□ Dueling City West [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

"Well, the actors are all set, and the stage is set. Huh."

Franklin leaks a laugh at what's wrong so he can't stand it.

The guy now boards a pedestal monster that floats in the air.

Princess Elizabeth is down at Franklin's feet.

Also, the pedestal monster was wrapped in a visible barrier.

"Well, Mr. Ray! Pay attention to that!

Franklin said so, pointing to a point in the night sky.

There was a monster floating there with bat feathers on his single-eyed face.

"That's [Broadcast Eye]. Simply put, it's a monster for live streaming. The footage it sees, the sound it hears, is sent to the monster as the receiver, and the receiver role shows the footage it receives in the air as a 3D footage"

You mean live cameras?

"Right now, the footage that I saw is being shown in a hologram during Gideon. If it's functioning properly, starting with the Central Arena, all over Gideon... and then the Wang Capital will see the sight of this place."

"Why would you do that?

When I asked, Franklin stood one finger of his right hand laughing at Niyanya.

"The first reason. To give humans throughout the kingdom an idea of how things have changed. Without this kind of relay, they only have the result of losing without knowing the course of the journey. That's troublesome."

Franklin cut the words there,

"'Cause I want to break the heart of this country"

Sounds terribly pleasant, let's see.

"There's no point in falling into my surgery without the skill of those we rely on to make this dueling city look useless. You know what I mean? You died while you were asleep. There is no fear. So you need to open your eyes and make sure your neck is squeezed."

"... that would make sense, but the idea is to make me feel sick"

To that answer, Franklin laughs again.

"Kuha. Well, I'm not the one who needs this reason. So, second."

Franklin stands one finger on his left hand.

"To expose the people who have chased me so far."

Hey.

"Hahaha, no, no, no. If it all went according to plan, no one was supposed to be here. Hey. In the end there is a Kingsguard Knights here, and you. I can't wait to get in the way and get in the way. Plan A appointments are delayed. So, I'm not trying to make laughers all over the kingdom by exposing the crippling losers to so many obstacles."

"You, I knew you had a bad personality. And through the West Gate, it was a sweet prospect for no one to get in the way."

Besides, even as planned, there must have been someone who would have obstructed Franklin's plan.

"From that standing sign, Hugo goes through it, except for Master, right? Then Liliana and the others should have been here without me, right?

"............... no. Without you, she wouldn't have been here."

For some reason, the grin disappeared from Franklin when he told me that, and a sharp gaze of stabbing was directed at me.

But only for a few moments, another soon nibbled grin stuck to its face.

"Come on, let's get started. [RSK], the test is over."

The monster who was fighting Liliana and the others turned to me, skinning that word of Franklin.

That was a creepy monster the more I saw it.

Size is about the same as Gardranda.

But it doesn't look like any monster I've ever fought.

Ten thick tentacles are stretched from flesh-colored spheres with countless cracks that associate blue-black and internally bleeding skin.

"I fought a horror movie guy yesterday... but he's more of a nightmare"

It's vague but it's like stirring up fear... there's a creepy thing about this monster.

"Nah. Most importantly, I'm still easier to do than undead there. But Ray, you know what I mean?

I know.

I hope you came brave, but the situation is pretty bad.

If it weren't for the fighting at the West Gate, I would have been able to target the Combo of Counter Absorption and Vengeance. I can only hope this guy isn't as fiery as [Gardranda] or [Gozmaize] than he can be. '

The Purgatory Flame that I hit first didn't work either.

I can't even use Hell's Qi anymore than the Knights of Kingsguard people are falling around.

The Lilianas, who would be beyond me with their pure power as [Holy Knight], are being pushed, so even if I attack normally, my winning eyes are thin...... no, you can say I have almost none.

“That” cannot be used in this situation.

When this happens, the only way to settle it is, as usual, "It is for me to avenge it".

But......

…………

“Can I really use" Vengeance is on Me "?

"Ray?"

This is just a reckoning.

But it feels similar to what I've felt in the battle with the many powerful enemies so far.

From the monster in front of you branded [RSK] comes the chills that are unusual, along with the sight of a bad mood…

That's nothing like the worst opponent I've ever fought [Gozmaize].

If that combined undead hated all the living, the monster in front of him was like...

"Women and Gentlemen!"

Franklin raised his voice to cut off my thoughts.

He's [Broadcast Eye]... turning his face to the monster he said was for live streaming.

"Dear dueling cities and kingdoms who have seen this footage! Hajimemasite, or Hajimemasite, for the first time! [Archprofessor] Mr. Franklin. I've been showing you the climax of my game tonight, and well!

That's what Franklin said, a mobile device about thirty years ago from nostalgia...... took out a machine that resembled a smartphone.

"Here it is, a switch on a device! That device is nothing more than a monster liberation device planted throughout the dueling city!

"... ugh!

"This switch has a timer function, and in 652 seconds, it's a mechanism to transmit a wave that frees up all the monsters. Well!... some of them are flying free because of the brain muscles that attacked the junction in an attempt to leave the arena."

652 seconds?

"Liberation of all monsters!? Wait, then......!

Franklin answers with a stronger grin to Liliana with an acute look.

"Yes, five hundred monsters above the subdragon class, gushing out of roughly five hundred devices. That strikes dueling cities all at once. Hey. At first, we set ourselves not to attack anyone but the Master, but we don't hesitate to attack buildings. How much will this city break, huh?

You bastard......

Both his words and the way things are on this scene are being flushed by Gideon.

By showing the count of "time bombs placed beside ourselves," Franklin is stirring up fear.

"Well, this switch...... Poop"

Franklin says so and throws a switch to [RSK], which was right next to him.

Shortly afterwards, a flesh-colored sphere of [RSK] opened, as in the precipitation scene of Krione, and took the switch into it.

"In about 600 seconds the switch will emit a signal... the only way to stop the transmission is to defeat this [RSK]"

Franklin cut the words there...... fingered Liliana in overmotion.

"It is the Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard Knights [Saint Knights] Lord Grandria who challenges the battle! Kingsguard Knights # 3 [Saint Knight] Sir Lindos!

After pointing to the two of you,

"And! The only one who ever made it to this scene... [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling, it's you!

Also point that finger at me (...) again.

"Come on! Can the three [holy knights] defend the dueling city! Everything hangs on the shoulders of these three!

He did it with the intent to "expose him" intact and with excessive performances.

"So."

And he said one last word,

"- Why don't you complain about these three when the city's gone?

He added in a heartfelt delight.

"This guy has the worst personality!!"

I agree, but I can't afford to talk about that right now.

At the same time as Franklin's words, a flesh-colored monster sphere is taking action.

Countless cracks carved on the surface of the sphere.

They open up to decide and open the wounds simultaneously, emitting a dazzling light that pierces the eye from the inside.

It's like being able to constantly bathe the camera's flash, not very much, but I can't look directly at it.

"blind!?"

"Mr. Ray! The attack will come multiplying by this light!

Which is quicker than Liliana's advice. By then, [Silver] had already put me on board and was rushing out.

"Kuh!"

At the same time, something lands and explodes on the ground where I was.

It is a light bullet emitted in dazzling light.

As for power, it's more than three times the White Trans I've used in Gems several times.

But to that extent.

I missed avoiding it and ate one shot, but the impact isn't as good as the difference, and my HP is only about 10% less.

"If this is it!

"I can...?!

Yes, I can, I can.

After healing and accumulating damage while still being attacked, you can win by winning "Revenge is on me".

I can tell because I watched the battle with Liliana and the others farther away.

The opponent constantly deploys a barrier against physical attacks and also has a very high resistance to attacks and flames of Holy Attributes.

If I still have Revenge, which deals twice as much Fixed Damage as Accumulated Damage, I can do the damage without a problem.

That should do it. I should...

"Why..."

I guess I can't wipe out so much anxiety.

"Because in distress, your lord's mind falls upon you. Perhaps there is something in that ghetto. But"

Still, if I'm the only one with a hitter, I'll have to go for the settlement.

"Oh yeah, my barrier on this kid is now linked to [RSK], right? So to help the princess, [RSK] has to be defeated."

... right, right.

"You mean we have to do this now?"

"Oh... we're on our way!

"Answer!"

I let [Silver] run and face [RSK].

Always move, avoid your opponent's light bullets, or attack this one as you take them.

All attacks by the sword I unleashed are nullified by the barrier that deployed on his surface.

The same goes for Purgatory Fire.

Still, if we can find even one end of the power of this unknown monster, we will continue the attack of restraint.

At the same time, heal HP with healing magic skills and items.

Currently over 5,000 my HP height, endurance including The Holy Knight's Protection, and my opponent's lack of firepower.

Those elements overlap and accumulate damage well.

Yes, it's going well.

Even though things are going well...... I still feel uncomfortable.

……

"Nemesis?"

"The accumulated damage counter... what? No, definitely that one... '

"Nemesis"

'Oh, oh, I'm sorry. A little weird. "

A strange feeling would be accumulated damage.

The same was true when [Gozmaize], but Nemesis has the sensation of being able to perceive the damaged opponent.

"What do you mean, weird?

"Definitely accumulating damage from that [RSK] monster... which gives the impression of being“ scattered ""

Scattered?

"If you compare it to the Lord's world, it's like," It's like looking at a lentogen photograph of cancer cells metastasized all over your body. "

"... in your body?

But still, in the end, it doesn't make any difference that [RSK] is accumulating damage?

'Yes, you're right...'

The propaganda tells us that nemesis remembers anxiety in the senses of the unknown.

"... let's use it once"

I think it's still far from lethal damage.

"That's why. My thoughts and your senses, both of which tell me that's crazy. I'd rather be sure now than unexpected happening at the right time to decide on a battle"

'... I understand!

"Silver!"

Silver responds when I kick in the stomach and pull the reins at the same time, [RSK] and rushes out at once.

It scratches the rain of countless light bullets, and the distance between us and [RSK] is zero.

Wave the [Black Great Sword] with the intention of slashing off one of the toucharms.

And use it as a trump card for me and Nemesis.

"'-' I have my revenge!! '"

Revenge is on Me, which has defeated many enemies before.

First enemy, [Demidragworm].

Flaming and poisonous three-sided ghost, [Great Ghost Gardranda].

Crystal of Man's Death and Malice, [Grievance Cow Horse Gozmaize].

Defeat numerous powerful enemies and the skills we trust most.

The skill is now unleashed on the Unknown Monster [RSK] as well -

"Stupid......"

- "There was no slight scratch".

[Black Great Sword] did not bring any destruction just by slipping through the body surface of [RSK].

Immediately afterwards, a light bullet emitted from the crack of [RSK] hits us directly in an unprotected position.

A few rounds landing and sharpening my HP by more than 30%.

But that's not important.

"Why..."

"Vengeance is on me" is a skill that doubles the damage taken from opponents, ignoring all defenses and beating them back.

Never before has it not worked by letting go of the person who accumulated the damage.

But it didn't make any sense against this [RSK].

"- Oh, you look great."

Such an intoxicating voice reaches my ear.

"Franklin......!

That look on Franklin's face looking down at us.

That was also a laugh...... not a sticky nigga laugh until the last minute, but a heartfelt pleasure and no choice.

"Haha, you're stunned. You don't know why." Why? Why? Wasn't our Vengeance a special attack without the ineffective, Neme? What do you mean? Ray-kun, who became O-taken for glasses?

"... ugh!

You, that story...

"Oh, I'm surprised again. Nice. Nice."

The glasses crap he just talked about was what he talked about when it was just me and Nemesis after he broke up with Franklin, who named Flamingo.

That means he knows that...

"... you've planted something besides ears on that pill."

"You're right."

That's what Franklin says and takes a bottle of medicine out of his nostrils.

That's the same thing I drank yesterday.

"That pill I gave you. That was a cocktail of [Degraded All-purpose Psychotropic (Lesser Ericcil)] and [Chemomimi], though."

He opens the lid of it and zeroes it in his palm.

Then…….

"- Actually, it was served in addition to medicine."

In the palm of his hand, a gel-shaped object about the size of a beeball remained.

"This kid is [PSS (Peeping Spice Lime)]. Liquid, non-combatant, even a person's gastric digestibility disappears in about twenty-four hours. However, as long as it exists, keep sending me the status and skills information of the person you have taken, as well as the audio information you have spoken to."

Unexpectedly hold your mouth.

Even if I were to plant it, I would plant something better... and now I feel sick that I drank [slime].

"I already know everything in your hands.

Three skills of Nemesis.

[Gardranda, armor].

[Purple grudge walking armor gozmaize].

A real brilliant jade horse.

Your own skills, starting with "Holy Another Silver Light".

I also know about the tactics that can be picked. I know how to fight [Great Necromancer] maize and [Gozmaize]. "

That's all I can hold.

Was it all out of control?

"And this [RSK] corresponds to every ability you have"

"vs., responding...?

"Revenge is on me" doesn't work.

I won't give you a state abnormality.

Purgatory Fire doesn't work.

"Hell of a Qi" doesn't work.

"Holy Another Silver Light" doesn't work either.

If "Grand Cross" becomes available, it doesn't work.

You level it. Just an attack doesn't work either.

[RSK] is invincible and powerful against you. Yes, because… "

Franklin cuts words there and declares with a radiant grin.

"[RSK] is - [Ray (...) - Sterling (...) - Killer (...)] is a monster prepared“ just ”to defeat you"

"... to defeat me, to?

[Ray Sterling Killer]?

The monster you prepared just to take me down?

Franklin did?

Why?

"So what's the matter with you? You're definitely going to lose. It took a hundred million lil to make this [RSK], but hey. But you don't have a choice. Because money is what you spend to win."

"Why...?

Why is Franklin so serious about me?

Didn't I just meet you yesterday?

Or is it related to Hugo?

"Why? Yeah, that's weird. Wonder why I'm spending so much money on a much lower level opponent."

Franklin stopped laughing there.

And say.

"That's because I'm losing to you once (...)"

Those eyes were horribly serious and just pierced me.

"You, to me?

That's... when did that happen?

When my question was about to get the biggest, Franklin pointed at Liliana, who was attacking... [RSK] under his eyes.

"The plot to assassinate Liliana Grandria there. You shattered that plan I made, and you're the one who put in place the measures."

Liliana's assassination plot?

Me crushing?

That's......

"If it weren't for you, that bear man wouldn't have been there, and fifty [Demidragworms] had definitely tailored Liliana. You're the one who broke that plan and defeated me, Ray Sterling."

Bear Man - brother.

Fifty [Demidragworms] -.

- Then the glasses lady said, "If you have this one, you can go and get it"...

What I remember is what Migliane said then.

.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

You know what?

"I will not forgive anyone who loses me (...). I will not forgive anyone who bends me (...). So I will defeat you unnecessarily the second time by thoroughly working out measures. Don't ever stand in front of me again. So will you. [M] You lose here, you become the exposer of the whole kingdom. Yeah?

With a look and a voice that makes even madness smell, Franklin speaks out.

I see.

I see, I see.

You have anger and resentment against me, and I know exactly what caused it.

Yeah, I think I got it.

"I see why you set up measures against me."

- In short, you did that (...), didn't you?

"Hahaha, you seem to understand, don't you?

"Oh. And... I have to beat you up."

"... what?

Franklin looks at me with a strange face.

No? Nothing, not a single thing would be strange.

"Me, my kid... there's one thing I've been thinking about when Migliane got involved."

Yes, that's what I thought then.

He said, "Whoever punches a kid like this, he's gonna punch him in the face."

We didn't know who did it, and both Migliane and Liliana were safe.

So I was putting it up on the shelf... but I didn't forgive the guy who did that.

"So more than I know that bad guy is you... let me put it on before I drop it, Franklin"

…………

"I'll say it again"

I declare to Franklin, pointing my finger with my armor fitted.

- I'm gonna punch you in the face. Wash your neck, "

"Try it...... Beginner (Rookie)!

[RSK] moves between me and Franklin - I rush to my natural enemies.

To be continued
