Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 21: The Battle was in Easy Mode

Sh!

Together with Uranias quick exhale, the short sword shes pushed out splendidly sank completely into the Growleus neck. Naturally, the Growleu didnt go down without a fight and was about to slash Urania with its claws, but I wont let that happen.

I ask, obstruct the fangs of evil! Wall!

As its name suggests, Wall is a Magic that creates walls. Not only does the wall physically exist, its strength changes by the amount of Magic Power loaded into it. And since my Magic Power is practically inexhaustible, far from the wall being destroyed just by some wolfs claws, its the claws that ended up breaking.

And same as my other Magic, I can control the size of the wall to some extent. The one I made just now is a small wall floating in midair. The location itself is fixed on where it was created, so no matter how much impact it takes, it wont move an inch. I made it sync with the Growleus claw attack, and once the Growleu turns defenseless after hitting it, I made the wall disappear. By doing it this way, I can protect Urania without hindering her movements.

With the Growleu faltering after breaking its claws, Urania swiftly went on its back while using the stabbed dagger to cut its neck. Receiving a fatal wound in a blink of an eye, the Growleus large body trembled only once before it collapsed.

Nice, we did it! Nn! Nice assist!

Urania and I exchanged a high five. It was our first battle, but we tried fighting a Growleu with Urania as the attacker and me as support. As one may expect from a D Rank Adventurer, without faltering, Urania plunged herself directly in front of the huge wolf.

And even though it shouldve been easy for her to dodge the Growleus claws if she wanted to, she deliberately stood her ground. As though shes testing me, asking me Now, what will you do?. As a result, it seems like Ive managed to pass Uranias test. Well, from now on Id like her to stop doing that sort of dangerous things, so I think Ill need to have a word with her after this.

Hey? Just the right ears fine for the Growleus proof of subjugation, right? Nn, thats right. But if theres still some storage space, its better to bring it whole. Well thats true.

The proof of subjugation is something brought back in case youve subjugated a monster designated by the guild. Generally, its the right ear and the Magic Core. Bringing those back will allow you to get the subjugation reward even without taking a request. The monsters designated for subjugation like the Goblins, Growleus, and the like seem to be mostly the type monsters that have their strength rise sharply when they swarm together. Among them are also monsters like Wyverns, Cockatrices, and such that are too dangerous just by themselves, but basically at times that monsters like these appear, it seems that a Compulsory Request is issued.

Goblins, Growleu, and the likes grow stronger when they swarm. And when the swarm grows to a certain extent, one of them will evolve into a higher species, and the swarm grows even stronger. Since repeating that process can end up powering them up endlessly, theres a need to strike them down while theyre still weak. Hence the subjugation designation.

But of course, theres only a few Mages that can use Storage. And even for those Storage users, keeping all the corpses of a swarm of Gobins or Growleus is pretty difficult. Thats why as the proof of their subjugation, the guild recommends bringing only the right ear and the Magic Core that all monsters necessarily have. Not bringing back the Magic Core itself is fine, but it generally sells for a high price so its better to bring it back. And it seems that the reason for it being the right ear is that its the easiest way to distinguish the monster.

If I remember, everyone from Grim March also brought back the frozen Goblins right ears. Still, I felt a little sorry when the knife they used to cut off the ears cracked due to my Freeze. We managed to take it somehow when I cancelled Freeze on just the right ears, but I dont feel like Ill ever forget the look on everybodys faces that time.

Weve already collected the Ria fruit and Mufla Grass, and we got some souvenirs too. Shall we stop here and go home for today? Lets. We should make it before evening now. A full-blown exploration after proper preparations might be nice too. Still, needing to prepare food for the trip is pretty troublesome. Well, well probably manage somehow.

Yup, Im a bit hungry too and weve already acquired the requested items, it should be fine to stop here. From tomorrow on, lets start preparing for an all-out dungeon exploration while taking on different kind of requests. From how today went, I feel like the monsters wont pose any problems until we reach at least the middle layer.

Hm? Gazes? Thats right. But, it feels different from the ones earlier. Nn, might be better to stay on guard.

Urania and I felt an unpleasant gaze at roughly the same time. Though the gazes weve been showered earlier this morning may have been vulgar, they werent any hint of hostility and malice. If I had to say, they were gazes of interest and curiosity. However, this ones clearly full of hatred. The people who would point that kind of gaze at us Its probably only them, huh. But resenting us because of that is completely unjustified, you know?

What should we do? If theyre just staring at us, then just ignoring them is fine. Lets just stay on guard and if anything happens, we turn the tables on them. Nn, understood.

Well, lets hurry and head back to Motsi City. I expect that they probably arent stupid enough to start something in the middle of the town and it doesnt matter much anyway since the idiots dont even realize that weve noticed them. More importantly, Im hungry. I wonder what the Grey Cats Inn has for dinner tonight? Even now Im really looking forward to it.
