136 – Delinia – Halloween 4
“Now, wait a minute! They’re trying to resurrect Lily-sama’s corpse, did I hear that right?!”
Ella, who had been listening to the story in front of her, raised her voice as if it were nonsense.
“It’s not anyone else, it’s Lily-sama. Lily von Euglia. He is a human hero who helped the hero Lars defeat the disaster together. By the way, are you trying to resurrect Lily-sama with necromancy?”
“okay. If it’s like Lily’s graveyard, they’ll usually put up guards when there’s no Halloween. Am I right?”
“yes that’s right.”
“And when Halloween comes like this, I empty the graveyard for a while. Because there can’t be crazy people who will come through this disaster. So, now is the right time to aim for it. Lily von Euglia, who has the power to save mankind. If you revive her and use her as a servant, you will have a mighty familiar.”
In fact, such cases were not nonexistent.
“But——”
“In the past, the followers of Naberius must not have forgotten that they used ancient heroes to destroy a kingdom.”
One of the most difficult episodes in the game. I remember clearing the episode of preventing the destruction of Odbell Kingdom with quite a bit of difficulty.
The first time I did it, I think it was about 3 times. After knowing the strategy, it became just a honey EXP farming place.
“… … If Gregory-sama’s guess is true, we must stop it even at the cost of our lives.”
After confirming that the undead were no longer coming, Tequila folded her scythe and told us.
“Lily’s corpse being passed over to the enemies symbolically has the potential to cause great damage to the continent. It must be stopped unconditionally.”
“I agree. If Lily’s corpse is stolen here and appears on the battlefield as an undead, many elves who symbolize her will give up fighting and despair.”
In other words, we were now in a situation where the fate of the continent depended.
“Then we have to stop it. by any means.”
Taking advantage of the gap when the undead didn’t come, Rose, with a pipe in her mouth, spoke with a determined look in her eyes. Ella nodded as if agreeing with that opinion.
“Yes, I will fight. I can’t even go here to ask for support.”
I said that and looked in one direction saying he was there.
Trees and darkness still filling the surroundings. A follower of Naberius who will be beyond.
Perhaps the reason why there are no undead here is probably because he put his hands on it.
“Staying here would only give him time. Let’s get to him as quickly as possible.”
“Is he going to just watch us approach? It’s clear what you’re going to do.”
Ella, who has been listening to the story, raises her hand and raises a question.
A powerful enough person to snip at Ella’s spirit from a long distance. As she said, it was clear that if we approached it like this, we would definitely use some method.
So–
“I, who can get the fastest speed here, approach first and get his attention. So that you can join in the meantime.”
[(Skill: Spread Wings) is activated.]
He immediately soars up into the sky and looks in the direction he is supposed to be.
The guy from far away, heading here. I couldn’t read his expression because it was covered by the hood, but I knew by instinct that he was looking at me.
[(Skill: Explosive Speed) is activated.]
It flies straight towards the guy. The staff of the guy who moves at the same time. At the same time, as he stretched out his staff, a purple magic circle unfolded and purple flames began to fly at great speed.
However, the wheel’s evasion ability is beyond imagination. I quickly leaned to the side and narrowly avoided his attack, and immediately took up my stance and flew towards him.
“Cockroach kick.”
My sharp feet become a line and fly straight toward him.
“shield.”
The mouth of the guy under the hood moves and at the same time a purple membrane forms to block my feet.
“Do you think you can block it with a shield like this? Necromancer.”
The cockroach kick boasts the strongest penetrating power among my skills. As if to prove that, the point where the foot and the shield touched began to crack with a clicking sound.
“Cut in half and die.”
“Bone wall”
As he sings the chant, the ground wriggles and white bones rise.
And at the same time, a sharp sound is heard, his shield breaks, and my kick hits the wall he created.
“Chit.”
A wall of bones crumbling in an instant. But he was already ready to deflect my attack from within.
“repulsive force”
When he reached out his hand, my body flew backwards. I quickly spread my wings and stopped it from crashing into the tree, but in the end I ended up giving it time.
“Your boy. It’s the first creature I’ve ever seen.”
Was it only after the distance was widened that they had the heart to talk? The boy finally opens his mouth.
“I’ve never heard of a bug-type demon like you, but who’s the demon under?”
At best, the question is, who do you work for?
“I am the one who serves Naberius, the great devil who occupies the twenty-fourth throne. I don’t know what demons you serve, but it wouldn’t be such a good idea to touch me as one of the Prime Devils.”
The guy who tries to convince me by mentioning the name of Naberius.
“Naberius… … . Are you talking about that bastard with three raven heads that I know?”
“What, what?”
“If you believe him and are so arrogant, you’d better put that idea away for now.”
Does he resent the fact that he insulted the devil he serves? The staff he was holding and his body began to tremble.
“Yes, you dare! Are you insulting Lord Naberius!”
“You guys believe in that bird’s head and install it, it’s ridiculous.”
“… … I will definitely offer your head to Naberius.”
“If you can.”
The guy who seemed to have gone blind at my provocation let go of the staff and opened the book he was wearing at his side.
The staff floating next to that guy. Apparently, that staff was not an ordinary thing either.
“Children. Gather to me.”
As he chanted in a low voice, as if making a solemn declaration, purple smoke began to rise around him.
And a growl that starts to be heard all around.
It seems that what he spread was a magic that summoned his scattered minions.
“As a servant of Lord Naberius, I will make a prophecy for you. You will now die surrounded by my minions.”
He seems to think that he can win by gathering his minions around him, but he gets arrogant in an instant. For such a guy, I also decided to make a prophecy.
“Let me also make a prophecy. Sooner or later you will be surrounded by girls and beaten.”
“… … what?”
——An arrow containing the power of the wind cuts through the air and flies toward the guy’s forehead.
A purple shield that shatters in front of the guy’s face, probably memorizing the shield magic.
“… … arrow?”
“Looks like this one arrived first.”
“Gregory!”
Looking back, I saw Rose, who was running towards this place waving her hand, and Ella, who was holding a bow. And tequila and demonic were seen.
“You came sooner than expected.”
“yes! I came while cutting down all the trees that got in my way!”
… … No, you’re an elf who has to protect the forest. Are you okay?
Well, it’s me, it’s rather good because I came quickly.
“It’s absurd that you can barely trust such little kids to install it.”
thump–thump-thump-thump
The forest begins to shake.
At least, the birds in the forest flew towards the sky, and the ground that resonated with the sound seemed to be beating a drum as if to bless the appearance of something.
“I-what is that?!”
Looking at the direction Rose pointed to, I saw that something in a huge shape was approaching this place.
“That guy.”
“yes?”
“The reason why there are no undead around here.”
The closer he got, the more clearly he began to see his figure.
A horrific figure, as if a number of undead were gathered in one place. Seeing that, Rosé and Ella, who were next to me, frowned and looked at it.
“That… … What is it?”
“The corpse collector. It’s a guy with the name Undead Collector.”
A guy with the troublesome characteristic of becoming stronger the more he absorbs the undead around him. It was a guy who absorbed all the undead of Halloween, not anywhere else, so you couldn’t even predict how strong it would be.
“It’s going to be a pretty annoying fight.”
Kuduk. Kuduk. Unfasten the upper joint and look down at the guy.
Other undead not absorbed by the body collectors. Each one emits a vicious purple aura around them, proving that they are not ordinary undead.
“This will be a volume transfer.”
Rosé raised her sword with a smile as if she was already used to this kind of threat.
“Yes, if it’s a volume battle, we won’t lose either.”
Sensing that it was finally time to release the mana I had stored up until now, I stretched out my two arms toward them.
“The Black Swamp.”
I’ll make you feel the real fear that real stock brings.
