Bab 158: Forty-first floor

"Now then," Tom muttered, passing through the barrier, "how should I deal with you?" he threw the question in the orc's face. 

Just like usual, the moment he crossed the barrier, the boss noticed his appearance. It shook both of its weapons once as if cooking them for the fight only to stand its ground.

'It's not charging?' Tom thought, observing the monsters with his keen eyes. 'Well, whatever,' he dismissed his worry, calling forth a magical spear to each of his hands. 

Tom didn't change his strategy at all. He simply threw both of his spears, one to the right of the monsters and one to the left. 

There was no point trying to nail it down with the first shot as the weaker monsters from before already proved to be capable of shoving it aside. 

'Now, which way will you look?' Tom thought, calling forth the third spear to his hand. 

But the monster stood its ground. Yet, just as Tom was about to swap, it charged forward.
