Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Apparently You Get Stronger After Close Call

The Orc Shielder took a stance once again. I was going to take a minimal evasive maneuver, but the Orc Shielder made a different move than before.

It thrust out both its palms, and then my whole body got blown away.

I step back after getting blown away for 5 meters. My head feels dizzy, probs because the shockwave hit my whole body.

It's got ranged attacks too huh.

While feeling dizzy and putting my guard up, I try to analyze my attack earlier. Particles of light were flying around every time Lunar Cat hit the barrier. That was probably magic essence. Which means this barrier thingy is probably a type of magic.

Then how about I put more mana into the Lunar Cat and completely cover the blade with it. By doing so, perhaps I could detect the barrier's flow of mana and counterbalance it.

I resume the slashing while watching out for ranged attacks. I can feel mana waves with minute vibrations from the mana I touched. It kinda feels like the ultrasonic beautifying device (around 380k yen) the aunty at my part-time used in the past. That thing turns water into small drops through vibration when you pour it onto the thing.

When I tried to slash by going against the waves, the resistance was more intense than ever. This is bad. Lunar Cat is getting chipped down too much.

This time, let's try to match the waves... Hey wait, another double palm strike?!

I tried to step back but since I dodged in the middle of doing something else, I couldn't manage to and ate the blow. Ugeeh, nausea that feels like having car sickness is assaulting me.

The Orc Shielder is getting

ready to launch another attack, as it's taking a different action than before.

BASHIKO------N

From completely outside my view, Tamchan made a ram attack and hurled herself into the Orc Shielder's face.

That caught me off guard too.

However, I can't let this chance go to waste, thus I grip Lunar Cat on my hand and charge forward while enduring the nausea.

The invisible wall obstructs me yet again, however I'm getting closer. And the closer I get, the tougher its defensive strength feels as my katana's blade is getting shaved down faster.

In the meantime, Tamchan is fighting gallantly. The orc can't afford to deal with my attacks now as it goes into defensive.

Barrage of invisible barrier attacks is assaulting Tamchan. She's defending herself from the orc's assault while bouncing all over. Am I seeing things, or does Tamchan's body look blurred?

Is it due to the effect of mana essence, or are my eyes going bad, or is this some kind of symptomps...

I keep slashing while going along with the flow of mana. Moving forward, like peeling the barrier layers one by one.

Tamchan suddenly stopped while I was keeping at it.

No, did she get trapped inside the invisible barrier!? An unpleasant smile floated one the Orc Shielder's face.

BACHUN!

Right afterward, Tamchan was crushed like she was burst open, scattering particle of lights everywhere.

"TAMACHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

I shout. Slashing in rage.

Definitely! I will definitely get revenge on...... huh?

Weird. My vision is getting weird by tears. I'm seeing lots of Tamchan before my eyes??

No, more like white gem?

Right now feel check is most important, yes, more than status check.

Punin

T-this is!? It's not like the mofumofu feeling from before, but this punipuni (squishy) feels are something else. I can get addicted to it easy.

Looks like she's made a real dangerous evolution, what terrifying kid!

But can I still call her a moss ball now? Well Tamchan is Tamchan anyway, so all is forgiven.

I check her Status once I'm satisfied with the sensation. Everyone, keep it a secret that I was rubbing Tamchan's smooth skin a bit, ok.

Name: Tamchan - Gender: Female - Race: Moss Ball

She's got Medical Element on her body since she's a doctor huh... How, why.

What kind of effect it's got anyway.

Medical Element Mixture

Able to store Medical Element inside its body. Effects increase by level.

Lv1 - Robust Nourishment - 12 types of robust nourishment effective on a tired body.

This one is that huh. Like with pit viper sake, I guess Tamchan will have to be submerged?

That'd make it look like souvenir moss ball no matter how you slice it, it's white though.

Hardening means that her squishy body can turns hard in an instant huh. It's questionable whether she could beat her foe with a soft body after all. But who knows, some enemy might be held captive by that squishy sensation. I'd definitely yield if it were me.
