Chapter 314: Agares battle and crannleap release
While I was making fried rice for supper, Kaito told me about the bulletin board information.
"Apparently, the difficulty level of this event changes depending on the conditions for clearing quests and stuff"
"Is that so?"
"Yes. It seems that sometimes Prince Finist participates, sometimes Baba Yaga does not, sometimes only Baba Yaga participates, sometimes no one participates"
"It must be pretty tough if Prince Finist and Baba Yaga don't participate, right?"
If Prince Finist were not there, we would have to defend the village from the hawk attack. Players would have to split up their troops. But aerial combat is still unsuitable for players. They would have to stay outside the village and use magic and arrows to keep them away.
"I agree. There are a few people who have learned fly magic, but I don't think they could win a fight against a hawk"
In such a situation, the one to rely on is the Baba Yagas, but even if each of them supports us since there are three of them, we are three against Agares.
I don't think it's going to go well by any means. It's an impossible game if no one participates. Oh!
"It looks like Prince Finist and Baba Yaga will be joining Mel and the others"
"Seriously!? I thought we were the only ones..."
It's not a quirk. Sure enough, before I could log in, the information was on the bulletin board.
I guess quite a few people know about the feather of finist the falcon. Well, its internet information. I'm sure there are a lot of the same people.
I finished my meal and logged in. I get on Hix with Setia, finish up the last few things and we're ready to go.
Then it's time for the event to begin. A huge magic circle unfolds in the sky in the direction predicted by Baba Yaga and a huge jet-black hawk appears.
Agares Hawk?
? ? ?
Agares Hawk comes straight at us. Prince Finist says in response.
"It looks like you're here..."
"Prince Finist..."
"I'm sorry...I'm always worried about you. But I have to defeat him"
"Yes... good luck"
Prince Finist glows gold and his figure changes.
When he opens his eyes, a huge golden hawk appears in the sky.
Finist?
? ? ?
A jet-black hawk and a golden hawk collide in the sky.
"Is that your true form!?"
"Yes. I am Prince Finist of Golden Hawk! With the radiance of this sun, I will bury you!"
"I'll take my chances! Don't think you can beat me in the rain!"
Agares Hawk shouts and the rain and wind intensify. The rain hurts! Then one of the Baba Yagas appears.
"If you think you're the only ones who can control the weather, you're wrong. You are mistaken. Show us your power!"
The orb held by the Baba Yaga shines. Then the cloudy sky cleared, revealing the night sky. Clear skies are wonderful!
At the same time, the rain and wind stop. Agares Hawk is surprised.
"Wh, What!? That's ridiculous...you've erased Demon Lord Bael-sama's curse, even if only temporarily! And what's more? I'm losing my strength...that old bastard did this to me!"
Agares Hawk tries to go for the Baba Yaga, but Prince Finist spits golden flames, which burns Agares Hawk and he is poised.
"I'm your opponent!"
"Fuck you! I'll take it!"
The giant hawks begin fighting each other in the night sky. They beam at each other. I can't get involved in that one. Then Baba Yaga tells us.
"Agares will be here soon. Boys"
"I understand. Let's go"
We move on Stra. Then a huge magic circle is deployed in the forest. It's pretty big.
I summon Legion. This time it's a raid battle. I summon the full Legion. The members are Lily, Ion, Setia, Koihi, Nowa, Ribina, Lian, Wako, Bran, Sephone, Gray, Kotetsu, Konoha, Chess, Gale, Yuuga, Kurogane, Aranea, Airy, Puyosuke, Kitsuneko, Luna, Iyuki, Mir, Hix, Stra, Dian, Astel and Rukiya.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
If the start is rainy, I still can't use Ix. There is a way to summon her after the weather clears up, but there is no chance that the opponent will try to make them beg for rain. This event was a complete Ix killer. Well, I am responsible for not taking countermeasures.
Chiffon, Miranda and Arleigh join the summoned members. Hix carries Chiffon, while Miranda and Arleigh ride on Stra.
I hold my Scarlet Ring and wait for the enemy to appear. Furthermore, this time we didn't consolidate, but formed up to encircle the magic circle.
In front of the village is me, Lily, Ion, Nowa and Ribina.
On the left from me are Lian, Sephone, Kurogane, Puyosuke, Luna, Astel and Rukiya. These are the members who attract the enemy.
On the right from me are Wako, Bran, Gray, Kotetsu, Gale, Aranea, Airy and Dian.
And on the other side of me are Setia, Koihi, Konoha, Chess, Yuuga, Kitsuneko, Iyuki and Mir.
I activated the insurance and Agares appeared with a huge crocodile.
Agares?
? ? ?
Agares Crocodile?
? ? ?
Agares looks at us and smiles.
"Hou. You foresee my appearance"
Mir, Aranea. Drop it
Yes!
Mir and Aranea's pitfalls are activated and the giant crocodile falls into a larger pit. Then the explosion magic mines and time bombs set up in the pit explode.
"Na!? Kuu!"
Agares come in front of me.
'You! While I'm talking to you"
"Rune Magic!"
I ignore him and block the magic and a magic circle appears under Agares. Agares rushes to escape, but without magic, he cannot escape and explodes.
"You! You son of a bitch! Witches"
"Huehue. Don't be naive. You'll pay for threatening us!"
"Don't think you can beat me with magic"
Agares breaks the magic seal with a potion. I didn't know there was such a recovery item. The Baba Yagas and Agares left the place and a magic battle began.
Now, let's get started too. I got a call from Arleigh.
Takuto. Agares Crocodile is turned over!
Understood
First is Gale's attack with plenty of charge.
Show it what you can do! Gale!
"Gaaaa!"
Gale instantly attaches himself to the Agares Crocodile and releases a discharge. A powerful electric shock bursts through the Agares Crocodile. However, it seems to be unaffected. It's big, but it's not that big.
Arleigh
I know. I'll take care of it
I use clear and cure the condition. Please. Ribina, Wako, Kitsuneko, Astel.
"That's it! Do it! Agares Crocodile"
Dogooooon!!
Agares Crocodile's oversized breath was released into the village behind usand slipped through.
"Ha?"
The unexpected event stops Agares' thinking. A chance to win!
"Teleport!"
"Nuu!? You, by illusion!"
Catching the Scarlet Ring with his staff, Agares answers.
Yes. Ribina, Wako, Kitsuneko and Astel, who had not participated in the battle, were asked to use their illusions to keep their eyes deceived.
Illusion is a skill that affects the surrounding scenery and the opponent. It is not affected by curses. In this case, they cast illusions on the landscape in all directions. Even the quintessential Agares was fooled by this large-scale illusion.
"Nuguu!?"
Two silver swords pierce Agares' body. Ion is the only one who can match my surprise attack by teleport.
"Discharge!"
"Guaaaaa!?"
An electric shock strikes Agares. Lily, Bran, Chiffon, Miranda and Arleigh attack Agares one after another from the sky using their martial arts.
"Gunu...don't you dare! You human-looking bastards!"
A shockwave is released from Agares and we are blown away.
"This is our demon territory! Don't think you humans can win!"
This guy is immortal like Sephone...or he seems to have a corresponding blessing or something. But I can't pull it off! I take out my staff and hold it ready.
"Rune Magic!"
"Another seal! You never learn, do you!"
Agares tries to take out a recovery item.
"I'm not going to play the same game! Shift Change!"
Me and Koihi switch positions.
Mmmm~!"
Koihi uses her spirit power on the recovery item and the recovery item leaves Agares. Agares rushed to catch the recovery item, but he bought us some time.
Everyone's attacks rush to Agares. However, Agares Crocodile gets in the way. Not yet. We have a new trump card.
An aura of fresh green light is emitted from one spot.
"What!? What the hell! That enormous magic power"
"We elves are the guardians of the forest. You don't know what that means! Answer my heart and show me it's true power! Crannleap, jewel release!"
In response to Setia's words, Crannleap reveals its true form. The jewel releases the magic power of an extraordinary tree. Crannleap is clothed in green leaves and the power of nature envelops Setia.
Crannleap (Jewel release): Rarity 7 Magic Wand Quality C+
Weight: 40 Durability: 100 Attack Power: 60
Magic Sword Effect: Wood attribute up (super), no-chanting
Jewel Effect: Continuous chanting, magic reuse time shortened (large), forest manipulation, absorption
Engraving Effect: Magic power up (large)
This is the Crannleap's jewel release!
Setia holds up her wand.
"Forest Manipulation!"
The trees in the forest grow and restrain the Agares Crocodile. Agares Crocodile tries to break free from the restraints, but it does not budge.
"It is useless. A crocodile that is just a big crocodile is no match for a tree that has roots deep in the earth"
Furthermore, the vitality and magic power of Agares Crocodile decreases and the trees grow larger. Eventually, Agares Crocodile was completely engulfed by the trees.
Amazing...this is the power of Setia and Crannleap!
"It's a nasty ability, but I'll just have to burn it down!"
We tried to thwart him, but it looks like our quest is clear. Baba Yagas appears before us.
"Huehuehue. Suck on that. Old devil...is this the devil's domain? Don't make me laugh. This is our forest. You know what that means!"
Three pillars of light appeared and magic circles were deployed one after another in the sky and on the ground.
"Th, This is not good! Nuu!?"
Agares is bound by the magic circle.
"You won't get away"
"Foolish...how could a mere witch have such power?"
"I told you. This is the forest we've been managing for years. And our house has been storing magic here for many years...for when someone comes to defile it"
So the first three pillars are the Baba houses.
"Well, it took us a while to move the houses...now, are you ready to disappear?"
"W, Wait!"
"We won't wait for you. The sin of afflicting humans and polluting the forest. You will pay for it with your own body! Judgment of the forest (Sujidieni Riace)!"
A green polar light erupted from the ground where Agares and the others were, engulfing them.
"Guwaaaaa! Lucifuge-samaaaaaaa!"
When the light subsides, Agaress group is gone and green particles fall from the sky as if to announce victory.
""Beautiful...""
Chiffon and Miranda admire the view, but they are not done yet.
"Old geezer!? What's he doing?"
"You've been underestimated for looking the other way"
Finist took Agares Hawk's back and caught him in his claws.
"Shima!? Get off me, you son of a bitch!"
Finist rises into the air, glowing golden.
"Wait, wait! You, seriously, me"
"Yes. Let me save my betrothed's soul with this radiance! The brilliance of Prince Hawk (Finist Svilkarch)!"
"Gyaaaaaaa!"
Agares Hawk was swallowed by the golden glow emitted by Finist and vanished.
Particles of golden light also rained down.
It was a rain of light that signaled the end of the reign of Demon King Bael. Then comes the info that signals the end of the event.
