31 31. "Tsubame dancing with the wind" VS Gargoyle.txt (1/2)

'Gargoyle, I don't know why you're out here, but let's go!　Get the usual!

Damien calls out in a powerful voice to his friends.

The God of Magic, Weisshekse, bless my comrades in arms! The weapons they wear are sharp and powerful, and a hard shield. [Enhance]

Ivo has cast a spell on the weapons of his friends.

Enhance is a useful spell that not only increases a weapon's attack and defense, but also makes it easier to deal damage to gargoyle-like opponents.

It's a useful spell that makes it easier to damage opponents like gargoyles. [Hughiene]

Johannes then exercised his auxiliary magic.

'Hughiene' has the effect of reducing the effects of poison, heat and cold air.

It only reduces the effects, so don't be overconfident.

The gargoyles' hollow eyes glowed blue.

This is like a signal that they are considered an enemy and have entered combat readiness.

''Don't take it easy. We're an opponent we can beat.''

Damien warns his companions.

The gargoyle must be a nasty demon, but the more Ivo and Johannes are around, the less difficult the attack will be.

In the extreme, we can protect him until Ivo defeats him.

I know.

As Ryner says this, he releases an arrow.

If it was just an arrow, it would only bounce off the gargoyle's skin, but thanks to Evo's 'enhancements', it sticks for a millimeter.

''Gah?''

The leisurely gargoyle barked in surprise.

''Don't you know that even a mere arrow can stab you if you use magic? Apparently, you're the type that doesn't have much combat experience.''

Damien calmly analyzes it.

If it was a demon with no good combat experience and an experienced demon, the latter would be much more formidable.

This is because surviving in battle is a proof of competence and the enemy will have the knowledge of how to defeat you.

It makes a big difference, especially if you've fought humans and sorcerers before.

(Lack of experience means they don't know our moves. I can do it.)

He thought, but did not say it aloud.

Because it might catch his friends off guard.

The color of the gargoyle's eyes change from blue to red.

It's a sign of anger, but because it's easy to understand, the humans prepared to attack.

A gargoyle's attack is simple.

They can either fly into the sky and hit you, or tear you apart with their claws.

It is said that more experienced and powerful individuals could have even more attack patterns, but the one in front of me would have no need to worry about that.

The gargoyle's body hit is received by Arnaud with his large shield.

The shield was dented by the violent impact and his large body shifted backwards.

''What a power ......, as expected of a gargoyle.''

Arnaud groaned.

If it hadn't been enhanced by Ivo's magic, he might have been rendered incapable of fighting with this blow.

While he was stopping the gargoyle, Damien slashed at the wing from the right side.

He couldn't cut it off, but he did manage to slash it in about an inch.

''Gaaaah.''

The gargoyle screams in agony and jitters and flails.

'Gugug.'

Arnaud struggles to hold on, but Damien is blown away.

In the meantime, Ryner shoots an arrow at the gargoyle's eye, successfully piercing it into his left eye.

'Gaaaaaaaah!'

It hurt so badly, the gargoyle distanced himself greatly from the cocky humans.

But in this case, it was the worst move of all.

The moment he didn't have to worry about getting his friends involved, Ivo launched his signature attack magic.
