chapter 31
31. Decisive Battle (1)
“Ait Sitpal! It’s not even a stone head!”
My fist that hit me was tingling.
It was a blow so hard that when I took off the glove, I wondered if I had bruises on my hand, but I guess it was too much to knock down.

I remember that it was 1900 lines when I first saw it, but perhaps it was because the correction value was applied according to the number of people, it was showing a truly hopeless number.
At least that’s how much Union and Hayden gave me.
Even though she lost her balance after being beaten in the air, those menacing eyes were still looking at me.
There have been three deaths to come this far.
The sixth life he lost while cutting those ice blocks.
The first time I swung my sword too quickly.
The price of mishandling is getting stuck in the ice. To become bloody rice cakes.
“Ah.”

Then I made a mistake in breaking the defense magic.
Magic that breaks and eats any weapon it encounters, so I took out the holy sword on my own to poke a loophole at once, but ended up at a loss.
It wasn’t destroyed, but the reaction to it came back, and it was a mistake to let go of the holy sword.
“Ah…”
Soon after, the magic that came upon them shattered them into pieces.

I was able to break the defensive magic by pouring enormous power into a cheap iron sword instead of a holy sword… But I couldn’t prepare for the next one.
The intangible blades that suddenly spewed out, neatly cut into six equal parts just as he was trying to pull out the holy sword.
“aaa…!”

Maybe it didn’t hit the 10-unit penalty line for sanity loss, the penalty alarm didn’t pop up even for the 8th time.
Repeated three times.
Signing a contract with the Alliance, picking up Yerica and Floren, heading to the Mage Tower, and robbing the warehouse.
Nothing should have changed.
Opportunity to re-challenge with the same appearance, same time, and same process.
This time, I evaded the magic trail earlier.
Immediately after that, he took out the holy sword and tried to prepare for a counterattack, but unfortunately, he couldn’t help it because he wasn’t prepared.
”Crystal Punch!”
Instead, he stuck his fist in hopes that he would come to his senses, but for some reason, it felt like Legarete’s face was more poisonous.
It was an instant to reach the ground.
Legarete, which fell leaving a huge shockwave, ate several buildings in an instant and left a long trail on the ground.
If I leave it as it is, I will end up in the same rat trap.
“Yericaaa!”
“Okay, got it!”
Yerica flew from the sky before I knew it, holding onto one of her arms and hurling her scroll without ceasing while shouting her spell.
“[Flight], [Flight], [Flight], [Flight], [Flight], [Flight] ], [Flight]!”
Whoops!
I wonder if the effort to somehow reduce the acceleration worked, and I managed to stop when I had only 3m left to the ground.
Of course, there were other efforts as well.
[Crackle! It was fun kid!]
The sylphs Floren summoned chattered under me.
It was a small force, but thanks to the strong support from below, I was able to survive.
“Sa, lived…!”
After slowly descending to the floor, Yerica, who was lying on her back, exhaled heavily.
“No, not some kind of human Meteor…!”
She wouldn’t have even attempted it if it wasn’t for her coin.
And she was half a gambler, and blew her life three times simply for one attack.
In addition, considering the loss of sanity points that occur every time you die, you took into account the penalty, but luckily it didn’t seem to have reached the 10 point level.
Three deaths and three losses… If you’re lucky, it might end at -3, but if you consider that the average of hexahedral dice is 3, wouldn’t it be a close stop at -8 or -9?
It was a reckless act in a way, but it was well worth it.
The red slash that covered the entire city has been lifted.
It must have been a boss-specific annihilation, the worst pattern in which everyone would surely die if not blocked.
I, too, lay flat on the floor, just like Yerica.
“Looking at her wearing it, she must have robbed her warehouse after all.”
As if he had expected that to happen, Hayden clicked his tongue and approached, while Lucky looked this way suspiciously.
That’s probably because my appearance right now is very suspicious.
The red madman.
The look that was defined by that one word, Lucky, who finally realized it when he took off his helmet, spat out an alarming remark.
“Einheri?! No how?”
The question was, how did he blow up Legarete?
That would be the case, because the me she knew would have been just an ordinary petit bourgeois number one.
But that’s not the point.
“I managed to pull it down to the ground. I can’t eat it twice.”
Maybe I’ve done my job just by dropping the witch who was standing tall in the sky and canceling her annihilation.
Of course, it would be nice if it could end there… But that’s not possible.
Due to the impact of her fall, Legarete’s limbs were all broken, and the wreckage of the building was stuck in her body, dripping with her blood.
It was a wound that would have killed a normal person from shock, but it soon began to heal as if time were rewinding.
The appearance of seeing the Chimera’s regenerative power, a product of an illegal experiment rather than magic, and the limbs that went back together with a grotesque clattering sound, were fear itself.
“I’m afraid it will appear even in my dreams.”
Everyone tacitly agreed with Lucky’s words.
I managed to drop it to the ground in a sudden surprise attack, but even so, it was no easy opponent.
Even with such a shock to the floor, the remaining health was still 72%.
Only 2.2% Decrease
“But you still look fresh after hitting that hard?”
“You don’t have to say that much, I know, Commander.”
As soon as he could speak, sparks flew over Hayden’s shield and the ground in front of him dug a hole.
“Do something! Didn’t you come because there was a way?”
At the same time, Lucky ran in all directions trying to poke Legarete’s gaps, but he couldn’t help it. Before he knew it, the rebuilt protective magic was tightly wrapping around Legarete.
Despite the thunderbolts created by the wizards crushing Legarete, there was no damage.
That wasn’t the only problem.
[The Annihilation-Creating Sun’s operation resumes]
“What?”
The magic I thought I had canceled began to take shape again.
[Time remaining until completion of the rising sun…2:57…56…]
[Battle time 2:57…56]
Two times that overlap exactly, the alarm that can only be heard in a game where the game over time has become the same as the destruction of the city went off again..
Originally, there shouldn’t be any annihilation that has been canceled once again.

It was an accident that no one noticed and only I could notice.
“Sitpal, Drain.”
A method of absorbing the life force of the target to satisfy the energy was happening in Legarete.
However, the only difference in their relationship is that the target is the form in which Legarete herself provides life force.
A phenomenon that might be called a kind of autophagy.
Replace the powerful Legarete’s life with an annihilator?
Unreasonable equal exchange, after all, there was only one subject capable of such a thing.
I took a closer look at the nape of Legarete’s neck.
Something vaguely visible behind the long platinum hair.
“Monkey hands!”
Familiar things took their place at the root of the magic formula that was being completed in a more perfect shape and structure than before.
At the same time as I shouted, the monkey’s hand wrapped around my neck appeared and radiated mana.
It was only then that the others, as if realizing the situation, expressed their astonishment.
“No, why is that there! Hayden! How did you manage the replacement management in the magic tower! Did you know?!”
Among them, Lucky’s expression, in particular, was engulfed in frustration beyond astonishment.
But this situation was so ironic to me.
Why did the monkey’s hand, which had been providing infinite magical energy for so long, change to the point where it could use Legarete’s life force?
Hayden used to say that provoking the monkey hand with a challenge almost blew up a quarter of the continent and that the same thing would happen if you mistreated the monkey hand.
But what about now?
Perhaps he has exhausted all his strength, enough to rely on the means of drain?
Did you run into a situation where you didn’t have enough magic power to complete that annihilator?
Maybe now, if I leave Legarete alone and cut off the monkey’s hand, the explosion won’t happen.
And as soon as I remembered that thought, the alarm went off.
[Stripe ring!]
[Last Replacement Goal< /b> Found!]
Objective : Legarete Kill
Nth Th Wish< /b> Achieve(Replace)
The monkey Of the hand Complete Destroy(Replacement)-Constraints< /b> : Remaining Battle time 3Minutes B> Less than Things.
hahahaha, it sounds like the f*cking conditions.
I was used to defeating bosses using various gimmicks, but this time was an exception.
It’s not a quick kill, but rather a condition where you have to reach the end of the time limit.
[Accomplishment]
-The last three minutes.
There was no more time to hesitate when even the goddess guaranteed it.
“Jerica, give me that.”
“Yes?! Are you really going to use morphine?”
“Morphine?”
It was a type of small syringe that Yerica pulled from her bosom.
It was made before departing from the Mage’s Tower. Fortunately, there were enough ingredients at the General Store in the Mage’s Tower.
When he took out an auto injector with a needle attached to the end of a small tube that could be used anytime, anywhere, Hayden’s expression wriggled for a moment.
“Did you give up? Enough to depend on such drugs?”
“I didn’t give up.”
In reality, it would be just a drug that would cut off a direct ticket to hell, but in this world, no, it was different for me.
The last method to raise the body’s ability somehow.
Sado’s drug mixed with morphine and methamphetamine.
I mixed my blood in a tube with a solvent to dissolve methamphetamine crystals.
“I became desperate enough to depend on such medicine. Victory.”
If you don’t win, you die.
Where can there be a motive as simple yet explosive as that?
I inserted it into her left arm and squeezed the tube straight through.
1 Second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds., 4 Seconds…And
5 Seconds.
I wanted to leave my body as it is to the omnipotence directly plugged into my brain, my body as if pain had disappeared, and the strange sensation as if I had reached paradise…
“Mr….Hair…Hair…!”
I shouldn’t have.
A fishy smell of blood rose from the tongue that I forcibly bit to regain my senses, but I felt no pain at all.
Breathing, feeling in the joints, muscle movement, the body as if the sense of pain itself had disappeared.
I tried to flick my fingers… But I didn’t feel anything.
When the brain issues commands and the hand moves, it would be right to feel all the senses of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers in turn, but now I get a strange feeling as if I’m watching a game character over the monitor instead of myself. Was wrapped around
Convenienceism that only shows the result that the hand moved while ignoring the context.
And then a rising notification turned my attention.
[Apply Effect]
Destructive Weakness (01:05) – Increases status by 40% for the duration, reduces debuff effects by 99%, reduces pain by 99%, and permanently reduces status by 40% after the effect expires
Did you give 5 seconds as preparation time?
I grabbed the handle of the holy sword that was hung on my back.
A distinctly different feeling from before, I couldn’t find where Excalibur had gone, stuck in a rock.
The sword, which was easily pulled out as if it had been oiled, finally revealed itself in front of people.
People’s eyes were drawn to the spotless pure white blade.
Holy Sword Ascalon.
And the one holding it was a monster with a combined strength and agility of 459, and it wasn’t just the status that had changed.
The self-confidence and sense of omnipotence that I myself felt were scattered around.
“You… What are you? A sudden mood?”
“From now on, we will open the road with all our might. Everyone rushes, thinking there is no turning back.”
The first and perhaps the last debut match.
“Let’s go.”
[00:59]
The countdown has begun.
