CH 42

The basic stove and frying pan have warmed up nicely.

I throw one thing onto the pan.

Vanisoi seed, those boars' favorite.

...And we took on this commission to cultivate this. I did left enough for that though.

Apparently these boars love the scent of raw vanisoi, but fry it and their obsession gets elevated into a whole new level.

According to Menu, their thought process becomes dominated with 'Gotta eat them' to the point it's virtually impossible for them to resist the temptation. Sure makes them sound like some junkies.

Vanilla aroma begins spreading throughout the village. Those boars have good noses, they should notice soon.

Mana Detection tells me some Rush Boars are getting closer. Ten o'clock from me.

"They're coming from that direction, take up your position."

"Got it."

I told Alma where to expect the boars and to intercept them.

We're trying to kill one with every hit. The main course hasn't come yet.

Alma shot a Stone Bullet (Powered Up Ver) the moment she saw one, piercing through its whole body dead.

Umu, one down. Good shot.

She consumed around 20MP per shot. She's gonna run out of fuel if this keeps up but with me transferring my MP every time, it won't get to that point so easily.

I'm nearing level up, so when my MP is about to dry up, I just gotta kill one Rush Boar and replenish my MP full.

I've still got Mana Recovery pills for emergency too, MP should be non issue.

By the way, these pills are the gift I got from material store old lady. I forgot to use them during Stampede. Rasfin would have an easier time had I given some to her. Sorry.

We could have minimized MP consumption if I was in charge of killing these boars but only if I used Pile Bunker in close range.

We gotta keep Rush Boars away from the trap. It's intended for Jet Boar, we'd hit a dead end if some random Rush Boars got to it instead. Thus the prioritizing ranged attacks.

My mana throwing can't accurately hit the heads. There's the risk of a different boar coming for the trap if I'm too busy dealing with one.

On the other hand, Alma's magic is powerful even at a range, so I'm leaving this role to Alma.

About ten minutes after frying the beans.

We've killed more than ten Rush Boars.

These boars kept getting baited here.
