VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Chapter 23 Tough Fight

Yet another group of Red Caps appeared, but this time there were magic users present, along with a boss-like figure—a giant Red Cap. It was as tall as an orc, standing twice Liora's height.

I had read that Red Caps were supposed to be small... Well, we have no choice but to fight.

As usual, Samurai initiated with a tentacle attack. In response, the Big Cap slammed its axe down, cutting the tentacle in half and spraying blood.

'――Mu'

Samurai, looking irritated, sent her left-hand tentacle towards the Big Cap.

"[Gift of Venom]! Liora!"

"[Deathly Slash]!"

Using the platform I created with [Darkness Creation], Liora quickly positioned herself above the Big Cap. She imbued her blade with a dense aura of death and swung it in a bisecting arc.

At that moment, a magic spell from a Red Cap mage exploded, striking the unguarded Liora directly and sending her frail body flying. The Big Cap, now free from paralysis, stepped forward, causing cracks to spread across the ground.

'――!'

Samurai tried to bind it with her tentacles again, but the Big Cap tore through them and slammed its axe into the airborne Liora. A thunderous crash followed. I hurriedly created a [Darkness Creation] shield, but it wasn't enough. The shield shattered, and the axe struck Liora's abdomen directly.

"――Gah"

Her abdomen was deeply cut, and she hit the ground with her back. Despite spewing blood, Liora quickly stood up and dodged the next strike. Red Caps and magic users charged at the retreating Liora.

The Big Cap was still attacking Samurai, who was now slammed against the wall. It swung its axe at her again and again, aiming for a home run strike to the abdomen. With her high HP and Regen, Samurai should be able to hold out for a minute.

"I'll support you, Liora. [Dark Ball]!"

"Please heal me."

I fired off five [Dark Ball] spells. The dark balls, with their speed minimized, floated slowly in the air, perfect for creating a barrier.

Liora held her abdomen, trying to control her rough breathing. Her HP was already 90% restored.

"We underestimated them, didn't we?"

"I-I'm sorry, God!"

Hearing the victory announcement, we finally relaxed.

Looking down, we saw a drop item. It was a long, long—staff.

"A rare drop, but it is a... magic item?"

"What a shame."

"Nonetheless, it's a victory, Liora!"

"Yes!" Liora raised her scythe high and cheered, matching my vibe.

She passed the vibe check.
