Chapter 200.2. I’ll Beat Them!
-Miu’s POV-
Guillotine Stag Beetle’s legs are blown off. Mighty Lance Beetle’s horn was broken, while Fang Mantis had a huge diamond piercing its head. An armored Centipede has half of its body blown away.
“It’s just a scratch! With that level of damage, we can still fight against the monsters, so let’s not let our guard down and defeat them!”
“You monster!”
Shouting with determination, for some reason, old man Martini interjects with a retort, but they can still fight.
In the game, the attack power didn’t change until the HP reached zero. Many patterns involve becoming stronger when close to death.
I think even in reality, monsters have that much guts. Some start twitching and stop moving, but there shouldn’t be any ongoing damage.
“Well, well, it’s fine. Let’s think of it as a bonus. We still have loan payments to make.”
“That’s true. It can be quite a lucrative opportunity.”
“Hmm, there’s a banknote rolling around.”
For some reason, Kongou-neesan sighs with a tired expression. She must be getting tired from the atmosphere of the battlefield. Old man Martini and Tsubame-san start to shine with excitement.
“Please wait, everyone. The Undead Legion is approaching from the opposite side. Let’s leave the incapacitated insect army alone.”
“That’s right. The Undead Legion has twice the durability of regular monsters, so be careful.”
Yamiyo sweeps up her black hair and swings her sword, while Sena claps her gloves to signal caution. Sena doesn’t look like a saint, so she should have equipped something more elegant like a staff.
But she’s right. It’s probably the flow of the Insect Army, the Undead Legion, and Hill Giant]battle, Mii-chan thinks.
“They’re here!”
The Royal Guards who were wary of the opposite side raise their voices sharply, and everyone turns around, ignoring the insect army. It would be better to defeat the insect army, though.
For some reason, the logs showing increasing deaths begin to appear, so maybe the Diamond Breath had a continuous damage effect.
It’s my first time having Diamond Poyopoyo as a companion, so I don’t know its effect. Flavor text? I think it’s good to read it when in trouble. Flavor text?
From the opposite side, a creepy aura of dark darkness that is visible even to Mii-chan’s eyes emerges—the Undead Legion.
“Lich Knight?”
They appeared in an orderly formation. Human bones that exuded a more beautiful yet ominous glow than obsidian, adorned with golden magical armor, carrying powerful magic swords, staffs embedded with gems, and bows.
Some of them even rode on spectral ghost horses. There were also skeletons with particularly large sizes among them.
There must be around a thousand of them.
“I can feel an incredible amount of magical power from this army… It sends shivers down my spine!”
Tamamo trembles as she gets hit by the dangerous aura of darkness emanating from the group.
“Every one of them is enveloped in tremendous magical power!”
The Royal Guards, who can discern the enemy’s magical power, raise their voices in agitation and fear.
Yamiyo, Sena, and Kongou-neesan also pale.
Of course, Mii-chan’s mouth trembles in fear as well. She had heard of the Undead Legion but didn’t expect them to be like this. It’s far beyond what she imagined.
“This army… Could it be…”
Sena mutters with a stern expression.
It seems like she recognizes them. I understand, I understand.
Mii-chan remembers them too.
As everyone faces the Undead Legion with a mix of fear, awe, and excitement, someone with an even stronger aura of darkness, slightly levitating from the ground, appears smoothly.
“This is… Heavy Overlap… There’s no escape if it turns into a wasteland.”
They wear a golden robe with silver thread designs and have large gemstones embedded in their hem and chest. It’s impossible to determine if they are male or female.
That’s because they were made of human bones. Slightly decayed muscle fibers cling to the pure white bones. The eye sockets of the skull beneath the hood contain a pale blue flame, and cold air emanates from its bone and tooth-filled mouth.
With a glint in their pale blue fiery eyes, they clatter their teeth and flip their robe, declaring with an imposing demeanor.
“I’m Nidhogg Aegir, the Elder Lich with eternal life and profound wisdom.”
As soon as the declaration is made, a sinister aura erupts from their body, turning into a gust of wind.
Holding down her fluttering hair due to the wind, Mii-chan looks at Aegir, who is clattering its teeth in amusement, as they raise a small lead-colored box in front of them as if showing it off.
“Let me test the power of Crowley’s Box. You should be grateful and cry in gratitude. You will become my experimental subjects!”
Seeing the box held by Aegir, Mii-chan clicks her tongue.
It’s one of the 6 Sacred Artifacts that seal the Demon God, Crowley’s Box.
For some reason, Aegir had stolen it before the original story started. Damn it, someone must have revealed the location of the Sacred Artifacts. Probably a reincarnator.
Well, whatever. I have to defeat Aegir here and retrieve Crowley’s Box. In a sense, it’s lucky!
“Kukuku, this Undead Legion is composed of A-class monsters.”
“Poyorin, mow them down!”
[Diamond Breath]
While Aegir tries to say something, Mii-chan launches a preemptive attack.
Aurora beams are fired from Poyorin, heading toward Lich Knight. And thus, amidst a big explosion and a flash of light, the battle begins.
