“It’s been a long time since I fought against the cultists, so it’s very refreshing.”
She speaks while wiping her forehead with a very bright face.
“Is Sister Elena okay?”
Then she put on a worried expression at the sight of Elena panting behind me and about to die.
“no… … ! I think I will die. If you hit it moderately, it doesn’t take much damage. Isn’t that too difficult?”
Most of the monsters in this dungeon are spirit-type monsters called fire lizards.
Since it was a body that was no different from a magical body, the damage of the same spirit-type attacks or attacks that did not match was halved.
It’s a contradiction to the elemental sage, who also handles the wind.
“If you want to attack properly, it’s best to attack with aura or magical power… … Because your attacks are called from the spirits. If the compatibility doesn’t match, it’s bound to be difficult.”
This was also the biggest reason for not taking her.
“But despite that, Eugene’s attacks go well! I only shoot comfortably!”
“Because my gun shoots mana rather than bullets in the first place. And that’s because you can’t write like me.”
“Yes, and comfortable is the wrong word. sister.”
At my words, Michaela also nodded.
“If it is a gun that uses Aura as a bullet and releases it, it is definitely not an ordinary gun, and considering its destructive power and rate of fire… … I’m confident that if Sister Elena pulls the trigger, she won’t pull it for even 10 seconds.”
“Until Sister… … It’s too much.”
“What if it is true? This is because Carlione Jr. is a monster.”
You’re a monster… … .
i can’t answer
“that… … Can I pull it once?”
“this?”
I’m sure it’s only me who’s been using it so far, but I’m a little curious about what will happen if someone else uses it.
“Try it.”
“then… … Excuse me.”
As if it would be fun, she came over and picked up the Tommy that I was handing over.
“Something is very heavy.”
“Because that’s what the original gun was.”
She slowly aims in the direction where there are no people.
“Oh, is it okay to shoot like this?”
Placing the butt plate on his cheekbones was the perfect posture to break his face.
“The buttstock is on the shoulder. Mount it in a place that is as comfortable as possible.”
“uh… … like this?”
“good. Just pull it once. Because it doesn’t fit anything.”
“yes. Then I will shoot.”
At the same time as her fingers move.
──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──!
Countless bullets began to ricochet forward.
Sounds like a Chicago typewriter.
Maybe about 5 seconds passed like that.
“Ugh… … .”
Grabbing her as she was about to lose strength, he handed over Tommy.
“how is it?”
“How on earth can you use something like this like a yard broom?”
Talented family blood and great talent. And if you have the knowledge of the deceased, anyone can do it… … I should say here
“If you’re lucky, it’ll work.”
After all, life is about luck.
“I think we should end our small talk there. I just heard the sound and it seems like a second wave is coming up.”
She, who had been watching us as if she was having fun, turned around and raised her fist.
For some reason, monsters rushing towards us from the direction of the peak.
“Sister, isn’t something strange?”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“It seems that the difficulty of the dungeon is much lower than I thought. I don’t see any strong monsters like mid-level spirits, and I think it’s strange that monsters usually come out of the boss room like that.”
I don’t know if it’s a monster that appears on the way to the boss room, but does it make sense to run away as if being chased by something like that?
“Certainly, Carlione Jr. has a point. It doesn’t look like they’re targeting us, and looking at it this way, it seems like they’re just running away in all directions.”
As she said, monsters that don’t come to us because they spread in all directions.
“Elena. Can you move?”
“Ah yes! are you okay.”
“Me and Sister will open the road, so follow me slowly from behind. I use spirit magic to protect you as much as possible.”
“yes!”
Anyone else would say that he would fight alongside them for his pride. Elena nodded her head and stuck behind us, probably considering the amount of physical strength and magical power she had left.
“I will take the lead!”
Our progress began like that.
Michaela’s kick lands on the head of one of the fire lizards that ran without paying attention to what was in front of them.
Kwajik—!!
It was so loud that I wondered if it would be possible to make such a sound by kicking a monster with a human foot.
Soon after, he punched the second lizard, and the lizard’s body, unable to withstand the impact, exploded and oxidized in the air.
In the meantime, she continues to move without blinking an eye.
As expected, I would like to be called the knight commander at this level.
I also continue to move forward, waving Tommy at the guys who cling to me. Our progress that leads to a quick battle.
“Can we just enter the boss room right now?”
“Yes, as soon as you enter, figure out the type of boss. And let’s decide by looking at the location.”
“All right.”
As we climbed to the top of the peak, the scenery unfolded below.
There was a landscape that had never been seen before.
“Carlione Jr. That… … .”
“Yes, I can see it too.”
A gigantic creature sitting in one place munching on something.
What it was made of, its back was shining as if looking at a lump of iron, reflecting the surrounding flames.
“That… … What could it be?”
At the appearance of a creature she has never seen before, she opens her eyes wide and looks down.
A huge body the size of an adult wolf and an appetite that devours fire. And the body, which seemed to be clad in iron, reminded me of a creature I knew.
“starfish.”
“… … starfish?”
Michaela tilts her head as if hearing the name for the first time.
That would be too.
In the Western world, it would be difficult to find even simple information about that creature, let alone a legend.
In fact, very few non-Koreans know about it.
“It is a legendary monster that exists in the Eastern world. There are stories like saying that if you bring fire to it, you will die, or that you will eat metal. According to the myth, the more you eat, the stronger you become.”
In fact, you can see red flames gushing through the cracks in his uppers.
“With a body made of iron and unable to penetrate fire, do you have any weaknesses or methods that Carlione Jr. knows about?”
“Of course it is.”
What can be said to be the weakness of all living things.
“──Strong firepower.”
“… … yes?”
“Overwhelming firepower. If that’s all there is to it, that’s no big deal. In fact, if Sister and I step forward, we’ll catch it right away.”
Fortunately, the situation is not looking so strong right now.
Since you don’t know how much stronger he will become later on, I think it’s better to deal with him here now.
“Take care of it right away. sister.”
Saying that, as he tucked Tommy in and was about to pull out his shotgun.
flinch.
The short-legged guy turned and lowered his body and began to look at us with wary eyes.
-Grrr… … .
“Anyway, he seems like a nice guy. I’ll tie him up first.”
When Michaela also tries to step out together.
“Now, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, she walks out from behind and blocks our way.
“Sister?”
“why?”
“that… … Wait, can we have a little talk before we catch him?”
“… … conversation?”
A conversation with a starfish. What kind of nonsense is this again?
“Sister. You need to calm down. They are the servants of the heretics. They are creatures that do not even know if they will listen to us.”
Fortunately, Michaela gave a roundabout explanation of what I was going to say, but she just shook her head instead.
“that is… … I can’t speak well, but… … I can feel something!”
“You mean the feeling?”
“yes. how to say Tinkerbell! It’s similar to what I felt before signing a contract with Tinkerbell. It feels like it will work if you talk to it!”
“… … Is it the kind of inner intimacy that today’s generation speaks of?”
I don’t know why the hell there’s an inner intimacy here, but this is kind of interesting?
I felt like I could tell something from her words.
As I expected… … .
“okay? Then go.”
“Carlione Jr.?”
“Instead, Sister and I will watch you from behind you. If something happens, I’ll stop you right away, okay?”
“yes! I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
She answered confidently, but Michaela looked at me anxiously.
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
“are you okay. The spirit sergeant’s intuition fits better than I thought at times like this.”
We slowly moved towards the wolf, who was slowly devouring the flame.
The color of her hair reminiscent of steel, the sparks that can be seen through the cracks, and even her blue eyes. It looked like a giant wolf.
– It smells familiar.
At that time, a voice came from the direction where he was.
“Carlione Jr.? This… … .”
“As expected. that guy It is a spirit.”
“yes? Are you saying that is a spirit?”
“Because it is quite common for a being in a tale to appear as a spirit. As far as I know, those whose attributes cannot be defined are called fair spirits.”
And that guy is a new type of spirit that has never been discovered.
Just as new hidden achievements appeared after being possessed, new monsters appeared.
“are you okay. for a moment. May I approach you?”
-… … I don’t think you’re going to attack me. Okay.
Elena slowly approached him and put her hand on his head.
“… … It looks really cold on the outside, but it’s warm.”
As if Elena’s touch was pleasant, the guy who rubbed his head in her hand very naturally sat down.
“what’s your name?
– Wadu (蝸斗). i come
“Wow. What were you doing here?”
-I do not know. I was suddenly born here. The fireballs started attacking me… … I swallowed them all.
“How much?”
– A very long time.
… … That’s why the seed in this dungeon has completely dried up.
Apparently, the intelligent ones attacked him first, and he seemed to have swallowed them all.
something special No matter how you look at it, he seems to be based in Dongyang, but in a place like this… … .
‘Is this also an accident?’
Even while organizing her thoughts, Elena continued to communicate with the spirit.
“Wow. Are you thinking of going out with us?”
-outside… … ? impossible. My name is bound to this land.
“Then I will give you a new name.”
-You say my name?
“yes. Because my friends became friends with me like that.”
… … I never thought that intimacy would build up just like that.
give it a name Because that meant only one thing.
It is the contract between the spirit and the spirit.
“I seem to see a lot of things that are pretty hard to see today.”
“Iknow, right. A contract with a spirit is a sight that cannot be seen even with money.”
How are our spirits raised in the game?
Reds. Blue. choraengi. Yellowy. blacks and whites.
I miss you guys
– Of course, I want to go out. There is a lot to eat here, but nothing exists.
“Then come out with me. May I give you your name?”
-However much.
“Your name is… … pen! How about a pen?”
-pen. My name is Pen… … .
At the same time, a pure white light begins to surround the guy’s body.
The shape of a guy who is slowly shrinking.
Finally, I let out a blank laugh as I watched him return to the form of a normal dog.
“really. Life is about luck.”
Apparently, the really lucky guy was that guy, not me.
* * *
Cryptocurrency room of the Ministry of Intelligence inside the Vatican.
“Have you finished deciphering the report that reached Michaela?”
“yes. also as expected. The key information was contained in the ‘chant lyrics’ sent by Michaela.”
Saying so, the priest handed over a piece of paper.
In it, keywords about what happened yesterday were written.
[Abandoned Cathedral. meeting. two bad guys. whole world. proclamation. mountain of fire. existence. around. look for it.]
“… … The first part is what I said. what’s behind?”
“It seems that Carlione Jr. is also looking for something in the Fire Mountain. It seems that there is something he is trying to find even while working with the Medici family… … After looking around, it seems that it is better to investigate the current surroundings of Carlione. And the investigation of the photos is all over.”
A picture that says so. There were mafia members belonging to the Medici and even their equipment.
“You got it right. Find out the identities of these guys, upload them to the catalog, and release the followers in the village where the leader of the Knights Michaela currently resides. As those who have no ability to avoid attracting Carlione’s attention. And investigate the surroundings.”
“Yes, Father. By the way, what can I send in reply?”
“Are you replying? … … so that others do not notice. You could just send something like ‘Send information, not stuff like this.’ Indeed, the talent has been earned.”
“All right. By the way, what should I do if I arrived today?”
“I will continue as soon as this analysis is over. I must be working overtime today… … .”
“I can’t help it. What we do is ultimately a sacrifice.”
After saying that, the priest smiled and disappeared. The priest, who was looking at the back, stroked his chin and continued examining the contents.
“Ha, to think of double reporting in case I get caught. As expected, one ability is amazing.”
Once again admiring Michaela’s ability, he shook his head.
I don’t know if that’s what she intended.
