Fiasco

The caterpillar might not be intimidating, but it was scary!

It could spew acid that could melt anything, and what was even more troublesome was the fact the weapons that hit the bodies of the caterpillar melted and turned into nothing.

However, what made it even scarier was the fact the numbers of the caterpillars kept increasing, without stopping!

"Archer, shoot the arrows!"

"Attack from a distance!"

As members of the Loki Familia, even if they were shaken for a while, they quickly recovered and started to attack from a distance.

One of the caterpillars was shot by Alicia, but unlike the usual monster that vanished after it was killed. It suddenly expanded and exploded!

"ARRRGGG!!"

The vanguard was hit by the acid again.

Everyone was so helpless, and they could only fight from a distance.

The caterpillars moved even closer, and the numbers increased even bigger!

Still, even if the rearguard could shoot their bow from a distance, many of the arrows didn't work, and they couldn't kill the caterpillars instantly.

Everyone started to get flustered and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Vanguard, stop the defense. Go back!" Tsukasa shouted.

"Hey, are you serious?" Alicia, who was standing right beside Tsukasa, asked inexplicably. After all, without a vanguard, who could defend the rearguard and Riveria?

Riveria was in the middle of her incantation to cast her magic, and it might take a few minutes before she finished.

However, Tsukasa told them to let the vanguard back down?

"Let them go back. After all, they will only get hurt. I'll handle the rest. Also, can you take my backpack? I have something I want to take out there," Tsukasa said.

While Alicia was confused at first, she had become quite obedient, especially when they had been teaming up for a while together.

Everyone also followed him and the vanguard quickly backed down while the rear guard kept shooting their arrows. They were quite frantic and kept attacking.

On the other hand, Tsukasa was still calm, waiting for someone to take his backpack from his tent. However, he wondered whether he could use his sword to kill those caterpillars. He knew the inside of those caterpillars was acid, and once his weapon touched the acid, it would melt.

His 500 million valis weapon would vanish and disappear from this world.

Tsukasa might not lack money, but it was a different matter if he was told to splurge another 500 million valis.

However, Tsukasa believed his sword would be alright even if he used it to slash those caterpillars. After all, he could move his slash so fast that it didn't seem to touch the acid, kill the caterpillars without its noticing since his slash was so precise and sophisticated, or create an air compressed blade with a swing of his sword, or he could just use the new weapon that he developed.

Still, Tsukasa decided to use his new weapon since it was quite troublesome to use his sword.

"Tsukasa, it's your backpack," Rakta, the Hume Bunny, said.

"Thanks, Rakta." Tsukasa opened his backpack and took out his new magic weapon.

His magic weapon was long. It was around 100 centimeters in length and seemingly made from wood and metal. However, it was also made with the items dropped from the monsters.

Tsukasa must admit the dungeon was a treasure trove since even if this place was dangerous, it had many things that could be used to develop weapons and many other things.

Still, some people might have realized it, but he had made a magic weapon in the shape of a flintlock rifle.

Tsukasa just took this weapon and aimed it at the caterpillar.

*Bang!*

The caterpillar exploded and died instantly.

However, this didn't end since the caterpillars kept dying under Tsukasa's hands.

All the members who saw this, except for Riveria, stopped their movements since they realized they didn't need to do anything anymore.

While this was also a magic gun, it was different from his previous one that used the bullet of poison. In this rifle, he used dry ice pellets as bullets that flew at a supersonic speed, which was enough to penetrate most of the things in this world.

However, of course, the consumption of the magic was quite a lot.

It might not be much for Tsukasa, especially when his magic was quite a lot, adding to the fact that he was a Level V Exceed and a Level 4 adventurer. The accumulation of his magic was enough to make him an A-Rank Blazer in his original world.

However, Tsukasa still wanted to pretend. "Alicia, give me a magic potion."

"Eh?" Alicia was surprised, but she subtly nodded and happily fed Tsukasa with a magic potion.

Luckily, Riveria was still in the middle of her incantation, so she didn't say anything about Alicia and Tsukasa. Still, she might pull his cheek later.

Tsukasa kept shooting for a while until he stopped and said, "Riveria, now!" He knew all the caterpillars had come out, and he must admit this scene crept him quite a bit since the numbers of the caterpillars were too much!

Hearing his signal, Riveria used her magic without hesitation. " Closing light, the freezing land. Blizzard, the three severe winters - my name is Alf.

"Wynn Fimbulvetr!"

A magic circle enveloped half of the 50th Floor, and instantly, everything was frozen by this magic!

Whether it was the space, caterpillars, or almost everything was frozen by Riveria's magic.

Riveria had magic known as "Chant Connection," which enabled her to change the strength of her magic based on the chant length and mind usage. Along with her two skills, and her special magic staff, the damage caused by her magic was without a doubt the strongest among all the magicians in this world.

"As expected of Riveria-sama..." Alicia was amazed, and she was full of worship.

"........."

Tsukasa was silent, glancing at Alicia, and wondered what this woman thought if she knew he dated Riveria.

'Well, she might ask me to date her too.' Tsukasa was full of optimism, but strangely, he felt pain in several parts of his body. He rubbed his body slightly and thought he needed to be truthful to Riveria later.

Tsukasa then walked to Riveria and asked, "Riveria, are you alright?"

Riveria took a deep breath, letting Tsukasa support her. "I am okay. I only need a rest for a moment." She had just used her magic a few hours ago, and she was forced to use it again this time. The consumption of her magic wasn't small, and it was tremendous. She also hadn't fully recovered, so she was quite tired.

"Drink the potion first." Tsukasa gave the magic potion to Riveria.

"Thanks." Riveria drank the magic potion and felt better.

After the battle, while all the caterpillars had been killed, they had to take care of the aftermath.

Tsukasa took care of the wounded since he was a doctor. Under his instruction, everyone helped each other take care of the wounded.

However, who would have thought when Tsukasa took care of the wounded, Finn and the rest returned, showing a helpless expression.

No one said anything, especially when they saw their messy appearance, and they knew inwardly that this expedition had become a fiasco.
