130. Phoenix
This huge tower quickly caught an intruder who had entered it. And just like sending white blood cells to the virus that has penetrated the body, they tried to block Ian and his party by activating traps or sending monsters.
It wasn’t easy.
“Is it because it is narrow? They are all creature type monsters.”
The living and breathing monster was poisoned by Shiira’s black mamba’s poison. Ifrit melted the monster with a hard upper that wouldn’t be able to get fangs in it.
Because of its excellent magic resistance, Ifrit’s attack didn’t work at all, Anna and Theresia smashed things like golems made of solid stones with simple physical force.
No matter how strong the golem was, it seemed that it could not be defeated by the physical force of just crushing it with a can.
woohoo-!
No matter how many times they had already broken the wall, Anna and Theresia climbed up, smashing a floor in almost a minute.
Of course, since the size of the tower was too large, it seemed obvious that it would take more than an hour to destroy it.
And if you stay in the tower for a long time, the tower will move when you feel that you have not been able to stop the intruders.
─Guoo… … .
Coo-oong, coo-oong-.
Completely ignoring the main attack that was attacking him, Matop moved his feet somewhere. Noah, who was looking out of the window, retrieved the spear and summoned him back inside the tower.
“Hmm- this guy is stronger than I thought.”
“I will. Because it is the Four Heavenly Kings.”
He wasn’t created to win alone. It was a decisive battle weapon for mankind that contained the power of the demon king.
It would have been a tower that would have wiped out mankind alone if it had not been for a summoned creature, but the existence of a summoned creature couldn’t do that.
So it must have been forced to roll around in the Demon Continent.
‘Don’t be pitiful.’
Ian decided to put this tower to rest, who had no idea how long it had been operating.
After Suzaku joined, the speed of the work of smashing the tower and going up has more than doubled.
Having already done quite a bit of smashing it, Geary Ian and his party arrived at the powerhouse of the horse tower.
-Woo… … .
“here… .”
“What is that?”
The children whispered as they looked at the complex machinery and computers. It was a very reasonable reason to have a culture that appeared only when the mechanical civilization developed to a certain extent.
It turned out that the other world was the Earth, and the demons were descendants of the extinct past humans, so it wasn’t the same reason they became common.
When collaborating with other games that featured a pretty girl with a gun, it was because there was a need for justification for the gun to appear.
‘For an odd reason… .’
There is no terrifying reason, and there is no rice cake, but an extremely profitable reason.
Thanks to this, the machinery in the mask of this mechanical civilization is not even a machine. Often there are no wires or complex circuits that machines should have.
This power source, flowing with magical power, works even if most of it is shattered.
However, when they are all destroyed, they stop moving.
‘So this is the most important protection facility of the horse tower, and there must have been an AI blocking it… .’
Its AI is nowhere to be seen. Ian was vigilant about the surroundings, and ordered him to just destroy it.
Empress, Suzaku, and Ifrit’s attacks start to destroy the power source in an instant. It is not something that can withstand defenseless attacks from four-star pets that can produce more power than a strategic bomber alone.
─Weeing-!
The tower, which was attacked, lit bright red lights in all directions, and spread a loud emergency sound that was deafening.
Woo woo woo!
“What, what!?”
The tower, which had been making a loud emergency sound, fell down as it was, and Ian and his party in the power room were rolling around and bouncing in all directions.
If it hadn’t been for Empress’s quick action, someone would have been injured while rolling.
The tower, which had been rolling for a while, stopped, and Ian, who was lying among the female bodies, pushed them away and got up slowly.
“… Did you stop?”
“maybe.”
The children got up, brushing the dust off their bodies, and carefully checked the outside. While the power source was cut off, the horse tower, which had lost the energy to fly, was lying on the side of the road.
Empress belatedly realized that the tower’s shield had disappeared.
“Summoner, I think I can go up to the top floor like this.”
“okay? Then let’s go.”
Empress, who heard the order, immediately took the party and moved to the top floor of the horse tower, that is, the place where the nucleus controlling this tower is located.
And there, he encountered a demon with horns on his head.
‘… That one.’
ominous As soon as that thought came to mind, Anna and Theresia stopped in front of the group in an instant.
The demon, who had pulled out his sword all of a sudden, raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the two of them.
─Oh… are you blocking
“No, maybe… Why is he here?”
-Did you know me?
When Ian noticed that he knew the identity of the demon, the demon began to shoot his eyes and slowly aim the sword.
—Then you will know what to do.
Watching the sword fluttering with magic, Ian repeated his name. He is the last of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Seocheon Demon Sword.
Richard Richard.
It was a monster that was said to possess a force comparable to that of a demon king with only one sword.
* * *
The gathering of two or more of the Four Heavenly Kings in one place. That is very rare. This is because, if you are a demon who is like the Four Heavenly Kings, you are in a hurry to recruit magic power in your territory.
How much less, unlike other demon tribes who absolutely obey the orders of the demon king, he is the same king in the field and even protests against the orders of the demon king.
‘Why are you here?’
So, he shouldn’t be here right now.
Even in the game, it was a boss monster that I barely met before catching the final boss, the Demon King.
It’s not something you’ll meet in a place like this, but a strong enemy you’ll have to meet after you’ve really prepared everything.
‘Cool time… How much is left?’
Ian began to measure the blue bird’s skill cooldown in his head. I just used it to check the Sky Horse Tower, so I couldn’t use it right away.
You could only use it once in every battle in the game, but in reality, the skill didn’t roll that way… … .
“… Master, take measures.”
“Master, if we don’t think quickly, we will die.”
Saying so, Anna and Theresia began to confront Richard. However, the two alone were not enough to stop Richard.
Shortly thereafter, summons such as Zuzak, Ifrit, Black Mamba, Pink, and Sylphy began to look after them.
I didn’t know what would happen if this happened. Ian thought so and tried to talk.
“… Don’t you just want to go?”
─Are you trying to negotiate? human?
Seeing Richard smiling as if having fun, Ian thought that maybe it would be okay.
Yes, that was just a thought. In reality, that didn’t happen at all. A screeching sound was heard.
authenticity of the sound? It was simple. In the meantime, Richard’s sword strike cut through Anna’s shield and cut her chest.
Considering that her job is a paladin, and therefore, she has high defense among summons, it was absurd.
“Anna!”
The barrier was broken in an instant. Ian was startled and looked at him. No, no matter how much the Four Heavenly Kings, can you slash a full-level 3-star summoned beast with a single blow?
Ian, who was looking around to see how such a thing was possible, quickly realized the reason.
‘f*ck… … .’
His gaze reached the AI spirit of the tower that had fallen in the distance. Somehow, even if the power source is attacked, they ignore it… .
Richard, who ate the core of the same Four Heavenly Kings, Heavenly Horse Tower, opened his mouth while pointing his sword.
─It’s fun. Let’s see how far we go
That meant that if he opened his mouth again, he would kill another summoned beast.
Of course, the summons don’t die. Even if you die, you can be resurrected. But there are exceptions. Heirlooms dropped after death, if the essence cannot be recovered, it cannot be summoned forever… .
“master… I am okay.”
“… The tank is the first to fall down and what does it say?”
You can’t lose Anna here. She’s the only tank in the party, and losing her means no matter how powerful your pets are.
had to run away But how?
“host.”
At that moment, Theresia grinned and looked at Ian. Ian met her eyes for a moment and noticed what she was thinking.
Realizing that Ian had noticed her thoughts, Theresia met Empress’s gaze. The two exchanged glances and nodded.
“Thanks so far, Master.”
“… Wait, you-.”
“I, the commander of the Order of the Phoenix. Theresia Erhard.”
Saying that, Theresia immediately activated her special skill. The skill that brings up the battlefield he suffered last time before dying, and thus enhances all his abilities.
“I am calling my last battlefield here.”
Whoops-!
The whole area is quickly turned to ashes. Just before the realm unfolded, Theresia said to Ian.
“To protect my lord! As long as I do not die, I will burn this body!”
A territorial proclamation was declared.
At the same time, Empress teleported with the rest of the party.
Richard, who watched the scene silently, smiled at Theresia.
─The last thing you want to say?
“The Order of the Phoenix does not die. me too.”
-Good.
Richard looked at the glorious knight and decorated her end.
