Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Get out of the way, you idiot."

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts—”

Suddenly, someone grabbed Casey by the back of the collar and pulled him back hard.

"Cough, cough, cough... You're strangling me to death. What are you doing, Melissa? Do you know that this can kill people?"

"You idiot, if I hadn't pulled you over I think you would have died! Look what's in front of you."

The flaming red-haired female magician rolled her eyes at him angrily.

Casey also looked back along her line of sight, only to see that the place where he was had already turned into a hollow, as if someone had hollowed out the ground, and there was a big mouth open at the entrance of the empty hole. If Melissa hadn't suddenly pulled him away, he would have been swallowed by the big mouth like a flower bud.

Cathy shuddered all over and swallowed involuntarily.

"How can there be such a thing? It's too dangerous. By the way, why does it look so familiar?"

The gray skin of the open mouth could still be seen. Could it be that the round lump just now suddenly cracked?

"Of course I am familiar with it. This is the plant that our employer showed us!"

"how come!?"

Before Casey could say anything, there was another earthquake. The ground in front of the three people suddenly cracked open, and countless pieces of soil suddenly sank downwards. At the same time, a huge plant suddenly emerged from the ground.

It showed the three people its huge body that was more than ten meters tall.

"What the hell! How can it be so big!?"

Cathy was incredulous.

I saw three huge flower buds with a diameter of three meters suddenly emerge from the ground. Each flower bud had densely packed teeth inside, and it was obvious that they were carnivorous creatures. Under the flower buds, there were countless tentacles dancing rapidly, like some kind of snake cave, moving slipperily and making it difficult to look directly at.

"I say, the mission didn't say it was this big! How can we fight like this?"

Cathy asked Melissa, but before she could respond, a flower bud suddenly rushed out and went towards Cathy with a click.

Dang clang——

The iron shield and the dense teeth flew out with fierce sparks.

"How to fight? We were tricked! The mission didn't mention it at all!" Melissa regretted, "That's what I was wondering, why is the mission reward exactly what we want? It turns out it was a trap for us! I should have thought about it carefully earlier."

Clank, there was another surge. Casey struggled to use his shield to hold back the flower bud with sharp teeth, sweating all over.

"My hands are numb from the shock, this is not an option! Melissa, please find a chance for me to get the sword that fell there."

"I know! I only have six chances to cast magic, and it's all your fault. You're going to waste one. But I can't say much now."

Melissa's expression became serious and she began to command the two of them.

"Erin, you use the barrier to defend Casey, and I will use wind magic to harass them. Casey will move forward with the shield and take the opportunity to retrieve the greatsword."

"Yeah, I understand, sister!"

The battle was about to begin, and this skilled team began a fierce battle.

……

……

On the other side, Kato Megumi moved deeper into the area while directing Eriri in various combat techniques.

"Her lower left abdomen and right side seem to be vulnerable. Remember to attack there. Sabei, distract the monster for Yinglili."

"I know! Look at my meow paws!"

"Okay! Miss Hui."

There was a roar——

With the two people's skillful cooperation, and Kato Megumi's presence on the side, the tough monster was finally killed.

Looking at the fallen monster, Ying Lili's face was full of pride.

"Hmm, that's so easy. As expected, it still requires me, Lady Eriri, to take action!"

"Yeah, Xiaoying Lili is so amazing!"

Sabei on the side also echoed like a little flatterer.

This man and the cat made Kato Megumi shake her head helplessly.

"Okay, stop playing around, Eriri-san. Clean up the monster corpses. We're going deeper into the cave."

"Oh, I see! Really, at least let me be proud for a while~"

Yinglili shook her head in dissatisfaction, walked to the dead body of the monster, and with a scratch of her sharp claws, she took the fire agate from the other's body into space.

Fire agate can not only be used to refine weapons, but also to create barriers and make props. It cannot be thrown away casually.

Moreover, they have already reached the deep part, where the fire agate is already one third pure, which is considered to be of very good quality.

However, although multiple pieces of fire agate can be used together for other purposes instead of a whole piece, a whole piece is still required for refining tools. A large and pure piece of fire agate is not enough!

We need to go deeper.

The two persons and the cat gradually went deeper into the interior. Although they would not actively provoke the monsters, they would accept any that came to attack them.

At this moment, Kato Megumi suddenly felt something and stopped in confusion.

"By the way... the energy seems to be a little..."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 267 Chapter Damn! I'm scared to death

"What's wrong, Hui? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing Kato Megumi suddenly stop, Eriri asked in confusion.

"Hmm... I think the elemental energy over there seems to be denser."

Kato Megumi pointed in a direction and said.

"I have a feeling that this is the best way to go."

"Ah? Did your terrible intuition sense it?"

Seeing Kato Megumi nodded, Sabei beside him also took out the map and started to check it.

She had witnessed how powerful Miss Hui's intuition was along the way, so she had no objection at all to her sponsor's desire to change direction.

After all, Miss Hui was able to avoid her own bad luck so well, so changing the route shouldn’t be a big deal!

After taking out the map and comparing it with the route on the map, Sabei looked at the circles on the map and suddenly realized something.

"That direction is to that place... Miss Hui."

"That place?" Ying Lili stretched her head to look at the map, and saw Sa Bei pointing to the circled place on the map. "Oh, you mean this place!"

The place that Sabei was talking about is where people disappear inexplicably.

However, although they understood that the area Kato Megumi was referring to overlapped with the area on the map, Sabe and Eriri did not object, and the three of them almost voted in favor.

After all, it is not a death zone. Although it is the same team that disappears every time, some people can still come out. This also means that this area is not a dangerous place. It is a bit weird at most. Maybe those who did not come out encountered some powerful monsters and were wiped out.

After all, the monsters here are already very powerful, and not something that ordinary people can deal with. If you break in here without the corresponding strength, the result is naturally self-evident.

Of course, the most important thing is that the group has Kato Megumi as their anchor, so no one is worried.

So the group changed direction without much hesitation and headed towards the area where the circle was.

……

……

As we go deeper, the temperature around us becomes higher and higher, and the places to stand become narrower and narrower. Unlike the tolerable temperature before, the deeper we go, the more we can feel the gradually rising heat, which is extremely annoying.

The fiery red magma kept splashing, the red color of the flowing flames filled the sight, and the red rocks under the feet, the monotonous color tone made people feel a kind of heat that had nowhere to be released, tickling their hearts.

Not to mention the magical beasts that would suddenly attack from the magma at any time, causing large amounts of lava flows. While walking, the group not only had to be careful not to be burned by the lava, but also had to pay attention to the attacks of the magical beasts to prevent themselves from being attacked.

Kato Megumi can handle it with ease. After all, her physical fitness and magical abilities are already top-notch in this world, and she is not like the people in this world who have a limit on the number of times they can use magic. However, Sabe and Eriri cannot do this. Although their abilities are better than ordinary people, they are still a little bit struggling to deal with the situation here.

To this end, while training their reaction abilities, Kato Megumi also has to keep an eye on them to prevent them from getting hurt by sudden attacks from magical beasts. She can be said to be living like an old mother.

"Elements condense!"

Kato Megumi chanted the spell softly, and under her magic, the surrounding soil immediately formed a hard cage that trapped the lower limbs of the monster in front of her.

"Look at my ultimate killer move, Meow Meow Meow Fist—"

It seemed that she was addicted to the game. Eriri excitedly shouted out some inexplicably childish game lines. Unsurprisingly, the monster in front of her was killed with just two hits.

"Ah! That's amazing, Lady Eriri!"

Facing Sabei's admiring expression, Ying Lili looked proud.

"Of course, I still have many special moves that I haven't used yet!"

Looking at the two of them, one daring to brag and the other daring to take responsibility, Kato Megumi found it a little funny. Why did it feel like she, an old mother, was taking her two children on an outing?

The tense atmosphere suddenly turned into the joy of traveling and the upgrade path of defeating monsters.

"Let's go. I can feel that the energy in this fork in the road is very strong."

Kato Megumi followed her feeling and chose a fork in the road. As she took steps forward, she seemed to have crossed some unknown boundary. The energy in the air suddenly became thicker, more than ten times thicker than the place they had passed before.

Obviously, this is not normal. Usually, places with dense energy and areas that are very different from the surrounding areas either have good things or powerful monsters. In short, they are not ordinary. Therefore, she ordered a few people to get closer and be alert to the surroundings. No matter what, it is better to be cautious.

……

……

"Hey, Casey, you've fallen into our hands!"

A man with a crew cut and holding a staff looked at the embarrassed team in front of him with mockery. It was obvious that he was very smart and chose a good time to appear. He jumped out when Melissa and the other two were about to kill the giant plant with three-headed flower buds, with a malicious look on his face.

"So it's you... Bo Xi." Melissa widened her eyes, then laughed at herself, "Did you mess up this mission?"

The three people who had experienced the battle were now exhausted. Although they could still fight, when looking at Bo Xi opposite her, Melissa's face looked a little bitter.

The swordsman on the opposite side seemed to be well prepared, so how could they launch a desperate counterattack?

"Isn't it obvious? My mission is easy, right? It can be seen that your strength is already very good." The man smiled, "Unfortunately, I can't forget the last time you went against me. I am a person who likes to take revenge, don't you know that, Captain Melissa?"

"Tsk, you?" Casey sneered. "Everyone knows your strength, but you rely on this kind of crooked tricks. As a swordsman, you don't improve your strength, but do these things. If you have the ability, fight one-on-one."

I thought that saying this would anger Boxi and give the three of them a chance to fight back, but I didn't expect Boxi to completely ignore Casey's ridicule and instead laughed out loud.

"Haha, who said that I'm not strong enough? You probably don't know that I have already cultivated my fighting spirit a few days ago!"

"I know you want to provoke me and make me lose my mind, but do you think I am still as strong as I was a few days ago? Why don't I show you my strength?"

As he spoke, Bo Xi raised his head proudly, picked up the big sword and swung it towards the mountain wall beside him. A white fighting spirit hit the rock wall like a sharp blade.

Rumble, the mountain wall on the side was quickly collapsed by the fighting spirit.

Facing the surprised looks of the three people, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, take a look, this is my real..."

"Ah—my legs!"

Before Bo Xi could finish his words, a fighting spirit suddenly returned from the rock wall and abruptly slashed his left arm, leaving a deep wound to the bone. With blood splattering, Bo Xi let out a scream, accompanied by a female voice with lingering fear.

"What the hell! What the hell! It scared the cat to death!"

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 268 Chapter This is what we call a boss

Rumble.

As the magic shield around him expanded outward, the rock fragments that fell on the shield were pushed outward with a bang and fell down with a crash.

The presence of Kato Megumi and her group also appeared in the sight of Melissa and others.

"What was that just now? I was scared to death! Fortunately, that thing was fought back. Who is so wicked?"

According to Kato Megumi's perception, they came to a cave entrance in the rock wall; while walking at the cave entrance, they encountered a fork in the road. Just as they were about to turn, suddenly some inexplicable attack came from the shattered rock wall and attacked them. If Kato Megumi hadn't reacted quickly and raised a magic shield in an instant to fight back, they might have been injured.

Ying Lili was still a little frightened, and at this moment, she looked up and saw several people who were in a confrontation.

"Ah...you are the one from before..." Eriri wagged her tail and suddenly heard the man's wailing, "What are you doing..."

When she caught a glimpse of the man's wound, heard his painful wail and the vicious look he gave her, Ying Lili subconsciously shrank her head.
