Chapter 87 – Realization of Growth (3)
Kalt spoke to Nellis, who was surprised by the size of Hughes Fog.
“Nellis, if you stay still, you’ll get swallowed, so be careful.”
“Swallow…!?”
Nellis came to her senses and confronted Hughes Fogg.
‘Don’t be scared! All you have to do is stay alert! Because I’m really not scared even now!”
If she were the old Nellis, she would have been scared just by looking at Hughes Fogg’s size, and she would have had a hard time holding her sword, thinking she was stronger than I.
But today’s Nellis is different.
Even while she was on the move, she received Kalt’s training every day in the morning to improve her skills, and in the evening, she received Kalt’s life-sustaining training called counseling. She was trained not to be scared by the enemy and not to back down.
Therefore, even when Nellis was in front of Hughes Fogg, she was not afraid, but rather thought about what she could do to show off her cool side to Kalt and other colleagues.
It was then.
Hughes Fogg opened her mouth and quickly thrust her thick, long tongue at Nellis.
“Hmph!”
Nellis reacted quickly, avoiding Hughes Fogg’s tongue and moving forward.
‘If you don’t attack quickly, you’ll really get swallowed up!’
“Hey!”
Sigh!
Nellis slashing the stomach of a defenseless Hughes Fogg while sticking out her tongue.
Hughes Fogg had a deep stab wound on his stomach.
-Queeeee!
Nellis’ confidence rose as she heard the sound of Hughes Fogg hurting her.
‘Okay, one more shot like this…’ .’
“Step aside, Nellis!”
“…! Yes!”
She tried to give him another hit, but at Kalt’s words, Nellis immediately fell behind her.
Although it was regrettable, it was an action taken because there was no intention of suspecting that Kalt’s instructions were wrong.
And the very next moment, Hughes Fogg, despite his large size, jumped up and ran behind her.
“Scarlett.”
“Eat this!”
Following Kalt’s instructions, Scarlett fired a series of basic fire attack spells at Hughes Fog in the air.
Puff!
-Queeeee!
Hughes Fogg, his body charred, crashed down with a scream.
“It was almost dangerous, Nellis.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. When Hughes Fog retreats, if there is an opponent in front of him, he sticks out his tongue again and catches him.
“Ah…”
Nellis imagined it in her head.
He tried to pursue him forward, but Hughes Fogg jumped behind him and almost entangled his body with his long, thick tongue.
“Hi!”
While Nellie’s body trembled in her imagination.
“This is the last time!”
Puff puff puff!
Scarlett gave the finishing touch to Hughes Fogg, who was staggering after falling.
Hughes Fogg, who was tanned to a golden brown color, hung his body still and did not move.
“Hmph, he’s big, nothing special. I heard he has high recovery power. Kalt, are you lying?”
“You’re lying. No matter how good your recovery is, if you get attacked all at once like just now, you won’t be able to recover, right? Plus, with the wounds inflicted by Nellis, her magic would have worked properly, so the damage would have been great.”
“Really?”
“Okay then.”
Kalt smiled kindly at Nellis and said.
“Nellis, you are doing well too.”
To be honest, she was upset that she retreated after only attacking once.
But when Kalt praised her like this, Nellis couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from rising.
“… Yes!”
“Then shall we continue? I’ll help you this time too.”
“Yes! Mr. Kalt! Let’s kill it together!”
“But how are you going to take out the magic stone? Doesn’t it take time?”
“Don’t worry, I know the location.”
Calt cleverly climbed onto Hughes Fogg’s limp body and stabbed him with his sword.
Phew! After the knife went in and was stirred several times, the magic stone embedded in the fuse fog was revealed, and Kalt put his hand in and pulled out the magic stone.
“Did you see it?”
“Wow. Mr. Kalt is really quick at mining magic stones.”
“Ugh, there’s blood all over your arm.”
“I guess I should purify that and make it clean.”
After recovering the magic stone, Nellis’ party went on to hunt six Hughes Foggs.
Nellis and Kalt worked together to cut off Hughes Fog’s front or hind legs to remove his mobility, and Scarlett or Aria used magic and holy attacks from behind to burn or skewer him, so Nellis’ party was able to complete the hunt without much hassle.
In the process of capturing Hughes Fogg, not only Nellis but Scarlet Aria also felt her own growth.
In Scarlett’s case, in the process of using her magic, she was able to use magic more quickly because she had a clearer mind and was not disturbed by anything, but rather had a strong heart for her companions.
Rather than using magic properly now.
‘I want to try more different magic!’
Various applied magic written on the magic I learned last time.
In addition, I wanted to test other magic attributes that I could use so far, but couldn’t because I only used fire magic, which was my specialty.
In Aria’s case, she became more comfortable using divine magic.
Arya already knows that it was thanks to her Kalt’s hypnosis that her own problems were solved.
But she knew, because she saw how effective Kalt’s hypnosis was.
Arya had no doubt that her problems were moving forward.
In that situation, she thought that Aria would like to be a more active force for her colleagues.
She was thinking that after casting her blessing, she could actively take on a ranged attack position with Scarlett.
‘I wish I had other powers…’
Her desire to learn not only the Holy Sword but also other divine attacks began to bloom.
Difficulty still C
Still, Nellis’ party had grown a lot compared to the days when they were working together to defeat difficulty D monsters, and the talent buried in their personal problems was gradually starting to shine.
‘There is a church in this village too, so I’ll have to ask the priest.’
Arya was trying to find a way to increase her attack power.
“Kalt, if it’s okay, this time…”
Scarlett tried to tell Kalt to catch Hughes Fogg one more time.
“Mr. Kalt!”
But before that, he called Nellis Kalt.
“Huh? Why?”
“This time, Mr. Kalt, can you show me how you catch it by yourself?”
“Me alone?”
“Yes! I want to see Mr. Kalt’s cool side!”
Kalt nodded her head towards Nellis, who was looking at her with longing eyes.
“Okay, I’ll show you.”
‘It worked out well because I also had something I wanted to test.’
“Yay!”
“Scarlett.”
“Huh? What.”
“Didn’t you have something to say to me?”
Kalt was listening to Scarlett’s voice without missing it.
“Ah, that… This time, I wanted to use the magic from the grimoire you bought me last time to catch it. That’s just it. You don’t have to do it today.”
“Really? Then let’s make sure to test it tomorrow.”
“… Okay.”
Scarlett thought she would go back and simulate it in her head, so she wouldn’t fail tomorrow.
Nellis’ party moved forward a little further and faced Hughes Fogg, the last person to be captured.
“Everyone is watching from here.”
Calt walked towards Hughes Fogg.
‘Where should I test my increased magic power and strength?’
It’s been a while since I had real sex.
Angela’s continuous womb sex for several hours gave Kalt a greater amount of mana than expected and even increased strength.
This is because all the essence absorbed through sex was absorbed as power without leaving even a single trace of the blood of the evil spirit awakened.
Even during the self-examination training that Kalt did every morning, she was surprised that her strength and magical power increased more than she expected.
Normally, to increase her strength to the level that Kalt felt, she had to train for a week to strengthen her strength, and in the case of Mana, it was close to the amount of mana increased by having sex with Runia and Nadia. Br〉
The regular absorption conversion rate of Kalt, whose blood was not awakened, was much lower than expected.
And now Kalt came up with a way to use the increased mana.
How to catch the huge Hughes Fog at once.
‘It will be possible in a short time now.’
Hughes Fogg caught Kalt walking towards him at a leisurely pace.
Even when Hughes Fogg saw him, Kalt was in no hurry.
Hughes Fogg stuck out his thick, long tongue.
Tongue shooting towards Kalt.
However, that tongue never hit Kalt.
Calt gently lowered his head and hit the ground, immediately closing the distance between him and Hughes Fogg.
Hughes Fogg immediately tried to run back when he saw that his target was gone.
That moment.
The sword was pulled out of Kalt’s scabbard.
As he drew his sword, Kalt moved mana and used it as magic, infusing it into the sword.
‘There’s no need to keep it long. All you have to do is maintain it for the moment you need it.’
The magic power that is quickly injected in large quantities soon dwells in Kalt’s sword and forms a blade.
However, the formed blade was not the usual mana blade.
A form in which the distance is elongated vertically beyond the level where the range of the blade is slightly expanded.
A form that was feasible even with the first attempt was implemented in Calteggi, which has not neglected magical power manipulation training from the beginning.
And.
Suddenly!
The moment the long mana blade was formed, Kalt immediately swung his sword upward.
The blade with high cutting power formed from mana easily cut off Hughes Fogg’s head.
Shake it off!
Hughes Fogg’s head falls to the ground.
“Uh, uh…”
“That…”
“Mr. Kalt, this is awesome!”
Nellis Party, who was watching the scene, was embarrassed, shocked, and amazed at the same time.
