Chapter 11 - Lost
We are at a stalemate.
The tiger beastman, a formidable foe, stood in our way, and we were helpless.
Both Meena and Ione are too injured to move.
Shin and the magician have fled, and the situation is not good.
Can we really win?
But there was only one person among us who hadn't given up.
「Lily! Spray all your erotic potions on me!」
Alec shouted, and I knew what he was thinking.
Yes, he's going to use that slippery lotion here.
The purpose is to――
「O-kay!」
The tiger man remained calm even after hearing this.
「There is no need to recover. I'm a 『Hugging Death Tiger』, once you're in my arms, and I'll take care of you in an instant, no matter who you are.」
That's why he use lotion.
「Guooo, Goo!」
Lily hit Alec with three bottles of potion, but it looks like it hurts a lot. Why don't you just sprinkle them on him there?
「Well, I'm coming.」
The tiger man seemed to have waited for Alec to recover, but .......
「Nuh-uh! It's slippery!?」
As I thought, the tiger man could not grab Alec.
Alec also struggled to escape. Ah, his foot is slipping.
「Whoa!」
「Nuh-uh!」
They both fell down on the spot in a friendly manner. Finally, the effects of the dark magic seemed to wear off and Alec's eyes could see, but it didn't seem to make much difference in that situation.
Lotion play between men is ...... Guulp.
Alec's signature move [Turtle Shell bindings] would be impossible with this because it would be too slippery.
「Uryaahh!」
Alec drew his sword from its scabbard and tried to slash, but the tiger man defended himself well with his arm and was unable to make a clean hit. In the meantime, the hilt of the sword slipped out of Alec's hand.
「Leave it to me!」
Sylvie ran in and slashed at the tiger.
「Umurrgh, This is bad!」
「Seiyyaa!」
I'll slash it too.
「Eat this!」
Lily also attacked with a sling.
「GHAAAAA!」
The tiger roars in anger.
It seems that the bare knuckled fighter's weaknesses are not limited to lotions. If he is surrounded by a large number of enemies at a distance, the fighter's short range attacks won't reach them.
And now, the tiger man's feet were slipping and he was unable to move.
「Y-you bastard, Fight fair!」
「How dare you talk like that when you're doing surprise PKs, octopus!Let's continue like this.I don't care if it takes time.」
Alec's right. The word "fair" doesn't suit an outsider who sets traps and attacks adventurers.
――A few minutes later, there was a tiger that had suffered with countless wounds, bleeding and motionless.
My level had risen four levels, and it seemed that my opponent's level was considerably higher.
It was probably higher than the Blood Shadow Gardon. It was a very dangerous opponent, but we managed to defeat it.
「Okay, everyone's healed. Let's go after Shin.」
Alec said as he stood up.
The boots and sword, which were covered in lotion and useless, seemed to have been thrown into the [item storage].
I'm worried about my bare feet, but it looks like I have no choice now.
「Yes, Master!」
Alec told Meena that she was going to be his for life, and not to worry.
That brightened her up completely.
But - although Alec's tactfulness made it work this time, it was a battle that we should reflect on in many ways. No, we had been fighting as hard as we could from the beginning, and we hadn't let our guard down. I think we were really on the edge.
I followed Shin with few words.
「Master, this way!」
Meena followed Shin's scent without hesitation.
When I was taken by surprise, they seemed to have used a scent remover or something, and We lost track of Shin, but now they don't seem to have any time to spare.
So I had to catch Shin while I could.
Meena, who was running in the lead, stopped in her tracks.
「What's the matter, Meena, is it Shin?」
「No, Master, it's a monster.」
「Tsk, at a place like this. We don't have time to deal with it. We'll have to go around here.」
「Yes, sir. Oh, but I can smell it from here. The other corridors are ...... well, ......」
I said as Meena pondered.
「It's no use. Let's go through the one with fewer monsters.」
We don't have a second to waste right now.
「I agree.」
「Then, this way.」
As we proceeded through the twisted maze, we found a strange, indescribable monster. Brown flesh, but I couldn't find eyes, ears, or even a head. It looked like a slime raised vertically, and it had countless yellow tentacles sprouting all over the surface of its body. I feel goosebumps coming on.
「Roper.」
Sylvie identified the monster's name.
Just in case, I use [Enemy Counter].
Fortunately, it looks like this is the only enemy.
「There's only this one enemy!」
「Okay, let's battle. Don't get too close. You'll get tangled up in its tentacles.」
「I know! Yeah!」
Me and Ione slashed at it from both sides at the same time, but it left a slightly unpleasant response.
「Not yet.」
「You're stubborn.」
「Leave it to me!」
Meena slashed at it, and I slashed at it again, and the Roper finally disappeared in a puff of smoke.
「It was moving slow, but it's going to be troublesome to be surrounded by this monster. Oh well, let's move on.」
「Yes」 「「「Roger」」」
As we proceeded further, Meena pointed and gave us a signal. It seems that Shin is just ahead.
We nodded to each other and proceeded down the dungeon passage, being careful not to make any noise.
