Chapter 63: Young Tree Forest victim<hr>
    We arrived at the forest and changed members. The group was made up of Chess, Gale, Byakuya, Hiyori and Yuuga, all newpanions. The reason for this is that I want to raise their levels before going to the next country. Not suitable for night battles, but be patient.
    We then entered the forest, where an unusuallyrge number of monsters appeared. This may be normal since we''ve only been hunting Desnia, but still, there were a lot of them. Thanks to this, Chess and the others are leveling up well, but fatigue is umting. I couldn''t let them return to death, so I changed the team to Lily, Setia, Gray, Kotetsu and Konoha. Our goal was to improve Setia''s magic skills. After all, magicians need to train their magic. I also decided to try out the rest of the new magic while I was at it.
    Rave Rot. When you ce a magic circle on your opponent, light will gather there and explode. It also damages anyone around the target and causes a low probability of the condition abnormality: darkness. The problem is that it takes a long time to activate.
    Red Ray. Emits an infrared-like redser that explodes on contact. This is a single attack with high power. It''s also very fast. There is no abnormal condition, but it''s a very useful magic.
    Poison. As expected, it generates a high probability of poison status abnormalities. As with the shock bolt, the target is a single, but I''m still happy with the high probability. It seems to be active against hard enemies.
    Vine Bind. Binds the opponent with tree roots for a certain period of time. Unlike paralysis, the opponent seems to be able to move, but this seems to be a definite magic that interferes with the opponent. It''s good, isn''t it? Definite sounds good.
    Freeze. Freezes the opponent at a high rate. The difference between freeze and paralysis is that with freeze, the opponent is frozen, making it harder for damage to pass through and the freeze causes a small amount of damage. It may be a magic that is unexpectedly difficult to use.
    Icicle Arrow. A spell that shoots icicle arrows at the opponent. It''s apletely higher level version of Ice Needle.
    We all leveled up as I tried out the magic. We''ll continue to collect as well. And since Lily and the others were getting tired, I summoned Legion at the Desnia river and while everyone was taking a break to eat, Gray and the others suddenly became rmed.
    Don''t tell me its army ants?
    I shined my light magic in the direction of the alerted Gray and someone was running in panic. I check the marker and it''s an NPC. And the info.
    Urgent quest Young Tree Forest Victim has urred
    Oh, so it''s a quest after all.
    "Light!? Please! Please help me!"
    It looks like it''s a boy. Anyway, tell me what you''re running away from. If it''s the army ants, I''m not going to be able to help you...but then the enemy appeared, knocking over the trees.
    "Wooon!"
    It''s the Wolfman. I don''t know if I''ll have to fight this guy again, but the experience and the materials are good. But when I identify it, it''s a little strange.
    Wolfman Lv10
    Monster Subjugation Target Active
    The level is visible and it''s not a mid-boss, but a monster. I wonder if it''s getting weaker? Let''s do it anyway. I use Shock Bolt on Wolfman to stop him from moving. In the meantime, the boy gets to me.
    "Haa, haa, ah, who are you?"
    "I''m Takuto, a summoner. I can''t talk to you at this point. Let''s talk about it after we defeat him"
    "Eh!? Can you beat that thing!?"
    "I think I can"
    Or rather, it will be easy. A total of 11 of my summoned beasts are gathered around me.
    "Are we going to fight? Takuto"
    Lily asks innocently.
    "Yes. It''s not like we can run away from it...this time we''re going all out. We''re going to hunt it with all our might"
    ""I understand!""
    "Leave it to me!"
    In my words, everyone shifts tobat.
    "Konoha and Hiyori, you''ll support us from the air"
    With my order, Konoha and Hiyori take off into the sky. Next, I give instructions on the position.
    "Lily, Ion and Chess will be in the vanguard. The rear guard is Kotetsu. The left and right are Gale and Byakuya. Yuuga will provide support and Gray will be in charge of guarding the boy"
    They responded to my instructions and took their positions.
    "Setia and I will support with magic"
    "Leave it to me!"
    When the Wolfman is released from paralysis, wolves gather with a scream. There are more thanst time. And Wolfman rushes in with the wolves.
    Last time it was watching, but this time it''s aiming for a melee...or is it changing its fighting style depending on the situation? But I''m not so naive as to allow it to do that just because its aim is so obvious.
    My spell isplete.
    "Thunder Branch!"
    The branched lightning strikes Wolfman and the wolves around him. The Wolves are incapacitated by it. The Wolfman doesn''t care and rushes in.
    "Lily. Take care of him"
    "I got it! Takuto!"
    Lily activates her fighting spirit and charges in with her big sword. Wolfman also activates his w skill.
    "Heavy sh!"
    "Gaaaaaa!"
    The two of them shed with their special skills, but the decision went to Lily.
    "Yaa!"
    "Gaaaaaa!?"
    Wolfman is blown away by Lilys blow. In the meantime, we''re dealing with a pack of wolves. Everyone is responding well.
    Ion overwhelms Wolf with her speed. Some of the Wolves are able to get past Ion, but they are met with an ice punch from Chess. Wolf is blown away. I''ve heard that bears can be defeated by wolves, but only if the wolves are in a pack. There is no way that a bear can lose to a wolf in a one-on-one match.
    In the rearguard, Kotetsu is struggling, but he is still overtaken. Setia''s magic and Yuuga follow it. Even so, Gray firmly finishes them off. He''s the senior.
    The left and right wolves are pitiful. On the left, Byakuya wearing a wind de rushes into the wolf and the wolf is chopped. It seems that Wolf was hit and run by using sprint.
    On the right, Gale is spreading lightning. Hiyori attacked the paralyzed wolf and stabbed it. It''s terrible.
    By the time Wolfman returned, all of the Wolves had been wiped out. Yeah, they''re all getting stronger!
    Wolfman was furious when he saw this and he lunged at them, but Lily stood in his way.
    "It''s up to Takuto. You''re up against Lily"
    Ooh, there''s a power that the usual innocent and cheerful Lily didn''t have. The defeat to Arthur seems to have certainly helped Lily grow.
    Then their skills collide again and Lily wins. She lunges in to stop him further.
    "It''s about time toe. I prepare a spell"
    And Wolfman activates his trump card, the scream. Lily is paralyzed. Konoha quickly backs her up with magic. And this time, because of the distance between us, we didn''t get paralyzed either. Then I used the magic I had prepared.
    "Clear"
    Lily''s paralysis is lifted. Lily''s heavy sh hit the Wolfman and we won.
    Urgent quest Young Tree Forest Victim has been cleared
    After sessfullypleting the quest, everyone except for me leveled up. It''s still a Wolfman, so it gives a certain amount of experience, but I guess it wasn''t as much as the mid-boss. My skills have improved and I''m satisfied. Now, what should I do about the boy who is stunned?<hr>

    Author note:
    In case you''re wondering, the wolfman that appeared this time is an event-specific wolfman. It has nothing to do with the mid-boss.
