Gams squeezes out the sword from the other side of the opponent.
The Monocular Red Demon glances around and rubs it stick annoyingly.
At that moment the heavy rain broke into and then dull cras.h.i.+ng sound was heard. Gams flew backwards as if sliding on the rainwater.
“Gams!!”
I became anxious seeing Gams being knocked out in one blow, but it seems he is still fine. My facial has become distorted and the shock still remains. Gams knee is badly damaged.
The Monocular Red Demon did not remove his eye sight from where Gams has collapsed, although technically he is still not down.
“Onii-sama!!!”
Chen screams at the top of her lungs. Murus immediately takes action
He shots multiple arrows but they are stopped by his slight wave of the Red demons hand and even if they managed to reach him, they just fall down after hitting his hard skin.
The momentum of the arrows is not weak. Murus has a record of killing multiple monsters with a single shot.
Gams seemed to have stood up while the Red demon was distracted with the arrows. I can’t help but feel the overwhelming difference in power.
Right now…I am really hesitant to fight with the Red demon.
It just always points his stick to the sky and then swing it down with tremendous speed while seeing that Gams desperately tries to avoid it.
This one-pattern attack has repeated over and over again. Is it trying to kill some insect? [1]
Gams us also trying to attack but he can’t make it to him due to his giant body and the stick.
If you are forcibly approach it then you will be blown away.
The Red demon is not an ordinary monster. Even if it’s powerful….even if ordinary arrows can not damage him. I can still use the position arrows. Will it be able to penetrate the tough skin? And in addition this heavy rain?”
I was relived to hear the words which Murus said while biting his lips.
It’s true that Murus is a pharmacist and is familiar with poisons.
If he is stabbed with a spear with poisoned tip then there may be a chance. However, it is possible that this rain will wash out the poison.
Then how about stopping the rain? Because of the rain the movement of Gams is restricted due to the wet mud on the ground.
However, thanks to the heavy rain, the monsters visibility was restricted and they were able to easily infiltrate. Even if I stop the rain, the ground won’t immediately dry up.
I think I should use the oracle and ask them to run away….but wouldn’t it be more dangerous to run away in this situation?
If you loosen your attack and show your back even for a moment. I don’t think it’s going to be safe.
Rather it would be not wonder if they are defated at that moment.
” What to do…What to do. There is no time to spare. Think! Think! What can you do. What can you do. “
When I was at the base, there was the emergency measure Golem Summon, so my heart was a lot calmer but currently there is no insurance or emergency measure.
Shouldn’t it would have been possible to carry a wooden carved statue even if it looks ugly. No if they did that then the movement speed would have dropped drastically and even we were not able to save the lives which we could have saved during that time difference then I would have regretted it.
What I can do is use the power of the miracles and inform then about it using the Oracle. However, it would be reckless to seek an immediate effect of the miracle related to the fate.
Things which I could use are poisons, the Bible and the small sachet which Gams gave to Chem
Use your brain and figure out some idea even if smoke starts coming out of it.
The surest way would be to abandon Gams and let Murus and Chem escape. If the two run away, the wise Gams will immediately realize it and will distract the Red demon’s attention with some flashy movement.
They all are just game characters….just NPCs.
“No…Everyone will stay alive. There should be a way. A game which is impossible to clear cannot exist.”
I realize that I don’t like being incompetent. That why I will use all the knowledge of the games, animes and mangas. I can do it. I will mobilize all the knowledge which I gained within the last decade. Any ideas which can be used here?
The most effective in this situation would be….Miracle and things with luck elements. All of them slowly clear out in my head and a single path emerges.
“Can we do it?”
I activated the oracle and quickly typied the instructions.
“The Bible is s.h.i.+ning….there should be some advice..”
Chen quicky takes out the Bible and reads the content.
He seems to be convinced by the contents.
After confirming that Murus is holding his bow, I executed a weather operation.
I adjusted the range so it only covers the Red demon. The heavy rain was now only falling near to the demon while Gams and Murus escaped the range at the last second.
Although strangely it’s raining only in the immediate vicinity of the demon, Gams isn’t surprised He seems to have figured out that it was a miracle of G.o.d of Destiny and hence glanced to Chem.
When Chen ask him to move away by gesture, he immediately does so and falls back some distance.
Only the Monocular Red demon was left in the rain but I haven’t noticed any changes.
