Volume 2 Chapter 37 Combat Skill And Rock Boar
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
When I woke up in the morning, I couldn’t help but feel aroused by Annabella, who was still asleep, and released one inside her.
She got mad when she woke up, but I got her forgiveness with a kiss on the cheek.
I mean, if I woke up in the morning to find a beautiful woman sleeping naked in front of me, there’s no way I could choose not to take action.
Thanks to the cream I applied yesterday, I could feel that Annabella’s skin had regained a firmness and freshness that rivaled Ines and Feria.
Ines and Feria have also woken up, but it seems they didn’t catch on to the fact that I had done it with Annabella while she was sleeping.
”Now then, Ines, Feria. I’ll prepare breakfast. Since Lady Miriallia and the others have been on sentry duty, let’s let them sleep a bit longer.”
”Okay, I’ll go take a shower!”
”I-I’m also going to wash up before I join you.”
Feria and Ines had freshened up before I went to bed, but it seems they want to wash off yesterday’s sweat before getting to work.
”Well then, hurry up.”
Annabella gave permission for them to take a shower, and the two of them grabbed their clothes and ran to the shower room.
”Phew, Sir Kent’s precious sp*rm is dripping out.”
Still naked, Annabella placed a cloth over her private parts and wiped away the spilled seed before starting to put on her underwear.
Watching this, I reached my limit when Annabella put on her underwear.
”Sir Kent? Oh, it’s you again.”
I pushed down Annabella in her underwear, released again, and felt refreshed.
It seemed like Annabella was also perhaps inviting me, as she had an ecstasy expression when I came inside her.
After that, while soaking in the morning bath until breakfast was ready, I was checking the growth of the members from yesterday’s battle and noticed that several members had acquired Skills called “Fighting Skills.”
I had asked Milly before, but she said that being an S-Class Hunter, she hadn’t learned many Fighting Skills because she focused on acquiring magic and Modifier Skills as a solo hunter, which still left many available Fighting Skills to be learned.
This time, Annabella, Aurelia, Manon, Ines, and Feria had acquired Fighting Skills.
Looking in detail, Annabella had acquired [Immovable Stance], Aurelia had [Golden Phoenix King’s Sword], Manon had [Rapid Arrow], Ines had [Axe Crush], and Feria had [Head Hunt].
Regarding growth, I left it up to them, so they could acquire any jobs or Skills they wanted.
However, I thought it would be helpful to see what kind of techniques they had at least once during today’s hunting, so I planned to ask each of them individually later.
”Mr. Kent, breakfast is ready!”
Since Feria came to call for me, I decided to get out of the bath.
* * *
After breakfast, I heard from Milly that the habitat of the rock boar (stone boar) for today’s hunt is located further into Mount Mylon from this hot spring area, so I planned to send out an advance party just like yesterday to secure safety before calling for the carriage.
This time, the rock boar (stone boar) has high original defense and magic resistance, and all the magic that Lina remembers would only be half as effective, so I decided to have Manon take Lina’s place in the expedition party.
While Lina was fuming, saying “When we get back, I’m definitely going to learn earth magic,” if Lina got killed by the rock boar (stone boar) with her magic halved in effect, it would be all for nothing, so I politely persuaded her.
Of course, polite persuasion means leading her to a secluded area and sharing a passionate kiss to get her to listen.
Having successfully persuaded Lina, I led the hunting party deeper into Mount Mylon.
* * *
After progressing for about an hour, the number of rocky areas with large boulders increased, the trees disappeared, and here and there white smoke drifted with a smell of sulfur.
”We’re almost there; the rock boar (stone boar) habitat is just ahead. Everyone, stay alert!”
Milly urged us to pay attention.
Tension returned to us, who had been walking absentmindedly.
*Rustle*
”Looks like it’s here. The Stone Boar has really tough outer defenses, so if you don’t dodge its charge and attack its belly while it’s down, your weapon’s blade will chip, so be careful.”
”Got it. Everyone, be careful too!”
””””Yes!””””
Suddenly, what I thought was a rock started to move and rapidly approached us.
*Huff! Huff!*
The source of the noise was a boar that was far too large to be called such, resembling a rhinoceros with a body covered in what looked like rocks instead of fur.
The Stone Boar seemed agitated, snorting heavily as it ignored the vanguard and charged directly at me.
”Sir Kent! To target my lifelong master, what an insolent monster! I won’t let you pass!”
A pale blue light emitted from Annabella’s body, wrapping around her.
Wrapped in light, Annabella stood between me and the Stone Boar, bracing a large shield.
The Stone Boar charged at an unexpectedly high speed that belied its massive body.
”Annabella! It’s okay to dodge! Dodge now!”
I urged Annabella, who was trying to intercept the charge of the Stone Boar, to dodge.
However, Annabella smiled brightly and shook her head.
No way, if she takes that hit directly, she’ll die.
*Clang!*
The sound of the collision echoed.
When I looked, Annabella was magnificently holding back the Stone Boar’s charge with her large shield.
The Stone Boar seemed to be trying to push through with sheer force, aggressively stomping with its front legs, but Annabella didn’t budge.
”Take this power bestowed by Sir Kent!”
*Gosh!*
After successfully stopping the charge, Annabella delivered a clean hit to the Stone Boar’s head with the mace she was holding.
The Stone Boar, struck with a powerful blow to its head, fell over on its side.
”Oh, Annabella. What happened? You’ve suddenly become strong.”
”Thinking of Sir Kent, a sudden light surrounded me… I believe this is the activation of the skill [Immovable Stance] that I acquired during my duties last night. I should be about twice as strong now. It consumes about half of my magic power, but it seems I can increase my combat power in times of need.”
”I see! That’s amazing, as expected of my head maid!”
I was impressed by Annabella’s strength.
While we were having that exchange, the other members were attacking the fallen Stone Boar’s belly.
Since I had told them to let me know individually about the skills they acquired, Ines declared that she would use [Axe Crush].
”Sir Kent, please watch my skills carefully! Here I go, [Axe Crush]!”
Ines unleashed the skill [Axe Crush] toward the Stone Boar’s belly, which was struggling to rise after being knocked over.
Ines’s 2-handed axe, wrapped in wind, swings upward from below, slashing through the abdomen with a speed that makes the tip of the axe tremble.
Then, as the raised axe emitted a black light, Ines swung it down with all her might.
*Crash!*
The power of the swung axe was so tremendous that it not only cleaved the stone boar in 2 but also cracked the ground beneath it.
The split stone boar let out a death cry as it trembled and oozed black particles for a while, but eventually it stopped moving.
”I did it, Sir Kent. Did you see my [Crushing Collapse]? With my current ability, I can only use it one more time,”
I was dumbfounded by the power of Ines’s [Crushing Collapse], which had even split the ground.
Ines already had great strength due to her racial traits, but I never imagined that mixing her weapon and skills would produce such a brutal attack.
”Ines’s combat skills are impressive too; to split that sturdy monster in half, I barely had a chance to act at all,”
”That’s right! I can’t wait to show off my combat skills too!”
”Lord Kent, please let me use my combat skills next.”
Feria and Aurelia approached me with hungry, gleaming eyes like beasts craving blood.
Those eyes are a little scary.
”Ah, uh, okay. Show me your combat skills next, you two.”
Saying that, I somehow managed to get through the situation.
Then, I looked for the next stone boar, but unlike the previous monsters, stone boars mostly live alone, so it took about 30 minutes to find a second one.
”Finally, we found it… Wait, huh? There are two of them?”
When I looked over at Feria’s words, there were 2 stone boars (Stone Boar) glaring at us like a small mountain.
*Ghh, ghh!*
The two of them began preparing to charge while kicking the ground with their front legs.
”Lord Kent, I’ll handle one with my combat skills!”
Saying that, Aurelia started running toward one of them.
”Then I’ll distract the other one with my combat skills-nya. [Rapid Arrow]!”
As she said this, Manon drew her bow and shot 3 arrows in the blink of an eye.
All 3 arrows struck one of the stone boar’s (Stone Boar) eyes dead on.
*Ghh, ghh!*
The stone boar, having injured its eyes, charged toward a nearby rock, smashing it to pieces, but its anger wouldn’t subside as it charged at Manon who had shot the arrows.
I instinctively stood in front of Manon, readying my spear and large shield.
”Ah, watch out! Kent, dodge!”
Milly warned me, but if I dodged now, Manon would get run over and seriously injured, or worse, killed.
Considering that I was wearing plate armor, I reasoned that I could at least survive with only serious injuries, so I decided not to dodge.
The figure of the stone boar suddenly grew larger.
*Crash!*
I heard a thud that resonated in my insides, and I might have a few cracks in the bones of my arms and chest.
Ouch.
──The skill [Flash Thrust] has been unlocked.
Is it now, of all times?
The stone boar was trying to force me back with brute strength, pressing down on me.
As a result of that pressure, my body began to creak and groan.
Damn it, if it came to this, I’ll learn the skill [Flash Thrust] and counterattack.
──Skill [Flash Thrust] has been acquired.
I was in a rush, so I didn’t check if I had enough skill points, but it seems I did.
Then, I decided to use the [Flash Thrust] I had just learned.
”[Flash Thrust]! Take that, you bastard!”
About a third of the blue mana bar was consumed, and the skill activated.
The tip of the spear was enveloped in green light, as if it were cloaked in wind.
Eventually, when the entire spear was surrounded by green light, I struck the Stone Boar.
*Thud!*
The spear, thrust with an unprecedented speed, pierced through the throat of the Stone Boar and impaled it all the way to its head.
The Stone Boar, which had been pressuring me, suddenly stopped moving and collapsed like a toy whose batteries had died.
