224 – 224 – Boss Fight: Forged #1
224 – Boss Fight: The Forged #1
“Aww… !”
Therese screamed.
It sounded like an exclamation of pain or like a woman’s exclamation of joy.
Uluk, bulging -.
Under the armor of shadow cast by Enio, Therese’s body wriggled wildly.
It makes me wonder how the human body can twist and wriggle like that.
What the hell is going on under that black curtain?
Of course, it was possible to make a vague prediction.

Just as I, Victor, had to fall into ruin one day and become a lame boss, isn’t Therese now collapsing?
Maybe it was because I put my own quirks into my body.
Now, there was something I had to do before guessing.
“Be careful, Enio. I don’t know what will happen, but I’ll have to be prepared.”
Bondi Victor was the mid-boss in charge of the door in parts 1 and 2.
As he plays a big role, the boss fight is also quite serious.
The attacks are constantly raging, the party members are bursting out, and you have to be nervous anyway.
The most annoying is HP.
It takes quite a while to defeat 15 lines of 100.
As time passed, the condition of the allies gradually deteriorated and potions were consumed.
Of course, it’s the story of Victor who became a procrastinating mid-boss.
It’s the first time I’ve seen Therese’s case.
“Ahh… ! Power, power endlessly, hee hee hee… !!! My body hee hee hee… !!!”
Paaa-!
Finally, the armor of shadows wrapped around Therese’s body was shattered.
I wonder if the shell of an egg cooked in a microwave would burst like this–so horribly that I wondered.
What emerged beyond it was a terribly twisted arm.
The joints were misaligned, and the appearance of two arms and four hands sprouting from a single shoulder made it look more like a tree branch than a human arm.
“Um, what is that… !?”
Even Enio, who wasn’t taken aback at all, seemed very shocked by this bizarre appearance.
The human appearance was basically symmetrical left and right, but there was nothing that could be said to be standardized.
Why are the eyes right in the middle of the chest?
Is that part right for the chest in the first place?
“Me-what is that!”
“monster!”
“Run away!”
The people around them who were watching the fire started to run away.
Soon therese’s eyes widened and tilted her head.
“monster… ?”
Squeak.
A pool of water that everyone sprinkled to put out the fire.
Therese looked down at her own face reflected there.
“—————!!!”
Therese opened her torn mouth and let out a terrible scream.
It was a scream so high that even I wanted to cover my ears inadvertently.
It must have been that he wanted to stop screaming at the fact that his appearance had been tuned more strangely than he thought.
“I am, I am, I am… !!!”
Therese swung her arms wildly around her.
A rampaging monster.
Faced with the fate of having to fight him all-out, I lowered my stance and gripped the sword tightly in my hand.
“after.”
choose to breathe
What I have to cut off is not Therese, but myself.
Parbat-.

Just then, Therese sprang out quickly.
Not in the direction where Enio and I were, but in the opposite direction.
ran away?
No, it seems to be a little different from that, but anyway, I am rather embarrassed to see the guy quickly leaving this place.
“Enio, we have to go after him. You don’t know how many people will get caught up if things go on like this.”
“Is it because of me? Viktor-kun, is this because of me? I just covered the armor with shadows… !?”
Enio seemed quite shocked.
“Could it be that my Dark Dimension… .”
“No, it’s not your fault. maybe.”
I can’t be sure though.
I thought it wasn’t Enio’s fault that this happened.
The important thing right now is to follow Therese instead of arguing who is wrong.
However, Therese’s speed was faster than expected, and she disappeared from our sight before we knew it.
“Victor-kun, you must have already run away… !”
“It is a striking look. I’m sure you can find it nearby.”
In fact, when I looked at the people around me, “The monster… !” or “Hey, on the stairs going up to the ground… !
Using their screams as clues, I walked through the underground market and stopped at a fork in the road.
Huh, Enio asked while catching his breath.
“What? If you go to the left, it’s the stairs leading to the Ludens Academy district. If you go to the right, it’s going to the center of the city. Where would it have gone?”
It was as Enio said.
Both have stairs leading to ground level.
There were no people who could be helpful as eyewitnesses who had already fled.
What I saw then was a small marble.

Jiggle.
The size seems to be smaller than a little fingernail.
“Victor-kun, what is that… ?”
“It’s Therese’s thing.”
It’s a piercing on my ear.
I know because I’ve seen it often.
“It’s off here… . It makes sense that Thérèse headed for the central city.”
“Then you have to chase after me! In the middle of the city, there are a lot of civilians!”
Enio seemed to feel responsible for what might have happened because of him.
But I thought a little differently.
“Therese did not attack civilians. No one seems to have been attacked by Thérèse, although there have been cases of people running into each other and being injured.”
In other words, it seems to be saying that he is still maintaining his reason.
Even Viktor, who had originally become a monster, maintained his sanity to some extent during Phase 1.
They say lines and even share fragmentary conversations.
Therese must be in that state now.
“Anyway, Therese is a nun of the Holy Emperor’s Office. I won’t run amok enough to get civilians involved.”
Earlier, when I chose to put out the fire to rescue people rather than pursue heresy.
I thought Therese was not a bad person.
Even though they are at odds with me, there is only a difference in position.
“What we need to do now is to get people together first.”
The problem is phase 2, not phase 1.
It would be difficult to deal with only me and Enio.

I didn’t notice it when I was underground.
When I went outside, the morning sun was rising.
“Is it sunny?”
I already have a feeling that it will be a long day.
The school side is in a fairly peaceful state, probably not knowing what happened in the underground market last night.
Watching the students jogging, the events that had just taken place in the basement felt like a night’s dream.
But there was no time for sentimentality.
A situation where Therese does not know when and how to run out of control.
“Enio, you go towards the female dormitory. Go and call the guys who can help. I will go to the men’s dormitory and ask for help.”
“okay!”
Enio and I parted ways.
The place I’m heading to is the men’s dormitory.
There, they find people who can help solve this case.
Guys like Melvin, Dearmid, Jin and Luke.
“Victor, what are you doing this morning? Why are you like that?”
Then I could find Melvin and DeArmid playing badminton on the grounds in front of the men’s dormitory.
These guys are playing badminton from morning.
they are diligent
I lived thanks
“Your clothes are almost all singed. Did you even fight a dragon?”
At Diarmid’s question, I looked at myself.
It’s definitely out of shape, but it’s okay.
“A problem has occurred. A monster might run rampant in town. I need your help. We have to subdue people before they are harmed.”
As if my urgent persuasion had worked, both Melvin and Dearmid put down their rackets, regardless of whether they were holding them.
said Melvin.
“Looks like we don’t have enough time to explain. Where can I go?”
“If you go downtown, you will get a general idea of the situation! Since you’re a strong guy, it might be difficult for you alone. Where is Luke?”
I wondered if Luke was with him.
That guy should be quite powerful.
But Deermid shrugged his shoulders as he grabbed his sword.
“Well, he disappears somewhere every morning.”
is it.
can’t do it
Should I consider myself lucky just to have met Melvin and Dearmid?
I first ran towards the city with the guys.

Just before entering the city, we joined the women Enio had gathered.
The number is quite large.
There are Skadi, Hilde, and Shadi, executive committee members, in Victoria.
Is it a student council group?
“This Arnoi also exists… !”
I don’t think it will help much, but Arnoi was there too.
Also, there was an impressive woman with wavy hair, and I think it was Ishtar, the representative.
“Enio made a fuss and came out. I don’t know what’s going on this morning.”
Ishtar crossed his arms as he watched the city run away in confusion.
The slender eyes look quite tired.
did you not sleep well at night
“Hey, Victor! What are you doing again this morning!”
Victoria cries out.
Victorica also had dark circles around her white face, perhaps because she didn’t sleep well at night.
“What the hell did you and Enio do last night!”
“It takes a long time to explain. But Victoria, it’s nothing to do with you. In a way, you too may be deeply involved in this matter.”
“I?”
“Let’s go over there at once!”
Go to the place where the screams are heard the loudest.
It was where the church was located.
I soon found Therese banging on the door in front of the church building.
“Muh uh uh, uh uh, open it.”
Bang, bang, bang.
No, it was already too damaged to be called Therese.
What traces of the original can be found… , just a spade-shaped piercing hanging somewhere on the body. That one was originally on the belly button.
I don’t know how it got to the top of the left side——but at that hideous figure, Representative Ishtar frowned.
“It’s not elegant.”
Certainly, it is a monster that cannot be described as elegant even in passing.
Victoria also said, “What is that… !” in bewilderment.
“hehehehe… ! This Arnoi, I’m rooting for you from afar… ! It’s important to know that you’re never running away… !”
In the case of Arnoi, he had already fled that far.
If that’s the case, why did you come out?
Still, the fortunate thing is that Dearmid, Melvin, and Skadi have begun to burn their fighting spirit.
“It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve tried my best!”
“You can see a place to lose. How dare you make a fuss at the church where I serve every weekend?”
Originally, boss battles can only be entered with 4 or fewer players.
However, our number has already exceeded 4 people.
I knew that there were strange ‘restrictions’ or ‘rules’ in this world, so I decided to watch this situation with tension in many ways.
But, it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with it.
“Geueuuu… !”
Therese roars.
Letters soon appeared before my eyes.
