The Expelled Bottom-tier Job [Thief] Excels with Gaming Knowledge. Even the Teacher Summoned Together Had an Unconventional Job, but They Both Efficiently Rise to the Top - Chapter 37.2

Amber, The Magician Of The Ancient Castle 1

She’s using that skill here, huh?

She’s still underestimating us.

Even with more effective skills at her disposal, does she still belittle us?

Well, we’ll just have to defeat her.

I evade one attack after another, dodging with precision.

“Aaaargh!”

Holy Knight Chrom lets out a battle cry, charging at Amber from a blind spot.

“How uncouth and uninspired.”

Mocking, Amber dodges Chrom’s charge by floating in the air. In the meantime, Hunter Isaac and Magic Swordsman Quentin launch mid-range attacks.

“It’s coming together! It’s coming together smoothly, very much so! Have you defeated a lot with this? You seem quite confident!”

Amber laughs gleefully. “What a good party!”

With a light swing of her staff, she activates the defensive skill [Decoy]. Multiple spheres move randomly, luring the attackers.

The attacks from Isaac and Quentin hit the spheres, disappearing upon impact.

“Coordinated attacks…”

“What was that just now?”

As expected.

Or more like I expected it, but because Amber’s movements are sluggish, she has learned defensive skills and titles.

She’s not a rear guard with overwhelming firepower alone.

Floating in the air makes it unlikely for Chrom’s body blow [Shield Bash] to hit, and the attacks from Isaac and Quentin, even from superior opponents, don’t hit Amber, who handles offense and defense perfectly.

…In that case, Plan B.

Signaling, each of us confirms and begins the next move.

Ao-chan’s [Dark Magic] activates, hitting Amber.

“Something like this is meaningless if the attack doesn’t land.”

“…It hits.”

In that opening, I use a thread for high-speed movement.

Amber, who was distracted by Aoi-chan, couldn’t see me.

Having the ability to act so agilely with the thread was probably unexpected.

I successfully took her by surprise.

<Dealt 4 damage to Amber>

<Amber get Bleed>

<Amber takes 10 damage from bleeding>

“Huh?”

She finally noticed me.

However, there isn’t much Amber can do at such a close range where the two swords hit.

“With that level of attack—”

The staff turns into butterflies, and immediately, a sword made of magic appears in Amber’s hand.

There’s a level difference of 30.

Even though it’s not my forte, there shouldn’t be any attacks that hit.

She swings the magic sword.

But Amber can’t predict the irregular movements of my thread, easily avoiding the attack.

I dart around, stacking hits with the Poison Dagger and Thorn swords.

<Dealt 5 damage to Amber>

<Amber takes 12 damage from bleeding>

<Amber gets Poison>

<Amber takes 12 damage from Poison>

“Bothersome!”

Amber’s beautiful face contorted with displeasure.

This time, because she got distracted by my aerial movements, attacks from Isaac and Quentin landed.

Further reducing her HP, Amber, irritated, stops floating and puts her feet on the floor.

“If I weren’t floating—”

Chrom charges at Amber again.

Holding a seemingly heavy shield and gripping the ancestral longsword I gave him in the other hand.

Now holding the staff, Amber uses a different skill.

“Are you a heavy-armored knight? In consideration of your bravery, I’ll let you take just one hit.”

“Don’t underestimate me!”

It’s clear now.

Chrom’s physical attack power is low.

He slashes Amber with the longsword, but she doesn’t flinch.

At that moment, countless sharp, thorn-like rocks rise from the entire hall.

That’s the area attack skill [Grand Upper].

Ao-chan is in danger.

“Hold on—!”

I use the thread to fly, leaving the spot, and Ao-chan, who sensed it, reaches out.

Grabbing her firmly, we temporarily retreat to the wall.

With a tremendous tremor and noise, we can’t hear our comrades’ voices. Worried about Chrom and the others, we hear their voices when the attack stops.

“It’s a wide-range attack skill, despite its flashy appearance, doesn’t seem that powerful, huh?”

White mage Wendy uses a magic defense skill.

It protects allies within a certain range, and although she took some damage, it didn’t prove fatal.

“That hurt… If it weren’t for Wendy, I would’ve died.”

“I love you, Wendy.”

“I can say Wendy is the MVP.”

“You’re annoying.”

Despite her words, Wendy looked somewhat pleased.

For a moment, frustration flashed across Amber’s face, who had been acting arrogantly.
