Even though there was a crowd of huge herbivorous dinosaurs dying to be preyed on by predators from the sky right behind us, this fella was aiming for us. Was it just being small-minded, or else, it was prioritizing hunting humans.
It was almost impossible to escape from a flying enemy in this kind of place without any refuge.
I'll leave this guy to you, Mei-chan. Rem, prepare Poison Arrow.
Though it was smaller when compared to the salamander, it could be a little bit bigger than the triceratops from before. Despite their similarity, I think we shouldn't underestimate this guy like those stupid kokkos. Despite its ridiculous appearance, it should be a boss monster. We must go all out from the very beginning.
I left the frontline to our Berserker, and prepared a ranged attack with our current greatest firepower, Rem the 1st with poison arrows.
I could literally manufacture poison arrows as much as I wanted as long as I had Poison, Enchant, and Simple Alchemy Formation.
There was no problem with delivering my order to Rem and Mei-chan but what should I do now during the battle?
Should I use Poison? Nope, Rem the 1st had already prepared a poison arrow, there was no reason for me to use poison too. Should I back them up with Wind Blade? Nope again, that attack might not even leave a scratch on this guy. The effect should be obvious once I fired that magic at that oversized kokko.
Guess, I've no other choice but to harass the enemy like usual Let's go, Arachne, show them who's the boss!
I invoked Black Hair Bind to twine its entire body. Arachne's spider thread was fired at the same time as if to match my timing.
At the same time, I replaced the skull of the Fool's Cane with Summoner's Skull.
Skeleton 3rd squad, CHARGEEEEEEEEEE! Fresh chapters posted on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Skeleton army from summon magic was truly unreliable to be counted as part of our manpower. But it was perfect for distraction since I could summon thirty at once.
They're absolutely useless whether it was their power, speed, or their intelligence, but they're a perfect sacrifice to grab that oversized koko's wings and legs to prevent it from flying.
KUEEE! KYOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
UWAA, seriously, aren't these guys like way too much!? Might be what they thought upon finding themself getting entangled with black hair, spider thread, and skeletons clinging into its wings and legs.
I would just finish them off right now if I solo them but unfortunately, that job went to the ace of our party.
GYOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The huge axe-like blade of the halberd which was made with something that resembled black ore sliced through the wing of oversized kokko so easily as if it was just a piece of tofu. The skeleton No. 6 that grappled those wings did their job perfectly. Yeah, good job No.6. Nice fight, nice assist.
The reason Mei-chan was aiming for the wings instead of the head was to prevent the oversized kokko from escaping, which was making our hunt become more complicated.
Yeah, now it's time to beat itShock!
Mei-chan kept abusing her martial art in the fight against the oversized kokko that did its best to dodge her attacks.
GOGYOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The oversized kokko was clearly screaming in agony when the membrane of its wing was torn by the powerful shockwave from Shock. I mean, it had already lost the other wing just a while ago.
With this, they're completely robbed of their flying ability. And now, we'd less worries about the incoming air-raid and closed their path of retreat from the air too.
And yet, they had yet to lose their fighting spirit. Completely enraged, they're charging towards Mei-chan, trying to attack her with their beaks Or not, they actually opened their beak.
Seeing the spark released from their beaks, I guessed that it might be some sort of fireball but, two arrows pierced into their wide open beak right at that very moment.
UGOOO! GOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Eventually, they ended up vomiting blood instead of flame, poor chicken.
But that was only as expected since it was the arrow with Poison's effect added in it.
Maybe due to their oversized appearance, the effect of the poison arrow fired by Rems has yet to show on the oversized kokko. Was the poison taking its time to encroach that huge body? Or else, did it have some sort of skill that invalidates the effect of poison? Well, I had no idea which one of those it was right now, but seeing the oversized kokko's agony, I couldn't think of it as having the skill to invalidate the effect of poison.
And then, even their plan to counterattack using a breath attack ended up in failure, I mean, that oversized kokko's fate was sealed the moment it showed an obvious opening like that in front of us.
What shall we do, Kotaro-kun? We can't finish a kokko of this size.
Don't worry, this guys meat is inedible after all.
Thus, after we finished dismantling it, taking out a reasonably sized core, feathers and shell, we continued on deeper into the ruin.
