Chapter 174 – 8-Beast Flood (4)
When we appeared, the gazes of the gathered knights and soldiers soon turned to astonishment.
Armor and swords suddenly flying around me. And the sight of them turning into bullets and sweeping the forest must have been out of the norm even for knights who deal with magical powers.
In addition, the noise and power of the railgun that I fired caused the aggro of the monsters around me to be rapidly attracted.
However, the high temperature of the railgun I shot heated and melted the ground, and the surrounding trees and grass caught fire and started to burn, so fortunately I didn’t rush at it right away.
However, the number of monsters was enormous and the types were too diverse.
Even the demon beasts that were visible right away were the rock gorillas, moonlight wolves, hobgoblins, red oaks, dark deum, shadow foxes, etc. It was a mess to the point of real chaos.
The good news is that there are no demons related to cold or ice, so they can’t do anything about us right now.
That’s why I hurriedly shouted while looking at my companions.
You have to move quickly when you have the opportunity like now.
“Run quickly! Now, because of the heat and flames on the floor, the monsters aren’t actively sticking to you!”
At my shout, relatively weak kids like Mist, Senia, and Ruri quickly clung to my back, and Rubel’s cane always emitted a bright light, boosting our physical abilities.
“Let’s go! The archmage’s support is going! Run!”
I felt my body lighten and admired Rubel’s ability.
With the Archmage’s support, I felt like I was 10% stronger than usual.
Thanks to this, Mist and Ruri, who have relatively weak physical abilities, can run with a fairly comfortable face.
But at the same time, as the heat on the floor gradually subsided, the monsters began to attack from all sides.
And in response to the attack of these monsters, I generated a huge thunderbolt from my body, scattered it all over the land of this forest, and collected iron dust from all over the forest and brought it back.
Paji Jiji!!!
Cheer la la rock!!!
The iron powder dragged by the tremendous lightning was like a black wave itself.
And by the time the majority of demon beasts noticed this black wave, it was after they had already been swept away by the black wave and their whole bodies were torn to shreds.
However, even among the monsters, those who were considered to be quite strong or had a hard body were not even hurt by the iron powder baptism.
Judging that he couldn’t stop it alone, he gave instructions to Russell, Asuna, and Senia.
“Keep running! Asuna and Russell take over! And Senia randomly builds ice walls all over the place!”
“Okay! Brother!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll take care of the back!”
“There’s no need to worry about that! I’m stronger than you. Princess!”
Senia dutifully complied with my instructions and immediately spread her coldness in all directions.
Subsequently, a pillar of ice rose between the beasts approaching us, and this pillar of ice wonderfully blocked the beasts and hindered their movement.
At the same time, Asuna and Russell, who were behind them, each pulled out their weapons and appropriately slashed the monsters approaching from behind.
I can block the side and front by myself, so if two people block the back well, it will be safe for now.
Even just now, the Demonic Beasts that rushed at us were being swept away by iron powder or collided with pillars of ice, then caught in the charge of other Demonic Beasts and trampled on, turning into mush.
And the swords that Russell continuously threw stuck between the beasts’ foreheads and killed them, and Asuna’s sword accurately cut through the rushing beasts.
Our team was exquisite and strong, and even with a small number of people, we were able to break through the monsters.
3 hours of running like that. Gradually, I began to see the castle, and the passage made with the railgun was cut off long ago, so I took the lead, breaking trees to make a road, and the party followed, running at full speed.
Aren’t the monsters on the back and side already in their territory? Or maybe it was attracted to something else, and the number quickly decreased, while the number of monsters in front was rapidly increasing.
I guess I’ll have to blow through the entrance with another wide-area skill.
“Okay! Everyone has done very well so far! Let’s break through like this!”
I shouted loudly with my magic power and immediately pulled out the Claus Solas and Darkness from my back, and at the same time, I fired thunderbolts in all directions and destroyed the monsters.
And injects enormous magical power into Darkness, the Demon King’s sword, and Claus Solas, the first holy sword. Dark lightning stained the sword from the Demon King’s sword. In Clausolas, the brightest golden light of salvation burst forth.
The bright golden light gradually took the form of a huge blade, and the black lightning gathered and compressed into a cylinder.
[Great! Let’s go massacre!]
[To protect my comrades from the monsters! For that, my strength! I’ll lend you anything… Kyaaak!?]
In the midst of this, he forcibly cut off Claus Solas, who was talking strangely, and swung his sword forward vigorously.
As a result, the tremendous golden light and black lightning carried by Claus Solas and the Demon King Sword Darkness poured forward, generating bright light and enormous shockwaves.
Aaaaa!!!
The mixture of golden and black lightning moving forward was like the chaos in mythology, and the power was, needless to say, amazing.
Literally, the forest was wiped out along with the beasts, and the beasts were wiped clean along with the forest without leaving even their hides.
“It’s amazing! As expected, it’s the first holy sword used by the first hero! And a sword comparable to that first holy sword… As expected, you’re amazing!”
“As expected, brother!”
We were able to arrive in front of the castle of the Lillit family with a short laugh from the party who burst into admiration for me.
And Claus Solas, who unintentionally landed a blow with the Demon King Sword, said in a tone that he was truly disgusted.
[Ugh… To think I’m joining forces with Inma… !]
[Ttsutsutsu! If you are truly a sword for a hero, kill that personality for Artel.]
‘It’s been a while since you said the right thing. Great! Darkness.’
As Darkness said, it is difficult to react sensitively to each and every one of my actions.
It’s not dangerous, but it bothers me to hear it.
[Gyaaaaagh! How dare anyone say that!]
[Yes? Of course you!]
… I don’t think these guys will ever become friends.
While listening to the conversation between Claus Solas and Darkness, I led my party and approached the castle.
As we approached the castle, the monsters kept a reasonable distance without approaching us and only roared.
So I think it’s safe. I decided to quickly enter the castle.
“Okay. It looks safe now that we’ve come this far! Let’s go in quickly!”
At my words, everyone in the party rushed to the castle, and many soldiers in the castle were nervous watching us, but after learning that they were volunteers for the emperor, they opened the door and welcomed us.
It seems that the blow I just struck aroused fear and awe in them.
Most of the soldiers gave us monster-like looks, but they were weaklings, so we agreed to understand.
Rather than that, the first thing to do is to kill the demons in the Lillit family.
There are demons inside this territory. Among them, there will be the Four Heavenly Kings who are the most powerful, and the secret weapon of the demons will also be sealed.
And now, assuming that the cause of this situation is the demons, all the demons in this territory are subject to summary execution.
Of course, it was after he and his party had a good rest before the summary execution began.
The kids are already too tired from running for 3 hours to get here.
It is not too late to start after recovering some strength after resting.
So, once we looked for a place to rest, there was no building that we could use.
There should be at least a large bed and a bathtub with hot water, but there are few luxury inns here, and there are very few facilities for pleasant relaxation.
Convenience through magic tools is the best, but all other parts are below the level.
So I decided
For a pleasant rest today, I decided to go to the lord castle.
“Okay. From now on, we’re going to the lord’s castle! Everyone follow me!”
I screamed and ran.
Although Asuna stopped me from behind and grabbed me, Ruri stopped me and said no, reminding me of our mission, so I quit halfway through.
… Chet!
——————————-
While Artel and the others ran for 3 hours, Lilith Beli was also spending 3 hours risking her life.
Her opponent, a top-notch beast, had been hit by the dragon warrior’s abrasion several times before her skin cracked and a small wound appeared, and the wound healed in a matter of seconds, showing off her natural healing ability.
“Damn it!”
Kwaaaaang!!!
With this, it was the 15th dragon warrior’s magic bombardment, but it was not eaten by the top-notch monster armed with natural healing ability and hard skin.
And, perhaps even the highest-ranking witch felt this, the witch looked at Lilith Belly with a mocking expression.
In response, Lilith Belly changed her Queen Breaker into her Titan and slashed her top-notch Beast in the face.
“This! Who dares to laugh at someone!”
Kwaaaaang!!!
The powerful attack that makes the earth tremble is arrogant. I hit the top-notch monster that I didn’t deliberately avoid, but I couldn’t properly hurt it this time either.
Lilith Belly is strong.
All kinds of tools and weapons. And the combat method that can be said to be an aggregation of cheating using this is truly powerful.
However, Lilith Belly had a fatal weakness.
It is that her magic ability is at the level of premature ejaculation for the strongest person in the world.
Magic is truly miraculous power. It is the source that made it possible for mankind, who had been pushed back by the Witchbeast, to subdue the Witchbeast.
However, Lilith Belly, who lacked her magical power, tried to make up for it with all kinds of tools, but ironically, her magical power was not enough to defeat her top-notch beast, making it impossible for her to use her own invention properly.
But even so, she did not give up and continued to fight.
Because she doesn’t want to die here.
“Now! Die!”
While shouting, Lilith Belly mounted Uriel and created white flames.
