Chapter 239 Nothing To Do
"Frozen Salamanders… be careful. They have a lot of mana, and keeping their enemies from approaching is their specialty," Sauros said after furrowing his eyebrows.
"That seems like a challenge…" Aion said, smiling after he stepped forward.
When they were fifty meters away, the monsters opened their mouths and then began to fire countless ice arrows. Aion smiled even more while he was spinning his spear in front of him. He blocked all the attacks, and while he felt some weight behind them, his strength reached a high enough level not to feel bothered by it. The attacks of several monsters weren't enough to pierce his defense.
When Aion tried to approach, the enemies moved in the opposite direction, and when he began to run, they turned to run… when he got close enough, the monsters began to hit the ground with their tails, and then some ice spears emerged from the ground and almost impaled him. Fortunately, Aion could feel the mana fluctuate on the ground, and he moved away before they could hit him…
It was a bit annoying, but the monsters sure could run. So, before others could join them, Aion used the Inner Force to boost his speed and approach them. When they noticed what had happened, Aion had already swung his spear and beheaded two of the monsters. The other one was hit when he threw the spear at its neck…

"I guess they were full magic and speed types…" Aion said. "Not much of a problem once you have the skills to block their attacks and the speed to reach them."
"I guess the two of us are going to have a hard time dealing with them at close range. Our best shot is long-range weapons," Sauros said.
"We should retreat right now, then, and there is no point in confirming the obvious," Seris said.
Aion felt like sighing… those guys sure were practical… Meanwhile, Aion was the type who would say: there is no way to know unless you try it. In any case, Aion made the weapon absorb them, and after the processing was done, he got three gems, several ice scales, the frozen leather, and some meat.
While they had some rations, Aion began to cook the meat. At the same time, he felt like Sauros wanted to ask how he got meat that obviously looked like it belonged to the frozen salamanders. He didn't ask anything, though. In any case, the meat wasn't half bad, but it lacked the spiciness that Aion enjoyed.
"Hmm, this is pretty good… it seems like the type of meat that would be even better after fried," Sauros said when Aion passed a chunk to him.
Aion was ready to pass Seris' to her, but she was too absorbed in her work… when he looked at her newest weapon, Aion frowned when he saw a crossbow with a weird design. The part where the projectile was supposed to be shot had a weird shape since it wasn't like a line or a tube…
When Seris finished and asked Aion to test it, she told him not to use too much mana but to point in the distance… he was left speechless when he saw a line of lightning after he pulled the trigger… almost instantly, a sphere of energy hit a wall five hundred meters away, and he still felt the ground trembling a little. Seris just made a fucking rail gun…
"The results aren't half bad. They should be useful, even on the fourth floor," Seris nodded to herself in satisfaction. "I added several runes in a line to make the projectile gain speed and power while crossing it, but the cost in mana will be higher than usual."

"That means that we will still have to rely a lot on Aion," Sauros said.
Aion was more interested in the fact that Seris managed to replicate how a railgun works just like that. He truly was left speechless… he never got arrogant, even with his powers. Still, once again, Aion was reminded that he needed to try a lot harder.
"What is it?" Seris asked when she noticed Aion's gaze. "Are you finally aware that I am a genius?"
"... I guess you aren't half bad," Aion said since he knew that she would get carried away with more praise than that.
"Rather than admitting it, it feels even weirder to receive that much praise from you," Seris said while scratching her back. "It feels itchy too."
After that, Seris made another one for her brother and even tested it with a magic stone, but those could only endure two shots… Aion tried to check if the blue gems of the frozen Salamanders could work, but she just shook her head.
"They have different elemental properties," Seris said while analyzing the gems. "Still, this one's here aren't bad… I bet I can use them to reinforce our equipment against the cold."
Seris began to work on that as well… in the end, she created something like an electric network that made the energy of the gems pass through the armors, and the effects would stack… at that point in time, Aion couldn't help but wonder how the hell she was able to do that… was that knowledge and technology people had in the past?
In any case, Seris ended up working more than expected, so the whole group had to rest for a while longer. Aion was in a hurry, even more so when he didn't have anything to do since the hairy monsters weren't showing up anymore.
Just doing basic training wasn't enough to keep Aion entertained during that mission, and things might happen if they split up, so he couldn't hunt in the next area… in the end, Aion decided to rest as much as possible and then dash toward the enemies as soon as he sees them the next time.
