Chapter 171: Undead Corps and Revenge
When I reported to the Adventurer's Guild that I had completed the Trent quest, my guild rank went up and I became brown.
When I returned to the store, Rook and the others were there. Seeing that they were giving off some kind of gloomy vibe, it seemed like something had happened. Yug-san and Haru-san seemed to be busy, so I reported the request to Ruin-san first.
"I received it. Thank you for your hard work. It looks like Rook and the others had a rough time"
"I'll go ask them"
"You do that"
When I ask, Rook and the others complain.
"You didn't tell us there was going to be Living Armor!"
"Living Armor?"
"Undead in armor. They came out in large numbers because we formed a Legion and were overrun~"
Uwaa. I'm sorry for your loss.
"It's going to be tough without you, Takuto-san. Can you come with us?"
"From the looks of it, you couldn't identify it"
Everyone nodded. Then it can't be helped. I get up from my seat and Lily comes over.
"Takuto! Lily's coming too! I can defeat the undead!"
I wondered if she could defeat them as a light dragon, but it seems that she can defeat them by the effect of the holy dragon blessing. But,
"You can't use it now, right? Good luck with the store"
"That~"
When Lily says that, Ion comes.
"What are you resting on? You have to help me!"
"I know. Ion-cha~n"
Lily was taken away. I think I can handle it because I have sacred magic, but I still need insurance.
"Koihi"
"Y, Yes!"
Koihi comes in a hurry.
"I'm sure it's going to be tough with all the fighting, but do you want to come with me?"
"O, Of course I will!"
Koihi is happy. Naturally. She'll be free from store duty.
So I decided on Koihi, Gray, Hiyori, Darley and Rex as the members. It hurt that we didn't have enough members for the night, but we could make it work.
When we arrived at the Deep Red Wilderness, we first encountered an army of armor. These guys.
Living Armor Lv12
Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active
Well, let's see how strong they are.
At first, I rushed at them with Darley and the Living Armors were blown away. Oh? Aren't they weak? I thought, but then they stood up.
"When those things take damage and lose their vitality, they will recover and come back to life"
You should have told me about that in advance. It's my fault for not asking, though. When Koihi slashes the Living Armor, it recovers. Apparently, the disconnection by the weapon and the total loss of HP are cured by the trigger.
So let's kill them. Rex's strong intimidation stops them from moving and then I unleash my magic.
"Saint!"
The holy light hits one directly and it disappears. It's amazing...a single blow.
As I annihilate them with sacred magic, they all ask me questions. I didn't tell them about sacred magic, did I? When I tell them, they all gasp. Especially Rekka.
After that, I found a bunch of Ghosts and hit them with sacred magic. I'm tempted to say what all my hard work was about, but maybe this is the power of advanced magic.
I was about to get into a groove, but this was the wilderness. If you're not careful, you'll end up in trouble. And it was the right thing to do. Koihi and Gray reacted.
"Down here!"
"Gaa!"
Meerkat.
"Everyone, run!"
Eh?
Rook and the others were caught off guard and fell into the same pit trap as me, hitting their crotches. Theyre in agony.
Well, we have to tame these guys, so I can't beat them.
They kept running away until Raiden-san came back to life and he managed to get three Meerkats. It took him about 30 tries to get one. I learned how hard it is to be a beastmaster.
Just when I thought I had finished what I had to do for the day. I heard a tremendous rumble.
"Something big is coming!"
It was the sound of footsteps. What is it?
When Koihi and Gray looked in the direction of the alarm, we saw a bony elephant heading towards us.
Skull Elephant Lv20
? Subjugation Target Active
I've never seen an elephant before. If it's undead, good for us!
"Saint!"
When I use Saint, the holy light is repelled. Hmm, I guess that's it.
