A beautifully carved, dull, shiny, white, silver, full body armor.
It's unclear if it has any contents, but it's impossible to tell what's inside the full-face helmet.
He's huge both horizontally and vertically, but his overall body shape is macho and zone-grimy.
I'll say it again and again, boss-class monsters are huge.
This one was also 4 meters tall.
As you would expect, it's not as big as this one, but it's still huge, perhaps because it's got a heart that says it can't be defeated by a human.
As I recall, when it becomes twice as big, its weight should increase eight times. That means it weighs more than a ton.
It's a car. That kind of guy is going to smash the steel sword with all his might.
And for now, let's carry out a golem stakeout operation with protective wards, just as we did with Rakshasa! And Shamash-san, as soon as you finish summoning, try a sorcery attack as well. Also, Shero-san and Hetty-san, try attacking with a bow and arrow.
At my instruction, Shero-san and Hetty-san immediately released a pair of arrows into the bow.
The arrows hit straight to the guardian knight and scattered a few shards of light.
The guardian knight continues to advance as if nothing had happened.
Shamash-san summoned the golems, and the priestess chanted a spell and set up a defensive ward on the golems that Shamash-san had summoned.
The golems advance to surround the guardian knight with sluggish steps.
However, the blow of the giant sword that the guardian knight wielded lightly blew away two golems at once.
At the same time, with a paring, the defensive wards are destroyed.
As expected, it wasn't a single blow to destroy the wards, but the golem, which should have been f*cking heavy, was lightly blown away by five meters.
Seeing its physical strength, I yell out.
''Oh, that was bad! Deanna! Priestesses should stay as far away from it as possible!
Rakshasa was just strong enough to suppress it.
Baphomet had many disgusting attacks, but his strength was weak.
Cerberus was phenomenal at both rushing and biting attacks, but he was not very smart.
Efreet was mainly a flame attack, and since he didn't have any weapons, he didn't die instantly when he was hit.
But for such a big knight to wield a huge sword, it was a bit quite bad.
Even if it wasn't a sword, you could already die just from a big iron bar.
Anyway, everyone please be careful not to take a direct hit from that sword! Now all we have to do is work hard individually! This is the last monster, so save your life! Let's do our best!
After all, with this number of people, it's nonsense to consult with each other verbally about cooperation before fighting, and the only way to get along is to work well with each other in the flow of the battle with A-Un breathing.
Of course, it's nice that Etowah can see the battle situation from above and give us instructions, but that's just one of the information in the battle, and it's the individual who makes the final decision and acts. Unless there are more people, we are only a small party.
Well, we've been training so much together, assuming all sorts of different ways to fight depending on the situation, that we're able to do it.
The two golems that weren't blown away by the swords stuck to their guardian knights and punched them.
Dullahan, who was holding a raw neck with his blonde hair fluttering under his arm, raised his lance and charged furiously at the guardian knight while screaming.
As expected of a summoned demonic beast, it's amazing because it literally really crashes into you without slowing down or anything. This is a behavior that humans can never do. It's a suicide attack using a horse.
It hits with a thud and shaves off the armor with a thud.
As if Dullahan's assault was a signal, we all surround the monster.
Just like with the bears, Shero-san naturally becomes the shield, and we are the ones who do the prickly attack so that we don't get attacked.
Since the golem is giggling and stalling us, even the guardian knights as expected seem to be inhibited in their movements.
Shamash-san fires a series of his signature ice magic.
In the meantime, the other two golems also come back.
The golem strategy isn't bad, but the fact that the huge golem is in the way and it's hard to attack us too is a drawback.
It would be nice if we could somehow defeat them and hold them back, just like we did with Rakshasa.
But that idea was quickly discarded.
This was because the guardian knight kicked the golem away at a moment's notice, stepped in forcefully, and slammed the swords in succession, one by one, at a slight distance.
With each swing of the sword, the heavyweight golem flies through the air.
One blow, two blows, three blows, four blows.
With a sudden series of swords, the golems instantly turned into pieces of light and disappeared.
The guardian knight finished unleashing his sword technique and zanshin.
''No way. ......''
I can't help but stiffen up in a moment.
The golem is a summoned magical beast whose only advantage is its strength, but it is hard and heavy because it is made of stone.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
''Shamash-san, next time, please summon the golem again!
'Ugh ......, yes. But you might want to call Ai for this one ......?
Do I call Ai or do I call the golem? It's a tough call.
Even if the golem is going to die soon, it's at least a stopgap.
It's also nice to not have to use it too much.
But that's it.
Our goal isn't to slow it down.
We're going to take him down.
"Well, let's call Ai. If the attack works, it's better than a protracted battle.
'Hmm. ...... Well, at any rate, my magic seems to be mostly ineffective. So the name of the guardian knight (guardian) is not a great one.
Almost all of Shamash's ice magic has been resisted.
Even though they're all monsters that are difficult for magic to work on, this guy is the hardest monster of them all.
''Then, please. I'll go with you!
Anyway, I'm a swordsman with a magic sword too. Theoretically, I should be able to beat this thing. If I don't shed my energy little by little.
I ducked the huge sword wielded by cutting the air with a boom and ducked with a paperweight, and slashed my leg into a horizontal cleave. Garin and some light scatter, but I don't feel like I'm being effectively damaged by the armor.
Shero-san, Hetty-san and Rebecca attack each of them, but it feels like they are attacking the giant opponent in a prickly manner.
Even so, the damage should still be getting through. We can only do what we can do.
''Ballista, fire!''
Etowah directs the timing and Rebecca fires the ballista.
A thick, extremely thick arrow, which could be called a stake, pierces the guardian knight and sparks fly.
''Iron ball please!''
He succeeded in guiding the guardian knight and getting him to take the iron ball at a good time.
Doggone it! With a sound of "I'm not going to let you go!", the iron ball dug into the guardian knight and not a few pieces of light flew out.
That's it, that's what I'm counting on! I thought, but the wire was grabbed and pulled as hard as I could, and the pedestal rattled and broke with a thud.
'Oh no!'
Now you can't use the iron ball anymore.
Furthermore, he attacked with a ballista. Even though he can't use the ball, there's no point in being frightened.
When the monster is damaged, light shards are scattered as shards of light, which is easy to understand, but the amount of light scattered by the ballista is small, and it may be blocked by the armor.
''I'm going!''
Marina raises a charged hammer. Lightning Fountain.
I've been saving it for today until this point--
Bash! And the blitz that reached the armor was played off.
''Nope, it's no good! It's not working at all!
It was no good.
It's probably not the type of attack that works against bosses at this level.
It's an all-surrounding attack, so it's more of a move for zakos.
The summoned Evil Eye, Ai-chan, flies a death beam.
The Ai-chan beam seems to be bursting with damage as expected, or rather, it seems to be bursting with damage there. The guardian knights do not have any means of attacking the flying monsters, or they do not pay attention to Ai-chan.
They can beam-eat all they want.
It may just be that they are resistant to the beam and the amount of damage is low.
''What do you think, Shamash-san?''
'Honestly ...... that's pretty bad. That thing seems to be the type of monster that blocks almost all kinds of magic. Even Ai's attacks are blocked by that armor 70% of the time.
''Seriously? Even just normal attacks are blocked by armor. ......
''My attack will be ...... frustrating but almost useless. The rest of the time, it would be better to have the summoned demonic beasts do their best. Ai has a short amount of time to be able to manifest ....... Next would still be ...... golems. I thought they weren't very useful in combat, but I've changed my perception.
Because power is power: ......
The guardian knight is not that fast-moving type.
It's not surprising, though, since he's a big armored knight with a big figure.
The most effective card of the summoned monsters is still the Golem.
Moreover, you can call up to four golems. Even if they're killed in a single hit, it's quite different if they're summoned as long as their magic crystals last.
Incidentally, Dullahan-san is also doing his best, but when he saw that the curse-grudge magic was ineffective, he turned into a charging machine that mostly just charges at them.
The attacks are coming through in their own way, but I'm not worried that they'll disappear every time they get puffed up by the guardian knight's cleave. I'm not a human, so it's good that I won't be cut in half just because of the shards of light flying around.
Even though it's a waste to keep them evacuated like cavalry dragon sorghum because they're a fighting force, it's indeed a pain in the conscience to dispose of a summoned demonic beast with a human feeling to that extent.
It seems that the summoned demonic beasts summoned by the oversized demonic crystals can be brought back to life even if they die, but even so.
Anyway, in this situation, I have no choice but to grind it out, even if it's a war of attrition.
I ran out to the battlefield.
............ ...
.................. ...
........................
◇◆◆◆◇
............ ha!
Your consciousness becomes clearer and clearer.
Like the moment you wake up in a daze and see an alarm clock that has gone completely around your waking time, the blood in your body boils all at once.
'How long has it been? No - how many times have you done this? Deanna!
Deanna, who was peering at us anxiously at the side, replied.
'This is the second time, Master. The time has passed forty-five minutes.'
'Shit! Nobody's dead yet, right?
'Somehow ....... But Dullahan is dead.
That assault girl is ....... Oh no, well, I hear she can come back.
The situation was immediately understandable.
I guess I was badly beaten by that guardian knight and had just recovered from receiving Diana's time-reversal recovery magic.
And it's the second time.
If I hadn't known it was this kind of magic, I might have panicked.
In the meantime, the sound of sword fights is increasing in intensity.
Around the guardian knight, a magic circle from Priestess-chan's magic is floating around the guardian knight.
A defensive ward using spirit stones is constantly being put up on Shero-san as a shield, while Hetty-san continues to slash at the guardian knight with her inhuman movements.
Compared to those two's monstrous movements, me, Rebecca-san and Marina are still in the human category.
''Deanna, you still have the spirit stone, right?''
'Yes, sir. There's also the amount that came out of Efreet. But if we keep up this pace, we'll run out in another half hour or so.
That's the time limit: ......!
There's no time to lose.
We would have been wiped out long ago if it wasn't for the spirit stone, so it was really lucky that Efreet had given us the stone.
If it wasn't for that, we would have been in trouble long ago.
The guardian knight's magic guard is almost perfect. His speed is there, but his attack power is high and his reach is long. It's truly the strongest level monster. Compared to this, yesterday's Ugaruru, for example, was really an easy monster to deal with.
If this is the case, we'll be impoverished.
There is something ...... that we can do to help.
"Ah!
Master!
Deanna opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind and I remembered something important at about the same time.
'What? What is it, master?
''Oh, I forgot that I learned powerful magic from Dreamscape. You must have been getting hot.
Witchcraft? But the magic in that one is ......
'No, it's the one that was considered the most powerful in the spirit civilization era. I don't know if I can do it, but I'll try.
Magic is activated by understanding reason.
So, in short, Mr. Mugen and I have been studying.
The study itself ended halfway through, but I still have a supplementary skill called The Principle, so I will probably be able to activate it.
In fact, I was able to activate it after sneaking in some practice.
I thought I was going to surprise everyone, so I kept quiet and forgot about it.
Once the fight started, my mind was occupied with fighting with the sword.
'Etowah, I'm going to use a big magic now. It's harmless to my companions, but for the moment, you'll have to use the microphone to tell them.''
"Hi!
I close my eyes and begin to build a magic formula in my brain.
The magic formula ...... No, it's a chemical formula.
If the logic doesn't go through in your head to some extent perfectly, you won't be able to activate the magic formula.
There's no way to check, but there's also the concept of internal magic power, the so-called magic (М) point (P).
I shouldn't have a high MP, so it's a one-time magic.
I've already confirmed that I can't use it once and then again.
I create a formula in my head, imagine its effects, and generate the ingredients from the magic element.
It's all a matter of imagery. If the image is weak, the magic won't work.
In truth, I've heard that the magic won't activate unless I'm more properly convinced, but I have an assisting skill, so I should be able to manage something like this.
2C7H5N3O6 → 3N2 + 5H2O + 7CO + 7C.
A formula I've drilled into my head over and over.
It's been years since I've done science. I was so stupid that even Yumegen was laughing at me.
Let's go!
The magic element is concocted and the magic is exercised.
A simple, ridiculous, and powerful technique of converting one's own magic power into TNT gunpowder and exploding it.
Commonly known as...
"TNT bursting ministry.
I felt the magic power drain from my body, and at the same time, a shining fireball was born in front of the guardian knight's eyes.
With a dazzling light, the golden fireball swelled up and exploded with a flash of light within a moment. A shockwave to the sound of the explosion echoed in his chest more than the roar of Cerberus.
A little later, the earth-shaking sound of Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun reaches us.
In the era of spirit civilization, this was considered an essential magic technique for veteran players, an attack magic technique.
