YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 437: Electrifying Mines

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Vials and bottles continued to rain, explosions of all colors painting the place with life and vibrance, and the swirls of mana orchestrating chaos and ruin. There were thuds, booms, crashes, crackles, howls, and bellows, music to the ears.

Such terrible theatrics was playing by the tune of a young lady, her silver hair aflutter in the air as she hurled one bottle after another. There was a bright smile on her face as she peppered the place with all sorts of destructive concoctions.

However, such fun wasn't one to last long. Soon enough, Yuna's stash became fully empty, all but a lone bottle to be seen. She threw the final piece, the final note soon ringing in the air with a loud and splendid bang.

"Mmn... That was the last one... That was a 100% solution, too..." ［Yuna］

"Don't be too sad now. You did quite a bit of damage, didn't you? At least we could confirm that it's useful against S-rank monsters and below." ［Grey］

"That's true... But it's not really that useful against Calamity-Class monsters and above. At best, all it could do was make an okay-ish wound." ［Yuna］

"There aren't many who can do that, you know? You should be a little more proud of yourself. You've already done great, Yuna." ［Grey］

"Mmn... I guess you're right..." ［Yuna］

The young lady was down, but her expression quickly brightened up as soon as Grey showered her with praises and compliments. She didn't dwell on the potion matters any longer and simply smiled like an adorable little rabbit.

It was still the Labyrinth, but the atmosphere was sweet as can be. It was as if the two were having a quick and light stroll, a date so to say. It was so sweet, even ants would die from diabetes. The only problem was...

BANG BANG BOOM BANG BOOM GHIEEEEKKKKKKK

... That there was quite a noisy and persistent monster trying to get at them. It was swinging its claws, lightning and thunder crying at every strike. It was quite ferocious, beating Grey's barrier again and again without rest.

It was a Shockfang, no, to be more specific, it was a Phantom Shockfang. It is a lightning-attribute monster which normally sits at S-rank, but the buff the Labyrinth provides, it is now sitting at the bottom of Disaster-Class.

Such a monster also happens to be the test subject for Yuna's experiments, utterly and completely enraged after Yuna bombed it without any shred of remorse. The wounds are already starting to heal, but the searing pain was still fresh as new.

"Now... What should we do with this thing?" ［Grey］

"Master... Mistress... Destroy... Enemy...?" ［Scheat］

"Fufufu! We appreciate the thought, Scheat, everyone, but it would be difficult for you right now. How about when you all grow a little bit more?" ［Yuna］

"Okay... Understood... Stay... Now..." ［Markab］

The spirits were also raring to go, but since they're still at E-rank, there isn't really much they could do. Even if they pour it their all, they wouldn't even leave a scratch. Still, the thought was quite adorable, Grey and Yuna smiling to themselves.

Well, despite all that, with the rate they're currently absorbing corruption. Sooner or later, they will be soaring through the ranks and before long, they should also be able to handle them. One could only wonder how such cute spirits can achieve such feats.

"Then, why don't we have your Master defeat the enemy for us? It should be over in  a jiffy! Won't you show us how cool you are, Sir Grey?" ［Yuna］

"Yuna, really... You make me blush, My Dear." ［Grey］
