Chapter 185: The Power of Evolution

“Giant monster?"

First of all, I was surprised to hear that there was another giant monster. Secondly, I wondered why Sophie was being so vague. She would at least confirm what kind of monster it was. If she couldn’t confirm it this time, she would go back to see it again. It was strange that she was saying it was a huge monster without doing so.

"I didn't confirm its appearance. No, I couldn't, but there was a monster that was over 10 meters tall.”

“You couldn't?"

“Yes. I couldn't see anything at all. It’s probably invisible.”

“Then how did you see it?”

“I confirmed it with magic detection.”

She said after Elira asked her how to find the monster. I was relieved to hear that even though it was invisible, it didn’t seem to hide its magic. If that's the case, even I can find it.

“I could tell by magic sensing that there was a space with no magic at all, which was obviously unnatural.”

“That's what you're saying..."

Apparently, the monster can even hide its magic power. However, even with my high-speed magic sensing, I can see that there is a lot of magic flowing through the spirit tree. A large amount of this magic power is leaking out around the spirit tree. It would be easier to understand if only a part of the leaking magic was completely absent. But it's more than 10 meters long and even Sophie couldn't tell the detailed size.... However, even with its troublesome skills, this monster’s intelligence doesn’t seem to be that high. Because it didn't realize that it would create a space with no magic power.

And I don't think it would care about its surroundings even if we drop the Emperor Moth to the ground. This is a fine play by Sophie.

“If we’re going to defeat that other one as well, for me it would be better to ignore that mysterious monster for now and defeat the moth first. I don't know why, but the mysterious monster was not moving at all. I think it would be better to deal with them one at a time, rather than messing with them and dealing with both of them at the same time."

“Okay. Let's go with that. If the other giant monster starts to move, we’ll deal with it ourselves. So, Zeros-sama and Sophie-sama, please give priority to killing the Emperor Moth.”

“Okay.”

“I understand.”

Sophie quickly finished discussing the strategy with Emily. The mysterious monster is a concern, but let's focus on the Emperor Moth first.

“Then I'll go drop it down."

Sophie said so and flew away again. The spirit tree seemed to be about 500 meters high. And the Emperor Moth is about 400 meters away. Sophie reached that position in less than 30 seconds. I don't think I can do it...

“Kummiiiiii~~!"

And soon Sophie and the Emperor Moth fell together. I think, as expected of Sophie, but the way she dropped is not good. She had a rock made of earth magic, about the same size as the moth, wrapped around the moth. It was a complete tour de force. I could see why we had evacuated the elves. The moth, along with the huge rock, fell about 20 meters away from the spirit tree with a thud! The explosion was accompanied by the sound of a "bang". Incidentally, Sophie was separated from the moth on the way and I caught her as she fell right on top of me.

“Then, Zero-niisama, please.”

“Ah!"

I then set Sophie down on the ground and ran toward the moth. The rock that was wrapped around the moth had broken off when it fell, so it was already moving freely.

“KUMMII!!!"

The moth floated five meters in the air, spread its wings, and sent its venom flying toward us. When I was told that it was moth venom, I thought it was in powder form, but it was a ball the size of a ping pong ball that flew at me. Moreover, it was flying with the force of its flapping wings. It's kind of an uncool way to fly than I thought it would be...

“Hoi!"

I knew from the magic high-speed sensing that its venom contained magic power, so I slashed everything that might hit my body while facing the moth. In the meantime, the crisis high speed detection, which is an evolution of crisis detection, is reacting quite well, so it looks like it’s dangerous if it hits me. But I can slice everything that looks like it could easily hit me without enchantment. There’s plenty of room to slash even though the poison must be hitting pretty densely. Having said that, I decided to enchant and face the moth because at this rate it’ll likely be flying away by the time I arrive at its position.

“Raiden double enchantment."

I did a double enchantment with the same feeling I always have with lightning.

“Whoa!"

It was close. Suddenly there was poison in front of me and I was a little nervous. Well, I could have cut it normally... Maybe even just the Raiden enchantment increased my status almost as much as when I enchanted Zeal. Since it was double enchantment, my status increased drastically. Because of that, my expected distance from the poison was suddenly changed. It’s obvious, but I should have tested it thoroughly before fighting.

“Cueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Thanks to the double enchantment, I was able to get out of the poison in a few seconds. However, the moment I got out, the moth released a laser from its antennae. Before the evolution, I would have slashed it in a panic, but I was able to slash it normally without any particular panic.

“Haaaa!"

“Keeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

Then, because it would be troublesome if it flew away, I jumped and slashed part of its wing. I cut off about a third of the right wing, so this guy would no longer be able to fly. In fact, it was floating and then it fell. I thought about slashing it at that time, but decided to avoid it because I didn't want to be trapped under this huge body of almost 10 meters.

Still, the Raiden double enchantment consumes a lot of MP. Considering the other monster, I couldn’t afford to waste it, so I switched to the Raiden enchantment and the light enchantment. At that time, the light enchantment didn't raise my status as much as I expected. Oh...that reminds me...I went down to skill level 1. ......
