Chapter 111: Elder Necromancer Demirich Part 4
“Oh ho, for a young lady to declare such a thing.”
“This is my fighter.”
While saying so, Epi pushes me forward. I remain quiet for a moment. I can even utter a word out of my mouth!? I look at Epi in protest. Epi responds with an angelic smile.
“Fight ? Eiji ?”
This person……!
So cute ?
“As she said, it’s not a time to play around. I’m a bit less nervous because Demilich is toying around (with us).”
“Am I playing?”
I turn to Demilich, take a step closer, and I target my opponent like a prey.
“I was just having a little fun with Sexy-chan. If you’re a man, you understand when you’re in front of such a nice woman.
When Demilich glances his eyes on the skeleton beside him, she shyly sway. Stop it. I can’t understand this at all, because I’m a man and not a skeleton.
“That’s certainly a sexy woman.”
“You really think so Epi?! I guess you do know about women.”
“It is common sense that men and women have different skeletons.”
“Well I’m not an expert and I don’t see bones in my daily life.”
However, even an amateur can understand that the size of that skeleton is rather small. Well, even if I don’t understand, I don’t know what’s sexy about it. Bone moe (the love of bone) is too advanced for me. Epi and Risa Haruna are nodding as they are truly undeads.
In admiration, Demilich shakes his golden head.
“If you don’t understand the charm of such a cutie, that’s why humans are stupid. This is why monsters must rule.”
“That’s not a reason to be destroyed. And to someone who’s ridiculously being sexy at times like this.”
“Kuku, there’s a good reason to be ridiculous? Do you understand this?” Demilich shakes his golden head.
Slowly, Demilich raises his staff. With that signal, I put my strength into the hand holding the black silver sword.
“I understand your sentiment, but I’m going to misunderstand that.”
“Kuku, shut your big mouth while being close to a God. Look forward to seeing the power of the great Elder Necromancer Elderlich, who became one – open, the door of death.”
Black magic is released from the tip of Demilich’s staff. Then, a black mist spreads all around, and a group of undeads rises from there.
“Those look like pretty high level undead.”
“That’s the troublesome part of his necromancy. He can summon powerful servants with a tremendous amount of power. But this now is.”
Epi and Risa Haruna sharpen their claws and hit the armed ghoul.
“There are several more powerful ones. Now, Eishi-kun, we take on the small fries. You get the big boss.”
“Alright! Risa Haruna-san! Thank you … It seems like this happened before. I’ll fight the toughest enemies.”
“Hmm… humans should face forward and live the moment. Come on, lively young people!”
It’s a cool line, but I’m not fooled. Although I was originally expected to defeat Demilich, I have no objection to doing it alone!
Ignore the summoned ghouls, skeletons, and liches, and I only target Demilich. The sexy skeleton escapes while screaming. Demilich whispers and swings his staff. Instantaneously, a magic wave develops and an invisible shock wave strikes me.
“Good!”
I am able to avoid from heavily damage because I defend against his blow based on gut instinct, but. Looking at my arm, it turns red. If the damage takes on too many times, my bones will turn crazy because of the magic of bones.
……This is not really a joke.
…… It’s the case when you’re really not joking.
I will regain my magic, set up a long-range battle, and launch attacks that exploit the weaknesses of the undead such as Ray and the Mark of Holy Evil. Despite it being a high-ranking existence, it is still an undead and can be effective. However, the (long range) magic is countered by the opponent’s attack and does not reach. After all, there are only magic-specialized monsters, and when I, an all-type, confront magic, it seems I share similarity with the opponent.
“Can I physically hit him?”
To prepare for that purpose, I get ready.
I use magic barrier skills to increase magic defense, and use curse resistance barriers to increase dark power defense. Furthermore, I increase my evasive power and enhance it with a sense boost, a speed boost, and a dodge stepping. I will gradually strengthen the anti-magic specialization. Of course, in the meantime, Demilich shoots various magics. Not only shock waves, but fireballs, ice pillars, thunder spears, and various magic attacks.
Half-god may not be perfect, but in fact powerful and diverse attacks have done a lot of damage to me. Demilich is proud of it.
“I can do it just by enduring it, but I think you’re getting tired, right?”
“I disagree. I can still recover. I’m not using any healing magic today.”
I stand up while healing the damages I have with my healing hands. But Demilich does not change his smile.
“Kakaka, it’s hard to spend too much time in pain. I know, it’s your healing power, and its effectiveness is many times. You’re just but a little more time to be buried in the grave. Isn’t this just a delay?”
“No, I won’t recover anymore. I’m going to beat you before I need it again.”
At the same time I kick the ground, Demilich shoots his magic. I parry with a magical sword, and at the same time, twist my body quickly to avoid his magic. Demirich casts off another magical surprise. As expected, it is difficult to avoid it completely.
“Ouch… but it’s alright, after all!”
“He just endured !?”
After all, it is not possible to achieve the power of the first shot with continuous fire. It doesn’t matter much if you increase evasion to avoid direct hits and increase on magic defense.
“Eat this! [Holy Punishment]!”
A blow with sacred power, being kneaded into Demirich. Black and white sparks splattered, and Demirich got struck.
“Gagaga-you! This-to me-to the king-!”
“It works! I won’t give you time to recover!”
In addition to holy attacks-which the opponent is also dealing with, even while he’s receiving damage, he fires off magic in a counterattack.
“Ghosts! Burn up the damn fool!”
At Demirich’s feet, I think a black whirlpool has sprung up, and many fiery ghosts appear from there and rush towards me. I pull myself away–but that doesn’t end there…… The ghost of fire twists and turns, heading for me. I see, it’s not just a fireball but it’s a ghost, both are chasing me. This is quite troublesome.
If so, time to cut it — Now!
A ghost explodes when the sword cuts it. Due to the increased magic defense and the location of the explosion at the tip of the sword, the damage to my body is not so great, but the sword is about to be dropped.
At that moment, I felt that Demiric’s skull has empty eye sockets. It has no eyes, but it is true that Demilich grins and mutters about something. In the next moment, the ghosts all fly to the tip of the sword, which is shaken by the explosion.
“I’m sorry– !”
A cascade of explosions. I can’t handle the shock, and I drop my sword. I try to pick it up in a hurry, but the last ghost blows the sword away with a blast, throwing it to the feet of Demilich.
“Lost your weapon, didn’t you?”
