Chapter 78.1: New Power, And Transformation
(Fumu… It’s been a while since I last visited this labyrinth.）
Tama went to the labyrinth while being rocked within Stella’s cleavage. He slipped out after they had entered the labyrinth, landing skillfully on the ground.
「Muuh… Only this far, huh? What a pity…」
Stella seed extrely disappointed with the end of her hugging ti.
Tama ignored Stella and then used his 《Status》 skill on himself. The entries in his field of vision were like below.

Potential Evolution :? Behemoth 3rd Form
_________________________________________________
(I got 《Elental Bullet》 as my new inherent skill, and… The new evolution entry.）
There was a new skill called 《Elental Bullet》 in Tama’s inherent skill column, and 〝Behemoth 3rd Form? in the evolution entry which had vanished until then.
The new abilities had probably appeared because Tama raised his proficiency level after the battle against the Undead Dragon in Gladdstone.
(Evolution… 3rd form ans that it’ll be different from the 2nd form. Well, I get the point, but… Like hell I’m gonna try this when I don’t even know whether I can turn back to my infant form or not. Let’s keep this as my last trump card. Moreover――）
He wanted to try his newly gained inherent skill, 《Elental Bullet》.
Going by its na, it might be sothing along ‘shooting energy bullets imbued with the elents’.
Tama’s consciousness focused on the《Elental Bullet》 entry.
A new status display appeared in his field of vision.

《Elental Bullet》:《Fla Missile》《Aether Missile》《Water Missile》《Rock Missile》
_________________________________________________
(Missile… The heck is that? Oh, well… I guess I’ll know once I try to use it.）
Tama, who wasn’t familiar with the word “Missile”, entered the labyrinth to test his new skill.
「What’s the matter, Tama? Why are you so quiet?」
While he was deep in thought, Stella was shouting so nonsense.
「MY TI IS COMING!」
Tama sighed, exasperated.
――Whatever, I’ll understand once I use it. Hey, small fries appeared.
… But he still reminded Stella via telepathy.
『GUGYA!』
The monster that appeared and screeched an indescribable cry had a grotesque appearance. A Goblin.
――Stella, get back. I’m gonna try my new skill.
「New skill! Since when did you get a new skill?!」
Stella’s complexion brightened. Her eyes were brimming with light as she received that telepathic ssage from Tama.
Even under normal circumstances, Stella had been madly in love with Tama’s power.
It was natural for her to beco extrely excited about it.
「THEN HURRY UP! LET SEE IT!」
Stella, who couldn’t wait for it any longer, urged Tama to invoke his new skill.
Tama was preparing to use it while smiling wryly at Stella’s childlike reaction.
(I guess there should be no problem even if I use a bit more power for the new skill. There’s still quite a long distance between us and that Goblin.）
After he had decided, Tama invoked his new skill without even confirming first.
「NYAN!（《Fla Missile》!）
A long and thin fla appeared in front of him along with his adorable cry. Its diater was around as big as a human fist.
That thing wasn’t sothing that existed in this world. It resembled a〝Ballistic Weapon[Missile] ?from another world called Earth.
The mont it appeared, the 《Fla Missile》 headed toward the Goblin while making a thunderous noise.
The Goblin couldn’t react in ti to dodge and the incoming 《Fla Missile》 hit it right on its solar plexus.
Everything was fine… Until they saw what happened next.
DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO――NNNNNNNNN!
The 《Fla Missile》 exploded after it struck the Goblin. The body exploded into pieces, scattering in every direction.
Every single bit of the Goblin’s body was carbonized, maybe due to the effects of the fla elent.
「W-WOOOW! JUST WHEN I THOUGHT A STRANGE THING APPEARED, THAT GOBLIN’S BODY SUDDENLY GOT BLOWN TO BITS!」
Stella exclaid as soon as she saw what remained of the Goblin.
(This is… I see. This might be an extrely useful skill.）
Tama looked at the excited Stella from over his shoulder and then nodded at her.
Different from the wide range skill 《Elental Howl》, The 《Elental Bullet》 he fired just now induced an explosion and impact damage.
《Elental Howl》 was a nice choice of skill when Tama had to face many enemies at once, but it beca less effective if he fought alongside Aria and co. They could get caught in his attack range.
That was why these new skills, which packed a lot more punch and narrowed the range, were more suited for party battles.
Especially when they had to face a case similar to Gladdstone, where he had to protect the citizens while cooperating with Aria and co.
At that ti, Tama was forced to use close combat skills to minimize the damage to his surroundings.
The new skill’s appearance might be related to that situation.
―― Stella, let’s get going. There’s still another skill that I want to try.
「… EH! There’s another new skill?! As expected of Tama!」
Tama went even deeper into the labyrinth while leading Stella. By the ti they reached the second floor, Tama’s disappointnt was evident on his face.
(… The monsters seem to be taking a vacation today.）
In fact, Tama wanted to test his new skills on the small fry monsters, like the Goblins on the 1st floor. But they had yet to encounter any monsters until they arrived on the 2nd floor.
He thought that the guild might do a sweep while they weren’t here.
The labyrinth had the ability to give birth to monsters, but there was quite a big gap in ti between each monster being born.
It would take quite a while for the labyrinth to be filled again with monsters after a large scale sweeping by the guild. One would rarely encounter any monster during those periods.
(Well, I guess I’ll find a slightly more challenging monster on the 2nd floo-… Oh, there you are! A suitable opponent to test my new skill.）
After walking through the 2nd floor for a while, Tama and Stella saw an Orc.
And it seed that it saw them too because the Orc’s eyes opened wide as it rushed toward them with a war cry.
『BUHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!』
(Great! A perfect target for the next skill!）
「Nyaa!」
Tama sent a piercing cold look toward the Orc as he raised another adorable cry. The skill he chose was one of the《Elental Bullet》, 《Ether Missile》.
Unlike the previous one, this missile color was pale green and it made a rumbling noise.
(GOOO!）
