Chapter 88: Dungeon Boss (2)

Chapter 88: Dungeon Boss (2) "What? You know. Soira?"

Those who appeared from the passage beyond the door were Flora and Runon. Fortunately, neither of them had any visible injuries or were limping.

The two approached quite defenselessly. It seemed like the succubus couldn't be seen because it was hidden between me and Asil.

– Ta-ta-tak!

Suddenly my body rushed towards Flora. Once again, my body moved on its own.

The succubus is probably trying to use my body to ambush me now that I'm not caught.

"Uh? Soira. Why?"

Asil shouted at Flora, who didn't know what kind of situation I was in right now.

"It's the enemy! Soira is being controlled!"

Flora's reaction was quick.

As soon as he heard Asil's words, his expression hardened as if he understood the situation, and he immediately chanted a defensive spell.

But, you shouldn't do that.

It was a misjudgment that occurred because Flora, who usually just blew up everything with magic from the rear during battle, had little experience with being attacked.

At this timing, I had to look carefully and think about dodging rather than chanting defensive magic.

Before the chanting was complete, I stood in front of Flora and raised the potion bottle high.

Among my abilities, the highest one is agility.

Even if the succubus controlling me couldn't use the techniques I learned, I think it could at least make me run at full speed.

The potion bottle was swung around faster than Flora thought. The defensive magic was just about to be activated.

Although this alone was a chant with amazing speed, it was not enough to stop the potion bottles that were already approaching.

– Understand!

Dangerous moment.

Just before Flora was hit, something from the side intervened and blocked the potion bottle.

Runon raised his luggage in front of his body like a shield and stepped between Flora and me.

The luggage bag in which the four of us were gathered was large and moderately heavy, so an empty potion bottle was enough to block it.

The fact that I was being manipulated was discovered, and Flora was protected by Runon. The surprise attack has already passed.

Still, the succubus still couldn't let go of her regrets, so she moved her body again and swung the potion bottle.

– Paang!

However, this time, it could not even hit the luggage bag held out as a shield and bounced off in the air with a clear sound.

It was Flora's defensive magic.

The succubus must have realized that the surprise attack had completely failed this time, and tried to call me to her side, but as soon as she turned around, a spark pierced her feet.

It was a magic shot by Flora.

"Asil! "I'll hold on to Soira!"

"Thank you! Please hold on just a little longer!"

Asil trusted Flora and rushed at the succubus.

But why doesn't the succubus continue to use the hypnotic beam it fired earlier? If you just use it 4 times, it will be over in an instant.

Is this a skill with a long cooldown? Or is this a gimmick that is only used at the start of Phase 2?

While I was wondering, Flora spoke.

"Soira. I learned it before. Among the demons, there are also demons that can control people's bodies and minds. "

My body, which was under control regardless of whether Flora spoke to me or not, steadily tried to attack Flora, but even Runon could not break through, let alone Flora.

To be honest, potion bottles were not meant to be used as weapons.

If it were me, I would have just thrown it away and gone to hand-to-hand combat. In terms of simple abilities, there isn't much difference between Runon and I, so if we had, we might have won. Although I can't do it while being controlled.

Even while arguing with Runon, Flora continued talking.

"When you are controlled by such a demon, it is said that if you kill that demon, the control will be released. So don't worry. "I will rescue you soon."

Flora, who smiled softly while saying that, really had the charisma of a princess.

You didn't bother explaining it in words because you were afraid I might be anxious.

Well, normally, I would feel anxious and scared if I suddenly couldn't move my body as I wanted.

Flora's warm heart touched her heart more than ever.

This is truly heartwarming.

Flora watched me and Runon fighting and asked Runon.

"Mr. Runon. "Can I not help you?"

Runon answered without showing any signs of difficulty. No, it looked difficult, but it wasn't that it was difficult because he was blocking my attack, but rather that it was difficult because he had to carry a heavy bag and swing it around.

"Huh. Are you okay? "I was scared because I heard Soira was being manipulated, but her movements are simple, so I can endure it?"

If it were up to that point, I would have just moved on and thought that I trained diligently while he wasn't watching.

"Isn't this surprisingly worth fighting with Soira? Do you think I'm a bit strong? Haha."

There were a lot of words.

This guy. Are you saying you were looking down on me like that?

I'll have to give it a good pounding later. This is an important issue. Whether you are underestimating yourself or overconfident, you deserve to be beaten.

Looking at Runon, Flora shook her head and turned to Asil and the succubus.

It seems like they are trying to support the wizard from the rear, as per his original role.

And after finishing chanting, Flora told Runon one important thing. seaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Even though I am being manipulated, I am conscious. "I'm sure Soira heard everything Mr. Runon said just now, right?"

"What? Oh, no. For a moment. "Didn't you hear it?"

"Didn't you see me telling Soira to relax a little while ago?"

"I thought you just said it!"

"Ugh... Anyway, isn't there something else to say now?"

Only then did Runon become conscious of me.

My body was still swinging the potion bottle against my will, but it seemed to strangely gain more strength due to my mood.

Well done. It's a succubus. Break that guy's head like this!

... Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Runon smiled awkwardly and said.

"That... Hey, you know it's a joke, right? There's no way I'm fighting with Soira or something like that."

Even though it was a joke, it wasn't very funny.

I still haven't said a word, but I think my feelings have been fully conveyed.

"Uh, um... Sorry! Please just take a look!"

Runon quickly gave up making excuses and apologized.

That posture is good. But he's right, right?

There's no way everyone will just apologize. Even Flora wouldn't do that.

While I was pledging to punish Runon, Flora also joined the fight against the succubus in earnest.

"You know~! Is the fire okay?"

"Uh. It's okay!"

Because we confirmed each other's capabilities in advance, the plan was sufficiently conveyed with these vague words.

That's 'Are you okay if you get caught in fire?' 'Uh. It means 'it's okay to combine with Salamander.'

The succubus, feeling the uneasy atmosphere, tried to pull away, but Asil clung to her faster than she could.

I was prepared to get hit a few times, so I hugged the succubus and prevented it from moving.

"Don't you know that if you do this now, you'll get caught up in it too?!"

"It doesn't matter."

"What?! These kids are really all crazy-"

"『Fire Bomb』!"

Flora fired an attack spell without hesitation even though Asil and the succubus were right next to each other.

– Kwaang!

The quickly flying fireworks exploded in all directions with a loud noise as soon as they landed.

The intense heat wave, befitting the name 'spring', mercilessly burned the surrounding area.

With Asil, who was holding the succubus.

This is the magic that Flora used the most when working with me to exterminate bandits.

In other words, it is a firepower that has a record of already turning numerous wild plants into ashes. There is no need to verify again.

When the flames cleared, the appearance of a succubus with no trace of sanity on her body was revealed.

The fact that the skin did not become ugly even at the center of the explosion was the game's permission to show a cruel appearance that was not good, or was it because they were demons that they were resistant?

In any case, it was clear that he had suffered great damage.

The succubus said as if it was absurd.

"Are you crazy? You also blew away your colleagues! Even though I am a demon, I have never seen someone like you."

If there was a team kill, the opponent who should have liked it was also shocked.

"Am I okay?"

When the remaining flames disappeared and Asil appeared without a single wound, it turned into astonishment.

"What are you? Are you some kind of elemental? How did that explosion... !"

"Uh. "That's half right, right?"

An elemental is a monster that has been transformed by a spirit with malicious intent towards the human race for some reason.

If Asil's race is half human and half spirit, then half is true, so half is true.

Asil's body was filled with a red aura that had not been seen before.

That must be proof that he used the power of the Salamander to protect himself.

Still, I knew I would take some damage. Because Flora's magic is that powerful.

But there isn't even a single wound. Are you immune to that elemental attack while combined? That seems too foul.

There is no need to worry about team kill even if you sweep the entire surroundings with magic of such power.

The succubus, who couldn't keep quiet about Asil's health for a while, was struck by that fact and looked back at Flora with a stern expression.

"... "

Several 『Fire Bombs』 From earlier had already appeared around Flora, waiting to be fired.

That one alone put the succubus in a near-dead state, and it was obvious what would happen if it all exploded.

"Uh... Pretty girl? "Can you please take a look?"

It was rare for a demon to beg for mercy, but it was useless.

"I don't like it."

Because Flora had no mercy towards her family's enemies, the demons.

– Kwaang-!

A single spark flew out with a single gesture from Flora, causing a violent explosion like before.

When the flames cleared, only the succubus was left crawling on the floor, looking like it was about to die.

"Ugh... "

– Kwaang-!

This time, I burst out without saying anything.

Musher.

Asil had already run far away when her second 'Fire Bomb' exploded.

After all, no matter how much you know, I don't think it's something you can stop without pressure.

Suddenly, I realized that my body was no longer moving as it wanted.

"Ah. It moves."

"Soira! Are you okay?"

As soon as Flora heard me, she extinguished the remaining flames around her and ran towards me.

"Huh. Are you okay? Thank you."

Perhaps she was really worried, Flora buried her face in my chest and hugged me.

I brushed Flora's hair. My back was shaking little by little.

Even though she responded strongly, Flora lost her family to her demons. He must have been scared.

I stayed like that until Flora calmed down.

"Have you calmed down?"

"... Yes."

Gradually, the tremors subsided, and Flora, who had calmed down, was gently removed from her chest.

Because I still had work to do.

"Soira?"

"Wait a minute."

I raised her hand high, pushing past Flora who was looking at me curiously...

– Boom!

"Ouch!"

I threw the potion bottle at Runon, who was looking this way.

"So, Soira?"

"Runon, you said you wanted to fight with me, right? Good. Let's play a game right now."

"No, that's it. It was a joke, wait a minute, ugh!"

That day, Runon got three large lumps on his head.
