584. [STAGE 35] Bow (3)
With the joining of Lucas’s party, our power surged.
There are hundreds of elite level monsters. No matter how much Lucas’s party is per diem, if they try to cope with this endless war of attrition, they will not be able to endure it in the end.
‘Escape first!’
Whether it’s a strategy or a tactic later, you can establish it only when you survive here.
Currently, the teleport scroll is useless.
We are in a situation where we have to try physical escape again.
“The bottom floor is at least close to the ground, so I think we have to make a hole there to escape.”
Junior said.
It is said that the survivors who were initially kidnapped, such as Junior, Kelly Bay, and Kellison, were trying to escape by this route.
It’s also the most realistic way in the current situation.
“Down, down, down-!”
We continued to run downstairs through the passage Lucas’s party had cleared earlier.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
Although the mutant flies continued to flock from the upper floors.
Thorkel firmly guarded the rear end, and Diarmudin continued to block the passage with all sorts of magical applications to stop their advance.
Occasionally, Body Bag threw an X-Carnival to peel off their barriers, and as if Burnout had waited, sprayed explosive bolts and exploded them.
I let out a sigh of relief as I looked at the guys getting farther and farther away.
‘At this rate, it might be easy to escape… .’
… I regretted it immediately after thinking about it.
If you are careful like this, the enemies will surprise you in other ways… !
Chow ah!
just as expected.
One wall of the room we had just landed in suddenly opened wide to the outside as if a shield had peeled off, and mutant flies from above rushed in at terrifying speed.
As their pursuit of us through the hallway was delayed, they simply opened the hatchery door, flew outside, descended, opened the door to the room we were in, and re-entered.
It was the fucking mobility of a flying monster.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Mutant flies rushed in from the flanks, and we were all taken aback by the sudden attack.
only one. Except for Lucas, who was always prepared for the worst.
“Body bag, excuse me.”
Lucas runs towards the pouring mutant flies… Body Bag telekinetically grabbed the object he was holding.
It was an X-Carnival.
As Lucas grabbed the handle of the magic sword, black energy poured out of the magic sword and climbed up Lucas’ wrist as if he had been waiting for it.
Frightened, I held back.
“Lucas, no… !”
“Do not worry.”
However, Lucas answered with a cool voice that maintained his composure.
“I’m not weak enough to be eaten by a sword.”
next moment. Lucas and the leading mutant fly collided.
Flash!
The monster fell like a straw cut.
Lucas was holding the Excarnival in his left hand and the sword he had been given with his right hand.
He tore the barriers of the monsters with a magic sword overflowing with red-black evil spirits, and cut cleanly with the longsword of light in his right hand.
Within seconds, all the mutant flies that entered through the side door were slaughtered.
“Haaaa… .”
Lucas let out a long breath while leaning his upper body forward.
“They’re no big deal if they have the means to neutralize their defenses.”
Everyone had a look of disgust watching the performance of the main character playing in a different genre alone.
Lucas twists and holds the Xcarnival and looks back at me.
“May I use this sword for a while, lord?”
“…….”
I hesitated, but gritted my teeth and nodded.
“… If it seems even slightly dangerous, you must give up using it immediately.”
“of course.”
From Lucas nodding his head refreshingly, the image of him using beast shoes in the past overlapped.
That demonic sword is as dangerous as turning into a beast.
However, in this dangerous situation that has been pushed to the limit, you can’t afford to relax.
Lucas has already overcome the temptation to become a beast himself. I decided to believe that I would be able to withstand the temptation of corruption sown by that demonic sword without any problems.
The end of the escape was now near. And downstairs, the mutant flies that had already bypassed were infested.
visor-!
Lucas jumped downstairs from the forefront, crossed his swords in front of his face, and stared straight ahead with his closed blue eyes wide open.
“I’ll break through the bow… ! Follow me!”
As if it had finally found a suitable owner, X-Carnival tore, smashed, and devoured the monsters with tremendous power that was incomparable to when thrown by a body bag.
The blonde haired protagonist who slashes down monsters as if dancing with a pair of dual-wielded swords.
‘No matter how much the main character is, I can’t imagine making him carry this much alone… .’
I kept my mouth shut as I ran along the path Lucas had laid out.
The figure of my knight who willingly dyed half of his body in darkness in order to save me, us… It made my stomach ache.
***
And finally.
You have reached the bottom of Lord of the Flies’ belly, the bottom floor of the hatchery.
While escaping to this point, Lucas was exhausted from cutting through dozens, maybe even hundreds, of mutant flies by himself.
It must have been that his energy was exhausted from using the magic sword.
“So far!”
Quickly snatching the X-Carnival from Lucas’ hand, I threw the demonic sword into my inventory.
The X-Carnival vibrated violently in my hand and tried to return to Lucas, but I forced it and locked it in the inventory.
“…….”
Lucas sent a blue gaze through his messy bangs, as if he wanted to say something, but then he lowered his head and breathed.
“Then let’s make a big hole soon~!”
Nobody pulled out a long sword and cut through the bottom of the lowest floor with a knife.
Tsukaak-!
The thick outer skin of the Lord of the Flies peeled off at once, and a strong wind poured in from the bottom.
“hmm… .”
Looking down through the open crack, we swallowed dry saliva in unison. I muttered, estimating the height.
“… It’s a bit high.”
Even though it came down to the bottom, the distance to the ground is far away.
“Bodybag, can you land us with telekinesis?”
Bodybag looked hesitantly and replied.
“This height is unreasonable… However, if you use wind magic to help reduce the fall speed… .”
I winked at Junior, the only wind magic user here.
“Junior. would that be possible?”
Junior, who recovered his mana by pouring mana potions into his stomach all the way down, let out a grotesque laugh.
“If you can do this, it will break the record for landing people with wind magic, right?”
“I don’t know who is recording, but if they do, they’ll be number one in the world rankings… ?”
Beside him, Diarmudin nodded.
“The ivory tower will guarantee the record.”
no really? Do you really have a ranking?
“I can’t stand the ivory tower ranking, whoa… !”
Junior took a deep breath and began to gather the mana of the wind with both hands.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
At about the same time, mutant flies rained down from above and from the side at the same time. Junior shouted sharply.
“Everybody jump down!”
Junior fell down first.
I was tired of the heights, but dying here anyway was the same thing. Everyone jumped down with the look of this judge.
“Daaah!”
Cuilan, who was in tears, looked at me and prayed.
“How many times have I talked about my fear of heights… Whoaaaagh!”
“Noisy! Let’s go quickly!”
After knocking off the back of the sunfish beastman king with my foot, I also dived.
Even Thorkel, who remained behind until the very end, put his shield back and jumped a beat later.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
“…….”
After exiting the ship of the Lord of the Flies, he began his free fall.
what to say
I’d dreamed of falling from a high-rise once in a while, but when it suddenly became a reality, it really didn’t feel real.
My hamstrings are numb, and it’s creepy as if the bottom of my stomach is empty.
As an Indian who has never even bungee jumped, let alone skydived, free fall was too strong a stimulus for me.
Even in the midst of this, the indicator was coming in front of my eyes in an instant.
I gritted my teeth and barely managed to keep my spirits together as I thought.
‘Isn’t this how you die?’
Fortunately it wasn’t.
Whoaaah-!
Everyone was engulfed in the wind magic that Junior had reversed, and the falling speed was noticeably reduced.
“Ooooh!”
Body Bag also whimpered with a blushing face and tried to pull us up using telekinesis magic.
With the cooperation of the two mages, we descended toward the surface at a moderate speed. Relief crossed everyone’s faces except for Quylan, who had already passed out.
boo woo woo-
And at this time, the ominous sound of flapping wings rang in my ears.
Frightened, we looked up and saw mutant flies pouring down all around us. I chewed it up and spit it out.
“These damn flying monsters… !”
It was then.
bang! bang! Taaang-!
A familiar gunshot rang out, and the heads of the mutant flies that were besieging us exploded.
“what?”
This crazy sniping skill is only one in the world. I called out my sniper’s name.
“Damian… ?!”
Doo doo doo doo-!
In the distance, the camouflage membrane peeled off, revealing Geronimo. She was in hiding due to the effect of the artifact [Standard Superstition].
And I saw Damian sitting on Geronimo’s open hatch.
Damian blinked as if he had no time to say hello to me, and he busily grabbed the long gun with both hands and fired magic bullets.
nettle liquid-
Fuck!
Before the mutant flies could even react, Damian’s sniping smashed them. The flies were shot down by long-range sniping before they could raise their barriers to respond.
Thanks to Damian’s covering fire, we were able to land safely on the ground.
As soon as we landed on the ground, we formed squares and stood ready to deal with the rest of the descending flies.
but.
“uh?”
As soon as we landed on the ground, the mutant flies abruptly stopped pursuing and turned around.
Their main base – the body of the Lord of the Flies, they busily went back.
I was nervous and about to take out the X-Carnival again, but I awkwardly removed my hand from the inventory.
“… what. Guys, where are you going?”
“Are we saying we don’t have to deal with each other anymore… ?”
Lord of the Flies is already far away.
I couldn’t really feel it while riding because it was so huge, but looking at it like this, the speed is really unbelievable.
I watched the Lord of the Flies walk away with a tired gaze.
And, humanity’s line of defense at the end of that path… A view of the crossroads.
“… ? wait for a sec.”
I blinked.
“Why do you see the castle walls?”
Why is it so far that you can see the crossroads with the naked eye?
Come to think of it.
Why was Geronimo here in the first place?
“Prince!”
At that time, Geronimo, who came closer, started an emergency landing, and Damian, who stood at the end of the hatch, screamed and reported.
“We report the current situation! A lot of time has already passed since the prince started the infiltration operation, and… !”
I gritted my teeth at Damian’s words that followed.
“Immediately after the prince rushed in, the Lord of the Flies sped up rapidly! Like when he raids the second line of defense!”
No matter how fast the plane flies, the passengers inside are just as calm.
Actually, we didn’t realize it because we were in his stomach, but after we penetrated, Lord of the Flies moved north at great speed.
“The advance was much faster than expected! So, at this rate, within the next hour… .”
Damian, who had come closer, shouted with a white face.
“Crossroads reached!”
Yes.
The monster is chosen.
Instead of wasting time trying to catch us running away like mudfish, we decided to attack our base, which was already close enough.
To catch and eat hemp and end this game.
