(029) VS Giant Skink

Translator: Tseirp

We once again descended down to the 56th-floor.

Waiting there was a large number of fish lizards that practically covered all the skinks that we should have defeated previously as well as the Giant Skink.

Ill start with a pre-emptive strike, Slash!

My Slashusing my double knife hands defeated 2 skinks and next, I tried out a trick that I had thought of just now.

Petite Fire!

That instant a fire ball many times larger than my usual one was created.

That can no longer be considered petite! ThePetite Fire with that power swallowed 5 fish lizards.

Master, that magic just now was!?

Dont mind it! Focus on the battle!

I now have another means to fight with, furthermore, to test another, I took out my sword from my item bag and jumped into the center of the skinks.

Rotational Slash!

The skilled up Rotational Slashseemed to have a wider effective range and it mowed down 20 skinks in one go.

This one also had greatly increased power as expected.

Great, its a success.

What I was doing now was instantly switching my job to Apprentice Magician and Magician when Im using magic and to Apprentice Swordsman and Swordsman when Im using my sword.

I had been occasionally training to instantly change jobs but it displayed unexpected power when introduced for the first time in actual combat.

Then, I switched to my Swordsman-orientated jobs (JoblessSwordsmanApprentice SwordsmanPugilistHunter) and slashed at the Giant Skink.

However, it fought back, repelling me with its tongue.

The other skinks were gathering at its feet.

However, it was about time.

Slash!

My sword attack sliced off the Giant Skinks tail.

Shit, my aim was off.

The giant tail violently jumped before it stopped moving.

Then, the Giant Skink grew a new tail.

That regeneration was quick.

The Giant Skink furiously opened its mouth wide and charged at me without caring about trampling on its companions.

What a stupid fellow, he might have been able to narrowly escape death if he ran away.

I instantly switched to my Magician-orientated jobs (JoblessCommonerApprentice MagicianMagicianApprentice Alchemist) and laughed.

Petite Fire!

The fire ball with power that clearly greatly exceeded that of petite went into the mouth of the Giant Skink and caused an explosion.

There were flying pieces of meat Then, the remaining fish lizards all ran away simultaneously.

I wanted to chase after them but they scrambled away like spiderlings so I decided it was better to give up.

Damn it, I should have defeated more small fry before I defeated the boss. I was having regrets.

And, what remained was the scale of the Giant Skink, giant meat and 3 pieces of Rare Medals and also a large amount of experience points.

Ooh, my head is about to burst.

Looking at the skills in my status, I felt that it was getting in the way considerably.

When I had that thought,

Title: Skill Maniac obtained

Title skill: Skill Organization obtained

Able to transfer skills from the status screen to another screen.

Other people would not be able to see skills in the other screen.

Uwah, somehow I obtained something convenient.

Not only can I organize the skills, other people would not be able to see them. Doesnt that mean I could conveniently hide skills like my 5th Job Setting?

No, thinking about it in reverse, even if I obtain the skill to see other peoples skills, I would not be able to see through those that hold many skills like me.

Assuming that I will acquire the ability to see other peoples skills, Ill have to keep that in mind if their actual strength and skills do not match.

For the time being, Ill move all my skills to the other screen and organize them another time.

Hey! Rookie! Are you alright!

Jofres voice came just in time from the floor above.

So they got help huh. Although its no longer needed.

Just when I had that thought,

Sorry, we got lost!

Guide us to the transfer circle!

When we heard them say so in a loud voice, Haru and I looked at each other and laughed.

Jofre and Elise were collecting the fallen scales and we were collecting the magic stones and meat.

Was it due to my Luck stat that the magic stones dropped by the fish lizards defeated by me were larger than those defeated by Haru?

If the magic stones of the fish lizards defeated by Haru were about pebble-sized, those defeated by me were about ping-pong ball-sized.

And, the magic stone dropped by the boss skink was about the size of a basketball.

Since a magic stones purity is higher the larger its size, I believe that it would sell for quite a considerable price.

Thats amazing, rookie well, its strange to call you rookie if you can hunt these many fish lizards.

Then, how about the reverse of rookie, rookie?(TL: They only reversed the kanji and katakana lol)

Thats great! Rookie.

No, it should be strange. In a lot of ways.

Nevertheless, its still strange. Since the request was pasted in the guild, it wouldnt be strange if adventurers apart from us came here as well. But in the end, there was only the adventurer that got eaten?

Nobody came today as well.

Ah, thats because I peeled off and took the request so that others would not intercept the request!

As expected of Jofre! Skilled general! Genius!

Jofre raised the request and Elise applauded.

As usual, these 2 were

Erm, you have to pay a penalty if you peel off the request sheet for a subjugation request without permission.

Eh? Really?

Jofres expression went pale when he heard Harus words. They really do not think about anything. Of course.

Well, we collected these many scales. We should not fall into the red. We have the boss skinks scale as well.

Oh, thats right!

Looking at Jofres rapidly changing expressions like a just weeping crow that was now smiling, I had deeply emotional feelings when I thought that it was time to part with these guys.(TL: The crow thing is most likely an idiom.)

Even though our first encounter was the worst.

Thus, we returned to the surface.

There was only 1 mission remaining.
