Chapter 247 Part 3
Guardian Tiger – A-gyo Lv.3
Divine Messenger Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Earth Attribute
Guardian Tiger – Un-gyo Lv.3
Divine Messenger Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Ground Wind Attribute
I hadn’t seen the Guardian Tigers in a long time, but they looked like very sturdy monsters.
But Irina fought splendidly, and it was checkmate for the Guardian Tigers in no time.
Irina started by blocking their movements with a wall spell, forcing them to split up.
After that, her Black Wolf, Wood Owl, and Nue went on the offensive and defeated the Guardian Tigers one by one.
The Clay Golem took the role of defending Irina.
With the support of her Pixie, the Clay Golem did just fine.
It was a perfect strategy.
Almost too perfect.
After that, with the same team composition as always, Konohana, Hyodor, and Haruna took turns challenging the Guardian Tigers in that order.
It looked like all three of them took a lot from Irina’s fighting style.
All three of them used wall spells to disorient the Guardian Tigers, just like Irina had done before them.
Haruna’s fighting style did remind me of Adele a bit though.
It was definitely quite interesting…
Although… Why did nobody try to imitate my fighting style?
I wasn’t so sure…
Of course, after the battles, I encouraged Konohana, Hyodor, and Haruna to check out what was beyond the door protected by the Guardian Tigers.
Having met the Vaiśravaṇa, their titles changed too.
But there was still a long way to go.
There were still more pairs of Deva Kings to fight.
Deva Emperor – A-gyo Lv.10
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Combat Position: Ground Wind Attribute Fire Attribute
Deva Emperor – Un-gyo Lv.10
Heavenly General Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Water Attribute Earth Attribute
Yep, I realised something then.
I knew that the GMs definitely had something against me.
What was it with these levels!? They were clearly way too high!
But… There was nothing I could really do about that.
I wasn’t planning on changing my fighting style either.
I decided to take on the A-gyo.
I got Volff, Jericho, Florin, Naraka, and Telomere to take on the Un-gyo.
Well then.
Let’s have a nice fight.
What did I have as my weapons?
I only had my Petrified Wood Staff.
I wasn’t trying to look down on the Deva Emperors or anything.
I was just aiming to fight in close range, so I wanted to have a suitable weapon.
If my Petrified Wood Staff could work its attribute destruction or resistance destruction properties on the Deva Emperors, I had a feeling the battle was going to go a lot smoother.
Well, at least that was something I was looking forward to.
As I kept hitting it with my Petrified Wood Staff, its red marker was suddenly overlaid with a smaller marker.
Alright, it was time to move on to the next phase.
「Heat Body!」
The A-gyo from earlier had the Fire Attribute.
But this Deva Emperor had both the Fire Attribute and the Wind Attribute.
If I could just destroy the Fire Attribute, then the spell would work a lot better.
Or at least, those were my intentions.
I checked the small marker on top of the Deva Emperor’s red marker, and it told me that I managed to destroy the Fire Resistance.
I gripped my Petrified Wood Staff in my hand and steeled myself.
Rushing in, I hooked my staff on its leg, before twisting the A-gyo’s arm inwards.
I could tell that it was working, since the A-gyo was unable to shake off my hand, and it was starting to take damage.
But I couldn’t keep up the joint lock for much longer. I finished off the movement with a back throw.
Of course, just throwing didn’t mean that it would be enough to defeat it.
While staying as close as possible to it, I went for another joint lock.
The position I ended up finding myself in was the arm bar cross choke.
The handle of the A-gyo’s Vajra Sword fell to the ground.
I managed to completely cut off strength to its right arm.
And as the A-gyo sat in close proximity to me, I knew it was being burned by my Heat Body spell.
It was a high-level opponent, but it didn’t take that much time for me to finish it off.
What about the Un-gyo?
It was already taken down by my Summon Monsters.
Volff, Jericho, Florin, Naraka, and Telomere…
Something felt wrong about my Summon Monster team.
Oh, I found out what was strange about them.
Telomere’s mouth was red, and there was a red liquid running down her cheek.
Her MP bar was also in an unusually perfect condition.
I had a feeling I knew what happened, but I was also scared of imagining it.
【Equipment】 Sumo Mawashi Grade C+ Rarity 5 Weight 1 Durability ?
A type of loincloth used by Heavenly Generals. Made of an unknown material.
Its function is to tighten the waist and belly together, to draw out more force by centralising the centre of gravity.
※Permanent Effect: Increased STR stat [Slight]
And they left behind another mystery item.
It wasn’t a weapon though?
Why were they trying to push me into sumo wrestling!?
「They dropped another strange item…」
「A sumo loincloth?」
「OH! That means we might get more sumo items!」
Well, it wasn’t like I could equip it straight on the spot.
I decided to put that item on hold for another time.
But I already had a plan for what to do with it.
I had a feeling it would be good if I could equip that item on Senki.
The time was 6:30 pm.
Konohana, Hyodor, and Haruna tried fighting the next pair of Deva Kings, and when they all safely won their battles, we sat down to have dinner.
We were relatively close to a Relay Portal, after all.
It was a bit of a late dinner, so I wanted to finish my meal as quickly as possible.
There was also something else that I forgot to keep in mind.
Both Adele and Irina had never fought the Twelve Heavenly Generals before.
Consequently, they also hadn’t cleared the related event either.
That was a bit of a problem.
If I had to give a reason as to why that was the case, I would say…
The problem was that the event couldn’t be cleared unless we fought all the Twelve Heavenly Generals in order, and in one go.
Something like that was going to take nearly two hours to complete just one round, and that was just considering the amount of time it would take to move around the different halls.
It wasn’t even factoring in the combat time for each of the Twelve Heavenly Generals.
It would definitely be impossible for them to clear it within the day.
「What about the Twelve Heavenly Generals?」
「Oh, that marathon event?」
She just called it a marathon…
Well, there was some truth to that.
But there was a solution to the problem.
We could just fight in Unions.
I had a feeling that the halls would be able to accommodate three parties fighting at once. In a Union, we would only have to fight each of the Twelve Heavenly Generals twice.
The idea did make sense in theory.
It would probably work just fine.
But I was still worried about the time it would take for us to make that round.
It would take 2 hours to move around the series of halls, and there would be two sets of 12 battles. Assuming that 1 battle would take us 10 minutes, it would end up taking us about 4 hours.
There was really no hope of us clearing it within the day.
「How about logging out now and trying it earlier tomorrow?」
That was Hyodor’s idea.
It was definitely worth thinking about…
Adele and the others seemed to have no objections.
Yeah… That made sense.
That would be a lot safer too.
For the time being, we spent some time moving closer to the hall where the first of the Twelve Heavenly Generals was, before I set up an Instant Portal.
The time was 7:40 pm.
We decided to come back early the next morning, at about 3 am.
Their holidays in the real world were going to end tomorrow too.
They would only have enough time to fight together in a Union until noon of the next day.
Well, it would be nice to end with a bang.
