Chapter 35 Ambush“Kuufu, this is a rare slime. It seems to be bad”
“Oh, He went into the ground again!”
At the moment that Clotho begins to absorb, Victor retreats from Gérard and jumps in the hole into which the left arm has been drawn. Next, the left arm that is chasing me also returns to the ground. Clotho sticks to the devil"s arm, intends to get under the ground. Clotho returns its body to the storage size and exerts its original power, but Victor still goes up a few steps on the status side. Clotho is dangerous as it is.
“Let me do that!”
I cast the highest ranking seal magic I can use now, "A" grade white magic [Glory sanctuary], centering on his left arm protruding from the ground. This Glory Sanctuary is one of my trump cards, it is a magic that gives a strong seal to the target and can create a sanctuary of the size according to the magical power spent. In addition, in the sanctuary, it has the effect to raise the muscle power and the magical power of the party.
It seems to be a magic that a royal magician activates with several people, such as when a powerful monster appears, for the purpose of attacking the sealed enemy without leaving it in a strengthened state. Although the magical power is uselessly wasted if I am alone, it is usable. Melfina who cannot be summoned even by such excessive magical power is a story about how much magical power is necessary all together, but now I omit it.
The white-sparkling magic is developed as the base point of Viktor’s left arm. This is the sanctuary of magic that will bring an auxiliary effect to the party. The magic extends so as to surround the entire room roughly, and the floating three-stage ring surrounds the target.
“Oh! Well, you are the Lord!”
There is only seal magic cla.s.s A, and the stretched arm does not move a muscle.
“This is a temporary measure. Use the sword of vortex edge, slash it and cut his arm! ”
At first glance, the Glory Sanctuary seems to be completely sealed. Actually, he is just being suppressed. In fact, the first one of the ring has already begun to crack. What unbelievable strength.
“Aware!"
Gerard ran to the center of the sanctuary. He carried the Vortex edge sword that has brought down many monsters. This was his trump card and also his best attack power. A sword that embodies the storm that slashes all things and can lead you to have a sure-hit skill to win a game!
— Suzu.
Something sounds behind me.
“You have become distracted?”
Suddenly, Victor appears from the ground. The black magic power has already been stored in one arm, and only after shifting to attacking action. You can understand at a glance that it can become a fatal injury if you receive even a single blow. Oops, did I ignore him too much to distinguish the signs!
“It was a good deal, but no matter how much the 1: 3 battle, the result that ends with my victory will not change!”
Kelvin turns around. That face is still – –
“1 to 3? It"s a mistake, it is 1 to 4.”
— He was smiling.
“Efil, do it”
“Capture my enemies. Pierce him!”
Efil, who kept waiting in secret, captured Victor within the Arrow of extreme flames Blaze Arrow. In advance, Efil had to use covert skills before entering the room and was instructed to shoot the deadly blow to see a gap, to make me a decoy, and fire immediately.
This was also used during subjugation of wicked old trees. The Arrow of extreme flames Blaze Arrow is an Efil"s archery skill that specializes in penetrating power. It flies with the blast that uses red magic; the arrowhead containing flames up to the limit melts the target and penetrates it. This technique also hinders the target after penetration; it demonstrates true power against opponents who are excellent in defense.
The blow was given completely from Victor"s blind spot. The guy was not able to see the figure of Efil until the Blaze Arrow is released. But Victor reacted at the moment of launch. The right arm I was trying to swing down was pointed at the arrow, and he immediately gave a simple defensive action. His danger sense skill might have worked.
“Ugh!”
Still, the Arrow of extreme flames Blaze Arrow breaks through Victor"s armor which has boasted overwhelming defense power so far, penetrating from the hand to the arm and shoulder. He guarded with his arm and did not lead to a fatal injury by properly twisting his body, but his right arm has become useless now. Victor was wary of this, so he used the soil infiltration skill again. We can"t pursue him.
“I failed miserably … ….”
“Not yet! I will get the left arm! ”
Yes, this is not the end. Gerard’s Vortex Edge attacks are waiting for. Gerard was already at the side of the sealed left arm, it was the moment of slashing. The Glory Sanctuary"s first ring is destroyed; the second one is also destroyed. There is only one chance now.
“Ooooooooooo!”
A blow that emphasizes power is released with a shout. At the moment when Victor’s armor touches the big black sword wearing the wind, a continuous metal sound is heard. The Vortex Edge is trying to break his arm like a chainsaw, but the armor is resisting. Dazzling sparks are blooming and the metallic sound becomes stronger.
— Kin.
Finally, the armor is cut off, and Victor’s left arm dances in the sky. Gerard overcame this fight. I would like Clotho to prey on the cut arm, but now we have no time so I will put it in storage.
“Well done! But the seal of the arm will vanish. Retreat at once! ”
The ring that lost the object to be sealed causes an automatic collapse, and the glory sanctuary disappears. The root of the arms unsealed dives into the earth. Victor seems to go away to the other side of the room while traveling through the soil.
“It seems like he retreats. Be wary of the back of the room. ”
“Yes. The covert effect has gone so I will move on to shooting support. ”
“The magic palace spell is still in effect. Next is the final game. ”
After a while, Victor appeared from the ground.
“Kufu Kukufuhu, Has it been that far since the last Hero? I also seem to have been poisoned by this warm and peaceful era.”
Clotho sucked magical power from Victor and Victor lost both arms. It can be said that he is in a precarious situation.
“Well, will you give up already?”
“Kufuhu: only that much? You joke of a Battle Junkie…… The fight is not over yet!”
The greatest sense of oppression strikes us.
“Devil fight”
The black magic that overflowed from the lost arms ran through Victor"s whole body. Perhaps it is the strongest black magic that he has.
“You, here I go.”
“Oh, let’s end it.”
I prepared the staff again.
