586. [STAGE 35] Lord of the Flies (2)
boo oo oh… … !
The Lord of the Flies roared.
The concentration of magic engineering technology possessed by mankind – after destroying all non-empty ships, the monster continued to advance at the same speed as if there was no inspiration.
“…….”
Everyone on the walls froze in front of the shocking reality that the Airship had been shot down.
On top of the castle wall, Ash, who had always forcibly held everyone’s spirits, was no longer there.
It wouldn’t be strange if, in front of the worst monster ever approaching, terrified soldiers threw down their weapons and fled.
But it didn’t. all stayed in place.
It was because all of them were elite soldiers gathered from all over the world, and were hardened veterans on the monster front.
But, nonetheless- I can’t dare to move.
The soldiers barely managed to stand still, but were unable to fight.
Soon the monster approached the range, but he was not even ready to prepare for a shootout.
I just looked up at the strange monster approaching with my eyes wide open.
At this time, a sharp voice rang out.
“Artifact team, prepare to activate all artifacts!”
It was Lily.
The senior wizard was giving orders to the artifact team, but he was raising his voice as if everyone on the wall were listening.
“We are approaching the crossroads soon! Everyone, wake up!”
Lily’s voice was almost pleading.
“Don’t forget why we are on the wall… … !”
At those words, everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Why is the soldier standing on the wall?
of course… … It is to protect the world behind the castle wall.
To protect all the small things behind the walls of Jericho from that great ruin.
Only then did Evangeline, who came to her senses a beat late, also commanded.
“Artillery, aim-! Prepare for crossfire! All ready for battle!”
As if the petrification had been released as a group, the soldiers began to move.
My hands were trembling, my hamstrings were tingling, and my vision was blurry, but I loaded the shells, aligned the line of sight, and grabbed my weapon as I had trained to the point of exhaustion.
“Whoa… … !”
Lily, who was watching the scenery on the castle wall that was barely starting to move again, turned her head to the side.
“Use [start over!]!”
At Lily’s cry, the Artifact Team alchemists whimpered and took out a metal plate the size of a human upper body.
SSR grade water based artifact, [start over!].
If you shine an enemy inside this golden metal plate, you can forcibly move the opponent who is caught in the frame to the start of the wave – the end of the southern field.
Due to the limitation of using it once per stage, the boss monsters quickly throw their subordinates to hit them instead, or avoid them at the moment of capture. It’s an artifact that hasn’t reaped any major results from the first use until now… … .
Now I have to write this too!
“Artifact, activate!”
The image of the Lord of the Flies filled the metal plate just as narrowly as if it were captured in a camera lens, and the alchemists who aimed at the Lord of the Flies activated the artifact.
Whoa-!
The metal plate glowed white. ‘Click!’ With a sound, I will send the Lord of the Flies back to the end of the southern field.
Even if it’s an action that doesn’t mean much in front of its ignorant speed, if I can buy a little time in front of that materialized ruin… … !
If only I could create a ‘variable’!
click-!
Artifact was activated.
However, what the giant golden plate captured was not the main body of Lord of the Flies.
It was a huge fly that suddenly cut in front of the golden plate and blocked the view.
Wedge love!
A mutant fly that sortied from the main body of Lord of the Flies – This hideous monster, which seemed to have the characteristics of a mantis, beetle, and bee all mixed, blocked the front of the metal plate with its body and disappeared from sight as it was.
Instead of receiving the effect of [Start again!], he was forcibly moved to the end of the southern field.
Looking at the photo of the activation left on the metal plate, Lily burst into anger.
“Again, again?! If it’s a top-notch artifact, it’ll work properly… … !”
Immediately, Lily’s eyes widened.
“uh?”
The giant fly that attacked covered most of Lord of the Flies with its own body.
However, some parts of Lord of the Flies that were not covered remained intact in the shooting frame.
Wings in the form of infinity.
‘Could it be… … !’
Lily turned her head again to see the Lord of the Flies.
And, undoubtedly.
Some of the infinity-shaped wings that had entered the shooting frame had disappeared as if being ripped off.
“……!”
The Lord of the Flies is not a single entity, but a monster made up of countless flies.
The flies that entered the shooting frame helplessly received the effect of [Start again!], and were forcibly moved to the end of the southern field away from the main body.
In an instant, the large body of the Lord of the Flies leaned sideways, and the wings that flowed in the form of infinity swayed precariously.
boo oo oh oh… … !
However, as if it had never happened, new flies flew in and restored the wings, and the Lord of the Flies regained its balance like a lie.
However, everyone here saw it clearly. It was a short time like an instant, but he stumbled.
That monster is by no means invincible.
There is a part to attack… … !
Boo woo woo!
Whee ae ae ae-!
“The flies are approaching! Artillery units, fire! Hand-to-hand combat unit, forward!”
The giant fly monsters that came out of the body of the Lord of the Flies began to pour into the castle walls, and the cannons, ballistas, artifacts, and everyone on the walls began to fight back.
And at this moment, a vague hope hovered over everyone’s faces.
The fact that the enemy has something to attack, in other words.
Because it meant that Ash would dig into that weakness… … !
***
“That’s right, wings… … !”
Inside Geronimo.
This was the sight he saw while chasing after the Lord of the Flies and approaching at full speed. The image of Lord of the Flies staggering for a moment after being hit by [All over again!].
I nodded.
“Let’s flap our wings and make him fall!”
Right after that, a backlash came. It was Kellyson.
“During the Airship Fleet’s first sortie battle, which of the monster’s bodies were we aiming for first? Of course it must have been wings!”
“…….”
“But around that wing, a special magical turbulence is swirling around, so our bullets didn’t even reach it. Besides, Lord of the Flies now has a barrier, and as we just saw, the reason for the situation is that even if you damage it, it will even restore it! It’s a situation like this… … .”
“Conditions are met by force.”
I glared at the back of the Lord of the Flies’ head through Geronimo’s window. he’s a really big kid
“At this rate, Lord of the Flies will cross the crossroads. If he goes behind the wall, it’s over… … Junior, what is the calculation result?”
Junior, who was sitting in front of the instrument panel and scrawling something on the parchment, answered.
“Thanks to Lord of the Flies stumbling once, it bought us some time, but in the next 5 minutes, Lord of the Flies will reach the wall! In other words, in 5 minutes… … .”
It’s over.
We need to shoot him down within 5 minutes and land him in the southern field in front of the wall.
Kellison continued to assert the impossibility of the operation.
“The fact that the wings of the Lord of the Flies were just damaged is close to the effect of that artifact’s uniqueness! Besides, even the barrier is set up… … !”
“Then let’s get caught up in the uniqueness of the artifact once more.”
I tapped the bottom of our airship with the tip of my toe.
“Because Geronimo has something wonderful attached to it.”
The artifact [Firm Superstition] is attached to Geronimo’s bow.
This Nightmare Slayer Artifact, made with the magic core of the ghost pirate commander, has two functions. The first is stealth, and the second is Unbreakable.
This second effect is optimized for the ramming tactic of crashing into a ship with a ship, and in theory has the ability to break through Alcatraz’s barriers.
In other words, Lord of the Flies’ Barrier… … can break through!
Kellison’s mouth gaped, as if taken aback by my explanation.
“That’s just a theory, and there’s never a single proof… … !”
“Kelly Bay!”
I called Kelly Bay.
Kelly Bay, who was silently driving the boat holding Geronimo’s steering wheel, glanced back at me. I grinned.
“Let’s try the crazy show.”
“This bastard… … .”
Kelly Bay jerked Geronimo’s throttle to its limit.
“As expected, in the final battle, ramming with our flagship is the romance! I love it!”
Tuhak-!
Thrusters spewed fire, and Geronimo moved at full speed toward the back of Lord of the Flies’ head. In the meantime, I looked around at his men.
“Explain the operation.”
Everyone here is already tired and tired from fighting all day, but it can’t be helped. I have no choice but to crowd it out.
“Break the wings of the Lord of the Flies and make them fall. There are three current obstacles to this goal. Barrier, mana turbulence, and flies refills.”
I said one by one and folded my fingers in turn.
“The barrier is pierced with an impact.”
The barrier of Lord of the Flies is already close.
“The magic turbulence is eliminated by Junior dissolving the elements. Junior is almost at the bottom of his magic right now, so other wizards are helping him.”
Junior laughed hard, and the body bag nodded with a hand on her back.
“And after harpooning the exposed wings with Diarmudin-sama’s flame magic.”
Diarmudin grinned and puffed out his chest as if his turn had finally come.
“As it is, Geronimo burrows into the flies’ refill points and kills all the fly chicks that regenerate their wings.”
Mutant flies flew from all sides to stop Geronimo, but Geronimo pulled up the barrier and rushed tough.
The Lord of the Flies barrier rushed right in front of me. I waved my hands urgently.
“It’s over. No questions asked! Everyone, hold on tight!”
It is an opponent that does not have a strategy in the first place.
If so, what can I do, the only symptomatic treatment?
Just like prescribing medicine according to the symptoms, I have no choice but to break this side as soon as he comes forward!
“Let’s cool down the part destruction… … !”
At the same time as I shouted, Geronimo’s player collided with Lord of the Flies’ back barrier.
bang-!
Everyone inside the airship suddenly floated in the air.
Kwaji Jijik!
The artifact attached to the bow, a stone statue in the shape of a siren [Standard Superstition], began to tear through the barrier as it emitted a dazzling light.
boo oo oh… … !
The Lord of the Flies let out a wild roar and concentrated the barrier backwards, but what?
“On this ship, there are artifacts left behind by monsters crazy about ramming tactics! There’s a pilot who’s crazy about ramming tactics-!”
Tuhak-!
At the same time as my cry, Lord of the Flies’ back barrier was torn apart, and Geronimo dug straight into his back.
I saw the shape of the fly monsters constantly rotating in an infinite form.
A turbulence of strange magical power spread in all directions around it, disturbing all approaching aircraft.
“What?!”
Geronimo was also caught up in the turbulence and swayed helplessly. I groaned, barely enduring motion sickness.
“Junior! I believe in you!”
Junior had a calm complexion.
I had already finished casting the magic with [Lord of Crimson] before entering the barrier, and had completed setting the target.
Junior smiled and activated the magic.
“As much as my mother received this, I should get some decorations too.”
Zeng-!
A dazzling Halo floated in the air, and space shattered… … .
Chaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
All of the magical turbulence surrounding the Infinity Wings was extinguished.
In an instant, Geronimo regained his balance. The flying ship succeeded in flying right next to the infinity wings.
Cheeik!
The airship’s hatch opened, and Damien and Diarmudin poke their heads out in turn.
In this place where strong winds raged relentlessly, Damien fired a horse gun in all directions to block the approach of the mutant flies, and in the meantime, Diarmudin finished casting.
“How dare you wear the symbol of infinity on yourself… … .”
Flames shone in the eyes of the old wizard with an arrogant smile.
“I still wanted to burn it.”
Fuck!
The old wizard’s wrinkled fingers snapped with a cheerful sound,
Tuhak-!
A tornado of relentless fire consumed thousands of flies that formed the wings of the Lord of the Flies.
Thousands of flies were attached to each other, so the flames spread to each other without any time to escape.
The tremendous heat warmed the inside of the nostril. I barely covered my face with my arms.
After the heat subsides, lower your arms and look ahead.
“I told you, Prince Ash.”
From behind, I could see the huge body of the Lord of the Flies slowly falling towards the ground, exhaling long black smoke.
Standing against the thick smoke in the background, the old wizard leisurely brushed his beard.
“You said bringing me was the best choice?”
