Oh, excellent! This is what I've been waiting for! While I knew all of my current abilities to use the handgun, and the mastery I had over the weapon, I was waiting for the uniqueness of this world to manifest, Skills! A Skill related to a Magic Handgun Techniques has finally emerged, and its passive enhancements are already taking effect.
I felt a faint, powerful Aura overflowing around my hand holding the Handgun, and even my eyes started glowing brightly, with the power of [Hawk Eyes] complementing my accuracy, it is certainly a deadly combination.
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!"
The roar of a gigantic bear echoed around our surroundings, as we were making our way deeper into the Cactus Forest, the last Fiery Grizzlies. Its enormous figure could be seen from afar, as over a hundred other bears accompanied the King of this place, the Blazing Grizzly King, most likely. Though its name depends on the variant. This thing might be from D+++ Rank or even C- Rank.
And seeing its enormous body approaching from afar, that thing is at least ten meters tall. It is very likely its already an evolved form, a C- Rank monster, probably much stronger than anything we've fought so far in here, and as strong as Dungeon Bosses.
"T-There are over a hundred bears!" Panicked Elianna. "Swamp Man, can you handle them?!"
"GRUOOHHH…!" Her spirit seemed willing to fight at the very least.
"Uuwaahh… So many! T-This feels ridiculous! Are we really fighting them right away after fighting fifty just now?!" Asked Ashen while panicking, his squid-like spirit floating over his head seemed just as scared.
"You two don't be cowards!" Patricia roared, as her large metal slime sword began shining brightly with her Mana Aura. "We've already gone this far, we've gotta finish everything off now! …Right Erdrich?!"
"Yeah, I am ready." Erdrich jumped off the Fenrir he was riding because he preferred to move around while fighting, his Demon Aura was surging widely while fusing with his Ki Aura.
"This is it everyone, our last fight before we end the monsters of this area!" Said Alianna. "Don't falter and remember to drink MP Potions whenever you're feeling out of Mana! I'll cover the frontlines with the other fighters, support me from behind, Mimy, and you twins!"
"Yes!" Mimy nodded, her slime seemed pumped up.
"W-We'll do our best!" Aquarius said.
"Yeah, leave it to our spirits and bubble magic!" Aquaria said.
"Clark! Arthuria! You two cover my back, I'll also charge into the frontlines. I won't be ridiculed by that country kid any longer!" Clarice said with a blazing conviction, her Lion Axe began roaring ferociously at her determination.
"I shall become your shield, Lady Clarice." Clark said, nodding while summoning his Rock Wyvern and holding his sword and shield while wearing his armor.
"I came to this academy believing it would be an easy trip towards becoming a seasoned knight, but things are becoming much more complicated! If we falter here, then I can't imagine how we'll handle the future tests that are to come." Arthuria said. "I shall lend you my sword, Clarice." Arthuria summoned her Holy Sword Spirit, as her golden and white armor shone brightly with her Mana Aura of Holy Light.
"Seems like everyone's ready." Eric said with a nod. "Alberta, we better not charge too much into the frontlines. Let's assist everyone with our long-ranged attacks." Eric quickly summoned his spirits and took out his Yggdrasil Bow.
"Y-Yeah! I-I didn't prepared this big cannon for nothing!" Alberta nodded, taking out the giant cannon she had brought with her. "I-I'll blast them…!"
"It's good that you're in high spirits." I said with a smile. "Eleanora, cover them for me. Hendrick and Saphira, come with me to confront the Boss. Ruby and Blood cover the other students if possible with the aid of the other Familiars."
"E-Eh? I can't go fight the boss?" Eleanora complained.
"We're fighting a bit too many monsters at the same time now." I said. "I need your help keeping the kids on check."
"Very well." Eleanora thought about it and agreed quickly. "Come on Blood, we'll protect everyone so nobody dies."
"WOOF!" Blood barked happily, wagging his tail around.
"Raaarr!" Ruby began following me from behind.
"Ruby you want to fight too? But your stats have yet to even match that monster." I sighed.
"RAAAR!" He roared angrily, looking into my eyes.
"Is this the Pride of a Dragon?" I wondered. "Well, stick with me and don't die."
"RAAAAR~!" Ruby began flying atop us, watching over the approaching army of blazing bears.
"GROOOOOAAAARRRRR…!"
The Giant Blazing Grizzly King roared furiously, unleashing a blazing aura that covered all of his allied monsters at the same time, boosting their physical strength and fire magic power.
"GRAAAAH!"
"GRUOOOHHH!"
"RAAAAAARRGH!"
"RAAAAHH!"
The giant bears began charging at us without walking slowly anymore, the battle began in a flash. Skills and Magic were conjured everywhere, weapons clashed against skin and claws against armor.
However, my current goal was beheading the Boss, of course.
