24 - Interesting Party

We came to a beach where the sun shone brilliantly.

The beach is a long stretch of grassland where there are almost no demons after leaving the east gate of the royal capital.

The sea is right in front of us, but we can’t swim in it because we hit an invisible wall a little after entering the water.

However, the seaside has obtained materials that are completely different from the grasslands of the past.

Specifically, seashells and seaweed such as kelp.

We also got a few other shellfish for food.

Apparently Taku is known as a dual-wielding sword user; in fact, Taku carries two iron swords on his back.

He uses one sword to fight normal enemies, and two swords to fight when he is surrounded by multiple enemies or when he needs to use them. Takue is skilled enough, so he can do it.

The two types of monsters that appear on the beach are Armor Clubs and Big Scissors.

The Armor Crab is a large hermit crab and the Big Scissor is a large crab, both of which have hard shells that can’t be damaged by ordinary attacks.

The Armor Club has a low physical attack power, but its defense is very high, and it flies acid bullets, a liquid containing the magic power of the acid attribute.

In addition to that, if it sees an opening, it will jump and run away at once.

The Big Scissor has less defense than the Armor Club, but its large scissors can be coated with magic power of the slashing attribute, and it will be unfashionable to get caught in the middle.

The bubbles coming out of his mouth contain a slight acid attribute.

In addition to that, it has a fast horizontal movement speed, so it can run away fast. On the other hand, the speed at which they attack you is also fast.

The beach as a whole is not a good place to hunt, so there are not many players. That’s why most of the 10,000 players are in the southern grasslands, where hunting is easier.

Basically, our target was the Big Scissors. The armor club doesn’t attack us, so we leave it alone.

Taku and Senri target the joints of moving crabs and cut off their limbs to kill them.

Seito, the nobleman, and Magane, the crispy one, are killing crabs by holding them back with their shields and Seito cutting them off at the joints.

Maya’s fire magic and Yumi’s water magic attacked the crab, but the water magic only caused light wounds to the shell, and the fire magic made the shell a little brittle.

Magane was the main one to get hurt, Seito was next, Taku and Senri were basically evading the attacks, so they didn’t get hurt very often.

By the way, Maya. I knew from the beginning that Yuki and the others would do it. I started to fool around with it. I turned over to gaze at her face…… I’m sorry. It was so cute. It’s good to be honest and not so honest.

Magane, who had been watching this with a dumbfounded expression, observed the way Taku, Senri and I were moving, and her movements were gradually getting better.

Seito has learned from this and is getting a little better at getting around.

All in all, it was an interesting party. The reason why Taku was uncomfortable with Seito is probably because Taku’s personality doesn’t match up well with Seito’s.

I liked his willingness to dig a grave, but Taku and Senri seemed a little uncomfortable with it, while the basically kind Yumi didn’t seem to mind.

As I continued to hunt, I noticed something.

There is a rocky area to the north of the beach, but there is an invisible wall that prevents access, but there are some large rocks lying on the beach near the rocky area.

One of the rocks was larger than the others, but only a head shorter than I was tall.

Did that rock just move a little? That’s what I noticed.

When I say it moved, I mean that it shook a little, something that a normal person wouldn’t even notice.

The only reason I noticed it was because I was staring at the seagull that was on the rock.

Poultry, I don’t think.

However, my bird meat had flown away because of the slight shaking of the rock. Even I felt strange about this and tried to appraise it.

Rock Armor Club LV12

What I found out was that the large rock was a demon.

“Hey, Taku, what’s that?”

“Hmm? What’s wrong with the rock? ….!?”

I poked Taku and pointed at the rock, and of course Taku with his appraisal would have noticed.

“Hey, Senri, look.”

“Yeah? It just looks like a rock……!?”

“Hey, Yumi look.”

“Yeah, I have noticed….”

Yumi has already seen it, too bad.

“Yuki-san, Taku-kun, what’s going on?”

“What’s with that rock?”

Seito and Magane, point their swords at the rock and ask us. I think you’re very perceptive.

“Ah, it’s a demon.”

They were answered by Taku, who of course had his sword ready. I gave Yumi a light hand sign and ordered her to attack.

“That rock… is a monster?”

“It’s pretty big….Are you sure?”

With a determined look on his face, Seito grasps his sword with both hands and Magane steps forward first with the shield at the ready.

Maya pointed her staff at the rock and began chatting in sync with Yumi. All three of tehm are excellent.

In contrast, Kuria has a quizzical look on her face and holds up her tin staff just in case.

In the meantime, Yumi’s lower level magic “Water” and Maya’s “Fire” landed on the rock.

The attack that looked like water and fire just flew and collided, but it has definitely damaged the opponent.

If this was just a physical attack, even if I hit it a hundred times, I wouldn’t be able to defeat it.

The attack landed and everyone was bracing themselves, but nothing happened to Kuria. She tried to speak, as if to say “What’s going on.”

When she saw the sand fly away and stood up, she looked at it with a shocked expression. It was a nice reaction.

And of course—

—The battle with the Rock Armor Club, a large demon that was obviously foreign to this place, began.
