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 75

Chapter 75: Emergency Quest 4: Bad Kids Get Punished

◆ Lorelei’s Beach – Battlefield Area ◆”

“Geug Naudas!! Lyela Prineera Revennga!!!”

“Sauriena! Geg Naudas, Anehra!! Neelil Begillrinfe!!!”

“Gaaa!!!!!!”

…Hey, Lia-chan, I didn’t understand the meaning, but? Even I can tell what that was. You definitely just insulted them… They’re totally furious…

“Anehra!!!!!! Kaaaaaa…!! Gaaaa!!!!!!”

“07XB785Y has broken BP! Awakening skill [Shooting Requiem] is now standing by for activation!!!”

“Princess Chiyo has entered [Scarlet Shadow Lady] mode. HP has been reduced by 50%. Took 1 damage from the self-inflicted effect and is now ready for sheathing.”

“Rise, Stone Wall!!!”

“Aurelia has activated [Stone Wall]. Multiple stone walls have been generated around the area.”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv. 100) has unleashed [Annihilation Napalm Breath]!!”

“Stone Wall has blocked several attacks. Stone Wall is now in a high-heat state. (Durability: 77%/100%)”

“I was able to communicate properly! Yay, yay…!”

Communicated properly? No, you didn’t. They’re definitely angry. But Lia-chan is so cute being all excited, so I guess it’s fine… Still, the Stone Wall gives a huge sense of security against that breath attack. Though I can already see it getting destroyed by a tail smash next, so I better stack up buffs and get ready to retreat.

“Impede, Bone Shield!”

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

“Aegis!”

“Perseus has entered the [Penetrate-10] state.”

“Frioniel has activated [Dark Aspiration], fully restoring the HP of all party members. Status abnormalities will be completely negated for 5 seconds.”

“|д゜) Sneak peek”

“Pulse of the Abyss, Negative Burst!”

“For 3 minutes, all party members’ stats have increased by 43.”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) is now in a cursed state.”

“m9(^Д^)9m”

“Frioniel has activated [Provoke], taunting the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100)!”

“Kira Aul!!! Gaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!”

So far, the flow is just like with the Great one, but now, will we be able to block the next attack? Or maybe not? Let’s see how well our beloved Stone Wall-sensei performs!!

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has activated [Full Power] and unleashed [Super Annihilation Napalm Breath]!”

“Ah!”

“Aurelia activated [Splattershot] in succession, cooling down the Stone Wall.”

“Stone Wall has blocked multiple attacks. Warning! Stone Wall is now in a high-heat state (Durability: 48%/100%).”

“The curse on Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has been lifted.”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) is now out of breath.”

“Gah…!! Guaaah…!! Gweaaaaaah…!!”

Oh, Lia-chan frantically splashed water, and the wall held up… it held, but if another breath attack comes, this wall’s definitely going to melt and get blown away, right? Yeah, that would be terrifying. If that happens, the breath attack will reach us!! But judging by its current state, it seems like it’s literally out of breath?

“Umm… Kira Aul!!! Whoa…!!”

“Aurelia has entered the [Concentration] state. The power of the next magic cast will increase.”

Aaaaaahhh!!! Lia-chan stole the [Full Power] ability that the Super Red Lizard was using!!! What a bad kid, such a bad kid…! Lia-chan? After being surprised, you gave such an evil grin. You’re feeling it, aren’t you? You’re totally ready to go. Looks like the stalling phase is over now!

“Gua…! Gaaaaah…!!!”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has activated [Tail Smash], and Stone Wall blocked the attack. (Durability: 9%/100%)”

Oh, a last-ditch effort. But it looks like the power of that Tail Smash is weaker when you’re out of breath. If it had been a [Full Power] Tail Smash, Stone Wall would’ve been destroyed, but no… You used two breath attacks in a row, and that’s why. Too bad, but you lacked composure.

“Pers-chan!”

“Yes!! All who defy me shall be annihilated!!”

“Perseus has activated [Execution Command], increasing the attack power of all party members by 1.5 times for 1 minute.”

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

“Aurelia activated [White Silent Mute Blizzard]. Weak!!! Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has taken 382,591 damage and is trapped in spatial freeze.”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has become unable to act due to hypothermia.”

Thanks to the stolen Concentration and Execution Command, we just dealt nearly 383k damage!! And it’s not just the power that’s high—the timing for the hypothermia incapacitation has sped up a lot! Before, it only happened after escaping from the spatial freeze, but this time, it was immobilized just seconds after being hit! Well, from here on, it’s our turn. We’ll literally stop your breath for good.

“They’re immobilized, everyone!!!”

“07XB785Y has activated the awakening skill [Shooting Requiem]!”

“Princess Chiyo has activated [Astonishing World] and [Destroying Demon Slash], dealing a total of 361,229 damage to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Super Red Dragon (Lv.100) has escaped from the spatial freeze.”

“07XB785Y has activated [Magic Bullet Attribute Change: Water].”

“07XB785Y has activated [Quick Draw Shot] in succession, Weak!!! Critical hit! A total of 2,939,334 damage has been dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

No matter how many times I see it, Rena-chan’s “super rapid-fire attack with a musket that shouldn’t even come close to that speed” is just too exhilarating to watch. An impossible scene with impossible power, and the MP draining at an impossible rate! If my MP were draining at that pace, how many times would I be teetering on the edge of life and death…? I’d be doing a back-and-forth sprint between near-death and full recovery…

“Princess Chiyo has activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 691,668 damage has been dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Perseus used [Highest Grade Mana Potion] on 07XB785Y, restoring MP to 100%.”

“07XB785Y has activated [Quick Draw Shot] in succession, Weak!!! Critical hit! A total of 3,021,382 damage has been dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo has activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 671,326 damage has been dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo has activated [Clear Mind], restoring 50% of her MP.”

Chiyo-chan consistently dishing out around 680k damage at that pace is terrifying. Sure, when the enemy is immobilized and can’t fight back, you can go all out, but this pace of continuous attacks is insane… And she has her own MP recovery methods prepared too. No wonder Meltis tried to stop her resurrection back then—she’s insanely strong. I mean, she’s doing almost half of Rena-chan’s damage output, and that’s without even transforming into a yokai fox. If she were to transform and stack death’s corruption on top of that… Uh… Yeah, I’d rather not think about it…

“Princess Chiyo has activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 699,512 damage has been dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo has activated [Clear Mind], restoring 50% of her MP.”

“Used [Highest Grade Mana Potion] on 07XB785Y, restoring MP to 100%.”

“07XB785Y activated [Quick Draw Shot] in succession, Weak!!! Critical hit! A total of 3,322,558 damage was dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 684,333 damage was dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo activated [Clear Mind], restoring 50% of her MP.”

“Princess Chiyo activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 683,555 damage was dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“07XB785Y used [Highest Grade Mana Potion], restoring MP to 100%.”

“Princess Chiyo activated [One Sword Severing Iron], Critical hit! 691,511 damage was dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100).”

“Princess Chiyo sheathed her crimson blade, deactivating [Scarlet Shadow Lady].”

“07XB785Y activated [Quick Draw Shot] in succession, Weak!!! Critical hit! A total of 3,222,558 damage was dealt to the Super Red Dragon (Lv.100), defeating it. Gained 97,500,000 experience points.”

“Congratulations! Clear time was 1 minute and 3 seconds!”

Damage log display! Total damage… just over 16 million! So this guy had around 16 million HP? Wait, does that mean they wiped out 16 million HP in about 30 seconds? Just the two of them?! Once again, Donta and my brother barely had anything to do… Well, unless the Stone Wall collapses, they really don’t have much of a role. Their job is to protect Lia-chan and Rena-chan, who are the core of our strategy.

“You have reached level 87.”

“Perseus has reached level 87. Let’s celebrate!”

“Donta has reached level 9.”

“Aurelia has reached level 69.”

“Princess Chiyo has reached level 33.”

“Frioniel has reached level 33.”

“MVP was 07XB785Y.”

“[Super Red Dragon (Lv.100)] has been placed in [Corpse Storage-10].”

“07XB785Y’s [Shooting Requiem] has been deactivated.”

Huh…? Lia-chan’s level is suddenly going up faster? Huh? Her next level only requires 10 million experience points… Could it be that Lia-chan’s experience table isn’t like the others, where they are late bloomers, but instead she has a tough middle game? One of those types where, once you get past the hardest part, leveling up becomes super easy. It’s like she hit that singularity, where after the slow early and mid-game, progress starts skyrocketing. I mean, she even copied the [Full Power] move on the spot that the enemy used.

“MVP! And look, rainbow tier loot~!”

“Oh my! I hope it’s something good!”

“The dragon could actually talk! Maybe we can have a conversation with the main boss too!”

“Yes, that would be nice…”

“Wawawa? (Can I go wild next?)”

“Hmmm, depends on the opponent, I think.”

“(´∀｀)”

“If you think about it rationally, with that enormous body, it should have just swept us away with its tail or charged at us. But instead, it got angry and chose ineffective attacks—nothing more than a big lizard after all. It should have accepted its fate and settled in our bellies quietly.”

Chiyo-chan’s comment is pretty harsh… But yeah, she’s right. Even though the dragon got provoked and was furious, it should have switched to physical attacks after realizing that its first breath attack didn’t work. The dragon’s defeat was totally its own fault, no doubt about it.

“By the way! It seems the small dragon that died here earlier was actually the princess of these dragons! They were saying it was revenge for killing their little princess!”

“Oh, really… And? What did you say back?”

“Hmmm… I told them… let’s be friends!”

Lia-chan, you’re totally lying… There’s no way you said that… No one would get that mad over such a phrase…

“Please choose 3 treasure chests to open.”

“Oh my! It looks like we get to choose 3 out of 6 this time! And look, over here!”

“Gems, gems, gems, gems, gold, red… I want to open the gem ones!”

“Woof—”

“Donta, we have plenty of food, so no opening the red one.”

“Whiiiine…”

“Nope. We have enough already!”

“Sir Donta, too much of anything is just as bad as too little. Moderation in all things, you know.”

“Chiyo-chan, are you really the one to say that?”

“…Hmph, hmph, hmph~♪”

“You’re terrible at covering it up, aren’t you!?”

Alright, after defeating the boss, it’s time for treasure! This time we get 3… and 4 of them are gems! Please don’t be food this time…! Donta’s really eager to open the red one, but we don’t need any more food! We already got [Premium Dragon Marbled Meat] this time, so hold off for now!

“…Oniichan, you pick one.”

“(´゜д゜｀)”

“Oh, right! We do have a lucky person here!”

“Is that so? Then, you pick! Feel free to choose the others too.”

“I’m also eagerly awaiting to see what kind of items will come out!”

“Alright!! Got it~~!!”

And of course, when it comes to choosing treasure chests, Oniichan is the one to ask! With Oniichan’s incredible luck, I’m sure he’ll pull an unbelievable amount of rainbow-tier loot again this time!

“m9(^Д^)”

“This one? And these are good too, right? Lia-chan, it’s down to two choices. Which one should I pick!?”

“(´∀｀)”

“Umm, well then~~… I think this one is better!”

Alright, everything except the one closest to us. Let’s start by opening the one at the far right, and work our way down!

“(∩´∀｀)∩”

“You have obtained [Shield (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Blunt Weapon (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Hat (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Clothing (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Proof of Conqueror]”

“Oh wow, consistently high-quality stuff…! Here’s the loot log!”

“As expected of you, truly wonderful!”

“Ooooooh~~. Impressive~!”

“(｀・ω・´)”

Already pulling 4 mystic-grade items on the first chest, Oniichan, you’re amazing…! It wasn’t seven rainbows like last time, but still, all four pieces of equipment being mystic-grade is incredible! Now, what’s in the next treasure chest~?

“You have obtained [Material]”

“You have obtained [Material]”

“You have obtained [Book (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Book (Rainbow)]”

“You have obtained [Book (Rainbow)]”

“Here’s the loot log! Speaking of rainbow books, it feels like we might get a special card binder…”

“That would be wonderful! Let’s hope all of them are like that!”

“Is it better than the boss card binder?”

“It can include ultimate and mystic cards too!”

“Wow… I want it~~”

“(｀・ω・´)”

Hmm, Oniichan, even this smug face is forgivable! You consistently pull out at least three items. Now, for the final one… it’s the one Lia-chan picked, the one furthest away!

“Lia-chan, open it, open it!”

“Uhh…! Y-yes!”

“Pampakapaan!”

“Pa… pampaka, paaan!!”

Lia-chan’s pampakapaan is so cute with her shyness… I understand why Eris-san says Lia-chan has unique nutrients… truly nutritious. Now, let’s see what’s inside!! Hmm? Lia-chan…? Eeehhhhh…?

“You have obtained [Shoes (Rainbow)]”

…One. Just one!? Wait, um… huh!?

“W-whoa…”

“It’s alright. Sometimes this happens. So as a punishment, let me absorb some of it.”

“Ah, wait, Rena-san!! N-no— hyaaahhhhh……!!?”

“Good. It smells like sunshine.”

No, Lia-chan, it’s not your fault. It’s the fact that only one item came out of the treasure chest that’s the problem. Besides, you did say something bad at first, so it’s Lia-chan’s fault. Yes, Lia-chan’s fault. This time, Rena-chan will be the one to take it. I won’t stop her either.

“For now, the meat and food items are too heavy… I’ll go back to handle the appraisal and also take care of the corpses. Huh, I thought quite a bit of time had passed, but it’s still before 11 am. In the afternoon, we’re heading to Stellavelce to confront the Violent Dragon Emperor, so I’d like to quickly defeat it. Let’s handle the appraisal and corpse processing concurrently!”

“H-help—”

“It’s Lia-chan’s fault.”

“Huh…!?”

“Yep. Just give up.”
