We made our way towards the quarry to take down the Cyclops .
Since the quarry was basically the whole side of a mountain, over time miners had cut out the large step-like structure into the rocky side .
We spotted the quarry long before we arrive . Our target was quite large, so-
â-so, thatâs a Cyclops...â
The Cyclops was about four meters tall, more or less man-shaped with one eye, and was stomping about the quarry as though he owned the place .
âAs usual, big as heck . â was Dora-chanâs remark as he studied the Cyclops .
âHeâs big but heâs slow, no match for us . Letâs take him down quickly, Dora, Sui!â
âAh, please wait a minute!â
Fer, who was about to charge into the field stopped to give Mukouda a belligerent look . âNuu, what is it?â
Ahem, âIt turns out that a Cyclopsâ skin could be turned into valuable leather, so please try not to injure it too much when you subjugate it . â
Yoran-san was the one who told me this . The Cyclopsâ skin and eyeball were valuable material . Moreover, since it was an A Rank monster, it should have a magic stone inside . Yoran-san had specially said that the guild will be very grateful to purchase any materials we could extract from the Cyclops . â
âTake it down without too much damage... uuumu...â
âIf itâs too difficult, itâs alright . â
âOf course itâs not difficult . Alright, you want us to take it down without damaging it too much . Letâs do it!â
Ah, I might have ruffled his pride a bit . For Fer to loudly declare that heâs going to take down a huge creature without damaging it too much, I wonder what heâs going to do?
âDora, Sui, you heard him? Take down the Cyclops without damaging it too much . Letâs go!â
âAlrighty!â
âOkay!â
Fer took the lead and leapt forward with an almighty bound, followed by Dora and Sui,
Since I would just get in the way, I opted to observe the subjugation from afar . Right here, to be exact .
âRoooaaaarrrrr!!â
The Cyclops saw Fer and the rest rushing towards him and raised its thick legs to crush them underfoot .
ââBoom!
There was quite a significant pause before the foot actually landed with an earth-shattering sound .
...Yes, I see what they mean by this thing being slow .
Fer and Dora-chan called them idiots, I can sort of see why . With this sort of strength and speed, none of my familiars would get a single scratch on them .
âRoarrr!â Fer ran forward, gathering speed until he launched himself into the air with a roar . He landed on the Cyclopsâ arm and using it as a springboard, leapt onto the Cyclopsâ head .
Zzapppâ!
Powerful electricity bolted out from Ferâs front paw, zapping the Cyclops right in the brain . It had the same effect as taking hit via a really powerful stun gun to the head .
âRoooaaaaarr . . â
The Cyclops howled miserably as he fell to his knees .
Dora-chan took advantage of his small size and zipped over... to land just between the Cyclopsâ chest .
Dogonn â zzppp!
âYahoo! One powerful shock straight to the heart!â
D-dora-chan, did you just give a perfectly working heart a cardioversion shock...?
Thatâs quite a brutal attack .
âR...roa...â
The Cyclops leaned forward, both hands pressing against its heart gasping for breath .
âSui is next!â Sui chirped . From her extended slime tentacle, a single Acid Bullet attack was released .
Pew!
The high-velocity attack pierced through the Cyclops in the belly like a speeding bullet .
â...roa...â
Thud .
The Cyclops died on the way down, falling to the ground with a pathetic thud .
And that was how the Cyclops subjugation ended .
âUmu, itâs done . â Fer nodded to himself in a dignified way .
âHaha, woohoo! Our team just mows you down easy!â Dora-chan was zooming around, making victory loops .
âYay~ Hooray~â Even Sui-chan was bouncing around energetically .
Nevertheless, I could not help thinking that it was over way too quickly .
I had sort of prepared myself for it though .
After getting a shock to the brain and heart, then a final shot through the belly, anything would have died...
Though the attacks were rather spectacular, the way the Cyclops just fell over and die was a rather anti-climatic . However, considering the number of people who had been killed and eaten by this guy... Iâd say he probably deserved it .
I went over to where everyone was getting pumped up over another victory . âTo beat that monster so quickly, I guess I should have expected it of you guys . â
âTo us, that monster is nothing but a splinter on the road,â Fer said with a smug look on his face .
To compare an A Rank Cyclops to a splinter on the road... all the Adventurers who had shed blood and sweat to raise their ranks would probably cry if they ever heard this .
Well, to be fair, if Fer, Dora and Sui teamed up, they could probably take down a flying dragon without much problem .
Also, Fer had actually hunted down an Earth Dragon all by himself .
Elland-san, that dragon otaku told me that of the large flying dragon species, there exist the Red Dragon and Black Dragon types . Both were designated as S Rank monsters and were quite violent .
That said, this âWonder Teamâ could probably take them down easily . Anyway, there arenât that many dragons in the first place, so we probably wonât meet any .
Well, letâs take the Cyclops to the guild to be dismantled .
I walked over to inspect the body . Aside from the burnt mark on the head zapped by Ferâs Thunder Magic, and the small burnt mark on the chest from Dora-chanâs Thunder Magic . There was also the hole in the belly pierced by Sui . It was barely 2cm wide .
Aside from those injuries, there were barely any scratches on the skin .
Too amazing, it looked like I could keep my word with the guild . I placed the Cyclopsâ body into my [Item Box] for safekeeping and looked up at the sky . The sun was still shining brightly since it took them barely any time to subjugate the Cyclops .
âWhat do you want to do? Itâs still quite early, should we head back?â
âNo, letâs have lunch first . â
âMy tummy is rumbling . â
âSui is also hungry...â
Aah, itâs that time of the day after all .
Well, since itâs lunchtime, letâs have lunch... wait, all the pre-made food had been eaten, what should I do?
I looked through my [Item Box] and only found some cooked rice, and of course, the meat .
Rice, rice, rice, meat, meat, meat... ah! Letâs make that!
[Gumihou: ... shoot, Iâm hungry too!]
