The Crystal Deer is famous for its crystal-like antlers. Other than that, its appearance and appearance are different from those of ordinary deer.
But don’t just use its horns as beautiful decorations.
As we all know, crystal is not a conductor, has high density and high hardness, and is naturally immune to all attribute magic... except for advanced magic.
"So Megumin is not allowed to use magic in this mission, do you understand?" Xiao Lin was eager to burst the little Loli's head.
"cut."
Megumin clicked her tongue softly in displeasure.
She always wants to use explosion magic to blow up hard things, and seems to be constantly proving that her magic is the strongest.
But this time the mission was to collect antlers, so the mission would naturally fail if it was bombed.
"Advanced magic is difficult to use, and explosion magic cannot be used, so this is a close combat with the main purpose of capturing and killing. Is that okay?"
"Received!" X4
Then Xiaolin began to assign tasks.
Similar to the previous arrangement, Darkness focused on defense to prevent the Crystal Deer from escaping, while Kobayashi cooperated and shouldered the burden of capturing and killing Darkness. Aqua provided buffs and resurrection magic for everyone, and the attack power Sato Kazuma, who is not enough, comes to protect Megumin, who cannot use magic.
A more reasonable arrangement.
"Having said that, why not set up a trap." Sato Kazuma prefers to wait and wait. His doing so is also related to his own personality.
"It takes too long, and the investment is not proportional to the gain."
But more importantly.
"Please, there are so many of us, and we are just deer with magic immunity. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we just sit back and wait for several days?"
"really."
Sato Kazuma nodded and said with a smile: "Well, no matter what, there is still Kobayashi-senpai here, so it should be fine."
But Liu Zi asked curiously: "Master Xiaolin, why don't you use me?"
"What?"
"Using my words, it only takes 1 second to end the mission. It is such a convenient and fast way, and there is no need for Mr. Xiaolin to take risks."
"Because I want to grow."
Xiao Lin explained why refusing would save time and effort.
"If I continue like this, I will probably become a loser who wants to live as easy as possible but underestimates life. In the end, I will only drink and not work, while complaining that "it's not my fault, it's all the world's fault" ”, and then threw a bottle at you, Liu Zi, asking you to go out and make money, a hopeless man. "
"What, where is such a man?!"
After hearing this, Darkness suddenly came over, her cheeks were red and she was panting, looking impatient.
Scared, Xiaolin pushed the pervert knight's face to prevent her from getting close to him.
Good guy!
You are really intolerant of oil and salt!
Whose hands will it be destroyed in the end? !
After pushing away the perverted knight, Xiaolin told Liu Zi, "To sum up, in order for the team to grow, Liu Zi should not take action, is that okay?"
"Yes, if Master Xiaolin says so."
Liu Zi agreed in a low voice, but her eyes were dark and venomous as she said: "Obviously, as long as Mr. Xiaolin is in danger and screams like a girl, I, as your waiter, will definitely save you, and you will be a useless person who only relies on me." Isn’t it pretty good?”
Wow……
Does it turn out that she still has the hidden attribute of a yandere and a vicious tongue?
Feeling that it would be bad to continue talking, Xiaolin wisely changed the subject.
"Ahem, get ready to fight!"
"Oh!" X4
Everyone started to prepare.
Look, there is a lone crystal deer on the plain. It is rarely seen at this time of year. It is a very precious monster.
Just remove the corners and you can eat it. The meat is tender and elastic, and the experience gained is 5 times that of cabbage!
"It must be great with antlers! I'm on it!"
Before Xiaolin could give the order, Darkness rushed forward with a flushed face.
"Wait... idiot!"
Sato Kazuma tried to hold her back, but failed. This is also customary, and Xiao Lin is used to it.
"Sato-kun, I'm leaving my support to you."
After that, he also rushed forward.
The Crystal Deer is far more difficult to deal with than expected. Not only is it very powerful, it is also very dexterous. The most annoying thing is that the horns on its head are very large and hard, and it can block every attack.
In addition, Darkness is always thinking about competing for strength, which inadvertently causes trouble and burden to Xiaolin, resulting in a tense situation between the two parties.
Aqua cheered loudly from the side, while Sato Kazuma looked very angry.
"Why is that perverted knight always so obsessed with competing for strength? Doesn't she know that she's in the way? Go to the left, go to the left and give up the attacking position! Ah, why are you so stupid! I'm so angry!"
He is quite incompetent, but he is guiding the country from the side with the attitude of a strong-mouthed king.
At this time, another crystal deer appeared in the field of vision.
It seemed to be a scout sent by the deer herd to find its lost companions, and it became visibly restless when it saw the crystal deer on the plain.
"Huh? Why is there another one?"
Sato Kazuma secretly thought something was wrong.
One deer is already troublesome, and adding another one will definitely change the situation.
No, need help!
Sato Kazuma thought of Kobayashi's instructions, and he gritted his teeth and said to Megumin: "I'm going to help. If Megumin and Aqua see something bad, run away quickly!"
"Okay, Kazuma, just go and die boldly." Megumin nodded in agreement.
Sato Kazuma was speechless for a moment: "...What you want to say is a successful start, right?"
"No, to die."
"How much do you distrust me!"
Sato Kazuma wanted to get angry, but there was no time to fool around with her now.
Take out the dagger and use the stealth skill to rush towards the other crystal deer.
His goal was not to kill but to contain. As long as Xiao Lin and the others took care of the other deer, there would be no problem with this deer.
However, he misjudged the speed of both parties.
The running speed of the Crystal Deer is 90 kilometers per hour, which is comparable to a small car speeding on the highway, and it can run for several hours without getting tired.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good! I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
When their eyes met, Sato Kazuma knew that he would never be able to outrun the Crystal Deer, but he didn't expect that his attempt to help would end up causing trouble.
Sato Kazuma worked hard to run forward, and even used primary wind magic to accelerate, suppressing his blush and using up all his strength.
But he still couldn't outrun the Crystal Deer.
Looking at the antlers that kept approaching him, Sato Kazuma only felt that his anus was in danger.
If he doesn't seek rescue, he will most likely be so happy that he ascends to heaven!
In every sense of the word!
"Where are my teammates, where are my teammates, help me quickly!"
Sato Kazuma shouted for help at the top of his lungs, and the scene was chaotic for a time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was (being) chased by the Central Plains.
Kobayashi didn't hear it. He was concentrating on dealing with the combination of Darkness and Crystal Deer.
At some point, Darkness became a group of monsters, which made him unable to do anything.
And Aqua couldn't help.
"There is no other way, so I have to take action." Megumin flicked the cloak behind her back, her eyes turned into a wolf, "Let me, the strongest explosion magician, help you!"
Then she began to chant a spell.
"Surrounding my obedient elves, the flesh and blood of the abyss roars wildly!
Be part of the red wave now!
Get pierced!
——Explosion! ! ! "
boom!
Nuclear bombs wipe out the land!
The crystal deer chasing Kazuma Sato was suddenly blown into the sky, and Sato Kazuma, who was similar to it, naturally could not escape the fate of being bombed.
We went to heaven together.
…
Afterwards, Kobayashi apologized to Sato Kazuma.
"Sorry, it was my oversight. I didn't expect there was another crystal deer."
"It's okay, it's okay, the mission is completed."
Sato Kazuma, who was successfully revived by Aqua, waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Although the result was a bit poor, he completed the task well and was still a little proud.
"Then please accept this."
"……dagger?"
What was placed in front of him was the reward of this mission, the Shadow Dagger.
Xiao Lin nodded and said: "Originally, this dagger was given to you because of your hard work recently, but now it feels like compensation. I'm sorry, because of my negligence."
"Senior Xiaolin..."
It was obvious that he had estimated the difference in strength between the two sides, but Senior Xiaolin still took the blame on himself.
Sato Kazuma was deeply moved.
If I were a girl, I would definitely marry him!
On the opposite side, Xiao Lin unconsciously rubbed his arms, feeling that there was something malicious and uncomfortable staring at him.
