The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 170: "Stand By Me"

The [Holy Explosion] is the most powerful magic in [Sacred Magic] at the moment.

In terms of sheer attack power, [Dark Implosion] is probably the highest magic Rare has, but since the enemy seems to be undead, [Sacred Magic] would likely deal more damage.

I thought one shot of [Sacred Smite] would be enough, but my estimate was off. It seems like the player has heavily invested in VIT and STR, resulting in a high LP.

Despite appearing physical, they use [Undead] skills. Whether it's a physical build or a magic class, they engage in close combat, have high LP – where is this character's build headed?

However, it did cause some trouble.

As usual, it's mostly the result of Rare's carelessness, but it's also true that this player had an unconventional build.

In summary, the responsibility of Rare can be considered practically nil.

"...But well, maybe I should avoid acting alone from now on..."

"I think that's a good idea. It was nerve-wracking."

Mare, who had been watching the whole situation closely, nodded.

Acting alone might lead to situations like this, where kindness is forced upon you. Even if I continue to use Mare's body to explore, it would be better to bring Kerry and others as party members. Unlike Rare, everyone has jobs, so they can't be free anytime.

It seems that when a body is returned to a familiar and the original owner takes possession of that body, there is a slight lag.

It seems that it is not possible to switch seamlessly during a battle.

This was discovered when I received the items from the Tankman. This lag is important, because until now, the only time I had paid attention to this was when I had achieved my goal of returning the spirit.

This time, the Goblin Mummy enemy was cautious, keeping its distance and giving us the time to do that.

When an enemy is cautious, whether to reset the situation by keeping a distance or to continue attacking without giving us time depends on the person's personality. It just went well because we were lucky.

In any case, that's why we struggled.

Returning the spirit to the main body, activating [Camouflage] on the main body, instructing Mare to shout the skill name in the friend chat, and summoning the main body as the target using [Summon].

And quietly casting magic using the [Magic Link] of the [Demonic Eyes].

This method creates a considerable lag from the declaration of the activation key to the actual activation, so if not done well, it might be seen as suspicious. However, it's a useful trick when you need to turn the tables in an emergency.

Since the activation key can now be freely set, it's possible to pretend it's a normal conversation and perform it, a high-level technique. It's a move that takes advantage of what was done to me when facing Lyra in Hugelcup in the past.

"The problem is the high difficulty of suddenly starting a conversation during a mission. It's an advanced technique, but there's no help for it. It's impossible for me, but a noble young lady like Mare should be able to handle it well."

"...What do you think a noble is...? It's impossible."

That is a future task, the result of the battle.

I'll have Mare release a bird to the city, and also summon Ominous-kun to explore the forest.

There are many big goblins, but it seems like they're all dead.
