Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Episode 65: The Fear of Adrift

Me and Elena have been heading back since then.

Alf is in the midst of fighting that Minotaur anomaly by himself.

With the power of the two of us, I left because it's only gonna be a foot job... but it's too dangerous to fight anything alone.

We needed to correct the source of the anomaly and return to the front as soon as possible.

"Lord Rita, it looks like this is the deepest part.

"Well, there's something suspicious about this.

There was a monster like a mass of tentacles in the deepest room.

At the center of dozens of growing tentacles I see something like crystal.

The nearby magic was concentrated in its crystals through this tentacle.

I finally found it.

I'm sure this guy is the culprit who's tormenting Ashley, the weirdo in the woods.

"Elena, I'm gonna break your tentacles first.

"Understood!"

Elena cut into the tentacles on the right, and I struck the tentacles on the left with wind magic.

I was going to amputate it with range magic at once, but I couldn't cut a single one just with some scratches.

Elena's more inhibited by strange elasticity, and she still can't cut it.

"Physical invalidity, or strong resistance?

"The magic is tough, too. It works somewhat, but it seems to be resistant to this as well.

"Wet. We have to knock them out within the first minute.

"The logic is, if we can aggregate wind magic sharper, we're going to cut it...

Then for a while I tried many means but could not until disconnected.

Not even full power magic with chanting, Elena used her skills too, but she can't cut a single one.

If physics doesn't work, you won't even be able to fox yourself.

That's not good.

Fortunately, there is no danger because there is no attack from the target, but it is also not a reassuring situation.

If I don't find some effective means, I'm gonna do everything I can.

"Lord Rita. If wind magic gets sharper, is it going to cut it?

"Right. It's magic that works best so far, and then it's a matter of power.

"Can't you turn my sword into a magic sword, for example? If you attack with it. Or.

"Enchanted. Sure, on logic, yes.

Enchants who consume vast amounts of magic may be called last resort.

Unlike Alf, who can be deployed all the time, I don't have that much magic.

It would be better if it had a few minutes because it's magical and somewhat worn out.

"It won't be long, I can't move when it's empty.

"Try it if you have any other means, but do you have anything?

"... you don't. I guess I'll have to rely on the trump card already.

"It's a waste of time now. Let's give it a try.

Even now Ashley is lost in the abyss of death.

I can't afford to be spared.

"Let's go, knock it down if you can!

"Leave it to me, evil demon, taste my sword moves but good!

[True slaughter]

Elena attacked with skill.

She also stopped sparing and rolled out her mastery of major moves.

A blow all over your body released from your hipster position.

The sword combines my magic with Elena's skill.

A dozen tentacles blew up and danced in the sky, cutting off a few with a blade to return.

Success!

An unfamiliar scream sounds and the ground rocks.

The magic flow was also interrupted and I was convinced that I had found the right answer.

Trying to cut off the rest of the tentacles, a giant creature appeared from the ground.

______________________________________

Shit, you stupid bastard!

You're waving a boom axe out of my range!

I wouldn't even let you near Locke.

If you were Elena, you'd dive into your nostalgia and take a blow, but I don't have that kind of skill.

Just avoid the opponent's massive attack.

What's even worse is the magic barrier.

I tried to make a gap and magically attack it, but it all plays.

I want to launch a more magical attack, but I'm not a sweet enough enemy to give me that kind of room.

What's the matter? It's like it was a floating attack.

Exactly. Was Tyman impossible?

I've noticed it while it's happening.

He's not generating his own magic barrier.

It depends on the magic coming from somewhere else.

It's going to be a lot easier if we just turn down that supply.

What's his strategy?

It's that easy to find, sweetheart!

Well, if there is, it's best to knock down every magic barrier.

Whoa, suddenly he went in!

It takes the form of a bond.

Son of a bitch! Fucking power bastard!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I was cornered to the wall more and more as I stepped on the tarp.

I got caught in a gap distracted by magic.

Shit, there's no escape.

I got the shaken down axe straight from the front.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, wow, oh.

Oh?

What, all of a sudden there's some kind of disturbance in the magic flow?

You feel like the right half, specifically?

Mm-hmm.

GOOOOOOOO!!

I kicked him in the pebble at his feet and hit him in the face.

That's a brilliant clean hit on the opponent's eyeball!

Can you praise me for being clever?

I'm furiously rambling around to see how the current attack worked.

Ha-ha-ha, let's praise this demon king Alfred for letting us trick him.

But ever!

Fully encased with magic, he puts a blow on his right half.

Now I'm gonna bash you in screaming a cool name or something.

I couldn't do it well the last time.

This is the time to give Giraggilla a cool special...

Mm-hmm.

Mmmm, yoishaooooo!!

Zusha

Gwow on...

All right, evil is doomed.

Do you want to follow Rita and the others soon?

... No, it's not, 'cause there's no such thing as a move-name at last?

I'm not crying, I'm not crying at all.

I don't like being vulnerable to adrift at all.
