61 Part 2
He readied his daggers and quickly approached the monster.
Rhea began to shoot her potatoes from his back.
Her attacks did not miss, however, the potatoes were repelled by the monsters body.
Rheas throwing ability exceeds her own level thanks to the influence of her Divine Protection.
However, not even that seed to be enough to damage the boss.
Since the spoon worms body had a high resistance to blunt attacks, it received no damage.
Still, its body was pretty shaken by Rheas attacks.
When the potato bullets hit its body, the boss set its sights on Haruki.
However, since its body was so huge, its movents were very sluggish.
Haruki was easily able to dodge it.
Haruki delved deep into his own consciousness.
He was in a state of deep concentration.
At that mont, a light flashed in front of him.
Haruki selected the ball of light as he quickly got behind the boss back.
He was able to see several points where the light flashed but never disappeared.
He drove his dagger into those spots.
Poooooohhhhhhh!!
The boss roared.
It also bent its body several tis as a reaction.
While dodging the boss erratic movents, Haruki cut the monster into two, then into three parts.
So soft
It offered little resistance.
The ball of light where Haruki made his cuts was a visualization of the monsters weak spots, thanks to his newly acquired skill.
That is, Weakness Exploit.
Just by hitting those weak spots, the blade can cut through flesh without any resistance.
Though when he cut through the Lizardmans tail, he did feel a bit of resistance.
This might need less skill than before.
Of course, skills that allow one to exploit a monsters weakness were important.
However, when attacking while using Weakness Exploit, being able to match the targets movents was more important than skills.
Haruki was able to engrave the positions of each weak spot in his mind.
He was also able to morize his opponents movents to the point where he can use that to predict their movents.
For Haruki, it wasnt difficult to match the monsters weak spots.
All he needed to do was to observe, morize, assu, and then strike.
If one could cut down a monster with that alone, then there would be little need for specialized dagger skills.
If he wanted to raise those skills in the future, it might be better not to rely on Weakness Exploit too much.
Karaboshi
Holding her own jaw in astonishnt, Karen approached him from behind.
How How can you cut through a 1-ter-wide body with a dagger that is only 40 centiters long? Was that so sort of Wind-based skill or anything like that?
Oh, not really. That was just a normal attack. The principle behind it is the sa as when cutting bamboo branches in half.
A normal attack
The weak spots Haruki aid for could be seen as gaps between fibers, so to speak.
By passing a blade through those exact spots, the bonds between the fibers can be undone.
If you hit the tip of a bamboo branch vertically with a machete, it will crack all the way down through the middle, splitting in half.
That was more or less the sa phenonon that Haruki envisioned.
However, it wasnt clear if that principle was correct or not.
Since he had instantly raised his Divine Protection with the Skill Board, Haruki had yet to fully master his skills.
He could handle that power.
However, it didnt feel like it was his power at all.
Haruki wouldnt normally notice this, because up until that point, he would only raise one of his stats at a ti.
But when he fought against that Lizardman, he had no choice.
Now he realized that allocating more than two points at once could cause him to feel separated from reality.
But what is normal, anyway?
Still unfamiliar with his own power, Haruki clenched and opened his fist. Karens face stiffened at Harukis sowhat philosophical statent.
After writhing for almost an eternity, the boss was finally dead.
The floor flashed, and a staircase appeared under the big tree.
Ooh
Harukis eyes glittered as he saw the stairs appear.
He was trembling with anticipation out of what would be waiting for them on the next floor.
His body was heating up.
Alright, lets go!
Yeah!
Feeling relieved after knowing she was free from the spoon worms curse, Karen followed Haruki, who was very excited about what kind of adventure awaited them from now on.
The 11th floor looked almost the sa as the 10th.
However, Haruki could feel a nasty atmosphere clinging onto him as soon as he stepped into the 11th floor.
Weve been spotted.
He used his Detection to expand his senses, but couldnt feel any monsters nearby.
Looking at the distance, he could see so grass moving around.
Was that distance 1 kiloter away?
The monsters had noticed Haruki and Karen from 1 kiloter away.
It seed that the monsters on this floor had exceptionally developed perception skills.
They can see us from so far away!
What a wonderful place!
He wanted to say hello to each of these monsters.
Haruki took a deep breath, excited to see these monsters.
Then, after sohow calming himself down, he activated the doors gate while on the lookout for monsters.
Imdiately after that he started walking, looking for monsters.
Then, a monster appeared in front of Haruki, approaching with a proud gait.
Oh, a covert type?
He was half-expecting the monster to be similar to him.
But he couldnt help feeling slightly disappointed.
What appeared in front of him was a Chacha, a half-bear, half-man monster.
Chacha is an Ainu word for gramps.
The monster was nad like that because in Ainu folklore, bears were treated in the sa endearing way one would treat an old man nowadays.
It had a cute na, but it would be a bad idea to underestimate it.
Brown bears are the most powerful land creatures in all of Japan.
Their sharp claws can easily cut through an oil steel drum, and a single slap across a humans face is strong enough to snap their neck.
They can run as fast as 50 kiloters per hour, and have a lot of stamina.
They can catch their preys scent better than a dog, and can chase it relentlessly across long distances.
Their tough fur and a thick layer of fat under their skin make them very resistant to attacks.
Even bullets wont do much damage to them unless they hit their vitals.
The opponent in front of Haruki was a half-bear, half-man monster, as powerful as a brown bear.
Its na, Chacha, might sound cute, but Haruki didnt let his guard down.
Just as the Chacha approached, Haruki readied his daggers and got closer to it.
Then, his blade flashed.
A dagger crossed paths with a bears claw.
