I expected that Michaela would be strong, but I never thought that the players would win so easily against a priest holding a sword called ‘Firelighter’.
He would do that, too, as he poured explosive deals on the unfavorable guy by inserting his fist into him and directly injecting divine power into it and exploding it… … .
Of course, it is impossible for the priest to endure.
“Sir, Sister, you are incredibly strong.”
After the situation is completely over. Approach Michaela with Elena.
“The opponent was just weaker than I thought. Even Carlione Jr. could have easily taken it down.”
Saying that, she glanced at me. He answered the question with a shrug.
“It’s not over yet. That, and that and that, absorbs all the surrounding flames and is resurrected.”
“yes? Wouldn’t that be okay?”
That’s why in the game, I usually just broke the well and escaped while sealing or ignoring him.
But in the current situation, the story would be different.
“The pen will take care of that now.”
It was because he was staring at the flames dripping liquid that he didn’t know if it was saliva or lava.
– Contractor. can i eat it
“Ah yes. They say you can eat it.”
– I will eat well!
The guy who started consuming the remnants of the priests scattered on the floor. I followed him and headed to the traces of the priest who had already turned into pieces of rags.
“sister. Aren’t you taking this?”
A red necklace torn from the ‘neck’.
It looked as if the sun had been made of jewels, and it looked like an unusual object even at a glance.
[I found a new item!]
[Name: Flame priest’s necklace]
[Rating: Unique]
[Type: necklace]
[Description: A necklace used by priests who worship fire giants. When equipped, the attack power of fire-type weapons is slightly increased and fire resistance is greatly increased.]
Items that can be useful depending on the situation. It was also something that could be sold at a fairly high price in the market.
But for some reason, Michaela looks at the necklace with a terrible expression as if she were looking at a bug and waves her hands.
“It is blasphemy to have something like that used by pagans hanging around your neck. If it was the Vatican, it is the reason for expulsion. junior.”
It seems that he doesn’t even want to touch it because of religious issues.
“Then what about this?”
“Leave it or keep it. Just looking at it makes me feel negative.”
“ah. yes.”
What do you do when the person in question says so?
i should have
I didn’t have a necklace that I could use, but it seems that I got a good item through a more absurd route than I thought.
-full… … .
As I was packing my necklace, the pen that had eaten all the surrounding flames just came back. My stomach protruded more than usual, no matter how delicious I ate.
The guy who came right next to Elena and sat down. Seeing that, I also sat down and told the two of them.
“It seems like it will take more time for the main unit to arrive anyway, so let’s wait a bit.”
The condition for catching the boss is to destroy the six peak wells.
It means that there is no use if we go inside by ourselves now.
When the three of them are sitting down and taking a break. Elena asked me curiously.
“Eugene. What is there in the 5th Peak, so you say that it needs a lot of people?”
“Oh, there? It’s just a battlefield.”
“… … A battlefield?”
Michaela opens her mouth to her expression of incomprehension.
“I think I’ve heard of it before. There is a village of fanatics on the 5th peak of Mount Etna.”
“that’s right. It’s a place where the fanatics who flowed in from the outside and the fanatics who were here from the beginning form a village and live. Should I say that it is a place where not only traps are everywhere, but also people who regularly commit suicide terrorism.”
That’s why it was efficient for the army to go there.
It was a place where if magicians gathered near the village and wiped it out with firepower, it would be easier to clean up than I thought.
Well, since the priest, who could be called the head, was dealt with from this side, it was probably easier than I thought.
At that time, the pen that had been sitting still stood up. Elena, looking at the end of the horizon, stood up as well.
“uh? Do you think he’s coming over there?”
Hearing this, I too stood up and could see a large crowd in the distance approaching this place.
“But the numbers seem to have given up a bit. If it had gone according to plan, wouldn’t it have arrived without major damage?”
As Michaela said, for some reason the number was smaller than the number of people who went for the first time. Some of them even had serious-looking injuries.
Those who approached Luca as the lead, as if they had discovered us too.
“I’m glad all three of you look fine… … .”
“What happened? If it was Venezia and the mercenaries, we should have handled 5 Peaks without much trouble.”
“ah. That’s it… … .”
He explains what happened in the village like that.
I heard that while preparing magic near Hani Village, some of the mercenaries heard rumors that there might be treasure in the village before casting magic and tried to sneak in.
Eventually, they discover that there is an intruder. His explanation was that he was hit back by the fanatics of the town.
“Fortunately, there were no fatalities except for the three mercenaries who went down to the village. Most were lightly injured, only a few were seriously injured.”
“What happened to the well?”
“Fortunately, we managed to destroy the well. A total of 39 people can participate in the current raid. There are 42 people including you two.”
“… … That’s good.”
Still, the numbers that can perform raids.
He let out a sigh of relief and looked back.
“Then, only the final battle remains.”
One last remaining giant peak. Only what we commonly call the crater remained.
“How about you take a little rest?”
“I was treated while I came, so it’s okay. In the first place, this is not a good environment to rest.”
Saying that, he pulled out the sword he had kept in its scabbard and looked up at the crater.
“Let’s finish quickly and go back. It would be better that way, even for the wounded.”
“Then do it.”
Even if the raid ended quickly, there was nothing wrong with me.
Finish the last reorganization with the crater in front of you.
Potions for emergencies and enchantments for rising temperatures. And even a getaway operation to prepare for the worst.
“Then, let’s move.”
Starting with Luca’s words announcing their departure, the main unit moves slowly.
Even though I am just walking, the fear that has already colored the surroundings. It has been a long time since their steps, which had been walking normally until now, have changed to heavy and drooping steps.
The existence I am going to face now is a monster that countless heroes have failed to subdue.
Because he was the ‘Fire Giant’.
Is that why?
Michaela, who had been walking silently until now, lifted her head and started to walk faster than the others, leading the way.
She walks with a dignified step in silence, gathering divine power in her whole body.
Could it be because of the refreshing air due to divine power? Those who were walking behind him raise their heads one by one and start walking along with Michaela, who is heading to the top first.
‘Sister is so courageous, but I can’t be like this.’
‘The girl we have to protect is leading the way, are you going to be like this?’
‘let’s go.’
From that point on, the atmosphere of the party becomes even more harmful, and the energy that is dotted with fear begins to fade.
Well, I don’t know who they are.
The fact that the nobleman who is leading the way now had beaten the priests with his bare hands until just a moment ago.
It was clear that he probably wouldn’t even know.
‘If it’s good, it must be good.’
Thanks to that, the atmosphere itself has improved.
We finally managed to climb to the top of the volcano.
Looking down, the sea of fire that has passed so far, as well as the many peaks that have been walked so far, are unfolding.
… … If you haven’t looked behind you.
Chunky– Chunky–
The sound of chains rubbing in the pit where you can’t even see the bottom properly.
What kind of mass do chains have to touch to make that kind of sound?
It was probably the question everyone was thinking about right now.
“Let’s go.”
Michaela, who had been in the lead so far, steps down the crater first.
As it is, she falls down in an instant.
Elena, who had been watching that scene, looked at me in amazement.
“Hey, do we have to go down here? just get away?”
“There is no shock from falling, so you don’t have to worry. This place was originally made to go down like this.”
Originally, the boss room gimmick was tailored to the environment, so it was directed like this.
By adding a lot of unfamiliar terms and explanations.
And such details change into faith in the same situation as now.
“yes?”
“Go down first.”
Following the people who are already jumping down, I also go down.
As soon as both feet are in the air, the body freely falls down.
However, the strange thing is that instead of accelerating, the speed gradually decreases.
Finally, as soon as both feet touched the floor, a huge temple unfolded before my eyes.
A huge temple made of basalt and granite appeared in front of me.
The raid members regroup in front of such a temple. When I too try to move my steps to join them.
– aaa!
– Calm down, contractor! Because the speed is decreasing–
– Don’t let go! don’t let go!
When I turned my head at the scream coming from behind, I met eyes with Elena, who was trembling while holding the pen by the tail.
“… … Pretend you didn’t see it.”
Even so, she bowed her head, perhaps ashamed.
At first, he nodded without saying anything, and then moved on to the place where the people were.
People who have already taken out their weapons and started to unite in groups to enter the temple.
There were a total of three reasons for moving in a group rather than a formation from this point on.
One is that the inside of the temple has a complex structure.
The two are in order to reduce space limitations as much as possible.
The last was to move a little more carefully from numerous traps and enemies due to the nature of the interior of the temple.
And, of course, our union is a three-member party of me, Elena, and Michaela.
By the time everything is ready.
-Although it took a lot of sacrifice, we finally got there!
The Venetian representative, Luca, who could be said to be in charge of this raid, came forward and began his final speech.
Well, it’s a morale booster. It’s definitely necessary, but… … .
Click-click–click-click–
Do I have to do it in a place where I can hear the sound of the giant’s chains?
If successful, it’s probably a scene that will remain in the record for the rest of my life, so it’s not that I don’t understand it… … It’s still clumsy.
In the eyes of this ‘senpai’ who has been trained through numerous experiences.
then… … .
“Elena. sister. Please cover your ears for now.”
“yes?”
“Eugene? Where are you going?”
“To scam.”
I can only show you an example.
If you want to boost morale, shouldn’t you do it hotly?
Passing by Luka, who was giving a speech with clenched fists, he put his hand into the cube and pulled out a handful of items he had prepared for this occasion.
“Since ancient times, in South Korea, the country of courtesy in the East, it is a national rule to knock when you come to a guest’s house.”
[Name: Magic Stone Bomb.MKⅡ]
[Rating: Rare]
[Type: explosives]
[Description: A bomb that explodes by amplifying the power inside by applying shock to the magic stone. Due to the extremely strong explosive power, caution is required when using it.]
Traps and lurking minions?
– Risking my life–! For honor and trust——Carlione Jr.? what are you doing now–
“Excuse me!!”
It was enough to sweep those things before entering.
