The Strongest Clan’s Master Is the Weakest and Most Evil Support Class ~Even with a Fail Job「Talker」, with My Brains and Dependable Allies’ Abilities, I’m the World’s Strongest Seeker~
Lesson 60 In that chest, is the flame on fire?
Hugo was on the roof, fighting new raiders to the death.
The first raiders were able to kill without difficulty. He was damaged by the bombing, and his direct combat capability wasn't that great. I guess it was a rear guard function (job) specializing in state abnormalities, given the situation where Hugo was about to be put to sleep.
So I could win.
But they're different now.
"One, strong!
The enemy was a great swordsman. He gently wields a double-edged sword, as long as a person's back length, and sets up a fierce assault to break Hugo. The extraneous power is definitely from the Melee Combat Function (Job).
We have managed to keep attacking with spears held by doll soldiers, but the situation is unfavourable here. If you lose your mind even for a moment, death awaits you.
I've come to kill A-rank Hugo, so there's no way he's weak. I know that. But, nevertheless, too strong. It's like I'm blind to winning.
No, you're not. - Hugo's abilities are lower than you can imagine.
The body is heavy. I don't control my magic well and waste (L.A.) a lot. I can't manipulate puppet soldiers well.
At the same time, the only limit is the doll soldiers you can create. Previously, even in the middle of a battle, he said he could have created multiple doll soldiers according to the circumstances of the battle... Compared to the full season, your strength would be less than half now.
Indeed, Hugo is A-ranked, but the rank of Function (Job) does not give him absolute competence. If you fail to train like Hugo, your abilities will drop like you roll downhill.
It's hard not to fight like a full season. I turned my back from the days of battle hoping, and it makes me think that was a terribly stupid thing.
Even if you quit the Explorer, you should only continue training. Those who have no power can only be ravaged. Hugo had the power to fight, but he scorned it himself.
It was frivolous. I was arrogant. I didn't think enough. Such a normal thing is now pressing heavily.
"When I get out of here, I have to work out again with the intention of dying!!!
Puppet (Kutsu) Skill: Magic Guide Crushing (Union Burst), Activated.
Skill that can only be used when activating the Magic Thread Puppet (Etherlink), and has the effect of releasing all limits of doll soldiers connected by Magic Thread.
The ability to be pulled up is actually a hundred times greater. A very powerful skill, but the puppet soldier thus targeted collapses in just a few seconds.
In other words, the most effective way to use it is with a special attack.
"No, no, no, no, no!!!
Hugo screams with his throat all slit and orders the puppet soldiers to storm.
I screamed because the limits were close. In order to exhaust the power of this decaying body, it was necessary to excite it by screaming. It may be unusual. You just have to win. Even if all over the mud, only those who stood at the end qualified to laugh.
The doll soldiers advance at speeds above the sound speed, the aftermath of which causes a storm.
The raiders in black shielded their swords and prevented the spears of doll soldiers. A collision sound so intense that the tympanic membrane is about to tear, it shivers the atmosphere.
"Prevent it! But heh!!!
The effect of Magic Crushing (Union Burst) increases the power of Puppet Soldiers to the limit. The progression is prevented but not stopped, trying to push off the raiders. The raider tries to stop with all his strength on his feet, but the floor just scrapes like a...
Even this attack will not bring down the Raiders. But if we keep pushing it through, we can push it off the roof. You don't have to win one-on-one. Hugo was going to rendezvous with the Noels soon after eliminating the raiders.
"Fall!!!
Hugo screams. In one more step, we can thrust down the raiders.
But...
"Become!?
Hugo saw something incredible and opened his eyes.
Precisely as it was about to fall off the roof, the raiders fixed their bodies by making several tentacles appear from their backs and poking them on the floor.
"People, then... don't you?
I had a hunch. The movement the raiders showed during the battle was really awesome, but somewhere uncomfortable was attached.
Technology - No technology.
He boasted of his superhuman abilities, but he didn't have the moves to support it, he was just wielding a great sword at his disposal. Of course, that's too much of a threat, but it felt as if it was relative to a wild beast.
I'm not a person. No one can get their tentacles out of their back. I see that.
Then what the hell is the Phantom in front of you?
In retrospect, none of the other combat abilities were equal, even though the first raiders who fought also had such powerful hypnotic abilities that Hugo could not resist (resist).
Rather than specializing in abilities, it becomes more rigid to think that they are only equipped with those abilities. Moreover, they felt a different will, not what they wanted.
So are these raiders, modified by someone?
At the moment Hugo was stunned, the doll soldier who had exceeded his limit of use collapsed.
"Not good!"
I try to get a new doll soldier out soon, but this decaying, fatigued body takes time. There's no way the raiders missed that gap, and they stuffed it all at once.
And when the sword was about to be swung down...
The raiders were suddenly engulfed in a bright red flame.
"GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Raiders stuffed and tormented by the flames that cover their entire bodies.
When Hugo was losing too many words of surprise, he felt signs from behind.
Looking back, there's...
"You have a beautiful moon tonight."
There was a snake standing with a demon gun (Silverflame).
†
†
It's a full moon. A beautiful, faded moonlight illuminates the rooftop.
I walked over to a distracted Hugo and took the silver brooch out of my pocket. It is in the form of a snake with wings.
"Choose."
I won't say what anymore. Needless to say, Hugo understands.
"Huh, cum... I see. Is this the snake?"
Hugo blew out and said as he was convinced.
"Exactly, it's a storm. I don't try to cross people's minds at all. - But that's why I liked it. You're my master from today on."
And put the brooch I received from my hand on my chest, and I humbly thank you.
"Let's swear allegiance. My Master."
"Let's forgive loyalty. Puppet Master, Hugo Coppelius"
The oath under the moon was made here. Snakes get new wings.
"GUOOOOOO!!! NOERUUUUUUU!!!
Raiders who have withstood the flames rise up and roar. There were several tentacles on his back. I see, it's really not normal.
And...
"Have you seen me anywhere?
My question, but the Raiders don't answer. - The wind blew. A strong wind blows the raider's robe, which was burning and worn out.
I couldn't help but be surprised by the dewy identity of the boulder.
"You..."
Man, it was. He's a big man in black armor.
And that face was scratchy - there was no nose.
"Is this Edgar from the Silver Steel Hound Army?
"NOeRUuuu..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Still no reply, but no doubt, it's that Edgar. Apparently, he's completely insane. My eyes are not in focus and I am drooling of covetousness from my mouth.
"Noel, do you know him?
I nodded at Hugo asking from the side.
"Oh, just a little"
"I can't believe you know a guy with tentacles out of his back, with a wide face."
"I'm just amazed at my unexpectedness, too."
"NOERUUUUUUU!!!
As we tapped each other lightly, Edgar's tentacles struck. We could have avoided it, but it was a terribly fast attack. It seems difficult to say it again and again.
"Sounds like you hate me a lot. What have you done?
"He doesn't have a nose, does he?
"Oh, there isn't."
"I'm the one who did that"
"... I see. Convinced."
"GUOOOOOO!!!
Again, Edgar launches an attack by tentacles. Besides, now it's a sword strike extra. We fly away big and dodge as we roll.
"Noel, your friend is a mighty enemy! Instructions for combat, please!
"I know."
In fact, Edgar looks pretty handy right now. As I expected, Hugo is considerably weakened in the blank, and it's about half the time if we can win even if we both try.
But there was no rush. Well, it's time...
"Noel! We're done here! Everyone's out there! So...... and then do whatever you want!!!
Through thought-sharing (link), Leon sent me a dumping bowl of whimsical thoughts.
At the best time, I snap my fingers.
"All right! Hugo, I'll give you instructions. - I asked you to land."
"Hey, what!? What do you mean?"
Hugo, who said it, becomes the face he perceived along the way.
"Oh, hey, no way..."
I laughed and nodded and took another detonator out of my nose.
There are two types of bombs planted in this prison.
One is the first to detonate, bringing explosive flames and blasts indoors.
And the other is set in the basement of the prison, its pillars.
What happens if we blow this up? The answer is - the collapse of the building itself.
"NOERUUUUUUU!!!
Upcoming Edgar. On the verge of that sword reaching, I pushed the button on the detonator.
"Edgar, you're not my enemy."
Moments, prisons rock big. And the prison, which lost its pillars, began to collapse as if it were being dragged inside.
The roof collapses, we lose the scaffolding, we fall.
"NOERUUUUUUU!!!
Edgar, who fell without a chance to exchange, still kept screaming my name.
"Noelle, Noelle, you can't do that."
I pointed Silver at Edgar, who couldn't move in the air.
"Avoid it."
Demon Bullet - Spiritual Medullary Bullet (Garm Barrett), landed.
By the effect of the Demon Bullet, Edgar swells like a balloon, and bounces off into the wood dust. A big hand grabbed me from the side the moment I was stirred up by the aftermath of the explosion and the fall speed weakened.
"Noel, prepare for impact!
The hand belongs to a doll soldier created by Hugo. Hugo is held by another doll soldier. Continuing to fall, we used doll soldiers as a buffer to prevent that damage.
But, of course, it's not complete, the whole body hurts from being struck.
"Ha ha, that was a complete win"
Hugo sighed loudly as I laughed in pain.
"What, a complete victory. I'm stuck under a terrible man."
I just say I'm exhausted, but I start laughing fun.
"We're not going to have to get bored."
"Right?"
"Oh, I hope so."
As we laughed at each other, we saw Leon and the others coming from afar.
"Well, let's go"

After one incident in prison, Hugo was acquitted, as I see it.
Many newspaper reporters are visiting and asked to interview them as they did on a daily basis. Hugo wanted to say no, but I ordered him to take it. True, I could snow the stigma, but if you think about the rest, you'd better be thorough.
Of course, not only Hugo, but I am also attracted to attention and praise. Committed to Hugo's release, uncovering the Justice Department's injustice, and arresting prison raiders, I am now a hero (hero) throughout the Empire.
The visibility of the Stormwing Snake (Wild Tempest) grew without knowledge of the ceiling, and many patrons (patrons) offered their unconditional support.
The cost of constructing the airship is also so momentum that it is likely to gather immediately.
"- So, Mr. Andreas. We're not asking for money. I just want your sincerity."
I smile at Andreas in front of me.
This day, me and Hugo were visiting Andreas. I have not made any formal appointments. He sneaks into Andreas' office unwittingly and negotiates under house arrest.
"Don't worry. I haven't told anyone to meet with you. 'Cause that would be more convenient for you, wouldn't it?
"Wow, I..."
Andreas sweats and mouths like a waterfall. On the desk, there was material I had prepared. The contents are Andreas' smuggling records.
"If this is in the hands of the Justice Department, you're done, aren't you? But I'm not a demon either. You don't want to ruin talented people like you. Hey, Hugo. You think so, don't you?
"Oh, I think so, too."
Hugo nodded and, standing behind Andreas, placed his hand on its shoulder.
"The past is the past. Why don't we get along, Master Andreas?"
"Ugh, uhh..."
Andreas leaks his voice like he's being strangled. There will be nothing but fear to stand behind the person you have sinned against. You must be scared to death. Hugo's a pretty good actor, too. Much more talented in acting than Leon and Kouga.
"Wow, okay...... I'll have the money... How much do I owe you?
"Right. In the meantime, should we have a billion fils or so?"
"And for now?
"Yeah, for now, it is. I want to be close to you longer. So I don't mind a billion fils for now"
"This, demon..."
Andreas stares at me, but Hugo's hand rests on his shoulder. As soon as his hands moved gently, his temper shredded and he began to tremble.
"The answer is, how?
"… and let's obey"
My heart breaks, and I'm disappointed in you, Andreas.
Me and Hugo laughed face-to-face at how well the negotiations went.
But then...
"Gu!? Retreat!?"
Andreas suddenly stood up and started scratching his head .
"Ouch!? Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!!!
Suddenly suffering, Andreas rolls around the room with his head in his arms.
"Noel, what the hell is this!?
"Get away, Hugo! Something's wrong!
The moment we got our distance from Andreas...
"Ahhh."
Its head exploded and a large quantity of jaws popped out of it.
In front of us, who were distracted, he created the shape of a pigeon, and flew away from the open window. All that remained was Andreas' body, who had lost his head.
"... King of the Horse"
I squeal the name Loki asked me to look into. He made Edgar the King of the Corpse Meat Eater (Scavenger).
The other raiders that Leon and his men had planted in prison were all missing seekers (Explorers) whose bodies were badly mutated.
According to Loki, that seems to be the true power of the King of the Hood.
"That's not good. If we stay like this, we'll be the killers."
Hugo said, showing the door.
"Let's go, Noel. It's tough when someone finds you."
But I couldn't help laughing from the bottom of my stomach.
"Hahahahahahahaha!!! You're getting interesting!!!
The King killed Andreas in order to disturb me. Otherwise, there's no reason to kill him. In fact, because of Andreas' death, we can no longer make it gold. It's also possible for me to keep the Hooger Chamber of Commerce in my hands, but given the cost of doing so, it's not a good idea.
Why did the King of Tsubaki interfere with me?
I can think of a number of reasons, but I cannot give an answer at this stage.
But that's why it's fun.
Complete games (love games) are just boring. It's only when someone stands up that it adds value to the apex I have.
I felt a hot flame burning in the back of my chest.
"I'll swallow the whole thing, King of the Moon."
