I put Akagawa-san down, smiled at her, and said,
"Are you okay?"
"Yes! Thank you very much!"
"Think nothing of it. We need to focus on the enemy in front of us for now."
"Yes!"
I chuckle a little at her enthusiasm.
"I will distract the Jorogumo. Can you attack it?"
"Of course, but we don't know if our spell is working. Jorogumo is known for having thick skin. If you can create a weak spot for us to hit, we can beat it."
"Very well. I will try to do that."
I guess it is the power of Piercing damage of my arrow that let me damage the skin of the monster. However, how can I create a weak point for the other? Attacking at one spot and making its tough armor break? I guess that is a plan.
I take another arrow from my quiver and begin to fire it toward the Jorogumo belly. If I want to create a weak point, I need to do it in a place where everyone can see.

3rd POV|
Yuka looks at her savior, who starts to attack the Jorogumo with his bow and arrow. Yuka never thought that he was willing to fight Youkai in the frontline for someone wielding a bow. She guesses with Tanaka's agility; he did not need to worry about getting hit by the youkai.
"O lady of the sun, bless us with your radiance!"
After Yuka activates her spell, the bow in Tanaka's hand begins to glow, and he can see a notification saying that his bow will double any damage dealt with an unholy creature. He smirks a little and says.
"Thanks for the blessing!"
Yuka smiles a little when she hears it. While she cannot do a heavy blessing yet, she can give a minor blessing without a problem.
"Master of lightning! Bringer of destruction! I beg for your guidance! Thunderbolt!"
After finish her chant, a massive lightning strike fired from Yuka's hand, and it flies toward the Jorogumo, who busy dealing with Tanaka, who is jumping from left to right, dodging all the Youkai attack.
While Miko is not known for their spellcasting, they can still do it. Yuka and her team are a group of Miko whose job is to purify the youkai and let them go back to the underworld where King Enma will judge them.
Unlike a spell caster whose job is to exterminate the enemy with their spell.
The spell Miko can only be used after invoking the name of gods and goddesses. They can do it without invoking the name of gods and goddesses, but by doing so, their spell will become ten times stronger than the one using the magic circle.
Yuka snaps from her thought when she hears Tanaka shout at them.
"There is an opening around its belly! Attack it with all you got!"
Yuka nods her head and begins to chant.
"O lady of the sun, I beg for your assistance! Bind my enemy! Bind! Bind! Bind!"
After she finishes her chant, a fire rope appears from the ground and binds the Youkai tightly. Yuka knows that it will not last long, but it should be good enough for them to attack Youkai with all their might.
Tanaka nods his head when he sees that Jorogumo cannot move even an inch. With the weak spot created after attacking at one spot using his arrow, he knows that it is time to make a full-out attack.
"Piercing Shot!"
He let his arrow fly toward the enemy and smile when it hit Youkai. However, what makes Tanaka smile grow bigger is the notification he got.
Critical Hit|
He already noticed the lack of Critical Hit notification since the beginning of his fight against the Jorogumo. Even though Tanaka hit the Jorogumo right in the head, there is no Critical Hit being announced.
With the weak point being created now, he knows which part needed to be hit for large damage.
HP: 1987/3250|
Almost half of its HP is gone. Tanaka knew this fight would not be as long as the one he had against the Hunter Ghoul because the Jorogumo did not have the same dexterity as the Ghoul Hunter.
The Jorogumo cannot jump a few hundred meters from the ground in a single leap. Not only that, the place where they fight is also disadvantageous to the Jorogumo.
The narrow path of the alley makes the Jorogumo have a hard time dodging the incoming attack. Its massive body makes it have a hard time moving in the alley.
"Magic Arrow!"
Tanaka fired another arrow, but this time, when this arrow hit the Jorogumo, it exploded. This attack also renews the duration of the burn effect the bow does to the Jorogumo. The burn effect is already stacked to the max. Meaning that it does twenty-five fire damage every second to the Jorogumo for ten seconds, and each time his arrow hits the Jorogumo, the duration will renew.
"In the name of great lord Fujin, I command you!"
Tanaka looks at Akagawa Yuka and sees her cast another elemental attack. This time it was a wind element. Her spell fires a spinning ball of wind that continuously attacks the Jorogumo. The ball of wind is like a chainsaw.
Not only both Tanaka and Yuka, but the others also attack the weak point of the Jorogumo with their spell. The Shikigami also attacked the Jorogumo. The Shikigami that cannot cast magic spells, they are the one that tries to hold the Jorogumo in place.
The one that can only give a support spell decides to give their full support to Tanaka. They cast an enchantment spell, a Debuff spell to the enemy, and a healing spell to the one that got hit by the Jorogumo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buff of the Wind is activated|
{Effect: Double up your DEX for ten seconds}
Buff of the Bull is activated|
{Effect: Double up your STR for ten seconds}
I smile a little at the buff given to me by the group of Miko in the back. I never thought to be a vanguard to the magician. The reason why I take this class is to attack the enemy from far away, dammit!
I snap from my thoughts when I see an incoming fireball and dodge it. With the buff I got from the Miko behind me, I can dodge almost all attacks from the Jorogumo with rather ease. The only time I get hit is when the Jorogumo decides to sacrifice itself to damage me.
Even when I got hit by the attack, the Miko behind me started to heal me without being asked.
I fired another arrow and hit the Jorogumo. I continue to run toward the Jorogumo, which struggles to move from its bind Akawaga Yuka created earlier. When I arrive in front of the Jorogumo, I activate my skill.
"Multi-Shot!"
My body moves on its own and takes seven arrows from the quiver before firing it. I smile a little when I see all seven arrows hit their target. After firing the seven arrows, I activate another skill.
"Spin Kick!"
I spin and kick the Jorogumo three meters into the air. With the Jorogumo in the air, I activate other skills.
"Twin Shoot!"
I fire two arrows at the weak point of the Jorogumo and see it screaming in pain. However, before I could activate another skill, I see the Jorogumo create a spike of ice and fire it toward me.
I begin to run away from the spike, but to my surprise, it follows me. I frowned a little and began to do a zig-zag maneuver. When I see there is a delay before the ice spike could change direction, I have an idea.
I then begin to run toward the Jorogumo, which breaks from its bind. Seeing me coming at it, the Jorogumo opens up its mouth, and when I close enough, I jump high in the air. Seeing me jump into the air, the Jorogumo raises its head and tries to attack me with a wave of corrosive liquid from its mouth.
However, before it could hit me, I used my double jump to dodge to the ground. A second later, I see the dozen Ice Spike coming at my way hit the Jorogumo right in the head. Seeing the monster screaming in pain, I decided to activate all my skills at once.
"Multi-shot! Piercing Shot! Twin Shot! Magic Arrow!"
Arrow after the arrow hit the Jorogumo. Not only me, but the others also begin to attack it when it is screaming in pain. This is the difference between the Ghoul in the dungeon and the monster in front of me.
Ghoul did not feel pain. Because of this, they can continue to charge at you even though you already blew its arms to pieces. They will continue to charge at you even if they only have a head and arm.
A few seconds later, I hear a notification from the system.
Congratulations on defeating the hidden Mini-Boss for the first time!|
