Chapter 413: Buffer Zone
Rogueheil’s main body crawls away from me.
『Fuu, fuu… That was a little dangerous. I needed to be saved by the gigant.』
Rogueheil’s eyes blink and squirm as they look at me. It’s a disgusting sight.
As long as the gigant slime is around, it’ll butt in whenever I try to fight any of the others in melee. But if I were to try and deal with the gigant slime, the trolls and body doubles would surround me.
I’d like to use my speed advantage to shave away at the trolls and Rogueheil body doubles, but… That would be dancing to his tune. Rogueheil’s objective is to wear me down. He wants to fight me bit-by-bit to shave away at my HP and MP.
Even if I have to take a risk, I need to take down one of the gigant slime or Rogueheil. I haven't used it much before, but [Death] might be effective against the gigant slime. For an A- rank, the its magic stat is low.
『But that doesn’t have much range? Either way, we need to get closer.』
Against an enemy that tough, trying to get [Death] through has got to be better than slowly shaving away at its health. Once one of the A- opponents is down, it should get a lot easier. It should be worth it even if we have to take some damage in exchange.
Crushing Rogueheil first might be faster, but after setting the gigant slime and trolls on me, he's entirely focused on provoking me and interfering from a distance. It’s hard to pin down an opponent that is so devoted to avoiding me.
