80 Episode 80: The Resurrected Dead and the Angry Demon (2/2)
The target of the chimeras concentrated on the undead.
He's the one who pulled me down. You want to take him down first.
”Oh my God, Nong doesn't like rough things. I'll leave the savage to you. High Area Enchant Boost, High Area Protection, High Area Mana Boost”
When the undead activate magic continuously, our bodies are wrapped in strong light three times.
”Gwow!!”
And the chimera jumped in without getting my hair in there for a while.
”Come on!”
I get those claws to flush the Chimera attack with my black fangs.
It was then.
”What!?”
Instead of getting a chimeric claw, that arm cut in two along my black fangs.
”Wow, what the fuck!?”
Seeing it, the clear storm had also torn Chimera's leg in two with its sword.
Whatever the hell happened, I turn back to the undead.
If anything, it's the magical light that just engulfed us.
”Ho, ho, ho, I hung auxiliary magic on you guys. I don't know what I'd do with a chimera.”
”That this is auxiliary magic!?”
So much magic existed in ancient times!?
”GUAOO!!”
I will cut off another chimeric attack that strikes me again without ever matching.
As the undead put it, my attack cuts the body of the chimera like butter.
”Cheng Cheng, can we really do this?”
”Air Lancer”
The magic of the Heavenly Demon puts a wind hole in the torso of the chimera.
”Auxiliary magic that enhances magic!? Did it even exist in ancient times?!?”
”Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
I'm not sure what the devil's guide is surprised at, but whatever this is, this is a thankful reinforcement.
It's just, well, I'm afraid of what happens after the Big Eater defeats the Demon Man.
I wish I could negotiate in peace.
Either way, now we have to focus on the enemy in front of us.
Come on, big guy.
I dropped off my rushing big eater's back as I knocked down the chimera.
◆
”Huh!
Avoid the cameras that block the way, slap and lay down, and I head under the demon.
For some reason, Mr. Liseau told me to take down the demon man who was my culprit.
But why?
If that demon is all the culprits, we should all work together to fight.
Honestly, the chimeras who get in the way aren't big enemies either.
Only demons should be wary.
... Could this also be a test of whether I deserve to be an S-rank adventurer?
Before coming to this cave, when I was dealing with a demon that attacked me on the move from Wang Du, Mr. Liseau told me to show him where I deserved to be as an S-rank. Then this fight, yeah, this request is a test for that, too...
Otherwise, you wouldn't let me be the new S-rank, would you?
”Hmm? Could it have been an act to struggle with a chimeric opponent in the courtyard?
Is that what happened to you?
If you think about it, there's no way any of the most powerful adventurers in the S-ranks would struggle with such a chimera.
I'm sure everyone was fighting deliberately not to show strength.
This request itself was prepared from the very beginning as a test to see if I was the right adventurer for the S-rank!
S-rank doesn't necessarily mean you deserve S-rank just because you've been promoted to the strongest adventurer, or S-rank.
So you're in a responsible position to say you're an S-rank adventurer!
”Now I'm convinced! I mean, Mr. Lissoe and the others are asking you to try and defeat him by yourself!
When I step forward, the demon falls back and stands up so that the chimeras become walls.
But this level of chimera is not my enemy. [M]
I cut the chimeras together. [M]
”Vow!!”
The chimera jumps out of the shadows in an attempt to poke through my gap that knocked down a flock of chimeras.
”Gyuung!!”
But Moffmoff, who jumped out of behind me, flies to the chimera and intercepts him.
”Gawn!!”
Poor Chimera was slammed to the ground and became Mohmov's rice.
”Kuh, the chimeras are stuck!? Who the hell are you!? And what's that white?!?”
”I'm just an adventurer! And this is my pet Moffmoff!
I leave the chimeras on their way to Moffmoff and jump into the demon.
But here the demon smiles niggardly.
”The chimeras! Be my armor!
The chimeras jump and flock to the demon man who flew away behind them.
Then the bodies of the flock of chimeras deformed and encircled the demon's body, making it look like armor like clothes.
This is for sure...
”Hey, what the hell!?”
”Oh, that's not an armed chimera.”
Undead explains to Mr. Roddy's surprise.
”Hey undead! What is an armed chimera!? I've never heard of a chimera like that!
And Mr. Roddy inquires into the undead with a voice he can't hide his curiosity.
”Armored chimeras are living weapons that themselves become weapons and dramatically enhance the Lord. There are a lot of problems, but the overwhelming enhancements from the armed chimera can compensate for a lot of performance. You're not going to be very good with these chimeras.”
”Did such a chimera exist!? But why is there no description of that chimera left in modern times?
You're at my pace even though you're in battle, Mr. Ramies.
”This is it. That kid also has a lot of strength from knocking down a chimera with shards of white disaster, but that was only before that chimera started moving. A demon wearing an armored chimera has very little chance of winning against him...... should I run away?
”Is that such a bad situation!? Damn, big guy eater! Back off!”
Instructions go in to get back from Mr. Liseau, but the normal chimeras block my way out.
”Whether you're the one who defeated the chimera with the shard of white disaster, I won't win against you with an armored chimera all over my body! Curse your own detours that protrude to positions where you can't get backup from your peers!
Apparently, the demon stepped back to lure me out.
Still, I'm surprised the demon would use an armed chimera.
”Die, kid!
When the demon pokes his right arm, a large amount of magic bullets are thrown out of the mouth of the armed chimera that was fused to his arm.
”A magical attack by an armored chimera is like a dragon's brace. It doesn't require a spell. It's a kind of unchanging magic.”
”Oh! Unchanted magic!
”If you guys are talking like that!
I avoid the rain of magic bullets unleashed by demons as I overhear the conts of the Ramies who hear them behind me.
”It's no use. It's no use! It's impossible to avoid the rain of this magic bullet!
The Demon Man is right, the rain of the Magic Bullet is getting denser and denser, and the gap to avoid it is gone.
”I can't help it, Mana Protection Boost!
I reinforce my magic defenses with physical enhancement magic and jump into the rain of magic bullets.
”Ha ha ha! Finally give up...”
”Oh well, let's get out of here...”
”” What, no ⁉ ””
In the rain of magic bullets, the demon and the undead shout surprises at me as I rush through without even protecting myself.
”Ba, bucket or you!?”
”Bakemon or that kid!?”
”Rude. He's a normal adventurer.”
”” Where is normal? Ah!
”” ”” Yeah, I know ””
I think I heard some consent from behind... well, no.
”Damn! But I wonder if you can follow my speed!
The demon attempts to jump and mess up wide institutional walls with leg strength enhanced by an armed chimera fused to his legs.
”Hey, what speed and jumping power!?”
”This is the power of Armed Chimera!?”
At that moment, the facility was engulfed in darkness.
”Did you turn off the lights? Not this time.”
The demon's voice echoes as his sight is engulfed in darkness.
”Die hey! Kid whoa!!”
I dodged the arm-dochimera blade stretched out of the demon's right arm to a minimum and stepped out half a foot and protruded my sword.
I feel a rash on my arm and a dull touch.
”Gohoo!?”
I hear demons in the dark.
”Lights, lights”
When the undead raised his voice, the lights lit the facility again.
And in front of me was a demon whose sword I protruded profoundly pierced.
”Ba, silly... how could you avoid my attacks in the dark...? On the contrary... if you fight back and pierce my body protected by armored chimera armor...!?”
He stares at me with unbelievable eyes. [M]
”The answer is exploratory magic.”
”Exploration... you say it's magic!?”
”Yes, I activated exploratory magic the moment the facility was wrapped in darkness, and I sensed you coming in the direction, and that you had produced a blade from an arm-dochimera on your arm. After that, we just avoided the reaction.”
The demon opens his eyes in amazement.
”Stupid...... you say you instantly switched to exploratory magic in that moment and even sensed a change in the shape of the arm dokimera!?”
”What's more, arm chimeras eat the magic of their users foolishly. So when operating a nuclear stone... No, if you don't give a lot of demon stones and absorb magic from the outside, the wearer will soon run out of magic. You were using too much magic to move too slowly before you even noticed it.”
Yes, that's why the armed-chimera didn't become a major weapon.
And it's a creature. Maintenance is also difficult, so even in that sense, the cost was multiplied.
Then there is more demand for magic items that are easier to maintain.
No matter how many demons possessed higher magic power than humans, wearing armored chimeras throughout their bodies was not half as much magic drain.
If this demon was seriously studying the chimeric research he took from the undead. If I had at least loaded the documents, I would have realized that and taken good care of it.
”All we have to do is poke your gap and match the counter.”
Yes, it was just that simple counterattack.
”Kuk... you say it as if it were an easy thing to do... goop”
A demon spits blood out of his mouth and collapses.
”Ugh, what is that kid? I knew it wasn't a Bakemon!? I defeated the demon man who was born and dressed in an armored chimera.”
”Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”
”Mecha say wow. I can't do that to a normal person. As soon as you get used to fighting, you can switch to exploratory magic and shoot counters without hesitation in the dark. If you don't, you'll die fast when it gets dark.”
”It's undead, but you're going to die...”
Something tells me I like it back there.
”Anyway, that's it. Mr. Lissow, the demon crusade, which is the cause of the mass appearance of demons, has been completed. Please confirm.”
”Oh, oh... well done”
Looking back, it looks like Mr. Lissoe and the others were safely finishing their crusade for Chimera.
Hardly any injuries, and after all, it looks like the Chimera thing in the courtyard was an act to gauge my strength.
That's S-rank adventurers seniors, I didn't realize that at all.
