My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C153

Episode 153 Joint subjugation

"Everyone gathered well. Most of them didn't even say hello, but it's Zebet, the guild leader..."

A man with a fearless face looked around at everyone and began speaking. 

<Zebet Siclas, male, 42 years old, knight, LV18>

This is a village with only a few farmers clustered together, which cannot be called a pioneer village, located 7-8 km from the town of Munica, and about 2 km from the mountain where the abandoned mine is located. 

The incident began a while ago when people in this village complained to Munica's agricultural guild that they had been attacked by monsters, and since then merchants and travelers passing through the highway have also reported sightings of monsters. It is said that this has happened one after another. 

Zebet draws a simple map on the ground with a wooden stick and explains the strategy. 

From here, we spread out in groups to the left and right and began mopping up immediately. 

It took half a day to gradually narrow the encirclement until we reached the foot of the mountain where the remains of an abandoned mine were discovered. 

Then, when they find a monster, they sound the loaned whistle, and a group of elite members from the guild, including Zebet, rush forward as a guerrilla force, and they work together to exterminate it, repeating this process as they move forward. 

Well, unlike the military, there are many low-level adventurers, so there's no way they can carry out precise operations. 

A total of about 50 members gathered, which is quite large. 

I wonder if some of them are lizardmen or dog people? There was also a beastman with a different type of furry ear and long tail than Butch. To my surprise, there were also frog people. There are people who become adventurers instead of merchants. 

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any elves, dwarves, or werewolves. 

The plan is for members of different levels and races to spread out in one kunat on each wing, and divide it into 20 sections while exploring, and the basic plan is for two people to space out at intervals of about 200 meters. It comes down to placement. 

We were moved to the far left wing, and since there were six of us, we were held for three sections. 

So, starting from the center, I decided to put Carmilla and I, Butch and Maggie, Nolte and Lucien, and I decided to put Lina and the clay dog, Wan, in place of Butch and Maggie, who were a bit weak. 

I thought about separating Butch and Maggie and having us join them, but there's also the compatibility of the duo. Besides, with this arrangement, outsiders would hardly notice Lina's existence. 

Under the cloudy sky, a signal was given from Zebet in the center, and we slowly started moving forward. 

My members form a party and share information obtained from maps and enemy search skills, so we can get a certain amount of information not only about our own location but also about the three sections. 

With the power of Lucien and Carmilla on both sides, and Lina in the center who was in scout mode, they would be able to tell right away if a monster appeared. 

I mainly use my discovery skills to find out if there are monster or orc dens. 

That said, the monsters are probably coming out of the hole in the abandoned mine, so I don't think they're wandering around here after the sun rises, and their den probably isn't outside. I thought so. 

So, it was a little surprising that about half an hour after I started moving forward, I heard the sound of a whistle coming from a distance to my right. 

The area is sloped towards the mountains, and there are some places where the bushes are deep, so I can't see very far. 

So, I changed Lina into a magician and used gravity control to fly her up into the sky, expanding her field of vision. 

In the expanded area of ​​the map, I could see the white dots of the adventurers spread out in a line, and five or six red dots that appeared in one corner. 

There are about 5 white dots moving towards you at high speed. It seems that Zebet is responding properly. 

“Carmilla, do you know anything?”

"Yeah, it smells like orcs. There's an orc leader."

Orc leader 1, normal orcs 4 or 5. It seems like there's no problem then. 

After that, swarms of orcs and kobolds appeared two or three times, and once we saw orcs appear in the area next to Lucien and the others, so we went to support them and drove them out, but we were unable to meet much stronger enemies. I didn't touch it. 

As we move forward, the encirclement network shrinks, so the possibility of oversight decreases. 

Then, as we got closer to the mountain, the bushes stopped and the scenery became rocky, so the visibility got a little better. 

Then, just before noon, the approximately 50 members, without missing a single one, reached the spot where they could see the exposed mountain surface of the ruins of the abandoned mine. 

It's a steep mountain. At the foot of the high peak of Mt. Evermond, which is at the southwestern tip of the Hakurei Mountains, you can also see a ridge of white snow in the distance. 

The exposed mountain surface is marked by the remains of a large-scale collapse, leaving a crack-like hole about 10 meters high and 3 meters wide, and although it is pitch black and cannot be seen inside, it continues far into the depths. There seems to be no doubt about it. 

Now that the siege is closed, the adventurers can see each other's faces. (The job is now complete.) I could see the atmosphere. 

Just when the tension seemed to be waning, the same thing that happened on the rocky mountain in Galatia Canyon happened. 

“It’s a golem!!”

Who was it that shouted? 

In any case, a large rock must have been thrown at it. 

Three stone golems suddenly appeared between the rocks behind them and threw huge boulders one after another, surrounding the adventurers who had gathered around the rift in the ruins of the abandoned mine. 

We were the only ones who became even more wary when the landscape changed to this rocky one, so we immediately hid behind a nearby rock. 

However, even if it was just a coincidence, if you were to receive a direct hit from a boulder that was over a meter tall, no amount of shield would be able to block it. 

Moreover, as expected, along with the appearance of the golem, a large group of orcs also jumped out from the abandoned mine. 

I will fill in the cracks in the abandoned mine with my clay skills. 

However, before it could be contained, more than ten of them came out. It's bad to be caught in the middle. 

(Lina, teleportation)

(Let's go)

The party teleports over a short distance and appears behind the golem on the left wing. 

Stone Golem LV25, same as the one in Galatia Canyon. That's three bodies. 

"Everyone, put out your weapons."

After making sure that no one has noticed them yet, I have everyone hold out their swords and quivers, and have them coated with alchemy's ``wind element.''

　

That's something new I learned. Just as you can imbue weapons with holy attributes to counter undead, you can also use alchemy to impart attributes to weapons. It's temporary, but weak. 

Also, stone golems are earth attribute monsters, and wind attribute attacks are effective against them...this is what the magical warrior Arez showed us. 

Even if the opponent is a golem that is extremely strong against physical attacks, it should be effective to some extent if it has weak attributes. 

"But don't push yourself too hard. If the guys from the guild run away, we'll retreat too."

"""""yes"""""

Our purpose is simply an investigation. There's no need to risk your life to defeat the golem here. 

I take my time and collect wind elements in the air. 

It seems like Lina is also practicing her magic. I decided to match her timing to Lina's powerful magic. 

(3, 2, 1, fire!)

...No, it's not fire magic, it's wind magic. 

However, Lina and I timed our magic to aim at the back of the stone golem's right knee, and a moment later, the golem's knee joint was successfully destroyed. 

The giant body could no longer withstand the weight and tilted, collapsing with a roar. 

The adventurers, who were in a state of panic, suddenly let out a scream. 

"Amazing"

"Let's go! Don't flinch!"

The adventurers were separated, some heading for the orc swarm and others facing the golem, but Zebet regained his senses and took command. 

"If you can use magic, attack the stone golem with wind magic. For everyone else, use orcs."

From what I saw, it looks like there are two magicians. I should say there are only two of us. 

Those guys are stopping the golems on the right wing by shooting wind magic at them. 

We leave the fallen one alone for now and head towards the golem in the center. 

The stone golem also seemed to recognize us as a threat and threw rocks at us. 

"Oh no, this is a direct hit, isn't it?"

(It's going to fly)

Just before that, Lina uses short-distance teleportation to appear on the side of the stone golem. 

"You saved me, leave the rest to me!"

After Lina, who was running out of MP, took a break, Lucien and I cast wind magic. 

The right knee was destroyed. 

However, even though the golem lost its balance, it held onto its hands to support itself. Then, with his other hand, he threw a small rock, about 50cm long...I couldn't take it! I sent a lump of clay flying and hit it, narrowly deflecting it from its direct hit course. 

"Kitstu"

I also ran out of MP because I put a lot of force into the mass and sent it flying. 

"Leave the rest to me."

Lucien used wind magic again, cracking the elbow joint of the arm that was supporting his body. 

Then, Carmilla dived in, trying to hide, and hit him with a dagger that had a wind attribute, causing the elbow joint to break. 

This time, as the stone golem completely lost its balance and fell to the ground, Nolte swung down the hammer with the wind attribute and cracked the golem's neck. 

The big red dot on the map skill disappeared, and I knew that I had delivered the final blow.
