I ran toward the silver-furred Kamaitachi and sent ice arrows at it. But the silver-furred Kamaitachi dodged.
The silver Kamaitachi moved quickly, hiding behind the vegetation as it moved.
As I turned my attention to my detection skill to check, the grass on my right side rustled, and a blade of wind approached me. I made an earth wall.
But the earth wall has been cut!
I immediately thrust my white bear puppet forward to block the wind blade.
The wind blade of the normal Kamaitachi could be blocked by the earth wall, but not the wind blade of the silver Kamaitachi.
It seems that Shinobu was not lying when she said that it could even cut iron.
When I turned my attention to Shinobu, she seemed to be struggling as well. A little further away, I heard the sound of a tree falling.
I’m also worried about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear. But they are together, and also I told them not to fight the silver Kamaitachi, so they should be fine.
I shot my own wind blade in the direction of the sound of rustling grass. It cut the grass and attacked the silver Kamaitachi, but it dodged it.
As expected, it might have been a disadvantage to fight in a forest where dense grass and trees were growing.
It was naive of me to think that I would be okay because of my detection skills. No, I hadn’t heard that there was a higher species of Kamaitachi in the first place.
The silver kamaitachi is definitely a superior species of kamaitachi. Their speed and attack power is several orders of magnitude higher. The most annoying thing about them is that they have keen senses. Even if you attack them, they can evade it easily. I can now understand what Shinobu meant when she said that their senses are so sharp that you can’t hit them.
It’s such a pain since they’re small and quick on their feet.
Furthermore, the place we’re fighting them is also troublesome. The tall grass obstructs the view, but the trees are the most annoying.
They are in the way and cutting them down will only create more hiding places for the Kamaitachi. In fact, several trees have already fallen and the Kamaitachi is using the fallen trees to move around.
The geographical advantage is completely on their side.
If this was a place with a clear view, I could have fought all I’ve got, but I couldn’t ask a monster to do that, can I?
The silver-furred Kamaitachi moved around and shot wind blades at me. I used my bear’s wind blade to block them.
As the wind blades collided with each other, the wind blades got deflected and the grass was cut.
So annoying!
My vision got blocked. I glanced at my detection skill, confirmed the Kamaitachi’s location, and shot my wind blade. A tree fell.
At this rate, deforestation will escalate.
I can’t just burn them with flames either.
I took a deep breath and think.
……I think I’ll try that one.
If the opponent is small, I’ll have to compete with that.
I created some earthen bear golems the size of puppies, and more than ten of these little bears lined up on the ground. I put magic power into the little bear golems and locked on to the silver Kamaitachi.
[Chibi bears, go!] Yuna
As I waved my arm, the little bears began to move.
New magic, <Chibi Bear Army.>
Because of their small size, they have no offensive power and cannot contain much magic power. But I can make a lot of them.
The chibi bears ran across the ground and headed for the silver kamaitachi. The silver kamaitachi ran away, but the chibi bears chased after it like hounds.
The silver kamaitachi shot wind blades at the chibi bears. But the chibi bears dodged the wind blades.
The targets were small and there were a lot of them, so their opponent’s hit rate will decrease. Even if one of them got hit and knocked down, the next one will attack.
The silver kamaitachi ran through the grass, but the chibi bears caught up with it and got it surrounded. The silver Kamaitachi climbed a tree to escape. Then one of the chibi bears jumped up and hugged it.
It caught it!
The weight of the earthen bear golem slowed down the movement of the silver kamaitachi. Another chibi bear jumped on the encumbered silver kamaitachi and they fell from the tree.
All that was left was for the chibi bears to pounce on the silver kamaitachi when they touched the ground.
Then, the fallen silver kamaitachi was unable to move. The chibi bears completely subdued the silver kamaitachi.
I walked up to them and stopped the silver kamaitachi from squirming.
[Fu ~u] Yuna
It was harder than I expected.
What about Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear? And Shinobu?
When I looked around, I heard a sound at a distance. I used my detection skill to check where they at.
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear’s reactions were quite far away. I’m also worried about Shinobu, but I dashed toward Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.
I ran. Then, I was surprised at the terrible situation around me.
The grass was cut, and the trees were ravaged.
What happened?
The silver kamaitachi, perhaps?
