Chapter 45 – Part 1 Hunter – World Boss (2)

“Is the Imperial Hunter stronger?”

At my question, the defeated soldiers smile self-deprecatingly.

“Keuhehe. Kid, don’t you know anything? Nothing. Compared to the Empire guys, our Kingdom Hunters are at the level of child’s play.”
“They invested in hunter training 100 years ago, so it can’t be helped that there is a difference. The land itself is attached to the Demon King’s territory, so they are always fighting on the front line.”
“More than anything, there are people called warriors.”
“In the first place, those who sprouted in the kingdom will all go over to the empire, so they can’t be overturned anymore.”

Hmm. Moving over to the Empire, was there such a way?
I have no complaints about my life right now, but since I don’t know what will happen later, I’ll have to keep it in a corner of my head.

However, since these defeated soldiers were hunters with no will to fight, I couldn’t hear anything about how to attack Zirkanten. I only had 5 minutes, but I wasted 1 minute.

“For now, let’s see how others fight.”

Anyway, this time I came here for experience. I decided that it wouldn’t matter if I spent only 5 minutes and went back, and decided to observe the other hunters fighting Zirkanten from a little closer.

The melee job is aiming for the grounded Zirkanten’s toes and wielding his weapon. They are shooting flashy skills and building up damage little by little, but I see a lot of people getting trampled to death or flying after getting hit by their tails.

Archers and magicians were attacking from a little distance away. It seems to settle down in a safe place and attack, but is soon burned to death by fireballs pouring down from the sky. In the meantime, there are people who move quickly around and avoid the fireballs.

Occasionally, Jirkanten spreads its huge wings and soars up into the sky, spitting fire out of its mouth. Then, the hunters flocked to Zirkanten’s feet, which flew in perfect order. The range of the breath is medium to long, and if you stick closely, it doesn’t seem to take damage.

When Zirkanten vomits his breath and lands on the ground, the attack begins again. And it goes back to the scene you saw for the first time.

“Hmm. Does this have a pattern?”
“I think so. Step on. Step on. Tail swing. Step on. Bite. Wide-area fire magic. Step on. Step on. Tail swing. Step on it. Bite. Fly and breathe in the back row. This pattern is repeated.”

I was dazed by Minerva’s amazing analytical skills.

“…Did you memorize it all in a minute? Is Minerva a genius?”

As I admired, Minerva frowned at him.

“What? You would have known if you had been watching. Or are you being sarcastic?”
“I’m really complimenting you. Trust me. Anyway, since you know the pattern, it’s as if you’ve cleared it.”

I summoned Sleipnir from the ministry.
Perhaps excited by the atmosphere of the battlefield, Sleipnir raised his front paws and cried as soon as he came out.

Hee hee!”
“Noisy. Stay calm.”
“Hee hee…”
“Minerva, let’s go like last time. I’ll attack from behind, so Minerva controls Sleipnir to avoid the fireball and breath.”
“Okay.”

The operation is simple. While Minerva rides on Sleipnir and avoids Zirkanten’s attack, I stand behind and shoot arrows diligently.
3 minutes left. We’re low level and only have 2 people, but we’re better off than the defeated soldiers watching from behind.

“Here!”

Minerva gives the reins and Sleipnir starts running. I, riding in the back, am aiming an arrow at Zirkanten’s head.

The range is instantly reduced from 155% to 130% and 110%. Sleipnir runs incredibly fast, but the feeling of riding is surprisingly good. Aim doesn’t shake as much as I thought. I don’t know what the mechanism is, but it just takes a little longer to aim while running.

The moment the range reaches 90%, release the protest. And immediately reload the arrow. Pull the string again and check the damage.
-1421. It deserves to be called the World Boss. They are much harder than normal monsters.

Shoots again at 75% distance. Critical this time, -4582 damage.
At 60% distance, Minerva stopped Sleipnir. If you shoot an arrow again, this time the critical -5132 damage came out. It’s better than before, but it’s still frustrating.

“Minerva, can’t you get a little closer? Due to the nature of weapons, I get stronger the closer I get.”
“No. If you go any closer than this, you’ll be within range of the tail.”

Zirkanten’s tail swing does damage, but it blows away all nearby hunters. If you get hit by it, you have to run for a while again. If you get closer to increase the damage even a little and then fly away, the deal loss will be worse.

“Okay. Then just focus on avoiding it.”
“I’ll approach you when it’s breath timing.”

Just then, a red spot was stamped on the floor, and fireballs began to fall from above her head.

Kwak-kwak-kwak-kwak-

Explosions occur in all directions, and the surroundings are in chaos. There are hunters who are swept away by the explosion and disappear into dust, and there are hunters who avoid using the time difference between falling fireballs.

Fortunately we were the latter. Minerva calmly maneuvered Sleipnir around her fireballs. Compared to the disturbing sound of the explosion, the explosion range itself was not that wide, so there was no damage unless it was hit directly.

And I just focused on shooting the arrow no matter what the surroundings were like. Every time the cooldown kicked off the skill, as soon as I fired one shot, I immediately reloaded and fired an arrow whenever the aiming gauge was full.

“Breath is coming!!”

I heard someone’s cry among the Hunters.

Zirkanten roars so much that the ground shakes, spreads its wings to cover the sky, and kicks off the ground with its mountain-like feet, leaping high into the sky. Just the flapping of Zirkanten’s wings caused a gust of wind around him.

Realizing that the breath is coming, the surrounding hunters all start running toward Zirkanten’s feet.
However, due to the headwind caused by the flapping of Zirkanten’s wings, it does not gain proper speed. Hunters can be seen rolling away in a gust of wind or holding on to something like a rock.

However, Sleipnir ran forward, breaking through the group of hunters regardless of the gust of wind.
I did not stop shooting arrows at Zirkanten while watching the whole scene from Sleipnir. A strong wind blew in, making it difficult to even open my eyes, but it strangely did not interfere with shooting arrows.

However, it seemed that the situation was not easy for the hunters who walked on the ground with two legs. They struggled to somehow get to safety, even as they struggled in the wind.
The huge black horse running leisurely through such a gust of wind had no choice but to stand out naturally.

“What do you mean!?”
“That’s the Tsuar familiar, Sleipnir!”
“Is it originally a two-seater?”
“I don’t know because I haven’t used it!”

Those words spilled over her ears and reached Zirkanten’s feet. And I shot arrows without stopping even there.
The target is up in the sky, but the distance itself is closer, so the damage is nearly doubled. In addition, the aiming time was much faster, and the cumulative damage was rising several times, so I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Kuhooooo—–

Concentrating solely on shooting arrows, I realized that Zirkanten had released its breath only after a hot wind rushed in.

If you glance back, the hunters are huddled together like drawing a circle under Zirkanten’s feet. The outer part of the circle was turned into a sea of ​​fire with Zirkanten’s breath.

“It’s hot, it’s hot.”
“It’s narrow, but what do you mean?”
“How did you bring something like a horse here?”
“Someone said he was a servant.”
“Have you ever had a familiar like that?”
“My familiar is a penguin.”
“I don’t know because I don’t have it.”

You and I chatted one word at a time.

“Minerva. Don’t pay attention to that.”
“I don’t care.”

While listening to Minerva’s blunt reply, I continued to fire arrows. Zirkanten is now floating above my head, so the launch angle is almost perpendicular.

“Come down!”
“Scatter!”
“Hey, run fast!”

The huddled hunters scatter like rats out of the circle where there is still residual fire.
Sleipnir runs out as well. However, since he was running with his back turned, the angle to shoot the arrow did not come out.

“Minerva! Hold on to my belt!”
“What?”

I bent my back as if I were lying on Sleipnir’s back.

The world turned upside down. It looks like it will fall off the horse any minute.

Fortunately, Minerva held onto my belt before I fell, so I didn’t fall to the ground. She held Sleipnir’s reins in one hand and my belt in the other.

“What are you doing!?”

Minerva’s scream was heard.
I aim the arrow while holding back my groans. Shooting an arrow while upside down was more difficult than I thought.

However, the arrow that left the demonstration successfully hit Zirkanten’s head.
Critical. -6832.
I returned to my original position, clenched my fists and shouted.

“Haha! Isn’t it cool? It’s a famous scene in a novel that I’ve always wanted to try!”
“Aren’t you really stupid?!”
Haha!”

Minerva is shouting her displeasure, but I am just delighted.
Her breasts grow At this moment, I felt like a real Hunter.

“Ah, time is up.”

5 minutes was shorter than expected. The moment we got out of the tail-swatting range, the challenge time was over.

Then, Minerva and I automatically moved out of the boss area and into the inn room we were originally in.

*

“Ah~ it was fun!”
“Please don’t do anything weird. I thought your heart would drop.”

I couldn’t hide my excitement in the battle against a powerful enemy that I had never experienced before. And Minerva was still nagging.

“Welcome, Master!”
“Five?”

Milene launched a surprise attack on me. He kissed me on the cheek next to my lips.
The expression on Minerva’s face as she watches her open-mouthed beside her is hilarious.

“Uh, how is it? Passed?”

A barely visible kiss. But Milene asked with blushing cheeks.
Feeling better for her, I decided to tell Milene what her real kiss was.

“No. It’s a little lacking. This is how you kiss.”

I lifted Mylene’s chin slightly and took her lips.

Of course, I don’t intend to kiss too sticky from the beginning. I put my lips on Milene’s small lips, carefully sucked her lower lip once, and let go.
Milene’s face was red with a mix of surprise, embarrassment and shame.

“Wait! What are you doing!”

Only then did Minerva, who came to her senses, come in between me and Milene.
I answered skillfully.

“Huh? What?”
“You promised not to touch Milene!”
“No, I was still, but Milene kissed me first, right?”
“Sister. What do you mean? What promise?”

Millene, still a little dazed, intervened.
Minerva, as if bothered to explain, covered Milene’s ears with both of her palms.

“It’s because you made me do it in the first place! Kiss me when you get home!”
“What is it, she’s jealous that she only kissed Millane? It can’t be helped.”
“What, who, huh?!”

I gently hugged Minerva and kissed her. Minerva, who was covering her Milene’s ears with both her hands, helplessly took her lips away from me.

“Eup! Eup!”

It’s not a cute kiss like the one he gave to Milene. It was a deep kiss between a man and a woman that Minerva had done many times.

Minerva struggles to get out, but she has no intention of letting go. She hugs her waist with one hand and grabs her neck with her other hand. Holding Minerva tightly with her whole body, she covets her lips. Even the body of Minerva, who had been rebelling against her, gradually lost strength.
Milene opened her eyes wide and was looking at me and Minerva.

“This is an adult’s kiss…”

Milene muttered blankly.
I thought this was enough and slowly parted her lips.

“Have you seen it? So that Mylene can kiss well like her older sister… Kheuk!”

Before she could finish her words, Minerva’s left hand hit her in the side.
Liver blow stung like a bee. It was a clean hit for soy sauce.

Faced with an unexpected surprise, I stopped breathing and knelt on the spot.

“Mill. You don’t have to take the fool seriously. Let’s go get dinner.”
“Ah, yes… Yuzu, are you coming soon too?”

The two of them left the room and left me.

It’s… A liver device…
At least if it’s a girl… Slapping her…
