Summoning at Random

Episode 66: The Flaming Devil

Ling Ji, who embarked on a dungeon attack, arrived at the tenth underground hierarchy while taking a temporary sleep in the sixth underground hierarchy along the way.

The daytime strategy of using the teleportal originally conceived has been concluded to be difficult, mainly in terms of financial burdens, and has been abandoned early.

To boulders, continuing to pay five silver coins every day is going to be an amount that won't eventually be Mogadishu, so I can't help it.

Nevertheless, there is no fool in the face of Atlanta who sees this dungeon so sweetly that he thinks he can start the offense and trace it to the bottom tier in one piece.

Things can be done if Ling Ji's item box is bought in advance, but considering the physical and mental fatigue aspects, there is a corner teleportal function, so it is definitely a good idea to get back to the ground and get some rest in due course.

After discussions between the five of us, we were to go back to the ground for a rest once before and after the boss floor that existed every ten tiers. It is always the policy to go down to the lower tier after defeating the boss, and before challenging the boss, to look at his health status at that time and decide whether to return.

"You've been doing well so far. I think you can keep trying at this rate, how about that?

"I'm fine. I'm not so tired at the moment."

"Oh, I think I'll be fine, too"

"I don't have a problem either"

"I don't mind either"

I returned an answer to Orlein, who looked back in the room in the safety zone at the basement ten-story entrance and asked the party members, to the effect that each had no problem.

The five people who decide to challenge the boss without going back to the ground nod at each other and start talking about the boss's measures waiting on this hierarchy.

"The three of you have fought and won against the bosses of this hierarchy."

"Oh. That said, I can't be alarmed because it was a rough win."

Previously, when they fought the bosses of this hierarchy, they were practically close to defeat if only in terms of the war situation. Although a random element of Ling Ji's automagic and lucky sword hit him at the critical place to win, he literally could say that it was a triumph. Assuming you ask me if I can do the same thing again and win, I have to deny it.

Moreover, at that time there was Eligor, the former Demon King, a powerful force, but now there is none. Instead, Milieus and Filina joined the party, and Ling Ji's power has improved so much that it is not comparable to that time, so as an overall battle force, he steps that it is not inferior or winning compared to that time, but the lack of avant-garde is one neck. If you are a miscellaneous fish enemy, you can cover Aurain by turning to the avant-garde, but being the boss on a boulder is tough on her not in the main position.

"As for the rear guard power, it's an improvement over then. Even if the Black Dragon jumps up in the air, it will be possible to deal with it. The problem is, when you come down to the ground, right? I think it's hard for Ling Ji to take that Black Dragon attack on the boulder..."

"Give me a break. Eligor is the only one alive to take such a big dragon attack."

"Well, it's a harsh story to compare to your predecessors on boulders. I can't help it, I'll get Flame Marionette out. It's a flame, so you can't take a dragon attack, but you can make him hesitate to jump in if you let him stand forward."

Ling Ji and the others think about Miliers' proposal for a while.

Her flame marionette, if I may say so, is what consolidates the flame into a human form. As there is no entity, it does not serve as a shield.

However, Miliers' words were convincing that it would be hard to think of coming into a detour if there were a hot, burning flame in front of him.

But......

"Wouldn't it be over if they didn't come in directly, if they were blown away with braces?

Yes, Black Dragon's biggest attack is that brace. If they decide it's hard to get close, they'll relentlessly release their braces.

And once the braces are released, there's nothing we can do about Flame Marionette with no entity.

"Sure. But we need some preliminary action to release the brace. With all that clearance, we'll be able to tap into the attack."

"Cheng Cheng, that makes sense"

Miliers is right, you're bound to need a hoard to release your braces more than you need to breathe in and release them. Use Flame Marionette as a shield to stop your opponent from approaching you, while inviting Brace. And attack that gap when the opponent enters the preliminary motion.

Assuming, of course, that when the Black Dragon is flying over the sky, it rains and eats long-range attacks to get him off the ground.

With the current power of the party, this seemed to be the best.

"Sounds like you should. So let's go."

"Yes!"

"Uhm."

"Okay!

"but I'll do my best"

Summarizing the operation, Atlandam has always gone out of a room in the safety zone to tackle an attack on the basement's tenth tier.

Because the answer has already been found once, stone slab collection no longer excuses the meaning of riddle solving. Exploring the floor from the beginning without going all the way to the pedestal and completing the tablet collection in a short amount of time, I always opened the door to the boss room and stepped inside.

"He who challenges the evil devil of black flames, gather up the stars of righteousness"

Without noticing any change in wording that they would have noticed if they had looked carefully at the pedestal….

◆ ◆ ◆

Ling Ji and the others immediately noticed something strange. No, they noticed.

Boss, what they felt as they stepped into the room was the unusual heat they felt all over their body.

You get heat as if you are exposed close to a burning flame and sweat flows from your whole body without a stop.

The one that was at the end of a constant gaze that turned its attention to the heat, it was the look of a demon spraying flames from all over his black body.

Three times the length of a person's body is likely to be pitch-black, with thick horns twisted in distortion, creepy red glowing eyes, and a fiery sword in each hand.

The sword in your hand and the flames that erupt from your whole body are a mixture of black, purple, and red, far from what is natural.

He was clearly a different opponent than the Black Dragon they assumed they would confront here.

"No way...... the boss is changing!?"

"Besides, this look! Gustav the fiery devil in the inheritance?!?"

Oraine and Miliers raise their voices of consternation. Of course, the other three couldn't hide their upset.

"Do you know anything, Mr. Miliers!?"

"It's a fiery demon handed down to the Devil Nation's heritage. Legend tells us that those who inhabit and visit the depths of the cave are relentlessly burned down. Once on earth, the power will destroy the country."

"Son!?"

At this point, the operation they were setting up has been rendered pointless.

Though the evil ghost Gustav in front of you is small compared to the Black Dragon, it doesn't make a difference that he is a giant compared to a person's body. Then I wonder if the same tactics can be used as Black Dragon, but there is a reason not to.

"Not good. Flame Marionette is powerless when it comes to dealing with this one"

Sweat for reasons different from the heat as Miliers whines in a serious tone. Everyone understood why without having to be explained.

At any rate, the opponent is a "flaming" demon that becomes hereditary. Fire magic doesn't work, but it even threatens to help them if they do poorly. Even if you let Flame Marionette stand as a shield, she would storm without feeling any itch.

For Miliers, who specializes in fire magic, I could say he's the worst opponent.

But we don't have time to rethink the operation as soon as possible. The opponents stared at Ling Ji and the others who came into the room and are already in a state of war.

"---------!

"Coming!

Gustava stepped out with the roar without waiting for Ling Ji and the others, who had not recovered from confusion, and the battle began.
