Chapter 27: New magic and chick sin
Well, I tried various new magic against boars. Before that, I tried using the identification skill.
Boar Lv1
Tame Monster Subjugation Target Active
It showed up like this.
The boar that was running away from Lily was inactive. The boar is a tame monster, so it won't be added to the list summon. Well, even if I could make it a companion, I doubt it'd be able to get along with Lily.
Then, the new magic was introduced. First, the Wind Cutter. This is the one that Konoha used before. It gives the impression of a wind slash. The range is narrow and the slash is visible, so it's easy to dodge. But the damage it does seems to be huge.
Next was the air shot. It's like an air cannon. It's a magic that throws invisible air blobs at you, so it's hard to dodge, but it doesn't seem to have much firepower.
Earth Shot. Stone grains fly out. It's a stone, so it has some firepower.
Mud ball. Magic that throws mud balls. When I hit the boar's eyes, it became abnormal. Apparently, it's a condition that makes you blind. It's also a nasty magic because it sticks to the mud.
Rain. Causes rain to fall. No damage. Not sure what it's used for.
"It's raining!"
"It feels good"
"Is that it~?"
""Yes(Yes)!""
It turns out that Lily and Ion are happy and the mud comes off. I'm sure that's not its original purpose.
Aqua ball. A magic that throws a ball of water at you. Unlike Mud ball, it doesn't seem to cause any abnormalities.
Attack Down. Magic that lowers the opponent's strength. When I ask Lily to attack a boar that's rushing at her like the first time, it will fly away.
"How is it?"
"It didn't hurt! Takuto"
It definitely seems to have an effect, but Lily's level has gone up and I can't tell for sure.
Defense down. This is a magic that lowers the opponent's defense. If you use it on a boar as well, its vitality will certainly decrease faster.
Stun. Paralyzes the opponent at a low rate. If you're paralyzed, you can't move for about 5 seconds. This is a pretty big deal if it works.
Lightning. A magic that shoots lightning from the staff in a straight line. It was fast and powerful. It was also pretty cool.
Bomb. Causes the opponent to explode. But the scale of the explosion was very small. It felt like a firecracker. Well, I guess it would be bad magic if it had firepower.
Mine. This was interesting. A magic circle was placed on the ground and when an opponent passed over it, it would detonate. This was just a normal explosion. I placed it in front of a boar that was rushing at me and when it walked over it, the boar exploded and was torn to pieces. It reminded me of a scene from a movie.
Grow. Trees and weeds grew. Unknown use. Then Lilly and Ion proposed to me.
"Takuto! Try it on Lily!"
"Maybe we can grow!"
No change in Lily and the others. Lily and Ion are depressed. I guess they were pretty worried about it.
Leaf cutter. This is a magic that causes leaves to fly out and cut through the opponent. It looks slower than the air cutter, so you'd think it would be easier to dodge, but since it's a leaf, it moves erratically in the wind, so it's a nasty magic. Needless to say, it reminded me of a famous game. It's even more so because Mew-san told me about it.
Ice Needle. A magic that throws an icicle at the opponent. It was quite powerful.
Slip. A spell that makes the opponent fall. It reminded me of my bitter memories of skating. It hurts, doesn't it?
Quick. Increases the speed of your allies. It was evil when used on Lily and Ion. The speed that was lacking in Lily's case became faster and her sword swinging speed also increased. When Lily found out about it, she tried to fight Ion again, but of course she was rejected. It's not fair.
In Ion's case, her strengths were further enhanced and she was able to move faster and slash faster. However, it could only strengthen one ally and the duration of the effect was about 10 seconds. Another disadvantage is that the chanting time is plain long.
Return. A spell that transfers all party members to the inn. The first time I used it, I was surprised to find myself back at the inn. This time, however, we returned to the inn, but I'm not sure what will happen in the future. At least it seems to be a spell that transfers from the field to the town. It's really useful! After all, it's no longer dangerous to return home and it eliminates the hour-long journey home. This makes me happy.
In conclusion, I think I'll be using space-time magic the most. Also, I'll say a prayer for the boars who fell victim to the new magics.
Now, I'm in front of the young tree forest. As I was about to enter the forest, I met a cute little monster.
Chick Lv1
Common Monster Subjugation Target Non-Active
It's a chick. It looked at me and seemed to be frightened.
""Cute!""
Lily and Ion seemed to have been sunk by the cuteness of the chick. Now that the monster has been identified, there should be no problem in defeating it, but it would be a pity to ask Lily and Ion to do so, so we'll let it go this time.
Then we entered the forest. As we were walking through the forest, I suddenly felt a bad premonition above my head.
"Everyone, stop!"
"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Tak"
Something fell in front of us. It was bird poop. A chick was flying above us.
We stared silently at the chick, wondering if it could fly. The chick above us hurriedly fled towards the grass. I don't know if it's the chick from earlier, but it's not reasonable to run away after a fight.
"You can go ahead and do it, Konoha. That chick"
"Hoo!"
As soon as Konoha jumped out of my shoulder, it caught up with the chick and beat it to a pulp in midair. I can't help but feel that Konoha is screaming, 「What did you do, you chick?」 I think Konoha is shouting. Then something comes running towards us.
"Kokee!"
Rampage Chicken Lv4
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
It's a chicken. Is it the parent of the chick from earlier? It looks to be angry.......
"Parents are responsible for their children, right?"
To my words, Lily and Ion hold their weapons and Gray and Kotetsu are ready for battle.
"Ko, Koke?"
"I'm sorry, but we're in a bad mood too. Be a little distressed"
"Kokee!?"
The rampaging chicken runs away. I'm not going to let it get away.
"Mine"
I'm going to set up a mine where the rampaging chicken will run. When the chicken passes over the mine, it explodes and flies towards us.
"Ha!"
Ion jumps and chops it up and Kotetsu slams it to the ground with a tiger punch. Then Gray nips the battered rampaging chicken and carries it in front of Lily. Gray is kind.
"Heavy Slash!"
In the end, Lily's Heavy Slash was applied and it was knocked down. Too much? No! The act of dropping bird poop is too sinful. We had successfully defeated the rampaging chicken, but there was an incident that put us in a good mood. This is the item we got from dismantling the rampaging chicken. Here it is.
Chicken Thigh: Rarity 2 Ingredient item Quality E-
Meat from chicken thighs. It has a reddish color and is a little tough, but has a strong flavor.
Chicken Eggs: Rarity 2 Ingredient item, Quality E-
Eggs laid by chickens. Common eggs, often used in cooking.
You want me to have chicken? And eggs too? This is a great way to expand the scope of my cooking. It's a pity that the only seasoning I have is salt. Speaking of chicken thighs, there's always karaage, right? I wonder if I'll be able to make it one day.
"Lily, everyone be delighted. We got new meat!"
"Yay!
Lily was happy. Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha were also excited. Ion is, well, not a fish.
"Takuto! Let's take down a lot of those birds!"
It seems that Lily has changed her target from boars to rampaging chickens.
"Well, let's take them down as we find them"
"Yeah!"
And so our chicken hunt began.

Author note:
I've introduced new magic at once. There are some that seem to be useful and some that seem to be subtle.
