I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 45

Chapter 45. Difficult Enemies

Five killer wasps come rushing toward us, their wings ruffling.

The five killer wasps are far apart, which isn’t good for them.

Yuuki shouts as she prepares to activate her magic.

“The enemies are too scattered! The range of [Burn Blaze] won’t be enough to engulf them all!”

“That’s right! Prioritize the ones in front of you, as many as possible!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Kodachi-san! I’m going for the front left!”

“Yes! I’ll take the right front. [Wind Slash]!”

“[Rock Bullet]!”

“Flame of the End! —the rest is omitted! [Burn Blaze]!”

Kodachi-san, Yuzuki, and my attack magic is activated, and we attack the killer wasps.

Kodachi-san and my magic directly hit different individuals, and Yuzuki’s [Burn Blaze] involved those two, engulfing them in flames.

If I had my way, I could take down two of them with this…

“Hey ……! It’s missed!”

Kodachi-san exclaimed.

A total of four killer wasps broke through the flames, or passed, and came at us.

The one that gets hit with my [Rock Bullet] was defeated, but the one hit by Kodachi-san’s [Wind Slash] wasn’t.

The one that gets hit by [Burn Blaze] + [Wind Slash] had been defeated in the previous battle.

So we’re still on the edge of being able to defeat it with two magic shots.

“It can’t be helped! I’ll switch over and intercept them!”

“Ye, yes! ───Yaaaaaaaah!

Kodachi-san, who ran like a gale, slashed with her dagger at the one she failed to defeat with her magic and made it disappear.

I also attacked another one caught in Yuzuki’s [Burn Blaze] with my spear, somehow hitting it and making it disappear.

The two remaining unharmed killer wasps attacked Kodachi-san and me, respectively, right after the attack.

“Ugh ……!”

I tried to defend myself with my shield, but it slipped through quickly, and It pierced me through my right arm with a sharp tail stinger.

At the same time, it felt as if something gets injected into me.

It was like a large, violent injection and quite painful.

Kodachi-san seemed to have succeeded in evading the attack just in time.

She’s just lucky and has no more leeway than fighting on the cave floor.

I jumped back once and tried to counterattack the killer wasp in front of me with my spear.

“Damn …… I’m paralyzed…..!”

But my body didn’t move as fast as I wanted it to.

My whole body was numb, and I could not move as I normally would. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

The counterattack spear lacks sharpness and gets evaded by the killer wasp.

The killer wasp tries to attack me again, but…

“I won’t let you! [Fire Bolt]!”

Then, Yuzuki released a fire bolt that hit it directly.

The killer wasp’s whole body burst into flames, and I thought I’m out of trouble.

But…

“What? Even a [Fire Bolt] can’t bring it down? Senpai!”

The flames immediately disappeared, and the killer wasp attacked me without hesitation.

My shield was still too weak to defend against it, and the killer wasp pierced through my chest and poured more paralyzing fluid into me.

It’s not a fatal wound.

But the cumulative paralysis is nasty.

“Damn it, ……! Then… [Rock Bullet]!”

With my body not moving very well, I somehow managed to get a small distance and fired a magic attack toward the approaching killer wasp.

Even though it almost evades it, the magic attack with high hit performance hit the target as expected.

The killer wasp, which had received a direct hit from the rock projectile, finally disappeared and turned into a magic stone.

Kodachi-san, who was in charge of the other side, had just rushed over to my side to cover me.

The battle was over.

I took a deep breath.

Yuzuki, with a worried look on her face, rushed toward me.

“Are you okay, senpai?

“Oh, somehow. Thanks to you, I was saved, Yuzuki. Thank you.”

“Ah… I’m happy, but I want senpai to worry about me now!”

Yuzuki is surprisingly worried.

I still got a lot of HP to spare, with paralyze being a nuisance.

Kodachi-san’s holding her side with her hand while asking me.

“Musou-san, were you get hit too?”

“What, Kodachi-san too? Are you okay?”

“Yes. Not a fainting wound at all. But when I got stabbed, it felt like the killer wasp poured something into me, and I couldn’t move my body the way I wanted.”

Kodachi-san puts the dagger in the sheath at her waist, and she makes a show of gooping up her right hand.

A slight tremor was visible in all of those movements.

Kodachi-san’s only injury seemed to be a blow to her side.

I put my palm toward Kodachi-san’s wounded area and increased the magic power in my body to activate the magic.

“I’ll heal it──[Gaia Heal]!”

I use the newly acquired advanced healing magic at Kodachi-san.
