Chapter 22

Lana... the frog monster that I, after obtaining the Heavy Knight class in this world, defeated for the first time.

A typical, beloved low-level monster in *Magic World*.

There are many types of Lana, and among them, the Golden Lana is our target this time. Considering my current status and Lucie's stats, I judged that our next hunting ground could only be the *Angel's Toy Box*.

The Golden Lana is a golden Lana, with a low spawn rate but a high probability of dropping extremely valuable items when defeated. Additionally, despite having a high level, it has low attack and magic power and lacks any offensive skills.

In other words, it's a monster with low combat ability, high experience points, and drops valuable items, making it a perfect target.

There are multiple types of Lana that serve as bonus characters, like the Golden Lana, which are collectively known as *Golden Toads* in *Magic World* and are quite popular. Many players say that hunting Golden Toads is the most fun.

There is a limit to the number of Golden Toads that can spawn from a single *Dream Hole*, but from the information I gathered in the city of Rondalme, it seems that the Golden Toads in the *Angel's Toy Box* have not been hunted out.

"The Golden Lana has a high spawn rate in the middle of the *Angel's Toy Box*. I know the routes where they are likely to appear, the routes where they are more likely to spawn, the monsters that often appear with them, and the monsters that never appear with them."

The spawn rate of Golden Toads is influenced by luck. If we do this much, all we need is Lucie's luck to attract the Golden Lana.

"Um, um, I've heard of the Golden Lana before."

Lucie said, sounding uneasy.

"If you know about it, that's good."

"I've heard that defeating one can provide enough to live on for years, but even C-rank adventurers have trouble catching them. The Golden Lana is incredibly fast at running away..."

Indeed, the Golden Lana has no offensive abilities but is extremely fast. However, for a C-rank adventurer... around level 60. At that level, they should be able to hunt the Golden Lana stably, but this world, while similar to *Magic World*, is different.

After all, if you die, it's over. Naturally, character builds tend to focus more on not dying rather than maximizing strength or class performance. There's also a lack of information on classes, skill trees, and monsters, and you can't choose the class you want. Forming a party with the desired members is also extremely difficult.

In such a situation, hunting the Golden Lana is indeed challenging.

"Moreover, it's so fast that you can't catch up, and even if you manage to hit it, it feels like no damage is dealt. Many people have ended up in dire situations by chasing it too far and getting surrounded by other monsters. ...Uh, it's possible that some adventurers have even died because of the Golden Lana."

Lucie shivered.

"The Golden Lana has exceptionally high speed and defense, and strong resistances."

The resistances of the Golden Lana completely nullify all elemental attacks, status effects, and debuffs.

To defeat the Golden Lana, it's crucial to catch its swift movements and have high attack power to penetrate its golden body. Even if your stats are sufficient to defeat it, if you try to match its speed and your movements become unstable, you won't be able to deal damage effectively. That's why even C-rank adventurers can't catch it.

"Um... can't we just give up? The knife I received from Elma, *Iron Piercer*, is effective against high defense, but I doubt it can damage the Golden Lana. Besides, I don't think I can catch up to it with my speed."

"Indeed. The Golden Lana in the *Angel's Toy Box* boasts a speed of 67 and a defense of 200. Against that golden fortress, the 15% penetration effect of *Iron Piercer* is almost useless."

This speed is more than twice that of Lucie, who is a Jester class known for her agility, and three times that of me, a slow Heavy Knight. There's no way I can catch up in a chase.

And a defense of 200... even if my *Wall Return* is perfectly executed, it won't deal any damage. The Golden Lana won't attack anyway, being a coward. My *Blade Strike* also has a 15% penetration effect, but it's far from enough to damage the Golden Lana.

"Um, isn't it impossible? Even if we could make contact a hundred times, I don't think we could defeat it even once."

"Don't worry. Of course, I have a plan to hunt the Golden Lana, which is why I chose this hunting ground."

The Golden Lana is immune to all elemental attacks, status effects, and debuffs. However, this doesn't mean it's immune to all special effects of skills. Its resistances, which seem complete, have a loophole. According to my calculations, I can just barely penetrate the Golden Lana's defense.

"Elma, do you have a skill that can damage the Golden Lana? I've never heard of a Heavy Knight having such a skill..."

"No, both trapping the Golden Lana so it can't escape and penetrating its defense to deal damage will be up to Lucie."

I pointed at Lucie and said that.

"Me!? Um, um! I'm happy to be expected to do it! I'm really happy! But I don't have that kind of power!?"

"You should have eight skill points from the level-up earlier. Put all of them into *Fool's Acrobatics*."

If *Fool's Acrobatics* reaches level 10, you can learn two new skills. These will be the key to hunting the Golden Lana this time.
