Episode 30 The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (12)
“Oh, it was like that! “There was no need to act this out.”
“That’s right. He said that when you get here, you should follow the devil’s side. “How can I help?”
Crack.
The sound of Luna grinding her teeth could be heard up to here. She also distanced herself from me.
“Well, that can’t be possible! Zero can’t do that!”
Even in this situation, Raimon stayed by my side.
Anyway, I don’t know why this guy is so loyal.
I didn’t do anything.
“Tsk tsk, it’s simple. “You just have to help me take root here.”
“Wasn’t it possible to do it alone? “It’s an early type of erosion, but I think it’s possible.”
“Mmm! Because I had an accident before I fell asleep. A holy sword… … I couldn’t even imagine it. So I lost most of my strength.”
“It’s a holy sword. “Where is it?”
“I don’t know. It was there before I fell asleep… … .”
A piece of the devil moved his only eye.
Everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
There were human bones and clothes. And there were traces of a broken sword.
“friend! friend!”
The parrot let out a sound that was close to a scream.
There was no need to hide it anymore. It is a trace of Luthers.
He died after a fierce battle with the devil’s faction.
That was part of the story created in the game.
“Kkkkk, it looks good. Well, I also took a lot of damage and had no choice but to take a break… … It doesn’t matter now. “Because you are here.”
“To what extent has your strength been restored?”
“Maybe about 20%? The only abilities that can be used are Erosion and Thorn Tentacles. Damn, how did I end up like this… … .”
Black tentacles wriggled around the devil’s piece.
A tentacle with a sharp tip like an awl. That was his method of attack.
“Well, can’t you move?”
“That’s right. The power of erosion is not what it used to be. I don’t think we can take up the space all at once. “If it weren’t for you, it would have been a really big problem.”
“Hmm, didn’t he have any other orders? Future plans… … .”
“hmm? The plan was to create a clone after completing me. At first glance, I heard that another plan was in progress in the pure white plains in the north of the empire… … wait for a sec.”
The devil’s piece moved its eyes once.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
“But why are you asking this? “You probably have a lot more information than I did while I was still asleep.”
Oh, that?
because… … .
“Hehe, because I am your enemy.”
“… … !!”
The guy’s pupils dilated.
So much so that we could all sense that he was surprised.
“Yiyiyyyy! “You look like a wicked human being!”
“Hehe, that’s stupid. Indeed, it is devilish. “They deserve to be called a race that can lie less well than humans.”
“What is this arrogant guy talking about! “Lies are of the devil!”
“Yes, please come out next devil. It’s no fun playing with losers… … .”
“This guy… … !”
The egg vibrated violently.
I was shaking so clearly that I was really angry.
It was time to watch it tremble.
Luna said, standing next to me again.
“good job. “I believed it from the beginning.”
“… … “Didn’t you grind your teeth earlier?”
“Ahaha… … W, it’s acting, acting! There’s no way I would betray my friend, right? “How was my acting?”
If it was acting, he could have achieved great success as an actor.
Next was Rodelin.
“Zero-kun, answer me one thing.”
“Please tell me.”
“How do you know that that guy is on the devil’s side?”
Did I say that?
It’s a mistake. But the excuses were plentiful.
“It said so on the door.”
“… … “A door?”
“yes.”
It’s not a joke, it’s really written that way.
They are sealing it here for a while to give the devil’s pieces time to recover.
‘It says not to wake it up for 50 years, but it would be counterproductive to say that even that can be read.’
Demon archeology is not as advanced a discipline as you might think.
Even if I tried to research it even a little, they said I was a warlock and burned me at the stake.
A study whose necessity has emerged only recently.
So it is right to be sparing with words.
“You damn human! “I’ll kill you all!!”
A black aura exploded from where the devil’s fragment was.
A roar that announces the start of battle.
At the same time, a blue window appeared before my eyes.
[Hidden Quest]
-Defeat the devil’s pieces.
Reward: 300 exp, 30 gold
Penalty: Death
There are also hidden quests in this game.
Because it is an old game that initially revolves around quests and conversations.
At this level, the rewards are generous for Episode 1. But I didn’t feel good.
‘Is this already a death penalty? There seems to be a significant level difference.’
The fact that the penalty is death means that there is a situation in which a more severe penalty cannot be given.
What would be the point of giving a stat reduction or other penalties after death? After death anyway.
In other words, the difficulty level was too high to clear with my current specs, and it also meant that it was close to a bad ending.
Could it be said to be a friendly reminder to be especially careful when playing?
‘Information window.’
[Devil’s Piece: S]
Lv: 39
Strength: 58
Agility: 39
Intelligence: 18
Stamina: 350
Horsepower: 250
Alignment: Evil
A work created through someone’s research. It appears to have been made by someone with considerable skill.
It gradually encroaches on its surroundings and destroys everything.
It has great malice toward humans.
Currently, many of his abilities have decreased due to the influence of the Holy Sword.
Possessed skills: [Space Control S], [Erosion B], [Magic Art B], [Corrosion D]
“I will kill you all!!”
Phew!
Jet-black thorns shot towards me.
If you get hit by that, you’ll die like that guy said.
Because my level is only 12.
but.
‘My kids are a bit strong.’
Kagang! visor!
Rodelin and Luna broke the thorns heading towards me.
Although Luna is of a low level, she is a child with specs equivalent to that of a leading lady.
Since you caught the hidden slime with me, your level will be higher than usual.
‘Because it is an attack-specialized character, its attack power is also strong.’
This means that although it may lack defense and stamina, it has plenty of attack power.
Moreover, the devil’s piece is weak compared to its specifications due to the influence of the holy sword.
So, it was not strange for Luna to destroy the thorn in one go.
“Turn the earth over!”
“One flash!”
Boom!
Kagagak!
A sword strike that causes the ground to turn over and light flashes.
A trickle of blood flowed from the devil’s body.
There is damage, but it is minimal.
This is because the devil’s part defended itself by erecting thorns.
“Tsk!”
“Ugh!”
At the same time, Rodelin and Luna stepped back.
That’s not all. The arms and legs turned pale purple.
This is because of the [Space Control] and [Erosion] skills possessed by the Devil’s Faction.
‘Erosion has a low skill level, but the damage is stronger due to the space control skill.’
To be precise, the efficiency of stats and skills increases in the area declared as one’s own space.
The ground that is currently stained dark red is a space where [space control] has been successfully achieved.
And gradually that space will increase.
‘In the game, if you take erosion damage three times in a row, you die instantly.’
Three times in a row.
In other words, if it goes out of range, it will be reset.
Therefore, the stagnant people used three characters to take turns distributing and attacking the damage.
‘Of course, a minimum amount of stamina is also required.’
Even when it is subject to erosion, it also suffers damage.
Rodelin and Luna took a step back again.
Dangerous.
Rodelin will be fine, but Luna’s blood will be in trouble.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkk! “I will kill you all!”
“Miss Luna, step back. “I will deal with it alone.”
“shit… … !”
But it is time for Rodelin to step down as well.
It has been eroded twice now.
As if to prove it, the erosion had reached up to his neck.
“Everyone please come this way.”
“Zero-kun, the area of erosion is getting wider. If there is a delay… … .”
“There is a way. “I’ll explain it to you, so come here.”
Luna immediately stepped back, and Rodelin thought for a moment and then came to my side.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … Human bastards. Yes, it’s no use. This body… … .”
“Please be quiet. “Can’t you see we’re in a meeting?”
“You arrogant human! “I will kill you right now!”
“I know it’s out of range. “I don’t even have legs, so I can’t move.”
“… … .”
Wow!
We pulled out the thorn, but it got stuck 20 meters away from where we were.
The Devil’s Piece said, ‘Hmm, I woke up after a long time and my joints are not the same as usual. I should stretch,’ he said, sticking thorns around himself.
I guess he was embarrassed too.
We agreed to understand the situation as it was our own situation.
“How are you feeling?”
“Actually, it’s a bit dangerous… … hmm?”
Rodelin moved her body.
Soon after, the purple-stained skin returned to its original state.
“It appears to be different from what is on the frontier, perhaps because it is an early form of erosion.”
“Right. “It eats away at your body quickly, but it seems to have poor staying power.”
“Hehe, premature ejaculation. “It’s a shame.”
Rodelin’s face turned red.
I’m not immune to really dirty things.
‘I don’t have premature ejaculation, I’m just tired after waking up for the first time in a while. Ah, I’m just talking to myself, but just know for now.’ I heard a muttering from somewhere.
Are demons sensitive to this too?
“Let me explain the strategy. If you get attacked twice, just back away. “You will have to wait outside the erosion area until it has fully recovered.”
“I understand. But offense is the problem.”
“I will remove the eroded land. So please protect me until then.”
“… … Does this mean that the eroded land will be removed? “That is impossible.”
Rodelin was the first person on the frontier where erosion began.
So you probably know it well. Erosion is impossible to eliminate.
Since it can only be removed with enormous divine power, we can say that Rodelin’s words are correct.
but.
“I can’t say that’s complete erosion. It’s an early type. So we can get rid of it.”
“… … That’s right. “Then how do you get rid of it?”
He smiled and raised his right hand.
My weapon was there.
Very big and beautiful… … A mop.
“… … “I guess not.”
Rodelin’s expression turned bitterly cold.
But that is true.
“Let’s clean it. “That dirty land.”
An unlucky skill acquired by paying 100 potential points.
With the power of [Cleaning S].

Parrot’s Diary #4
“friend!”
The ground suddenly collapsed. It flew towards the falling Lutus.
I was falling much faster than my speed.
‘Damn, damn, damn!’
Slurp!
“Keuuk!”
Lutus screamed.
Fortunately, he didn’t die. This is because there were plants piled up in layers.
“friend!”
“Ugh… … I’m okay. “What is this place anyway?”
Plants turned black.
The place is full of dead plants.
The atmosphere was also somewhat gloomy.
“huh? That… … .”
The earth dyed dark red. There was a black egg in the center.
“What kind of guy are you?”
A huge eye protruded from the black egg.
At the same time, a black aura overtook us.
Dying like this… … .
Woe!
It was when I thought I was dead. Light emanated from the sword Luthus was holding.
“Holy sword… … !”
“Aaaah!!”
The black egg let out a painful scream.
At the same time, hundreds of thorns were shot towards us.
‘Is that the devil…? … !’
Boom-!
Wow!!
The divine light emitted as Luthus swings his sword.
Hundreds of thorns melted and fell apart.
There was nothing more to say. The battle has begun.
Kagagak!
“damn!”
Luthus was unreachable. He is only focused on blocking attacks.
Even though I am a parrot, I have seen a lot of sparring.
There is no chance of winning. If things continue like this, we will lose.
Did you realize that? Lutus said to me.
“Bring someone. “I will hold on until then.”
Can not be done. That can’t be possible.
I can’t leave you, my friend, behind. We can just run away together, you idiot!
Did he sense my feelings?
Lutus said with a bright smile.
“Because I don’t want children to get hurt.”
“… … .”
“You’re definitely going to bring someone. I can trust you because you are my friend. It’s a team effort, remember?”
Team play.
right. We can win.
We can’t win alone, but we can win.
I’ll be back soon. therefore.
Just hold on a little longer, my friend.
It flew faster than anyone else.
The floor had returned to its original state, but there was a gap created when the holy sword was pulled out, so they were able to escape.
He shouted as he jumped to the ground.
“devil! Help me! devil!”
help! The devil has appeared!
“friend! “Save me!”
Please save my only friend.
please.
