Chapter: 652
Roaring while spreading my chest.
Taking a step forward from my current position.
Counting 3.5 seconds in my head, I thrust my shield forward just as that guy’s arm, enlarged multiple times, comes flying at me.
Clang! The clear resonance rings again.
The creature’s gaps emerge as its center collapses.
I aim for that gap, ice creeping up from the ground to his body.
“Grahhh!”
“You look like a monster but you’re so sloppy! Can’t handle a little bit? Hehe!”
The monster’s red, blinking eyes lock onto me and right after, its claws, extended from all over its body, come rushing towards me.
Since I purposely changed directions to prepare for this pattern, there’s no need for Nevera to worry.
I dash forward with my shield raised.
The moment I reach near the monster, I swiftly step back to dodge its two slashes.
I slam down on its exposed head and retract.
Maybe it’s because it’s been holed up underground for so long? This monster has less intelligence than any opponent I’ve fought before.
The game’s knowledge perfectly applies here to the point it feels off.
If it continues like this…
No, let’s hold back on words. Spouting unnecessary nonsense won’t do anyone any good.
[With this in mind, it looks like winning will be easy.]
‘Agh! Grandpa! How can you say that?!’
<…Isn’t it the truth?>
‘Even if it’s the truth, there are things you shouldn’t say!’
I nagged at Grandpa in a panic, but the words he spat won’t just disappear.
The flag is up, and that pathetic idiot is pumped up to recover it. An ominous energy flows through the dark cave.
“Ooooh! Agra!”
The monster’s body swells. It doesn’t appear much larger at first glance, but the intellect engraved in its red eyes, along with the pressure surging around it, made it clear that the boss has definitely powered up.
“Eww♡ what a disgusting smell♡”
I scatter divine energy around to neutralize Agra’s aura.
While doing that, I ponder the changes that will arise with the start of this previously non-existent Phase 2.
“How long have you been sulking alone in this cave?♡”
I mock, but the reason engraved in its red is showing no signs of fading.
The moment I close my eyes and open them again, the monster’s form disappears.
A chilling sensation tugs at my side.
Following my instincts, I thrust my shield out just as the first shockwave strikes, sending my body soaring into the void.
The monster lunges at me, shooting its claws, but I erect a wall made of divine energy, blocking its advance before landing on the ground.
“How weak you are, little brat!”
I never thought the situation would come that annoys me about not waking the fairies.
If it gets emotional, it might lose its mind shortly. But how long can I hold out until then?
“You’re the same! Lackey of the loser!”
Ah, damn it.
Something rises from the ground where Nevera stood.
A booming sound echoes.
“I’m okay!”
Amidst the gray smoke, Nevera can be seen. The magic barrier that protected her only has cracks, demonstrating it adequately shielded its owner.
“Look ahead!”
However, that barrier couldn’t protect me from being distracted.
Thud! The heavy impact shakes me.
My body flies somewhere.
The monster’s laughter and Nevera’s scream fill the air.
Grandpa’s shout echoes.
Landing with a frown, I heal my wounds, feeling a sense of fulfillment from rolling around while facing Lasha.
No matter how sudden the situation comes, my body reacts instinctively.
Sigh. But this got a bit troublesome.
From now on, that thing will focus its attacks on Nevera, and my attention will be drawn to her each time.
But it’s also hard to completely ignore Nevera. If the monster focuses on her, it’ll get dangerous.
What to do? How should I hold out every time its intelligence dwindles?
– Need help?
Following the whisper in my ear, I turn my head to see a tiny fairy perched on my shoulder.
“Chick pen?”
– Hehe. Have you stopped referring to me as queen? That makes me sad.
The fairy queen pretends to wipe her eyes, but the smile etched on her lips couldn’t be hidden.
– Please don’t glare at me like that. I’m here to help you, after all?
The moment she claps her hands, the fairies resting above my head gradually rise.
At the same time, the monster charges at us, but this time the situation is different.
– Wah!? What the heck is that?!
– Disgusting!
– Get lost!
The visions of the fairies and mine overlap. The third-person perspective I’d been viewing through the monitor.
In that scene, I wore an incredibly beautiful smile.
The pure sound that had been absent returns, filling the cave once more.
Seeing the bewildered face of the monster, I stick my tongue out slightly.
You thought you were something just because I cut you some slack?
Not at all.
From the beginning until now, you’ve always been a shoddy waste of a boss.
With all my might, I swing the mace, sending the monster’s massive form crashing far away.
As the dust rises, I turn my head to see the sparkling eyes of the queen.
– Sigh. I might just fall for you.
“Got tired of the loser? Can’t pull off the nightly tasks as a god of darkness, huh?”
– Oh my, I’ve plenty of things to brag about regarding that.
When I shot her a cold glare, the queen coughed awkwardly.
– Young lady, don’t think there’s only the goddess watching your footsteps. I’ve always been cheering for you.
“…Creepy. There are so many guys like you?”
– Yes. More than you think.
Asking for a marvelous scene, the fairy queen vanished.
She must have known all along that I had returned.
Staying silent until now was probably just because I didn’t want her to intervene.
Why does that fairy queen have to be so sinister? Is it because she’s influenced by darkness?
Shrugging, I swing my mace to the side.
The monster, as if drawn to the mace, slams its face into it and rolls forward.
“Aha!♡ Are you cleaning?♡ No matter what, it feels like your disgusting smell won’t go away!♡”
Trying to sneak attacks outside the sight of ordinary people.
Trying to escape from me to target someone else.
Hiding in a corner to devise sinister strategies.
All of it was meaningless.
Even if I try not to focus, my body reacts naturally.
The time spent watching from beyond the monitor seems etched into my soul, allowing me to move instinctively.
A bit faster, tougher, and capable of using multiple patterns at once, but in the end, your antics remain the same.
Then you can’t trouble me.
After slamming down on the monster’s head again, I approach the one rolling on the ground.
Just a while ago, that beast was shouting it would kill me off—where did that monster go? Now it backs away.
“Pfft♡ You’re scared of a girl?♡ Such no guts~♡”
Maybe it didn’t want to see its limbs die in vain.
Agra’s energy swirls around me, but all that darkness disperses in an instant.
The darkness possessed by the Evil God recedes before my Authority of Purification.
The darkness that occupied the cave lifts.
The concept of light seems to seep into the underground where no brightness existed.
Standing in the center, I become the sun, illuminating the world.
Hahaha! So shoddy! Your apostle handles the authority better than you!
Looks like it’s time to switch roles. Living under the Pope’s leash seems more fitting for you.
Don’t worry. Soon, we’ll both be whining in the same place.
The moment I stand in front of the monster to finish it off, the trembling monster suddenly clutches its neck.
“For the end.”
Now I’m the one who has set the flag! Panic-stricken, I rush back, grabbing the blinking Nevera, ripping apart the anti-gravity scroll along with the explosion scroll.
“Wait! If you mix those two scrolls!”
“Bite down hard. If you dirty me with your blood and spit, I’ll make you suffer until you’re on the brink of death.”
What happens when gravity disappears, and my body floats, resulting in an explosion below?
Blast off!
As the dungeon, which lost its master, collapses, I soar among the descending debris.
I hoped we had enough distance, peering down to see something crazily swelling—tentacle-like.
Eek! They look disgusting as hell! If I get caught, I’m pretty sure I’d game over in a rated-NC scenario!
In reality, I’d be squished in between them, and neither outcome is one I like!
“Dunderhead! Speed up!”
“I don’t know anymore!”
A magic spell cast by Nevera creates a powerful gust from below, lifting us up.
Indeed, a current magician is different! I can already see the light above!
Before long, encountering the view of the surface while internally praising Nevera, I’m startled by my body shooting up at unfathomable speeds.
“Say it at least a few times that you can die alone! That obsession is creepy!? You perverted lesbian!”
“You told me to do this! And I’m not a pervert, I like men!”
As the hole in the city center shrinks, our flight reaches its apex.
Now, it’s time for the fall.
“Aaaahhh!”
– Woooah!
– So fast!
– Faster! Faster!
While I alternate glances between Nevera, who’s too busy screaming to cast spells, and the fairies, laughing with glee, I chuckle and turn my gaze downwards.
The rampaging monster’s body bursts through the hole.
Sigh. This thing is just disgusting and tough.
In a normal route, it’d disappear in 2 minutes, yet here it is.
[In a sense, isn’t this a good thing? It turned out as gloriously as you wished.]
‘Yeah, it’s not bad.’
I always meant to cause a ruckus.
Ending it spectacularly might actually be a fine way to wrap up.
After tossing Nevera in the air, I raise my mace.
The miracle I first performed.
The heroic tale I reached together with Grandpa.
When a holy knight raises a mace, a sun rises in that place.
“Die already!”
The Miracle of God brought hope to the earth.
