Chapter 83 – Defeat The Kobold
Strelka and I firmly shook hands, and the negotiations were successful. She promised to depart anytime if requested, and I was very satisfied. Strelka was a good girl, and I’m grateful.
“Strelka, I’ll do something to thank you next time.”
“No need for thanks. For me, the time spent with Rasty-sama is valuable. Please continue to favor me in the future.”
Strelka blushed and fidgeted as she spoke. Her upturned eyes were irresistibly cute. Now that she’s said this much, I want to cherish Strelka too.
“Well then, Eduardo and I will go to the cave dungeon.”
“A cave, is it?”
“Yeah, I’m thinking of testing my strength a bit, and maybe trying to conquer the dungeon.”
“Is that so! Then, I too…”
“No, I don’t plan to stay there for long, so let’s save spending time with Strelka for another time.”
“I understand. It’s a bit disappointing, but if Rasty-sama says so, I’ll refrain from insisting on joining.”
Such an obedient and good child!
Honestly, I don’t know if I can protect her if we encounter that orc group again. Well, maybe now I’ll be fine? Well, first I need to assess how effective my own abilities are. I want to try to reduce the risk as much as possible and approach the situation with caution. Always be careful in all matters – I remember Alfred’s words.
“Well then, let’s meet again. Thank you for today, Strelka.”
“Yes, Rasty-sama. I’ll also visit your house.”
“You can come anytime. I’ll welcome you.”
Eduardo also exchanged greetings with Strelka and got off the ship. Now we can proceed with the cave dungeon without hesitation. Let’s gather some materials while we’re at it.
◆
While walking through the forest, We encountered a monster I had never seen before.
“Is that a kobold?”
“Yes, that’s right. However, it seems to be a high-ranking kobold. Let’s investigate.”
Eduardo holds out her hand towards the monster. Apparently, she activated some kind of skill, and the details of the kobold were revealed. Is this the same ‘Monster Analysis Skill’ as Havamar?
[Knuckle Kobold]
[Attribute: None]
[Race: Beast]
[Details]
A kobold equipped with knuckle dusters in both hands. Unlike regular kobolds, it relies on physical attacks with its fists. It boasts considerable attack power, so caution is necessary.
“Knuckle Kobolds, huh?”
“That’s right, Rasty-sama. Please think of them as a slightly stronger kobold. Oh, it seems that they have noticed us. What will you do?”
“S-Slightly stronger… Of course, if they attack, I’ll defeat them!”
I took out the Gale Tulle from the item box and readied my weapon. The Knuckle Kobolds were approaching rapidly. Moreover, there were three of them. They must have come out of the cave dungeon. In that case, I have to defeat them for the sake of maintaining order!
The approaching Knuckle Kobolds aimed their fists at me. I evaded and struck the first one with Gale Tulle. The “Spearhead Pick” landed a clean hit, shattering the kobold.
“――Ugaaaaa!”
Two remaining. I let my guard down, thinking it would be an easy win, when one of them unleashed a punch with incredible speed. ――Wha, a punch is coming at me?!
“Rasty-sama, that was a physical attack called ‘Kaiser Knuckle’. Please dodge it.”
As Eduardo said, I lowered my posture and dodged. That was close, I almost took damage.
Ugh, this is getting annoying, I’ll counterattack too.
I imbued my weapon with wind attribute and raised Gale Tulle.
“Thunder Break!!”
Lightning raced through the ground, tearing it apart. The magic attack, Thunder Break, electrocuted the Knuckle Kobolds instantly. Intense lightning coursed through its entire body, charring it to a crisp.
Eventually, the Knuckle Kobolds exploded into pieces. I obtained the drop item, ‘Beast Fur x3.’ It seems it can be used for clothing and such. Let’s keep going at this pace.
