Hazure Skill ‘Mapping’ wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Saikyou Party to Tomo ni Dungeon ni Idomu Chapter 39

This is a life or death situation .

This is the first time we fight at death’s door .   Will everything go smoothly? Should we just stop and drop our plan? I rub my pants with the palm of my hand to wipe out all of my doubts . I turn my gaze on Erin who should be more nervous than me .

Erin is the one who has to perform the battle plan . Her stress level should be higher than me . Her pupils are wide opened and she is clenching her teeth . Looking at her condition, I want to ask if she is okay, but the time is pressing . The frog beast is just one step away from the trap .

-----Finally, it was trapped .

The trap makes a sharp clicking sound . This is the signal that the monster fell on Erin’s ice magic trap .

Note: “Erin!”

Erin’s twin tails twitch from hearing my call . Erin who was holding magical power until the last minute with her staff is going out from her hiding spot . She tries to strike the monster without giving it any time to retaliate . I’m also going to follow her afterward .

Erin: “>!”

A fleeting light is formed from the tip of Erin’s magic staff . The light attack is launched toward the frog beast at the speed that cannot be flattered . Meanwhile, the frog beast’s feet are solidly frozen and unable to move . It appears to be unable to avoid the light attack . The light plunges toward the frog beast’s emerald green body . Soon after, the frog beast's body is being cut to pieces by the light blade attack . The light blade is pointed to all kinds of directions which makes the dark blue blood of the frog beast are sprayed against the wall . In front of me, Erin starts to relax after she thinks that the fight is settled .  

Suddenly, a hunch comes to my mind .  
 

-----No . Its not finished yet . The fight is still far from over yet .

Hostile aura is still creeping out from the body of the frog beast who is on the verge of dying . This monster is still persistent to live .

Note: “>, >, >, >, >, >!!”

I reflexively shouted > so many times . Then, I instantly hold Erin’s body in my arm and rush to escape .  

We have to getaway farther, farther than here, I thought so to myself .

Actually, I don’t know what is going to happen . The consequence is unimaginable . But I know one thing for sure, If I did not escape right away, I would die . I just escape based on pure instinct .  When I finally get a grip on the whole situation, there is a sword pointed right in front of my eyes and nose . It was closed by 1 cm to my face . I am mute in amazement as I look at the tip of the sword that is standing still .

This is not a sword . It’s a tongue .

I realize that the frog beast was trying to pierce my face by extending its tongue . Fortunately, I just thought to get away from the monster as far as I can……To think that it was pretty safe from our previous spot . My speculation was completely out of the mark . I let out a dry laugh as I reconsider the whole situation .   I didn’t think that the frog beast has a hidden long-range attack technique .

If we were late to jump away by one second .
 

If one of my > is not activated .

Then I would have been stabbed by this time .  
My thoughts are filled with those horrors .

Suddenly, I hear the breaking sounds of the ice trap and it makes me return to my sense . Apparently, the frog beast with all it’s might, is trying to break away from the trap . The sounds of the breaking ice are the signal .

Note: “Erin, quickly cast another spell!”

I forcefully open the narrow airway to my lungs and squeeze out my voice to scream at Erin . Due to my scream, Erin finally regains her sense back .

Erin: “Aaa…”

While being impatience, Erin fills up her magic into her magic staff . The spell is ready at the same time the frog beast breaks free from the trap . With a sound, the frog beast jumps like a bullet . Erin shuts her eyes while casting a lightning attack .

After violent noises, the frog beast go head to head into the lightning and burst off . Pieces of roasted frog beast meat are spreading in front of my eyes .

Note: “---That was dangerous…”

We look at the scattered bodies on the ground and reaffirm that the frog beast is completely dead . I fall down on the ground out of relief . I turn my eyes on Erin and she is also collapsed on the ground with a complex feeling .

Note: “Let’s move quickly to a place where we can eat . ”

Looking at the carca.s.s of the frog beast’s dead body makes my appet.i.te decrease by one degree . Actually, since it was killed with a flashy lightning attack, there is barely any body parts left of the frog beast that can be eaten . However, this was a prey that we risked our own life to hunt . There is no way that we can desert it before our own eyes . We should retrieve all the edible parts before other monsters come and make a commotion . Fortunately, there is no sign of monster coming to our location .

I take out a knife from the items bag and hand it over to Erin . The role for stripping the meat fall on Erin who has the skill to know which body parts of the frog beast that can be eaten . In the meantime, I keep looking out for the movements of the nearby monsters with
