Episode 131: Battle of Goma Castle
"If you're gonna sneak in, it's me from 'Bandit' after all!
"Yeah, it's the only thing Miwa can do. But don't just push it. Even without a harvest, it's best to come back safely."
The downward examination of Goma's castle was almost left to Mr. Natsukawa. First, I want you to explore the infiltration route as best you can.
Fortunately, there was also a fairy square near Goma Castle, so it's a good idea to hide yourself. It's a ruins building with Fairy Square right next to our town, but Goma, the demon, obviously walks by avoiding this neighborhood. If they don't see us coming in and out, they won't attack us.
There was not much we could do here in the square, mainly because Natsukawa-san was waiting for information. At best, enough to be ready to jump out and go at any time so that Natsukawa-san can cover his withdrawal at times of need. If you need anything, I can call you on my smartphone. When you have the means to contact me, it calms your mind somewhat.
Thus, it took about two days to put in the exploration, and finally the time came for a decision.
"The tent town is easy to get out of because there's only a watch around the castle at night"
The town of Tent, a residential area of general Goma, is quite large, but as Natsukawa investigated, at night they all sleep well, so it's not hard to get through without anyone finding them.
Just in case, he also wrapped a large borough cloth instead of a cape, which is also used in the tent to discreetly. Of course, it was Natsukawa-san who choked this cloth. Boulders are bandits.
Lurk your breath and slowly move on to Goma's settlement. It's a goma that runs a primitive life, so there's no lights at night. Only the central Pyramid Castle is lit with brilliant bonfires and a security system laid even at night.
I didn't have as much difficulty progressing through the darkness at night as I did with the moonlight alone, thanks to my vocation. Natsukawa from "Bandit" is obviously getting a good night's eye, but me and Tomorrow, and Twin Leaves are pretty good too. On the other hand, the magician-class chairman and cherry blossoms were still not so much, and even to Mr. Little Bird Play, they were still like regular people.
The chairman of the committee pulled his hand and walked away, Mr. Bird Play made a noise, poking at things he didn't know if they were garbage or tools scattered around the tent on several occasions... Apparently, Goma and the others slept deeply and didn't have to find them.
"Guys, it's the real deal from here! When you infiltrate a castle, it's more of a speed battle than you'll ever find again!
Through Tent Town, he finally comes to the center where the castle is located, and Natsukawa declares in advance. Around the castle, high in differences from other settlements, it is enclosed in a circle by a fence made of large trees, several of which stand.
They are all Gove's elite soldiers. He stands in pairs and looks around. If the lights were on in 'The Light Spirit (Lux Elemental)' as we were going through Tent Town, they would have found us in one shot.
However, Natsukawa's skilful route choice of even knowing the gaze of surveillance led us to the point where the fence was built safely.
"I'll bring down the soldiers up there. The fence's tomorrow, please."
"Oh, I'll take care of it"
"Well, then, if you count thirty, go in."
Leaving that behind, Natsukawa-san climbed the vertical wooden fence without sound with great momentum. Thirty seconds away, Mr. Natsukawa gets in to the "built-up" right above here and finishes off two archer Gov.
In the meantime, tomorrow, that'll smash the fence and open the way in.
By the way, I decided in the junket which one of us would cut the fence tomorrow. I lost, so I gave up the opportunity to be active.
"- Sick!
It's not martial arts, it's just slaughter. But tomorrow that waving 'Clean Tail Knife' nicely chopped up the Round Tail fence, letting people open as much space as they could get through beautifully.
"Brilliant, tomorrow that"
"Well, with the power now, even iron can be torn apart. To this extent, there is no wax."
Though I'll tell you what, he seems a little complimented and happy. I know, I'd definitely look like a doorman if I did this, too.
"- Hey, come on, hurry to the entrance over there!
Like a ninja, Natsukawa, who stepped down from above Sta, immediately starts running.
"Guys, let's go!
The guards have yet to find him in shame for eliminating the guards' watch and infiltrating him from a different location than the original gate.
There's no shield, we just have to push through the spot illuminated by the bonfire, but right now, at this moment, we might be able to slip into the castle without finding it. Hurry up, then, so that we don't have any footsteps, we run in a row.
"Yikes!?
You were too nervous, Mr. Little Bird Play fell halfway down the road. Screams from the impact of a fall and the sound of a fall echo on a quiet night.
"Buguerra, uggo, veaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Moments, the voices of deaf goma rise eagerly. We didn't have to think about it, we were found.
"Shit, guys, hurry up!
"Oh, uhh... oh, sorry no..."
"Apologize later, let's go, birdie!
That picks up the little birdplay with tears already tomorrow, and he makes a fierce dash to the entrance. All we had to do was run out of sickness, saying there was no point in turning off our footsteps anymore.
"Gevaaaaaa!"
"Wogaaaaaa!"
Soon the soldiers of Goma and Gov. flew away, but succeeded in slipping into the entrance to the castle in a critical manner.
"I asked, committee chairman!
"Okay, you're all in -" Frozen Wall (Eyes Woldefan) ""
Block the entrance passage with intermediate defensive magic of the Ice Attribute unleashed by the Chairman. Thick ice walls double triple to completely fill the aisle.
All right, now the guys outside can't come in for a while.
"Sounds like I have a Goma boss ahead of me, but I've never moved on from here either, so I don't know what it is. Guys, be careful!
Nor has Natsukawa, the boulder, been able to examine everything in the castle. Still, it was enough to poke me that the staircase leading to the top floor ceiling was only from the inside.
We continue down the passageway, supposedly leading to the inner center of the pyramid, slashing and laying on guards blocked on the way.
Thus, he finally went out into the large open space.
"Gubbub, Bohahahahaha!
There, obviously, Goma's boss... was it definitely called 'Gogma'? There was such a big guy.
He's about three meters tall, and he's in sumo wrestling shape. He has an even more fierce face than Gov. on a twisted corner growing from his head.
In a hand as wild as Marutai, he holds a weapon of a size commensurate with his gigantic body. Due to the large double-edged sword, but the prominent green treasure balls on the patterned area, it is presumably a magical weapon, using the magic of the wind attribute.
But the biggest problem is that there are as many as four gogmas in this hall that are supposed to be this boss...
"Abru, Zeba, Bluhhhhhhhhh!
No, the real boss, he was in the back.
Even bigger, it boasts height and physique compared to four gogmas. Plus, not only is it big, but the eyes are one, two big horns like a bull. I have the impression that they combined cyclops and minotaurs that come out of the game or something like that, but they had other more prominent features. That's because he has four arms.
Each of the four arms holds a sword, an axe, a hammer, and a magic wand.
"I'll stop those four arms. In the meantime, everyone take down the other four bodies as soon as possible."
The chairman's ice wall has blocked his own exit. You can't leave. Whatever enemies show up, we have nothing better to do than move on here.
"Okay, brother."
"That's the only way."
Four large boss gogmas with four arms, four gogmas stained with the Four Heavens King. While in front of the mighty enemies that would strike in unprecedented numbers, everyone was instantly ready to set up their weapons.
"All right, let's go!
There doesn't seem to be any room for that. From the start, let me go with everything I can!
Thus began the showdown of Goma Castle.
"-" The Holy Sword of Light (Cross Caliber) "Huh!
"Bwwwwwwwwwwww!
The blade of brilliant white light lets the four-armed gogma cast out with suspicion, the sword of the wind, the trembling hammer, and the scorching axe, all of which are received directly from the front and bounced.
The overwhelming difference in stature can be a difference in power, with four arms still quadrupled. Normally, I wouldn't even be able to meet Locke, he'd just smash me gently, but I'd cross with just one of these swords of light.
Yes, now I'm just finally fighting my boss on an equal footing with the help of The Holy Sword of Light (Cross Caliber). One by one, I'm being pushed more than the other.
He's got his gigantic body, his four arms, and, besides, each weapon, well used. Though there is no such thing as mastery, they wield their weapons to the fullest, exercising some martial arts and magic.
On the other hand, I'm still only a long way from using the Sacred Sword of Light (Cross Caliber). I'm worse off than the power that deals with it just because I have the same power as my opponent.
No, just cut from the front, I can't push it off.
"Bra dabra digora - ziglazdoh!
From the cane held in the fourth arm, a thunderbolt shines in Russia. Goma with no meaning, but obviously with a magical chant-like melody. Not only does he rely on magical weapons, but he is also a magician who has repaired the magic of the Goma stream.
Once I'm out of his way, he persists in his pursuit with the magic of thunder to avoid allowing me to rest. I somehow avoid or prevent bursts and many thunder from hitting me like a whip from the purple ove shining on the tip of my wand... but I'm not sure how long it will last either.
"Knock... strong..."
Perhaps the strength shouldn't be so much different from the living room armor boss who has been complete in the palace area. But it's still bad minutes if it's a one-on-one head-on.
This is my limit now - toothpicking creates a rush, but I'm not even sweet enough to shake my mind with this much disadvantage.
Now is not the time to make it impossible. It's time to endure. Yes, I'm not alone. Believe your people, if you keep stopping the onslaught on him, that's fine!
"I said, no, we can't lose!
"Mugaaaaaa!"
With a steel heart that believed in my people, I kept waving the sword of light.
Yodo, who waves the sword of light with the big boss of the four arms, continues his stormy fierce offense in the middle of the great hall. This place boasts a spacious area, even if more than three meters tall gogmas are rampaging around. If it were just size, there would be as many baseball domes as there are.
In its vast hall, each had a scattered and fierce battle.
"-!? Big magic is coming! Be careful!
In response to the cry of the little bird, Sakura and Ryoko quickly step into exercising their defensive magic.
"-" The Ice Shield (Eyes Almasild) ""
"-" Shining Wall (Lux Woldefan) ""
On an instantly poking wall of ice, a curtain of white, shining light - shortly after, a tornado of flames arrives with a roaring roar. Like a slow lick, the scorching vortex wields defensive magic in a horizontal twist, instantly spraying the glow of protection and melting the freezing ice wall.
"That was critical."
"Bird, are you all right?
"Yes, I'm fine!
Almost destroyed the defensive magic that let it unfold, but managed to outmaneuver the flaming tornado attack. The large grain of sweat flowing through the foreheads of the three would not be the only reason they were stirred up by the hot air.
Think of it, this was the first time that both Sakura and Ryoko had magically fought head-on against an Orthodox sorcerer. Fire spraying demons are not uncommon, but the enemies who mumble chants, wave wands and unleash magic in this dungeon are very limited.
A rare example of this is the Gogma Flame Mage, whose two are now, no, relative in three, including a little bird.
The mage Gogma, wielding a sceptre-like wand of bright red coloring and releasing one scorching flame after another, surpasses Cerberus' flame radiation if only for its firepower. In addition, there are many different shapes of flames that emit, although they deal with flame magic. It can be an exploding fireball, or a fire arrow that can be sharp and multiple rounds. Alternatively, it could be a tornado of flames, as I have now barely prevented.
This one, though the two sorcerers, will be instantly incapable of combat if even one fire arrow hits them directly. In contrast, even though Gogma is in the sorcerer class, his giant body is as stubborn as it looks. I've already gotten a bunch of "Light Arrows (Lux Sagitta)" and "Ice Arrows (Eyes Sagitta)" on me, and I'm bleeding and burning hard, but I can't see how it's working.
Just so you know, if this one unleashes more than intermediate attack magic, the other one also perceives danger and guards it with defensive magic. Its deployment speed and timing make you feel used to these magical matches. As a magician, his experience in simply magical combat also seemed to be above him.
Both the cherry blossoms and the chairman of the committee naturally lack decision-makers before the firepower and defense of the gogma. Normally, we almost lost the competition, but the current situation is that the 'Sage' bird manages to outsmart them because 'Magic Analysis' reads them one step ahead of the other's magic exercise.
A little bird gives you the information you need to attack and defend you. In addition, he sees gaps and sees that Gogma tries to cover his allies, and he manages to prevent them from shooting back at Yodo.
"It's not as bright as this..."
"But cherry blossoms are just healing magic to follow, it would still be better"
The only thing this one wins is the healing magic exercised by cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms are amateurs at magic battles between magicians, but swordsmen like Yudo and tomorrow are often familiar with battles, and I have some knowledge of swordsmanship. Thanks to that experience, at the right time here, I have succeeded only in putting on a "healing glow (healing light)" at the very least to Yodo, who is playing a fierce battle with his boss.
But then, we'll be waiting for rescue.
"Now we are. Then just stop him. We just have to get Miwa and Tomorrow to open a breakthrough."
Regrettably, no matter how much we raise, we can't have any more follow-ups on our side, and the three of us are unlikely to defeat this gogma or fulfill it.
"You have to believe..."
While biting into his own immaturity and lack of power, he could only entrust the cherry blossoms with a glimmer of hope and apply a 'healing glow (healing light)' to that and Miwa tomorrow, where he plays a fierce battle next door.
"Wow, that hurt...... not!?
"Cherry blossom healing? You picked up your life, Natsukawa."
"Thanks - cherry blossoms!
Miwa Natsugawa seems surprisingly energetic and spare, but if I didn't force myself to maintain this tension, my heart would have broken. Though it was good because Cherry Blossom's "Healing Glow (Healing Light)" was in time, just now, the blow Miwa took was such a hand wound that it would be difficult to continue the fight.
"Foga! Mugo, ugly!
What Miwa and those two are dealing with tomorrow is a swordsman Gogma, with a sword full of wind magic, exactly the same sword held by a four-armed boss. Its speed is phenomenal, even though it boasts a gigantic body as long as three metres on top of its body shape like a mighty man. The combined moves of slashing carried out with overwhelming power and 'Wind Blade (Yale Sagitta)', unleashed by the magic of the wind, hunt down Miwa and that tomorrow.
"Still, he's a sturdy guy"
"Ugh, he's not down yet."
Two avant-gardes, dealing with one enemy. It is here that we find ourselves in the most privileged situation in the battle currently taking place in this hall.
Swordsman Gogma is a powerful enemy, but cherry blossoms do healing magic at times of need, and even a little bird screamed and told me about the wind magic that the enemy's sword hosts. Careful of the enemy's special attack, which is to wipe them out with a giant blade of wind, the two attack resolutely.
Miwa carved it with a "Wild Banded Knife," and "Shocker Bolt," which has profoundly poked it in the back, still emits electric shocks and even feeds on the poison planted in "Sea Devil's Water Flow Whip".
Tomorrow that will cleave, pierce and bleed even deeper with "Clean Tail" and burn with "Flame Red Sabel".
In the wake of the two onslaught, the swordsman Gogma's flesh is eroded by poison and paralysis and his motor ability is definitely diminished, with countless cuts to his body and even a large spread of black-burned burns. It doesn't look like anything else...
"Buga, Bugo, Vungaaaaaaaaaa!
At all, the momentum of the attack will not diminish. Instead, every time blood spills, it seems to be heating up with anger and excitement.
Now, they're not entirely insane, either, around only being able to prevent attacks on the head and other steep points.
"First of all, he says we have to knock him down quickly and open a breakthrough..."
"Oh, perseverance! Fall down quickly, Yikes!
While I'm in a hurry for time to go, the two of them have nothing better to offer than to keep cutting even the raging gogma around.
As soon as possible, we need to defeat the enemy in front of us and help our people, Yodo - yes, everyone who fights here thought. Fight a mighty enemy and unprecedented disadvantage with the opponent in front of you.
Cherry blossoms, the chairman of the committee, that tomorrow, Miwa, and even Yodo couldn't afford to look anywhere else in the eye. Therefore, no one notices.
The big boss with four arms is Yudo. Mage Gogma has cherry blossoms, committee chairman and little birds. Swordsman Gogma has a combination of Miwa and tomorrow.
But there are still two more gogmas waiting in this hall.
He that hath a hammer, and he that hath an axe. Even he's an antagonistic member of the other party. Intrude into some battle, either one of them alone, and the battlefield will be overshadowed immediately.
But still every member keeps playing each other's battles against their enemies.
Then where did the two hammers and axes disappear?
No, it didn't disappear. They're fighting, too.
In the great hall where the fierce battle was waged, in the corner, the "Mad Warrior" Bileaf Bud Costume, alone, was dealing with two hammers and an axe gogma at the same time.
"Why... ha..."
I ran out of breath on the boulder.
With a streak of wins here, Living Armor fell into the category of strong enemies, but didn't even struggle thanks to powerful party members.
But now I'm dealing with two Gogmas at the same time with comparable power to the boss monster in one piece, alone who can't want any protection from anyone.
Cherry blossom healing magic has never even flown. No matter how "Mad Warrior" they were, the struggle was an inevitable trail of mighty enemies.
"I wonder if this has happened since the armored bear"
At the risk of his life, the last time he experienced a critical battle to win or not, he would be fighting an armored bear he encountered just before joining the Aoshi Cherry Blossoms.
"Ha... Kotaro, I wonder what you're doing now..."
If you relax even for a moment, all you remember is him. Just thinking about it, my chest is full, and I'm about to cry with anxiety and fear right away.
In a nutshell, emotional instability. It's so clear to me and so seriously injured that I can feel that way.
Despite being in the midst of a battle, the bud costume that swings to his emotions in that way is a shepherd's face as if he hadn't noticed the sole, even in front of the murder weapon that is rolled out with intent to kill.
"Wogga!"
I would have thought a gogma waving a burning axe that killed him for sure.
But by a black shield that moved to slip in on the verge of a direct hit, the blow of his body is bounced. No, it's recirculated. Direct trajectories were deflected as slippery as sulli, and the blade of a magical axe wrapped around a burning flame ended up just slamming the stone floor vainly.
"Mugaaaaaaaaaa!"
A giant hammerhead with the ability to grind all the things touched by super tremors strikes the budding garments so that the other blow fills the gap that cut the sky.
"Hmm!
Against is the pitch-black Halvard. It's a long weapon with a rather large blade for humans to hold, but it looks much thinner and smaller than a hammer built to match the body of a gogma.
However, Halvard, whose bud garments grip with one arm, meets head-on with the hammer that Gogma wields with both hands, bouncing and deviating.
We live there not only because of the power of the Mad Warrior, but also because of the inclusion of the martial arts' Shock and Shock ', which boasts tremor abilities as well as hammers.
"Phew, ha..."
"Bugle......"
"Mgug......"
Strong, both bud costumes, hammers and axe gogmas, everyone thought. This one-sided, seemingly one-on-one war situation, but in a state of virtual, unlimited antagonism.
As a 'Mad Warrior', Meiko boasts some of the best skills in Yodo's party. I'm not willing to brag, but I was still confident in the power, and I'm sure Shoko thought that was the biggest weapon.
Heavy and powerful enemies that cannot be overwhelmed with their power are this gogma.
But from the Gogma, while human in size, the budding garments, which boast exactly the same power as ourselves, were honestly powerful enemies to remember the threat. If I fought one-on-one, I would have been pushed not far away by her power alone and lost, which tells me that when it comes to combat, there is a good idea.
It even seemed good to be able to deal with a horribly heavy, strong human woman with this menacing arm. Fighting elsewhere seems to be advancing to dominance everywhere, and will always be settled within close proximity. Ultimately, we can all deal with her. It would be easy to win if the boulder had so many different people.
Wonder, Yuda The thoughts of human and demonic Goma and the others were exactly the same.
"If it's the same as then, can I use it -"
I can be hunted down. In order to break it, I needed a stronger force than I do now, even temporarily.
Meizuko solidifies his resolve as he mounts a fierce attack. I'm not scared. Instead, I even feel the joy of my heart being at ease.
Because Sole is the only thing that Kotaro has given me, which has already been left in my current bud costume.
"- Kotaro, give me a hand!
A small leather bag with an instant gap and pulled out of your pocket. White powder inside, still about half packed.
Used, this too, since the battle against armored bears.
Yes, Meizuko decided to use Goma's drug, "Reagent X", which Kotaro gave him for a time of need.
