"If bullets won't work, what about explosive packs?"
Nini shouted as she hurled them with all six hands.
Mira's reply was much less clear, her words broken up by the explosions.
"This... ngh. It should work."
"Then I'm relieved." Nini nodded, then threw even faster, as though she wished she could wrap several explosive packs around her tail and fling those over too.
Two banshees behind her were dedicated to supplying her with ammunition—explosive packs. They took them from crates, pulled the fuses, lit them, and placed them in Nini's hands. The next instant, the lit explosive packs would be plastered all over Mira's face.
"...Could you stop bombing me specifically?"
"Isn't bombing you the most effective? You don't want Blood Port to be finished either, right? Endure it a little. We'll blow you to death soon enough."
Mira fell silent. It was hard to say whether the explosive packs or Nini's trash talk hurt her more.
Meanwhile, Theus watched the live broadcast of the battle through the Mind Link from the sea.
Yet there was a faint trace of worry in his eyes.
The battle against [Loving Mother] seemed to be going smoothly, but the situation here was not without its own problems.
Against a massive monster like [Loving Mother], explosive packs were naturally more effective than bullets. That was experience gained from the deep-sea war.
But in the deep-sea war, the banshees could throw explosive packs freely. Here, they had only begun using them now.
It was not that the banshees disliked using them, but that transporting explosive packs here was simply too difficult.
They were not waterproof, and transporting them was far riskier than transporting bullets. The banshees had forcibly carried some over in sealed crates, but their carrying efficiency was far inferior to that of bullets.
