Chapter 109: Takuto vs Nebiros
Our only trump card is Setia's spirit summoning...it would be great if we could use it.
It's going to be tough against this guy. I'm just here to farm, but I really don't want to do that.
Nebiros is a demon so famous that it is listed in the Grimoire. He is the chief of the demons under Astaroth and the inspector of the devils. He can foresee the future and is known as one of the best seers among demons.
If the guy in front of me is the real Nebiros, I definitely don't stand a chance. It is impossible to predict the future. It's no more than harassment.
But now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to pretend that he can't predict the future.
"Yaa!"
Lily lunged at Nebiros. It's a bad habit of Lily's. But it's a good decision today. I'll get Setia ready to summon a spirit.
"Lily!? I told you not to get too close! Koihi, take care of Takuto-san and this person!"
"Y, Yes!"
"Huhu, you're an energetic dragonewt"
Nebiros takes out his staff. Is that some kind of magic? Oh no!
I thought so, but it wasn't attack magic. What is it? When I'm thinking that, then Setia shouts.
"Takuto-sama! I can't use my magic!"
What!? I checked Setia's status and saw that she was suffering from a mysterious abnormal condition. Is it an abnormal condition that makes it impossible to use magic according to Setia?
Damn, this trump card was crushed!
Nebiros laughs as he avoids Lily's attack.
"Kuhuhu. It's not good to let an elf summon a spirit. I got it crushed first. Oh, it can't be cured by clear"
Thank you very much for the information. And while dodging Lily and Ion's attacks, Nebiros's explanation continued.
"The Dragonewt's pseudo-dragonification is also annoying, but seeing as how they don't use it right away, it doesn't seem to work. The Cerian Beast apparently hasn't learned its trump card yet"
This guy's a hoot! And did he just make fun of Koihi? Absolutely unforgivable!
"But we can't go on like this. Let's deal with you guys seriously
Nebiros uses his staff to blow Lily and Ion toward us. Does this guy have a lot of strength...don't be disgusted.
Then he points his staff at us again. Is this some kind of strange magic again? While we're on guard, something crawls out of the ground. It's a zombie, for all intents and purposes. Does he use the power of a necromancer rather than a seer?
And this is our field, isn't it? We can sue this guy for damage to our reputation.
"Obstacle!"
Lily blasts the zombie away. Goodbye, zombie.
But it looks like we don't have time to pray. One after another, zombies appear. And they're so real...they'd be traumatizing for elementary school students!
"Haaaa!"
Ion slashes the zombies and although the zombies once collapsed, the cuts are connected again and they stand up.
"Eh...now, I've defeated them
I'm sure they are revived! Then it's time to play with light magic.
"Lily! Ion! Get back!"
"Y, Yes!"
"Yes!"
Lily and Ion are back. At the same time, I shoot magic.
"Laser!"
My laser hits the zombie in the head. How's that? It's a headshot. I know the weaknesses of zombies, you know.
The zombie is shot and falls to the ground. Then its head heals and it gets up again.
...Yeah. Wait a minute. That's not very...
"Kuhuhu. You can't kill zombies with light magic. Not unless you use purifying light or holy light"
Thank you for your kind words! Purifying light and holy light? What the heck is that? Is there such magic in light magic? Does that mean that this quest is a quest to challenge after remembering it!?
"Wh, What should we do? Takuto-san. We can't go on like this"
The zombies are approaching us.
Whew, stay calm. Observe and think. You must find the light of victory.
I took out a stone from my inventory and threw it at the zombies. The zombies that are hit by the rocks don't even look at the rocks, they come straight at me.
This means that these zombies don't recognize us by hearing like in panic movies, but by sight or something else.
Then I look at Nebiros. Nebiros is holding his staff towards me.
Could it be? A Necromancer...a necromancer.
Then we have a chance! I'll use my synchro skill to tell everyone about the plan just in case.
Pretend you can't hear me. I'll draw his attention. Lily and Gray, you'll be guarding the sister. It's an important role. Can you do that?
Leave it to me! Takuto!
Ion, you're the thrower. Setia, you're the archer
Yes!
Leave it to me
As long as Lily cant move due to escort, the attacker is Koihi. Can you do it?
Koihi may not have reached level 20, but she has both speed and firepower to defeat the opponent. I will teach that annoying devil the strength of Koihi.
Y, Yes! I can do it!
Good. That's a good answer. I'll create an opening, and you three can match. I'll give you the timing instructions. Ignore what I'm about to say
Yes!
"All of you, protect the Sister! We're going to win this thing!"
I give everyone false instructions that even Nebiros can hear.
"Kuhuhu. Humans are stupid. But it's better than you who doesn't understand the situation!
You're right. Humans are stupid. But not as stupid as your inability to understand the situation!
Nebiros looks at me. A chance to win!
"!!? The summoner is gone!? Where did he go!?"
Nebiros waves his staff from side to side, looking for me. Meanwhile, the zombies had stopped.
At this moment, I'm convinced that my prediction was right. These zombies were summoned by Nebiros with his magic. And the one controlling the zombies is also Nebiros. It's no wonder he's a necromancer.
So what happens if the controlling Nebiros loses sight of his target? The answer is this. The zombies will lose control and stop moving.
Now, this is where I come in. I punched Nebiros in the face.
"Guha!? Ri, Ridiculous!? When did you get so close!?"
I ignored his question and punched him in the face. I wanted to use my sword, but if I did, I'd let him get away. I have no choice but to fight, so today I fight!
Nebiros has his hands full dealing with my punches. He doesn't have time to hold his staff.

Author note:
It was a battle with the famous Devil Nebiros. It was the time when a decent villain finally made an appearance. Nebiros is famous as a sorcerer in real life.
I'll write about the book that he took out later.
