Chapter 631. Stealing Spotlight
"Have I said anything wrong?" Myne asked Amy, scratching his head in confusion.
"Can't you see he was trying to behave well because of Ocea? He's probably jealous, thinking she might become your favourite," Amy explained with a helpless sigh. She was genuinely worried about Myne's low emotional intelligence. It was still hard for her to understand how a person like him could seduce so many women.
"I see, but good for him. At least he'll pretend to be a good boy for the next few days, and make less trouble... By the way, why are you two just standing here? Go and fight! Weren't you insisting on exploring the dungeon at moment ago?" Myne, who had been casually observing, suddenly changed his expression, scolding Amy and Ocea off.
As always, Amy took advantage of the huge amount of mana provided by her elven bloodline and started using Unique Magic: Tree without worrying about consumption.
Perhaps because they were inside a tree or the World Tree was providing Amy with a power buff, Myne, watching giant tree roots coming out from the ground like tentacles and measuring Mandragoras like ants, felt that she was now twice as powerful as usual.
Ocea, on the other hand, out of Myne's expectations, wasn't a noob like Waffle. Cetus wasn't exaggerating when she said that Ocea could fight well and could take care of herself. The various types of water magic spells she showed left Myne dumbfounded.
Especially when she used "Water Jet," a stream of water erupting from her mouth like a laser, slicing seven Mandragora in half. It reinforced Myne's suspicion that Waffle might not be Fenrir's biological son. Despite their physical resemblance and Waffle's possession of weaker versions of Fenrir's skills, he lacked the innate talent that Ocea possessed or a divine beast's descendant should have.
"As expected, daughters are more adorable and hardworking than sons," Myne remarked, giving Ocea a thumbs-up in approval, who was looking at him expectantly, seemingly seeking his praise.
Encouraged by Myne's positive feedback, Ocea became even more determined to clear the Mandragora. She took a deep breath, her stomach retracting slightly, then unleashed a massive torrent of water from her mouth, like a dam bursting. The force of the water blast sent the Mandragora flying everywhere.
"Did I have a hidden talent for motivating people to this extent?" Myne wondered, avoiding the spray of water and observing the scene with a thoughtful expression.
Opposite to his nonsensical thoughts, Amy and Waffle, however, were stunned by Ocea's display of power. They couldn't comprehend how such a small creature could unleash such a formidable attack. But compared to Amy's serious shock, Waffle, whose IQ was questionable at best, was trying to figure out how she stored so much water in her tiny stomach.
Despite his bewilderment, Waffle didn't stand idly by for too long. Fearing that Ocea might overshadow him, he joined the fray, attacking Mandragoras who were trying to get back on their feet or crawling in the water.
"Myne! Behind you!"
Just when Myne was wondering whether he should take out his chair and some snacks to watch them fight while fully enjoying the show, Amy's warning startled him.
He first looked at her and saw she had a horrified expression, then without thinking, he ducked forward to create some distance before looking back, only to find a large group of crayfish-like creatures, about a meter in size, with brownish bodies like tree trunks, hurling their scissor-like claws towards him. Their small black eyes stared at him as if he were already a dead man, not taking him seriously at all.
The leading crayfish's big scissors slipped through his body and pierced the ground, making a bang sound. Clearly, their power was not weak.
"Where did those weird creatures in such a large group come from?" Myne looked behind the group of crayfish to where he and the others had come from and was dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that there wasn't even a single hole in the entire passage, so where had so many big guys come from?
CLANG!
"F*ck, so hard. How can their claws be so hard? And why are they so smart that not only do they know how to work in groups, but were also using their brains to fight? Sigh, as expected of a high-level dungeon. Nothing here is simple. If the monsters at the beginning of the dungeon are so smart and powerful, God knows what kind of guy could be the final boss of this type of dungeon," Myne complained, seeing that his wind blade was easily blocked by the leader crayfish, who now gave him a not-so-friendly glare.

"A Crustacean... it's the first time seeing such a strange species, which seems to have characteristics of both earth and water-type creatures," Myne pondered, rubbing his chin.
[ Support Magic・Direct Hit: Raises the hit ratio of the enemy or surrounding chosen people's attacks. Once used, it needs a cooldown time of 3 minutes.]
"Eh? Isn't this useless? Who in their right mind would even want to increase the enemy's hit rate? Isn't it the same as asking for death...? Wait a minute... Ahh... So it is like this, such an idiot I am! So it turns out this skill is for my allies, not enemies. Damn you, appraisal, almost managed to fool me!" Myne cursed, patting his forehead and letting out a chuckle.
Thinking this, Myne confirmed that the crayfish-like creatures weren't in a hurry to take action. He looked at the battlefield to find a test subject and saw Waffle, like a madman, showing off fire bullets on Mandragoras. Those poor souls were like ants on a frying pan, running around in fear, screaming and scouting, but were helpless against a flying opponent, and could only let him toy with their lives.
Nodding proudly at Waffle, who had grown quite a bit under his care, Myne quickly cast Support Magic・Direct Hit on him. Visibly, where the first eight out of ten of Waffle's fire bullets missed and only harmed the ground, only two hit the targets, now under the blessing of the skill, the ratio turned into five out of ten. This might not seem much more useful on such a small-scale area attack, but if it were cast by someone of Fenrir's level and she released her ultimate attack, then it would be a miracle if her enemy didn't curse Myne's entire family until his last breath.
"Myne, what have you done?" Waffle asked confusedly, feeling that he suddenly had a surprising level of control over his magic attack, was able to control many of the fire bullets just by thought after shooting them out. Unlike previously, he had just randomly shot out fire bullets nonstop with literally no control, only hoping to deal with enemies with quantity.
"Nothing, just testing my new skill. I will tell you details later," Myne, who was in a good mood, ignored Waffle, who was giving him an annoying glare and turned back to the bastards who tried to sneak attack him.
"Thank you for reminding me, Amy," He turned to Amy, who had rushed beside him to provide support, and thanked her with a smile while patting on her silver hair.
Amy, unlike him, was in a completely serious state and had no intention of chatting, she didn't even look at him who was messing with her hair. She just nodded and waved her hand, summoning five 10-meter giant roots: five from under the ground in the middle of the Crayfish group and the remaining one from the passage behind them so they couldn't escape.
What type of people you are surrounded by indeed affects a person's behaviour very deeply, Myne looked at Amy, who seemed angry because he was in danger and was now venting her anger.@@novelbin@@
He literally saw shadows of Aisha and Sylphy in her. They were also so protective towards him, especially the former, who had started giving him his mother's vibe, which to tell the truth a bit worrying. If not for the fact that he f*cked her every night, before going to bed, confirming that she was indeed his wife, and she not easily beat him, he almost thought his mother had returned in her younger form.
While Myne was lost in thought, Waffle and Ocea soon dealt with all the Mandragora and quickly came to support Amy. And under the crazy attacks of the trio, the Crayfish group, who God knows where they came from, was also sent to the west to accomplish their allies.
