[Fierce Fight, ‘Doom-Bringing Spider Atlach-Nacha’]
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!”
I was running around the boss room with a screaming Korin!
Man, the boss was crazy! And I wasn’t just talking about its colossal size and its horrifying design here. The craziest part about it was…
“Its attack method, no doubt. Why the hell’s it rapid-firing ‘Armor Knights’ like a gatling gun…!”
“Ggigagyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
‘Doom-Bringing Spider Atlach-Nacha’ roared and shook its enormous body.
In the next moment, the ‘Armor Knights’ sprouting from all over its body rained down on me and Korin!
“Hahahaha! The next volley’s coming, Korin!”
“This isn’t the best time to be laughing, Yuri-san!!!”
“I mean, it’s infinite boss monster bullets! Don’t you find that messed up?”
I pulled out my swords and slashed away at the incoming black Armor Knights with the teary-eyed Kolin.
The only silver lining in this situation was that the Living Armor Knights’ levels were the same as the original.
So, being dozens of levels higher than them, Korin and I were able to cope with them somehow.
–But if things kept going as they were, we would definitely be overwhelmed before long.
“Atlach-Nacha, I… protect…!”
“Our mother… the dungeon’s guardian deity…!”
“One of the late Demon King’s Great Generals—we won’t let anyone hurt you! Activate art, ‘Summon Evil Sword’!”
The Armor Knights scattered around the ground fired countless ‘Living Weapons’ from the void!
The pitch-black sword army soared through the air. Korin ended up getting cuts all over her body while I struggled to deflect the swords.
“First, they spawn infinitely and now they summon more monsters?! How in the world are we supposed to win?!”
“Oh yeah, that’s how Armor Knight fights. It’s similar to my fighting style, now that I think about it. Man, I can’t help but feel a sense of affinity with them.”
“This is no time for a joke!”
Where are the devs?! I demand an explanation for this broken difficulty! Korin screamed.
Well, this was dangerous, no doubt. The massive spider above was spawning Armor Knights infinitely and they were summoning Living Weapons infinitely too. Before long, their numbers would reach 100 million.
It would probably only take a few minutes at most with the boss room as large as a baseball dome.
“Uuu… we should have tried to defeat the boss as fast as we could…! The room is now filled with enemies and their numbers are quickly increasing! It’s over for us…!”
“What’re you going on about, Korin? Isn’t this situation actually perfect, instead? This is an opportunity for us to practice…!”
“P-practice?!”
Yup. I mean, we were going to have a war that involved 100,000 players in five days.
To prepare for that, there was no better practice than fighting against a massive crowd of humanoid monsters…!
“Okay. Time to counterattack! Hey, Maa-kun. I’m gonna massacre your kins, but you don’t mind, right?” I called out my partner possessing my boots, Maa-kun, the Armor Knight.
You would normally hesitate to fight against your family, not to mention killing them, but…
“–Ng! Ng, ng——!”
Fuh, feel free to do with them as you wish. They are slaves to the eternal darkness, as was I in the past. However, now that I am free from that fate, we are but complete strangers. As a matter of fact, there is nothing I desire more than slaying those fools—or so Maa-kun tried to say with his growl.
Man, he was as cool as ever. “Got it!” I nodded vigorously to the partner I was proud of.
“No, no, no, no, no, what do you mean you ‘Got it!’, Yuri-san?! Do you understand the meaning of that strange growl?!”
“Isn’t it obvious? By earnestly listening with my heart, I can get the gist of what he’s trying to say.”
“Huh? But when Urutaro-san, who you always use as a taxi, barks ‘Woof, woof!’ you always say ‘What the hell are you saying?’…”
“That’s because I don’t even try to understand him, duh. He’s a dog anyway, and dogs bark.”
“Listen to poor Urutaro-san earnestly, why don’t you?!”
With Korin making a fuss energetically behind me, I swapped my swords with a scythe――! (*By the way, when I tried to listen to what Urutaro said later, he said “I love taking walks,” “I want to eat meat,” and “I want to mate.” Well, what else would you expect from a dog?)
Okay, let’s make this party more exciting!
“Naraka Realm Cursed Art, ‘Scythe of Condemnation’!”
I leaped into the middle of the Armor Knights army and swung my scythe!
At that moment, a devilish light overflowed from the scythe that turned into a gigantic blade and bisected the Armor Knights–!
“Ggageeeeeeeeeee?! Ggugaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Maybe it was furious that many of its minions had been slain? The massive spider roared.
It shook its body and shot a large number of Armor Knights off its body toward me!
A large number of jet-black armor poured down like rain–!
“Good, good! Maa-kun, activate monster skill ‘Flickering’!”
“Nggg–!”
My feet emitted ominous light. It was Maa-kun’s special ability that increased my movement speed tenfold for five seconds.
Okay, preps completed. Now, time to turn things up a notch!
“Activate Special Action Art! ‘Hassou Tobi’(lit. Eight Ships Jump)!”
With that, I leaped into the sky as fast as the wind!
Using the multitude of falling black armor as footholds, I leaped eight times in one second.
This was the effect of the Special Action Art ‘Hassou Tobi’.
While it had no offensive power, it allowed me to demonstrate phenomenal jumping power eight times in a row after activation.
With it, I reached the massive spider at the boss room’s ceiling.
My eyes met with its eight huge red eyes.
“Ggigaaaaaaaahhhh?!”
“Yo, having fun shooting down minions from this high up, aren’t we?”
–Well, lemme give you a taste of what it felt like to be on the receiving end!
“Please treat my minions well, okay? Activate special art, ‘Destructive Frenzied Summon’!”
[Grraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!]
Before the colossal spider’s presumably shocked eyes, a massive magic formation took form. From it, a hundred fiendish monsters leaped at Atlach-Nacha with booming roars!
They wrestled with the countless black armor on its body and stabbed their claws and fangs into the massive spider!
Then…
“Ggguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?!”
It surrendered to the total weight of the monsters.
With a pitiful scream, the Doom-Bringing Spider Atlach-Nacha fell toward the ground…!
