“It’s a boss tier monster. Everyone get ready!”
“Yes!!”
Judging by the level and stats, Enki and the others could take it, but I’ve never seen a monster with an unknown skill column. I can’t just rest easy because Enki is in front, I need to keep being cautious.
‘Goh!’
‘Shaaaa!’
‘Shrr…!’
Enki immediately uses Adamantine Armor III and braces.
Most of the enemy’s body is underwater. I’m sure Enki has decided it’s too dangerous to go in there, so it stopped. The Lake Naga also seems wary of Enki, and they’re staring at each other.
If I use Sea Part, the battle might start immediately. I’ll use this time to share information with the others.
“Aira, I’ll tell you everything I saw. Tell me if you figure something out from there.”
I tell her about the extra skills, Aira looks like she thought of something, and speaks after thinking for a bit.
“Master, I believe you are seeing species exclusive skills, or monster exclusive skills.”
“…What was that again?”
“The skills that did not appear when you used Appraisal on rare or rare II. Such as when goblins or wolves summon minions, or when snakes use evil Eye.”
“Ah, that! Then these three I see…”
“Yes. They could be something like the monster’s hidden trump cards.”
Their names are Death Breath, Water Drilling Flash, and Poison Foam Diffusion. Their names all sound deadly, but there’s nothing like an Evil Eye. I can’t say for sure that what I see is all there is to it, but my Intuition isn’t ringing any alarm bells. I don’t think I need to worry about that.
“It was a good call to give the girls Poison Antibodies III. Good job, master.”
“It was a coincidence. But Intuition is always working for me.”
Let’s keep Poison Foam Diffusion in the back of my mind, and watch out for the other two. I can kind of tell what Water Drilling Flash is, but Death Breath…
Is that also a poison attack? I can’t imagine it’s an instant kill move. I can’t imagine it will discharge it continuously either. If it’s registered as a move, there must be some motion to activate it.
Also, since it exists separately from Poison Foam Diffusion, it probably is a different kind of powerful poison attack. I guess I’ll have to fight while figuring out a way to deal with it.
…All right.
“Ayane.”
“Yes.”
“Can I leave Sea Part to you?”
“Yes!”
Ayane takes the Moses’ staff, happy to play a big part. She doesn’t have to part all the water in front like I did. She just has to part the water where the Lake Naga is.
“Here it goes… Sea Part!”
The lake parts, and the Lake Naga is completely exposed. It really does have the body of a giant snake. It’s just a big snake other than the fact that it splits into two heads from the bottom of the neck.
The next moment, Enki and the monster clash.
‘Gogo!’
‘Shaaah!’
The enemy tries to bite Enki, and it grabs the neck with both hands and stomps on its tail as a counter for an attack from there. It also uses Iron Sand Control to control dirt at the bottom of the lake and make it so it can’t move.
The Lake Naga immediately starts rampaging and breaks free, but it did slow it down.
‘Shah!’
‘Shaah!’
Both heads attack with a water laser from their mouths. I assume that’s Water Drill Flash. But Enki is using Adamantine Armor III, so the lasers are blocked by the golden film, and everything is stopped because it has the effect of three times nullification and an invincibility period.
I haven’t seen its main move yet, but it’d be a waste to just leave a strong enemy like this to Enki.
“Enki, switch. I want to have a go!”
‘Goh? Gogo!’
Enki lifts it by the neck with both hands, and uses a shoulder throw on the giant Lake Naga. Did it see that in an anime, or is it because of the Martial Arts Lv6 skill?
The sudden move means the Lake Naga can’t land properly, and rolls on the ground in front of me.
‘Sha, shaa!’
‘Shrrr…!’
“I’m counting on you, Enril!”
‘Popo!’
Enril flaps its wings behind me and sends wind.
If it does spew something vicious like Death Breath, if it comes with air, it should be pushed back by the force of the wind.
Normally in a battle like this, one would calculate the position like making sure to stay upwind, but with Enril here, everything else will be downwind.
“I’ve got nothing but traumatic or annoying memories of snakes, but I’m gonna take you out.”
‘Shrrr…’
‘Shah!’
Then my battle with the rare II starts. Well, it’s not one-on-one, since I have Enril’s support, but I couldn’t ask for a better training partner. At some point, it takes a breath that clearly seems to be for Death Breath, but I swap to the bow and use Thunder Arrow, canceling it.
I don’t think I can survive taking that hit on purpose. I’m using it to train, but I can’t be that careless.
“I think it’s time to end it. Oryah!”
After fighting for about ten minutes, I smack down both necks of the Lake Naga.

【Leveled up from fifty-four to two hundred thirty-four】
“Ahh…”
I stay alert, and watch as items and a treasure chest are expelled from the smoke. And I suddenly hear clapping.
Did I neglect them too much while training?
I turn around, and see not a single girl is clapping.
“!?”
But the sound continues.
I look up when I notice the sound is coming from there, and see a blonde guy hovering in the air.
