323 - - The Rewards of the Tower

"Oh, ....... That's a nice back."

A pink effect flies from Tamamo to Merlin.

And Merlin is enhanced, his skin turning from sandy to blue-black. But his aura is pink.

He mumbles involuntarily.

>

White eyes stare at me.

"Hmph!"

Merlin holds out his hand in a spirited gesture, and a stone comes flying off the wall behind me.

.

I keep my eyes on Merlin and avoid the brick-sized stones that come flying at me one after another. I've gotten used to avoiding them with my fluttering robe, I think.

The tower seems to have been made of brick-sized stone blocks filled with mortar and rubble, and where the stones have been peeled off, clumps of dry earth are peeking out.

<

<>

While talking with White and Aldvaan by telepathy, he avoids stones and closes the distance with Merlin.

"Looks like it's over."

The flying stones stop, and I stop my footsteps. The hem of my robe returns after a delay. Does it stop when it gets close to a certain distance?　I'll wait for someone to verify the answer later.

"You're a genius!"

Marlin crosses his arms in front of his chest and exerts himself so much that the veins on the backs of his hands and arms stand out. A fireball appears in each of his hands.

>

White pats me down. The pawpaw is just a reward, though.

>

Aldvarne stands in the air with his back hairs down over his buttocks, his paws on the ground in an "eight" just like the black one. I wonder if I would be scolded if I touched the fluff on his back.

You can't avoid this!

Merlin unleashes a fireball.

"[Water] "

I imitate him and produce a wall of water from my right and left hands. Ah, so Merlin is also a double magician or something, in addition to being chantless.

My water wall blocks Merlin's fireball, and a steam explosion occurs. The direction of the explosion is on Merlin's side, but the distance between the two sides is too great to have any particular effect.

"......!　You son of a b*tc*!"

Marlin glares at us hatefully." Merlin said, "I can't avoid it." I thought it had a tracking function, so I countered without dodging, but it looks like I was right.

White, who cuts it down to the bare bones. Merlin, I suspect you're a brainiac.

Or is there a difference between strategy and tactics?　Or a fighting maniac.

"Let's beat them quickly and have some fun together, shall we?　Oh, I love the idea of a cushion on the floor with the man's warm blood running through it."

You're not very tasteful, Tamamo.

"Oh, oh!"

Hearing Tamamo's voice, Merlin shows his delight. The aura over his body becomes stronger. Stop the pink.

No! Let's shut Tamamo's mouth before he starts talking about the eighteen bans! Merlin seems to be getting stronger. But when I try to get to Tamamo by using [Shukuji], Merlin will always come in between us.

He swings his sword to the side while avoiding Merlin's fist. Merlin moves like an old man and ducks, and the destructive force of his powerful fist flows through the stone floor and cracks it.

Stay away from the woman!　No one can have my fragrance or my sweet skin!"

When he says this, he releases a strong flash of light.

He moves away from the light curtain as it slices through the stone walls and floors like a sharp, thin blade. It is magic, probably druid magic, but I don't have time to look into it.

The magic is fast, probably because of its high magical power. And even after it is activated, it is fast. I also use level 40 [Druid Magic] <, but it takes a short time from activation to impact.

Even if it is specialized in speed, I feel that it is hard for knights and warriors to use it.

"But you look nice, too. Beautiful eyes, well-proportioned body, smooth and fresh skin - oh, how I'd love to see your skin stained with blood. Your own blood or the blood of the man in front of you."

Something flew over here, too!　It appears to be a charm spell that simplifies thoughts and increases strength and magic in exchange for numbing the pain of fear and injury. Perhaps if you fall under this spell, you will end up fighting a bloody battle to the death, just as Tamamo wished.

"But charms don't work on me.

He mumbles softly and cleaves with his sword.

The blade makes a thin cut on Merlin's retreating face, and blood flows.

"An, I like the color red. I like the sword that bleeds more than magic."

With a sneer, he puts his hand into a cup that looks like a fruit cup.

He picks up something that looks like animal entrails. He swallows it smoothly without spilling any blood, and licks his tongue.

Enjoy my hot breath.

Tamamo exhales softly.

A dozen foxfires appear in the room and begin to drift slowly.

My demon fire burns your skin and sucks your magic. Be careful, both of you.

A smile twists her lips without making a sound, and she looks amused.

Both of you?　--maybe Merlin can win or lose here?　And the auxiliary reinforcement seems a bit clunky. It is powerful, but I get the impression that it is not suitable for the target (Marlin).

<< what is it? >>

<>

Two of them listen to my mutterings.

.

<>

White interrupts Black and shouts.

"Wand of the ash tree, my dwelling tree!"

Merlin shouts, and a large sword appears with a thunderbolt-like effect.

"God of War, you can't take it!

As soon as he shouts this, Marlin is hit by the foxfire and steps into the fire, not caring that his skin is burned.

>

Black advises.

<>.

Lend me your ability.

Ability loan] <>

White ability grant.

Time Magic] <,Speed up.

Druid] <>,Defense up.

Spirit] <<><>,Defense up.

At the same time, my easy set.

I duck Merlin's sword and turn around to face him. A pause.

Perhaps my still-unavailable [druid magic] is stronger. A party that has taken every precaution against wizards might miss the mark and have a hard time. But--

"I will not be defeated by a wizard with a sword."

Step in and [flash].

He entered the weak point, but did not trigger instant death. Without letting the opponent swing his sword, he takes one or two more swings and continues to attack without rest as if he were taking dance steps. There seems to be a lot of "H!

But that's all there is to it. I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you. Oh ...... oh ...... oh ...... but ......"

Suddenly Merlin stops moving, and his muscles contract with a rumbling sound. With each sound, a runic character pops out from its dented spot, followed by a shattering effect.

<

The two were right, and all that remained was an old man who could not stand on his own feet like a dead tree.

"Oh ...... oh ...... dear woman ......"

His eyes see nothing, and he sits there and begins to mumble.

I got the title of "First Solo Defeater of the Wizard's Tower.

I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat.

The first to defeat with the fewest number of people.

This information will remain confidential.

Levels have been raised. Some of the abilities are not quite right, but I don't care anymore. I had hoped that it would be raised just before the battle with Tamamo or Zuwa, but it turns out that neither of them is here. Would I be able to make it to the capital in time?　Even if I make it, I doubt I will be included in the raid. I have a feeling that the roles have already been assigned.

Maybe I should ask Cal to put me in the resident's group.　No, I'm sure they had a detailed meeting and formed up for the battle of the Imperial City, so I don't want to disturb them.

I heard the announcement and it seems that the battle is over. The reason why we haven't been able to defeat them is probably because they will be resurrected when the next attacker arrives. The fact that the tower is hidden means that this tower is a hidden element.

The effect of [Wizard of the Tower] is to increase magic defense and speed up the time from activation to landing of the magic. The latter is a bonus for the minimum number of players.

is a wand specialized in druidic magic and strengthened. Like Krulkan's staff, it seems to grow.

"Hmmm...you lost. But don't worry, I'll take your wasted magic to Tamamo-sama. You'll be rewarded too, come see me again someday.

The woman's clothes fall off and her hair ornament falls to the floor, making a hard clatter. The woman is gone.

Moreover, there is a sign that Tamamo has been enhanced.

>

<

He says as he picks up the ema (votive tablet) that had fallen on his clothes.

This ema must be the prize, and it says "a pass to the demon's world, to be held up in the proper place". That's it, I can go there from other places than where Ukon is sitting, right?

<<< Nah!　I just didn't know how this guy fights! >>

They start to play with each other.
