Level Eater Novel Chapter 16: Divide and Conquer

Chapter 16: Divide and Conquer

"Do you think we can still run away now?" (Ai)

"Probably not. Doesn't look like we can run away even if the boar was still there." (Tatsuro)

"Yeah" (Ai)

Seeing the situation they were in, Tatsuro tried to activate [Level Eater] quicker, prioritizing the skill levels. Even if he could only take away the boss' skills, the tide of the battle would change greatly in their favor.

He also recalled what happened when he took away the wolf leader's [Leadership] skill. The other wolf underlings attacked it as if they were strangers. If he was able to replicate that here too, then he would be the one who would reap the most benefits.

Watching the humans dodge the flying claw made the bears vigilant. They proceeded to surround them while having a face full of displeasure. Tatsuro, seeing how the situation was becoming far too dangerous, quickly harvested the black sphere which contained the most dangerous-looking skills of the golden bear, and devoured it.

Level: 51

Skill(s): [Leadership Lv 0], [Bite Lv 5], [Scratch Lv 5]

[Enhanced Olfactory Perception Lv 2], [Claw Attack Lv 0]

[Boulder Blast Lv 0], [Charge Lv 5], [Golden Crystal Armor Lv 0]

(The shiny Goldie lost its [Leadership] skill. Now what are you gonna do?)

In contrast to his expectations, the blue bears continued to take orders from the gold one. Tatsuro could only grind his teeth in frustration as he explained their current situation to Ai.

"Ai, that Goldie lost most of its attack skills. It only has Bite, Scratch, and Charge left. I should have disabled all of its ranged attacks." (Tatsuro)

"Does that an I only have to worry about the blue ones if I don't get close?" (Ai)

"Yeah." (Tatsuro)

"Then, that can probably" (Ai)

Ai fell into contemplation. Then, with a confident voice, she sounded like she found a solution.

"work?" (Ai)

"Did sothing happen?" (Tatsuro)

"Tatsuro." (Ai)

"What?" (Tatsuro)

"Can you take care of one of the blues?" (Ai)

That sudden question made Tatsuro pause for a mont.

"If it's just one, then I think I can, but Don't tell " (Tatsuro)

"Yeah. I'll hold down the two of them, so I want you to take the other one out while I'm at it." (Ai)

"That's too dangerous! If that's what we're doing then" (Tatsuro)

"If it's you, then you're gonna die for sure. But if it's

just buying ti, then I have my ways. Trust , I'm the better choice for this job." (Ai)

Hearing her line of reasoning, Tatsuro was not able to find anything wrong. However, intentionally sending Ai into a dangerous situation was sothing that he just couldn't accept.

With all that said, this was no ti for his emotions. The three bears had already closed in on them to a point where it wouldn't be strange if they pounced on them now.

"Comnce operation!" (Ai)

"Shit!" (Tatsuro)
