I'm in the back of the pack, of course. A necromantic monster called Legion will follow.
Occasionally it will spit an acidic liquid that looks like vomit or throw bone spears.
I block them with my shield.
Kakin!
I hear a metallic sound.
I lightly peeked at the surface of the shield, but as expected of a holy shield, there was not a scratch on it.
"hehehe, I'm a holy shield, I'm not afraid of this kind of attack.
That is a blessing.
You got the shield so you could protect your friends.
I'm glad to see you, but should you wait until you've gotten away from this thing before you show your joy?
So I throw the shield at you.
As soon as you loosen your left hand's attachment, you throw the shield at it.
The shield flies through the air with tremendous force and plunges into the center of the Legion, but it doesn't seem to have taken any damage.
The holy shield comes back in a hurry.
"Wow, what are you doing, Will?
I'm sorry, I thought you might be able to take it down.
"Holy shields are not that versatile.
I know. Apparently, you have to beat him with your wits.
It was Leah who slipped in.
"Will, are you crazy? I've been talking to myself for a while now.
A worried look in your face.
This is a good time to talk about the holy shield.
Luna Maria and Leah are enlightened.
"I see, the holy shield can communicate.
I guess. I'd like to get rid of him, but I'm just wondering if there's any way to get rid of him.
It would take a very powerful blow to defeat that monster.
I guess.
Even with the full power of Master Will, it would be difficult to beat him.
I guess. But we have to do something about that. I mean, I just got an idea that there's a big rock on the third level.
"There was . . on the cliff.
I think we can make it work if we use it.
Maybe, but there's just one problem
"I mean?
"I suppose Master Will is thinking of dropping that big rock into the Legion, but I don't think it's going to be that convenient.
That's true. To crush a legion, you have to nail the legion in just the right place.
Yes, it would require someone to take the bait and draw the Legion to it. Of course, they can be crushed together.
That means I can't leave it to the girls.
"...... Dear Will, no way.
No way. I'll pull him at the bottom of the cliff, and Lunamaria and Leah will drop a huge rock on him.
"It's not possible!
You can. Leah is very powerful.
So, in jest, Lunamaria raises her voice even higher.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just concerned for Master Will. Master Will is not a man who deserves to die in a place like this. Legion, guardian of the sacred shield, will pull you out if you drop the shield here. Now drop the shield.
I can't do that.
And I immediately answer, "I'm not interested in shields to begin with.
I'm not interested in the shield to begin with. But I've developed a kind of attachment, albeit a small one, to this shield. So I'm not going to let it go.
"Mr. Will: ......
"Will ......
Lunamaria, and Aegis muttered to it, but it was Leah who pushed them back.
Luna Maria! What are you talking about? The man does it! So, all a woman can do is smile and walk away.
