Episode 529: Stacked Challenges and None of Our Friends

It would surely look odd if you looked around.

Whatever, I don't have a physical body in my sword pierced by the bowman's bone soldier Skeleton Soldier.

Nevertheless, it is true that the penetration hit the head of the bone soldier and from there ashed the entire body of the bone soldier.

In other words, it shows that the fullness of that sword is a pseudo made by the Sacred Qi.

This is the way I wanted to try… I extended my sword reach by Holy Qi.

Of course, I didn't think I could do this when I was trying it out at Crope's, but I figured out what I was going to be able to do when I tried it earlier.

It is never that abrupt about the idea itself, and it comes from the thought that the same thing might not be possible in the Sacred Qi because Lorraine looked closely at what she was doing with her magic.

Sometimes even Hathaler saw that my master of chi, Kapitan, was still doing the same thing in Chi.

So I tried Sacred Chi and actually did it.

So far, Chi hasn't been able to manipulate the shape so easily, but it could be done with magic or sanctity, which means that if you get the hang of it properly, it should be time to do the same thing with Chi.

Because the power of Qi is a force based on the life energy that resides in people, it is difficult to get far from the body in itself, so it is highly challenging... it would be worth practicing.

One of these days we'll try to practice.

In doing so, you might want to go to Hathaler and talk to Capitan, my "chi" master.

Anyway, he was actually doing it...

Even with that in mind, I never stop my body from moving.

Confirming that I did finish the Bone Man "Skeleton," and the Bone Soldier, for now I decided to pull a little... but I won't forget to add slaughter to the Bone Man who is still in the position where the sword arrives.

Sacred Qi is still heavily drained and unfortunately there are few more left, so it's an attack to switch your mind.

But needless to say, it still has enough offensive power against a normal boner.

Ever since I was a human, I've been giving myself the power to smash bone heads.

That's a good thing the power I've been using for a long time is reliable...

By the way, it was the abdomen, not the head, that hit me this time, but this is fine.

Because the demonic stone from which the Boneman's magic originated was housed in the abdomen, not in the head, as if it were a heart.

As a matter of fact, the position of their bone man's demon stone is not necessarily the head.

I remember asking Lorraine that most animal-type demons usually have fixed positions for demonic stones, but that's because they have a body of meat, and therefore some determination of the location of organs, etc.

But he said that bone men don't have such ties, or that they don't have organs from the beginning, but therefore have no problem putting them anywhere in the empty space.

However, it is still true that it most often fits in the head, and that may be because they also have an instinct or a feeling that important organs should be kept in the most sturdy places in demons.

Well, that's a hypothesis.

Before the falling apart bone man, when I pull further and try to make an intermission, the bone man and the spearman bone soldier step forward to pack such a distance from me.

Regardless of the bone man, the bone soldier is still medium speed.

But an arrow is released from the sideways towards them so as to hinder their path like that.

It was an attack of two, but not so destructive arrows, and despite being firmly hit on the head of a boner, as if it had hit a metal shield, Kang! It made a high noise and got bounced.

But still, it doesn't seem to be a total no-damage, and the two arrows cut off some of the bones that make up the bone man's body.

I thought there was an arm in the hunt, something like that was apparently true.

It seems the bone man also guessed that the bone was cut off, and Gurin, moving his head, and the arrows were released… In other words, the villagers clustered and bowed together by a few people, staring at them with their horrible fallen, indented orbits, and then switching direction and running out to you.

They're trying to bring the villagers down ahead of time.

Of course, that choice wouldn't be very correct. They villagers don't have a lot of offense after all.

I could make the Bones incapable of combat with a single blow. I should be more dangerous from their standpoint.

Of course, because the bone soldier didn't hit the arrow, but I'm sure he understands that villagers are less dangerous than me.

So much so that he looked at me more closely, never looked away, and instructed the running-out boner to go back in gesture.

But bone man's judgment is low.

You didn't follow the instructions, you turned your back on me.

Of course, I don't miss such a big gap, I immediately step through the ground, wave my sword down toward the empty back, and amputate the boner's body.

Boneman stopped his body from moving like he didn't understand what was going on, but finally he moved his neck slightly towards me and collapsed the body made up of that bone.

In the meantime, the bone soldier was packing a distance to me to save the bone man until he was critical, but when the bone man collapsed in one blow, he turned, retreated and took a distance between himself and me.

The bone soldier was trying to help the bone man because of nothing. He has a love affair for the bone man, etc., not because he wanted to suppress the loss of fighting power.

But more than they've done this way, we just have to settle for one ride.

That's why I dropped back.

To an extremely calm bone soldier, I wonder if he was quite a warrior in his lifetime.

Bones occur for a variety of reasons, but one of its typical things is that the bones of a creature with higher magic than usual in its lifetime rise for some reason with a new life as an immortal "undead".

That is why the adventurer's flesh is dangerous when left unattended, and the adventurer union Guild gathers a dead adventurer's badge in order to achieve a firm confirmation of its life and death, and rewards those who have found it.

Especially if those who originally possessed strong powers die with a deep grudge at the time of their death, they may also turn into the mighty undead.

... Am I that subspecies too?

Sometimes I think, but I don't remember my life in the newborn as the immortal Undead.

It will be something else...

I wonder what the hell I am.

I don't know how much you think about that question.

But now all we have to do is keep knocking down the demon in front of us and eventually get back to them...

If a bone soldier has the same consciousness as me...

Maybe I could talk to you about that, but even if you're judgmental, you're still the one who has no enemies for people.

I strengthen my ability to live without any mercy and run to the bone soldiers.

This is the last demon in this village.

The bone soldier was unable to react to my blow, which left him with no effort to spare, and was blown over the head.
