Chapter 57: Hero Grathias' Perspective
"I will attack using magic as much as possible!"
"That's the correct approach."
After I gave the advice, the B-ranked party members obediently followed.
They're a well-behaved bunch.
Well, it's easier to handle them this way.
While Misha was locked in a fierce battle with the Behemoth, the Onryu Squad led by Falmayda and the Lightning Squad led by Darrenmurl approached the Behemoth with their comrades.
Being a B-ranked party, I didn't expect them to deal much damage to the Behemoth with magic.
From my perspective, they're still inexperienced adventurers.
They should at least experience battling the Behemoth and understand the harshness of combat.
They'll learn how challenging it is for me, an S-ranked party, to deal with.
Teaching them about the hardships is part of an S-rank's duty.
If they're promising adventurers for the future, this experience should be valuable.
"Listen, everyone. Even the hero Grathias couldn't rely on swordsmanship. It's well-known that teaching our swordsmanship is difficult. But it's important to gain experience here. Those who can use magic, attack with magic. Those skilled in swordsmanship, use your swords!"
"I'll use magic!"
"I'll challenge it with my swordsmanship. It's a long shot, but it'll give us an idea of how strong the Behemoth is!"
"Alright, everyone, do your best!"
The Onryu Squad took the initiative in attacking.
"Misha, we'll join the fight too!"
"Please, I can't handle this alone!"
There are even those skilled in swordsmanship among them.
I offered advice, but well, it's fine. It's a learning experience.
Swordsmanship won't work on the Behemoth.
It must have nullified physical attacks, so they can learn from this.
Magic attacks were executed.
"Take this! Wind Arrow!!"
Shviiiiing!
Shviiiiing!
Wind magic.
They managed to hit the Behemoth with wind magic.
Rooooaaaar!
"Well done, keep attacking, it's effective!"
Yeah, it's effective, but only a bit.
Probably because the magic is weak.
It requires advanced magic to deal significant damage.
Well, it would be harsh to expect that from B-ranked individuals.
I'm not that heartless.
