Chapter 287 – Horseman of Death (13)
─Kuuuuu!!
I rolled on the floor taking an infamous fall. The sound was loud, but the impact was small.
Maybe it’s because my body has become stronger that much, but I didn’t have time to feel new. It was because fake Nukelavies were all around me.
“Ssyooooo!!”
“Cuuuuuth!!”
“Suck!!”
─Chaeeng!!
I stood up while spinning around the windmill and hit the scythe with my spear.
If not at a time like this, how would you use the surplus power? Fighting was the one who put the advantage first to win. I threw out the spear and drew the character 一 in two strokes.
Snip-!
The long blade of the spear split the head of the kelpie part.
As expected, the kelpie side must have been the main body, and when the horse’s head was blown away, the movement of the corpse part became terribly clumsy.
Still, if left unattended, they would be slashed with slashes, so I made sure to kill those bastards as well.
“Thunderbolt Tempo!!”
─Pajijijik!!
Scattered 〈 bolts of lightning, enhanced with spear runes, in a fan shape.
Maybe it’s because it’s a water type, but the fake Nukelavies, which are poisonous to electricity, couldn’t even approach its majesty. I killed the two I overpowered and retreated.
─Stand up!!
As they retreat, they annihilate the fake nukelavies that have crossed the fresh water.
It might have been a running fight in a wide meadow, but this was a forest with dense green vegetation. If you fight in a place where movement is restricted, these bastards don’t give a fuck!
“Nord!”
“Chief! What about Stella?!”
“Looks like you’re stuck in the north!!”
I can imagine what is blocking the way. The improvised Nukelavies I saw on the way! Those crudely made killing machines must be blocking Stella.
‘Aurora consumes a lot. Let’s not expect help!’
If they put an aura on their sword, they would be able to cut everything off as if they were cutting tofu.
But if that’s the case, Stella won’t help, even if you’re in a hurry. Isn’t it only wizards who become idiots when their body runs out of mana? It meant that we had to fight with the people here right now.
“Sword of Light!!”
At that time, Dana fired the undead extermination magic from the cliff.
The magic fired while roaring covered a wide area with light, wiping out the fake Nukelavies trying to cross the fresh water.
[Suuuuu…]
Nukelaby exhaled and glared at the cliff. He seemed furious that the toy he had made was broken.
“Sorry!! I just ran out of mana!!”
“Back off, Dana!!”
After a short exchange, Veronica and Lalilura unleashed the magic that ended the chant.
Waves of powerful magic rained down on him. Perhaps thinking that getting hit would be dangerous, Nukelaby picked out healthy ones from among the scavenged corpses and threw them into the orbit.
─Quaaang!!
Our party’s explosion destroyed Kelpie’s body. It wasn’t in vain though. Because it gave me time to cross the fresh water.
“Chief! How long will this river last!”
“At least 10 minutes! Hyromain was poisoned!”
Poison? Fuck this bastard, do you use dokdo?
When she looked back, the magic-supporting Hi-Romain looked like a dead man.
Alice threw away her shield and wept as she healed her, as if her Dana’s magic had cleared away the fake Nukelaby and made her feel free.
[Huuuck!]
Nukelaby’s head caught his breath.
The cub had a single red eye growing only between its eyebrows, and poisonous-looking black gas swayed from its whale-like muzzle. I gritted my teeth and squeezed out mana.
─Fuhuaaaaa!!
The horse’s head spewed a poisonous breath.
Poisonous gas enough to cause the leaves to wither in no time!
Anticipating that, I applied the groundwork for the Absolute Sky Zone and spread the wind curtain. The three enchanted spears turned like windmills and pushed the breath away.
“No shit?!”
Having stopped the disease-causing breath, I was stunned.
It was because Nuke Lavi’s one-eye glowed and he picked up her corpse again.
─Pujijik!
My intelligence was amazing because I noticed the danger just by looking at the casting motion of my ultimate skill, but the real surprise was next.
He was squishing the toy he had made in the palm of his hand, holding it up with his overhand like a pitcher on his fastball!
[──Prepare your defense! Quickly!!]
I stopped turning the windmill while shouting in Ulster.
Such a heavy projectile could not be stopped with this herbivore. I felt goosebumps and my fingertips tingled at the sensation of blood flowing backwards through my body. My eyes bulged wide as if they were piercing projectiles.
─Puuong!!
With a burst of wind, Nukelaby scattered her corpse.
──I have never experienced it, but I have heard of it. It is said that hailstones the size of a man’s fist are terrible natural disasters that plow even civilized streets.
The Corpse Explosion (Physical) cast by Nukelaby had similar destructive power. I gritted my teeth and countered the fragments of the kelpie’s corpse flying like cannonballs.
Whoaaaaagh—!!
My arm felt like it was burning. As the mithril spear was swung, a silver light like a full moon bloomed.
─Puuong!!
His arms went numb as if he had a muscle pain when he returned the corpse shells with six super-high-speed swings.
If it wasn’t for the 3rd Poomsae, a counterattack specializing in countering heavy projectiles, I would never have been fine. If you received it with your bare body, internal organs could rupture.
I actually heard something explode behind me.
Since the chief and the two Labsil Sisters were fine, it seemed that the Ulster warriors could not stop them and died.
Seeing the look on the chief’s face, it seemed like I was right. ─Two! I spit, feeling the bitterness in my mouth.
“… The starter ballum is so damn good at baseball.”
Nukelaby grumbled at the subject with twice as many slobs as the others. Instead, he looked at the floor to see if he was going to pick up the body.
It sucks, but fresh water is no longer a shield.
As long as that fuck rum has become a serious game mode, there is no choice but to pierce the stomach from the front!
“Stay there, you fucking bastard!! Because I’ll break your head fast!!”
I skipped the fresh water like a spear jumper. I had to buy time until the party circumnavigated the cliff, the chief shouted.
“Hiromain! If you can’t fight, back off! I will support Nord too!”
“Whoa… ! At least, this… !!”
As I charged, Nukelaby released another poisonous mist.
I applied 〈 Cloud Summoning 〉 to the spear and tried to pull it off, but changed my stance when I saw the poison mist split in front of me like a Moses miracle.
‘Is it the magic of the windshield!’
The wind-stopping magic that Hi-Romain blocked the carriage from breaking!
A bad breath breath with low blowing power could be blocked with this. Like a doctor, it’s a well-thought-out decision. I dashed at his feet as Nuke Lavi stopped his breath.
“Twice as many legs as anyone else! Give at least one to society!”
Booung-!!
He aimed for his horse’s leg and swung it, but Nukelaby easily dodged it by lifting his leg. I opened my eyes wide. Crazy bitch! It was a flexibility that ordinary words could not show!
The lifted leg slammed down to break my crotch.
But I twisted the corner of my mouth.
“Trade and trade affairs.”
A linkage from the counterattack 4th Poomsae to the attack fighter 1st Poomsae.
“──Weigh up!”
I offset the kinetic energy and swung the spear. The Nukelaby foal was a wild horse, so it had no shoes under its feet, and the thick foal’s feet were split lengthwise.
[Pooooo──!!!]
Nukelaby roars like stepping on Lego!
It was a kill angle, but I grabbed the spear and fired a series of tumbling evasions. It was because my hands were weak when I tried to offset the mad foal’s kick with one arm.
“Baby, like a horse foal, one kicking power doesn’t come.”
Maybe that kid is also a lower body bug. Like humans, the lower body is stronger than the upper body.
Of course, it doesn’t matter anymore because the soles of my feet are half brown. Although quadrupedal creatures have an advantage in running, they can never run on those feet.
Is it because you know that too? Nukelaby has now become a macho barbarian that only looks at me.
[Yooooouubbbb!!!]
The frenzied Nukelavy unleashed a Bung Zi Bung Tzu punch.
And at that moment, I noticed a creature leaping silently from the tree behind Nukelaby’s back. That’s why I shot 〈 bolts of lightning without dodging or counterattacking.
─Pazuzuzuzu!!
A psionic storm paralyzes a water-type Pokemon.
Ulster’s warrior commander didn’t miss that moment. With a greatsword wrapped in an aura, one of the bastard’s arms was bai-bye to his torso.
[Aooooo!!]
─Kooung!
The horse meat tataki arm fell off and Nukelaby ran amok like a rodeo horse. She cried, distanced herself from the asshole.
[Chief! Is it all right!]
[Stellar!]
Stella is full of scars as if she had passed through the fake Nukelavies!
She glared at the chieftain, the retreating Labsil Sisters, and the dead bodies in an instant, and growled.
[I knew the situation roughly. Don’t miss it this time, evil spirit!!]
[Aaaaa!!]
Nukelaby stamped the floor with her front paws. Then black spray poured down like a liver blood stream.
I thought it was poison and avoided it, but when I smelled the sea breeze, I felt a terrifying premonition. It reminded him of how the young kelpie, said to be a river spirit, had recovered from his wounds when he entered the river.
[Mr. Stella! If you leave that fucking thing alone, it will recover!!]
[Recovery? That doesn’t sound right!!]
Me and Stella dashed at her risk, but we couldn’t dodge all of her big hooves.
Well, if you’re aiming with a fucking intention, you can even predict where it will fly, and there’s no time to dig in because you’re hitting it with no beats at all!
‘Fucked! If I let them recover, it becomes an endurance battle!’
That wasn’t good What wasn’t good was that if you didn’t hit the head right away in the middle of a fight, Nukelaby would bounce back without even looking back.
‘I’m pissed right now, so they’ll kill me and throw me off, but if I’m really going to lose, there’s no way I’ll keep fighting.’
The escape from human tactics is the 36th precept. That means it’s a bad strategy.
But I know The fact that running away from animals is not a shameful option. Wounds lead to death in the wild.
‘Originally, those evil bastards harass others for liking them, how to treat your body like gold!!’
I couldn’t ask for the spirit of a banzai special attack samurai from that horsehead bastard.
If you let it recover once, it will grind the recovery pattern 2-3 times, and if it seems that it can’t win, it will explode while spewing poison gas! Didn’t Stella miss it so many times!
For that bastard, there is no such thing as a third phase where you pull out the moonlight sword from your back and become the Sword Saint Nukelabi!
[I will block the movement! Mr. Stella, please shake off the horse head first!]
[Stop it! If you step on it, you die!]
As I tried to run, Stella stopped me.
[The poison mist can only penetrate me! We have to do it before Hi Romain’s spell ends!]
[You can’t use aura! Even if you can protect your body with that body strengthening magic, your weapon will break! Then you have no choice but to die!]
After all, he is a surprisingly wise person compared to his strange way of speaking. Does it mean that the battle field was not won by gambling?
Still, I laughed as I removed her hand.
[Yes. I can’t write aurors. But you can use other magic.]
When I combined the skills I learned from Stella, I glimpsed the potential of the new technology.
Demonstration of beast possession magic and aura similar to beast return! As the two knowledges and experiences melted within me, they sublimated into one skill.
I shook my brain while raising the rune’s mana.
【──ᛒ(Berkanan).】
Shuwaaaaagh—!!
The form of Beast Return has changed.
The green mana coating that covered my body reached the window.
The trick is similar to the mana claws you get from hitting Tabula. As a rune that changes my mana, it is to increase the target of the strengthening of beast return to the window.
I was a savage druid, savage warrior, savage forager, and savage archaeologist.
‘Then, the warrior’s ultimate point I’ve reached, Aura should also be a savage.’
──Seonhak said, ‘If there are no teeth, use the gums’.
“Can’t you use mana coating if you can’t use an aura?”
I recited the words of Marie Antoinette.
The spear with enhanced attack and defense emitted intense light of mana from the blade with the rune of ᚨ (Ansuz) engraved on it. I roared as I wielded that brilliance.
“I’ll make you raw fish, seahorse-human bastard!!”
