Chapter 533: VS Modoki

I dont know if itll work, but lets try the method we used against the Lake Murders!

Woof!

It was a combination of Shadow Binding and the flash of light. But it didnt do much to stop it. Their eyes didnt seem to react to the light, and the fact that one or two of their tentacles were bound didnt do much to stop them.

Its no good, huh?

Woof

So, was a direct attack the only way to fight it? Magic would inevitably cause a lot of damage to the surrounding area after all. If we use Fire Magic or Light Magic, I dont know what kind of effect it will have, like a steam explosion or a huge wave.

Master, Ill attack it first

Are you sure?

Nn! Awakening!

Fran nodded and used awakening. She seems to be in her serious mode. Fran then kicked Urus.h.i.+ in the back and jumped up. She also leaped high in the air and set me up above her head as she fell.

Bujuuh!

Bujyuh!

The tentacles extended from the Modoki attacked Fran. They must have used their Flexible Tentacle skills. The tentacles that looked like they were about five meters long have grown to nearly twenty meters long.

But Fran continued to dodge their tentacles by kicking lightly in the air and twisting her body as if she was dancing. Since she didnt use me, she continued to fall with only the bare minimum of evasion.

Heaven Judgement

Bushuu

Bubu

With just one swing, she cut two Modoki in half, their hard sh.e.l.ls then melted into mush. She could now release the Heaven Judgement with her strength alone.

Master, Ill leave it to you. Lets go!

Ou!

Haaa!

My telekinetic catapult, boosted by Frans throw, shattered one of them into pieces. I guess when push comes to shove, physical attacks was the way to go.

Urus.h.i.+, take care of it. You can use your bigger form

Wooof!

Bushyu!

At Frans instruction, Urus.h.i.+ killed the last one. He returned to his original size and used his large mouth to bite its entire sh.e.l.l to death.

The promotion exam would have been canceled under these circ.u.mstances, so its probably a good thing that we were able to show Urus.h.i.+s strength here

Nn

Fran must have remembered the request from Grandpa Gull. So, she thought of a way to show the adventurers how strong Urus.h.i.+ was, even if it wasnt a mock battle.

Bweh bweh! Woof

Whats wrong? Does it taste bad?

Woof

Apparently, the Modoki was not to his taste. He spat out the remains of the mush and desperately washed his mouth out with the lake water.

You better not bite them next time

Woof

Lets go back for now

Nn

Woof

Oh hey, Urus.h.i.+ needs to be smaller first

Just like that, we returned to the Adventurers s.h.i.+p and were greeted with cheers from the adventurers. The low rankers that scare me still havent woken up, so the only people there were people of some ability. They must have acknowledged Fran, who had shown them overwhelming power.

That was as expected from you! No, it was even more than what I expected!

Yes. That was amazing! I feel embarra.s.sed to call myself as the same B rankers now

Gahahaha! Im so glad youre here, Fran!

Fran was being squeezed by her. But Fran looked happy. I guess this kind of communication was new to her. Besides, it looks just like what any adventurer would do.

The adventurers then huddled together and started singing merrily.

They said it was a song about the spirits in this lake and was called the Song of the Lakeside Maiden.

To sum it up, a spirit in the form of a blonde, white-skinned, innocent-looking girl with a mysterious amethyst right eye and an emerald left eye was guarding this lake. And it seems the lyrics were mostly about their grat.i.tude to her.

Grandpa Gull also shouted as he got even more excited as he sang.

All right! Lets hold a party

Dont be ridiculous, old man! And these bunch of idiots too, stop making a fuss about it!

The adventurers who were about to get even more heated stopped when Grandma Jill shouted at them.

Alert the guards at the perimeter to search for any others! We also need to confirm how much damage was done! We still have so much work to do!

She instantly took over the atmosphere of the place with her shouting and intimidation, which I couldnt believe came from a pet.i.te old woman. The adventurers who had been glared at by the old woman then dispersed at once.

Fran, you come with me

Nn

Fran! Thank you for your help this time. If you have any problems, just let me know. Ill help you next time!

Thanks

Fran, who was a little disappointed about missing the chance to have a party was led by Grandma Jill to what looked like a conference room.

Whats the matter with you? Did you want to have more fun with those idiots?

Nn

Haah. At a glance, you dont look like you would fit being with those idiots Youre a high-ranked adventurer after all

Grandma Jill shook her head in disbelief. She was smiling bitterly, but her eyes were kind. After all, I guess she doesnt hate those idiots either.

Well, thank you for your help in accepting the request for being an examiner. Im satisfied with it

Nn

It seems the exams were judged to be over. And the ones who will pa.s.s or fail will be judged from their first battle and then the group battle.

After that, we talked about the reward and got the approval of the completion of the request. All that was left was to receive the reward.

Well, there was also one thing I wanted to ask the old woman

We asked Grandma Jill about the boy who had been staring at Fran before.

That boy, huh? Its said that hes the youngest genius ever to take the rank E exam in this guild. And I think he will be 13 this year

It was true that he was very young, compared to the other adventurers who were over sixteen, which was concerning. But I dont understand why that would make him glared at Fran like that.

I can understand if he hated someone who has a higher reputation than him. But I dont know if it was hatred or just simple anger

I could felt his killing intent

Hmm I dont know what we should do. This is your first-time meeting, right?

Nn

You should ask him directly then. Ill be sleeping in the next room

We then headed to the infirmary, but the boy was nowhere to be found. The only people there were the young adventurers who were scared of Fran. When we asked about the boys whereabouts, the answer was that they didnt know.

He must have gotten up on his own and left.

Its no use, well ask him directly the next time we met him

Nn

Now that the request was over, our next destination would be the self-governing region.
