116 – Grand Duke Aka – 116
Seeing the crowd of undead filling the arena in an instant, Rose panicked and stepped back.
“Yes, Gregory. What should I do?”
Obviously, things weren’t looking good.
Tequila’s original specialty is a style where he summons a large number of low-cost undead summons and presses them down.
However, it was a mistake to think that if Demonic was summoned, he would not be able to launch the offensive.
even… … .
“Did you even get a Skeleton Summoner? It must be difficult.”
An R-class pet that periodically summons skeleton soldiers. About 3 ‘skeleton summoners’.
At this rate, it seemed to be defeated by being crushed by the skeletons that kept coming.
Even worse than that, all opponents were undead.
Partial immunity to status ailments, which can be said to be the strength of the undead, included ‘fear’, which I mainly use.
In other words, it was said that an attack using the appearance would not work against them.
And since it was a story that also included Tequila dealing with the undead, it was better not to think that Tequila would faint at the sight of me.
In other words, there is only one way left.
“It’s a straight line. Rosé. Break it by force.”
“… … Simple, right?”
“Yes, if it’s simple, it’s a simple story.”
Because we are overwhelmingly superior in quality to our opponents.
“First, we aim for the skeleton summoners. As long as we don’t deal with those guys, the skeletons will continue to be summoned.”
“Then I will open the way with magic!”
Upon hearing my order, Rose drew out the ‘World Tree Staff’ and at the same time spewed a bright red fireball forward.
After all, is it because they are low-cost units? Skeletons collapsed unable to withstand the magic of Rosé, the 4th circle summoner.
I use the skill ‘Explosive Speed’ to quickly approach the Skeleton Summoner.
“First one guy.”
As it was, he fired a kick at the Skeleton Summoner, and at the same time, Kang! At the same time as the sound, my feet slip.
“… … It was this.”
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
A skeleton guarding the Skeleton Summoner, with a slightly different appearance from the other skeletons, held a sword and missed my kick.
“… … Demonic.”
The warrior who defeated the Demon King.
A hero who prevented the end of the world.
A hero who destroyed the world himself.
As a result, a hero who was banished from his own world.
He now borrowed the body of an undead and stood in front of me.
I never thought I’d be able to deflect my kicks to the side in that short amount of time.
Even though I didn’t know much about swords, I knew how difficult it was to deflect a high-speed kick to the side.
Even so, can a master swordsman stop the tank?
“If you can, try to block it.”
[(Skill: Spread Wings) is activated.]
[(Skill: Explosive Speed) is activated.]
I didn’t use it until the cockroach kick.
It was because it would be difficult for Demonic to collapse here.
My body shoots forward at a tremendous speed. Demonic in front was aware of this speed and tried to let it go… … . What I did this time was not a kick.
“Jeonjinmuuitak (前進無依託).”
The most massive attack I’ve ever seen.
He mimicked the attack as much as possible and rushed towards the Skeleton Summoner.
Dalgrak!
Demonic must have judged that he couldn’t block it, so he stepped quickly and moved to the side to evade my attack.
And at the same time, my body passed Demonic and shattered the ‘Skull Summoner’.
Bone fragments scattered in an instant.
I stopped and looked in the direction of the next target after confirming that the ‘Skeleton Summoner’ was definitely reverse summoned.
“It’s at 1 o’clock by my standards!”
Rosé’s voice came from behind. Looking there, he saw Rosé, who was crushing the numerous skeletons approaching him with his tenacity and staff.
“profit! Stop coming closer! Rosé Punch!”
Rosé shatters the skulls of skeletons approaching close range while holding a sword.
I don’t think I need any help just yet.
Following Rosé’s words, look at her standard 1 o’clock direction.
A Skeleton Summoner hiding among the skulls. I wanted to run right away, but I felt numbness in my legs due to the after-effects of forcibly using forward movement.
How the hell does Hercules use this skill?
I thought it was a technique that could not be attempted without a really strong body.
clatter clatter—-
The Demonic clattered and laughed at me, probably figuring out something wrong with my leg.
It is recognized that in this state, it is impossible to use forward progress.
“That’s stupid. Have you forgotten that this sparring is a two-on-two fight in the first place?”
At the same time as I shouted, Demonic turned around and swung his sword.
“Gregory!”
Rose, who checked Demonic and me, fired a fireball with the staff in her other hand.
“… … It’s ridiculous.”
In the midst of all that, how did that guy who splits the magic fired by the staff of the World Tree with his sword do that?
I couldn’t even imagine how much skill went into that one knife cut.
“What a monster.”
Also, it’s a scam.
In the end, it stopped approaching the target on the ground and activated [Skill: Spread Wings] to soar into the air.
“… … I was waiting.”
Tequila, who confirmed that I had risen into the air, beckoned me, and I saw the skeletons taking unusually different movements from the army of skeletons.
A longbow in their hands.
“… … Are you a skeleton archer?”
“launch.”
At the same time as Tequila’s command, countless arrows come towards me.
However, the level difference is too big.
I cross my arms to protect my face and hit all the arrows flying at me with my body.
In fact, it was impossible for the Skeleton Archers’ attacks, which were of the lowest grade, to injure my body.
“If I had three stars, it would have hurt a little. Tequila.”
Saying that to Tequila, he searches for another Skeleton Summoner.
In fact, I could have aimed for tequila right here, but… … .
“That, Mr. Gregory?! Demonic is targeting me?!”
It is not possible to end the game with a skeleton who will teach you swordsmanship for free.
Well, maybe I can help you in case of danger.
“I guess I’ll just have to take it easy and deal with the other guys.”
After saying that, it was time to kill a Skeleton Summoner with [Skill: Cockroach Kick].
“… … what?”
Suddenly, the skeletons surrounding me opened the way.
And a person who appeared through that road.
“I didn’t know that Demonic wouldn’t pay attention even though he was aiming for Rosé.”
A person walking towards this place holding a scythe as tall as himself.
Tequila Croft, a girl with pale skin and white hair.
It was her.
“What were you thinking when you appeared in front of me? Are you even going to surrender?”
In fact, appearing in front of a melee-specialized summoner like me was an impossible act without being quite confident in close combat.
You’ll be immediately subdued just by looking at it.
But, Tequila was laughing.
“Because this is all work. … … It would be difficult to elaborate.”
After saying that, Tequila smiled and closed her eyes.
What are you thinking… … ?
when you’re thinking like that
────♪
The sweet singing voice wrapped around my ears.
“… … sing?”
Slowly, she sings a sweet and beautiful song in a language that even I cannot understand.
Around the time I was watching her actions, whose intentions were unknown.
Things started to get weird.
Based on her, the skeletons around her began to rattle loudly and twist.
And I was aware of this phenomenon.
“… … It is a Requiem.”
A skill that only a very few summoners who deal with the undead can acquire.
The technology had different effects for each song that was sung, and the difficulty in operating it was very high, so it was a technology that only geeks used in games.
By the way, tequila uses this?
“I guess you had an epiphany on the journey to get the summoned beast.”
Of course, no answer comes from tequila. I just reply with a sweet rhyme.
But that was enough.
Because he really made me realize that I am a talent worth cultivating.
“good night. I will accept it.”
He clashed his fists and looked at the undead transforming around him.
A body that has grown more than twice as large as its original form and an appearance that has become even more formidable.
“… … The reason you were aiming for a war of attrition from the beginning was to drain your strength.”
It was a clever move.
Most of the summoners who dealt with the undead preferred to deal with the opponent’s energy by using the quantity.
Even at the end, the idea of strengthening the undead with a funeral song and targeting us, whose strength was consumed, was good.
You can be sure that any other ordinary summoner or summoner would have been defeated.
It was to the point where even I felt it was unreasonable for me to deal with an army with this level of specs by myself.
Unfortunately, however, we were not ordinary summoners and summoners.
In the distance, invisible because of the skeletons, you can see a place where smoke is rising.
I laughed at the anticipation of how Rosé would deal with Demonic.
Moongrak-!
Skeletons, as if they didn’t like my smile, threatened me by slamming their weapons on the ground.
yes you were there
You guys are hard for me to deal with alone.
So, I also thought of calling in my own army.
My own army that can chew, swallow and crush anything.
“The Black Swamp.”
At the same time as my short chant, a black orb appeared in the air like a flower blooming.
“It must be the so-called game of chicken.”
it’s demonic
Whose summoner will hold out better.
Let’s try to determine superiority and inferiority once again.
