the preparation was completed, the boar was crossed by footwork, driving it from the other side of the spear.
"What are you doing, bastard!"
The wild boar suddenly screamed from the darkness, jumped up, and ran towards the mountains.
"I immediately started chasing the boar."
"Buki! Buggy, Bugy! ”
The tip of the spear I used to make would break and disintegrate when it touched a wild boar, but now it's stuck there, motionless.
I wiped off the spears that were not stuck in the boar, rearranged them, and surrounded the boar.
"Booki, Booki, Booki!"
The boar went on a rampage, spears pierced everywhere, and blood was dripping.
"Uh, do you want me to stop"
I made a wide spear that could hold weight.
I stepped on it with one foot and jumped down from a height of about three meters, aiming at the thick neck of the wild boar.
"Buki III"
Feeling the spear piercing the flesh, it immediately flew out of the lance spacer around the boar and landed on the grass.
The boar's neck was cut off, blood flowed, and it became furious, but it could not escape the siege.
"Hua Wuming, you kill it!"
"Yes, it's just a matter of time!"
Mr. Zeor, who rushed over with a spear in one hand, nodded loudly when he saw the weak boar covered in blood.
"You're doing a great job, Hua Wuming! If you can win such a big game alone, you're a complete person. ”
"Mr. Zeor, you're not dead yet, let's rest first."
"Hahahaha, this guy has one."
Perhaps because of the echo of the wild boar's screams, the village houses lit up and the villagers could see their faces.
"Oh, it's okay, I killed the boar!"
When Mr. Zeor shouted loudly, the lights of the house flickered and cheers rang out.
Killing wild boars protects the fields while providing a feast for the village.
"The protagonist of tomorrow's celebration is you, Hua Wuming."
"I don't care about being the star of the celebration, but I want to eat delicious food."
"Hehe, tomorrow I will ask the village chief to open the treasure wine."
Thinking of tomorrow's party, Mr. Zeor touched his chin in a good mood.
