The pair of bodyguards. The bigger brother was dragging his older brother.
Oh, God! Grow up!
Gutte “switched aim” from me to the brothers. If I tried to cut him down, I wouldn’t be able to get to him in time. That’s why I–
“Thunderbolt!”
He fired a magic shot.
This is the highest level of lightning strike magic, and is the specialty of the hero, Earth Drago.
A large magic circle appeared in front of my eyes, and a bolt of lightning gushed from it.
“Ooooooh!”
A hit. But the damage is almost negligible. Just before he was hit by the lightning strike, he deployed a “magic barrier”. The hit penetrated through it, but the power was considerably reduced.
As expected of a hero bearing the “Shield” crown. There is no gap in his defense.
“Oh, come on!”
Gutte rushes forward. Not to me who attacked, but to the brothers who were nearby.
“BUH!” ” BEH!”
They both got a decent ‘shove’ from him. The older brother was crushed flat between Gutte. The younger brother was blown away with his armor dented and his brother stuck to his body.
When he hit the castle wall, he came to a dizzying halt.
So this is the power of a lightning strike with a numb body.
“Ugh, giga-ga-ga-ga-ga!”
He’s completely lost all sense of reason now. What the hell? And now it’s my turn!
Gutte dropped his stance and “lunged” at me. The force of his thrust was different from the previous one.
I dodge with a flutter.
Gutte hit the castle wall.
A huge hole opens up in the wall. Not only that, but the aftermath of the impact blew the 15-meter-high wall to the top.
Fragments are flying everywhere, indiscriminately.
Are Sylphy and the others safe? I looked in their direction.
“Don’t worry about this one. My divine power is limited, but I can at least protect this place. However, if we are hit by this, we won’t be able to hold out.”
Sylphy (the earth mother goddess in the form of Sylphy) was holding her hands out in front of her, creating a semi-transparent protective barrier.
I patted my chest in relief. But I cannot rest easy.
As she said, if I were to take a serious hit, I would not be safe.
I could say the same thing.
My intuition was telling me that if I was hit by that “rush” head-on, I would be killed for sure.
I can become invincible with the special effect of the “Sword of the Hero” only once a day. But since I can only use it once, I have to think about how to use it.
“Gbogabogebaboo!”
Gutte lunged at me, drooling all over the place.
This time it wasn’t a lunge. But his arm was swinging faster than the first time, and he was aiming precisely at my blind spot. I was supposed to be out of my wits, but my movements were sophisticated.
I ended up defending myself.
I stayed close. If I open the distance, the “rush” will come, you know.
“Good. This is not a bad flow. It’s already lost its rationale. It will destroy itself soon.”
Really, would it?
I couldn’t believe it, even if God had said so.
Gutte is not only showing no signs of fatigue, but is even more on the offensive.
Again, my intuition – or rather, the man’s “experience” that I had read and stolen from one of the other men – told me that Gutte was not only not tired, but was even more aggressive.
Beat him. Otherwise, we will all die.
That’s right.
Gutte, which has turned into a beast that lives only to kill things that move, will not stop. It will never stop on its own.
Then, the only way to stop it is to defeat it.
But even if I repeatedly slash and get hit, time will only pass. Even if I shoot magic, it will be blocked.
At this rate, my strength will eventually run out and I will be killed, as well as everyone else.
If that’s the case…
“Liza! Throw me the Elixir of Fairies!”
“Huh? Oh, yes…… where did you get hurt?”
“Just hurry up!”
“Okay. Okay.”
I released a weak spell as I moved away.
Gutte stopped and defended himself. It was a direct hit, but no damage. Well, of course.
I took advantage of this opportunity to receive the “Elixir of Fairies”. I leapt backwards. The distance opened up. It’s a perfect time for him to “rush”.
Gutte sank slightly at the waist.
I also put strength into my legs.
And then I read him – the ” Shield Hero,” Garan Hurtis – and stole everything…!
“Chaos” invaded me.
It felt like viscous mud, sharp needles, and scorching lava.
A heat that burned and scorched the insides of my body. The pain of countless needles piercing me. The agony of not being able to breathe. The disgust of having my internal organs stirred up.
All kinds of pain, including some that I had never experienced before, assaulted me.
This is unbearable. I can’t keep my sanity for even a few seconds.
But I won’t be intimidated!
I opened the lid of the vial and drank half of it in one gulp. For a moment I felt refreshed, but soon the pain and bitterness returned.
But it wasn’t as painful as before. I had already experienced it once, so I could stand it for about 10 seconds.
“That’s all I need!”
“Gobaghbaa!”
As if responding to my enthusiasm, Gutte “rushed” at me.
I immediately shoved the vial into my pocket and rushed forward as well. I laid down the “Sword of the Hero”, put my free hand on the belly of the blade, and used it as a shield as I lunged at him.
The head-on collision made an explosive roar.
They stayed at the point of impact as if they were pushing against each other.
I, of course, was unharmed. I was invincible thanks to the special effect of the “Sword of the Hero”.
Gutte, on the other hand, was hit by two impacts that had the power to blow down the walls of the castle.
Even though the damage was reduced to 1/5 thanks to “Hardening (Indestructible),” fresh blood was splattered all over his massive physique, and several collarbones and ribs were broken.
But he was recovering quickly with his healing magic in full effect.
Even if we continue to fire sword blows at him, if he defends himself, he will recover faster than we can hurt him. However–.
“He’ s busy recovering. This is what I was aiming for.”
“Gug, gah?”
I kicked him in the stomach and at the same time, I read the information about the hero Earth Drago from the sword in my hand. And immediately, I.
“Thunderbolt!”
I delivered an unavoidable lightning strike at close range.
A bolt of lightning shot out from the magic circle, clinging to his body and laying waste to him.
Gutte, who had been focusing on recovery, had no time to deploy his “magic barrier”.
“——!”
Gutte vanished from the world, leaving not even a charcoal remnant, not even a scream of despair.
