Chapter 26 – The Balance-Destroying『Invasion』

It wasn’t the case where I was petrified in front of the enemy . I had solidified for an instant less than even one second . Even in the s.p.a.ce of that instant, it could be said there was enough time to allow the enemy’s preemptive attack .

I jumped back with all of my strength .

“Uwa~” (s.h.i.+njō)

Its attack was considerably more quick and deep than the heavy full body armor appeared, the black death sword *graze* pa.s.sed by my cheek, and the point of the sword shaved my ring mail stomach .

It was just a flake of skin, but I was surprised as I hadn’t intended to just barely avoid it like this .

What a heavy sword . The likes of the ringmail’s defense would be cut and torn with no problem at all .

It wasn’t just heavy, but also fast . Its manner of walking, like it was *gashan, gashan* dragging its heavy armor and helmet, were also feints .

Was this an enemy of the 14th level? The speed of its slashes that cut the empty air, its quickness, and its strength were threats .

Was it due to a skilled technique?

……No, it wasn’t just technique .

Although I was also surprised, I felt something mysterious in the mysterious movements of the black death knight .

That’s why it wasn’t my usual dodge of paper-thin distance .

I jumped back with all my power, but it was paper-thin with that . Somehow, I felt that the distance between us was being misrepresented .

It seemed like the movements of the enemy suddenly fast-forwarded the moment they attacked .

What was this odd feeling . At any rate, let’s use all of my power without poorly relying on my bodily sense when I avoid these guys’ attacks .

There were two swordsman like that .

Furthermore, the me of now was exhausted . I couldn’t even use magic due to a lack of mana . ……The more I thought about it, I had no choice but to tactfully withdraw here .

Fortunately, thanks to the full body armor of the black death knights, save for when it attacked, it couldn’t do anything but walk when it moved .

Considering the difference in speed with the opponent, along with the time of the game, I could run away sufficiently . There was no shame in running away .

But, I had a feeling of ‘I want to kill the strong swordsmen upfrontly’ .

It was my hunger as a swordsman, the one-to-one fight with Enos.h.i.+gaos of the underground 7th floor was good .

There was a feeling that I was fighting a warrior equivalent to me . The more dangerous it was, the more joyful the giving and taking of lives was .

The enemies were none other than a swordsman type . Which one was stronger, the black death swords of the black death knights, or my『Solitude』, I wanted to try it out .

Even though the enemy was in the superiority of ‘two to one’, they attacked with their full power without hesitation .

The black death knights drew their swords, and drew near me as if doing a pincer attack from left and right .

There wasn’t enough speed to swing the long length nodachi, and I couldn’t brush aside the attacks from both parties .

I’d be killed if I remained still .

Even while my mind was hotly demanding a duel, my brain as a gamer calculated the result due to the difference in war potential .

With my fighter rank still only expert, if I directly exchanged blows with black death knights, I had five turns .

What floated in my mind was me being shaved every turn and receiving a fatal wound on the fifth-ish turn: I was cut in two by a black death knight, and my figure sunk into the pool of blood that spouted from my own body .

That vision of defeat would become reality soon if I advanced like this . It was regrettable, but as I thought, taking on two opponents at once was impossible for the current me .

“Eeiiii!” (s.h.i.+njō)

While preparing to use my sword, I jumped back once more, and the two black death swords that were swung downward before my eyes struck against each other .

It felt as if the points of their swords accelerated . The two black death knights set up their quick attacks exactly like a machine .

Whether or not they were living humans who had intelligence, the opponents were wearing full body black steel armor on their bodies, so I felt like I was taking on robots .

I exited from the hall and ran away on the magma path .

They walked calmly on top of the magma floor where you received damage if you treaded upon it .

In spite of them walking while making *gashan, gashan* noises, the distance between me who retreated and ran away didn’t spread easily .

Even though there was no way that it was like that .

So to speak, it felt like they were using delay magic .

Oh yeah, there was also that sort of magic .

Slowing the enemy, accelerating the bodily sense time of yourself, and quick spells .

“Elementary LevelLow RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

This was a fairly high-order spell .

I didn’t always succeed in one time, but I guess it did the trick, as I felt my bodily sense speed rise . My magician rank might have risen more than I thought .

I considered trying to stack it, but it didn’t become words .

My mana had dried up completely . The fact I succeeded was good, but there would be no way out anymore if I faced down the opposition in here .

‘The enemies are coming from the fourteenth floor’, I thought about while running away . Them seeing a scroll with a quick spell written on it somewhere and studying it wouldn’t be funny .

However, warrior-type monsters should have both low mana and magician ranks, and if my guess was right, I should be able to counterbalance it with elementary level .

“Haa, haa…… . Them feeling fast might be just me being tired . ” (s.h.i.+njō)

I could move a bit more quickly if it wasn’t after a series of battles, but I didn’t even have the time to recover stamina with the potions I had on hand .

Before the impossible situation of an『invasion』of two things, it was better to think that the common sense of Genocide Reality that I had now didn’t pa.s.s completely .

The black death knights, which originally should have done nothing but the brute force approach, used delay magic; they were a living opponent .

“Haha~, don’t do it . ” (s.h.i.+njō)

It wasn’t a laughing matter, but it didn’t mean that even I was running away in vain .

Setting aside the fact that they were monsters boasting their high physical strength while wearing black steel armor, they should have been receiving damage on the magma floor .

“That’s right, I’ve learned that you have intelligence, which means you’ll also feel pain and fear . ” (s.h.i.+njō)

The black death knights that were chasing me were also the same living thing that knew both fear and excitement .

The enemies were smart, I couldn’t be made sport of by letting the two come apart .

The movements by the two that kept chasing me without rus.h.i.+ng made me feel independent intelligence .

Even if they were displaying movements that showed signs of a machine, they unexpectedly might have been ecstatic at the excitement of hunting before a prey with the feel of food while being chewed . ¹ If they were the same living things, then I should be able to kill them .

“Come, I’m this way, come this way!” (s.h.i.+njō)

I incited the opponents while running away from them, and when I came to the planned place, I *spin* turned around to the back .

And, I caught the black death swords that were swung downward by the two . At the same time, I pressed the gate b.u.t.ton——

There was a *guw.a.n.guwan* sound, and the heavy gate made of iron descended onto the two black death knights .

The shoulder of one was destroyed by receiving the gate that fell, and the other’s head *gakuntu* was bent horizontally .

“How’s that, the taste of the f.u.c.king technique?” (s.h.i.+njō)

Hitting the opponent’s head with the closing iron gate, I thought that it might pa.s.s as a simple trap, but the enemy was agitated . The f.u.c.king gate didn’t seem to have experience in receiving .

They were attacked by something unexpected, I guess . The two black death knights swung their black death swords downward at me, but their movements lacked brilliance .

They were attacked by something unexpected, I guess . The two black death knights swung their black death swords downward at me, but their movements lacked brilliance .

The iron gate *ganggantu* tried to descend many times over from above continued to give damage soundly . With the unexpected attack, I thought that they might draw back, but the enemy didn’t draw back .

I might have been taking them lightly if they overcame resistance even with this . When I thought so, anger burned in my heart .

“Guuu, not yet!” (s.h.i.+njō)

I wasn’t able to deal with the slash attacks of two of them at the same time and received shallow blows on the tops of my shoulders, but I desperately defended the front of the gate .

The advantageous position was here; if I continued to stop them like this, the enemies would be crushed by the iron gate .

While my arms were being cut shallowly, I felt that it was too greedy to aim at trying to defeat them both at once .

I concentrated my attacks on one, and made it receive a big stab technique .

The black death knight on the right hand side was blown off to the other side, and fell on its backside .

The black death knight on the left hand side who raised its death black sword overhead and tried to attack me in that gap *gakun* took a direct hit from the iron gate that rained incessantly from above and fell to its back .

With this, the opponents were one again .

If it was one-on-one, thennn!

With the iron gate that fell from above, and the slash attack of『Solitude』which I swung from in front, the black death knight fell to its knees and *gasha~* collapsed at last .

Then, the iron gate *bam* fell .

At last, there was the sound of the tough armor breaking while it was caught between the heavy gate and the ground .

The black death knight stopped moving as it was .

“I killed it…… . Hahaha~, I killed it!” (s.h.i.+njō)

With my rank, I killed an enemy of the fourteenth level .

It wasn’t something I could speak well of because the iron gate was what did the real great efforts, but because I faced two black death knights, who also did strong physical attacks, at the same time, on top of attack magic being almost ineffective, I think it was a most spectacular victory .

After resting a little, let’s defeat the other one that was weakened .

Thinking so, I casually looked back and became speechless .

Two new black death knights were approaching from the other side of the pa.s.sage .

*Guw.a.n.guwan*, the gate behind me opened .

The wounded black death knight from some time ago, had pushed the b.u.t.ton and opened the gate . It prepared to use its black steel sword, and *jiri~* approached here .

I was perfectly surrounded . Three opponents at once…… .

“That’s impossible . ” (s.h.i.+njō)

My head grew cold, and quickly moved sideways, I ran to a pit in that place and dropped down .

“Owww……” (s.h.i.+njō)

It wasn’t that I moved without even thinking .

I thought about it and enticed them to that place while taking my own safety margin into account .

For killing the two black death knights, I chose close to the pit as the place of battle so that I could escape right there on the spot in the situation I felt that I couldn’t kill them .

As I fell three meters with an unreasonable stance, my body struck the floor violently and sparks fell in my eyes, but I guess it was better than being surrounded and chopped up by the three of them in that place .

Searching the rucksack, I drank a potion immediately and restored my health .

I decided to withdraw from this level immediately . To go up the stairs from the pit, and evacuate to a level even higher from there .

I saw four of them, but it didn’t necessarily mean that there were only four enemies .

Moreover, I was also considering that many black death knights made a group and did an『Invasion』from below .

Moreover, I was also considering that many black death knights made a group and did an『Invasion』from below .

Even though the black death knights weren’t enemies that appeared numerously like that, even on the fourteenth level .

I knew that the common sense of Genocide Reality of when it was a game should be thrown away already .

Monsters should also flock, think, and consider as a player .

A dark object dropped in front of me who thought so .

The black death knight pursued me, and jumped into the pit . Personally jumping into a trap was an action that a monster absolutely hadn’t done until now .

“You’ll go this far?” (s.h.i.+njō)

The st.u.r.dy and silent black death knight appeared to have almost no pain against the fall damage, and when it got up it thrust its sword towards me .

In contrast with this, what I felt wasn’t fear .

It was a strong anger .

What kind of provocation it was, it acted as if making light of me . It just hated that I violated its rule with my surprise attacking it from some time ago .

If that one felt like that, I’d cheat until exhaustion on this one as well .

“Don’t make light of a retro gamer!” (s.h.i.+njō)

When I threw away the potion I drank, I tightly grasped a large amount of gems inside the rucksack and shouted .

“Elementary LevelLow Radiatefuu Hindrancegoru Creationneta” (s.h.i.+njō)

A pale, semi-translucent wall appeared in front of the black death knight .

An elementary level wall spell . It would be destroyed before long if it acted violently, so I piled it up many times over .

It stopped moving temporarily in this way, next .

Grasping another gem as a subst.i.tute for a mana potion inside the rucksack, I ran off a new magic .

“Intermediate LevelMiddle RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

Failure, it was an intermediate ranking high-order quick spell .

But, I had a lot of gemsmana on hand . I’d do it until I succeeded!

“Intermediate LevelMiddle RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

Success, again .

“Intermediate LevelMiddle RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

Failure, again .

“Intermediate LevelMiddle RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

Success, once more!

“Intermediate LevelMiddle RadiateFuu Timeuua Agileloss” (s.h.i.+njō)

Upon stacking the quick spell many times over, I obtained a quick-up of advanced level rank .

Right as I did that, the black death knight before my eyes, with slow movements, was about to destroy the transparent wall at that moment .

When it brandished its blackened sword towards me, it tried to swing it downward——
