Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Episode XVIII: Bertoga

"Both inferior species (Zako) are depressing!!"

Crowded adventurers are blown away by Bertoga's blow.

Magic released from a distance is prevented by flames, and if it is approached and slashed, it is blown with gold bars.

In exhausted they have not been able to keep up with Bertoga's movements, even if they are cooperating.

"Chip... that thing"

In addition to joining the front, Misha, who gave us our allowance, tongues.

Her people were also eating up their teeth when they saw how it was going.

"Elfi... do you think you can use the Devil's Eye?"

"I can't. I'm desperate to maintain my body..."

The situation sucks.

Eating an earlier attack, I'm broken bones.

I put the off shoulder back, but it's far from full.

"Io... Speaking of which, didn't you have another potion in your porch?"

"... I can't do that. I can't use it. I've run out of what I had."

Right in front of me, I can see the adventurer being ravaged.

"Shit......"

Beltga is a ghost elite even then.

I'm not in the same shape as Marwin's men.

Whatever the state is in, it's impossible to fight and win in the present state.

"Uh-oh!"

"Damn...!"

"Don't pull...!"

Zolkin, who took off his armor, is making a fierce blow, but Bertoga is playing all of it.

Even the attack that defeated Flaming Dragon with one blow won't reach Bertoga.

There are many adventurers rolling around eating gold bars.

The dead may also be out.

"No, not at all."

"What...!"

Slowly swinging the golden bars, Bertoga snapped.

"There's elephants! Grid! Gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee! I'm not in the same shape as them. Ooh!"

Beltga's golden bars swing like storms.

Zorkin, who stood in the front, is blown away, the adventurers who were around him are crushed, and the sorcerer is burned by the hot air emitted by the gold bars.

Again, there's no winning in those guys.

All I'm waiting for is death.

"Ahmatu, don't you miss it?"

It's blowing up the adventurers and Bertoga is coming this way one by one.

"Oh, no! We're not going anywhere! We're only buying time! Don't be!"

Take it, one more minute or something.

"... Io and the others, run away"

Making a noise with Kathari, Misha pulls the sword out of her sheath.

And look out for your people,

"Buy some time. In the meantime, run away from the labyrinth."

"... you guys are dying"

Misha smiles like she's been so convulsed.

"It was Mr. Io and Mr. Elfi who cured my grandfather and gave me money to fix the store.

By the time I got here, they had helped Atashi and his people over and over again.

So let me thank you back here. "

So, what is it?

Because you helped me, or you want to return the favor.

It's all the words the guy who betrayed me said.

"Why... that's how I can throw my life out. Why don't you cut us off and try to escape... and you're not afraid to die...?"

"I'm afraid to die. But..."

Are you saying you owe me? How much did you owe me? If your life is in danger, why don't you run away? "

Elfi is listening in silence.

Misha's people, too, keep quiet.

"I have that, too."

Misha said, laughing.

"- Because I wanted to help, help. That's all."

"Ah..."

It is.

It was the dialogue I said when I became a hero and was ideally drunk.

"... I'm coming!"

We take our people, and Misha heads to Bertoga.

Don't look back, just be straight.

"The cat race." You don't know that ghosts and cats have different personalities! "

In a handsome move, Misha flirts with Bertoga.

Slash as you go, but her offense won't do any damage to Bertoga.

Neither does the magic of our companions reach Bertoga.

What should I do?

It was that time of the tour.

――――――

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Only for a moment, I could see someone behind me.

He's a gray-haired man.

He put his coat on and stood up to something.

Vision soon, back to normal.

"Huh."

I want to repay you, I want to help you.

That's what they came up to, they betrayed me.

I was betrayed because I was intoxicated by my sweet ideals and couldn't figure out the essence.

You want to create a peaceful world, or you want to protect your loved ones.

Even now, I think it's crap.

He said it was just hypocrisy that he didn't see reality, such as wanting to save it.

But.

Now it would be different to abandon those people who fight for us (...) and run away.

"... All right"

Pull out the jade knife Misha has been collecting for me.

With an arm that is finally starting to move, I take the demon stone out of my porch.

"What are you going to do, Io?"

"It's settled. Vengeance is in front of us. You've decided to kill him."

If you miss that scum here, I don't even know when I'll see you next.

Then we should definitely kill him here.

"Then I'll do what I can"

"... don't you run away?"

"Fool. I got hit with a gold bar. Can you forgive me and put it down?"

Close your eyes, Elfi says.

"Besides, there was that guy when I was sealed. When Orteguia told me your men were already dead, they were toying with my men's remains. You can't forgive me, right?"

"... ok"

Fighting without running, I decided.

"Ooooooooo!!"

Bertoga puts magic on his voice, releasing a growl.

Misha and the others bathed from the front at a volume that echoed across the labyrinth.

My buddies lose consciousness and fall flabby.

"-"

By the time I recognized that, Misha's body was also leaning.

Power falls out of your whole body and the ground gradually approaches you.

I saw a shadow pointing to my fallen self.

"Fuck you, you piece of garbage!"

Just before the gold bars came swinging.

――――

The black robe snapped.

Someone in between was taking Bertoga's gold bars.

"Ah..."

There was Io who should have let him escape.

"I wasted the efforts of the miscellaneous fishes, Amatsu"

"I don't know..."

Ito and Bertoga meet.

Again, it doesn't come true for Bertoga in today's Iori.

Even so.

"Hero" - "

To the unconscious Misha,

The fightin 'Iori appeared overlapping the legendary hero figure.

"Not with me now, you're so different!"

Distance from the adventurers as they desperately recieve the gold bars.

I guess the adventurers only look like the trash they're rolling in to Bertoga.

Being distant from them, Bertoga seemed to feel nothing.

"You don't look like that woman, did you run away? Compared to that, Amatsu is amazing not to run away! Are you a hero!?"

"Ku...... uhh"

"The hero is with me now. Ha! Greatness. Greatness. Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"I don't know...!"

"Accelerate", "Strengthen your body," Attack with Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer), Attack with "Running Water Cannon" or "Demon".

Bertoga waves a gold bar down in a frustrating breeze at an attack aimed at vision.

"" Burning Wind (Flame Blast) ""

"Huh!?"

The shock wave strikes as a hot air that burns down the skin.

Activating the "demonic blockade" breaks through without a scream and burns his entire body in the wind.

I even nauseated at the heat and pain so much.

I've almost used up my margin now.

But I smiled and provoked Bertoga.

"What's so admirable about being discriminated against by humans? Wow, it's a complex."

"Ah...?"

"That's why I can only scold every fool I remember, I'm going to be Uncle Ge"

"Ohhhhhhhhh!?"

You were annoyed by the name Uncle Ge, and Bertoga left the gold bars to you.

Aim or nothing, it's just a blow by force.

Take it with the last force.

Use that momentum to blow back as you flush the shock as far as you can.

I rolled the ground unnecessarily.

I think I can do something with the pain.

"Ha...! Hit me in the mouth, I can't do anything in the end!"

But it's as planned.

"Ah...?"

At the next moment, the temperature of the labyrinth dropped one step.

The drifting magic vegetables disappear.

"You're a fool and you saved my life."

"Mama..."

Bertoga pointing the bah and gaze at the back of the room.

At the end of that gaze, Elphi stood, with the labyrinth nucleus in his hand.

"Why did you disappear from the room?"

"I have a narrow field of view."

While I was buying time, he was hiding the adventurers in a state of life, heading towards the nucleus of the labyrinth.

I took a distance from the adventurer, also to hide it.

"Can't you do anything without magic? Seems like you've done enough to steal?"

"Oh, my God!"

"Io, take it!"

Elphi throws a labyrinth nucleus.

Bertoga moves out.

He blew me out to take the labyrinth nucleus.

But.

"Bye! I'm sooner!"

"Huh...!"

Bertoga set up a golden bar to unleash the magic.

Shit, every labyrinth nucleus, you're gonna burn me...!

"Go to hell, Amayatsu!!"

Flames are emitted, just before that.

"-Ah?"

Bertoga's head exploded lightly.

Someone attacked Bertoga by magic.

"This cunt... ugh"

Seeing, Zolkin lay down on the ground, with his arms to Bertoga.

With the look of doing it, I lose consciousness as it is.

"Shima-"

"Huh!"

A moment when Beltga was distracted by Zorkin.

In that gap, I received the labyrinth nucleus.

Grip it shining rainbow and receive magic.

Absorbing magic still didn't bring the power back completely.

More magic than ever before.

This is a bet.

Having a labyrinth nucleus did not necessarily bring back enough power to defeat Bertoga.

I don't have much health left, and it's a bad bet.

- Still, I won that bet.

"Damn, oh, my God!"

Bertoga emits a flame.

The amount of magic included is different than before.

Extreme flame.

If it's wrapped up, it's definitely instant death.

That's why it's convenient.

――――

Activate only one sorcery, using all the magic recovered using the labyrinth nucleus and a massive amount of demonic stones in an instant.

Light envelops the jade knife.

He swung his machete down as he did toward the polar flame coming at him.

"-" Demonic Reflection (Impact Mirror) ""

Reflective magic that doubles the power of an attack received and returns it to the target.

I used it as a hero, it's one of the trump cards.

It is a sorcery that could not be used even if degraded because it consumes vast amounts of magic...

This is the moment where we have a boost to the labyrinth nucleus, we can use it -!!

The great flame is multiplied by the Demonic Reflection.

And it's Bertoga whose flames are ahead of us.

"You lost your magic!? How could you..."

Seeing the flames reflected, Bertoga screams.

I'm turning my voice upside down and calling it impossible.

"It's a lie, a lie! Teresa and I are different in character...!"

"Oh."

Seeing the flames bouncing back, Bertoga squeaks.

I agreed to that.

- You got a different personality.

The next moment.

A tremendous amount of heat engulfed Bertoga.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no."

Even flaming ghosts who specialize in flames won't be safe if they eat all that flames.

"Hot...... Hot no!!"

Bertoga's screams echo in the labyrinth.

If he was sturdy, he wouldn't die instantly if he ate that one.

Until the flames went out, Bertoga wandered around on the ground.

"Ahhh..."

Still, he won't die.

In a state of imminent death, rolling to the ground.

It's good for you.

- Finally, I can avenge it.
