I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Angel Hunting – The Fate of Obsessive Love Part 3

◆ Forbidden Paradise ◆

“Experimental Unit 107, Camiel (Lv. 85), has fired Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Experimental Unit 108, Kugaeru (Lv. 85), has fired Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Experimental Unit 109, Kerin’el (Lv. 85), has fired Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Experimental Unit 110, Kodiel (Lv. 85), has fired Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Experimental Unit 111, Sasha’el (Lv. 85), has fired Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), has taken the stance of Sword Hurricane.”

“The Automatic Repair Machine, Naorukun (Lv. 55), has fully repaired Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99).”

We were delayed here on the third level. Four minutes have passed since the battle began, and there are less than 13 minutes remaining. With this barrage of time-delayed shots from these five entities’ heavy artillery, there’s no opening for us to exploit. Just when it seems like we could make a move, Special Mutant Mariel, the four-armed mechanical angel soldier, unleashes the Sword Hurricane, sending vacuum waves throughout the area. It’s troublesome because it can strip away all of Perseus’s Penetrate, making Perseus’s long-range immunity useless. Plus, it’s annoying that it gets repaired if we don’t attack it decisively.

If Lia-chan tries to cast magic, she won’t have time to deploy the magic circle from the activation word due to concentrated fire when she exposes herself. Even though Oniichan desperately shielded her, preventing Lia-chan from becoming a sieve, the coordination among these six entities here is incredibly annoying.

Don is obviously a target. Rena-chan tries to fire a Quick Draw Shot, but annoyingly, Units 107 to 111 have a large shield on their left arms, which they use to deflect her shots. If Chiyo-san can get to use Scarlet Shadow Lady, she should be able to defeat them, but… I know it’s selfish of me, but I just want to find some way to break through here. There’s no way we can just brute force our way through defeating these guys. This is where our gamer instincts kick in, both for Pers-chan, me, and even Rena-chan-senpai…

“It doesn’t seem like they’re running out of ammo.”

“The fact that they’re a bit higher up is also annoying.”

“To take down the rear guard, we’ll have to defeat the bulky four-armed ones in the front, or else they’ll block the stairs…”

“Ku~n… (It’s scary with things flying above my head…)”

“(´；ω；｀)”

“Can we voice our opinions here?”

Chiyo-san seems to be offering advice. Is there a way to use this step as cover and then switch to an offensive tactic? Something other than Chiyo-san’s brute force approach…?

“If we stick our heads out, we’ll be targeted intensively. What if we all stick our heads out at the same time?”

“But won’t the Sword Hurricane hit us…?”

“During that sword dance, the iron angels behind will be hidden. First, let’s use [Hundred Flowers Dance], and as soon as it ends, everyone charges. Once we restrain the four arms of the monster, Perseus and Don scatter the rear guard, then we attack the four arms from both sides. If they don’t come out, then this is the optimal solution.”

Someone seems to be analyzing the battle situation better than me… It feels like they have more experience in battles than I do… I wonder if Chiyo-san has been in this kind of situation several times before? She gives off the vibe of someone who’s been through many tough battles…

“I see, that sounds like a plan…”

“Should the rear guard take out some of them first?”

“How about I freeze them first, then we charge in?”

“You can use ice magic too! Then let’s freeze them and charge in. Does that sound good?”

“Woof!!”

“(｀・ω・)ｂ”

“Alright, let’s do it! Let’s also renew our insurance just in case. Impede, Bone Shield!”

“All party members are now in the Bone Shield state.”

“I agree! Alright then, I’ll go out and provoke the Sword Hurricane.”

“Counting on you!”

“Pers-chan, I’m counting on you! Lia-chan, please! Submerge, Negative Aura!”

“For the next 3 minutes, all party members’ stats are increased by +40.”

“Alright! You riffraff, pipe down, Serana!!!”

Now, let’s execute Chiyo-chan’s plan and Lia-chan’s quick thinking assault strategy… Huh? The three players aren’t using their brains right now…? No, that’s not something to worry about at the moment! Focus!

“Here we go!!”

“Perseus nullified the Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Perseus nullified the Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Perseus nullified the Heavy Angel Dust.”

“Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), activated Sword Hurricane!”

Pers-chan blocks the bullets, the four arms rotate and unleash vacuum waves, the rear guard should retreat behind the shield, I hear the sound of the vacuum waves landing! To confirm the situation, I peek out! It’s true! Everyone is hiding behind the shield! The four arms’ wings are turning bright red, entering heat dissipation mode! This is it!!

“Go for it, Lia-chan!!”

“Rhadha – Nadha Syerena!!! Ewules!!! Mute Blizzard!!! (Quell the masses for eternity!!! White Silence!!!)”

“Aurelia used [Perfect Chant – Mute Blizzard] ”

“Resist… Experiment No. 107, Camiel (Lv. 85), received 100 damage. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Resist… Experiment No. 108, Kugaeru (Lv. 85), received 100 damage. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Resist… Experiment No. 109, Kerin’el (Lv. 85), received 100 damage. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Resist… Experiment No. 110, Kodiel (Lv. 85), received 100 damage. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Resist… Experiment No. 111, Sasha’el (Lv. 85), received 100 damage. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Resist… Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), received 100 damage. Cooling completed. Engulfed in spatial freeze.”

“Alright, almost everyone is frozen! But, this doesn’t seem like it should freeze naturally?! It feels like we’re resorting to brute force after all?! What should we really shoot to stop them?!”

“Gawwwwwww!!!! (I can’t take it anymore!! Turn them into pancakes~!!!)”

“Don’t stop, Dontaa!”

“Bam!”

“One down! Once it’s completely scrapped, there’s no need for repairs!”

“Dontaa! Crush that little one!”

“Woof!!! (Got it!! It’s that one!! Ah, it’s running away! Wait!!)”

“Deeeeeei!!!”

“Perseus activated Magic Greatsword Hyper Slash!

Weak!!! Dealt 12,400 damage to Experiment No. 108, Kugaeru (Lv. 85), turning it into scrap metal. Experience points gained: 108,108.”

“Alright, we’re taking them down smoothly. Dontaa, that repair robot is surprisingly nimble… Take it out when you catch up… All that’s left is to finish off the rear guard and then those four arms… Wait, it’s moving! Recovering from freezing!”

“Oniichan, it’s moving!!”

“Eh?! Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), escaped from spatial freeze. Took the stance for Sword Hurricane!”

“Frioniel activated Shield Bash! Weak!!! Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), took 1,100 damage and got stunned. The stance for Sword Hurricane crumbled.”

“Error. Error. X<"

"Oh, that was a good halt! But truly, level 99… Recovering quickly from that special freezing like space freezing. Could it be due to the level difference?"

"There are still some left in the rear."

"Weak!!! 07XB785Y activated Sniping Shot, Critical! Dealt 65,200 damage to Experiment No. 109, Kerin'el (Lv. 85), turning it into scrap metal. Experience gained: 109,109."

"Frioniel leveled up to Level 9."

"Princess Chiyo leveled up to Level 5."

"I'll skewer them all together for you!! Wallachia!!!"

"Perseus activated Magic Greatsword Wallachia!“

“Weak!!! Dealt 11,400 damage to Experiment No. 110, Codielle (Lv. 85), and 11,500 damage to Experiment No. 111, Sashaerel (Lv. 85), turning them both into scrap metal. Total experience gained: 221,221.”

"Oh! That's the first time I've seen that skill from Pers-chan! Does it impale enemies from the ground with a magic sword, skewering them from below? Even if they're guarding with a shield, it's meaningless if they're hit from below! But hey, I was checking the party members' HP and MP bars, and about 90% of the MP disappeared, right?! It seemed like around 45% for the first activation and another 45% for the second? This seems like the type of skill that can't be spammed, Pers-chan…"

"My MP is completely drained?! Does this get consumed each time?!"

"Donta activated [Explosive Two-Stage Palm], and Naorukun, the automatic repair machine (Lv. 55), exploded with its golden right leg! Critical! Dealt a total of 14,800 damage, turning into scrap metal. Experience gained: 55,000."

"Yowww!!! (Finally took it down! It was as agile as a mouse!)"

"Oh, well done, Donta-kun. Since the repair robot was heading to fix the four arms here and there, it wasn't ideal to let it recover from the stun, so it was a nice interference!"

"Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), took the stance for Sword Hurricane!"

"Frioniel activated Shield Bash! Weak!!! Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), took 1,100 damage and got stunned. The stance for Sword Hurricane crumbled."

"(｀・ω・´)"

"Error. Error. X<"

And once again, Oniichan stopped the Sword Hurricane twice. If you're facing opponents where counters and bashes work, aren't you invincible? Isn't this loop combo of stun and fainting too much?

"It's over."

"Weak!!! 07XB785Y activated Sniping Shot, Critical! Dealt 65,200 damage to Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99)."

"Weak!!! 07XB785Y activated Dead End Shot, Critical! Dealt 122,200 damage to Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99). Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99) self-destructs!"

Oh no, it's dangerous, it was a self-destruct type!!!

"( ゜д゜)！"

"Frioniel activated Shield Bash! Weak!!! Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), took 1,100 damage and got stunned. The self-destruct has stopped…"

"(｀・ω・´)"

You did it. You did it, Oniichan… Oh, oh, oh, you're ready for the scrap metal of that self-destructing trash… Are you prepared?

"Sensei, please."

"S-Sensei…?! Leave it to me! Here it goes! Pom-pom-pom, poonnnn!!"

"Himechiyo dealt a total of 44,400 damage to Special Mutant, Mariel (Lv. 99), turning it into scrap metal. Experience gained: 999,999."

"Aurelia leveled up to Level 36."

"Frioniel leveled up to Level 10."

"Princess Chiyo leveled up to Level 6."

"Pom-pom-pom, poonnnn…?" Huh, what's that? Isn't that kind of cute, Sensei…?!

Oh, Lia-chan leveled up too. It's been a while since I've seen the level-up display… Princess Chiyo didn't participate in the battle, so only Donta and I got the experience points.

"We have 10 minutes left!"

"Submerge, Negative Aura!"

"Forward! This might be the final area for the small fry."

"What if six four-armed creatures show up?"

"Then, this time, we'll take them down!"

Oh no, there are only 10 minutes left. We can't let the buffs run out. No one's Bone Shield has been broken, so it's okay! If we reapply it now, it'll go on cooldown and be wasted.

"Let's go!"

"Roger, roger."

"Let's do this! Donta, a bit more!"

"Waauuuu~…"

")ヽ´ω`( "

"Oh, what's this…?!"

"We've taken up our positions between here and Rinnel. Wow?!"

"Happy Space…"

Could you please stop cuddling in this narrow portal? I'm dying seeing this happy space in front of me! Oh, while we're at it, let's pull in Pers-chan too!

"Eh, eh?!"

"Come on, Pers-chan too."

"Sounds good! This tight space is the best!"

"Oh my, I'm surrounded by three big sisters…!"

"So, this is… happiness…"

"Woof woof! (You guys are so close!)"

"Boss floor teleporting. Are you ready?"

Wow, the system message sounds a bit angry, doesn't it? Trying to blend in, are you? No, you can't. Oh, but please proceed with the teleportation. It's your job, after all.

"Looks like the next one is the boss! Let's get pumped up!"

"Oh… I need a little more time…"

"Rena-senpai, pull yourself together! You're looking like your soul is about to leave your body!"

"I'll do my best to grill them…!"

"Grill, slash, shoot them dead!"

"I'll slash them to bits!"

"We'll shoot them dead…"

"Woof woof! (I'll bash them up!!)"

“Σ(´∀｀；)”

Are these people a bit too violent? Could it be that they're all from some warrior tribe or something?

"Teleportation starting… 3… 2… 1… teleporting."
