<h4>Chapter 78.2: New Power, And Transformation</h4>


    The 《Ether Missile》 headed toward the Orc as soon as Tama ordered so.


    Maybe it was instinct, but the Orc couldn’t see the iing missile and yet it leaped to the side.


    But that was futile.


    The 《Aether Missile》 changed its trajectory, following the Orc.


    「「Uhn?!」」


    Both Tama and Ste held their breaths in surprise.


    Never in their wildest imaginations did they consider that a fired skill would follow the movement of its target.


    『BUGIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!』


    The Orc’s scream resounded in thebyrinth.


    Different from the exploding 《me Missile》, the 《Aether Missile》 shredded the Orc’s body with a sharp vacuum de.


    The body was literally shredded in the most gruesome manner.


    「I-It’s already scary enough with just its “chasing after the target” perk, and yet to think that even its power… Just how powerful have you be, Tama?!」


    ――Honestly, even I have no idea, but there are still two new skills. I came to this ce to test them.


    「WHA!?」


    There was still another skill…


    Ste was speechless.


    And then another Orc, having heard the sounds of battle, appeared in front of Tama and Ste.


    There were two of them.


    (Oh, those kind souls just offered themselves to be guinea pigs of the other two 《Elemental Bullet》…）


    Tama took a deep breath.


    And, just like that, he invoked the other skill.


    「NYAN! (《Water Missile》!)」


    The skill shone a pale blue color and flew toward the Orc on the right.


    「?! The orc… It’s trapped in a water sphere!!! 」


    Ste was even more excited than before.


    The 《Water Missile》 exploded upon impact, generating an unbelievable amount of water.


    The water formed a sphere, trapping the entire Orc’s body in it from head to toe.


    The Orc writhed in agony inside the water prison until it eventually choked to death.


    At the very same moment, the water prison vanished without a trace.


    (What a terrifying skill. I can just kill almost all kinds of living enemies by choking them to death. Well, there’s surely some kind of calm andposed opponent out there who would be able to counter this attack with some skill, though…）


    This skill was fairly simplepared to the previous two skills, but just as terrifying.


    Meanwhile, the other Orc realized that they targeted the wrong opponent the moment itsrade perished.


    Thus, the remaining Orc turned around and immediately tried to escape.


    『B-Buhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!』


    「AH! That Orc is running away!」


    Ste screamed as she pointed her finger toward the Orc.


    「NYAAA!（《Rock Missile》）!」


    (You think I’m gonna let you off that easily?)


    Looking at the escaping Orc with cold eyes, Tama fired thest 《Elemental Bullet》, 《Rock Missile》.


    The color of thest missile was dark grey, with a sharp helix shape. The 《Rock Missile》 went after its target while rotating at high speed.


    GYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII――!


    The 《Rock Missile》struck right in the middle of the Orc’s back. The helix de, rotating at high speeds, drilled through the orc’s back.


    『GUGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?』


    The Orc screamed in pain, falling forward as a huge mass of blood gushed out of its body. Itsst expression was one of despair along with tears of blood.


    DOSHA!


    「That’s… Truly a nasty skill…」


    ――Yup… It’s a really powerful one, though…


    Both Tama and Ste were speechless from that gory scene unsuitable for young audiences.


    But he was right to call it a powerful skill.


    Since this skill could easily drill through the Orc’s hard skin, it might be a suitable skill against a Golem.


    ――Yup. Now that we have tested all these new skills, it’s time to go home, Ste. The evolution one is rather worrying, but it’s not like I can test that particr choice.


    「Evo-…-Lu-…-Tion? Tama… Did you just say evolution?」


    ――…? Yeah, something along the lines of “Behemoth 3rd Form”. The one you saw when I fought you to the deathst time was the 2nd form. Think of the 3rd one as a stronger version of that.


    「Evolution means… You be even bigger than your current form… The reason you can’t copte is that you’re still in your infant form, but if you evolve… You’re basically turned into an adult.」


    ――O-Oi, Ste. What in the hell is-…


    Tama retreated immediately as soon as he heard Ste’s voice, which caused chills to run along his spine.


    Ste suddenly started screaming at the top of her lungs.


    「TAMA! EVOLVE RIGHT NOW AND 〝IMPREGNATE? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!」


    「NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! (POLICE! HELP! THERE’S A PERVEEEEEEERT!!!)」


    Tama narrowly escaped from Ste, who chased after him with rough breaths.
