Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 25.2

It must be that party… What on earth is Pochi thinking?

Since I’ve gotten quite close, I’ll use [Shadow Step] to move forward. By the way, when I use the skill [Shadow Step], Pochi is automatically drawn into the shadow.

What I found there was—suddenly, a wide space appeared from the cave’s width of about five meters.

Could this be the boss floor!?

Pochi… did he know that if he moved away from that party, the stairs to the second floor would get farther away!?

I’ll verify that later, but the problem is the party.

It seems to be a weaker party than I thought, struggling against the boss-class demon beast on this floor.

“Huff… huff… Damn it! Chester, let’s go!”

“Got it! Arche, Mint, hurry up!”

“We got it!”

The boss-class demon beast on the first floor is similar to the degraded Minotaur, but it’s all red and a size bigger. Furthermore, its power and speed are stronger than the regular species, showing even more agility than it looks.

Swinging a big axe, a man named Chester receives it with a large shield.

Clang! A satisfying metallic sound resounds, and Chester is blown away.

“Chester!”

“Cress! Just a little more!”

“[Slash Burst]!”

Cress, who lit a fierce aura on his sword, strikes the red Minotaur fiercely.

With a loud explosion, a strong gust of wind spreads around.

I see. An advanced profession [Sword Master]. I can understand why they’re struggling.

The other members must have similar rank professions.

“Graaaah!”

Even when attacked, the thick arm of the red Minotaur doesn’t flinch and it slams Cress, blowing him away.

“Cress!”

It was Mint who was chanting the spell, but she hadn’t finished casting it yet and couldn’t unleash the magic.

Being a magic user, this is where it’s inconvenient. When you become the highest job class, a Sage, you can cast advanced magic without an incantation, making you strong. However, for lower classes, the incantation takes time.

However, once you manage to cast it, it becomes a powerful blow, so there are many merits. If they coordinate well, they can maximize its effectiveness… but this time, the opponent was tough.

The target of the red Minotaur turned to Mint.

As the red Minotaur charged straight ahead, another female member, Arche, fought back with daggers in both hands. However, she couldn’t stop the movement of the red Minotaur.

“Skill [Provocation]!”

From afar, a red aura enveloped the red Minotaur. However, the Minotaur’s gaze and movement continued straight toward Mint without stopping.

Since Minotaurs are physical types, especially at the boss level, they have taunt resistance. They must have done it knowing that, but it’s too late to run now.

“Mint!”

“I-I haven’t finished the incantation yet…”

It’s too late to give up the incantation and run away. It doesn’t seem like she, a magic user, can endure a blow from the red Minotaur.

…

…

Sigh. Can’t be helped. I don’t want to get involved with people too much, but it’ll leave a bad taste in my mouth if she dies in front of me.
