It’s understandable why that would be classified as a low-class food in this world.
「As expected, desu.」
Despite saying that, Miria’s sights seems to be locked on the Lean Tuna. The broth it was cooked in is also quite good.
「I always get delicious things after coming here. I am very thankful for that.」
「Well, you’re the one who put the effort into this and did the most troubleso part, Vesta.」
「No, I didn’t do anything special.」
It takes quite a bit of effort to make minced at on your own.
It’s easier to just cook steak. Vesta helped though, so we’ll probably make it again so ti.
The next day, I raised Bounty Hunter to Lv.30 and tried using 「Ignore Life & Death」once more, but once again it has failed.
Two days later I tried again at an even higher level, but it was to no avail either. Is sothing wrong? Or maybe I am supposed to be doing sothing else? Since it targets an enemy, I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong.
It’s different from skills like 「Rush」 that tend to work imdiately after I think about the na of the Skill in my mind, so I can only test it out against the monsters from the Labyrinths.
What else can I do to check how does this work?
Maybe a dead monster is going to be revived because of 「Ignore Life & Death」, but so far nothing similar to sothing like that ever happened before. That, and I don’t think that a Skill that grants the ability to revive the target would be so easily available. I had to raise Warrior to Lv.30 in order to obtain Bounty Hunter Job in the first place, so I guess I can’t say that getting it was easy.
Maybe I need to use it more? But then again, I used it five tis on a Cheep Sheep before defeating it with Durandal, and that didn’t work either.
I decide to test it more often on the first floor, and start doing it on both my way into and out of the Labyrinth starting the next day.
The effects were imdiately apparent, and I succeeded after leaving Haruba’s Labyrinth in the early morning.
A Cheep Sheep collapsed onto the ground after I only used 「Ignore Life & Death」 on it. It was dead in a single shot.
There is no doubt in my mind now that 「Ignore Life & Death」is a Skill that kills the enemies whom it is used against in one blow.
「Oh?」
Roxanne noticed it straight away.
「It finally worked.」
「Um, did you do sothing, Master?”
「Yes.」
I answered Roxanne’s question. The opponent didn’t even stand a chance. They couldn’t do a thing.
However, it used a lot of my MP, and I have failed at least twenty tis since reaching Bounty Hunter Lv.30.
The success rate of this Skill seems to be considerably low, so it may not be dependent on level after all.
「As expected of master.」
「You’ve been doing an experint like that up util now?」
「Amazing, desu.」
「It feels like sothing incredible.」
As Vesta said, 「Ignore Life & Death」 is definitely an incredible Skill. To anyone who just stands by and is watching from the sides, it definitely must look like the monster died even when nothing happened to it.
Instead of a Bounty Hunter, it seems like a Skill more fit for an Assassin, because there is no evidence remaining of the target and no risk of getting found out involved.
No, that would only be possible in my case since I have 「Chant Omission」, but usually you would at least notice the incantation.
Since I have 「Chant Omission」, I technically can take soone’s life with just an innocent look, and everyone would be none the wiser.
It’s sothing to think about.
「This is a strictly confidential matter, okay? Speak of this to no one.」
「Of course.」
Everyone else gives a nod.
Quietly killing soone without approaching them… It would be bad if the information that I possess such an ability ever ca to light.
I checked the list of my Jobs. Even though I succeeded at using 「Ignore Life & Death」, I still don’t have the Gambler’s Job, which can only an that in order to unlock it I’d have to level the Thief Job first.
I swapped Bounty Hunter as my 5th job for Thief to test if that is really going to be the case here.
That day, we reached the Boss Room of the nineteenth floor of Haruba’s Labyrinth. Yesterday we ate boiled Whole Fish for dinner, so tonight we’ll have ourselves so Lean Tuna as commoration of breaking through the nineteenth floor. Either way, Miria is going to be delighted.
「The Floor Boss variant of Rub Shrub is Rough Shrub. You need to pay attention to its attacks because it has wide attack range and is an overall troubleso monster to deal with.」
Sherry gives an explanation, and then we enter the Boss Room to challenge this Rough Shrub.
The smoke gathers in the middle of the room, and in the next mont a Rough Shrub and Fly Trap appear.
Rough Shrub is a monster that is a similar size to the Rub Shrub, but its branches extend further than the Rub Shrub’s.
First of all, I defeat the Fly Trap by using 「Rush」, since I had switched Thief for Warrior for the purpose of the Floor Boss battle, and then I joined the girls in the surrounding of the Rough Shrub.
Since its branches extend, it seems quite a serious opponent, just like Sherry said.
Rough Shrub swings its branches towards Roxanne, but Roxanne avoids it easily. That doesn’t an that we’re safe though, since if we aren’t careful, we can be attacked even at its sides.
I attack it with 「Rush」, but I get counter-attacked. These branches are seriously a nuisance.
They have a wide range and intense, mostly unpredictable movents. They are wild branches, after all. That being said, their attacks can probably be recovered from with Durandal’s 「HP Absorbtion」, so I continued attacking without worrying about them too much.
I use 「Rush」 many tis against it, and Rough Shrub swings its branch in return. I ignore them, and still cut it with Durandal. It has beco a real slug-fest, but I depend on Durandal’s 「HP absorption」to continue fighting back.
Since I have Durandal, I won’t be defeated. I can endure the pain. Even though it’s a Floor Boss, I won’t complain. The physical strength increase from Vesta’s Dragon Knight Job might be helping out as well right now.
I launched yet another 「Rush」at it. When I swing my Durandal, Rough Shrub shakes violently.
It gets knocked down sideways and rolls over. Did we finally defeat it?
Yes, it disappears in a cloud of green smoke, aning that its over.
「That was amazing fight. As expected of Master.」
「I was a little excited.」
「Even though you received many attacks, are you alright?」
Vesta asks about it anxiously. Unlike Roxanne, the monster’s attacks hit , but it’s not a problem, or at least It’s not enough for to worry about. It’s a bit pathetic, honestly.
「I can handle it. You said you were hit by monsters before nurous tis outside the Labyrinth as well, Vesta.」
「That’s right. I guess it’s alright then.」
Am I really alright? Even if it’s a Lv.1 monster, I don’t want to be hit by any attacks. I’m surprised at what happened as well.
Vesta has also received attacks on the nineteenth floor and said that it was nothing, so it should be fine even if we go up to the twentieth floor.
Now that the Floor Boss is dead, his Drop Item is left behind. It’s so kind of fluttering film.
I used 「Identify on it, and it turned out that it’s sothing called Wood Shavings. It looks like it’s been cut from a tree with a chisel. Miria picks it up and brings it over.
「What are Wood Shavings, exactly?」
「It’s the material for Anti-Paralysis dicine.」
Sherry informs . So it’s actually a material for a dicine? I switch my First Job to Herbalist, and use 「Herbal dicine Creation」 on the Wood Shavings. The Wood Shavings in my hand shine and then beca Anti-Paralysis dicine. So of them even spilled from my hand. I picked them up and placed so in my Item Box.
「Huh?… oh. It’s the effect of a Master Job again?」
