69 – Show your strength, Cooking Research Society! (5)
Seeing the four of us gathering in a circle, putting our heads together and whispering something, we naturally smiled.
Yes, that’s what the right party looks like. I ended up playing a villain completely unintentionally, but it was rather good. If you can bring unity by playing the villain for a while, you can do more.
‘I wonder if this guy is doing well.’
There is nothing to do anyway. No, strictly speaking, there are two of them.
Hakel and Einberg, who had been taken over by the 4th stage of deception, that is, as many as four of the sixth senses, have not come to their senses even though quite some time has passed since the battle began.
“Damn it! What the hell is real Ugh! Smell!”
Hakel swings his sword, suppressing his jumbled sense of self. But could that be possible? Being so tough is admirable.
I must have been the one who was deceived by Poache the most? That’s what I assure you, that’s crazy.
Being disturbed, it seems to pop out of nowhere, and suddenly farts in front of your face.
However, if you come to know, the person himself doesn’t even budge from his place. Everything is just an illusion that feels real because the senses are disturbed.
Those who fight Poache are no different from fighting an imaginary enemy.
“Huh? Are you here?”
At least Einberg is making a good save. He was also an experienced and sensitive fellow, and little by little he was figuring out how to resist deception.
It runs across space at tremendous speed, wielding a spear and a scythe.
Why do you use such a weapon when you are a wandering ‘swordsman’? It’s simple, that becomes a sword.
Insert a spear into a round hole drilled in a scythe to make a two-handed sword. In this way, the crudely made sword is transformed into a huge greatsword by covering the blade with mana.
‘It was really cool.’
I was a fan of Einberg a lot. Because he realized that he must be Gilchi.
Let’s turn our gaze again and turn to our clowns, who are ashamed of where they are presented.
“Puhahahahaha!!”
Poache, who is far away from the two people who are cutting in the air, is laughing while holding his stomach.
That must be fun. Even if I could only control one point of view, I could come up with hundreds of pranks I could do.
Oh, I envy you. Is there any way I can use that ability?
“I waited a long time!”
I got out of my thoughts at Rakkad’s cry and got up. The members, who had been gathering in a circle, are forming formations and burning their will to fight against me.
‘As expected, Lacard.’
Charisma worthy of the next emperor of the empire. How did you get those gangs together?
If I had Racard’s charisma, I would have been able to control the atmosphere of the club without doing anything like this.
“Thank you for waiting! Now, we will show our strength as we wish!”
“Good.”
First of all, just recognizing each other as colleagues is a great harvest. Even that alone was sufficient for entering the dungeon.
While secretly handing over mana to Professor Luctae, her Leadership stat was also filled up.
‘Now I just need to finish well.’
I listened to La Crucio while contemplating whether to fight moderately and lose or run away.
“Then I will go.”
[ Where!? Are you going to the blacksmith with me? ]
Shut up.
I didn’t think I would move first, so I jumped out toward Serien, who was standing at the forefront of the formation, just like before.
The sound of metal clashing echoed again, and Serien took a step back. I do not tolerate that retreat and swing my sword one after another.
Four solid silver lines cutting through the air in an instant.
‘Quadruple Hit’
The same martial arts as earlier hit Serien’s heavy shield rudely. Unlike Serien, who fell back at her first blow, this time he succeeded in defending everyone on the spot.
When I glanced at her, Nemenia was creating a barrier around herself and her Tinya Sif while at the same time strengthening Serien.
‘Improvement right away is a good attitude.’
But if you do that, Tinyashif will be blocked by the shield and you won’t be able to use magic on me.
“Hmm!”
This time, Lacard also went on the offensive. I dug into exactly the point where my martial arts ended and used martial arts.
‘One Island’
It is the most basic stabbing skill, but its speed alone is faster than any other skill.
It’s a skill I usually use with a rapier, but it’s a very appropriate choice since it’s aimed at my gaps.
I twisted my wrist and deflected the tip of his sword with the blade. The problem is this:
Even Rakkad wouldn’t have taken this light blow as a trump card. So, the attack that follows is the real target.
“Shock Bolt.”
Of course, Racard paid attention to my hand, but the magic manifested from his toes landed on his shoulder.
“Heh, hehehe…!”
Even though his body is paralyzed, he looks at me with eyes full of astonishment. Is this the first person to use magic with their feet? I understand. It wasn’t even implemented in the game system.
This is the result of Aisha’s heartless lessons.
“Magic uses the mana inside the body anyway, so why do I have to use it manually?”
Rather, I said it as if I couldn’t understand it.
Thanks to that, I can use magic anywhere on my body. It’s because it’s hard to break stereotypes, and this is quite convenient.
‘Then next…’
I looked away in anticipation of what my next goal would be, and saw Serien swinging a buckler at me.
Apparently, on the premise that Tinyashif’s magic worked for me, it seems that she intends to leave her magic as a last resort.
In the meantime, the two people strengthened by Nemenia’s castle law will create a decisive gap between me. It’s a bit lame, but it’s an acceptable tactic.
Contemplating whether or not to let it pass, I slowly leaned back to avoid Serien’s buckler.
I heard a jingle, and countless gold coins poured in front of my eyes.
‘Gold coins?’
As she swung her buckler, Serien scattered the gold coins she was holding in her hand, blocking her vision for a moment.
To be honest, I was embarrassed. Gold coins came out of nowhere in this serious phase?
That’s not the reason.
‘Fusion skill?!’
I knew the meaning of this action.
Tinyashif, who had been watching from behind until now, poured out mana at once.
“Now, Nyan!!”
At that moment, the gold coins that Serien had scattered melted and transformed into a giant tiger. A tiger clad in scorching flames roared and attacked me from close range.
The greater the amount you pay, the stronger the power, so unlike before, you can definitely feel the pain. In addition, it is not easy to defend against being hit in the chest with magic in a defenseless state.
“Yaaa!!”
Without missing the chance, Serien pushed me hard with her kite shield and pushed me back. Thanks to her, she was engulfed in flames and the impact of her shield threw her behind her.
“Heuk!”
After rolling on the dirt floor a couple of times, he sprawled out. Nara also took quite a bit of damage this time. I never thought I would see the fusion skill of Serien and Tinyashif already.
‘Wow… Really.’
I swung my hand away from the flames and smiled contentedly.
‘Perfect.’
Even though the attack was perfectly hit, the light of the boundary has not yet been erased.

My mouth started to twitch without my knowledge as I met the eyes of the four people who were determined to die for me.
It’s not just good skills. His ability to judge situations, which was unknown when he encountered the game, is also excellent.
Even in a situation where they didn’t like each other, they used their fusion skills without hesitation to put pressure on me.
I got more income than I expected. How can you be happy?
‘Now… Then.’
It would be polite for me to prepare myself.
“Crick,” He whispered softly, holding La Crucio sideways, enjoying the sound of the blade scraping the stone floor.
“La Crucio.”
[ Cache! If you don’t tell Naki, it’s a joke! If you don’t call me kindly, I won’t even listen to the owner!]
Bastard.
I feel sorry for myself now, so I do as I am told. You really will definitely take it to the blacksmith next time. Not a wedding, but a funeral.
“…Naki.”
[ Hey! Why call me, master! ]
“Double allowed. Liberate Ancient Mode.”
[ Eh… Really? ]
Then it’s real, son of a b*tch.
As I shook my sword blade as if to bruise it, Naki hesitantly spoke out.
[They… Don’t look that strong? Aren’t you too strong? What if it collapses here? Can’t it just be ‘dragomod’? ]
“At that time, I take care of myself.”
You only need to properly adjust the output. I just want to make a threat. Fighting while limiting mana is frustrating.
[Well… If the owner says so. ]
Slowly handing over authority to La Crucio.
Suu…
Slowly fill your lungs with air.
Whoa…
With my exhalation, I shake off the impurities clinging to my heart.
The four great ancient feats of La Crucio, which should never be used lightly because of the heavy burden that comes back to me.
Contrary to my nervousness about her, she shouts cheerfully.
[La Crucio! My master’s faithful servant, Naki! Respond to the call of the one and only owner who has never been before and will never be! ]
Right after that, two of the four jewels on the back of La Crucio’s nose lit up.
Vivid bright red as if it contained the pulsation of life and blue light that retains the eternal vitality of nature were emitted at the same time and bounced into the air.
The two symbolic lights, spiraling round and soaring, accepted each other’s colors, harmonized, and finally gave off a new purple glow.
The primeval brilliant light was so sublime and holy that it deserved to attract everyone’s attention here.
Didn’t even I prepare my heart by worshiping toward that light?
[Temporary opening of two feats sealed in this body! Two of the four powers that existed in the beginning! ]
“That power must be the power to drive away the black clouds brought by the three evil gods.”
[ That’s why! The primeval will gladly responds to the master’s call! ]
The light, which eventually became one, slowly falls from the air onto my head like a feather.
I opened my palms, stretched out my arms as hard as I could, and held the light in my hands.
Then the light began to scatter in all directions, increasing the brilliance from the hand of the one to whom the power was granted.
[In the hands of my one and only love, the owner, I will shine the glorious karma that existed in the beginning again! That’s the name! ]
Engraving a dazzling purple aura on the retina in the palm of your hand, taking a deep breath and evening your breath. Raise the hand holding the substance of light.
Quaang!
I hit La Crucio’s blade with all my might.
Then, a purple aura came out and began to swirl around La Crucio’s blade as if it were being coated. Overwhelming power no matter who sees it.
Ego Sword La Crucio’s ability that made even the dragon tremble in fear, making all the abilities of the user more than double.
“La Crucio… Ancient Mode.”
Even when dealing with dragons, he wore a huge power that he did not often show up and turned his gaze to them.
“Fight against your determination… I will use my own power.”
Now, in front of you is an absolute strong man.
Just as I did when I fought against the dragons in the Frozen Blood War… Suffering will lead you to the heavenly path.
“Once again… I look forward to your strength.”
Very slowly, I aimed my sword at my future allies.
