Greetings, Automata Maid

hich she’d struggle against alone.
But now she was thrown against a larger and more powerful monster.

This really is too much.
But we can’t step away from it.
It’s unrelated to me and Ophelia, but if we retreat, it’ll leave a very sour aftertaste.
So let’s do everything we can.

“Let’s go!”

Mir shouts and runs with her sword ready, and I begin shooting to support her too.
But all my bullets end like the first one, unable to do any substantial damage.
Mir’s sword isn’t much better.

It could easily cut through the goblins’ leather armor, but it can’t pierce the Tyrannoghavial’s scales.

“Garr!”

It opens its jaw with a roar, and Mir quickly retreats.
We had seen it tear a Clamp Boar apart earlier, so getting caught would be too dangerous.
But at the same time, we can’t escape from the fight anymore.

I repeatedly jump back while continuing to fire.
Eventually the Tyrannoghavial starts paying attention to me.

“Yahh!”

Mir’s sword glints, drawing an arc, but it’s repelled once again.
A blue speck of light follows into the same step, but barely does anything.
Nothing we did had any effect.

With another swing from the sword, it turns his eyes back to Mir.
I run closer and pool all the magic power in a magazine into a single attack.
The magic bullet hits the Tyrannoghavial’s flank, causing a wild explosion, but all it does is tip its body to the side slightly.

A moment later, it’s standing back on its feet.
I quickly throw my hand and hold onto a nearby tree, and pull myself there as fast as I can.
From the smoke of the earlier explosion, a long snout lined with sharp teeth appears and bites where I had been standing.

If I had taken a bit longer to react, it would’ve gotten me.
Once all the smoke dispersed, I looked at the spot I had hit earlier.

“Barely a scratch…”

I speak my mind without thinking.
A similar blast had taken out a Clamp Boar before, and I had gotten better at molding magic since then, but it had almost no effect on this monster.

Wait, maybe I was just thinking about this wrong.
Regular bullets only affect a small area, but they have a lot of concentrated power.
Incendiary rounds affect a large area, but their power is dispersed.
Regular bullets should be better for enemies with strong defenses like this one.

“Hyah!”

Mir’s sword strikes are fast, but they’re just as useful as before.

“I’m not done yet!”

Her first attack futile, Mir swings again.
Oh no.
I quickly throw my hand at her and pull her towards me.
