3 Days after the shit fest of that stew marked the 5th day of the one month that we had to finish clearing the Luke Warm Dungeon.

We had wasted a 6th of our time just getting supplies ready.

Somewhere along the way the Trio had found sleeping bags for us so that we won’t freeze to death while sleeping.

Besides that Nona asked for Lotus to draw up some elementary healing scrolls, that we had a way to heal ourselves if we ever got separated or anything.

Elf bro pitied us a bit so he gave us a compass and map so we wouldn’t spend too much time getting lost looking for the dungeon.

Even though it’s not that far from the city, you have to pass the forest to get there, a compass is a must.

Thank god Kurara knows how to use it, because fuck me I don’t even remember if India was a continent or a state.

Alright, food, directions, sleeping supplies, emergency first aid kits scroll things, I wonder if we need anything else?

Hmmm… I’ll give it a few more days, we only need the last ten days since it’ll be a six day trip.

If we fuck up there won’t be a second chance, so might as well use all the time we have.

…

I gathered the party.

Sitting on the giant block of frozen stew, as if… no this is a throne, a throne built upon our blood sweat and tears, was me the leader of logistics.

Everyone else sat on the floor like plebs.

Leo looked up at me like in awe; Nona was just looking at Leo.

Yefim had his eyes closed like he was about to fall asleep; Yegor was just smiling; Kurara looked pissed off and stared at me with eyes of impatience as if asking me: “hurry fuck the up, and let’s go.”

Goddamn why does Kurara look like she want to bite my head off?

Oh yeah I yaked all over her the other day, I guess I would be pissed about that too.

Back to the main topic, I went over the all our supplies, I went over our battle tactics again: our normal formation for forging ahead though the mobs, and the defense oriented formation for BIG one and the boss.

“Now anything else you think we should concern ourselves with?

We have 25 days left for the month, and considering the amount of food I’m sitting on we can only make one 6 at worst 8 day journey.

At the very least I think we should leave at least 10 days before the month is up, so we have 15 days to make sure we don’t fuck this up.”

…

To be honest our party line up is pretty weak

We have 6 members:

Me: Elementary in all styles, damage output is mediocre, can make ice cubes, has a shitty rhythm game helps out in battle.

Leo: Intermediate Impact style, our biggest burst damage potential, his slash is at the level of advanced for some reason, but that’s good for us.

Has the most stamina and therefore, his output will be the greatest, both our formations revolve around him; basically our fire power would be too underwhelming to finish the dungeon without him.

Nona: Intermediate Suppression style, this world doesn’t really have a concept of defense but she would be the closest thing to a tank.

Suppression style focuses on taking away the exhausting the opponent and taking away their possibilities of winning by overwhelming them and destroying vital points of the body to weaken them.

Their forte is sustained combat, keeping the opponent occupied and waiting for them to lose their focus to end them.

That’s normally against other human and human like oppenents, so while suppression practitioners are popular in wars, they don’t have that many advantages against monsters, so this isn’t the area they shine best, as they can only focus on fending off the monsters advances.

That being said Nona is the second strongest among us and can still deal a high amount of damage.

Yefim: Focused on healing magic he’s our dedicated elementary healer, he can use other magic, but we can’t risk him running out of mana while some one is injured.

He’s still super-secret spy, but I doubt he would show his hand to us here, so I’m just going under the assumption that he’s can only use magic.

Yegor: he’s a buff ass mofo he’s like what 12? He’s as big as a grown teenager already, but he’s a labeled as an unspecialized elementary mage, so he can cast any elementary spell beside summoning or barriers.

He has a great sword too it’s about as big as him, very magician like; it should be fine to consider him an elementary impact user.

Also ditto for being super-spy.

Kurara: Is pretty adept at using magic, in the party she can cast the most fire balls at fired at the highest velocity.

Besides Leo she’s our biggest damage dealer, if both of them are out of the battle, then we will lose our victory condition.

Probably the most hot headed of the spies, she might spill her hand if anything.

Honestly our lineup is pretty lack luster, the boys have barely hit puberty, the girls have no tits, and everyone besides Yegor is pretty small.

Granted that we are much stronger than your average 8-13 year old, the fact that our bodies are small puts us at disadvantage to begin with, means we have to get closer to the enemy to hit them while they don’t.

Besides that I heard that Luke Warm Turtle is as big as a house and shoot high pressure water out of its mouth, how the fuck are we supposed to beat that thing?

What kind kick-your-cub-off-a-mountain Spartan training is this!?

Now that I think about isn’t our defense formation based on the idea that we can block that ranged beam of death?!

Oh fuck we’re screwed.

Since no one was talking I went into deep thought, and coming to that conclusion I went into a spasm fell off my throne.

“Oh fuck guys!

We’re screwed! The normal formation isn’t going to work, the turtle shoots pew pew lasers out of its mouth, I doubt our defense will hold it off.”

Everyone looks at me like an idiot for falling off the throne, but hey I got their attention right.

After a bit everyone give their ideas and we start to come up with something.

Leo smashed his fist into his other hand and gave his idea.

“Let’s circle around the thing and attack all at once, have Yefim and Yegor cast magic too, we’ll just take him down as soon as possible and win, offense is the best defense!

That’s a good plan right boss?”

Yeah no, being spread out means that the turtle can choose one of us and snipe them down, and they can do anything hold their dicks in their hands while they die.

I shot him down on the basis that someone is going to die, and that our firepower isn’t enough to burst it down in one combo.

He looked like he was about to burst into tears, don’t worry Leo life is all about rejection and resignation you’ll get used it and become a bum like me some day.

Yefim throw his pitch like he had the number to the lottery.

“We can just camp throw spells at it until it dies, changing our position after each cast, with enough time it’ll eventually die”

I shot him down too, maybe the plan would be viable if we had an intermediate mage, but if just keep on shooting pot shots at the guy, won’t he just run?

If he escapes then everything would be wasted, it’s not like we’re dealing with an enemy AI, we can’t just cheese the boss to death.

If it sees that it has no way to hit its target and that the enemy is slowly bleeding it to death It’d just run, I would.

Our main source of power comes from Leo monstrous strength while he may not be as strong as ten fire balls shot by Kurara, he’s has our high burst potential to bring the battle to a decisive end.

He looked peeved, but accepted my reasoning, haha fucker not as smart as you thought you were huh?

Am I seriously getting excited over beating a 13 year old at logic?

Oh how the mighty have fallen, not that I was ever mighty to begin with.

Fuck, this is hard dood.

Finally Kurara spewed some rags of thouhgts out of her violent mouth.

“If it just shoots water out of its mouth, we just have to not get hit right?”

Holy fuck even an idiot can have good ideas.

Based off what Kurara said we made some hit and run tactics, where Leo would spear head a charge while Nona would decoy in a different direction so that we could get Leo out and start another charge.

Tactics are like water they must be flowing to adapt to the situation, if one uses the same tactics for all enemy’s they will only get dick in the face.

Hell yeah, I’m basically Sun Tzu sans the dick in the face.

I’m awesome gahahahaha.

Needless to say, we spent the next 15 day training our mobility and coordination.

Many trees were destroyed in the process of our training I hope the Sierra Club doesn’t come and hunt my ass down all the way from Earth.
