𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝟖: 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞
“《Brave Sword》!”
“《Disaster Blade》!”
ㅤ
The Demon Lord and the Hero, this time, clash their skills.
The shockwave alone wipes out the lesser demons and soldiers.
However, even the rank-and-file soldiers seem to be elite, as none of them were killed by this level of damage.
The same goes for our executives.
It might have been dangerous if the Automata hadn’t prepared countermeasures.
ㅤ
“Be exposed to death━[Onimaru]!”
“Feast━[Gluttony]!”
“Kneel━[Lord Whip]!”
ㅤ
Then, following the Demon Lord, the executives unleash their true equipment and charge at Shindou.
However, there was a group that formed to obstruct them.
They were a bunch of strong-looking guys wearing white armor.
Their armor closely resembled what a woman named Ema wore when I saw her before.
In other words, they are likely the Twelve Apostles.
ㅤ
“Roar━[Jormungandr]!”
“Raise your sword━[Lancelot]!”
“Guide us━[Orpheus]!”
“Bless us━[Michael]!”
ㅤ
The Twelve Apostles also release their true equipment and counterattack the executives.
There seem to be eight apostle-like people here.
Most likely, the remaining four have gone to defend other areas.
Apparently, the dispersion of forces was successful.
ㅤ
Still, eight of the Twelve Apostles is a lot.
There are 20 executives on our side, but we can’t break through the Twelve Apostles who are fewer in number.
It’s a difference in technique and coordination.
The fruits of human effort are juggling the demons who are superior in number and status.
In fact, the executives are too simple-minded and don’t even think about supporting the Demon Lord.
They seem to only have attacking the enemy in front of them in mind.
Taking advantage of this, the Apostles are drawing the attacks to themselves and leading them away to prevent them from interfering with Shindou.
And yet, the Apostles still have some leeway to support Shindou.
We’re completely being played.
This is why I hate muscle-brains.
ㅤ
“Guahhhhh?!”
ㅤ
Ah, the Ogre King got slashed.
He doesn’t seem to be dead, but he might die if there’s a follow-up attack.
I should get closer to retrieve him.
ㅤ
But there were those who got in the way of such Automata’s movement.
ㅤ
“《Guillotine Slash》!”
ㅤ
A man with a large scythe attacks the Automata.
I managed to dodge by retreating.
As a result, I couldn’t retrieve the Ogre King, but since I saw him revive at the edge of my vision, it seemed impossible anyway.
That’s fine, but the problem is the man in front of me.
According to the appraisal, that scythe is true equipment.
And his status with the true equipment is about 5000.
ㅤ
He’s quite a formidable enemy.
Moreover, three more who seem to be on the same level have arrived.
They each hold a large sword, dual swords, and a short sword.
It means the enemy is not just the Hero and the Twelve Apostles.
On the other hand, our forces consist of the Automata and three Mithril Golems as escorts.
The status of the Mithril Golems is about 5000.
Well, I don’t think they’ll lose that easily.
By the way, I left the other forces in the dungeon because I didn’t want to lose them in the melee.
ㅤ
“From your appearance, you must be Honjo Mamori, the mastermind behind the attack on the Hero, right?”
“Your atrocities against the Hero, who is a messenger of the Goddess, deserve a thousand deaths.”
“We, the Holy Knights of the Goddess’s Church, will annihilate you.”
“Prepare to die here!”
ㅤ
A group of four true equipment users attacked.
I directed my Mithril Golem to hold off three of them.
The status of these guys and the Mithril Golem is almost equivalent.
However, considering their combat skills and the unique effects of the true equipment, I think they have an edge.
I can’t win with this alone.
ㅤ
“Die! 《Death Waltz》!”
ㅤ
And then, the last one of them, a man wielding a scythe, who was not stopped by the number of Mithril Golems, assaulted the Automata.
the Automata’s status is 1500.
Even though it can fight to some extent, it does not have the power to beat him.
ㅤ
――Well, not exactly.
ㅤ
“What?!”
ㅤ
I manually operated the Automata like the Living Armor-senpai, and smoothly parried the scythe attack with the shield in my left hand.
I lashed out in retaliation, thrusting the sword in my right hand at the scythe-wielding man.
Whether it was because the speed exceeded the man’s expectations, or because his stance was disrupted when his attack was parried, I severed the man’s left arm.
ㅤ
“Guah?!”
ㅤ
Not missing the moment he stiffened from pain, I counterattacked.
Kicked him up and destroyed the man’s symbol.
ㅤ
“Ah~～～～～?!”
ㅤ
And then, I decapitated the man whose movements had finally stopped completely.
By killing the true equipment user, a considerable amount of DP and experience points came in.
By the way, I sent the body to the dungeon and had it turned into a zombie.
ㅤ
“What the hell?!”
“What’s going on?! Wasn’t her combat power supposed to be low?!”
ㅤ
The remaining guys were agitated, seeing the scythe-wielding man easily killed.
I see, this easy kill happened because they had let their guard down due to previous information.
That was very lucky.
ㅤ
The reason why the Automata has become so strong.
It’s because the Automata is armed.
The current automata is equipped with Orichalcum armor on both arms and legs, or to be more precise, wearing Orichalcum made Living Armor.
In addition to that, an Orichalcum sword and shield.
With these, the status of the Automata has dramatically increased.
Only an idiot would think to send such a low-level force into the midst of a battlefield full of monsters.
At the very least, it’s been strengthened enough to snatch up the spoils of war!
ㅤ
By the way, this Orichalcum was a leftover, something I was able to recover from the treasury of the Awardia Republic.
The production power of the creation zombies is dedicated to mass-producing Mithril Golems.
That’s why it was barely secure enough for both hands and legs.
Well, that doesn’t matter now.
ㅤ
Now the priority is to annihilate the enemy.
I directed the Automata to charge at the remaining three people.
ㅤ
“She’s coming from the front?!”
“Don’t underestimate us!”
“If it weren’t for our first encounter, we wouldn’t be lagging behind the likes of you… What?!”
ㅤ
Against the trio causing a commotion, I used the skills of Parallel Thinking and Arithmetic Ability, and responded by switching the Mithril Golems to manual operation.
Suddenly their movements improved, and they showed an unbelievable cooperation for monsters, causing the trio to panic.
This gap was fatal.
Immediately, with one strike from the Automata, one person’s head was cut off.
ㅤ
“Nick!”
“You bastard!”
ㅤ
Two more to go.
If we’ve come this far, the rest is easy.
The remaining two were thrown into confusion by the fluid cooperation of the Mithril Golems, who now outnumbered them.
Then, like an assassin, I used the Automata to swiftly inflict a fatal wound.
ㅤ
“Darn it…?!”
“Goddess… I’m sorry…”
ㅤ
I collected the bodies of the three who died, and just like the scythe-wielding man, I sent them to the dungeon to become zombies.
Good, everything is going smoothly.
I’m getting the spoils of war quite smoothly.
Let’s keep this up.
ㅤ
The battle continues.
