Chapter 162 - Luring The Monsters Away

Most of the monsters that caused problem to the hunters has been shot by my shoots. And Kayla no longer pointed at a monster just to show others my strength. I think I saw that guy who tried to flirt with her keep looking around in fear. Is he looking for me?

Doesn't matter. I just hope that he won't have any intention in making me his enemy ever again. And I hope he will not try to flirt with my girlfriends.

Now the hunters are joining parties with each other. Since they thought that a party won't be enough, they made a joint party with two or three parties to fight the monsters.

I can see that Sophie and Angela also joined with a party. I think they are from that time during the Orc settlement's raid. But I forgot who they are.

Then behind the party who fought the monsters, most healers are o standby to heal injured people. Like Kayla and that girl from before. Although I know Kayla can fight if she want to, during war like this, her healing magic is needed. That's why she stay behind to heal. She hadn't attacked at all.

Well, she is smart so I can trust her decisions. If she want to heal people, that's fine. If she want to be the vanguard, that's fine as well. Of course I will protect her no matter what.

Well, since the monsters that caused the most trouble had been done in, I guess I should go behind the monsters and kill them in close combat. I will lure most of the monsters toward me and I'll kill them when I find the chance to do it. With this, the number of monsters that being handled by the hunters should be decreasing.

I was about to jump down from the tree I hid myself on, and A ghost suddenly appear in front of me. So I stopped my descend by hugging the tree. I forgot to be cool and just let my feet stuck on the tree.

"What is it, Sonia?" I asked the ghost that suddenly appear. Is there some important news I have to hear?

"…You look ridiculous hugging a tree like that. Are you a monkey?"

"A handsome one. Why are you here?"

Seeing how she managed to let out a joke, I don't think it's a really important news. Maybe just someone relaying a message that doesn't necessarily need me to answer right away.

Of course thanks to Sonia's joke, I remember to cover my feet with Aura and stuck them on the trunk of the tree.

"Just Victoria telling me to inform you that the East gate is fine. You can summon her since she's going to the north gate."

"Nice."

Without any hesitation, I summoned Victoria directly on top of my palm.

Well, I thought she would be in her slime form, but who would have thought that she's in her armored form.

Unprepared by the sudden weight, I pulled back my arm and Victoria falls down to the ground.

"What was that for?!" Victoria shouted angrily.

"Sorry. I thought you would be in your slime form."

"Even if I was, what sort of person summoned their monster while on top of a tree?"

"I'm on the middle of a tree actually."

"Shut up!"

I guess she's angry because I let her fall down.

I already said sorry to her. I think that's enough. More than that, and she might ask for something unreasonable of me. And I don't want that.

"Victoria. Did you kill a lot of monsters?"

"You just changed the topic abruptly without thinking of apologizing?!"

"I did say sorry, didn't I? More than that and you would have asked something weird from me. I think that's enough." I replied.

"Tsk! Well, the monsters are not that strong. If I have to guess, I think I need to fight several strong monsters to finally have my long awaited 24 hour/day of freedom." Victoria answered my question.

"Well, if you defeat all these monsters, do you think that will be enough?"

I let Victoria see the surroundings. There are Ogres, Cyclopes, and more powerful monsters.

"Yeah… I think these should be enough. But I don't have enough power to defeat them all. So…"

"So I'll use you as weapon. Let's go."

Before I go, I turned my head to Sonia who is watching the situation.

"Sonia. Go see how Kron is doing. He's inside the city. Support him in any way you can."

"Okay." Then she disappears.

Victoria already transformed into her default form when I armed her as a weapon. A grappling hook.

"Roy, how's the other?"

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

"They're doing fine. Though I don't know about Candy."

I look around to see more and more monsters are coming. I truly feel like running away, but for now, let's try to decrease the numbers of monster first. Only when I thought it will be useless to continue fighting, I will run away with the others.

In my past life, I don't know the exact numbers of monsters that appeared. I went into hiding as fast as I could. But I don't think it was this much. Or is it because we are prepared, the monsters that appear seems more? Maybe that's the case.

For example, in the past, monsters already entered the city. Seeing the monsters inside the city already causing ruckus, the other monsters who doesn't dare to fight over their preys choose to retreat back into the forest.

But now since the hunters and the guards are protecting the city, the monsters might think that we are a good target and they did not choose to retreat.

And I also didn't see if anyone is controlling the monsters. Maybe they are too far away and already leave their location once they thought the numbers of monsters is enough to level the city. When I asked Veronica about it a few days ago, she also think so.

Yeah, I think this many monsters are more than enough to destroy the city. That only would happen if we are not prepared. Good thing that we have a lot of king's agents here. The guards and the hunters in this city are also surprisingly strong. That's why we managed to hold this long.

As long as we decrease the numbers of monsters, the rest of them should be retreating soon after. Our main goal is to capture the governor, but it would be useless if the city is destroyed. So we need to kill the monsters and protect the civilians as well.

I run to a Cyclops nearby and with Victoria as a sword, I cleaved its head while shouting loud so other monsters would notice me.

Then some beast like monsters noticed me, and as usual, I said the same thing to a monsters I find like I did back then.

"Hello, I come in peace."

"GRAAAWR!!" The beast growled at me.

"Roy, are you stupid? It can't be called peace if you just decapitate a monster."

"Right! By the way, that Cyclops seem to be weaker than the one back then."

"That's because each monsters live differently. That Cyclops we encounter in the past live in a dungeon and this one lives in the wild. Usually, monsters in the dungeon are stronger than outside because they absorbed the magic from dungeon. That's why you can easily cut its neck. The other reason is you became stronger after your training." Victoria explained.

Yeah… I never actually testing my strength after training. I just thought I have gotten stronger, but I don't know how strong I have become. I should have had Ms. Wendy to lend me that target practice that was used for the exam and try to attack it in full force. But I don't think that pillar can endure my attack seeing just a button shot with compressed air already hit nine thousand. The max should be ten thousand so I almost got it destroyed.

Anyway, saying I come in peace doesn't work and I started being chased by the beast. I let it chase after me while also luring more monsters to follow me. The more monsters chasing after me, the easier it would be for the hunters.

I choose this plan after seeing that I can outrun most of the monsters here. The fastest monsters in this stampede are wyverns. But they flew over the sky and enter the city directly so I don't need to care about them. I don't think they will care about just one person.

I lured the monsters, but when I found a chance, I slipped in between a narrow gap between two trees making huge monsters unable to pass it and have to walk around. I used that chance to kill some monsters and then I run away again.

I see Sophie and Angela looking over my way. They should have realized that it was me luring all the monsters and they smiled. Then they shouted something to other parties. I think it's about me luring the monsters and delaying their attacks. Making the others have enough time to rest and have easier time against the monsters.

If possible, I'd like to lure those monsters away from the city. But when they see I'm moving too far from the city, the monsters stopped chasing after me and returned advancing toward the city. Though there are some persistent monsters still chasing after me.

I killed those who are still chasing after me and return to the battlefield to do the same tactic again. Just lure them away from the city and when they are far enough, I'll kill them.

I repeated this several times and the numbers of monsters in this area decreasing considerably.

Chapter 163 - Candy Is In Trouble

Same type of monster, different strength. That's what I learned today as I killed more and more monster.

The first Cyclops I killed today was easy. But I think that must be the weakest Cyclops among all the Cyclopes during this stampede. After all, other than that first one, the other Cyclopes I attacked, still alive after one hit. Their necks are harder than the first Cyclops's.

I still managed to scratch them, and it seems to be a fatal hit to those Cyclopes. But they still able to live and chasing after me. It means that those cut doesn't mean much for them even though they are bleeding from the neck.

I thought I could fight the monsters easily here, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So most of the time, I just running around the area and making sure that all the monsters are chasing after me. Then after there are a lot of them following me, I made them follow me away from the city. Then once they stopped chasing after me after a bit away, I killed some monsters that still chasing me.

As for the rest of the monsters who returned back to the city, I left some of them to other hunters as I took a rest. Then I do that again.

Repeating the same thing over and over again seems ridiculous, but as long as it works, I'm fine with it. Everyone also get used to my tactics. They know when to rest and when to attack. They don't know about my identity, but they seem to think that I'm a reliable ally.

And that's all I need for them to know.

"Roy. Aren't you bored doing the same thing over and over again?" Victoria asked.

"Not at all. The tactic is working and that's the most important thing." I replied.

"Can't you just fight them all without running away? You should be able to do it."

"I can't."

"Of course you can! Don't make an excuse like you are too weak! With your vision, you should be able to see the slightest movement of a muscle and predict your opponent's attack! If there are enemies you can't kill in one hit, then do it with two! If not two, then three! Just keep attacking!"

Victoria seems to be angry about the way I fight. She is right that I can slightly predict my opponent's move by reading their muscles, but fighting this way is the safest option.

"Don't think some things like this is the safest option! You should think of something like the fastest option! If you know the fastest way to defeat these monsters, then do it! After that, you can go anywhere and safe the others. Kayla and the girls are fine thanks to you, but we don't know about Kron, Hill, Candy, and Wendy's situation. Just because Sonia isn't here, mean we can conclude that they are fine. You should help the others before something happened."

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

…yeah. I'm just thinking about myself aren't I? There are other place that I need to help. Although Candy said that she will be fine against the governor, doesn't mean she is indeed fine. There's also another expert level mage that I encounter today. What if they found someone of that level near the governor? I need to finish things here quickly.

While I was thinking of a way to defeat the monsters in the quickest way, Sonia appears.

"Roy. Kayla said that you've done well. You can regroup for now and take a rest for a while. You might not have taken any damage, but some healing magic should be useful for your body. The numbers of injured people also decreased so you can go to her for some rest."

…yeah. I should do that. Resting my body should make my mind clearer. Then after some rest, I can fight however I want later.

"Alright. I'll return soon. Also please check on the other as well. Candy should be fighting the governor soon, right?"

"Last time I checked, they are doing fine against his guards. But I will check again."

"Then what about the other cities? Are they doing fine?" I asked about the condition of other cities.

Because of the delay caused by me, the stampede that should have happened to Melk city first and another cities later, should make it happened at the same time with another city in this time. Are they doing okay?

"Well… not as efficient as Melk, but they are doing fine. The other cities don't seem to have any expert level mage. That's what I heard from the one in charge. But because unlike here, where you can notice the cult members hiding among the people and killed them, the other cities don't have you. Casualties are unavoidable, but they seem to be able to minimize it."

I guess they are doing better than I expected then. But does it mean their real target is Melk? They have two expert level mages sent here. Or maybe that's just coincidence?

I don't see any reason why they would target Melk other than showing their strength. There's no secret treasures here. At least from what I can see. Maybe the governor and the other expert level mage that I killed were here by chance. Well, the governor is here because he's the governor.

As for the other guy… maybe it wasn't long since he broke through to expert level. That's why the cult doesn't notice him yet. And he wanted to gain some credit here and prove his strength to the cult. But he failed since he was killed by me.

That's just a guess. For now, let's regroup back and get some rest.

Sonia disappear to check on the others, while I returned to where Kayla is after checking that no more monsters chasing after me.

"Roy, you can lay over there. I'll heal you soon."

As soon as I arrived, Kayla has just finished healing someone. I lay on my back and rest my eyes as Kayla soon approaches me and casted a healing magic on me while holding a wand.

"Hmm? That wand is cracked. I guess it will reach its limit soon." I said to Kayla.

"Really? I didn't see any crack here."

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

"The crack started from the inside. My guess is that wand should reach its limit after two or three more times."

"I see. Thanks for telling. I won't use it again unless it's necessary."

Kayla pocketed her wand and casted another healing magic on me without using the wand. I should look for more wands when I'm diving next time. Or maybe just buy them in bulk.

While thinking so, Sonia appears again in front of me. She has a panicked expression on her face. I raised my upper body from the ground and listened to what's happening.

"Roy. Candy is in big trouble. Most of the agents trying to capture the governor died. Only Candy, Wendy, and few others survive. All the other guards had been killed and the governor is the only one left. He's too strong for everyone over there. The ones who still alive are thanks to Candy protecting them. The stocking she wears can affect those near her. Soon she will be exhausted of her magic and…"

"That's enough. I'm going there. Let's go, Victoria. Kayla too. Candy might need some healing."

I stopped Sonia from telling me any further. Candy is in danger. That's the only thing that matter to me.

I only had a few minutes of rest, but that's enough. Candy's life is in danger. I have to safe her. And for the governor to be so difficult to handle despite our preparation… don't tell me that he has two elements that have reached expert level! Why is he a governor?

I stand up on the spot, and piggybacking Kayla on my back. Then I told Sonia to inform Angela, Sophie, and Shirley who are still fighting that we are entering the city to help Candy.

"Kayla, you might need to use that wand again after all. And use your other wand and grab as many sand as you can! Sonia, tell me what other element the governor has!"

I gave the order and as soon as Kayla grabbed a lot of sand with her earth wand, I left and entered the city again. I quickly jumped from building to building to reach the location where Candy is.

"Roy. The governor has fire element, ice element, and lightning element! All of them has reached expert level!" Sonia told me the elements the governor has.

"Damn! No wonder Candy and the others are having trouble! What about his guards?"

"All of them have died. He's the only one left!"

"Does he have a family we can use as hostage?"

The one who answered my question this time was Kayla.

"No. His family has left the city with that migrating mission. There shouldn't be any more of his family in this city. And even if they are here, I don't think that we can use them as hostages."

She's right. They are from a cult that doesn't mind killing themselves. Being taken as hostages won't change anything.

In any case, we need to hurry to where Candy is.

I had Victoria transformed as a rifle so I can shoot him as soon as he's in sight. I don't think that it is enough to him, but it should be enough to distract him from Candy.

Chapter 164 - Another Element?

I can finally see Candy after running for a while. But even with my speed, it will take a while until I reached her.

Candy is only playing defense here. Thanks to the fishnet stocking underneath her pants, she can defend herself and people near her from the governor's fire magic and ice magic. That equipment is too awesome. If only it was not in the form of a fishnet stocking, I would take it for myself.

With the special effect of that stocking, Candy can change the temperature of anything near her in an instant. Making fire disappear, and ice melt instantly when they get close to her. As far as I know, it's the greatest magic equipment ever to be found from a dungeon. Making one invulnerable toward fire and ice is too overpowered.

But the biggest flaw of that stocking, other than its form which makes most men don't want to wear them, is that the wearer won't be able to cast any magic of fire and ice element. Which makes Candy unable to fight the governor with her fire element.

She can only fight by using her lightning element, but the governor also has the same element. But his lightning element is stronger than Candy's. Which makes Candy's magic doesn't make any real damage to him.

As for the Ms. Wendy and the other agents, they can't do anything against him. But to think that he won't come out at all until all of his guards died, making it at least a bit easier for us. Had he come out sooner before all of his guards died, Candy and the others would have been dead already.

So now my mission is to save Candy, then put the Magic Restriction Collar on the governor's neck, and pluck out the HGB from his mouth. But can I put the collar before he explode his head?

I can do it if I knock him out first.

But seeing how he is on high alert, it would be impossible to approach him. And he's too strong as well.

This will be my biggest challenge so far.

Soon I saw the governor in sight without any obstruction. There's no wall, no trees, and no people blocking me from him. And I prepared several sharp rocks and put them inside Victorifle. I have 33 chances with all the sharp rocks I put in Victorifle. Those sharp rocks are the ones Kayla made for me on the way here thanks to her wand.

I still have a lot of smaller unsharpened pebbles, but that's for later.

When my view is unobstructed, I shot one bullet at the governor right away. Once it got close to him, he noticed something is coming and prepared an Ice wall to protect himself. The bullet got stopped by the ice wall, but that's fine. That shot was meant to distract him from Candy and the others.

The governor then looked at my direction. Although we're far apart, he noticed where I am. There's no point in hiding so I prepared my second shot. I used my Divine Vision to see his muscles to predict what kind of movement he will do. Any suspicious move meant another shot at him.

I also didn't just run straight toward him. I am making sure that the first Ice Wall that he made won't obstruct my shot. But his eyes are following my move.

気をつけて! このゲームは長い間あなたを魅了するだろうRAID - 2024 年で最も美しくリアルなゲームが完全無!Plarium's

"Kayla! Contact Sonia! Tell her to relay a message to Candy and the others to hide inside that clothing store!" Since it will be difficult for me to focus on the governor while talking, I made Kayla do the talking.

When I spoke to Kayla, he seems to have noticed that I was slightly distracted and preparing a Fireball at me. But I shot my second bullet already. He then cancelled the Fireball and made another Ice Wall.

I keep moving after that and soon, Sonia appear next to me. And the governor had a shocked expression when he saw a ghost suddenly appear. I took that chance to shoot my third bullet.

His reaction was delayed a bit and the Ice Wall he built the third time wasn't fast enough to protect him. But he's still an experienced mage. He dodged the bullet slightly by moving his head a little. The bullet only left a scratch on his cheek.

Alright. He seems to be easily distracted by something that suddenly appear. He was extremely alert, but that could be his weakness as well. Only temporary though. If he's really an experienced mage, he will soon realize his own weakness and try to cover it. But while he hadn't done that, I'll make sure to use that weakness first.

I move to another location but not without thinking. I make sure that both Candy's and my location are in his sight.

Kayla has finished relayed my message to Sonia and Sonia will appear near Candy. I'll use that chance to shot him again.

The moment Sonia appears next to Candy, the governor was stunned as expected. And I shot another bullet again. This time, my target is his chest. But he also learned his lesson.

As soon as he heard the sound of the shooting, he quickly build an Ice Wall big enough to cover him from me. But that Ice Wall is quite fragile as it was made in a hurry so it's still broken through. The bullet struck his left chest. It didn't reach his heart but it damaged his lung.

I then moved to the rooftop of the building that I told Candy to hide into, and dropped Kayla there. She will heal Candy while I'm trying to capture the governor.

I move around quite a bit and shot several more times and finally, I stopped when I'm just ten meters away from him.

Wait! I forgot that the Magic Restriction Collar is still with Candy! That means I have to get close to him and pluck the HGB from his mouth? I think knocking him out is a better idea.

First, I can't have him realize that I know about the explosive inside his mouth. Or he will use that for his advantage knowing that we're here to capture him.

"Why don't you just die already? Don't dodge my shot next time, okay?" I tried to provoke him.

"…you're taming a ghost to be a long distant communication tool? That's a great idea." He said.

"I know, right? Anyway, governor… no. I'll just call you Luiz if that's fine with you. If it's not fine, it doesn't matter anyway. There's a stampede happening. Why didn't you do anything?" I pretend to not know about the cult.

"…who are you?" Luiz asked.

"I'm someone whose girlfriend about to be killed by you. Now please answer my question already."

"I just want to destroy the city. If she's your girlfriend, do you know why she attacked me and killed all my guards?"

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

I guess it's time for a back and forth questions times.

"Looking at you who doesn't care that his town is about to be destroyed, I'm quite sure that the reason she wants to kill you is because you're such a hateful governor. I bet there are a lot of people who wanted you die."

"Huff… so what? Many people tried to kill me even in the past, but none of them succeeded. And you will fail as well."

Luiz is starting to get out of breathe. It was because I used my air magic to make sure the air he breathe is getting thinner and thinner. I hope it's enough to make him faint.

"No. I won't fail."

"Huff… huff… but you're-!!!"

His eyes suddenly shot open as he realizes something. He suddenly moved away from that spot.

I instantly transformed Victorifle into a Victogun and shot Luiz.

But this time, Luiz's Ice Wall is stronger than before and my bullet unable to pierce through it.

"Huff… was it you? I have a hard time breathing… huff…"

Since he already noticed it, there are only two choice for me. One is to keep attacking him and making him out of breath, or talking with him until he fainted.

Let's try talking first.

"What if I am?"

"This… is air element magic… huff…"

Then he somehow able to take a deep breath and his breathing is slowly returning to normal again. Don't tell me!

"You're also an air element mage? You have four elements?!"

I was really surprised by this revelation. Other than Angela, I have never met another person with four elements. Two or three are quite common, but four? This battle will be harder and harder. I can no longer knock him out with making him unable to breathe.

"Huhuhu… it's the weakest among all the elements I have. It's still in beginner level even after so many years I tried to improve it. I thought that was fine since air magic only help me in breathing, but to think that you can also use it to get someone out of breath… there are still many things I can learn at this age, huh? Are those projectiles shot with using air magic as well?"

I was stunned to hear his correct observation of my attacks.

Calm down, me! It just mean he's very smart and sharp. The fight is getting harder but it's still not impossible to win. I'm still better than him in using air magic and moving my body. I can still win this fight!

I aimed Victogun at him. The real battle is about to begin!

Chapter 165 - Fighting Luiz

I aimed Victogun at Luiz and shoot one sharp rock as a bullet at him. He just calmly built an Ice Wall to protect himself.

"That doesn't seem to be the work of that magic tool. Neither it was from a wind magic. My guess is it was from your air magic, right? How did you do it?"

Yeah, people in this world doesn't know about compressing air. I also know about it from Victoria who came from another world. If not for her, I wouldn't be able to do it.

And I have no intention telling this guy about it. He can just keep thinking about what air magic can do. His curiosity might led him to be distracted. I'm hoping for that chance.

For now, I should keep moving while attacking him.

I keep my legs moves as I also hide from time to time when he's about to attack me. Then each time I found a chance, I shot a bullet at him. Although some time he didn't manage to build an Ice Wall in time, he's still quick enough to dodge the bullet. He keep getting scratch wound from the shot I did, but none of them are life threatening.

They just making him angrier and angrier. But he's still able to collect himself.

While he's thinking that I was too difficult to handle, he changed his magic to aim at where the girls are hiding.

"If I can't hit you, I can just kill your girlfriend!"

His target is the clothing store I had Candy and the others hide.

I pretended to be panicked and reacted slowly.

"No!"

Luiz casted a powerful lightning magic as an expert level lightning mage. It was a lightning force powerful enough to destroy that building. I don't know its name, but I think it's the most powerful lightning attack magic.

I look over at how the girls are doing, and they are fine even under the rubles of the building. It was thanks to Kayla's wand.

I told her to bring a lot of sand so she can protect Candy and the others from Luiz's lightning magic. And it worked!

Before Luiz casted his magic… no. Even before that, as soon as Kayla reached Candy, Kayla build a multiple layer dome shaped mound and had everyone hides under the mounds.

Neither of us know if one mound is enough to protect everyone, so I told Kayla to build multiple layer of them with the sand she's carrying.

Good thing that the weight of the sand she carried didn't change when she's holding the wand. If not, I wouldn't be able to come here quickly.

When I carried her, she's holding her earth wand and shaped the sand into a huge backpack on her back. That's why Luiz didn't get suspicious at all to what she's carrying.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

And although Kayla can use the earth under the building, it would take some time for her to bring them out since the flooring of that building is made of wood. She's still beginner level in earth element after all.

But when I fought Luiz, she used the time she has after healing the others to raise some earth to reinforce her dome shaped protection. Which is how she can endure the lightning.

If the attack was a fire or ice magic, then it would be Candy's turn.

"You bastard!"

I pretend to make him think that he really managed to kill Candy and the others even though I can see that they are doing fine. He smiled when I yelled at him.

"Now your girlfriend and her friends have died! What will you do now?"

I pretend to be angry and shoot at him multiple times. Of course all the bullets were either blocked or dodged.

Looking at his reaction, he seem to be convinced that I'm really angry. He's laughing at my poor attempts to kill him.

Expert level mage somehow able to detect people approaching them. But they don't realize when it's not a living being.

That's right. Sonia has been watching us from the beginning. And she will contact Kayla to move when Sonia noticed Luiz is distracted by me.

If I'm right, then expert level mage when they are being distracted, they won't notice anyone getting closer to them. That's something I learned from Veronica when we first met. I don't know if it's right, but it's worth trying.

Each time I attacked, Sonia told Kayla it's time to move to different spot after the place they hide was destroyed. I need their help if I want to capture Luiz alive.

But I can't just do the same thing over and over again. Luiz is sharp. He might realize that I'm just stalling for time. So it's time to attack differently. By using different weapon.

While I keep moving around, Luiz was confused by my never ending stamina. And I covered Victogun with my body. He can only see the left side of my body while I transformed Victoria on my right into a… shotgun!

I filled… what should I call it? Vicshotgun? I filled it with a lot of small pebbles and prepared to shot ten of them at a time. I think they're smaller than pebbles since I can fit about two hundred of them on the shotgun. But that's not important.

The most important thing is I have another twenty shots at Luiz. And with the power of the shotgun in both close and mid-range, he would have difficulty dodging.

When I stopped and pulled the shotgun to aim at him, he was surprised to see the shape of my gun is changing. But he keeps his cool and prepared to build an Ice Wall.

And when I shot with the shotgun, the Ice Wall is destroyed easily. Then I shot again as the wall is destroyed because it was attacked in multiple spots at the same time, and Luiz tried to dodge. But the bullets are too spread out he can't dodge them all. The impact pushed him back but he's still able to endure it.

"What was that?"

Whatever he said, I won't respond to it. He needs to be even more confused so I have more chance.

"That magic tool… I want it!"

Sorry, but this is not a magic tool. She's my summon. I can't hand her to anyone.

Twenty shot seems a lot, but even after I used all the bullets, he's still standing. How strong is this guy? He's even bleeding from his head but he's still standing. And the fact that he hadn't killed himself means that he must be thinking that he's still has a chance to defeat me.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

The end of our fight is coming. And it should be anti-climactic like how I usually fought.

I pretended to look despaired as I throw away the shotgun at him. Luiz must have thought that it's my last resort. Well, it will be.

If Kayla knows me as well as I imagined her to be, she would know that this is her time to come out of her hiding spot.

Luiz calmly grabbed the shotgun I threw and he thanking me for it.

"Well, thank you for your gift. I'll use it well to kill you- what?!"

The shotgun in his hand suddenly changed shape into a… tentacles? Why does Victoria want to be something that has tentacles?

The tentacles then wrapped around him and restrained him. Then a head appeared from one of the tentacles and said something.

"Sadly for you, I'm no magic item. I'm his summoned monster!" Victoria yelled at the man.

What's that? Too creepy! A head from a tentacle? That's just something out of horror stories!

Well, I won't let go of this chance.

While he was confused and scared about what happened, I get closer to him and throw a punch. A right hook to his temple. Not strong enough to kill him, but just strong enough to shake his brain for a few seconds.

"Roy! Catch!"

Kayla who knows what I want after throwing Victoria, come out of the hiding spot and threw the Magic Restriction Collar at me. Which I catch with my left hand and instantly put it on the confused Luiz's neck.

"Nice collar. It suits you well."

But I haven't done yet. After putting the collar and praised him for how fit it was on his neck, I inserted my fingers into his mouth and took out the HGB from his head.

Sigh… of all the things my fingers can enter, why is it men's mouth that has to be the place my fingers have entered into most?

"You know?! Who are you people?"

Luiz was shocked to see that I plucked out the HGB from his mouth. But he's being restrained and unable to use magic so there's nothing he can do.

"Does it matter to you who have been captured? And look! My girlfriends! They are still alive! Don't forget that there's an 's' behind the word 'girlfriends'. Making it plural. I'm awesome, right?"

Luiz was about to say something but I knocked him out for real this time.

Seeing Luiz fainted, Victoria released her restraint and Luiz dropped to the ground. And then I proceeded to dislocate his joints. Now there's really nothing he can do.

"Roy. Thanks for coming." Candy thanked me for saving her.

"No worry. That's what a boyfriend should do."

Did I see Candy blushing? Well, that's cute.

"Let's bring this guy to where the other prisoners are. Then we will take care of the stampede."

Chapter 166 - Short Rest

"I'll carry this guy to where I put the other prisoners are. You guys go take a break back at the hotel. Once you rested enough, return to fight the monsters. I will also return to the hotel after I carried this guy there."

Rather than carrying, it was more like pulling. I have dislocated his joints and let him lay on the ground as I pulled his leg. So it's not exactly carrying.

I also told the others to go rest in the hotel for a while. Lina should have some food to give us. And I'll be joining them as well.

"Alright. By the way, how many prisoners did you take?" Candy asked.

"Seven. Eight if I including this guy on the list. Well, some of them should be dead already. But I made sure they died in pain so no one will follow him."

I remembered how one prisoner shot his own balls and screamed in pain as the others are watching. Only crazy bastards would follow suit.

"And how many people did you kill?" Candy asked again.

Did she suspect me trying to kill everyone instead of capturing them? Well she's right. Let's just answer her honestly.

"More than one."

That's my honest answer.

"Digits. He hadn't finished speaking. He's saying he has killed more than one digit of them." Victoria said.

"Well, that's as expected. It's too difficult to capture more people after all in this situation. But seven of them are good enough. But I don't think any one of them would say anything."

"That's right! No matter what you asked, none of us will say anything! I don't know how you figure it out, but we are not someone who will say something easily!"

Luiz suddenly spoke after hearing Candy's words. Well, I don't expect any of them to actually talk after all. Let's just show him what I can do.

"Ehem… cough… lala, no that's wrong. Lala? Lalala? Lalilu? Oh this one sounds right?"

I mumbled nonsense while everyone is hearing. None of them know what I had in mind.

"What are you doing?" Luiz is the first one to ask.

And I answered him after I adjusted my voice with air magic. That nonsense mumbling was me practicing how to alter my voice to be similar to Luiz's.

"What do you think I'm doing?" I spoke with his voice.

"That's… my voice! Don't tell me you…" Luiz and everyone is shocked to hear Luiz's voice coming out of my mouth.

"Yeah. I don't need you to say anything. After the stampede over, we will tell everyone about your cult, your goal, and everything that we know about the cult. You will stand in front of the public and I will speak with your voice. Isn't that great? Since we don't need you to speak anymore, I think it's better if I just cut your tongue, right? Anyone who doesn't want to see it please look away. Kayla. You just need to heal him after I finished cutting his tongue."

"Okay." Kayla followed my order.

If you own a mouse, you have to play this game. No Install. Play for free.Panzer.Quest strategy game

"Wait! I'll speak! Don't cut my tongue!" Luiz begged me.

"Hmm? For someone who used to carry an explosive inside his mouth, you seem to be too scared to die." I asked him.

"I don't want to die! I put that thing in my mouth because it was something that everyone has to have when they joined the cult! Please don't cut my tongue or kill me! I will tell you everything!" Luiz continue to beg me to spare his life.

I look at Candy and Ms. Wendy's reaction. Seems like they let me decide on my own.

Without saying anything, I pulled out his tongue and cut it with the blade of my spear.

"Kayla, heal."

"Understood."

Luiz screamed in pain. And he can't move his body since I dislocated his joint. It looks weird seeing a man screaming in pain like this.

I feel annoyed to hear his screaming so I knock him out.

After I knock him out, I pulled his leg again and about to bring him with me when Ms. Wendy stopped me.

"Roy. Do you think that was the right choice? Cutting his tongue? What if he has a secret to tell us?" Ms. Wendy asked.

"Well, we already have one informant already. One is already difficult to trust. And having two will make it harder."

"You still don't trust Ve… that girl?" Ms. Wendy carefully stopped calling Veronica by name in case Luiz or someone else is listening.

"Yes. We should really have Albert meet her at least once. Only then, I will be able to trust her."

With Albert's lie detection skill, I will be able to trust her. It's funny how I can trust everyone else here but Veronica just because she managed to seduce me just once. If it was not for Victoria, I would be dead already. And it was also Victoria who approached her first. Which makes us able to know more about the stampede.

After that, I brought Luiz to the where the other prisoners are. As soon as I arrived there, Luiz's consciousness returned.

We saw in the room where I put the prisoners are that the guy who shoot himself with fireball is no longer breathing. And the other prisoners don't dare to look at the corpse. Even I don't want to.

Then Luiz shouts gibberish words because his tongue was cut. Maybe he said something like why didn't the others kill themselves. I don't know and I don't care. As long as we can keep Luiz alive, it's fine for the other to die.

I put Luiz in the corner of the room so even if someone is casting their magic, it won't reach him. Then I left that place and return to the hotel where I was greeted by delicious food.

"This is…"

"Kayla said that you're coming, so I made these. You should be hungry, right?"

"…Lina! You're the best maid ever!"

I had a feast along with everyone who fought against Luiz. I'm the only one doing it happily. The agents are mourning on their friends' death.

I look below to the basement, and see that some civilians are hiding there. Hill is also there asking the people to be calm.

After finishing my meals, I went below there and told Hill about the prisoners. I told him that he can do anything he want as long as the governor stays alive.

"I hope someone is my type."

Nope. I didn't hear him mumbling something. Not at all.

Then I returned to the dining hall and everyone is ready to go again.

"Have you all rested enough?"

"We can't stay here when we know this isn't over yet." Ms. Wendy said.

"Then why did you wait for me? You can go now."

Then the agents are leaving. Only Kayla, Candy, Ms. Wendy, and Lina stay here.

"What is it?"

They are looking at me curiously.

"Roy, although we caught Luiz, the stampede isn't over yet. What will you do now?" Candy asked.

Victoria who seems to be interested in this discussion, transformed into her human form and take a seat to listen to this discussion.

"Kill more monsters."

"Hmm? I thought you will answer something like you will run away?" Victoria asked.

"Of course I will. Only once I thought that it's impossible to continue fighting. But despite this many monsters coming, we're still doing great. So I have hope that we can do this."

Just a few moments ago, before I go to the north gate, I was being pessimistic. But now after we managed to capture the expert level mage, Luiz, I have expectation that we can do this.

"Sigh… if that's the case, then I'm glad." Victoria said.

"Why?"

"Before the stampede, the girls had a discussion about what to do if you decided to run away. This is the event that affect you the most in your previous life so I thought you have some kind of trauma or something."

Trauma? Well I did have one. It's the trauma of the time I was killed. But I have killed the one responsible for it. Maybe that's how my trauma was healed.

As for this stampede, maybe since I don't have many friends at that time that I don't feel traumatic at all.

"Thanks for worrying, but I'm fine."

"Tsk! Just when I prepared a good speech to say to you." Victoria seems mad.

"Speech? I bet it's something from another story again. You sure love things like that, right?"

"Yes. But I won't say it anymore. But there's still one advice I can give you. Go all out."

"I already go all out, though?" I'm tilted my head in confusion. I always did my best so what does she mean?

"I mean go all out like the Aura user you are. Fight the enemies head on instead of keep running and attacking from distance. This way, you can grow faster and know how powerful you are. All this time, you have been wondering how powerful you are, right? Now it's time to use your real strength. Don't worry about other people seeing you. I'll be your armor to protect your identity."

How strong I am… I don't know the answer to that question. I guess I'll use this chance to try it. I know that I am already way stronger than the day I died, but knowing how strong I am will be extremely useful.

"Fine. I'll do as you say."

And this time, no longer running away!

Chapter 167 - Why The Cape?

Fighting the monsters head on… I never did it unless I know that the enemy is weaker than me. And even when I fought head on, usually I'm with my party members.

The only time I ever fought like that was in my previous life. I was so bold back then just because I manifested Aura. Thinking that I can defeat everyone.

Well, I guess I should try to become bold like that again. I believe there were no more cult members left in this city, and I will also wear some disguise as well. So no one will find out about my identity. They will think that I'm a Living Armor just like Victoria before. After all, in this world, no one should know about Aura. Except maybe the one called the Evil God. But I don't think he's in this city.

"Alright. Let's put on your armor."

More than putting on my armor, Victoria is just enveloped me with her slimy body and transformed into a full body armor complete with the helmet. Is that a cape hanging from my shoulder?

"Why the cape?"

"For mysteriousness."

"I don't need it. Why is the helmet doesn't cover my mouth?"

"So when you speak, your voice won't be muffled."

"Is that so… wait!"

When I look down to see the torso and my leg area, I saw my shadow on the ground. Thanks to the lighting, I can see the top of my head. And there's something weird on my head.

"Why is there a pair of ear like things above my helmet?"

I saw the shadow and touched the part with two pointy triangular shape on my head. They look just like a pair of ear of some kind of animal.

"…I want you to say 'I am vengeance!' in a deep voice." Victoria asked for me to say something I don't understand.

"What?"

"Not what. 'I am vengeance. I am the night. I am…"

"Is this another of your wish fulfillment from your previous world again? I won't do that!"

She sure loves to put anything she want from her original world to try now. When I asked Sonia if this was the case back when both of them were alive, she said it wasn't. That mean it happened after she became a black slime with shape shifting ability.

I keep wondering what's with that world of her? It was so weird. So I rejected to do what she wants.

"Later. If I remember." I said.

"Well, that's why I want you to do it now! Your memory suck!"

What? What did she say? Maybe I forgot about it already. I don't think it's important anyway. Now, let's go kill some monsters.

I already lost my cape and the pointy helmet when I left the hotel. Those are just unnecessary accessories. While Victoria just clicked her tongue. Does she has a tongue? I mean I don't want my armor to have a tongue. That's creepy.

Good thing I didn't see any tongue or weird things on my armor. I still don't understand how she could speak when she's not in her human form.

The armor is kind of heavy. It will restrict my movement. So I told Victoria to reduce her weight. And then she asked me if she's fat? She can alter her appearance so why is she saying something weird again?

Now the armor is perfect. My movement is no longer restricted and it's very light. It no longer has any function as an armor, but it's a disguise anyway so it's fine.

Since I have gone to the south, west, and north, now is the time to go to the east. After that will be south, west, and north again.

I wanted to fight the monsters inside the city at first, but when I look around, everyone is doing fine so far. The wyverns are mostly stay up in the air and haven't attacked yet. Other than that one wyvern that ate a kid before. Maybe they will only attack when they are hungry.

For now, I'll let those hunters and guards inside the city to watch over the wyverns first. And since all the citizens have been evacuated, there's no hurry in defeating the monsters inside the city.

Destroyed buildings? Those things don't matter. I'm going to leave this city after this is over after all and return to Cassau.

As soon as I arrived at the east gate, I can clearly see why Victoria only reported that they are fine.

The monsters in this area are not too much for the hunters here. But the hunters assigned here are also not too strong as well.

They can hold back the monsters, but they find it difficult to defeat them since they don't have many powerful hunters here. So there are no one can finish those monsters.

When Victoria was here, she was the only one killing the monsters that the hunters are holding back. Once she killed some of them, she left the place thinking that the hunters here should be able to protect the gate.

As for the troublemakers that tried to retreat back to the city, they are being ignored. No one cares about those who retreated. The hunters are busy protecting the city from the monsters.

I heard from Victoria on the way that when she arrived here, she saw many people hiding and peeking at the battle even though the monsters are not that strong. She thought they must be members of the cult and killed them all.

That must be why she said this area is fine. All the cult members have been killed by her. And I don't see any more of them.

This area is well protected by the hunters, but soon they will be losing. No matter how evenly matched they are against the monsters, the monsters stamina are much greater than mages who never trained their stamina.

And so, I joined the fight.

I see a group of hunters finally having trouble with a group of wolves. I went over there and slash the wolves with a sword I had Victoria transformed to. Since she's already become an armor, it means the sword and anything she made is attached to the armor. I can't throw it but it's fine since I'm here to fight the monsters head on.

As for my spear, I snapped it into three and just put them on my back. I'll use it when it's necessary. For now, I need to improve Victoria's time first. Then I will soon able to improve my summoning element level soon and I can have another contracted monster thanks to the Pear-y fruit.

"Who are you?"

A hunter asked me, but I won't say anything since I'm pretending to be another Living Armor.

"Don't tell me, another Living Armor? And this one is stronger than the previous one!"

"There must be a summoner in the city trying to help us!" Another hunter exclaimed.

"I don't think so. Since there are two Living Armors, that person must be a tamer. We should be grateful to whoever he is later. For now, let's focus on other monsters. He can take care of these wolves!"

Seems like that one is the leader of this party.

He is with four other hunters, and the enemies are wolves. About twenty of them. They are quite good to be able to protect themselves against this many wolves. Even when one magic is weak, as long as they can coordinate well with other mages, they can handle many things that one can't do.

Seeing how I can easily defeat several wolves, these wolves hostilities are aimed at me. While I just keep swinging my sword around and kill them one by one.

These wolves are not enough to tell me how powerful I have become. But I still took care of them all.

The strongest monsters in this area, from what I can see, are Orc Generals. There are five of them and they move in a group. There are about fifteen hunters working together to hold those Orc Generals. I guess I'll help the other first before going against those Orc Generals.

I move to another group and fight the monsters they were facing. I also pointed my sword to where the Orc Generals are telling these hunters to help those people since I can see little by little that we are being pushed back.

The hunters seem to understand me and help the other blocking the Orc Generals while I took care of the small fries.

I keep moving from one place to another while finishing all the monsters the other hunters can't take care of. Until finally, it's time to fight the five Orc Generals.

There are five Orc Generals moving in one group, but no one is leading them. I don't see the sight of an Orc Emperor. How did these Orc Generals grouped together?

Probably it was because of the hunters. They thought it would be a big trouble if they are separated, so they gathered the Orc Generals in one spot and have the strongest hunters grouped as well to stop these five from entering the city.

If that was the case, then the one who suggested that idea is a genius.

"The Living Armor is here! Let's send the Orc General to it one by one! Wait! Send him three at once!"

The one who seem to be the leader see I raised three fingers and told the others to give me three Orc Generals right away.

I approached an Orc General and slashed its fingers right away. The hand that hold its weapon is now only has one thumb and the weapon is fallen to the ground.

Its scream alerted the other Orc Generals. I stepped back and all the Orc Generals are chasing after me. But the two who are last in chasing me is being stopped by the hunters.

I don't want others to see that the weapon I have is changing, so I keep using a sword as weapon. I slashed the fingerless Orc General on its body. Before, I had trouble even piercing its heart. But now, the slash give it a major injury. Although it wasn't enough to kill it, I'm glad to see how powerful I am.

I didn't target its neck or eyes like I usually did, and it only took me five slashes to kill one Orc General. And it only took fifteen slashes to kill three of them.

I look at the surrounding and see that there are still monsters approaching this city. And like before, the monsters in this area are not too strong. At least this time, there are no Orc General anymore.

When I was about to help the hunters defeating the last two and continue fighting, one hunter stopped me.

"We can take care of these two and those approaching monsters! Please go to another location!"

I nodded when I see that he's right. The two Orc Generals are getting exhausted fighting too many hunters at once and soon it will die.

And so I left that spot and my destination this time is the south.

Chapter 168 - I'm Not Wearing It!

The south area and the west area are done similarly like in the east. I just helped the hunters take care of the strong monsters. They are happy that only monsters they can defeat are left behind. Now they can get some rewards from the guild.

Wait, I forget about that! How many monsters have I defeated? I should be the one contributed the most in defeating monsters. Should I start counting?

I think that will be useless. No one would believe that I defeated that much monsters. Let's just pretend that I didn't participate at all.

Goodbye, money.

In the west area, I met Oleg again. And somehow he noticed my identity right away. He said thank you for helping them and told me to go somewhere else. Everyone really loves to gain achievements, huh? They just told me to leave once they can handle the monsters.

That's fine, though.

Then the last area is the north gate again. But before going there, I need to check on Kron first. He's still fighting in the city.

As for the wyverns above the sky, I left them be for now. I still can't move freely in the sky. Maybe once I improved my air element to Intermediate, I can finally step on air. That's something to look forward to.

When I see Kron, he's alone fighting a group of monsters. There are many corpses around him. Probably corpses of hunters who tried to escape. Kron doesn't seem to mind them dead.

But he's already exhausted. He keep fighting the monsters inside the city while making sure that no civilians are harmed. He can't see like I can, so he doesn't know if there are civilians around him or not. That's why we he didn't use his full strength.

"Kron! You need to get some rest! Your flying magic will be necessary to fight against those wyverns! Let me handle everything here!"

"Okay! I'll be resting at the hotel now!" Then he flew away to the hotel.

As long as he got enough rest, I don't think the wyverns will be too much trouble for him. And with Shirley and Ms. Wendy as well, they should be able to hold these wyverns when they're going to attack.

Remembering that I hadn't tell them about it, I contacted Sonia mid-battle and told her to relay a message to any flying mages to get some rest. They will have important roles during the fight against wyverns.

And if they have a partner they want to carry in the sky, they can ask their partners to get some rest as well. Then they will be the one flying while carrying the attackers. Of course if they can do it alone, it's fine as well.

I fought the leftovers of Kron's battle. The monsters here are… not worth mentioning. The strongest one is able to endure six slashes of my attack. But it died on the seventh.

Although fighting the enemies head on is not something I usually do, it was still quite easy to do it. With my Divine Vision, just like Victoria told me, I can predict their movements by seeing the miniscule movement of their muscles.

So far, there's no monsters I have to block their attack. All of them are not fast enough to make me block them.

And I don't need to move so much of my body to dodge their attack. Just enough to not let it hit me. Like swaying my upper body, lifting my leg so it won't be hit, and take a step backward.

Maybe I don't need to fight sneakily again? No. those are still necessary. I'm fighting head on since I know that most cult members nearby should be dead already. And no one would inform the cult about my existence.

I guess it means different situation, different fighting style.

In no time at all, I defeated all the monsters that Kron fought. Sorry. I lied about the no time. It took me about one hour. It took a while since some monsters decided to escape when they realized they have no chance to win against me.

They are spread out that I have difficulty to which one I have to chase after first. When I want to chase another monster, it was already escape quite far. And while chasing after the monsters, I encounter another group of monsters fighting the city guards.

So I ended up taking my time defeating all the monsters inside the city. Other than the wyverns that stay in the sky.

I thought that the stampede will be over soon, but no one would have thought that there's still one last wave coming. It's coming from the north.

Worse of all, I feel the ground shaking.

I look around but I still don't see anything that can cause this earthquake. Which means it's either a monsters with earth magic, or a gigantic monsters.

Why did it have to end with such a troublesome monster?

And soon enough, Sonia appears in front of me reporting a monster's approach.

"Roy! A Giant Salamander is approaching from the north!"

"Giant Salamander? Tell me about that monster."

"It's a gigantic fire lizard! The length of that monster should be about fifty meters. It can breathe fire as well."

That sounds like that monsters I encounter in the dungeon. The one where I found Kayla's wand is. But I think this one is bigger than that.

"What about other areas?"

"No other waves are coming. This one should be the last one."

"Alright. Tell the flying group to take care of the wyverns. How many flying groups do we have?" I asked Sonia.

"There should be about five of them. Three groups are people you know well. First is Kron. He's flying and fighting alone. Then next is Wendy and Candy. And the third is Shirley and Angela. Although Angela is the one with the weakest level, she's still considered as a powerhouse during this stampede."

"Good. I'll be going then."

Fighting against that Giant Salamander should be difficult. With my sword, I think it looks like I'm poking a monster with a needles.

Before I left, Victoria stopped me.

"Roy. Fire."

"Yes! It is a fire breathing monster! What about it?!"

"It's with Candy." Victoria continue.

"What is it?!"

"…"

"No! I won't wear it!"

I know what she's thinking about. It's that fishnet stocking that currently on Candy's possession.

"…"

"Never!"

"Stocking…"

10 Mobile App That Can Make You Money

"No!"

"Sssstooooockiiiiiingggg…"

"…uuuuuuuaaaaaaaah!!! Fine! But you will be the one to wear it!"

I told Victoria that she will be the one to wear it.

"It won't make difference you know? I'm still your armor after all. And if I wear it, it will still be you who ended up wearing it."

"No! It has a big difference! Especially for my heart! And you can make it so the stocking can't be seen by other, right? You will be the one who wear it!"

Although this is an urgent matter, Sonia is just there laughing. Don't laugh!

"I still think there's no difference, but fine."

"And we don't really need to wear it, right? I can just fold it and put it in my pocket. That should still work."

"Okay, okay. I still think you will look good wearing fishnet stocking." Victoria added.

"Even if that's the case, doesn't mean I will wear it!"

"So you don't deny that you will look good?"

"I accept all kind of compliment you threw toward me. And I will always look good in anything I wear. But there are some things I would never wear."

Sonia who's still laughing disappear suddenly. She must be telling Candy that I'm coming for the stocking.

Candy should be at the hotel now since she's a pair with Ms. Wendy. So I'm going there right away.

As soon as I arrived, Candy already took off the stocking and present it to me. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!

Kayla, Sophie, Angela, Shirley, Candy, Ms. Wendy, Lina, and even Kron is watching. What is this? A new kind of torture?

"Here's the stocking. You can wear it now. It's still warm." Candy said with her face full of smile.

"Thanks for it still being warm, but I'm not wearing it! Victoria is the one who wears it! And I can just put it in my pocket so it's still effective!"

"It's not, Roy. We tried it before. It doesn't work that way. You have to wear it properly, on your legs." Candy said.

"It's Victoria!"

"Fine, it's Victoria. Just sit over there and we'll put it on for you."

Candy then pushed me back and I fall with my butt on the chair. When did Lina get over here and set the chair?

Then the girls started holding my body so I won't moves too much and Candy and Sophie lifted my legs and started to put the stocking over Victoria's leg armor.

What kind of shame play is this?! And I thought I was shameless…

"Don't worry. The size is adjustable. It will fit you." Sophie said.

Kron and Sonia just watching over there and laugh. At least I should be glad that Hill isn't here.

As soon as the girls finished dressing me with the stocking, I told Victoria to shape shift so she can cover it. There's no way I'm going outside while being seen wearing this.

I quickly left the hotel while everyone is laughing. I need to relieve my shame by killing that Giant Salamander.

Chapter 169 - Whack-A-Toe

I left the hotel with people close to me cheering for me. It's not laughter, it's cheers. They are cheering for me with a smile. A smile combined with exhaling air from their lungs which makes multiple 'Ha' sound.

"They're laughing at you, Roy." Victoria said.

"Shut up! They're cheering for me with a weird way!"

"Roy. Do you know? If I transform myself into just the upper body of the armor, the stocking on the leg armor will be moved to you. So, it will be you who to wear it."

"Please don't do that! I beg you, my dear Victoria!"

I'm begging her while I'm jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

"Then you will do as I say. Now the Giant Salamander's fire won't work on you. The only thing it has against you is its strong physical power combined with its size. And you will fight it head on. Ignore other mages attacking the monster!"

"If I ignore them, I will be the one to get hit by their magic! It will be fine if they're fire or ice magic, but I'm still vulnerable to other type of magic, you know?"

"You know what I mean. Just attack the monster with physical attacks combined with your Aura. Don't use dirty tricks or sneak attack."

"That's impossible! With the body of that size, no normal attack can kill it! Tactic also important in battle you muscle head!"

"Alright, alright. I actually just want to see if it's possible. Just fight however you want."

So, in the end she's just teasing me?!

I finally arrived outside the north gate. I see that all the monsters have been defeated and only some hunters left guarding this place. And everyone is looking at the Giant Salamander in fear.

In my previous life, I never notice such a giant monster attacking the city. I do feel some kind of earthquake back then. I thought maybe the monsters is getting closer to where I hide, but maybe the cause of that earthquake is this lizard. I might be wrong though, since my memory sucks.

Anyway, my past doesn't matter anymore. The present is more important! That's why I hope I will receive a gift from the others after this is over. After all present=gift. Got it? Sorry for the lame joke.

Before I start charging to the Giant Salamander, I prepared my spear as well. I repair it back to one piece. I want to test how powerful my attack if I throw this spear to that lizard.

I run toward the Giant Salamander with the spear on my right hand, and prepare to throw it. I covered my whole body to throw the spear. If I just covered my arm, the power is not as much as when I'm covering my whole body.

After all, even though I look like throwing with one arm, I actually threw the spear with my whole body. My legs, my hip, waist, chest, neck, and obviously my right arm that will throw the spear. And even my left arm to pull my body as my right arm pushed it.

This is a spear throw with my full strength. I'm confident to be able to give a huge damage to the Giant Salamander with this.

I see it getting closer and closer to the Giant Salamander's forehead and finally the spear reached its forehead.

*tuk*

"…let's escape." I said.

"So fast! Why did you give up when you just hit that monster once?!" Victoria shouted angrily at me. Now that she's covering my whole body, I heard her voice right next to my ears. Her shout is ringing my ears.

"Don't you hear that sound? What's with the 'tuk'? How come I used all my power and it only make a tuk sound? That's not a sound I want to hear! Let's give up! Escape from this city with everyone!"

"It's just one tuk! Don't you always say it? If you can't kill it with one hit, then kill it with two hits. If not then three. If not then attack it again and again until it dies. It's the same with this lizard!"

"No, it's not! I only said it knowing that at least my attack can damage my enemy! But what's with this tuk? There's no way that tuk give any damage? No matter how many tuks I give, it will never die! I can't just keep tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-ing it until it dies! Everyone would die first before I give that thing any damage! And that spear didn't even faze that lizard!"

The spear I threw was bounced back and stabbed the ground. That Giant Salamander doesn't even seem to notice that it was just got attacked. I feel no hope in winning against this thing.

"There are many things can influence how the attack didn't hurt that Salamander! Gravity, wind, the speed of that spear, the strength of that spear, the sharpness of that spear, the distance, where it hits, and more! What if its forehead is the strongest part of Giant Salamander? Why didn't you aim at its belly? Usually, lizard type monsters' weakness are their bellies, right? The least protected by its scales. Like a dragon's weakness?" Victoria said it angrily.

"How do you know? Have you fought a dragon before?"

"It's common sense from my world!"

"Then your world has dragons? I thought there's no monsters in that world." I said.

"…we're talking about that Giant Salamander right now. Not about dragon."

"Don't change the subject! You don't even know if dragons' weakness is their belly, right? You haven't even fought any dragons in this world!"

"…what about you? I said many things about the reason why your attack didn't give any damage at all, but have you tried everything? What about covering your spear with Aura?" Victoria asked.

"…ah!"

Shit! I forgot to pour Aura into the spear! No wonder it didn't do any damage! How could I be this stupid! Must be the stocking! Because my mind is filled by the stocking, I forgot many things! As I thought, I shouldn't have worn this stocking! Wait, it was Victoria who's wearing it. Well, she shouldn't wear it in the first place then.

"You just said ah! You totally forgot to pour your Aura to your spear! Why are you like this in this important moment?!"

"Let's start round two." I ignored Victoria.

"The first round hasn't even started!"

Well… what to do now? My only way for ranged attack is gone. To retrieve that spear right now is too dangerous. It bounced away behind that Giant Salamander. I guess in the end, it will be a close-range combat.

Now, where should I aim it? Its belly is so high that I have to jump first before I attack. But doing so will make me vulnerable to its attack.

While I was thinking of how to attack it, the Giant Salamander's whole body suddenly on fire. And there's also fire inside its mouth. Is it trying to use its fire breath? If a monster this size uses its breath attack, there will be too many casualties! I have to stop it!

Without thinking much, I had Victoria transformed into a hammer. I covered my whole body with Aura again, and this time, I didn't forget to cover my hammer as well.

I run toward the Giant Salamander and… goes under it and approached its right front foot. I raised the hammer high and swung it down as strong as possible to its… toe. One of its toes.

"Why?!!!" Victoria shouted.

"You always feel pain when you stubbed your toe, right? That's why I did this."

And just like I thought, the Giant Salamander is in too much pain its head raised to the sky instead of aiming to the city. Making its fire breath attacking no one. Oh wait! There's a wyvern up there getting hit by the fire!

The wyvern died leaving the smell of a cooked meat. Now I want to taste it. Maybe I should ask Lina to cook one for me.

The Salamander raised its right foot due to the pain. The toe is totally broken and I also destroyed the claw attached to that toe.

Meanwhile, I moved to its left front foot and attacked one of its toes again.

"You're playing whack-a-mole this time?" Victoria asked.

"What's that? There are no moles here. Just toes."

"You're playing whack-a-toe this time?"

"After that first toe I hammered, I see that the lizard can feel the pain since it's broken. So I thought of destroying all its toes. If I'm right, then monster's toes have similar function as human's toes. To assist in walking and balancing the body. I hope that's the case with this one as well. If I destroyed all its toes, it will have a hard time walking and we can end it here before it reaches the city." I explained to Victoria.

"…you always have the weirdest idea."

"As long as it works! And it is working so far!"

And I continue smashing its toes. Its flaming toes. The fire is even reaching its toes, but I don't mind it at all. It was because of the stocking I had with me. But if I'm asked if I'm grateful to have this on me, I will say no.

Chapter 170 - Killing The Giant Salamander

Giant Salamander Has four feet. Each foot has five toes. Or is it fingers? Well, if I count its front feet as hands, then maybe ten fingers and ten toes. In any case, the Giant Salamander has twenty toes. And I managed to break twelve of them.

Two from its right front foot, three from its left front foot, two toes in its left hind foot, and all five of its right hind foot.

The Giant Salamander has difficulty maintaining its balance with its heavy weight. It tried to stand with its palms on the ground, but it's only making that Giant Salamander unable to move. Standing on its four feet is the only thing it can do. But with its tail on behind it, it can still barely able to move by using its tail as a pivot.

Did it do this instinctively? If so, that's awesome!

Well, thanks to it using its tail as pivot to help it move, I know that this lizard no longer has any means to attack me. The Giant Salamander has no means to attack under its body other than slamming its own body to the ground. But once it did that, it won't be able to stand anymore.

"Damn! You're evil!" Victoria exclaimed as I explained to her my plan.

"Hahaha! As long as we win! If we defeat this monster, not just your time will be full. I can also probably raise my summoning level! As for this lizard's fire around its body, those things don't have any effect on me! I'm nearly invincible even though I'm not proud to what I have to wear. The heat doesn't bother me anyway!" I said as I'm aiming for another one of the lizard's toes.

"…it should be the cold." Victoria whispered something.

"Heat or cold, neither of them can harm me at the moment!"

"That's not what I'm talking about, but sure. Are you going to keep hammering its toes like this? This lizard doesn't have much toes anymore." Victoria asked.

"Of course not! Once people realized that this thing unable to move, they would swarm over here and cast their magic to attack this thing. There's no way those people would try to leave such easy kill alone. All of them are fighting over the fame of defeating this monster. Unless they are smart."

Smart people won't try to gain achievement this way. It will only cause trouble for themselves. If the story that this monster was defeated by some weak hunters spread, and the rumor is different from the fact, those hunters will gain recognition and will be trusted to receive difficult tasks.

I can see from the gate that many people already noticed how the Giant Salamander has difficulty moving and they are started to approach us. Some of them even already casted magic from that far.

There are even hunters who have retreated into the city, returning back to the battlefield hoping for an achievement. I really want to kill them.

Meanwhile, the Giant Salamander realized that it will be surrounded soon, so it prepared to use its flame breath attack again. Although during the fight I managed to turn its body slightly so it no longer looking at the city, it can still move its neck. And it is aiming for the idiot hunters who are coming straight from the city. Which means if those idiots can't block the fire breath, the city will be in danger.

Well, I have faith that the fire will hit those idiots! Please die for the sake of the citizen! I hope the damage to the city won't be too big.

Oh, wait! The smarter hunters are actually still near the gate and didn't move at all! And they are cooperating in building barriers from ice and earth to stop the fire breath!

They should be able to protect the city. I will try to smash another toe wishing that it will scream in pain again and attacked the sky, but seems like the Giant Salamander can now endure the pain and still aimed at the incoming hunters.

Obviously, most of them died. Some of them had half of their bodies burnt. Some lost their limbs. But they are all idiots so I don't really pity them at all.

The fire goes on until it hits the barrier and stops.

After that, the smarter hunters are spread right and left, making sure no one is in a straight line to the city as they get closer to the Giant Salamander. As for the idiots, most of them retreating again.

I think there are more hunters than before even including the ones who retreated. Maybe it means the other areas are already safe.

As for the airborne troops, the wyverns seem to be retreating after they feel the heat of the fire breath from the Giant Lizard. So Kron and the others are coming here.

Having so many reinforcements is fine and all, but I hope I will be the one who hit this lizard last since I want to improve my summoning level quickly. I'm curious about monsters' world and what kind of monster I can get contract with.

Back to the battle. I'm going for another one of the Giant Salamander's toes, but seems like it gave up attacking other people.

It purposely pressed down its body as I'm still under this monster. If it was anyone else, they would be pressed to death. But I'm faster than other people. I can escape before I got caught.

Now seeing the Giant Salamander on its belly, should make it easier for me, but that's wrong.

The Giant Salamander still has a lot of strength in all four of its legs. With putting the heels of its feet to the ground, it can still stand up again while enduring the pain from its broken toes.

"Look! Whatever you did before are all useless! Attacking its toes doesn't mean anything!"

Victoria sure loves to complain.

"At least its movement is slowed down significantly. Now, what to do? Maybe I'll just pierce its brain or its heart. I guess I should aim at its heart. But attacking from its chest might be difficult since it might press down its body again. Maybe from its back?" I thought.

I run on its side climbing to its back with my feet sticking to it. With my Divine Vision's see-through ability, I can see where its heart is located. The heart's location is closer to its back than its chest. But the back is harder, I guess I need a better weapon to be able to hit that far.

"Roy, what weapon will you use?" While climbing on the Giant Salamander's back, Victoria asked me.

"I'm still thinking. Do you have any suggestion?" I asked back.

"I do. I'll show you once you've arrived on its back."

"We're here anyway. I'm right above its heart. What weapon will you show me?"

While chatting with Victoria, I have arrived to where I'm going. Not on top of its back, but right above its heart. This way, I just need to pierce through below me to kill it.

And Ms. Wendy already arrived here while carrying Candy, and Candy is attacking the Giant Salamander's head. Candy attacked with lightning magic to its eye, but the Giant Salamander dodge it and the lightning struck its forehead. But it didn't do much damage. I guess its forehead is really the strongest part of this Salamander.

And then all the other hunters also arrived. Even another group of idiots is coming.

From head to tail, this Giant Salamander is covered with fire. But there are still many idiots here attacking with fire magic.

"Roy, I'll show you the best weapon for this occasion!" Victoria said.

Then the armored part in my right hand, where Victoria usually transformed into sword or hammer, changed into a… drill?

"It's a drill! Cover this drill with your Aura and make it spin over and over again on the target!"

"Victoria… you are the best! This is a great idea!" I praised Victoria for her idea.

"Hehe… of course I know you will like it. I am the one closest to you after all. I know your preference."

Seems like she's thinking of what I want as well. I'm grateful for her help.

Meanwhile, the Giant Salamander noticed I'm on its back and it keep shaking its body trying to threw me. But with my Aura ability, I can stick my feet to its back like a glue. I'm more of a lizard than this Giant Salamander.

"Victoria. Can you spin fast enough for the drill to dig through this thick scales' back?"

"That's up to you. See that thing beside the drill that looks like a reel for fishing? Just spin it real fast."

I looked at where she told me, and there's indeed something I can spin. I tried spinning the reel and the drill indeed spinning. It spun as fast as I spin the reel.

Now that I know how to use the drill, I stick the tip of the drill right above the heart and spun the reel as fast as possible.

At first, it was quite though drilling the scale. But I spun the reel faster and the drill finally break through the scale after just a few minutes. Of course the Giant Salamander tried to fight back, but I'm immune to fire at the moment. Other hunters must be thinking that I'm burning, but I'm totally fine. And even if someone else is wearing the stocking, only those with air magic can breathe in this place.

After drilling through its scale, the rest are easy. The skin, the muscle, it was easy to pierce those and I purposely attack it in between its ribs so there is no bone between me and its heart.

The Giant Salamander stopped its fire and keep flailing about because of the pain, but I ignore it. I wonder how a quadrupedal animal scratch their back?

And I find the answer soon enough. The Giant Salamander tried flip its body upside down to press its back on me. Knowing I'm in danger, I enlarge the drill and make a huge hole from where I first drilled its body enough for me to enter.

Because of the first hole I dig, it was easy and I can enlarge the hole enough for me to enter. I'm totally covered in blood. As for the smell, I have air magic to cover my nose and mouth with.

After I entered its back, I changed the drill again to a smaller type since it's faster. While I'm upside down and shaking, I drilled through its heart.

Finally, the Giant Salamander stopped moving and died.

"Roy! I can feel it! I'm finally able to take control of this slime fully!"

"I know! I can feel that there's some kind of power entering my body and improving my summoning element! I think I'll be able to reach Intermediate level soon!"

We're both happy with the result. But there's one thing we forget. We're still inside the salamander's body and the place we entered from is blocked since the lizard is laying on its back.

I guess I should continue drilling until I left through its chest.
