"It seems that the prophet must have given him some information, which is why he rushed over in such a hurry, right?"
"But that bastard didn't manage to assemble a sufficient attack team this time, and his equipment might not be as good as what I got on my last playthrough. How is he supposed to defeat that troublesome boss?!"
With Sheng gradually becoming more and more frantic, we dodged several air blades and rays that came our way. Even I, who had been keeping calm all along, couldn't help but get a little annoyed. But since we couldn't figure out the opponent's moves for the time being, we could only retreat again, while using our senses to try to observe the movements at the center of the battle through the chaotic magic.
"At this point, let's not worry about that!" I said in a low voice. "Compared to that, solving this hidden quest is the priority, right? You should know what kind of monster we're facing and how to defeat it, right?"
Although I have confidence in my knowledge, it would be troublesome if it were someone I knew absolutely nothing about.
Rather than recklessly charging in, I prefer to gather enough intelligence before the battle.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Sheng stopped wasting words and quickly introduced the target's information: "That's a liger, the largest land feline. However, compared to its kind, the liger that dwells deep in this forest has an extra snake tail, which can unleash destructive rays."
"Just like what we're seeing now."
The grayish-white rays swept past us again, evaporating everything in their path.
The air and the giant trees were both pierced and evaporated, exposing the dark soil with scorched marks. In just a few minutes, the nearby woodland had been destroyed beyond recognition.
This subconsciously reminded me of the consequences of my first use of Arrow of Hope when I faced that chimera.
However, compared to that time, when the chain reaction caused by the release of magic after its collapse was different, the current ray is closer to erasure or annihilation.
From matter to magic itself.
Everything that was touched disappeared equally under the rays.
According to Sheng, and based on my intermittent observations through my senses, this hidden liger beast clearly possesses a strong physique. In addition, it can release rays that erase everything in its path, and its cooldown time is exceptionally short. It can be said to be a formidable opponent that is extremely difficult to deal with in the early stages.
I could think of almost no other way besides exchanging blows, but I didn't have any magic stone fragments on hand to replenish my magic power.
"...However, with our current lineup...if we really want to conquer it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Sheng, who was repeatedly recalling the strategy, suddenly smiled and winked at me: "Big brother, you should be able to unleash a powerful attack, right? And anything else is fine too."
"As long as that guy can take care of the snake's head, I can find a way to temporarily pin it to the ground, and then you can take advantage of that opening to attack."
I was suffering from a sudden onset of tenosynovitis in my left wrist.
