Chapter 38
Since Ive already had Grampa Silvers warning, Ive greatly reduced the time I spend in town.
Since PvP is done just about everywhere throughout the town.
Though it wont do to be careless, while in combat sending a PvP request is considered sabotage so even that guy called Grad wont be able to do it.
With that, when I have to go into Nexia I have to be on my greatest alert or else.
Ive got to be patient until the event ends; its just a little more it seems.
Since I cant be in town then it should be fine if I go hunting, right? With that, its been a while, but time to have fun going hunting.
Since everyone is largely getting involved with the PvP frenzy there are a lot of vacant hunting areas.
I head towards the hunting areas while lightly playing with all the Fairies.
Theres quite a few that like riding on top of my head, na
Theres basically no weight; even if 100 of them rode on top thered be no problem.
Am I a luggage rack if I think too hard about it Ill lose.
Now then, this time my great prey is Bear, that is, Bear-san de aru.
Formerly it was an opponent I had to fight together in a party with Zwei and co, but right now Ill challenge it; somehow or other Ill be able to defeat it if I strike first with a sneak-attack.
My supply of Bear meat is beginning to run low, and Id like to have the pelt made into a cloak.
The defense power of the Werewolf Leather Set Im using now is still on the high side, but even so it pales in comparison to Light Armor and Heavy Armor, and even that Light Armor and Heavy is fragile to attacks from behind.
Actually, theres the feeling that in reality even though armor boasts high defensive abilities from the front its only so-so in the back.
No matter what it seems that the backs defenses tend to be lower.
For covering that up Id like to debut a cloak made of thick pelts.
Aside from traditional courtesy, the other reason kings would chose to wear cloaks wasnt just to reveal their majesty, it was to protect against a sudden strike to the back.
Consequently the fluttery thin cloaks wont fulfill the role; it has to be that kind of thick mantle.
I absolutely dont want an accessory made just for looks.
Capitalizing on One Mores gaming characteristics, theres a lot of different designs that the armor crafters will include just for elevating fashion.
Even so, as long as the defense capabilities are properly there its a pointless story.
There are lots of player who pay attention to their appearance (of course both men and women) and a cloak is a place you can use to greatly assert your individuality.
Theres good money to be made for the armor crafter mina-sans yo- theres that rumor going around.
Maa, in other words Im Bear hunting.
This is really like fishing spots abandoned for lack of seabream, since theres almost no other opponents wanting to hunt.
Even the Fairies started to indicate that they wanted to let go soon since I was going to hunt.
The Fairies who indicated that soon came to leave.
Accidentally shooting the Fairies with a bow is something I really dont want to do na.
Now then, as expected Im making full use of
Leisurely checking that there no other Bears simply prowling around, its hunting time.
Set up the bow, draw the arrow to the limit
With the X-Bow, the forced compared to the past time has overall increased and mercilessly stuck the Bear between the brows, biting deep.
Raising a large roar with the feelings of furious rage accompanying its dash towards me was the Bear.
Certainly its body-frame is massive, and with the fast speed too it is quite intimidating.
But, the distance it needs to reach here is too far, na.
Theres more than enough time to shoot a
I let the bear close the distance only a little, to avoid its convulsions . and release the 3 arrows.
Dosu dosu zujya-! all 3 hit the mark, and one of the clone arrows went and pierced through the eye.
The clone arrow that struck the weak point soon disappeared, but the damage has of course properly been done though theres about a 20% subtraction correction.
With all the attacks done so far, its no wonder that the Bears movements have slowed.
To be on the safe side I fire a Wind Cutter at the eye opposite to the one the arrow stabbed.
Certainly the opponent that has its eyesight reduced will have its aiming ability reduced.
Though it appears to be cruel, in my armor if the Bears claws scratch me once thats 30% down in an instant; if it was the neck or head that was hit its most likely instant death.
By no means do I have any sort of margin for error. Soundly weaken it to soundly take it out.
That is indispensable; if you get too full of yourself, even just for a moment, at that time youll roll into a messy situation.
On top of that I use the whip and
I must give the finishing blow before
Because the arrow stabbed between the eyebrows will disappear, before it disappears, with the Blade Shoes equipped I purposefully use a kick to push the arrow through.
Like that, the points on the bottom of the foot called spikes are embedded with the kick, and if there was anyone around to hear it, theyd probably here a [GASU-!] sound.
However, with just this attack alone, its not enough to give the final blow since the Bears kind of a toughie.
Since the stereotype of a guy with a huge body having great physical strength is pretty close to reality, it cant be helped.
However, as expected of the attack, the Bear has crouched down; now all thats left is really the final blow.
Using
Then, aiming at the crouching Bears head, with a vertical drop I stabbed with a flying kick.
With this the Bears HP was smashed into oblivion.
As expected, it wasnt like the time before when we fought the Wild Bear; by only taking one more hit to beat it, it can be considered a job well done and so I take a break.
Im certainly breathing harder, and Im conscious that my heartbeat is moving faster.
It really was close, huh. Choosing to go solo, youll always be accompanied with this fear.
Ive resigned myself to it; I say Ive resigned myself to it but that fear wont reduce any. Since Im fragile theres no helping that.
Even so this is how I do things. Doing things this way is good.
After that, I fought several more creatures. Several times I didnt evade and took the attacks.
One blow reduces my HP about 30%, and there was 1 time that made away with 70%; I seriously broke into a cold sweat then.
If I were to join a party theres no mistake Id be in the rear guard; like this, if I was to face the monster in the front, it would be a poor decision in actual party combat so it cant be helped.
Prejudice against the bow is still deeply engrained; as usual, if a party wants to recruit someone for ranged attacks its the tendency to go with magic. With all the Arts I know up til now combined its by no means weak, but getting a chance to show it off in front of people is
While Im thinking about that I withdraw; Ive taken down several animals and needlessly continuing to hunt and getting a Death Penalty would be a foolish story to have, and with this one time of hunting you cant say that gathering the pelts for the cloak is not close to being finished.
Just going back and forth a few more times is enough.
On the way back, I relaxedly played with Fairies while I returned.
