57 – Akabara – 57
“The Black Swamp”
The black flowers that bloomed in the air began to disperse in full bloom.
Kiehek——!!!
A dragon that twists its entire body to drop the group of wheels that are trying to surround it.
Numerous wheels are scattered to the ground under the weight of the overwhelming mass.
“Ugh… … . It is also overwhelming.”
Rosé shudders and trembles next to me.
In the current situation where it is not clear who the opponent is, I decided not to use even [Greed], so I decided to save it.
Wheel grime begins to cover the airship in the distance.
However, the opponent’s airship seemed to have a defense mechanism, and the wheels clinging to their ships were falling.
“I guess I’ll have to go there myself. Rosé, you and Priscilla are guarding the deck.”
“yes! take care!”
Activates [Skill: Spread Wings].
As it was, it flew into the air and increased the distance from our airship.
After all, there seemed to be no restrictions on going out from the inside.
“Raphael. I’m thinking of invading the opponent’s airship right away.”
Raphael is holding a flying dragon in check while circling the airship. She answered me without taking her eyes off the dragon.
“I guess I have to keep watching this guy? If that guy crashes into the airship, it’s over.”
“is it. Then I’ll go in alone.”
I turned around and headed towards the bandits’ airship. An airship approaching us at a constant speed.
As I was getting closer to it, something started popping out of the airship, like an interceptor coming out of a carrier.
“Kill all the men and capture all the women!”
“If the flying dragon clears the way, just enter!”
“There’s something flying!”
Judging by its appearance, it appeared to be a motorcycle-like object made with a floating stone that allowed it to move through the air.
Were there any bandits riding something like that in the game? I wanted to, but I shook my head and stopped thinking.
After all, it’s just a game setting, and if something like that appears, that’s it.
“What is that monster!”
“Leader! Do something!”
“Wow, that’s terrible! Let’s go back first. huh? please!”
If you see someone in fear, they’re just talking about something.
Activates [Skill: Explosive Speed].
As it was, I increased my speed and approached them.
“God, the monster is coming!”
“Shoot the crossbow you idiots!”
“How do you deal with something like that!”
Crossbow bolts flying towards me. I avoid everything I can avoid, and I keep trying to approach the things I can’t avoid with my hands.
“retreat! retreat! Everyone, go back inside!”
The guys who are trying to get back into the airship at the command of the guy who seems to be the captain.
The antenna moved quickly and the movement of magic power was detected.
It must have sensed those guys coming in and opened the shields on the airship itself.
The distance between me and the guys is about 30m.
I had to get in before that shield closed.
“I can’t help it.”
After squeezing out all my strength and approaching them as much as possible, when they were about to enter the airship, I shouted a spell in the name of justice.
“Cockroach kick.”
I became a single black thunderbolt and was able to enter their airship.
* * *
Inside the airship of the pirates, some of the pirates who had gone out returned immediately for some reason, and at the same time sirens resonated throughout the ship.
“Bisaaa—!!! emergency!!!! The enemy has entered the hull!!!”
“what?! Some madman is stepping into the middle of enemy lines!”
“Strange bugs keep clinging! Take care of it!”
“Where is the boss! Report to the boss immediately!”
And the captain’s office of such an airship. The leader of the bandits, Dave, who was being briefed on the situation, sighed and stood up.
“You stupid bastards! Only one enemy! If you hit it all, it’s enough!”
Dave shouts and pulls out a pistol from his waistband. Unbearable, he stormed out of the captain’s room to stop the invaders.
“We are the Sora Aoi bandits who say they make even a crying child stop! If you’re going to see such an idiotic sight, everyone jump!”
Confusion begins to subside little by little at Dave’s shout.
“Gather the elite troops right now. Intruders will be dealt with by me.”
“yes! boss!”
“And turn off these f*cking sirens! I’m going to go deaf!”
Only then did the chaotic situation calm down.
“after… … . Where is the enemy?”
“Yes, it seems to be near cabin number 4… … Something is strange.”
Dave frowns at the adjutant’s strange report.
“It’s strange, what are you talking about?”
“That is it. The normally brave guys screamed and then lost contact as they searched for the names of the gods they believed in.”
“… … what is that?”
“I mean.”
“… … First, move to the vicinity of cabin 4. What about the other guys?”
“Yes, I will go straight to cabin number four.”
“good. Let’s go guys!”
12 elite soldiers, including the leader of the bandits, Dave, started running towards cabin 4.
“I… boss? There is something strange about it.”
“Anything strange?”
Then, with his index finger extended, subordinate 1 pointed to a corner of the hallway.
“that… … Aren’t they the bugs that tried to attack our airship earlier?”
The boss’s expression hardened as he looked at the place the subordinate 1 was pointing at.
That dark red color and shiny backing. And the antennae that move without rest and the appearance that even feels fear.
Certainly, it looked exactly like the worm that had just wreaked havoc on the inside of the airship.
“You stupid bastard! Just look at how many other guys came in after attaching them!”
“That, right?”
oops! Dave, who trampled on the bug, continued to step forward. Dave opened the door to the hallway where cabin 4 was located as hard as he could and shouted with a wit.
“Oh guys, are you okay!”
Sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-sabak-
Bugs filling the hallways.
dump. and Dave sits on the floor.
“boss? Why in the world———Hee hee profit?! What’s this! close! Close the door!”
The bandits quickly block the door at the sight of insects approaching them.
The mood of the bandits changed as they heard creepy sounds over and over the door.
“Daejangdaejang, what should I do in a case like that?”
“Why are those bugs all together?”
“Uweeek——! Uwueek——!”
Even a bandit that vomits.
Even Dave, the boss, couldn’t figure out what kind of hell he had just seen.
I just decided that it couldn’t be solved by ordinary methods.
“… … Bring that.”
“yes?”
“The order book I robbed the other day! Bring that!”
And the method was very simple. No matter how many there are, it’s just a swarm of insects. It was enough to burn them all in one shot.
“Can this be it? Leader?”
Subordinate 2, who quickly ran to the warehouse, handed Dave a wad of paper.
A magic scroll with [Magic: Fire Field] engraved on it.
Dave thought it was better than being encroached on by insects, although he didn’t know that there would be a lot of damage because it was on board.
“First, tell the guys in the captain’s office to prepare for landing! Tell the others to be ready to put out the fire!”
“Do you really want to use it? There might be guys still alive inside————”
“Hey, you stupid bastard! Don’t you know that if you go on like this, you’ll find everything?! The living don’t have to live!”
Whoa. said Dave, catching his breath.
There must still be those terrible creatures beyond this door, so wipe them all out in one go!
Dave, who was determined, opened the order book and threw it over the door at the same time as he shouted.
“Burn everything and burn it. You monsters!!!”
Woo support!
All the bugs trying to get out of the room got stuck in the cracks in the door and were crushed to death.
Black bodily fluids seeping through the cracks in the door. And after a while, a tremendous explosion was heard from inside, and heat began to be felt through the door.
“… … Have you dealt with it?”
“ha ha ha! You boss did it! All the bugs must be dead!”
“Jeeenjang——!!! The boss trusted you!”
“As expected, our boss!”
The other men start praising Dave in an instant. Dave, who instantly forgot what he had just seen before, stood up and laughed out loud.
“Yes guys! I am Sora Aoi’s outlaw! It’s Dave!”
And then, the iron gate passed by Dave with a roar.
Subordinate 3 flew away with the door and died.
“… … what?”
“───It was a bit chilly at the time, but thank you for turning on the light.”
Dave slowly turns his head.
“Who lit the fire?”
At that place
“I’d like to give you a fire punch as a thank you.”
wrapped in fire all over the body
“… … Maybe, is it you?”
A gigantic bug-shaped demon was smirking and glaring at him.
* * *
Thanks to the sudden flight of orders, I almost suffered great damage.
As soon as I entered the ship, most of the guys I dealt with seemed like jobbers, so they seemed to think it was too easy.
As soon as the flames soared, [Skill: Flame Enchantment] was used all over the body, so it was fortunate that there was no damage.
Maybe if I was a little late using my skills, I would have been roasted and reverse summoned.
So, I was a bit upset.
“Uh, how?!”
A man staring at me with his mouth wide open enough for his jaw to fall out.
Judging by the different outfits from the other guys, it seemed that this guy was the boss.
“It’s obvious. Fire Punch is God and I am Fire Wheel.”
“… … A fire wheel?”
“Then you become a sacrifice.”
A Gregory-style ritual——fire wheel punch.
The boss, who was hit by a fist wrapped in flames, flew away and slumped.
“Well, I still can’t get angry with this. I can’t tell if it’s because I’m a fire, so it’s a fiery temper or if it’s a situation that upsets me that much.”
The appearance of bandits in the airship trip was similar to encountering a group of balrogs while going to another place on a boat in the past foliage game.
In other words, meeting these guys was unlucky.
No, maybe they were just out of luck.
Because Raphael and I were on the boat.
And, perhaps seeing their boss fly away as it really is, the other guys were already kneeling down or shedding tears trembling.
“Arakat Almighty, save me. Arakat Almighty, save me. Arakat Almighty, save me.”
“Creator God, Heavenly God Arakat God, anyone please save me please please please please”
“Mom… … … .”
“Kick-kick-kick! giant worm! Bugs killed the boss! Fire Punch! Fire Punch! Fire Punch! That worm is a god!”
“… … The guys are the same.”
Maybe the effect was too good, it was very similar to the reaction of the guys who saw me for the first time.
The appearance of letting go of one’s mind because one cannot overcome fear and eventually entrusts one’s destiny to transcendent beings.
These guys are bandits and they’re targeting our ships… … .
“I wonder where the hell did you get the flying dragon?”
I shook my head and walked inward, ignoring the trembling and talking nonsense.
The target is the captain’s room.
I was thinking of capturing this ship.
“… … How much was the airship?”
It would be nice if it was just enough to repay the damage I lost to [Ghaul’s Merchant of All Things].
