139 Battle of the Pyramid (2/2)

But we can't leave them here.

Their bodies are so emaciated, they will need rescue.

”You will call for help and carry them out. We'll take care of the rest. You'll be okay with that, won't you, Raige?

Yeah, sure.

This is where we say goodbye to Mummy and the others.

From here, it's me and Rage. And Mejed from Tona, we'll continue on.

We will go back the way we came and aim for the Heart Room.

We're almost to the Hall of Hearts. We're going to have to go through here to get to the Hall of Hearts.

Totoona explains.

Totoona is right, after a while we come to a large space.

'Good to see you, brave man. I've been waiting for you.

The one at the back of the Happi Room sees us and calls out to us.

It's a red-haired man with a long spear.

'Dahak, Prince of the Serpent!

I exclaim involuntarily.

And beside her stands Zafarada, the goddess of corruption and pestilence.

Behind her are men with good faces.

From the atmosphere, they are probably not human.

Perhaps they are vampires (vampires).

When I look at their feet, I see that the wreckage that would be the mammies are scattered around.

Some of them are black and melted mummy remains.

The mammy that preceded them seems to have been wiped out.

Mummy is not weak by any means, but it's not good enough against Dahak.

''One battle! Brave men of light! Zafarada, keep an eye out for the women behind you so they don't get in the way!

All right. Mr. Dach.

As Dahak points his spear at Rage, Zafarada gives us a bewitching smile.

'Oh good. I'm going to pay you back.'

Rage holds his sword in both hands.

Rage and Dahak slowly advance to the center of the room to confront him.

'Hmph! I got in the way before, but I can fight to my heart's content here! I'm going to feed you the poisonous spears of Pisar!

As he says this, Dahak pulls out his spear.

Fast!

My eyes couldn't see it.

But I guess Rage can see it.

I ducked and ducked.

Just then, a spear grazed Rage's shoulder armor.

''What?!''

Rage makes a startled sound.

Black smoke rises from the spot where the spear grazed.

It's melting.

''This Pisar's poisonous spear blade will rot with just a touch! Even armor can be corrupted if it's not a jewelry implement (adamant)!

As he says this, Dahak unleashes spear after spear.

Rage dexterously blocks the attacks with his right hand sword.

Rage's right-hand Sword of Radiance (Clave Solish) is a gemstone tool (Adamant), but his newly acquired left-hand sword is made of a magical alloy (Orihalcon). The left-handed sword cannot prevent Pisar's poisonous spear.

This makes it difficult to bring out Rage's original power.

However, even so, Rage is able to prevent that attack with a single sword.

''Can't I help you somehow?''

I look at the fight between the two sides and consider the spear.

'Sure. But she's not going to shut up.

Tona looks at Zafarada.

Zafarada is looking at us without any guards.

If we try to move, she will move too.

I can smell the sweet smell from earlier.

I look up into the air and see black rose petals dancing in the air.

The smell comes from the petals.

The scent of this flower is probably poisonous.

I took measures against poison before entering this pyramid. But it's best not to smoke it.

Bravo! I'll be there for you! Eat it, spear-snake (Yakulus)!

Dahark plucks a piece of his own hair and throws it to Rage.

Each piece of hair thrown turns into a winged snake in the air.

The snake's head has a blade like the tip of a spear. It is truly a spear-snake.

This is a very good example of a spear snake, or yakurs, flying through the air and attacking Rage.

It's not only that there are so many of them, but there are also Dahak's spears, and Rage seems to be in great pain.

I can no longer hold back.

I try to jump out of the way.

But Mejed stands in front of me, blocking my way.

Mejed looks at me and shakes his head.

It's like he's saying it's still all right.

'Flatten all the beasts! Come out of the fiery sun wheel! Farinish, the Holy Dog of Light!

Rage summons a medium-sized spirit of light while dodging the attacks of Dahak and the spear snake (Jakurus).

A glowing dog emerges from Rage's body.

The invoked light holy dog, Farinish, strikes down the spear snake (Yakulus) with a quick movement.

This allows Rage to focus on Dahak's attack.

''You'll do it! Brave men of light! Well then, how about this! The snakehead of Mushmache!

Dahak screams, and snake heads sprout from his shoulders.

In addition to the spear, the snake's head attacks Rage.

'Heh!　That's a very funny trick!　The Snake Prince!

Incredibly, Rage is laughing.

I've been thinking about it for a while now, but the screws in my head are flying off.

We've been together for a long time and I still don't understand it.

He doesn't seem to have any intention of losing.

Could it be that Medjed knew that this is what Rage is like?

Maybe that's why I stopped them.

Rage and Dahak continue to attack and defend.

Neither would give in. It seemed to go on indefinitely.

'Let's go!　Flashbang!

In a split second, Rage unleashes a lightning-fast sword.

''What! That's ridiculous!

The Sword of Splendor (Clave Solish) and the Sword of Magic Alloy (Orihalcon) slash Dahark's body.

Dahak falls backwards as it is.

He has really won.

All that's left is Zafarada.

”The Snake Prince is dead. How do you like it? You still want to do it?

With a triumphant look on his face, Rage points his sword at Zafarada.

''You really are so strong to beat that Daha-kun, aren't you? But I wonder if it's really the end?

What?

That was the moment Rage tilted his head.

'It took! Brave men of light! Circulation of reincarnated snakes, Ouroboros Regeneration!

With a shout, Dahak wakes up.

Incredibly, the slashed wounds are restored in an instant.

Dahak swings his spear.

Turning towards Zafarada, Rage fell completely behind.

'Die! The Courage of Light: ......

However, Dahark's spear never reached Rage.

Suddenly, Dahak was blown away.

Dahark grunts as he hits the wall.

This time Zafarada has a look on his face that says he can't believe it.

I look and before I know it, Medjed is standing at Rage's side.

In an instant, he seems to have closed the gap and blown Dahak away.

'Who are you before you! You cloth bastard!

Dahak gets up and raises his spear and attacks Medjed.

'Don't forget me, serpent prince!

This time, Rage attacks Dahak from the side.

The Sword of Splendor (Clave Solish) slashes through Dahak's body.

Dahak collapses again.

Rage does not follow up.

He is wary, thinking that he will regenerate again in an instant and fight back.

'd*mn! d*mn you!

Dahak spits blood and grunts.

It doesn't seem to regenerate like it did earlier.

Maybe he can't use it again and again.

''Daha-kun! It's Evil Blood Mist!

A red, bloody mist blows out of Zafarada's body.

Rage and Medjed escape backwards.

The red mist covers Dahak, making it impossible to see in front of him.

And when the fog disappears. Dahak and Zafarada are gone.

'Looks like we didn't make a thwarting move. It was close.

Rage muttered and looked at Medjed.

His eyes were the eyes of an enemy.

'Tona-chan. Who is this guy?'

That's what I wanted to know too.

Mejed's move earlier was unusual.

I wanted to thank him for saving Rage, but I was more concerned about who he was.

'No. I can't tell you. We need to go further than that. It's right between your hearts.

Totoona shakes her head at Rage's words and looks in the direction he's going.

She doesn't seem to be willing to tell him who Mejed is.

Totoona's condition makes it impossible for Rage to hear any more about it.

There are a lot of things that are bothering me, but it seems we have no choice but to move on.

I look at the path that leads to the heart.
