Chapter 458: Add a Little More to It

“A powerful being?”

Just like the soldiers inside and outside the city, Jilly was momentarily confused by Magic Rainbow’s words.

At first, the brown-haired girl was surprised that Magic Rainbow had easily solved the trouble caused by the Red Rain with just one spell. Just as she began to feel admiration, the one in the sky claimed not to be a match for monsters?

But… she clearly didn’t look like she had shown her true strength…

And… a being stronger than the kingdom’s Chief Mage? What could that be?

“I see, has the time already come?”

Lvzi whispered nearby.

“What?”

Jilly looked at the green-haired girl with doubt.

“Hehe, it’s nothing! I mean, it’s finally time to show my skills in front of Lord Magic Rainbow!”

Lvzi said seriously.

“Oh wow, having a chance to perform in front of such a beautiful lady is really rare.”

“I see…”

“Yes, that’s right! But Jilly, you have to help distract the monster too. This bait task is very dangerous!”

Earlier, the adventurers were able to compete with the Meat Mountain mainly because most of the bloodthirsty monsters it sent out were busy hunting the human soldiers. Now, to distract the monsters means that all the attention of the Meat Mountain will be focused on them.

The danger was clear.

“Of course! But don’t worry, Sister Lvzi, I won’t hold you back.”

“I see… Little Jilly is really strong, isn’t she?”

Lvzi gently touched the girl’s head and squinted her eyes.

There is really no way…

If she follows along, it would be better to just be honest with her.

After all, the next place they were going was somewhere she knew well. If she saw that the forest she once knew had become a strong monster’s nest, Little Jilly would definitely worry about her helper, “Sister White Feather,” right?

Speaking of which, I have been observing this child for almost half a year. Little Jilly is a good girl! Even if I told her the truth, it was hard to imagine she would ever betray her mother. Hmm… but even if she did betray, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

…

…

Since Magic Rainbow, the Chief Mage of the kingdom, had spoken, everyone responded eagerly.

They just wanted to distract the Meat Mountain, but only these hundred or so adventurers couldn’t do it.

To catch big fish, you needed big bait.

After Magic Rainbow spoke, the commander of the army of ten thousand personally led a group of five hundred cavalry out of the city. They brought about a hundred strong horses for the adventurers outside the city, then they shot a rain of arrows at the Meat Mountain from their horses and quickly galloped away in the direction Magic Rainbow pointed to the west.

Although the Meat Mountain was attacked, it didn’t suffer much harm, but it was indeed drawn towards the cavalry.

The huge body that was about to charge at the city gate also stopped.

“Very well, now it’s our turn.”

Just when the Meat Mountain seemed to hesitate about whether to pursue, Army Lady called out to the remaining adventurers on the battlefield.

Although they had not discussed it beforehand, she, along with Lvzi and Stealth One, guessed what Magic Rainbow was thinking at that moment.

For what was about to happen in the western forest, there needed to be witnesses from both the cavalry commander in golden armor and the adventurers, or rather, the common people.

The golden-haired girl smoothly flipped onto her horse and put her long sword into her Magic Backpack, taking out a special black spear instead.

The spear was quite heavy, and when she took it out, the horse she sat on wobbled a little.

“Throwing Talent”—this was one of the many weapon skills Army Lady had gained over the past three years. She hadn’t used it often, so she hadn’t yet reached the advanced skill of “Throwing Master.”

At first, she had asked her sister, who was in the dwarf kingdom in the southern lands, to help find a suitable craftsman to make these spears, just to deal with large enemies.

Now was the perfect time to use these spears.

Army Lady gripped the spear tightly, adjusted her stance, and with all her strength, aimed the spear at the giant mountain of flesh and threw it.

Boom—

The black spear cut through the air like a roaring black dragon, piercing into the mountain of flesh. Then, there was a “thud,” and the spear shot out from the other side of the monster, completely going through the huge creature!

“Roar!!!”

With a deafening roar, blood gushed from the monster’s wound like a fountain.

“Wow, that’s amazing!!”

“To pierce through such a huge monster’s body in one blow, this truly deserves the title of S-class adventurer!”

“But such a powerful strike must be her secret weapon, right? Once she uses it, she might get exhausted or weakened?”

“Of course! If such a powerful strike could be used all the time, that would be unbelievable!”

Not only were these Class A adventurers amazed, but even the S-class adventurer “Big Blade” Walkery felt a shock in his heart.

From the power of that spear, he didn’t think he could withstand it at all.

“It’s so terrifying! Is she really a newly promoted S-class adventurer from the last year or two?”

…

Was it a bit too much?

No… should I say I overestimated the outer defense of this Meat Mountain? I should remember that I haven’t used skills like “Magnification” yet.

I was worried that the golden-haired girl, who thought her power was too weak, would quietly put away the second spear when she saw the power of the spear and heard the adventurers talking.

“Hehe, the Army Lady did well! Now, let me take over and add some more power!”

While talking to Army Lady, Lvzi suddenly had more than ten daggers soaked in green acid appear in her hands, held between her fingers by the green-haired girl.

Slurp~

She stuck out her cute little tongue and licked the acid from the tip of the dagger.

“Hmm… it tastes good; this concentration is enough for it to handle!”

Then, with a strong push, the dozen green daggers spread out like a fan and all shot toward the Meat Mountain.

With such a huge body, the Meat Mountain could not escape the attack of the small daggers. The daggers pierced into several places on the Meat Mountain at the same time.

“Roar!!!!!!!”

The intense pain from the acid eating away at its flesh was even greater than the previous hurt from the spear Army Lady threw. This time, it truly angered the Meat Mountain, which turned its massive body and rushed towards the place where Lvzi was…
