Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 50: If Burning and Cutting Won't Work, Then

Having a bad feeling about the groans from inside the hut, we decided to first handle the Roper right in front of us and immediately went all out on it. Audrey and I simultaneously shot out the wind attribute Cut while Grimhart and Jessica slices off the tentacles trying to block the spells path.

It was an unplanned improvised attack, but maybe thanks to our training on the way, we moved perfectly together like an experienced party. However

Tsk, Didnt work, huh. It does look like it damaged it though

From the fact that combustion type Magic like Burn didnt work, we judged that its strong against the flame attribute, so we used Cut to physically cut it down. Our Cut sliced the Roper beautifully like shredded cheese, but the tentacles slowly reconnected themselves.

The surrounding Mana is gathering to the Roper! Its using the surrounding Mana to heal itself! Hell, is there anything it cant do!?

Constantly observing the Mana around us, Bia seems to have uncovered the secret to its regeneration. It looks like the Mana in the surrounding area is flowing into the Roper. Im shocked that there are monsters that can do that, but Im more amazed that Bia, having suspicions about it when my Corona Burn couldnt finish it off, immediately decided to shift focus into observing its Mana.

Still, the fact that its able to heal is quite troublesome. Moreover, were currently at this sacred mountain that holds an insane amount of Mana within. Theres basically an infinite amount of Mana for it to heal itself with. The Ropers main body is pretty slow and the tentacles movement itself isnt really that fast, so right now we can still deal with it. However, our enemy has infinite stamina and, in contrast, we can get hungry and fatigued.

More like, my stomachs already complaining, Im pretty much double hungry. As expected, after using some big Magic consecutively, Im running out of energy.

Oh, more bad news. Theres more. Haa!?

Just when I thought it was just Grimhart making some bad joke, another Roper began crawling out of a broken window. It looks like it got stuck on the window frame; its human skin is already ripped off.

There were four footprints, right? Yup. And there were two eggs, right? Yup. Wont it be nice if theres only two of them? Yup, youre absolutely right!

What Grimhart and I fear the most is the worst possibility of there being four of them. Just in case, I tried searching for Life Essence, but theres no response from the hut. Maybe theyre already dead, maybe they became monsters, I cant say for sure.

Either way, weve got no choice but to take them down! Yeah, but how? Burning doesnt work, cutting doesnt work; what do we even do!?

Even while having that conversation, the tentacles attack us one after another. All of them ignored Grimhart, thirty percent of them charged at Jessica and the remaining seventy of them rushed to us at the rear.

In contrast with her slow, calm tone of speech, with nimble footwork, Audrey handles the tentacles with her own sword. The problem is with Bia and the still unconscious Lysha.

Right now, Bia can still manage the approaching tentacles, using her throwing knife and hacking at any that come near her. As much as possible Im firing Cut at the tentacles going towards them, but still, the ones I miss rush over to Bia and Lysha.

Originally, we should have already retreated but thats pretty difficult with Lysha asleep. Even though Jessica and Grimhart are strong enough to carry her, descending the mountain while carrying someone is considerably hard, more so when you have to fight off tentacles.

In the end, as long as we dont do something about its healing ability, we cant defeat the Ropers and unless we wake Lysha up somehow, we also cant escape. Were at a complete disadvantage.

Hmm~ If burning it~ or cutting it~ wont work,~ then why not just stop it from moving~ If we could do it then we wouldnt have Oh right!

Thanks to Audreys advice, a certain Magic came to my mind. Rather, its a Magic thats so effective that its a mystery why I havent thought of using it up until now. Still, in many ways, its pretty dangerous. If I miss this, I wont have enough to fight back. Still, looking at our situation, I really dont have any other choice.

Audrey, please take care of everything! Oka~y I ask, for the means to repel the disorder before me! I ask, for the frost to halt the atrocity before me! Freeze!!

The Magic I used is naturally Freeze. Just in case, by also freeing the Mana in its surroundings, I stop the Mana supply its using to heal itself.

Freeze Magic demonstrated its effects perfectly. Both Ropers start freezing from the root of their shafts and without taking a second, it froze every single tentacle, stopping them completely. Since the tentacles themselves didnt have much power, its probably impossible for them to break out of the ice. And if its possible, theres literally nothing more I can do. Thats because I ended up pumping it with as much energy that I possibly can.

How, was it? Hah! You did it! Theyre completely frozen into statues! Haha, thats cause I hit it with all I have left Sorry Im going to sleep

Just to be sure, I asked Grimhart about the results, and thats where I lost consciousness.

Nfufu~ To think that shed freeze their surrounding time axis. As expected of my big sister, I guess?

In the sky, nearer to the mountains summit than the hut where Lily fought, a lone girl muttered to herself with no one in sight.

Like Lily, she wears her hair in a ponytail but hers is pitch black, and in contrast to Lilys pure white skin, she has darkish skin. But the pure black wings growing from her hips, the horns on her head and her impish looks are exactly like Lilys.

Nn~ We could still play right now, but~ It looks like shes tired so I should probably try another day, right?

The girl seemed just a bit disappointed, but she quickly moves on.

Well, first I should prepare my pets. Besides, its mo~re fun to play with everyone!

Muttering so, the girl displayed a smile far more depraved than how should have she appeared.
