Adversity I was wary that our members would be too strong and stand out in a bad way, but that turned out to be a needless worry. The other hunters also have considerable skill, and they"re better if you"re comparing how flashy and impactful it looks.
Another new team has entered into battle, so the Ruler of the Netherworld has fallen into the situation where he"s being attacked by three at once.
Whether he became a little fl.u.s.tered or whatnot, the Ruler of the Netherworld raised the staff that"s a cl.u.s.ter of skeletal arms, and countless skeletons rose up from the ground as reinforcements.
"Hm, a bone-people demon superior species, the bone-warrior demon? Take care, everyone. It"s said that it"s the corpses of those who specialize in war. They"re quite a few levels above the previous ones."
Hearing President Bear"s warning, I cautiously observed the new monsters. There are a lot of bodies with bones darker than the other bone-people demons, and they possess some sort of weapon and armor.
The other bone-people demons are standing defensively, but the bone-warrior demons have their weapons readied. They certainly seem different than our opponents thus far.
Furthermore, even 3-meter tall human-shaped monsters with st.i.tches throughout their bodies also appeared.
"Even rotten-a.s.sembled-people demons? It"s a monster with strangely high endurance. You also have to be careful of its ridiculously high strength!"
Leader Keryoil cautioned as he cut apart and discarded the bone-warrior demon in front of him.
It"s a monster that resembles a frankenstein, na. From its name, it"s a monster that"s made from corpses sewn together? From its muscular appearance, it"s a strength-based character.
While I was carefreely observing as such, a rotten-a.s.sembled-people demon pushed through the crowd of bones and appeared before Ramis.
Seen from up close the muscles are intimidating, but … compared to Ramis, who has to look up, it"s like an adult versus a baby.
The rotten-a.s.sembled-people demon swung its fist the size of Ramis" head downwards, giving the feeling that it will destroy her easily.
Normally I"d deploy the barrier, but I"m leaving this to you, Ramis.
Towards the fist approaching with a howl, Ramis, "Pull in the left, thrust out with the right!" like President Bear had taught her many times, Ramis shot out her right fist to meet it.
When fist met fist, the shockwave went up the arm and through the shoulder, and the rotten-a.s.sembled-people demon"s right arm burst open and scattered rotted flesh.
She then slipped into her faltering opponent"s chest and drove a front kick into her opponent"s stomach, the ground sinking in under her pivot leg.
The rotten-a.s.sembled-people demon was blown away, bent at the stomach and getting other monsters involved as it flew off at a low alt.i.tude.
With the useless movements being reduced one by one, she"s consciously using techniques instead of just throwing her super strength around, so her super strength has increased exceptionally. The results of her training is understood from seeing it.
Then next is my turn.
I manipulate the nozzle of the with from my retrieval opening and point the tip towards the monsters approaching from the right.
And the opponents are blown off from the water set at the maximum power. Furthermore, I imagined the nozzle opening smaller so I was firing the water at high pressure.
When the line of water hit the opponent corpse demons" necks, I swiped it sideways. When I did so, it split the flesh of the neck and the severed head went tumbling to the ground.
I couldn"t do that trick up until now. It was possible to make the opening smaller because I raised my dexterity, but just that isn"t enough power. Although I could blow the opponents away, the power to lop off their heads came from raising strength to 40.
When I realized the benefits of dexterity on , I tried raising strength by 10 thinking that it should also have some meaning and was able to establish its effectiveness.
The idea that it"s horsepower that"s raised rather than physical strength applies.
It"s possible to increase the suction of the , and just like before the you can increase the power of the water being sprayed out.
Like this, it"s become a weapon that can defeat monsters with just water. Honestly, although this level of power isn"t enough to be useful against the Ruler of the Netherworld, but obtaining a method to directly attack opponents is important.
Like this I"m evolving into a vending machine with self-defense and onboard interception abilities. Ah, jeez, I feel like I"m not a vending machine like this; it"s like, you"re only thinking that NOW?
"Thanks, Hakkon."
"You"ve won the jackpot."
There are only undead types as the enemy and our comrades are defeating them without any upsets, although the enemy is attacking again and again, there are no gaps in all the 360 degrees around me.
Manipulating the nozzle freely, I drilled high pressurized water cutter into the monsters" bodies, severing them.
Although they were locked in melee, a number of our comrades realized what I was doing and opened their eyes wide, but after that they took a deep breath and nodded once; looks like they"re acknowledging me.
It"s almost like they"re saying, "Can"t be helped since it"s Hakkon;" I think it"s just my imagination.
When I realized I had become part of the fighting force, I was able to calmly look around at my surroundings.
There isn"t a single surviving monster around Grandmother. The segmented monsters were spread out on the ground as if to show off the smoothly cut surfaces.
Every once in a while, when I thought I saw a silver flash, another corpse would be added. That repeated again and again. She"s an opponent I"d definitely never get near if I was a monster.
The ones that have been thrown through the air are the ones done in by President Bear, huh? With his sharp claws tearing them up, he blows them away with technique, not just strength, and the monsters are easily sent twirling through the air in an almost amusing manner.
With the long blade stretching out from the grip wrapped up in the form of a dragon, Mishael cuts the enemy in two with one stroke, but when you look at the cuts there are traces of burn marks. The double-edged blade portion most likely carries quite a high temperature.
Leader Keryoil is also giving off a motivated feel, so although it"s not eye-catching he"s steadily bringing down his opponents. Normally his activities would be outstanding but compared to the others he doesn"t stand out much.
The corpses of the monsters are dispersed all throughout the surroundings, but the number of enemies doesn"t appear to be reducing, actually, aren"t the attacks coming more quickly?
"I don"t think he can continue indefinitely, but it seems we will have to defeat the Ruler of the Netherworld to proceed."
"It seems so, ne. He might have applied some sort of spell in this area beforehand that can speed up monster resurrection and summoning."
At President Bear"s statement, Grandmother thrust her cane into the ground and replied.
If we could see how much magic power the opponent has left we could draw out the battle, but it wouldn"t be weird for there to be a tool capable of replenis.h.i.+ng magic power in this other world. If he can have it well up endlessly, we"d be the ones running out of power.
We"ll have to deal with the enemy mob somehow if we want to close in on the main one. But even if we defeat them, more immediately appear out of the ground so there"s no end to it.
I know we need some drastic plan to break the current status quo, but since no one can think of a method, the only thing that"s pa.s.sing by while we"re in this overwhelming attacking situation is the time.
Our allies have increased by two hunter teams, but the amount of monsters also increases, as if he"s sneering at our reinforcements. As we continued this offensive-then-defensive ebb and flow, the wind that would change the situation, as it were, suddenly blew and reached us.
["Everyone, leave from here for now. The Ruler of the Netherworld is collecting a large amount of magic power. With this quality of magic and flow, it"s highly possible it"s the superior magic of fire explosion centered on himself. There"s no time, hurry-!"]
At Grandfather"s gruff voice we began to retreat immediately, but the voice carried by wind magic only reached the Clear Lake Level team, so the other hunters aren"t withdrawing at all.
"President, like this everyone else -"
"I understand. Suuuuuuuu."
President Bear had Ramis stand down with his hand and sucked in air as if to expand his chest.
"Oh my oh my, everyone, it"d be better to cover your ears."
Grandmother quickly clasped both hands around her ears and urged our comrades to do the same.
Everyone didn"t seem to understand what was going on, but they obediently covered their ears.
Eh, eh-, but I don"t have hands to cover them up with -! A, I don"t have ears or ear drums either, huh?
"SUPERIOR MAGIC COMING, BACK UUUUUUUP-!"
The howl released from President Bear"s mouth shook the air and ground, and the monsters nearby were blown away from that shockwave.
That yell reached every corner of the battlefield, and that overly loud voice caused enemies and allies to stop their movements for a moment, but the hunters who recollected themselves began to retreat at full speed.
[There was uncalled for behavior, but it"ll do, I suppose.]
This time it"s the voice of the Ruler of the Netherworld reverberating directly in my brain?
From the back of Ramis, who was sprinting, I peeked at the situation of the Ruler of the Netherworld behind us, and the moment he thrust his staff to the sky, my vision was dyed in white.
This is a spark, huh? Before I fully recognized it, I quickly deployed . I felt the shockwave from the sweeping explosion beneath our feet for just a moment.
The white world ended and this time my vision was dyed in red; what leapt into view were explosive flames stretched in a giant cylinder towards the sky in an unbelievable spectacle.
All of our comrades were able to withstand it and avoid being blown away, but a number of the other hunters who were late to escape were thrown cruelly on the ground.
My vision has changed completely and with my normal feeling of security gone my uneasy heart trembles, but I"m able to hold myself together somehow.
When the explosive flames disappeared, there was a giant crater bored into the ground.
This guy had also opened up a giant hole in the ground with magic previously, but this time"s size can"t be compared with that one. It"s big enough that an entire baseball stadium could fit in it.
The Ruler of the Netherworld, who remained dead center in the deepest part of the crater, leisurely floated upwards.
[I suppose I should say you did well just for being elites. To think that this current magic did not produce any dead. Hunters are things I can"t look down on.]
He"s saying that, but I"m definite that the Ruler of the Netherworld floating above the hole has a fully satisfied face. , he"s a skeleton, so there"s no expression, huh?
[The monsters have also been destroyed, but I can replenish however many you wish, so enjoy it to your heart"s content.]
He swung the staff just once and monsters appeared with a force as if to fill up the hole.
It"s the same amount as before, where if you don"t reduce them their number will increase; so you mean we have to do that battle again? Even if we have time before that aria can activate that superior magic, by the time we break through those numbers, the magic will definitely be ready again.
Even so, our allied hunters came from every direction and resumed their attacks in order to overthrow that guy.
The possibility that could overturn this situation is - me, I guess.
