Even if we were to happen upon a larger group of monsters, their sll will be so strong that my nose will catch on to them in no ti, so we wont have to worry about getting ambushed.
Yes, youre right.
Shes absolutely right. As long as I have Roxannes keen sense of sll on my side, all ambushes, except maybe for those very elaborate ones, will beco aningless against us. I myself am nothing more but a muscle head, so I wouldnt even bothered with any precautions and just charged ahead, slaughtering everything in my sights. But now that I am no longer alone, such loner strategies are no longer necessary for to employ.
There it is!
In the back of the new cave we have entered, a lone Needlewood could be seen. I ran over to it and slashed it in half with Durandal, felling it instantly. Heh, as long as there is only one enemy, I dont have to worry about anything else other than taking it on an express train to poundtown.
There, done in a flash.
Another enemy defeated with just one hit. As expected of you, master!
Roxanne catches up to and expresses her amazent as she picks up the branches left by the lone Needlewood and packs them into her backpack.
Its true that as long as there are not too many enemies I can pretty much take all of them on myself, Im worried what would happen if we suddenly had to fight a large number of enemies all at once. Therefore, I think it is high ti that I secure so ans of attacking many enemies across a large area at once, or in other words, the ans of inflicting AoE (Area of Effect) damage.
My Skill associated with the Hero Job, Overwhelming, is a Skill that inflicts slow onto enemies to the point where they basically get frozen in place. If used continuously, I guess it would allow to attack greater number of enemies, but that is not a genuine AoE that Im looking for. I dont want multiple attacks on single targets, but preferably sothing that would hit a large number of them at once.
Warrior Jobs Rush and Swordsman Jobs Slash are strong attacks as well, but they too are not multi-target abilities. Well, if we were to examine this problem from a practical perspective, hitting multiple enemies at once is almost impossible with a lee weapon, even the likes of two-handed swords, spears or greathamrs. Normally, this would an that I am done for since there is seemingly no solution to my particular problem.
But, there is one more possibility available for . If the sword and swordsmanship cannot give what I want, then maybe I should try learning magic? Since this is technically a ga world, then there is bound to be at least a few magic spells capable of inflicting AoE damage. Every fantasy ga worth its salt has so, so this one should be no different.
Is there a type of magic that would allow to attack multiple enemies at once?
I asked Roxane while we were once again on the move.
Magic? I have heard that there is, but to be honest, I dont know much about magic and mages. Im sorry. The only things that I know for certain is that you need to be child of a nobleman or a very rich person and consu a special kind of dicine before turning five years old.
Special dicine and age restriction, huh?
When I ca to Vale, the rchant from the Somara village, Picker-san, told more or less the sa story. That dicine that is supposedly needed to be able to use magic is probably so kind of special item. But even if I sohow managed to obtain it
I took a sarcastic look at myself. Yup, theres no sugarcoating it: my seventeen years old-looking ass stopped being five years old ages ago, and that ans that the only way left for to get a Job that would allow to use magic was to actually use magic.
If nothing else, I have to admire how straightforward the system of obtaining most of the Jobs is in this ga. Steal sothing and you get the Thief Job, save the village from bandit attack and beco a Hero, get an Explorer Job by entering the Labyrinth. This simple reasoning stays true for the Jobs such as Warrior, Swordsman and rchant, although those have an additional condition of having your Villager Job at Lv.5. Going by that logic, I should obtain the Mage Job as soon as I use any magic spell.
At first I also thought that it was strange that I didnt get the Mage Job when I used Item Box or Warp multiple tis, since both of those are technically magic spells, but if that was the case then pretty much every explorer could easily beco a Mage, so I guess that makes at least so sense.
The solution is obvious here: if you want to be a Mage, you cannot do so by using Space Magic or Movent Magic. What you need is specifically Attack Magic. Use a spell belonging to that category, and you will beco a Mage capable of casting Attack Magic.
Buy and sell items to beco a rchant, fight to beco a Warrior, and swing your sword to beco a Swordsman. I did all od those things, and they were pretty effective so far Then, if I will use Attack Magic, I will definitely beco a Mage.
It might sound weird, but this is a typical egg or chicken dilemma, and thats probably why that special item is necessary. But, as I ntioned earlier, there is a way for to bypass off of that crap.
Bonus Spells.
Thats right. Even though I am not a Mage, as long as I perform another Character Reset and invest enough of my Bonus Points into Bonus Spells, I should still be able to pull that off.
Master, do you know soone whos a Mage and who we could add to our Party?
Roxanne asks after we defeated the next Needlewood. Since were on the subject of magic, I guess having another person capable of using it might not be a bad idea, but since I have no aquaintences, much less those who can use magic, then I guess that particular alley is as much of a dead end as it gets.
I do not, unfortunately. Not a single one. Which is a sha, since well have to bolster our ranks eventually.
As long as slaves are concerned, I think finding a one who is also a mage might be pretty difficult, but if you sohow managed to do that, that would be a great help, especially on the Labyrinths upper floors.
I think its still a little bit too early to be thinking that far into the future, but when that ti cos I will be counting on you.
Yes, of course!
She seems eager to welco another mber into our Party, even though it will an an increase in the mbers of my harem as well.
Now that my declaration of increasing the number of my harem mbers have been accepted, I perford another Character Reset, focusing on getting the first Bonus Spell, teor Crash, the spell that I was unable to use due to a severe shortage of MP back when my Hero Job was only Lv.1. Now that it has grown all the way up to Lv.6, will I be able to use it properly?
If using this spell will get the Mage Job then thats fine. Well, even if it doesnt, my goal of obtaining an AoE magic attack will be achieved either way, so Im going to test it out on the next enemy thats going to co around which is. This guy over here!
Eat this! TEOR CRASH!!!
I shouted the na of the spell in my mind, but nothing happened. The Needlewood just stood there, and I could swear I saw it looking at as if I was so kinda idiot.
FUUUUUUUUUU
I ran towards it and slashed it with Durandal.
*Sigh* another failure, huh? And I even went as far as omitting the spell chant to avoid embarrassing myself in front of Roxanne is it didnt work. In my defense, teor Crashs MP cost is pretty hefty, so I guess it just ans that I still dont have enough of it. But if I dont have enough MP at Hero Lv.6, then I wonder how much MP does it need? Okay, alright, so my first attempt didnt exactly go as planned, big deal. Not yet! Im not done yet! There are other spells that I can try!
Alright, next!
