we would be on dry land in no time.
You shouldn’t fight an enemy on their own turf.
Lure them into your own…!

Splash!

We shot out of the water!
I would fly as far as I could, and once the effect ended, I would land on Floating Cloud Herd and watch them from above.

GAAARRRRR!!!

“What!? Woah!!”

Something bit into my left left!?
And then I started rotating in a different direction…!
I went from I’m Arrow’s drill spin to doing cartwheels…!

“Gah! Grr…! Ah…”

I heard a terrible sound and then I was thrown onto the grass.
Even the tall grass here was not enough to cushion me.

But I wasn’t dead…
Perhaps it wasn’t so bad…

“…I can’t feel my left leg.”

As I had turned off most gore effects in the settings, it looked like I still had a leg.
But in fact, there was no leg there, and so I couldn’t move it.
I had experienced this loss of body parts before during the fight with the Windcloud Dragon.
I needed a regeneration potion or some other item in order to fix this.

And just like before, I didn’t have such a potion with me!
As it was possible that I could lose limbs during the tournament battle, I really had to find a way to make some…
I wouldn’t be able to shoot if I lost my arms.
But losing a leg was also bad.
These strong enemies have been really teaching me lessons a lot lately.

As for the enemy that tore off my left leg…it was the alligator.
It had scales that were black like a crow.
It practically looked like a dinosaur.
Perhaps it had been based on some prehistoric ancestor of alligators.
Considering how large its mouth was, I should probably be thankful that it only took one leg.
And due to the violent spinning, I had been flung off far away enough from the ancient alligator.

I had not expected this boss-like alligator to be waiting for me up on dry land.
But I got off pretty lightly considering I had been ambushed.
I might have died in one hit had I just walked normally out of the water.

While its ability to crush I’m Arrow frightened me, I was able to protect myself in the end.
And even while missing a leg, the battle was in my favor…I think.
No, perhaps I should just retreat once with Warp Arrow…

“Gar! Gar! Gar!”

“What is it, Garbow?”

He was crying much louder than usual.
And he seemed so excited, like he was about to attack…

“Wait, is it because that thing has it? The item you need for evolution…”

“Gar! Gar! Gar!”

It sounded like Garbow was replying to me.
…So I would do what I could in the situation!
From what I could see, this savanah was quite far from the main road.
I wouldn’t be able to reach the nearest town by using Warp Arrow just once.
Besides, I might be hunted down by some other monster when I landed.

In that case, I should kill this ancient alligator and then travel with the evolved Garbow.
That would be safer.
What did it matter if I didn’t have any legs? I’ll be a cannon!
This was all for Garbow’s evolution.
And so I would stay put with Garbow and fight!
