Huge Holy 4 (Patreon)

4 - Isn’t this too big (the power)...

RAW

The next day, I start with the usual routine.
Delivery work in the early morning.
After a late breakfast is [Ditch Cleaning] and then set up additional gondolas and trolleys at the construction site.
Delivery of medicines to the hospital.

After finishing that, finally, I accepted the subjugation quest.
The receptionist replied, “You're the magician who can't attack, right? You... Ah, did you finally get [Holy]?” with an exasperation.
There's no way I wouldn't be angry, but first of all, I have to experiment with [Holy] and earn experience points by entering the E-rank and D-rank dungeons.

Dungeon.
I have no idea what the logic is, but there are dungeons scattered around the world where monsters spring up and items appear, as is common in video games.
If left unchecked, monsters will overflow from the dungeon and roam outside, so it is the duty of the adventurers to patrol the area regularly.

Now then.

In the world I was in, [Holy] would have the image of being the most powerful light magic.
However, in this different world, if the magic attack stat isn't high, it won't reach the level of the ideal [Holy] of the world I was in.

My current status is――

Compared to the abundance of my magic variations, my stats are rubbish crap, but that can't be helped.
Stats increase with the Job level.
Job level goes up from the experience points gained by defeating monsters.
In other words, I beat slimes, horn rabbits, and goblins with a cane, and finally reached this level.
For a time, I was ridiculed as a [Bludgeoning Magician]... I quit because my cane broke though.

As soon as I enter an E-rank dungeon, a liquid monster, a slime, appears.

“Yosh, first of all…”

Let's start by trying [Holy Ball].
Slimes move slowly, so even an amateur in attack magic should be able to hit them.

――Ssshhh

When I hit it, the slime evaporated though…
My opponent was useless. It's just a slime after all.
Next is Poison Frog. It's a medium-sized poisonous frog. It attacks by spewing out poisonous liquid.

――Ssshhh

No, there’s not even ashes left behind though.

“Gigii!”

Goblin.
Oops, these guys have high intellect and act in groups.
It's famous for baptizing new adventurers.
When I sent a [Familiar] with [Scan] to scout, as expected, there was a goblin hiding.

[Familiar], [Holy], [Scan], and acceleration magic [Quick] combined into a homing Holy bullet.
Although it eats a little magical power, it is difficult to evade an attack accelerated by [Quick] even with the agility of a Horn Rabbit.
This will surely bring it down…

Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!

Oi!? Isn’t this as powerful as a small bomb!!!

“What the hell does this mean!? My calculation is wrong...!??”

This is bad this is bad this is bad!
What’s bad you say?… sure enough, the goblins are all dead, leaving not even ashes behind, and my Job level has gone up.
I knew it, there are no subjugation parts left behind! This makes no sense!!
Even if I accumulate experience points, I can't accumulate guild achievements!

Wait wait wait!

I tried to do the math again.

“Nn?”

I heard some disturbing footsteps, so I sent the [Familiar] to scout.
There was a D-rank monster, an orc, in the depth. Normally there shouldn't be any. No, occasionally a monster with a slightly higher rank will spawn.

Leaving it alone is bad.
There's no way a novice adventurer can deal with orcs. I'll report it to the guild just in case…
I accelerate the powerful water bullet [Holy Charon] with [Quick] to increase its collision power and shoot it in the direction of the orc.

“O”

Crack crack crack!

...How should I put it? It’s that. I can hear the sound of whole body bone fractures and organ ruptures due to the power of the water bullet.
Shortly after, Holy's characteristic flashy white explosion occurred.
The place where the orc was in was caved in as if a meteorite had hit it.

“Wait, the subjugation part!”

There aren't even any orc corpses left!!?

――――

(T/N: the number before the chapter title isn’t there in the raw, I added it to make it easier for myself.)
