Kuro no Maou

My "Charged Particle Cannon (Plasma Blaster)" shot and smashed the "Advanced Ice Elemental Spirit (Eyes High Elemental)" brilliantly. No less than Lily's real beam, the purple electric runoff pierces a light whale-shaped torso. On the contrary, it instantly evaporated and wiped out the frozen giant.

I'm pretty sure it was more flashy offensive magic than any of this in what I showed the two of them. I myself, even a special bullet pear made out of my fateful Slowsgill finger, didn't think it would be as powerful as this.

A great success as a trial shot - but it is.

"Mr. Chrono, I know you can shoot a little flashy attack magic and float, but I wonder what it's like to be bothered around you"

"Yes, excuse me"

I sat right on the snow, nagging.

"What would you do if there were people down there?"

"I was on track, reflecting deeply"

It was something I could tell by thinking about it for a second.

Overkill the brittle snow whale, the Charged Particle Cannon (Plasma Blaster) naturally bursts with remaining power into this silver earth. A big explosion that winds up, a hot breeze. And the next thing that happened was an avalanche.

Ah!? It's too late when I thought. The snowfield, reminiscent of a quiet lake surface, moves into great waves as it roars with dodo. Even more intense than when the whale giant popped out, the snowflakes erupted bright white, and followed gravity to the foothills to flow.

Of course, there can be no such thing as stopping the great wave of fury created by that nature.

Wow, I did it. Suddenly, I could only watch a powerful avalanche go wild.

And it begins, Fiona's sermon. My tension is plummeting. This is what Ischian hero, rank 5 adventurer looks like. Can I cry about it?

"But you don't have to worry so much about it because it's common for you to generate avalanches in snow mountain dungeons. I don't care if I'm solo."

Scattered, annoying to people. At the end of the conversation about the manners of adventurers, Fiona says it all the time.

"You don't care!?

"'Cause I'm just a little bad at magic control."

Instead of snowy mountain avalanches, Fiona boasts that cliff collapses and landslides have been caused by major explosions of all man-made disaster-class nuisances in mountain dungeons, caves and ruins systems, etc.

"Now is the time, let me dare say it. Then nobody's gonna throw a party."

"Yeah, that's why I'm still taking care of things."

The same goes for party dangers, but naturally some blame will arise from the Alliance if colleagues and ordinary people who caused the damage continue to do so as a result of the nuisance they caused. Worst of all, there can be an adventurer disqualification along with the guild card, or an immediate death combo to the pig box or truncator as it is.

"We've sold our names, too, so we might have to be more careful than ever."

Reflecting again, we resumed our snowy mountain march.

By the way, monsters of the Elemental Spirit (Elemental) system are not gold when defeated. If you defeat it, it will disappear like Xia, that is, because there is no area that is a testament to the crusade.

If you become an Advanced Elemental Spirit (High Elemental), they will produce magic crystals like the nucleus (core) of the slime, but it will be impossible to recover them from the whale you defeated this time. It would have been wiped out by the power of a charged particle cannon, or it would have been flushed by an avalanche, even if it remained.

Instead of having anything to gain, I exposed myself to a level of apathy that preached, but still tried and shot, so let's just say it worked. That's the thing, keep it.

From then on, well, in the sense of proceeding with the dungeon, it went well. There is nothing irregular about the monsters that emerge, and of course, there is no struggle.

The snowmen of the Ice Elemental Spirit (Eyes Elemental) slipped through magnificently, the snowy mountain-specified Dortos subspecies sank into Lily's ray-intensive fire, and the white-haired Harpy who ambushed from the sky was turned into a grilled chicken by Fiona.

Something happened when a flock of white pumps showed up when Lily, a white pun robe gear, said, "Maybe they think you're one of them?" I also tried to get closer experimentally. Well, I ended up being thrown snowballs and driven back. It goes without saying that shortly afterwards, by Lily's beam, both pumps fled to the coniferous forest in a scatter, screaming.

I don't know, it's quite an encount rate. Even when it comes to snow mountains, monster activity seems active. Whether it's a pump or not, it's a bear's ass, and instead of hibernating, he's playing snowball. What the hell are they doing? Absolutely, you've got people in there.

Anyway, if you're coming out so much, you could have let Lily's "Living Corpse (Living Dead)" deal with you. This time it was a policy to focus on the pace of progress and move on with just the three of us, but what we refrain from ahead is almost an unidentified rank five monster, the last rose of colour lust. In the sense of avoiding a little wear and tear, it might not have been too bad to leave it to me (Simobe) if the pace had dropped.

We talked about that in the tent where we stayed overnight in the mountains, but the destination has already come to the end of our eyes and noses, so it was still decided that the three of us would continue like this.

Even while I was camping, I had a really quiet evening because I just occasionally perceived signs of monsters approaching and never actually getting attacked.

Thus, the 24th of the month of the bright frozen earth. Today is the day to set off towards the cave in order to fulfill the Last Rose crusade.

"Speaking of which, Fiona fought Sacubas once."

"Yeah, a couple of times back in the day. It was a rare monster in a relic dungeon in Sinclair."

Just as there are species familiar with Earth's fantasies, such as goblins and oaks, in this other world, there are also nice monsters that tickle the manhood of 'sacubus' without leaking into examples.

The amazing thing is that it doesn't live up to expectations brilliantly, and Sacubas really looks like a beautiful woman. Naturally, it breathes the refinement of a man.

"Sacubas uses enchantment (charms) and seductive illusions to confuse even women, but it was still not a big threat because the effect drops extraordinarily compared to men. And when I realized I couldn't do it, I just ran away."

It's not a simple behavioral principle to just attack and kill, but Sacubas is also highly intelligent in wild monsters. It is classified as a Rank 4 Monster in the Alliance.

When the information about the emergence is spread, the stupid adventurer (Otoko) arrives every time? That's why the damage spreads unnecessarily.

"Illusions, I've been used a few times, but I'm still not sure."

This is also an experience in manoeuvre experiments. Unfortunately, Sacubas' opponents were not allowed to do so, but some evil spirits (Reis) have done magic with strange effects such as driving their senses crazy or confusing their spirits.

Most importantly, none of them had such a significant effect as to fatally inhibit the continuation of the battle, so I bugged him off with a pilebanker as it was.

"An attack on a person's spirit, something that works, is collectively called illusion. Attraction (charms) and domination (dominates) are more systematically than illusions, as they also include state abnormalities (bad stats). Famous for forcing nightmares and hallucinations."

Essentially, mental attacks are vulnerable to external stimuli. For example, an illusion that gives the other person a nightmare. Even if you succeed in putting it on the enemy, if you have a buddy and he's poked or watered, how can you wake up right away?

If used in conjunction with sleep (Siesta), you won't wake up right after being slapped, but it's not like measures still don't exist.

"What about parasites?

"The result of taking over to will is very similar, but it's a different lineage. As far as Mr. Krono is concerned, Slowsgill would have been so powerful that his dominance would not have been comparable to those illusions there either, as the main body seemed to come in intact"

"Oh, I couldn't resist just my consciousness"

"Chrono's head is so resistant to mental loads that he can't compare to normal humans. If you still said you couldn't prevent it, you were really strong. I wonder if boulders are rank five or something."

Lily came all the way back to adult consciousness to talk. Did I miss you for not getting into the conversation for a moment because you're gripping the hem of my coat, as you claim to be?

Pretty, not really, I was just about to ask for your opinion.

"Is telepathy an illusion system?

"Telepathy is a fundamental ability of illusion. It's also famous for a mental attack that forces you to remember trauma, isn't it?

Exactly, and Fiona nods. I've never had enough, but I can easily imagine. What an outrageous attack. As far as I'm concerned with a harsh human experimental life and the experience of getting my people killed, I definitely don't want to.

"Can Lily?

"I can't do that. The output of telepathy is powerful, but I don't specialize in that kind of usage, so reading emotions and exploring memories is the limit."

Still a horrible enough effect though. It's like there's no privacy.

"Rest assured, Chrono's head is unreadable because it's highly resistant, and Foona is mentally protective"

"No, they read a little bit, and I trust Lily, so I'm fine."

"Ugh, there is!

Lily jumps to her waist with a smile. Even in adult consciousness, Lily is still cute. Hood's rabbit ears are shaking all the time.

"But I'm still anxious to see someone striking an invisible attack."

"We have every possible measure, so you won't have to worry about it any more"

If Nell were in the membership, it would be just a luxury to think. In fact, Fiona is right, every possible measure is taken.

To date, LastRose has ended the adventurer without making any appearance of it. Even when Mr. Jimmy first discovered the cave, the trio testifies that there were no statements at all, such as "being attacked by monsters".

What is possible is that Last Rose has a very high degree of secrecy. So much so that they don't even notice that they're in proximity or illusion.

"The tricky thing about using illusion in action is that the operator has to be close enough to show his opponent."

If it is an illusion with an abnormal state (Bad Status) system, it is the norm to fly to the target like normal attack magic and hit the effect. Liquid as poison or invisible as telepathy, but still no different to the schematic of hitting the target with a phenomenon that has some magical effect.

Last Rose says it generates peachy gas into a cave, but it would exactly apply to this example. Most importantly, the adventurer said he was crazy before the gas occurred, so it could be just a reinforcement to keep him awake from illusions.

"With my instincts and Lily's telepathy, you can only realize that no matter how well you hide yourself, if you're approached..."

Even if they show the concealed form of Mr. Sue, they can detect as much as they can if they are fully alert to the boulders. Like the optical camouflage you're familiar with in SF works, it's the same thing even if you have a completely visual cover. Sixth sense is not so easy to mislead.

"The problem would be if you use illusions that are powerful enough to fit in completely just at first glance"

However, we expect that LastRose's ability is most likely to be in this pattern.

Apart from hitting magical effects, illusion also exists a type that guides you to illusion by appealing to a particular light or wavelength visually and audibly, like hypnosis.

If there was a move where you could drag something like a camera flash into a world of illusions just once, the first unintentional blow by this alone would determine the battle.

Worst of all, he has an illusion of immediacy, in addition to his superior secrecy. However, given the danger of rank 5, it would be reasonable to assume that this ability is combined.

"This time, don't be a flash of battle."

Therefore, our last rose measures are simple. First, me and Lily will be on alert for approaching. If you detect anything strange, Fiona will blow it off towards you.

He may or may not be there. But in the meantime, make an offense and create the possibility of stopping the last rose before it pops out.

If you specialize in illusion, the last rose body should be as weak as the sloth gill. Sacubas is considered a highly magical species alongside elves and vampires, but if he specializes in illusion, he would be intermediate, even if he could use offensive magic. If the three of us are around, that much offense isn't a big threat. The front-cut battle is more where you want it.

"- Oh, Chrono, there was a cave!

Lily, who was going on the snow to glide the lead with the effect of 'Fairy Dance Shoes', finally gave me a report of her discovery.

I also look in the direction indicated next to Lily as she bounces off the snow buried to her knees or so dokadoka.

What's there is a cliff cut vertically to hold back the way you're going. Snow and ice-covered rock walls are the most rugged snowy mountain location, but not if you are honestly impressed.

The cave, I could find it right away. It's not big or small, it doesn't have standout features that stand up, but it's definitely this. There's only one cave worn on this big cliff, you can't go wrong.

Even if you look at it against the map, it still matches the location and characteristics of this cliff. This is the destination, the nest of Lastro-Z.

"Okay, then let's go"
