Chapter 269 Part 1
《There are 2 messages from your friends》
When I logged in messages had come.
The time is 6:10 am.
Gimme a sec.
Let me get breakfast started.
I summon Bunraku to prepare meals.
The Ravenous Dinosaur Meat should still be okay.
No, I kinda get the feeling it’ll all get eaten up soon.
That’s right.
We have plenty of gluttons here after all.
However, for the time being, my stomach is the priority.
『We’re planning another meetup in conjunction with the fighting competition. Please join us!』
It was from Irina.
I see.
Well, I guess that makes sense?
I don’t particularly intend to participate in the tournament, but I have something to do there so.
While I’m at it watching the matches would also be fun.
So what’s the other one?
『Understood. I shall contact you again on the day』
Reply from Lambda-kun?
He understands.
He’s pretty cordial huh.
For the time being, let’s reply to Irina’s message.
Oh yeah, let’s also tell her about the status of the summoned monsters.
The Orthrus Kyokuya, the Arachne Modulus, and the Nue Raibun.
And Volff, who became a Silver Wolf.
Oh yeah, I added that the combination of Succubus and Venom Python is also suspicious.
Are Adele and Irina at the eastern sea?
Well they wouldn’t have a hard time moving.
They can just fly.
Now.
After finishing eating, I have just a little problem.
What should I do for today’s lineup?
No, before that is the destination.
There’s that suspicious place on the border of the map.
Not far from here.
We could go back and check it.
Most likely it’s just a Relay Portal.
Well, the basic idea should be a mobile lineup.
Bunraku’s spot will go to Zangetsu.
Then I summon Volff, Helix, Oma, and Kyokuya.
Now.
Feast upon the Ravenous Dinosaur Meat!
Helix was modest.
Volff and Oma were, well, good enough.
Kyokuya, what the hell!
You’re eating too much!
Shishiku and Raibun are here too you know!?
This isn’t good.
At this pace, won’t we not have enough?
More importantly, the destination.
What should we do?
Should we double back for a bit?
Should we proceed onwards?
Before that, Call Monster.
Is there a lesser demon?
There are.
There are!
Unlike last night it seems like they’re just acting alone, but they’re there.
They’re flying all over the place.
Moreover, there are quite a few huh?
But they’re individual.
Even if we run into some, we should have a plenty good chance at winning.
Lesser Demon Lv.3
Devil Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: In the Air Ground
Darkness Attribute Wind Attribute Earth Attribute Water Attribute Lightning Attribute Ice Attribute
As expected, unable to avoid them I’ve run into one.
Strange.
It’s the same Lesser Demon, right?
Its appearance is quite similar to a human.
The size too.
In its hand is a whip.
Provocative limbs.
Squinted eyes.
Its lips are wet and shiny.
The two thin twisted horns assert that it’s a demon.
To put it plainly, where’d the exotic dancer come from?
No, the Mistress?
That’s right.
This Lesser Demon was of a female figure.
I’ve enhanced us with spells.
Nonetheless, flying over the sky and making a variety of attacks, this devil is quite tricky.
Lightning strikes.
And blizzards.
A number of wind blades are released, and lumps of soil are scattered.
When I somehow pinned it to the ground with Gravity Prison, I managed to give it quite a bit of damage.
Too far ahead!
No, this devil is quick.
It even fought an even aerial battle against the helix.
Some whip attacks are also hitting my back.
They come pretty often.
What if you awaken something strange in me!
On the other hand, after I dropped it on the ground, it was an instant checkmate.
It’s extreme.
It didn’t seem to be that tough, unlike last night’s Lesser Demon.
It’s being thoroughly bitten into by Volff and Kyokuya.
Wait.
Oma is a little strange.
He had an abnormal condition.
It was Unconsciousness.
Why?
Oh!
Now that I think of it, I think he got hit by the whip.
Does the weapon itself have the effect of causing abnormal conditions?
What’s that I want it
But the whip had disappeared.
rip.
It’s par for course but you know.
In exchange, is a little bit uneven, but an Evil God’s Droplet properly dropped.
Well, is that okay?
That aside, she was a sight for sore eyes.
Please step on me the next time we meet.
No, I don’t have that kind of hobby.
I restore Oma and continue moving.
There are many lesser demons around, but if there’s a little distance they won’t attack.
It helps.
But they cannot be completely avoided.
Twice, I was attacked by a lone Lesser Demon.
Of course, I ended up taking them on.
These guys have a number of troublesome points.
Having multiple attributes is, well, fine.
But they’re all over the place.
The attacks that they launch differ depending on the individual.
It’s very troublesome that my resists aren’t one size fits all.
Because of that it’s likely that these guys would be useless for grinding.
And the weapons.
Apparently they’re weapons that give abnormal conditions.
It’s similar to the Lion Sage’s Lance I have now.
Some of the lesser demons themselves also have abnormal conditions.
I have to be very careful about my resistances on this S3W3 map.
Psycho Pod is a must.
I’m going back now because I thought the ruins I saw last night are probably a relay portal.
I’m sure now.
Same as the southern end of S5.
It will be a relay portal.
And without a doubt, there should be some sort of mechanism I can challenge to repeated battles.
Like the Lesser Basilisk, the varied abnormalities of the Lesser Demon are troublesome.
There’s some sort of trick.
Thinking that, I was convinced.
Ruins?
It looked like ruins last night.
There’s no doubt that it’s similar to ruins.
It looks temple-like and seems to be a castle.
After passing through the walls, the inside is quite wide.
Oh, this is bad.
The atmosphere is similar to the relay portal at the southern end of S5.
I look around using Sense Magic.
Like I thought, it’s there.
A sealed being.
It was a megalith.
There are many similar megaliths.
They’re scattered all around the courtyard-like place.
However, only the stone sealed by that magical power has a different surface.
There’s an engraving on it.
It’s a gate.
Now, what do we do with this?
Of course, let’s break the seal.
The difficulty level should be the same as the relay portal at the southern end of S5.
There may be risks, but there’s a chance of winning.
『Unlock!』
The spell should have succeeded.
The hue of the gate carved on the surface of the rock changes at once.
No, has it turned into a normal large wooden gate?
And infos are coming.
Battle is inevitable after all huh.
《We are truth》
《Or perhaps nothing》
《If you proceed past here, inquire of yourself》
《Blessings upon ye》
《But before that, Death upon ye》
A swell of magic power behind me.
What is it?
What will appear?
Marchosias Guard Lv.2
Event Monster Apostle
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
Marchosias Slave Lv.2
Event Monster Apostle
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
At first glance, it’s a pack of wolves.
Everything looks like a Black Wolf.
But the size is totally different.
The Marchosias Slave is certainly big, but not as much as Kyokuya.
The problem is the Marchosias Guard.
It’s bigger than Kyokuya, isn’t it?
There’s one Marchosias Guard and five Marchosias Slaves.
Our numbers are equal.
The problem is that I have no clue about their moves.
In terms of difficulty, I have to think of it as comparable to a pair of Sphinx and Spinks.
It won’t be as easy as it looks.
Let’s fight now?
「Rider-Horse Union」
Martial arts skills activated.
But we don’t start running right away.
Of course, there was insurance.
It’s Oma.
He has a defense the same as Dimension Mirror.
That’s why I had the breathing room to observe.
However.
These guys also didn’t attack immediately.
Are you making the same changes as Oma?
No, in this case, it’s close to the scene where Shishiku’s Predatory Fusion was activated.
Each Marchosias Slave is undergoing strange changes.
Like growing huge bird wings.
Like tails becoming snakes.
Like becoming half-beast half-human.
Truly creepy.
No, not about Oma, I swear.
「Gravity Prison!」
The spell was in time.
Maybe you should have been transformed from the start, huh?
I wanted to throw an insult at the apostles.
Marchosias Guard had all those changes happening at the same time.
And what was the first attack?
Breath.
However, that intense breath is bounced back in front of Oma.
A Marchosias Slave takes the Breath and quickly reduces the HP bar to nearly half.
Oi!
That’s pretty intense!!??
Of course, we can’t afford to miss this opportunity.
Volff, Helix, and Kyokuya are attacking the Marchosias Slave.
I am?
Of course, I aim for the Marchosias Guard.
This one is my prey!
These apostles are fast.
We are all strengthened with spells.
Still, they’re on level.
Stay alert.
Even if the Gravity Prison is working, they’re still fast.
It is difficult to hit with a charge since they’re fast.
It’ll be safe to just normally jab with the lance.
When the Marchosias Slave also spit out Breath at Zangetsu I was surprised.
Well, it just grazed so the damage isn’t a big deal.
It’s nothing impressive compared to the Marchosias Guard.
It seems that the level is totally different.
And the Breath attack is easy to predict.
Because they stop moving.
The same is true for the Marchosias Guard.
「Dimension Mirror!」
Fortunately, the spell was in time for the tell that Breath was coming.
And the Marchosias Guard who stopped is a good target.
I drive Zangetsu in for a charge.
It’s not a martial art, but the blow should have done a lot of damage.
There was a response.
However.
Didn’t it fall by 20%?
Wow.
Far from being the same as the Sphinx and Spinks, is it closer to an Elder?
No, is it a little below?
From it’s fast movements, its troublesomeness is certain.
Gravity Prison is working.
Even though it worked, Marchosias Guard flew in the sky.
My second charge completely missed.
Will this be a long-term battle?
No, if I burn it’s wings I can make it work.
Give it up!
In the end, I got the help of the summoned monsters who had defeated all the Marchosias Slaves.
Because the Marchosias Guard is fast.
With its wings in tatters Helix’ attacks were also effective.
It seems that even the Marchosias Guard has no choice but to be defeated when surrounded on ground.
Well, our damage can’t be ignored, but it’s acceptable.
Did I make it work?
Well, Zangetsu is a little weird.
It’s an abnormal condition.
There was an agility debuff.
Do these guys have abnormal conditions like the Lesser Demon?
Annoying guys huh!
《We are truth》
《Or perhaps nothing》
《If you proceed past here, you should restrain yourself >>
《Blessing upon ye》
《Let us surrender this place upon ye》
