Evan D. Sherden, Discovering the Witch. (6)

[Whoooooooooomp!]

[Haaarrghhhh!]

[Diiiieeeeeeeeeeee!]

AAA-AA-AAAAA-A!

Multitudes of high-ranking grass-type monsters and ground golems that could qualify as field bosses were on the move. Arisha was the first to act on Evans instructions.

Belois, cover for me!

Okay!

Belois covered Arishas body in several layers of support magic. In addition to that, Arisha activated her wind magic and started to move at lightning speed.

Charge from the sky to the ground! Or, to be more precise, charge to the white flower stuck on the head of the ground golem thats rising from the ground!

Raihan Hyeong!

I know! The Guardians Protection!

Meanwhile, Raihan jumped straight out of the corridor into the cavity and courageously activated the Guardians Protection.

Watching the enormous amounts of monsters who were filling the horizon turn their heads at once to see Raihan was quite a spectacular scene!

Go for it!

Of course, Evan and Belois werent just watching. Belois cast all sorts of defense magic on Raihan, and Evan used a realm masters throw to send four of his defense kits to him.

The defense kits surrounded Raihan and immediately formed a strong defensive wall that protected him.

Thats it!

[Arrrghhhhh!]

[Whaarrrgghhhh!]

Immediately after that, countless monsters struck the defense wall, but surprisingly, there wasnt a single crack in the wall. This scene was enough to prove Evans alchemy was unrivaled and unmatched.

Hes safe, Master!

Hyeong! The dungeon pillar is starting to fall. You have to stop the impact!

I know. I dont know how long I can withstand it, so give me the signal as soon as possible!

Evan, I recovered it!

A disaster unfolds as the dungeon shakes to its root while the ground and the dungeons walls collapse. But without any hesitation, Arisha struck down at the destination and safely recovered the Grass of Innocence. It was only possible because of her training with Illoin. It was a great move!

Of course, this all would have been impossible if the ground golem had not been taunted by Raihan.

Come to me! Here!

Arisha pulled out a sheet of paper she had stored in her inventory pocket, all the while evading the collapsing dungeon fragments, and tore it to pieces.

At that moment, she disappeared and reappeared behind Evan. She used the short-distance spatial movement scroll that Evan had given her.

Originally, it was a random coordinate scroll for dungeon escape, but as a result of some magic intervention, she was able to move to her desired location.

Evan, throw it!

Okay!

When Arisha put her hand on her shoulder to give Evan a signal, he took out all the ten bottles of herbicide he prepared and threw it with all his strength.

The herbicide bottles crashed against the rising ground as they spewed black liquid, and Arisha immediately activated her wind magic.

Daughters of the Wind, spread your breath!

It looks like the daughters have stinking, bad breath. Ah!

Lets get out of here at once!

Master Evan!

Serena was already talking gibberish, so Arisha soared to the ground holding onto Serenas back. Evan also shouted as he threw himself into a hole in the ceiling together with Belois.

Hyeong, hold on for a little more, and we can tear it up as soon as the barrier collapses!

Ye-e-a-h!

The ground golem fully awakened to Raihans roaring reply, and at the same time, the dungeons ground fell. Much of the Dungeon had already been completely buried!

[Tchyaaa!]

[Haarrghhhh!]

When the whole dungeon collapsed, many grass-type monsters that had been trapped were screaming, but they couldnt get out. Why? Because Raihan was still taunting them!

Wow, its a living hell. Like literally, a living hell.

Says the person who got us in this situation

Evan floated in the air with wind magic as he looked down in amazement.

With the present conditions, an astonishing scene, absent in the game, was unfolding before their very eyes below.

[Whhhhhaaaaaarrrgghhh!]

[Arrrghhhhh!]

Under the completely collapsed ground, only the screams and groans of the obliterated monsters could be heard.

Even the ground golem, which was taunted by Raihan, was making full use of their attacks regardless of the enemy. So, the speed at which the monsters were going down was faster than ever!

[Uuuooghhh!]

[Urrgghhh!]

The monsters might have had some chance if they had gotten over with the party quickly. But now that Evan had spread the herbicides, they had nowhere to go. The herbicide inflicts enormous damage to the monsters, and at the same time, it makes them immobile!

Moreover, if it is within a certain range, no matter how many monsters there are, the debuffing effect could end them instantly.

However, as effective it was, it was also very expensive.

It was so expensive I feel like crying. I wish this situation wouldnt have come. If it werent for brewing the Elixir, I would have never used resources for the herbicide.

[Ooooouuuuuucccccch!]

[Zaaaaammm!]

[Plop!]

[BloopPlop.]

The monsters screams rang out for a while even after the Knights came out, but it quickly fainted.

It was the moment when Evans herbicide, Raihans taunting, and the ground golems annihilation amalgamated and brought victory to the Knights!

[Uooooggghhh]

Shortly after that, Raihans bold silhouette was seen on the ground. By faithfully carrying out Evans instructions, he was successful in defending the Knights. Once he confirmed all the dead monsters, he immediately tore out of the space movement scroll!

But whats really terrifying is that Raihan was unscathed even though his armor and shield were soiled with dirt.

Of course, Evan knew hed be alright. But seeing that, even Evan couldnt help but feel terrified.

You didnt get hurt at all.!?

Whew, I felt thrilled after a long time.

In a situation where the dungeon is overthrown and had been buried with hundreds of thousands of monsters with levels over 50, he said this was thrilling for him. Evan could tell how much Raihans shielding and defense skills had improved over the past few years.

After a long time, Evan felt skeptical whether it was a good decision to help Raihan grow or not.

However, that thought was cut off as the only surviving ground golem began to make its move.

[N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o]

Eventually, the ground golem that broke the dungeon had safely escaped along with Evan and the Knights.

Somehow, that ground golem had also helped in destroying the monsters. But dealing with the monster after that was going to be another piece of work.

[I-m-m-m-m-m-m-m]

Wait?

But its movement looked a little weird. They were ridiculously slow.

The ground golems attack power was incredibly high in the original game, but its agility was next to zero. However, Evan cant remember it being that slow.

He was so slow right now that a slugs movement would have appeared faster.

Why is it so slow? Did someone debuff it? Its magic resistance is no joke.

Ive been trying to do that before, but it never worked out properly. The cause appears to be something else.

Belois wanted to take a guess as she calmly took a look at the ground golems entire body.

She said cautiously, seeing that the enormous 10-meter giants body was partially stained in black, I wonder if the herbicide affected the golem as well.

Huh? Hmmm.

Why did my herbicide, which is made exclusively for grass monsters, affect the ground golem, a dirt monster? Evan, who was tilting his head, was in bewilderment.

Thats what happened. The ground golem used absorption There was a downside to its absorption skill!

Absorption?

Its a traditional bug in the Yo-Ma Great War Series. Absorption is one of the monsters unique skills starting from the slime system. It is a terrifying skill that inflicts enormous damage to the target if it succeeds. It temporarily takes the targets status effect along with the HP and MP. It seems the bug is at work

Yes, thats why I told you to be careful.

Evan remembered Serena telling him about the cautions when a ground golem uses its absorption skill. Evan had forgotten about it, so it took a while for him to recall what she told him completely.

This is the bug: the ground golem absorbed the debuffing effects of the grass-type monsters. Thats why its in that condition. It ate grass monsters that were already in a terrible condition due to the herbicides and absorbed their depleted status.

Hmm, well.

In the first place, there werent a lot of monsters that came out with absorption skills, and the abnormality caused by absorption was quickly resolved, so we didnt even consider it.

But this happened because the absorption effect overlapped. In other words, the more number of grass-type monsters it absorbs, the longer its debuffed status will last!

[Uooooggghhh.]

Evan thought that he saw the ground golem groaning for a moment because it couldnt speak or move properly.

To improve the Knights performance, Evan wanted to face the field boss with a full airborne attack. But who wouldve thought things would end up this way?

However, waiting for it to recover from its condition seemed ridiculous. Above all, seeing that the black spots are spreading on its body, it was unlikely that it could recover from its condition.

Well, there isnt much choice. Attack as hard as you can

Evan tilted his head as he felt powerful magic coming from afar! This power Evan looked into Belois eyes. She also nodded her head as if she was trying to confirm Evans thoughts.

We have guests.

Belois raised her head and looked at the horizon. Three dots were flying towards them, coming at a faster rate.

Ive come to save my compatriots!

We can still turn around and leave them Ah?

All of them, who appeared at a very fast pace, were riding stylish brooms, wearing black cloaks and large cowl hats.

The giant golem

Is dead?

Its not dead yet. Its dying. But Its ours, dont touch it.

What!? Huh!?

The witches looked back at Evan as he gave them a harsh response and then stopped in mid-air in amazement. Evan already knew, but Belois just had to say it with her own mouth.

They are witches.
