Chapter 89.2. Mercenary Characters Are Annoying In Real Life
“Tentententen.”
Miu replied cutely, like the humming of a bird. Why such a return, Kongo-oneesan look at me, but this is the answer of the mob protagonist. “……………… “I showed this reticence in words. Maybe Mii-chan will become a genius artist.
“You’re joking little brat.”
“Tentententen.”
Zephyrus looks at me with an astonished voice, but I’m not kidding. The player character is always silent. They rarely speak in games. It’s a game thing.
“Well, that’s good. Next time you see me, make sure you have decent equipment.”
The same thing has been said in games when the player is fully equipped. My goodness, Mii-chan’s eyes would twinkle with excitement at the thought of being told the same thing in real life. I feel as if I’ve stepped into the game.
“You think I’ll let you get away with it!”
Kongo-oneesan shields me behind her, her weapons at the ready and her voice full of confidence, but like a gentle breeze, Zephyrus brushes them off and laughs.
“Don’t get me wrong, okay? I’m going to run away because if I stay here any longer, I’ll get in trouble.”
“You can’t escape with that broken equipment.”
Tsubame draws her bow and makes a grim face, but I know. How troublesome Zephyrus is.
“Haha. Tell me what’s broken about it.”
[Release Anemoi’s Blessing]
Zephyrus mutters a word. Particles of light burst out of his body and scatter, signaling Zephyrus’ one word. When the light subsided, Kongo-oneesan looked astonished and stunned with her mouth open. No wonder she’s stunned.
“How is it? Are there scratches everywhere?”
Because Zephyrus had fully recovered. Anemoi too. Its crimson wings had been beautifully restored, and its massive green armor was now without a scratch.
“That’s too bad. What you guys are doing was pointless.”
Zephyrus laughs gleefully. Kongo-oneesan pallid, but that’s because she would be pallid if the enemy made a full recovery.
“Kongo-oneesan. I’m sure it’s a lie. It’s probably just an illusion or something.”
“Oh, yeah, I’m sure it is. Of course, it is!”
As if telling herself, she accepted Miu’s words and was inwardly relieved to see Kongo-oneesan and the others regain their will to fight, but I knew it was no illusion.
I remembered. The magic armor Anemoi incorporates the wings of the divine Anemoi. Anemoi’s wings are a Sacred Artefact and have a terrifying effect. They’re different from the Sacred Artefacts that seal the Demon God.
It flies at high speed in the sky and performs advanced aerial maneuvers. Neutralization of the wind attribute. Transfer magic for escape. And finally, Anemoi’s blessing.
Anemo’s blessing can create an alter ego with the same abilities and equipment as oneself. It can only be used once a day, but it’s extremely effective. And because it is a [Divine Blessing], [Magic Break], [Dispel Magic], and [Eraser] don’t even work. It’s truly magic.
The original author thought destroying everything with [Magic Break] would be a lame pattern. That’s true, considering the protagonist in the original story. Otherwise, the story would have been potentially boring.
He’s not like some shape-shifting woman. Moreover, Zephyrus was always using his alter ego as a shield to be able to use the [Wind Hidden Technique] Although his living body existed on top of his alter ego, he was treated as if he were in another dimension, and unless I defeated his alter ego, I could not inflict a single wound on it.
That’s the reason why the original author was pleased that Zephyrus was an easy-to-use character.
Even in the game, he was the only enemy character in the original story who recognized and involved the player. He’s like a character that comes back to life after you kill him. The management rubbed Zephyrus up the wrong way with glee.
And that’s why this guy recognized airborne players.
When I met him at the beginning of the game, he was bumped off because of his low level, but after a certain amount of damage, he would stop fighting as he does now.
I was betting on it. It was a bad bet, but it was the only way to survive. I wish Grandpa Odin had come along, but it didn’t look like he would.
“Well then. You’ve got that look in your eyes that Takano deserves. You have the same battle-hungry eyes I have. I look forward to seeing you next time.”
[Wind Teleport]
Zephyrus embraces Flora and uses the last ability of Wings of Anemoi, the magic of transfer. A storm of wind rolls out from Zephyrus, and I hold my hand to block it. And so, after the wind subsided, there wasn’t a shadow of Zephyrus and his friend.
“Zephyrus… I live peacefully.”
I declared, clenching my hands tightly. I don’t want to fight with Zephyrus. He’s a nuisance. I don’t think peace-loving Mii-chan will get involved anymore.
[Repulse Zephyros and his men!]
……… Come to think of it, you don’t have to kill the Zephyros to get experience and drop items. Well, there’s not going to be a next time. He can’t escape Grandpa Odin’s eyes. I’ll have to sneak out and collect the sacred artifacts. Mii-chan won’t be involved, but Grandpa and the others will be. I plan to show them what a real raid is.
Miu breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the group of warriors who had noticed the smoke from the mansion in the distance and were rushing toward them. But still, I’m tired~. Oh, I’ve reached level 50. Soloing is a huge experience.
