My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well chapter 71
71 – Clash (2)
“Ah!”
“La Tale!”
The left arm of the vampire called La Tale was blown off in an instant.
It was Karin’s main magic sword, the [Sword of Speed].
Karin has excelled in all areas of swordsmanship since her academy days, but no matter what anyone says, her specialty is ‘speed’.
She prefers to make a difference in power with her speed advantage, and enjoys blocking the enemy’s next move with quick movements.
So, the type of sword I mainly use is a light and small rapier.
The [Sword of Speed], a magic sword that expresses such fighting characteristics to the extreme, was the equivalent of adding wings to her swordsmanship.
“Such a dog… ?!”
La Tale, who had been swearing in pain, stopped talking in a moment of embarrassment.
Even the sword he had struggled to hold with his free hand dropped in vain.
An intense magical shock hit his body without warning.
Latale shuddered and trembled, then knelt on the ground.
‘It works well right away.’
I immediately figured out what that was.
The possessed magic [Late Shock] inherent in [Lightning Rapier].
Karin blew off her left arm with the [Sword of Speed], and at the same time caused [Late Shock] belatedly from the wounds the sword had touched.
More than five or six electric charges exploded at once, discharging shock.
An intense electric shock that seems unbearable at first glance.
It was difficult for La Tale, who had already lost one part of her body and moaned in pain, to endure it.
“Latele-sama… !!”
The vampire who had crossed swords with me called him with a voice full of despair.
I was stunned for a moment by the lack of tension.
… Aren’t you ignoring me too much?
No matter how much his main job is an alchemist, as a scion of the Philip family, his swordsmanship is not pushed anywhere.
Although it was unusual for a vampire to handle a sword, it wasn’t enough to attack Karin and me with pure skill.
Taking advantage of his carelessness, I stabbed my sword straight into it.
For a more reliable blow, it was an attack with a [Sword of Force].
“Keugh?!”
“I understand why you failed. There is never a moment when I am not vigilant.”
After slicing through his chest full of gaps, he said as if complaining.
It wasn’t a story I was told to listen to.
I’m going to continue the next attack like this and kill it for sure.
On his neck, who collapsed in vain after allowing the attack…
I ended up stabbing the sword once more.
“Kreuk… .”
“… … .”
His breath completely stopped with a grotesque sound.
I just felt bad for nothing.
Although I was taken aback by the surprise attack, the difference in level between Karin and me was clear.
It didn’t take very long to fight properly.
It was unbelievable that he had lost the academy professor and the party’s precious power, the cleric, to these guys in vain.
There is never a moment when you are not careless.
That was actually what he said to me too.
It seems that I was unknowingly excited about the fact that the vampire’s magic traps were all turned into nothing with things prepared in advance.
The response to what happened later was not quick and neat.
Of course, the option of a spy hidden among party members attacking the rear was too difficult to predict.
“Sacher, are you hurt?”
After Karin finished off the vampires like me, she approached me with an urgent face.
“huh. How is your sister?”
“I’m fine… I lived thanks to you, Sacher. The Tarnhelm you gave me blocked the vampire’s surprise attack.”
[Tarnhelm] was given to me just in case to prevent the unexpected attack of the lycanthrope.
I missed the intention, but fortunately the result was good.
It seemed that the [Tarnhelm] blocked the first blow that the vampire showed up.
As expected, it seemed to be a more suitable armor for Karin than for me.
“I’m really glad… . A good blacksmith’s shop will probably fix the crack. Since it’s an ancient artifact, blacksmiths are very interested in it, so take care of it and entrust it.”
“uh? Are you giving it to me?”
“of course. That helmet, noona used it the best.”
“I didn’t lend it to you just for this operation… ?”
“I changed my mind. It suits my sister best. In my opinion, noona threw away too many things for speed. Tarnhelm will make up for that.”
Karin is a knight who focuses on speed.
Articles that mainly deal with speed must be fast, and in order to be fast, they must be light.
Of course, the armor is worn considering convenience, and the defense power is inevitably weakened.
Of course, most of the warriors who handle swordsmanship do not overinvest in defense.
No matter how well-refined and heavy armor is, the reality is that it is easily cracked by high-level magic attacks.
But even so, knights need armor.
It is difficult to predict what variables will occur during the battle with the demons.
… Like the ambush of the vampires we just encountered.
[Tarnhelm] will be an important armor for Karin, blocking such unexpected variables in the future.
-Gaaa!!
while talking for a while.
The howling of the frenzied lycanthropes rang out.
Karin and I met our eyes at the same time.
“let’s hurry!”
“huh… !!”
The union of lycanthropes and vampires.
We cut out the traitors as quickly as possible, but we were still at a disadvantage.
It was necessary to hurry up and join the formation of the party.
* * *
The situation at the party was not so good.
With the help of the [Dispel Stone], large-scale magic traps were turned to nothing, but the battle was still at a disadvantage due to the inferiority in numbers.
The total number of people in the lycanthrope capture party is 17.
There are 9 drivers and 8 support staff.
Two of them disappeared as spies for vampires, and even knights included in the nine.
In addition, a professor from the Department of Divinity among the support staff was also killed by a vampire.
The number of frontline personnel was reduced to 7, and the number of support personnel was also reduced to 7.
On the other hand, the number of lycanthropes gathered in the empty lot at the beginning of the dungeon was about thirty.
The number of vampires who assisted them with magical support was approximately twenty.
It was a difference of more than three times.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Just as Karin and I lightly dealt with the two vampires, we have the upper hand in single combat.
However, with such a difference in numbers, it was not an easy battle even for the veteran professors.
“Never leave the formation protecting the wizards! If the wizards are defeated, it’s all over!”
Dean of Darunstud, who faced the five Lycanthropes at the forefront.
He uses his special skill, the [Sword of Mount Tai], and maintains his position without losing his balance even in battles with many.
In addition, there are no superfluous instructions given.
‘Exactly.’
He knew exactly the essence of combat.
Even the advanced knights, and the ignorant Lycanthrope.
In the current situation of fighting in a state of trance, the most vulnerable is magic-like magic attacks.
The opponent is a twenty-year-old vampire.
We have three wizards, plus additional support personnel.
On the surface, it was an overwhelming difference in numbers, but inside, there was a clear difference in level beyond that.
The title of academy professor was by no means an ordinary and easily attainable position.
Boom- Thuqwaang-
High level magic such as [Explosion] and [Tempest] embroidered the heavens and the earth.
Even in the unfavorable war situation, the powerful magic of the magicians was knocking on the gaps of the demons countless times.
“While performing offensive magic, the magical defense must also be cast at the same time! You never know when the vampire’s magic will fly! And Professor Python!”
“yes!”
“You, as much as possible, Professor Meline and Dean Tariere!”
“All right!!”
The role of Professor Ranger Python was to protect the support staff, Professor Melin and the Dean of the Faculty of Divinity, Tarriere.
In addition to alchemy, I was an exception to the protection target because I could fight on my own.
Originally, as an undergraduate, I would have been protected first, but efficiency was needed in an emergency situation where everyone could die.
A strategy that prioritizes quality over quantity.
Thanks to that, we were continuing a pretty tight battle.
‘But it’s dangerous at this rate.’
One of the strengths of the lycanthrope is its indefatigable stamina.
If we went to a constant war of attrition, we could be increasingly at a disadvantage.
The potions prepared by Professor Meline are handed over to the party members as much as possible, and the professor of the Faculty of Divinity who remains alone is struggling…
As time passed, I kept thinking that I was not good enough.
A branch was needed.
The reason we are currently at a disadvantage is the difference in simple numbers.
An intense turning point that would surely overturn him.
“Sacher… ?”
Professor Melaine, who was running around silently, looked at me with a surprised face.
She was checking with her own eyes the three [Advanced Mana Stones] in my hand and the [Summoning] magic that eventually proceeded.
[Giant Reaper]
-Type: Golem
-Producer: Sacher Philippe
– Reaper with a scythe, a giant executioner. A super-large golem that boasts a much larger size than a normal golem. Although it is slow, it boasts very high defense and strength. Movements can vary greatly depending on the maker’s controllability. Also, depending on the creator’s magic level, a magic sword can be created through the giant ripper’s scythe. You can summon a golem remotely by using [Summon] with [Higher Mana Stone] as a medium.
A golem that can hold dozens of lycanthropes alone.
This was the turning point of this battle I thought.
