Episode 259

Episode 259. Invasion of Carpathia (15)

Swoosh- boom!

thud!

A wind bug flying in the sky fell before my eyes.

A wind bug that boasts a size so large that it makes the ground shake slightly.

Just looking at it gave me goosebumps all over my body, but there was no need to worry.

‘Because he’s already dead.’

His head was blown off by the Manatan that Reze had thrown.

chin-.

Luna put one leg on top of the wind bug’s body and smiled in satisfaction.

“Hmm~ As expected, it’s our Reje. What a great performance. What would have happened if he hadn’t been there? We would have been in big trouble. Ah~ It’s really fortunate that Reje is here. Isn’t it?”

Luna poked my side with her elbow.

It means to acknowledge Regé as a true comrade.

Luna knew that I didn’t like Reze, so it was natural for her to appeal to me in this way.

but.

“Hehe, don’t you think it’s because you trained hard? I was the one who changed your weapon too.”

“Was it? Well, whatever. I just wanted to prove that I could do it.”

It was just as Luna said.

Although he pointed out the facts, it was an undeniable fact that Reze was currently performing well.

Kill six of the eight wind bugs, one per turn?

It was impossible even for a main character with high stats. This was because there was a limit to ‘positioning’.

As far as I know, no user has ever been able to play like that.

‘But that rabbit did it.’

The more I think about it, the stranger the character becomes.

Anyway, all the wind bugs are dead, and the only thing left is the named monster of Area 2, ‘Kroga’.

‘Now all we have to do is wait for Yuridia’s Demon Slave casting.’

In fact, it was a certainty that the casting would be completed. There was no way to stop Yuridia’s casting on the other side.

There is Kroga’s [Wind Spear] that activates every two turns, but Yuridia is currently hiding behind a rock.

It was impossible to interfere with the casting of Yuridia.

“Die, you damn bugs!”

Kwagagagagak-!

Wind spears flew all over the battlefield, but everyone was hiding behind rocks.

There were no casualties.

[Turn 13]

[The fire demon Balamga appears in Area 3.]

An alarm went off, indicating that a third demon had appeared before my eyes.

A new demon has appeared before we even defeated the demon in Area 2.

But I wasn’t flustered.

‘Because it’s as calculated.’

As mentioned before, Area 2 is where the most turns are consumed due to the nature of the gimmick.

After quickly defeating the Earth Demon Amonga and reaching Area 2, even if you take the optimized route by placing rocks, it takes 14-15 turns to reach Area 3.

This means that it is common for them to join after the appearance of Balamga, the demon of District 3.

‘It’s enough if we get there before the Victorian faction takes the devil’s breath away.’

The fire demon Balamga dies 10 turns after appearing.

This means that if you can reach Area 3 before Turn 22, you can obtain the ‘Aura of Fire’.

‘Of course, if you think about the 4th district, it should be much faster than that.’

The water demon Mabelga, the District 4 demon and the final target of this episode.

Although there were some minor(?) problems in areas 1 and 2, I had no intention of giving up.

‘The end is in sight for Yuridia’s Demon Slave.’

Turn 15, when [Demon Slave] activates, and then the next turn, turn 16. That was the turning point.

“Miss Luna, let’s move forward.”

“huh.”

Sasa-sak-!

He moved quickly, bending his back, and hid behind a rock.

“Hmm? I think something like a cockroach passed by… … .”

Kroger muttered as he scratched his head.

It’s ugly, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Could you say it’s the sadness of a melee character who can only attack from close range?

This turn, Reze did not attack.

‘I warned you in advance from the carriage.’

If you are not confident that you can defeat the enemy in one blow, do not attack recklessly, and attack together with others when they attack.

This was advice that took into account Reze’s characteristic of leaving the battlefield when attacked.

Moreover, this episode is a battlefield with continuous battles between areas 1 to 4.

‘If you leave even one of the battlefields in District 4, it’s over.’

I was careful to keep it close to brainwashing, as it could potentially blow up an entire episode.

The cautious Rejeeni will stop attacking for the time being.

[14 turns]

As I was timing my move, someone grabbed my sleeve tightly.

It was Luna.

“Sorry. I have to be active too… … .”

Are you sorry for not being of any help?

But contrary to Luna’s thoughts, I was quite satisfied.

‘Currently, Luna’s level is 1.5 times that of the main characters.’

It was a dazzling growth. In particular, the stats were close to 1.8 times.

Considering that the main characters’ stats are relatively high, this was quite surprising.

‘I guess the Fleur family is still practicing the rites even when we can’t see them.’

Zone 2 is a flying demon so it cannot be used effectively, but it will show off its dazzling abilities in zones 3 and 4.

So, let’s try to give some encouragement here.

“it’s okay.”

“huh?”

“I believe in you. Always.”

“What, what are you saying… … . Do you think I’ll be happy just because you said something like that?”

Luna punched me in the arm.

The action was violent, but I could tell.

‘I’m happy.’

Contrary to what he said, he was at a loss for words at the compliment I gave him.

‘Are you the type that is weak to compliments? Come to think of it… … I don’t think I’ve ever really complimented you before?’

It couldn’t be helped. Every time I tried to compliment him, he would bite me.

‘Well, it’s also because there was nothing to praise.’

Since Luna is the type who causes accidents even if you just look away for a moment, I didn’t have many opportunities to praise her.

Still, I think I should give her some praise sometimes.

‘You can eat this much rice! Are you a digestive genius?’, ‘You chew it slowly. You must be an adult!’, wouldn’t something like that be okay?

Well, that’s a great compliment to anyone. Maybe I’m just a genius at giving compliments?

Sasa-sak-!

“Haha, that was a great move, Miss Luna. You’re a genius at moving.”

“What, what are you talking about? Put your head down. A spear is flying.”

Kwak-kak!

Kroga’s [Wind Spear], which activates every even turn, got stuck in the rock.

I watched it closely. No, I’ve been watching it closely since a while ago.

Because now it will be a skill you will never see again.

[15 turns]

This is the turn that Yuridia’s [Demon Slave] activates.

Woohoo-.

As if to prove that fact, the mana on the battlefield was shaking around Yuridia.

“… … I swear, here and now, by your name, forgotten and buried in the flow of time.”

Crimson mana gathered from the two hands that Yuridia was gathering, and at the same time, a creepy sound echoed throughout the battlefield.

Beep beep beep!

This is the sound of mana going through the compression process.

It was no different from Mana’s scream.

“We will see the match after Miss Luna and Miss Yuridia’s magic has been unleashed. Get ready.”

“But I have no way to attack. That guy flies.”

“Haha, I’ll take care of that. And I’ll also release the seal on ‘Ilseom’ for you.”

“You should have done it a long time ago! Devil, you’re screwed!”

Is it because I can use my secret weapon after a long time, or is it because I can be active too?

Luna hummed and took a stance.

Beep beep beep!

Mana’s screams grew louder. It was evidence that the activation was imminent.

‘Since casting started on turn 11, it will activate at the end of turn 15.’

[Demon Slave] is a powerful spell, but with Yuridia’s current stats, it will not be able to kill the named demon in one shot.

Of course, I have no complaints even if Yuridia kills me.

‘If I can secure one more turn, it’s a good deal.’

Although there will be a slight loss of experience points, the important thing in this episode is increasing skills using ‘Turn’ and [Predation].

It was at that time that I was waiting for the casting of Yuridia to be completed.

Boom!!

“Huh!”

A manatan flew in from somewhere and hit Kroga on the back. At the same time.

“Let us combine our strengths and show the power of great despair!”

Yuridia spread her hands wide.

Demon Slave!

Kukwakwakwakwa-!!

A crimson firestorm that started from Yuridia’s hand engulfed Kroga.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!!”

The firestorm continued for a long time.

After about 15 seconds, crimson sparks scattered across the battlefield.

[16 turns]

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

Kroger was not dead. Kroger, his entire body charred, breathed heavily in the sky.

“You’re still flying? Your wings must be strong.”

“Haha, we evolved to survive. Isn’t that what it is? Anyway, I’ll proceed according to plan.”

“……be careful.”

Turn 16 is an even turn. This means it is the turn that Kroga’s [Wind Spear] activates.

As melee characters, we have to get out from behind the rock and approach in order to attack.

But what if you can’t finish it?

Instead, it will be us who suffers.

Luna was concerned about that.

“It’s okay. I trust Miss Luna.”

“… … You always speak so well. Don’t worry. If something happens, I’ll protect you with my whole body.”

How can I possibly block it with that small body?

‘Well, the Wind Spears fly exactly one per person, so I can’t stop them.’

After giving a small smile, he started running.

Currently, Kroga’s blood is clearly below 50%. The second gimmick has been activated.

‘After your health reaches half, Wind Spear can break rocks.’

In this way, the characters gradually become unable to avoid the Wind Spear and fall down one by one.

But that doesn’t matter to us at all right now. This turn.

‘I’m going to finish it.’

Kroger, who had discovered me, raised his face.

“You… … !”

I had no intention or time to talk.

He immediately raised his hand, designated a target, and cast the skill.

The skill I chose is.

Wind Spear.

Tookkak-!!

“Ugh!”

The spear of wind pierced Kroga’s body.

[Imitation of God] is a skill that allows you to ‘imitate all skills you have witnessed with your own eyes.’

It’s a skill that can imitate Charon and Adonis’s skills, but Kroga’s skills?

Of course, it was within the ‘acceptable range’.

“Magic!?”

“Oh, how! You weren’t a prosecutor?”

The magic duo were surprised and fell over. They are really emotional kids for extras.

thud!!

Croga is thrown to the ground. He is not dead.

A flying monster will be judged as ‘unable to fly’ when its health falls below 10% or when it is affected by an abnormal status.

Since the ‘Wind’ series of magic comes with the ‘Cutting’ status effect, Kroger is currently in both cases.

‘Actually, I didn’t have to get off the rock.’

But to encourage Luna and give her confidence, I chose to get off the rock.

Knowing that, Luna passed by me and shouted.

“Kill me!”

Well, for a thank you note, it’s a bit(?) brutal.

‘Well, this is Luna.’

As soon as Luna’s sword was pulled out, the surrounding light was instantly sucked in.

and.

A single ray of light shot at Kroga.

The first secret of the House of Leicester.

A flash.
