Fortunately, all the team leaders are currently at Lv.4. While we can't guarantee absolute success, they are at least capable of defeating the monsters on the current floor.

Based on this, once the various 'bait's' have lured the monsters away from their path, even if an unexpected situation suddenly occurs, our side has highly mobile combat forces like Ais and Bert who can be deployed temporarily to provide support.

But to be honest...

"Lefia should have gone with the convoy."

Ling Shu (Kong) subtly glanced at the pixie girl with a single ponytail who was traveling with him.

At this moment, the little girl's shoulders were tense, her hands were gripping her staff tightly, and her neck was subconsciously hunched over; it was clear that something was wrong.

Ling Shu knew that Finn had always wanted to train Lefia, after all, the 'Big Three' were grooming Lefia as Riveria's successor.

But judging from the current situation...

"I finally got used to the threat level of the 'middle layer' area yesterday, and today I just arrived in the [Water City], and I'm already getting nervous again just from the change of environment?"

He could understand this fragile mentality, but ultimately he lacked the knowledge of psychology to truly empathize with it.

We can only hope that he will transform himself.

Sudden……

"Pfft~"

Without any warning, as the four of them were passing by a body of water, a giant, strange fish, as long as the captain's height, suddenly darted out from among them.

'Ambush by the Strange Fish'.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just a piranha magnified many times.

Look at those fierce eyes, and the sharp serrated teeth in their mouthparts...

"Alas!!!"

Unsurprisingly, Lefia was so frightened that she trembled all over and sat down on the ground with a thud.

fine……

"Bang~"

Annakidi, who was used to fighting with a one-handed sword and a small round shield, quickly stepped in front of her mage, gripped her small round shield tightly in her left hand and swung it, sending the giant piranha flying to the side.

She remained calm and clearly demonstrated considerable experience.

Unfortunately, I was splashed with a lot of water by the strange fish that suddenly attacked me.

and……

"Pfft... Thump~"

The 'surpation fish' that landed on the ground thrashed around a few times, then easily bounced back into the water.

They went into hiding again.

Chapter 54 Parallel Chanting

"Lefia, stand up quickly, we need to move."

"Ah... yes!"

On the edge of a body of water, after Anachiti easily dealt with the threat posed by the attacking monster fish, even Lefia, who had been so frightened that she fell to the ground on her bottom, quickly got up and immediately started running forward with her three teammates.

At this moment, everyone knew very well that with Annakidi's Lv.4 strength, she could have easily cut that 1.6-meter-long fish monster into several pieces.

But for now, the team's role is to act as 'scouts and bait'.

Therefore, the smell of blood must not be allowed to spread here. (Note: Although the monsters in the dungeon will turn to ash upon death, the blood splattered before turning to ash will not disappear.)

You should know that just a few dozen meters away is the 'supply transport convoy'.

This spot is right on the path of our journey, so we shouldn't attract any more monsters.

If Annaquite had rashly killed that attacking monster fish a moment ago, that would have been putting the cart before the horse.

As for now...

"Lefia, prepare to chant, fire an 'Arc Ray' at that body of water."

"Remember to aim at the location where the water flow is abnormal."

As the four were running, Annaquite pointed to a fork in the road on the left ahead and gave them a heads-up.

"Yes."

This time, Lefia gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm, but she did not immediately begin chanting the incantation.

Because she can't do it.

Mobile casting is also known as parallel chanting.

This is a high-end technique that every magician desperately wants to master, and it's also a required course for Lefia recently.

Unfortunately, even if she wasn't frightened by the monster, she could only stand still and cast spells.

This is also the weakness of most mages within Orario.

Those who master the technique of 'parallel chanting' include, for example, Riveria, and the last survivor of the Astrea Familia—[Hurricane] Ryu Leon.

They were already well-known figures.

Although the latter's [ability value] has not been updated for five years and her current grace level is only Lv.4, she is better than Riveria in 'parallel chanting', making her the best in Orario.

If I had to say something:

"It's about the same difficulty as 'singing a high note during a 100-meter sprint without going off-key or losing rhythm'."

This is Ling Shu's personal interpretation.

At this moment, Anachiti clearly knew that Lefia could not chant in parallel, so she planned to wait until the four of them had run a certain distance before having Lefia cast the spell.

however……

"Stop, everyone."

The group had just reached the corner of the fork in the road and hadn't run more than a few steps when Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying stopped at the same time.

Furthermore, the two also blocked Anachiti and Lefia, who were preparing to continue their advance.

Seeing them like this...

"what happened?"

Perhaps because of yesterday's results, Anachiti did not doubt the judgment of the "Twin Stars".

At that moment, even as the team leader, she cooperated by not continuing forward.

Needless to say, Lefia is even worse. This child doesn't have much of her own opinion and is completely in a state of 'following orders'.

It was precisely in this atmosphere that...

There's an ambush ahead.

Ling Shu (Kong) didn't speak, but Ying, who was on good terms with Annaqidi and Lefia, pointed directly to the side of the narrow path ahead and reminded them, "That cluster of crystals is a 'Crystal Giant Turtle' in disguise."

"!"

Annaquite frowned, and without saying a word, raised her left hand...

"Whoosh~"

She threw the small round shield directly.

If you look closely, you'll also notice that a thin rope is attached to one side of the handguard of the small round shield.

"Bang~"

A level 4 adventurer will not be weak.

Not to mention, Anaquiti is also a high-stat Lv.4.

Immediately, everyone heard a muffled thud, and the 'crystal' that had been hit by the small round shield was smashed and tilted to one side.

Clearly, Ying's warning was correct.

And that's not all...

“There are three more ‘Metal Blue Crabs’ lurking nearby. Since we’re on a side road, let’s have Lefia blast them away with magic.”

Ling Shu (Kong) mentioned it briefly.

"can."

Annaquite agreed with his approach, but... she was a little curious, "How did you find it from so far away?"

As she asked the question, she casually tugged on the thin rope, and the small round shield flew back into her hand.

joke!

Ling Shu said that those red arrows in the Traveler's Gemini vision were just too damn conspicuous.

"This is one of my [skills]."

Ling Shu (Kong) shrugged in response.

As for Rafia...

[The arrow of liberation, the bow of sacred wood, I am a master archer...]

Snipe, you fairy archer...

Pierce through, arrow that will surely hit its mark—

【Arcs Ray/Arc Arrow (Arcs_Ray)!!!】

The elf girl reacted quite quickly this time.

But her chanting speed still lasted for fifteen seconds.

However, considering that this was a long chant, it has already exceeded the passing grade for the magician community.

In an instant, a golden beam of light shot out from the tip of the staff called 'Forest Tear' in Lefia's hand, heading straight for the monster's hiding place ahead.

The 'Arc Ray' is one of the three [magic] spells that Lefia has mastered, and it belongs to the 'automatic tracking single-shot magic' category.

In Ling Shu's eyes, it was a degraded version of the Kamehameha that could turn corners and had extremely strong penetrating power.
