And here's our destination . A slightly large room . Protruded rocks scattered here and there, with around 10 Lostshrooms enshrined within the room . Yep, they're not walking around . Wonder what this means? However, this is just convenient for roasting them . My remaining MP is about half after several battles with intermittent rests . Tama-chan's and my HP are at max . I carefully get closer to them until I'm within the range .
And activate! The last ranged magic for today!!
"Fire Storm!"
Bwoosh, blazing flames swallow the Lostshrooms again into a whirlpool . Burn, buuurn . After confirming that they've turned into cinders, I undo the magic and approach them to check out the drop items .
Huh?
Usually the bodies disappear into light particles and leave drop items behind, but one of them isn't this time?
ZUO!
A purple-like thing spread out of the blackened lump that should have been burned down and then I got blown away .
Owowow . What just happened? I was completely caught off guard . It fortunately hit my breastplate and didn't give that much damage .
The black part of the Lostshroom that should have been scorched cracks, I can see something purple underneath . The crack gradually spreads to its entire body, and fall off, eventually a purple Lostshroom that's one size smaller is looking at me . Not like it has eyes though .
D Lostshroom Lv11 HP:30/45 MP:6/12 Mutated form of the dungeon-born walking type fungi class Lostshroom . An evolution of a specimen that had a certain amount of mana and underwent a period of blank mind . It is capable of cutting off its weakness, fire element, by sacrificing its outer skin . It also has more attack variety, a completely improved version of the species .
What's with the D? The D Lostshroom launched its attack while I was thinking that . Hold on, it's already within attacking range even though I put a distance when I got blown away!?
ZUO, its arms lengthen out to attack me . Wait, it can stretch both its arms . How bothersome, that'll make it hard to grasp the timing . Is the D from a certain traveling Indian fighter or something? It's not going to teleport now, is it??
Wait, there's no room to think about stupid things . It's surprisingly fast, it's hard to charge in . I grasp the timing to attack back while parrying with Defense Form . 1, 2, and 3, now!
WOSH
Eh? My timing should have been perfect . . . or rather, the D Lostshroom who was right in front of me disappeared!? Where'd it go . . . Eh, behind me?
BUFOAAAAAAAAA
Right when I tried to get away, something that seemed to be mist attacked me from behind . Damn, I couldn't make it in time even though Tama-chan went and informed me . It's sticky and smells bad . I quickly chanted Dry and made it evaporate .
However, how did it even manage to get behind me? Can it be, can it really teleport . . . .
I got the answer soon after .
BUO
I parried the stretched arm and took some distance away this time . Then, the D Lostshroom's stretched arm caught a rock behind me, and then it moved its entire body to where the rock was when it restored its arm . What a brute force way .
Then how about I take some distance and shoot it with fire . I shot four fire arrows in succession and only one hit . Moreover, the part where that one arrow hit turned black and scrapped off, not giving it much damage . What an exceedingly annoying evolution . Huff, puff . What's this, I'm losing breath . Pretty sure I didn't move that much though .
BUO
Kuh, it's not giving me times to ponder huh . And then my eyes got blurry . Why now of all time .
My movements obviously became duller afterward . What the heck is this . I quickly check my status, just the summary's fine .
Name: Nobusada Izumi - Gender: Male - Race: General Human? State: Lethargic Poison
Poison! That mist earlier was a poison mist huh . This is the first I've heard Lethargic Poison, but it probably a poison that slows you down . That's one troublesome poison .
"Cure Poi . . . "
BUOU
CLANG
The D Lostshroom launched fierce attacks, not allowing me to use detox magic . Worst of all, my iron sword was flung far away . Damn it, I've got no choice but to ask for it, though I'm uneasy about it .
--Tama-chan, help . keep it away from me just for a little bit .
After I sent the SOS signal to Tama-chan who was hiding behind a rock, a small green mass stood before a queer creature . I'm sorry, I'll cure myself quick, so bear with it . . .
"Cure Poison . "
I erase the poison and also heal myself in a hurry . This is bad, Tama-chan's HP is decreasing fast . I can't exactly run out and grab the iron sword now . That said, Tama-chan might get dragged into it if I used magic . There's no time to open my rucksack either .

The offenses and defenses continue, but she's obviously at a disadvantage .
--Tama-chan, it's fine already, get back!
When I told her that, Tama-chan received a blow from the D Lostshroom and got flung in the air . Tamachaaaaan!
"The hell you done to our kid, you shitty piece of funguuuuuuuuuuuuuus"
I'm, enraged . Can't control my emotion . I'm gonna beat you to a pulp now .
I rush toward the D Lostshroom that has stiffened for an instant after hitting Tama-chan . It didn't really go well during practices, but I've got no choice here . I'll make use of the chance Tama-chan gave and finish this thing off!
I concentrate mana on my right hand and formulate the image . Modified Earth Wall . Turn clay wall into a wall of rock . Sharp, brutal, with lots of thorns! I'll hit the stiffened D Lostshroom with a surprise blow from the Attack Form . This is the combination of magic and skills!!
"ROCK HAND SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!"
I launch my right fist from a slightly crouched down position with an added twist toward the seemingly side stomach part of the D Lostshroom . At the same time, the magic I imagined manifested on my fist as rocks clad around it, and in addition, several thorny rocks wrapped it . Each thorn is about 5cm long, and they've pierced the D Losthsroom deep .
Not yet! It's not over yet!
"BLAST!!"
All the thorns went inside the D Lostshroom along with an explosive sound . The added formula is like a zero distance shotgun blast . I have added fire magic in the magic composition, so the power should increase . The recoil on my right fist is absorbed by the remaining rock wall . . . or it should have been, it's quite painful still .
Yup, it's more powerful than expectation . Even though the D Lostshroom barely survives, its upper half body where I drive down my fist has been shredded into pieces . This technique is too powerful for interpersonal combat, it could make things turn real gross . There's many rooms for improvement still . Afterward, I take out an iron spear from my rucksack and thrust the D Lostshroom with it at once . The D Lostshroom's HP turned 0 before it disappeared into particles of light .
Ah, is Tama-chan alright!?
Tama-chan is lying slightly away from where I am . She still has 2 HP remaining . Oh good . And I'm sorry Tama-chan . It's completely my mistake this time . I apologize to Tama-chan while healing her .
shake shake
Don't mind it huh . Thank you Tama-chan . I quietly pat her body .
Tereretettette~♪ Thief, Otherworlder Leveled Up Tettere~♪ Acquired Composite Magic Tettere~♪ Grapple Leveled Up Tettere~♪ Magic Modification Leveled Up Tettere~♪ Thief has Leveled up to 10, 『Treasure Hunter』 Class has manifested . Tettere~♪ Tama-chan's Bond has turned into Deep Affection, Differing Soul Telepathy Leveled Up . Tererete~te~tentettere~♪ Tama-chan Leveled Up . Reached Moss Ball's Level Limit . Met the requirement to Class Change .
And that solemn mood is wasted by the NoGoddess's fanfare . Read the mood, dangit .
Either way, that's a lot of increases . But still, so Tama-chan can class change!? Who would've thought that this kid's hard fight would be rewarded this way!
When I imagine tapping Tama-chan's Class to see the reaction, there's only one possible Class Change .
『Super Moss Ball Lv1』 <TLN: Super Marimo in Japanese . >
. . . Is it all right in various ways? She's a Moss Ball after all, there's no problem right? I set it at once since there's no other choices .
KAH
Tama-chan's body is immediately wrapped in light . Then the lights goes down . . . Looking closer, her glossy fur has improved, and the mofu-ness also gets nicer when I touch her . Her soothing level to me has risen indeed, but what about her fighting strength? Guess it needs future inspections .
And when I look around again calmly, I see two purple things lying on the ground . Yes, those things I've been searching for .
"Eggplant Mushroom, gotcha------------!!"
I inadvertently raised them high up on both hands and shouted out loud .
