Then, he pulled a short stick from his waist and, with all his might, swung it hard at the reagent bottle.
A stirring rod used in medicine refining.
Or rather—drumsticks!
The drumsticks traced sharp arcs in the air, striking precisely the falling reagent bottle.
The reagent bottle shattered instantly, and the liquid inside mixed in the air, as if it had been given a new life. It reacted, catalyzed, and released a terrifying heat wave, turning into a torrent emitting a pungent odor that shot towards the monster!
Tasha's Caustic Brew
[One Ring for Energy]
[Casting Time: 1 action]
[Casting Range: Self (30-foot line)]
[Duration: Focused, maximum 1 minute]
[You unleash a stream of acid, 30 feet long and 5 feet wide, in one direction. Every creature within the stream must make a save throw; the one that fails is covered in acid. The acid remains until the spell's duration ends, or until the creature or another creature scrapes or washes off the acid-covered area. Creatures covered in acid take 2d4 acid damage at the start of each of their turns.]
[Upgraded Ring Casting Effect: When casting this spell using a second-ring or higher spell slot, the spell's damage increases by 2d4 for each ring higher than the caster's ring.]
The dark green acid struck the monster's massive body with pinpoint accuracy.
The paper that makes up its body begins to blacken and char at a visible speed, making a hissing sound.
The twisted limbs that had been attacking Eshimura Sawa immediately curled back in pain, trying to smooth out the paper corroded by the acid.
Because it is [Tasha's Acidic Brew], which is cast using a second-circle spell, it will take 4d4 points of strong acid damage each turn, with an expected value of 10, for 10 turns, which is 100 points of expected damage.
And it is clear that strong acid damage has a vulnerability effect on it.
That means doubling it again.
So terrifying.
Yuecun Ze instantly snapped out of his grief and quickly retreated a distance using the Misty Step. He was breathing heavily as the half of his face that had been assimilated by the paper slowly faded away and returned to normal. He looked at the direction from which the acid had flown with some surprise.
Teacher Big Cat?
Although he was depicted in a simple, cartoonish style, he was still easily recognized by his familiar attire.
"Catch this!" Without any further ado, Yutenji Wakanai forcefully tossed a bottle containing a 3-piece H-shaped jar to him.
Koshimura Sawa reached out and steadily took it.
Experimental Elixir (an experimental drug)
[Tier 3 Alchemist Trait]
[Each time you complete a long rest, you can magically create an experimental potion from an empty flask you come into contact with.]
[A living being can drink this elixir with a single action, or it can be given to a disabled being. During the drinking process, the disabled being must roll two D6s to determine the elixir's effect using an experimental elixir table.]
You can create additional experimental elixirs by consuming a spell slot of level 1 or higher. To do this, you need to touch an empty flask with an action and fill it with the elixir.
You must possess alchemical tools to create experimental elixirs. Any elixirs you create using this property will persist until they are consumed or your next long slumber ends.
When you reach certain levels in your profession, you will be able to craft more potions at the end of your long rest: 2 potions at level 6, and 3 potions at level 15.
[Experimental Elixir List d6 Effects:]
1. Healing. The drinker recovers health equal to 2d4 + your Intelligence modifier.
2. Speed. The drinker's speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour.
3. Resilience. The drinker gains a +1 AC bonus for 10 minutes.
4. Courage. For the next minute, the drinker may roll a d4 on every attack and saving throw and add the result to the throw.
5. Flight. The drinker gains a flight speed of 10 feet for 10 minutes.
6. Transformation. The drinker's body undergoes a transformation similar to that of the Alter Self spell. The specifics of the transformation are determined by the drinker, and the effect lasts for 10 minutes.
“I am a level 4 alchemist, and you?” Yutenji Ruomai pulled out a few more vials of reagents from her bag and stared intently at the monster in the distance.
"The Cursed Sword Sorcerer is also level 4."
A sorcerer?
Yutenji Wakamu was stunned for a moment.
I've never heard of a sub-position before...
But we can't worry about that now.
Although sorcerers are spellcasting classes, they differ from mainstream spellcasters by sacrificing endurance in exchange for extremely high burst damage.
This is what is known as a magical kitchen knife.
This is a profession perfectly suited for such skirmishes.
"I think I've figured out what this thing is like," Koshimura said quickly. "It amplifies people's negative emotions, turning them into paper. Don't look into its eyes, and don't think about negative things, like the minimum guarantee being wrong..."
He visibly became sad.
No, is this the most negative thing in your heart?
"Can you still move around normally?" Yuecunze casually unleashed a magic energy blast at the monster in the distance, then glanced at her limping figure.
"I twisted my ankle. I can walk, but I can't run vigorously," Yutenji Wakana said helplessly, looking down at her swollen ankle.
"Understood. Then you just need to keep me in check and find ways to create opportunities for me."
Koshimura took a deep breath, and in his empty left hand, the Shadow Energy rapidly gathered and solidified, transforming into a long blade with black mist constantly emanating from its edges.
He flicked his sword, and black flames instantly ignited on it, mingling with the lightning-covered Star Edge.
Thunderfire Sword!
Yutenji Wakana reached into her bag again, pulled out various reagent bottles, and tossed them out as if they were free.
[Acid Splash], [Flame Arrow], [Pathogenic Ray], [Assistance Spell], [Healing Mantra]...
The reagent bottles shattered one after another under the blows of the drumsticks, the clanging and banging creating a dense drumbeat.
The colorful magical energy waves struck the monster, while the rest landed precisely on Yuecunze.
Strong acids, flames, and toxins—a dense barrage of low-level spells bombarded the monster like a storm, sending papers flying and raising clouds of smoke mixed with the stench of burnt paper and sour odor.
Meanwhile, Koshimura Sawa was waiting.
Waiting for the perfect moment to enter.
He took a deep breath, tilted his head back and gulped down the bottle of [experimental elixir], then wiped his mouth.
As the damage continued, more paper began to peel off from the ground and walls, joining the monster's body and splitting into more twisted limbs, inevitably causing a momentary sluggishness in its movements.
It's now!
A clear and penetrating string sound instantly rang out, perfectly blending into the drumbeats.
It infused this magnificent performance with soul and form!
When the smoke and dust cleared, Yuecunze's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Appearing like a ghost on the monster's side, the two swords crossed, and slashed fiercely at the weak spot that had been corroded by the acid!
However, just as the blade was about to touch its target, the scattered papers on the ground suddenly seemed to come alive, rising into the air and rapidly folding and hardening to form countless paper arrows that gleamed with cold light, unexpectedly stabbing towards Koshimura Sawa's back.
Yutenji Wakame's pupils contracted involuntarily.
"Be careful--!"
Just as the countless paper arrows were about to pierce his body, "Yuecunze's" body suddenly shook violently, then shattered into countless transparent fragments and disappeared.
【Mirror Image Technique】.
From the very beginning, the one at the very front was a pre-prepared illusion.
Meanwhile, the real Koshimura Sawa, using the illusion as cover, was now hovering steadily directly above the monster.
【1d6=5】
[The drinker gains a 10-foot flight speed for 10 minutes.]
【1d6=3】
[The drinker gains a +1 AC bonus for 10 minutes.]
That was a huge help.
With a thought, he cast the [Cursed Sword Curse] on the monster and raised the swords in his hands high.
Now that we've shown all our joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, the next step is naturally—
Go for it! II$ Yisan Noon (7) 9 Six III (2) Group Chat
Chapter Fifty: Wolves Fall from the Sky
"what happened?"
Yutenji Wakana looked at Koshimura Sawa, who was retreating and landing beside him.
Koshimura Sawa dispelled the Shadow Blade in his left hand, shook his wrist which was a little sore from continuous slashing, and frowned.
"No, it's not doing any damage when I hit it."
The attack was not ineffective. Since the monster's defense was not good, each slash left at least one wound on its body, and even tore off large pieces of paper.
The problem is that no matter how big the wound is, the surrounding paper will immediately adhere to it, wriggle, and heal, quickly repairing it completely.
Even the continuous corrosive effect of [Tasha's Acidic Brew] cannot keep up with its recovery speed.
[That's how humorous DoT teams are; they're always waiting for the next dawn.]
Looking around at the amount of paper in this subway station... if you just rely on grinding, it would probably take a whole day and night to finish.
[That's a lot already.]
?
No, what time is it? You still have time to make sarcastic remarks?
"Then you'd better hurry up and think of a solution!" Yutenji Ruomai said anxiously, her hands never stopping. Another reagent bottle turned into flames under the tap of her drumsticks and shot towards the monster. "I don't have many potions with me. They might not last much longer. If I dawdle any longer, I'll probably have to make some myself."
After all, she only went out today to gather materials like Teacher Sanzha, and the number of medicines she carried was limited. Once they were used up, the on-site preparation would not only be slower, but the effects might also become unstable.
To give an example, if using a ready-made potion requires an additional action, then mixing the potion and then using it consumes both an action and an additional action.
The efficiency difference is enormous.
Well, these two burst-damage classes have run into a tank that heals faster than its burst damage, which is pretty unlucky.
"No, I'm just thinking of a solution." Yuecunze's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings, his brain working at high speed under [parallel thinking].
"What I mean is—don't lure it over here!" Yutenji Wakanai watched as the monster crouched low and hurtled towards them like a runaway truck, her voice trembling with fear.
The enormous paper body rolled across the ground, creating a whistling sound.
The paper along the way was swept up by it, forming a white wave that swirled around like a swarm of locusts, and even the ground of the subway station seemed to tremble slightly.
Yutenji Wakana instinctively stepped back, but this aggravated the wound on her ankle, causing her to gasp in pain and lose her balance again.
The next second, she suddenly felt a strong arm wrap around her waist. Her vision blurred, and the surrounding scenery rushed past like elongated blocks of color. When her vision cleared again, she was already on the stairs leading to the station hall.
Caught off guard, the monster, propelled by immense momentum, crashed headfirst into the wall behind where they had just been standing. Debris flew from the solid concrete wall, embedding half of its body into it.
"You can stay here for now, okay?" Yuecun Ze said as he carefully placed her on the steps.
“Hey, you—” Yutenji Wakana’s cheeks flushed slightly. She was about to protest why this guy had suddenly put his arm around her waist without permission, but then she remembered that he was trying to save her, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just muttered, “...Oh.”
By the way, did you know that you don't actually have to hug someone's waist to use the "Mysterious Step" to carry them? You can just hold their hand.
Really? Why are you telling me this...?
Don't you think this looks cooler?
[? I thought it was you, Guo Nan, starting your classic ditty again.]
How can you talk like that? Looking at this chibi-style drawing of Teacher Meow, I have absolutely no worldly desires.
Yutenji Wakana noticed that Koshimura Sawa's gaze had inexplicably become innocent. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she still took out a sticker-like thing from her bag, rolled up Koshimura Sawa's sleeve, and slapped the sticker onto his forearm.
