Both me and Leafy have already crossed the small canal that surrounds our little nest

and got ready to welcome our uninvited guests.

The canal is just a countermeasure against surprise attacks while we are sleeping.

It would be a completely different story if one of us had a ranged attack, but alas, we do not...

Looking at the direction of the sound, I can see two brown pillbugs rolling this way,

while a little further to the side, I can see another pillbug rolling in their direction.

It's a gray colored pillbug, the same color as me.

Huh? Now that I think about it, this is the first time I see another gray one just like me...

I always wondered why I never saw them around,

but eventually come to conclusion that they just evolve the moment they could.

Then, is that one below LV5 ?

Well, whatever the case may be, it would be great if he was neutral and was willing to join our party, but...

By the looks of it, he is together with those brown ones, unfortunately...

When they met, they just stood there for a few seconds and then resumed rolling this way.

Yeah, no doubt about it, those three are in a party. But the most surprising thing is that the grey one took the charge...

Eh? Don't tell me that that pipsqueak is their leader ?!

That's... really surprising...

Both me and Leafy already took a stance and are waiting to see what they are going to do...

We are ready for anything and everything...

.....

...

.

When they got about 10 meters close to us, the grey one stopped rolling

while the other two continued rolling toward us at full speed.

[Bash] attack, huh...

Since we already trained against this attack, we easily avoided them and started running at full speed toward the gray one.

Brown ones didn't expect to be so easily avoided and without being able to do anything, they had fallen into the canal.

While the canal isn't particularly deep, it should slow them down a little, at least until we deal with this gray one.

Both of us attacked the gray pillbug before he could even start rolling away and while I was at it,

I also used [Status Check] to see his status...

Name: none

Race: World Isopoda

Status: normal

Attribute: none

LV: 14/~

EXP: 225

Eh? He is nearly as strong as I was a few days ago based on his stats, but his skills are...

Aren't they a little bit too low ?

While his [Rolling] skill is good at LV3, his [Scythes] are also at LV2 which is not bad, but...

That's all he has... He doesn't have neither [Digging] nor [Bash] skills, not even [Physical resistance]...

Other than his high level, he is weak...

Yet still, for some reason, he looks so confident like we are the weak ones here... Why ?

Well, no matter. That overconfidence is going to be your downfall.

It's been about 4-5 seconds since we engaged in combat with this gray one and he easily repealed all of our attacks.

But well, we are attacking him so halfassedly on purpose.

And just 2 seconds later, he completely let his guard down when he spotted the other two climbing out of the canal.

Too soon, just too soon. We didn't let this chance slide and started attacking him seriously...

Both of us pushed his scythes to the side and before he could even react, we pierced his head with our free scythes.

[Status: Bleeding]

[HP: 8/19]

A direct hit, we completely destroyed his eyes.

This one is done for...

Getting our scythes out before they get stuck,

we turned around and started running toward those brown ones that just got out of the canal and started to roll.

The gray one is screaming [QqsSss!!!] behind us while slashing with his scythes all over the place.

While Leafy also started to roll toward the brown pillbug that is in front of him, probably for a [Bash],

I stopped moving to [Status Check] those two.

Tch, these guys are gonna be a big problem.

While their race has weak attacks and are slow, their defense is top notch.

I planned to end this as fast as possible, but looks like I need to throw that out of the window...

No matter, even if we get hurt a little, our life won't be in danger unless we are really careless.

So why don't we farm those guys for EXP, huh ?

With the death of that gray one, Leafy will probably reach the level cap.

Looks like we won't be going on a hunt until he evolve, huh...

Anyway, let's finish those guys off first, it's bad to count chickens before they hatch...

Before I realized it, Leafy had used [Bash] attack against that LV 7 brown pillbug that was also rolling towards him.

When they collide, probably because Leafy was stronger and faster,

he pushed that brown one back into the canal, but he also fallen down with him.

Good, like this we can both have a one vs. one match...

As I was thinking about such stupid things, that LV 8 one also attacked me with [Bash] attack.

Of course, I easily avoided him by jumping to the side...

While at the beginning, when I just hatched, I was literally walking by instinct since I was not used to this kind of body.

However, by now I'm completely comfortable having 4 pairs of legs.

Thanks to that, I can jump left or right really fast, easily avoiding anyone who tries to collide with me.

Unfortunately, my enemy doesn't give up so easily and is still trying to run over me....

[112 experience points were obtained]

[The level of [World Isopoda] raised from 16 to 20]

Hoh... Looks like the grey one kicked the bucket...

Hmmm, looks like my hypothesis is correct. I only get 112 EXP, about half of the gray pill bugs total amount.

The other half has probably gone to Leafy.

Shared EXP huh...

This is probably one of the party features that I was wondering if they existed in this world.

Hahaha, with this, we could even do power leveling...

That's reassuring, but first we need to confirm if the EXP is always share between us

or only if both of us inflicted some damage to the enemy...

Well, I'll think about that later, but right now looks like my enemy is running out of stamina.

I could have tried stopping his rolling, but that would probably be idiotic, his shell is too tough.

And since I could evade him like this all day, I just had to wait until he gets tired or give up

and then finish him off with my scythes.

[Normal skill [Evasion:Lv1] acquired]

Ohohoho, this looks good.

Well, let's finish this off...

The moment brown one stopped rolling, I attacked him with my scythes without mercy.

His shell is tough, but his head and stomach are his weak points.

Not to mention, If I really try, I could even cut off his limbs to prevent him from moving.

And just like that, I keep chipping brown ones HP with constant attacks until it reaches zero.

[146 experience points were obtained]

[The level of [World Isopoda] raised from 20 to 25]

[Skill proficiency reached [Scythes:Lv4] becomes [Scythes:Lv5]]

[Normal skill [Accuracy:Lv1] acquired]

Haaa, I didn't think that it would be so onesided, but looks like that's how it ended up...

Let's see... [HP: 19/30] huh...

He barely did any damage to me, like 2-3 HP at best...

Anyway, maybe training is good in raising skill levels, but killing things is still better and more satisfying.

Not to mention, you'll get food at the end... Haa, now I'm hungry...

But I'm already sick of these tasteless bugs...

Now then, let's check how Leafy is doing.

I look into the canal and watch Leafy's battle.

Looks like they are about evenly matched if you don't count Leafys speed.

That brown one is constantly trying to run away, but Leafy isn't giving him any chances.

Looks like the training did wonders to Leafy, while that brown one is spontaneously just swinging his scythes around,

Leafy is calmly countering his attacks and slicing at his head.

I wonder how can that brown pill bug even see with its head in such condition...

Oh? He suddenly fallen down...

Looks like that's the end of this battle.

And since I didn't get any EXP, looks like I need to inflict at least some damage to get it...

It's also possible that I get a percent of EXP based on how much damage did I inflict...

Hmmm, this needs further testing...

Anyway, that blazing sun is already starting to go down and we still need to clean this mess...

Let's start immediately before it turn dark. Because it's looks like this planet doesn't have something like a moon,

it's complete darkness during the night...

Tomorrow is gonna be interesting...
