I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 235


(235) Demon Elephant extermination


Translator: Tseirp


“Elephant … man . ”


A huge elephant man stood in the dimly lit room .


It was an elephant that stood on two feet and was wearing clothes . It would be an orc if the animal counterpart was a pig, a kobold if it was a dog but an elephant huh?


The elephant that stood close to ten meters tall — it exuded such huge presence but it didn’t seem to notice that we opened the door as the elephant remained standing with its eyes closed .


I wondered what was that magical beast called?


“I’m guessing it is similar to the Indian G.o.d, Ganesha-sama?”


“Ganesha-sama?”


“A Hindu G.o.d . ”


So it was not a magical beast but a G.o.d huh?


Suzuki seemed to have been referring to a G.o.d of good fortune so it seemed profitable to make a wish to it .


I see, sounds like a virtuous deity .


So that was why it didn’t attack us when we entered .


I took a look around the room, wondering if perhaps there were any records regarding this G.o.d and found words carved into the walls .


One paragraph was written in the common language that both of us knew which the other paragraph was written in a language that was foreign to me .


Let’s see —


【Never interfere with the sleep of the violent Demon Elephant that is sealed within the room housed in the barrier . This information is placed here in hopes that an adventurer capable of defeating the Demon Elephant appears . The Demon Elephant’s weakness is — Adventurer Crocky Baren . 】


【Translation: Sygiros】


【※ A portion is indecipherable】


Eh, so the key point could not be translated .


“Ooo, so this ruin was constructed for the purpose of sealing this magical beast in the first place . I see, it’s no wonder that even I don’t know about it . The citizens would probably feel unsafe if they knew that a Demon Elephant was sealed nearby so the country concealed this fact . And so the criminals utilized the place . ”


“I see, it’s true that it is safe as long as you don’t enter this room . Wait, so it’s not a G.o.d! It’s a magical beast! It’s written there that they are waiting for people capable of defeating it!”


“I only said that it resembled Ganesha-sama, I never said that this elephant was Ganesha-sama!”


Just as we were shouting at each other, the presence moved .


The elephant man ― the Demon Elephant gazed down at us .


It’s awake ― we woke it up .


“It’s all because Kusunoki-kun was making such a racket!”


“No, you are the one making all the noise now! Ah, never mind . Let’s just defeat it if it is meant to be defeated! Slash!”


I took out my steel sword and used Slash .


Suzuki released a Grand Cross at the same time as well .


They were full-powered attacks without holding back ― but even though the attacks tore the clothes of the Demon Elephant, they were all blocked by its extremely thick skin and failed to injure it fatally .


“So st.u.r.dy!”


“Does it have Physical Defense 2000 or something!? Is it trying to be a Metal King?” (TLN: Reference from Dragon Quest)


“Metal Kings are easy though as all you need to do is. .h.i.t it continuously until you get a critical hit . I don’t believe this Demon Elephant’s HP is in the two digit range though . ”


“In that case ―”


I took out the Rod of Aklapios from my item bag and chanted .


“Fire!”


The flames that I cast formed a huge ball and hit the Demon Elephant’s head directly .


But ―


“Completely ineffective?”


After the explosion cleared, the Demon Elephant didn’t show a single change in expression as it lifted its large foot .


I could immediately tell that it raised its foot to stomp on Suzuki .


Wait, why is Suzuki standing there in a daze?


“Suzuki, run!”


I ran as I shouted . But I would not make it at that rate .


I cast Oil Creation on my own feet .


I applied Magical Power Boost to it so 10 times the usual volume was spilled onto the floor .


With that, I had reduced the friction of my feet against the ground to the lowest limit,


“Boost Wind!”


I then created a propulsive force behind me and tackled Suzuki, saving him at the very last moment .


“Ah, thanks, Kusunoki-kun . ”


“Sheesh, what are you doing s.p.a.cing out . ”


“Well, I thought of finding the elephant’s weakness . I used my skill called Weakness Observation . The skill would tell me the weakness of my opponent but I will not be able to move for ten seconds after activation . ”


“Don’t use such a dangerous skill . You would have died if I didn’t save you . ”


“Haha, I did it because I knew you would save me . ”


I won’t feel happy at all even if a guy said such words to me .


I applied the Clean spell to my oiled shoes and restored them .


Unfortunately, I have no interest in BL .


And I do not intend to please Milky .


“So what is its weakness?”


“It seems that all we need is a hard strike on the crown of the Demon Elephant . ”


But the opponent is over seven meters tall you know? How are we going to strike the head of such an opponent ― no, well, with my physical ability, I am able to toss Suzuki over the Demon Elephant’s head .


Just as I had that though, I heard a thunderous slam behind me .


The Demon Elephant had fallen over .


Ah, obviously it would trip if it stomped on a floor that has been filled with oil .


“Er, so all we have to do is strike the head of the Demon Elephant that fell?”


“Erm, hitting its head from above will apparently cause damage to its entire body . But there might not be any point if it has fallen down … what do you think we should do?”


Waiting for it to stand up felt wrong as well .


Furthermore, I used Boost Oil Create and Boost Wind after Neete robbed my magical power just now so I had consumed most of my MP and will not be able to cast large spells .


But if I wish to cut it with a sword, taking its thick skin into consideration, slashing it directly with a steel sword would break the steel sword instead .


If only I had an even st.u.r.dier sword .


“That’s it!”


I used the Sword Creation skill .


A Sword of Light formed . As it was a sword made from magical power, its cutting edge was much better compared to a steel sword .


With this sword that Miri recommended for all situations other than when I wish to conceal my strength ―


“Crown Strike & Helmet Split!”


Crown Strike was a skill to increase the attack power to the head while Helmet Split was a skill to reduce the opponent’s defense when used to hit the opponent’s head .


I swung my sword onto the Demon Elephant’s head as it tried to stand up .


A compound strike made up of three skills including Sword Creation ― if this could not defeat the opponent, we would have to give up on relying on physical attacks .


However, there was no need for any further planning .


The sword I created crushed the skull of the Demon Elephant ― I was certain of that sensation that was transmitted through the sword .


And I seemed to have been right .


I leveled up .


That meant that the Demon Elephant had breathed its last .


【Ichinojo leveled up】


【Opportunistic Thief skill: 「Packing」acquired】


【Opportunistic Thief skill: 「Fire Resistance (minor)」has skilled up to「Fire Resistance (small)」】


【Opportunistic Thief skill: 「Ignition」acquired】


【Opportunistic Thief skill: 「Fire Resistance (small)」has skilled up to「Fire Resistance (medium)」】


【Opportunistic Thief skill: 「Immense strength at the scene of a fire」acquired】


【There are no further levels for Opportunistic Thief】


【t.i.tle: Peak of Opportunistic Thief acquired】


Guho!


Now that I think about it, I swapped my job to Opportunistic Thief .


Eh? Does this mean when I use the Job Seeking skill, I can only level up my first job?


Packing should be a skill to wrap whatever you steal in a wrapping cloth?


Ignition sounds more like an arsonist’s skill rather than an Opportunistic Thief skill .


I felt that ‘Immense strength at the scene of a fire’ have no relation with an Opportunistic Thief . Instead, it sounds like a skill that a superman of justice would use . (TLN: FYI, Opportunistic Thief is written as ‘scene of fire thief’ in j.a.panese . )


But I was a little happy to see my Fire Resistance increase .


The peak of Opportunistic Thief huh … if I get the Instructor skill, would I be able to open an Opportunistic Thief cla.s.s?


… I would obviously not open one though .


“It looks like … you defeated it . I guess it is my defeat . ”


“Yeah . Looks like it is my win ― eh? So where is the smuggling crew’s boss?”


I looked around but there was n.o.body else after all .


We only found out later that the smuggling crew boss was mixed in with the thieves we defeated .


He was way too much of a small fry that we didn’t notice that he was the boss .
