249 # 236 Neckless Knight and Water Meter Activated.txt (1/2)

Lily and the others are relative to Skarlinokelos and the others.

'Ikuyo!　Grand Slash!

The two skull linoceroses that fell prey to Lily's grand slash were blown up, and the shockwave knocked the four of them off balance. It's only admirable that they don't blow up together.

Stra and Dylan, blessed by Locomoco, showered the unbalanced Skarlinokelos with a fierce poisonous breath, destroying them.

However, a number of Skarlinokelos passed by in the meantime. But Lily didn't chase after them, but attacked the Skarlinokeros in front of her.

One by one, the passing Skarlinokelos fall into a pit. Another one suddenly stops moving. Meal's trap installation and Noah's shadow binding.

Quickly, the blessing of heaven is activated in the pit. Inside the pit, Toratetsu slashes through it and Sabik tightens up and bites it.

'You've defeated them all. Lokomoko-san, Nowa-san, please.'

Meh.

Airy crushed Skarlinokeros with his horns as the Heavenly Blessing went into effect at Nowa's place, and the black iron punch flattened Skarlinokeros. Puyosuke approached Skarlinokelos while Noah tied him up in a shadow bind and took him in.

After confirming that Noah's place was wiped out, Mir looks above. Bran was fighting alone in the ghost-filled sky, using his halo and spear as his master. Lily is also struggling alone, but Bran's numbers are far greater than his and the burden was awesome.

'Locomoco-san, heavenly blessings on Black Iron-san's place next. I will strike the enemies in the sky with Black Iron-san at the center.

At Meir's proper direction, everyone gathered together, except Lily, and all at once began a long-range attack on the ghosts in the sky. In the meantime, Lilly finished off Skulllinokelos and began to move to tact.

I caught the enemy as I rode my hicks while holding my spear at the ready.

Skaldir Lv 10.

Summoned Monster Target Active

It's true that it's fast and looks hard to hit with magic and bows. But otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem.

Let's go!

Yes, Master!

Ix takes aim at Scardier with his sacred energy gun. At first he ducks, but then he hits it the next time. That thing... it's ducking by accident or something.

I attack him with a hix, and he ducks. But once we duck, Ix takes aim. This strategy seems to be the best way to go about it.

Aeon, Setia, and Liqueur. At first we'll just duck. Just aim at the duck.

I get it!

Aeon's Liqueur attacks Scardier, but it still ducks. And that's where Setia takes aim. While we're hunting one by one, a few of them pass through, but while we're stalling for time, Koibito and the others are trying to make their way to the castle walls.

'We're going!　Mr. Konoha, Mr. Chess, Mr. Yu Fang!

On Isetsu's signal, Isetsu's wind snow, Konoha's feather thrower, and Chess and Yu Fang's freezing breaths are released. Skardier and the others try to duck, but they eat a wide range of attacks that they can't duck, and they freeze.

''I'm going to do it, Konoha!

Cone!

Love Fire's Abominable Fire and Foxxo's Evil Flame are released. The evil flames couldn't defeat the Skardiers, but they could deal damage, so Love Fire chose to attack simultaneously. As a result, the Skardiers were defeated in the flames.

We also ended the battle safely with Gale and Byakuya acting as guides, and me and Setia stopping them. But we still didn't have a boss for this attack. As I was thinking that, I saw Skull Elephant being defeated one by one in the distance.

Then a communication comes from Ruin.

''It looks like the boss is here.''

A purple magic circle emerges in the sky above, and lightning strikes from it to where the Skull Elephants were. It's hard to tell from here.

'What's the boss?'

”The headless knight Dullahan. Now, Mel and her friends are fighting.

What about the rotting zombies?

'I can check it from here. I'm just wondering if the boss fight will be over before the rotting zombies arrive.

Hmm. Well, I better get to work on my game plan.

I'm going to start making operational preparations.

You're leaving Dullahan to me.

Yes, sir. My plan is the only thing that can't go wrong.

After I meet up with Lily and the others, I've changed the warp point in the dwarven village beforehand to a suitable location to conduct the operation, so I take everyone with me to warp.

I take a break for a while and admire everyone. I get a call from Ruin-san.

'Tact-kun, please take care of Dullahan. It's going to be impossible to retreat from the decaying zombies any longer.''

'Yes, sir. Lily, Setia, Noah, Livina, Bran, Mir, Konoha, Gale, Byakuya, Luna, Hix, and Strah. You guys take care of Dullahan. You'll watch out for the rotting zombies and when you get your mission orders, you'll retreat properly, okay?

”Yes!

Lily and her friends take the fight to Dullahan.

Dullahan?

?　?　?

In the battle against Dullahan, Full Moon and the others were struggling, but the heavy warriors basically had no agility value and many heavy weapons, so they were trying to time their retreat.

''Full Moon, Tact-kun has sent Lily and the others to the rescue. When the girls arrive, you should retreat.''

Yes, sir!

Then Lily and her friends arrive. The first to arrive are Setia and Noah on Hicks.

'Trident Arrow!'

Setia's sacred attribute Trident Arrow is released, but Dullahan senses it and flicks the arrow with the great sword in his hand. However, in the meantime, Gale attacked with lightning speed, but he also guarded it and pushed Gale back by force.

''Yaaaah!''

Huh!

Dullahan falls back as Lily and Bran pincer him, and as he evades, Dullahan's sword is filled with evil fire and slashes at him.

In contrast, Lily's flying lizard's great sword activates a fierce fire, and she intercepts it. The great swords clash, and although they are in a tight battle, Lily has the upper hand in terms of power.

Dullahan keeps his distance and holds his greatsword at the ready. Lily and the others all arrive and intercept Dullahan. Seeing this, Full Moon gives instructions.

''All of you!　Retreat to the freetia!　Hurry!

The players pulled together and Durahan and Lily clashed again, but Durahan, defeated by power, avoided a grueling battle and attacked with his hands. In response, Lilly defends against it, but Durahan stops moving.

''...Shadow Binding''

Noah blocks the movement, while Setia, Livina and Bran each attack.

'Trident Arrow!'

Magic bullet!

Light bullets!

The three of them seemed to have hit their attacks, but just before they hit, Dullahan disappeared in a puff of smoke.

''Huh?''

Lily and the others stop moving as they see the phenomenon for the first time.

Smoke gathers behind Lily and Durahan slashes at her. But Durahan's sword stops before it hits Lily with an unseen force. It's the spiritual power of the white night.

In the meantime, Stra releases a corrosive breath, but again, it disappears as smoke. This time, Dullahan appears behind Livina, but Gale is quick to attack her.

'What was that?!'

Setia and Bran answer Lily's question.

'It's like you're spiritualizing and moving around.

The fact that they even ducked the Sacred Attack is a tricky one... and for now, the only way to attack is from behind, but it's an invitation.

What are we going to do?　If we don't, Aeon will take all the goodies from us.

...

At Libina's words, the image of Aeon, the only one who was praised by Tact, passed through the minds of Lily and the others.

''(Resolutely stopped!)'

Lily and the others agreed in a strange way. Then Noah proposed.

''...Nowa will turn into a pseudo-dragon and take away the magic.''

'I see!　If the attack is triggered, wouldn't Dragon Absolute be effective?　Sis Setia.

'Well... if you lose your magic, you won't be able to reincarnate.

'Noah!　Please!

Upon everyone's request, Noah activates his pseudo-dragonization.

''Dragon technique!　Dragon Absolute!

The shadows around Noah gather around him, and the shadows spread as shadow after shadow dragon enters the shadow of Dullahan, who was fighting Gale. Sensing this, Gale retreats to the sky and Dragon Absolute is activated on Dullahan.

Dullahan is trapped in the shadows, and his life force and magic power are lost. Livina, who was watching it, blurts out.

''Mmmm, I can't believe my monopoly is being taken by Noah...''

No advantages.

'I'm hurt!　Bran said what he wasn't supposed to say!　I'm just as strong against a man as I am against a man!

So, you're going to have to do something about that Dullahan.

It is true that Dullahan is a male knight in disguise. But there's a problem.

''You can't do that because you don't have a face!

No matter how much of a succubus it was, it was extremely difficult to charm a faceless man. While he was doing that, Durahan's life force was reduced to a fraction of what was left, and Durahan's movements changed.

A jet-black aura overflowed from the great sword, and Durahan stabbed the great sword into the ground. Then from that point, Nowa's Dragon Absolute gradually cracks and shatters.

''...''

The moment it shatters, Nowa loses consciousness.

'Nowa!　Are you okay!

Libina, who was nearby, supports her, but Nowa's life force is nowhere near as strong as it should be. Libina and Bran shivered at the sight of Nowa.

''This is...''

Is it the effect of that big sword...

Setia, with her knowledge of the High Elves, replies.

''Probably magic power cutting. It's a skill that slices through an opponent's magic power and deals that damage to them. Ladies and gentlemen, let's leave this place to sister Lily and retreat to Tact-sama.''

'What?　Are you sure?

'If you use your magic to attack, you'll take damage, right?　This is the damage Noah-san took while sucking the life force out of his pseudo-dragonized state... it's frustrating, but it's dangerous for us.

At Setia's words, they all realized their pinch.

''Lily-sister, Nowa-san has turned most of our magic power away from us. It will be a pure sword match from here on out. Please.

I got it!　Setia!

Setia decides to leave Lily behind and they all retreat. Then there is movement in Dullahan. A face appears around Dullahan's neck, which was empty, and calls out to Lily.

'I am the one who enjoys the eternal battle with the strong. He who fights with me. Speak your name.

'It's Lilly, the eldest daughter of Leapling, Dragoneut!　You are Lily's to beat!

Good grit!　You can come!

Huh!

The great swords of Lily and Dullahan clashed and a sword fight began.

At that time, Princess Sarah-sama was in command on the city walls.

''Princess Sarah!　The rotting zombies have taken up residence at the city gates!

Wouldn't it be better to be quick?

'Not yet!　Hold on until the brave adventurers who fought for Fretia have been evacuated!

”Ha!

After all, the fear of the attacking rotting zombies was enough to break the soldiers' hearts.

''Master Ruin, what's the situation?''

”There are only heavy warriors left. We are now backed up by archers and priests. Please wait a little longer.

Okay. I'll cover them.

''What's the point of having a princess who commands the entire Fleetier Order going there...''

Mr. Brass stops Princess Sarah. In fact, the fact that Princess Sarah will be gone from this place means that she will be that much less protected. The anxiety of the knights and the people will be immense.

''But...''

'No!　You moved Garou and the Beast Demon Guild to withdraw from them.

They were actually guarding the castle gates to the death as they retreated from the decaying zombies. Still, when the princess was about to say something, a holy light was emitted from the castle gates. It was the Citrine Nova used by Oskar-san's carbuncle.

All at once, the rotting zombies disappear, but another rotting zombie approaches from behind, where the light cannot reach. But it was enough to retreat. Full Moon, who served as a lord, enters the castle gate and closes the gate as the Freetia Knights and the Beast Demon Guild people also go inside.

Then Ruin-san gives me a communication.

''The retreat is complete!''

Yes, sir. Sabik is a rainmaker!　Aeon is a dragon!　Give these guys an eye for an eye!

'Yes!　I'm going!　Dragonization!

A blue flash of light is emitted from the ion, and an oversized pillar of blue light rises to the sky. From the pillar of blue light, a dragonized Aeon emerges.

Then Sabik shouts to the heavens, and as he shouts, a dark cloud rolls in and a thunderstorm begins to fall.

'I'm going!　Dragon Technique!　Dragon Wave!

And a large amount of water turned into a wave and attacked the rotting zombies. After all, the effect of rainmaking is an increase in the effect of the water attribute. I feel the wave is stronger than before.

On the other hand, Lily, having confirmed this, takes refuge in the sky.

'You!　Come here and run away!

Lily doesn't fight alone.

Dullahan is actually fighting the players, Lily and the others. It was supposed to be a one-on-one fight, but there are rotting zombies all around him. It would be a big mistake to be criticized now.

''Hmph!　All right!　Even if it's the water of a sea dragon, it won't work against me!

It's true that it would have been impossible to defeat Dullahan if the previous strategy had been followed. But the strategy would change as the force grew.

Dullahan recognizes it visually. The sight of the water-drinking rotting zombies disappearing one by one.

''What!''

Dullahan was surprised. It was only natural, since a normal sea dragon could not generate water that could defeat the undead. However, the current Aeon was being showered with the light of Locomoco's heavenly blessing.

As a result, the Aeon's water became holy water and attacked the corrupt zombies. A deluge of holy water, from an undead perspective, this would be nothing more than a nightmare.

Lily declared victory over Dullahan with a huge smile on her face. Durahan, who can't fly and has run out of magic power, has no way to avoid this.

''Lily and the others won the mission.

My--my--Gyahhhh!

Dullahan, along with the decaying zombies, were swallowed up by the deluge of holy water and disappeared.

Aeon, who had been turned into a dragon, screamed in triumph and returned to his child's form.

'You did well. 'Aeon.'

Yeah, heh, heh.

You all fought well. Thank you.

”Heh heh heh heh.

Setia and the others, who thought that only Ion would be praised, were spectacularly wrong. Then comes an infographic announcing the complete victory.

'The level of your profession summoner has been increased. You have gained 2 status points.''

Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 1 skill point.

'The level of the summoning magic skill has reached 30. I've acquired the Summoning Magic [Combined Summoning].'

''Your spear skill level has reached 15. I've acquired the spear martial art [Whirlwind Wheel].

''The level of fire magic has reached 30. Fire Magic [Fire Blast] [Resist Heat]'

'Your fire magic level has reached 30. You can now acquire fire magic.

''The level of Water Magic Law has reached 30. Water Demon Law [Breath Rain] [Submarine]'

'Water magic level has reached 30. You can now acquire sea magic.

''Setia's magic bow skill level has reached 15. I've acquired the Bow Martial Skill [Arrow Rain].''

''Love Fire's flame magic skill level has reached 10. Flame magic [Fire Storm] and [Rava Flow] have been acquired.''

'Lian's Water Magic skill has reached level 5. Water Magic [Mist] and [Elemental Aqua] have been acquired.'

''Bran's spear skill level has reached 10. I've acquired the spear martial skill [Pile Bunker].''

It's a massive amount of info, as it should be.

First of all, my remaining skill points are now at 64 pts. Well, it's obvious that this will be gone soon. All of my status points were set to agility values.

I've got a lot of things to say about Setia's Arrow Rain and the new Love Fire fire flame magic, but I've got things to do for now.

I'm going to be able to tell you that Noah has reached level 30. The special event 'Trial of the Evil Dragon' has occurred.

'Rian's level has reached 20. You are ready to evolve.

A black fog arose from Nowa and I was swallowed up by it.
