Episode 77: The Armor and Crimson of the Deceased
Dance hall directly above the dining room.
It is spacious and highly built, and only this place has two tiers of resources allocated to it.
A giant armor that jumped as he ran waves his sword down to Noel.
Noel, pointing his sword at him, puts up a cane in an attempt to intercept him, but he can clearly see losing power.
"Huh...?
Just before the sword arrives, Sylvia runs through the dance hall and leaves.
A sword pierces where Noel stood. I see a hole in the floor when it is pulled out in slow motion.
Crimson armor stares at the six people surrounding themselves in turn.
A well-intentioned, cavalier-like, deceased armor (living armor) identifies the most threatening person.
"Me?"
He was setting a goal for me once, when he succeeded in blowing it up.
"Hey, who is he?
Ira asks, who helped me where I was blown away.
"The Deceased's Armor (Living Armor)/Crimson. He must be an evolved demon, too. It's just that you've evolved like a herant or a snow elf to get more power than a boss."
The demon, who was originally the boss, gained further power.
The same is true of being purely stronger, but it was more of a problem to have been freed by being in a runaway state.
"He knew we were gonna show up here and he got ahead of us."
"How is it possible to get ahead?
"This is the only starting point for this hierarchy. If you're a living demon in a labyrinth, it wouldn't be strange to know what kind of behavior an adventurer does."
There is also intelligence aimed at places that have just metastasized and have not been able to grasp the situation.
A knight-like standing crimson erects a sword.
"- Coming!"
Crimson accelerating at once.
A sword goes through my feet when I jump with Ira next door.
Gah, gah, gah!
A slash released from the tip of the sword slashes and tears down one wall after another that was behind it.
"Ira!"
Throw the Ira you were holding up.
"I knew it!"
Ira, who is in the air and should be easy to slay, is blind to me, putting back the sword she has shaken off and sticking out her sword towards me.
Crimson's target is on me.
Then there's more to be done than avoided.
Strike your own divine sword to the sword of the shaken Crimson.
"What, so..."
A divine sword capable of slashing all things.
The blade was pushed, but Crimson's sword is trying to push by force.
"... you mean that!
[Appraisal] was used on the sword to find out.
That sword is packed with tons of dead spirits. It is slashing and extinguishing the Necromancer from one end, but it prevents the new Necromancer from being used as a shield and the sword being slashed.
Shit. Crimson's status is unusually high. There are some signs that I'm not supposed to be able to reach them, but they're gonna push me off. If you keep taking it like this, it could get stuck.
"... bad. There's six of us fighting this way."
When Ira lands over her head, she slashes from behind to Crimson.
Furthermore, Illis and Noel are simultaneously attacking from all sides by slashing from left to right.
"Hard......!
"... is going to be pushed back"
"I can't even freeze it"
Not even a simultaneous attack by Ira, Noel, or Illis.
Iris seems to be pouring in cold air at the same time as he's about to be slashed, but his armor doesn't freeze.
Not only is it physically resistant, it is also highly resistant to magic.
"... how many souls did you eat"
Skeleton Road I've fought before. Arre also succeeded in becoming stronger by eating the souls of others.
The level is lower for Crimson. Even though I said so, the status was higher for Crimson.
"Difference in the nature of the soul eaten"
Skeleton Road had eaten the souls of ordinary people as well. As a result, the quality was lower than the number of souls eaten.
But Crimson fed on the vast number of grudges in the bereaved halls of the dead. Plus an adventurer who stepped into the labyrinth. Each strength cannot be compared to Skeleton Road.
"But it doesn't change being undead."
[Blessed Hammer (Blessing Sake Rid Hammer)].
The holy light emitted from the magic formation is pushed against the Crimson, and vision is taken away by the light.
The most powerful magic of all against the undead. Magic that allows you to extrude and purify the soul that is imprisoned by the undead by tapping into the undead the light that contains the holy magic.
The four of us, who had been taught to use magic beforehand, jump backwards aggressively.
If this magic...
"Ugh!?
A black sword protrudes from beyond the bright white light.
Protect your chest with a sword to rely only on signs and provide minimal defense in a situation that is depriving you of your vision.
"... Huh!
A sword protruded precisely to the point where the heart is located strikes directly at the divine sword.
When I was blown backwards with the Divine Sword I was doing like a shield, Sylvia caught me this time just before I was slapped on the wall and helped me.
"That bastard......"
Crimson walks out flat in the bright white light.
"Shh..."
I can't believe the sight. Melissa's out of her power.
The white light also disappears when the magic poured out for the [Blessed Hammer (Blessing Seiklid Hammer)] has been exhausted.
Armor with high physical and magical resistance.
Besides, you can't be attacked because you're highly aggressive.
"Everybody, listen."
Don't speak up. Tell it in a nutshell.
- Let's get out of here.
That's my conclusion about Crimson.
But I don't think you're gonna let me get away with it.
"Someone's got to stay."
"No, the opposite would be better."
Melissa disagrees with the Iris proposal.
I want to choose to keep everyone alive, even if there were someone left behind.
'The four of us will stay. Mr. Sylvia, please accompany the Lord in case an enemy shows up that doesn't appear on the map.'
"Okay."
If you look at the map, you can also find out where the transfer magic team and enemies are to go to the next level. However, exceptions exist, although rarely. Sylvia's presence is imperative when exploring unknown places because Sylvia's power will be needed for such a presence.
And I have to move on,
"Please, I..."
You realize this one's willing to escape. Crimson sticks his sword in his hand.
"Your opponent is us."
Ira's kick was pierced and turned against Crimson's jaw.
A reward for the icicles and magic bullets that let you bathe there. I don't know if it's damaged, but Crimson's legs stopped on the attack that lasted forever.
I'll leave this one to them to move on.
"It's time."
Attack the 52nd floor from the dance hall on the 52nd floor, and step on the 53rd floor for a transfer magic formation that hits the 54th floor entrance.
Thanks to the map, the shortest distance was known, and there was guidance on Sylvia to minimize contact with demons.
Two-tier move since then. I would have gone far enough.
"Will everyone be all right"
We try to avoid talking in battle with powerful enemies because they can be dangerous.
I don't know what's going on over there. Still, I want to believe you're safe from feeling connected to everyone.
"If you call it out, you'll see."
[Summons] to summon the four remaining in the foothold.
The four men who appeared above the magic formation all suffered slaughtered wounds, but none even received fatal injuries.
Are you all right?
"You're not safe. 'Cause I'm so worn out of clothes."
Ira is complaining.
The most damaging Melissa sits up, and I guess the most troublesome of the four was targeted because it was Melissa who could use the power of [Holy], a weakness for the undead.
I want to give him a break because he was left behind.
"I'm sorry, but let's get some rest before we go any further"
Crimson must be heading this way with no more enemies from that spot.
"You should think our place is known."
It is known from the first successful ambush to the timing of the journey.
You should be able to find out in some way what your current location is.
"We're just gonna get out of here."
"You have no choice."
Give Melissa a hand and get her up.
At that time, the armor placed in the corner of the room moves out and makes a noise. A line runs on the armor like a blood vessel as it slowly stands to block the entrance to the room, and as it gradually thickens, the entire armor stains bright red.
"No way......"
Nature and such words leaked.
If you noticed, the armor that was only a normal "living armor" had changed to "living armor/crimson".
