The tail is attacking me, while I’m standing on the Scorpion’s back. I quickly jump and evade. But it was a blunder to jump halfway.
The tail swings like a pendulum and attacks me in the air. I got blown away by the tail that has just recovered. I was blown away and rolled near the wall.
I wasn’t paying attention.
Did I still feel like this is just a game?
If I take damage in the game, I can use recovery items. So it’s no problem to be a bit more aggressive.
In some cases, players were prepared to receive damage.
But there is no such remedy in this world. (I haven’t seen it yet.)
So thinking about such things, I have to fight a little more carefully.
When other people saw you being blown away, but then you walk it off like it’s nothing, then they’re going to be suspicious of you.
Even Karina was crying when I got blown away by a big sandworm.
From now on, I will carefully carve these words into my heart.
Somehow, I think I heard the voice of G.o.d saying,
Hey, even if I forget it once, I may be able to remember it if I carve it into my heart.
I’ll try to stand up with the help of the Bear Puppets by pushing myself up the ground. There is a puddle of water at the tip of my hand and the Bear Puppet enters the puddle. Apparently, I was blown away on a puddle of water.
If this wasn’t a Bear Costume that I got from G.o.d, the white belly part would become black and dirty by now.
But water?
I looked around.
There are puddles of water all around.
It wasn’t here before.
I probably created these puddles by shooting my water magic.
Apparently, the stratum here is bedrock. The water isn’t seeping like in the soil or sand. If the drainage system is insufficient, a puddle will form.
Something good comes to my mind.
But I’m tired of doing that magic. It is troublesome to change into a White Bear. I don’t know how long it will take. But if I use that…
Yeah, this would be possible.
I created about five Earth Bear Golems. The Bear Golems lined up in front of me. Then, I made the Bear Golems charge toward the big Scorpion.
Instead of making the golems attack, I made them run around the Scorpion to get it’s attention.
Meanwhile, I’ll run along the wall.
I’m running along the wall while filling the holes with earth magic.
Occasionally I get surprised to see a small scorpion, but I closed the holes without minding about it.
Meanwhile, the Bear Golems were running around the Scorpion and drawing it’s attention, but the Bear Golems were getting smashed by hard pincers or being destroyed by tail attacks.
I’m sealing the holes in the cave while watching the Bear Golems get destroyed.
Then the last Bear Golem was grabbed by the pincers and got crushed.
Even though it was just made of soil, it feels bad to to see the Bear Golems getting destroyed.
But thanks to the Bear Golems, I was able to go around the cave room. Now I am ready to defeat the big Scorpion.
I can work on killing the big Scorpion as it is, but that doesn’t help me. To be blown away once again, it doesn’t feel good. Also the Bear Golems were destroyed.
We will return the favor along with the interest.
Once again I created another batch of Earth Bear Golems and made it run toward the big Scorpion head-on.
While Scorpion’s attention is on the Bear Golems, I approached the Scorpion from it’s blind spot. Then, I climbed on the back of the moving Scorpion.
The Scorpion notices that I am on it’s back and strikes me with it’s tail, but I dodge it and move to the base of the tail.
You can’t attack me with your tail or pincers here.
I squeeze the black Swaying Bear knife and stab it towards the base of the Scorpion’s tail. This is also too thick to cut off.
The moment I pull out the knife and try to stab it again, the Scorpion rotates it’s body and tries to shake me off.
I immediately pierce the Swaying Bear knife in to prevent me from being thrown off.
The big Scorpion did not stop spinning. I also stab the Hugging Bear knife in my left hand and pull the knives in front of my body.
The base of the tail was carved deeply.
I put my right-hand Bear Puppet in the place where I cut with a knife. I feel uncomfortable but I have to endure it.
Scorpion screams, and tries to knock me off with a reverse spin.
(TN: I thought are goblin sounds.)
However, I grab the base of the tail with the left-hand Bear Puppet as well so that I will not be shaken off.
Then, I charge the right-hand Bear Puppet with magical power the and shoot a Bear Cutter.
Bear Cutter, Bear Cutter, Bear Cutter, Bear Cutter, Bear Cutter.
A scream-like leaks from the chelicerae of the big Scorpion.
At the same time the rotation stops, the tail is cut off and the centrifugal force launches me flying towards the wall along with the tail.
The Scorpion, who’s tail has been cut off, ticks it’s chelicerae at a high speed and made its eyes look agitated.
I wonder if I offended it.
But I’m simply returning the favor.
If it is true, then this would be a good time to enter the second round.
With the crystal plate in mind, I’ll put an end to this fight.
The angry Scorpion accelerates at once and approaches me at a tremendous speed.
Focused my strength on the Bear Shoes and jumped up close to the ceiling.
The Scorpion hits the wall.
Well, it looks like you have blood rushing through your head.
I created a scaffolding using earth magic at the wall near the ceiling and land on it.
The big Scorpion was angry with not being able to find me. It moves to destroy the remaining Bear Golem, while looking around, searching for me to see if I will try to stop it.
Even if it can find me up here, it can’t shoot it’s needles at me, because I ripped it’s tail off.
Are you ready for the final act?
I expand my foothold with earth magic. Then, I created the Bear Gate.
Not only one, but five.
The position of the Bear Gates A, B, C, D and E were arranged side by side.
Then, using Bear Gate A, I went to the Bear House in the town of Mereera.
It’s been so long since the last time I was here in the city of Mereera. I left the Bear House immediately because I have no time to stay long.
When I step outside, there are various ongoing developments and buildings are being built.
However, the development around the Bear House has yet to progress. It’s as if the structures was being constructed to avoid my Bear House.
Are you avoiding it?
Well, that’s not important right now.
I left the Bear House and started running for the beach. Shortly after leaving my Bear House, I will be on the road connecting the tunnel and the town of Mereera.
I cross the road and head to the sh.o.r.e. Then, I move to a place where no one comes along the coast.
Is this a good spot?
I was seen by a few people before coming here.
Don’t worry about it. It’s not that far anyways.
I dig a trench-like hole, about two meters deep near the coast. In the trench holes, the Bear Gates a, b, c and d are installed.
Bear Gate e, would normally be installed in the trenches, but…
Then, I connected the Bear Gates as follows Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee.
I return to the cave using Bear Gate e and look down.
You’re still angry.
This will to cool your head.
When I return to the sea, I removed the trench wall between the Bear Gates and the sea, breaking the dam wall.
Then, a large amount of seawater flows through the Bear Gates.
I return to the cave using Bear Gate e.
Huge amount of seawater flows down like a waterfall from the Bear Gates A, B, C and D. The seawater was pouring on the big Scorpion’s body.
Have you cooled your head a little?
From where I’m looking at, far from getting it’s head cool, it feels like it’s anger exploded even more as it screamed a very loud .
But that’s about it.
The Scorpion will be submerged in seawater any moment now.
Though one of my fears is that the big Scorpion would climb the wall.
The small Scorpions was climbing the wall earlier, but the big Scorpion only moved around without climbing the wall.
Maybe it’s too heavy to climb the wall?
If it seem like it is going to climb up, I’ll shoot it down, but it looks like there’s no need to worry about it.
The water flows like a waterfall from the Bear Gates and the water level rises, though it seems to take time.
I summoned Swaying Bear to watch it together with me.
Then, Swaying Bear immediately rubs his head against me. I feel like he’s angry at me, he’s complaining with , , .
[I’m sorry to make you worry.] Yuna
[It’s okay now.] Yuna
When I pet Swaying Bear’s head and hug him, Swaying Bear finally forgives me.
I’m glad you’re worried about me, but I want you to understand how I feel as well.
[Well, I’ll rest for a while, so let me know if the Scorpion does anything.] Yuna
When I ask Swaying Bear, he cries a cheerful , he seems to be happy.
I lie on the stomach of Swaying Bear. I’ll take a rest while listening to the sound of the sea water flowing like a waterfall.
When I lie down hugging Swaying Bear, I feel better.
The sound of water falling like a waterfall is unexpectedly not bad at all.
Well, Swaying Bear’s stomach feels good.
For a while now, I felt like my body was being swayed between dream and reality.
What’s this?
When I opened my eyes, Swaying Bear was shaking my body.
[Swaying Bear?] Yuna
There is still a sound, like a waterfall flowing down. Well, I never thought I’ve slept half-way in a place like this. I wonder if I was tired.
[What happened?] Yuna
I stood up and looked at the Scorpion.
At the bottom of the cave, the Scorpion was stuck.
Is it dead?
I’ll check with Bear Detection Magic.
I checked the bottom of the cave and the location of the monsters with my Bear Detection Magic, but there is no reaction.
It’s over.
I thanked Swaying Bear for waking me.
Then, in order to stop the flow of the seawater, I went to the coast using the Bear Gate E. As I walked to the sh.o.r.e, I made a wall with earth magic to stop the seawater flowing through the Bear Gates.
When the seawater was stopped, I closed the Bear Gates a, b, c, d and e and recovered all the Bear Gates in the beach.
It’s a ha.s.sle, but I’ll have to go back to the Bear House in Mereera and use the Bear Gate installed there to return to the cave.
Then, all the Bear Gates in the cave were recovered and the game finally ended.
Now, the question was how to recover the big Scorpion, but I already figured it out.
It takes time to drain the seawater if dig a side hole.
And it is not possible to drain it if there is no s.p.a.ce for the seawater to get flush somewhere. Therefore, I decided to leave the seawater as it is and only recover the Scorpion.
I’ll make an air bubble around me using wind magic.
It’s one of the ways I came up with when I was trying to kill the Kraken before.
If I can’t fight on the water, I can dive into the water for a short period of time.
[Well, I’ll be back in a minute, so wait for me.] Yuna
I told Swaying Bear to wait here, then I dive into the seawater. I entered the water while I’m inside the air bubble and slowly descend deeper, then I arrive at the remains of the big Scorpion.
Then, I reach out to the Scorpion and put it in the Bear Box.
With this, my mission is complete.
By the way, the small Scorpions and the tail which I cut off earlier are also collected.
[I’m back.] Yuna
All that’s left is to go back to Karina.
However, I notice that there is no way back. The pa.s.sage where I came in was now under the seawater.
Well, if there’s no way out, all I have to do is dig the ground.
I decide to dig while making stairs.
I dig rocks, dig sand and move up.
I came across some open s.p.a.ces along the way, but I made stairways without worrying about it and keep digging.
It’s a ha.s.sle. But, I finally got out to the ground floor.
Oh, it’s dazzling.
I pulled the Bear Hood to the front and cut off the light.
I got out safely.
I left the seawater and came back to the ground floor, it feels nice.
Later, this seawater will be discovered by the adventurers and it’ll be a hot topic among the researchers who will be studying the underground of this pyramid and the fish ecology inside it.
…………That has nothing to do with me.
Author’s Note:
Now we’re done with subjugating the Scorpions.
It’s about how to use the Bear Gates.
It is a method which cannot be used with transfer magic alone.
It is necessary to improve the mood of Hugging Bear because the mood of Swaying Bear is already good.
