Episode 33. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (15)
Five-colored feathers flutter.
A parrot pricked by a black thorn fell to the ground, helpless.
“Raimon-kun! Charge!”
“Yes, yes!”
Raimon rushed forward after resetting the cumulative number of erosions.
I followed him. While using the [Cleaning] skill.
‘shit!’
I didn’t foolishly rush in because my reason was paralyzed by anger.
It was a conclusion after much thought.
The first reason I ran into it.
Now that the parrot is dead, there is no one to come to support.
So now is the only opportunity when you have reduced your physical strength to the maximum.
Second, because you die.
The moment we step away from here, all we can do is save on groceries and hope for rescue.
I’m not stupid enough to rely on those absurd odds.
And the third reason I ran into it… … .
‘It’s annoying.’
It is also true that the new strategy is in danger of failing.
There is also an absurd reason why the devil’s piece used the [Corrosion] skill.
Also, when the parrot died, the opportunity to obtain the hidden piece was lost.
and.
The story of Luthus and the parrot ended in tragedy because of my unreasonable strategy.
All.
Because I’m annoyed.
That’s why I’m rushing in.
“Kkkkkk! die!”
The devil’s side laughed. It’s a smile that seems confident of victory.
but.
‘This side also has a chance of winning.’
Make the only move you didn’t make. No, there are moves that should never be used.
That is, the number of times the word ‘I’ is used.
“You just have to avoid penetration! “Just leave the grazing attacks alone!”
There was no answer.
Because it was Raimon who was concentrating all his attention on blocking the thorns.
‘It’s quite possible. If you are our Raimon!’
A characteristic of the game in which the probability of evasion decreases as the distance increases.
However, Raimon is a special character who does the opposite.
As your stamina decreases and you get closer to the enemy, your evasion rate increases.
This means that the increase in evasion rate is greater than the decrease.
‘So towards the end, I take on the tank position.’
So, you will be able to easily repel attacks from the devil’s side.
Raimon’s arms turned purple.
‘First erosion.’
I didn’t get eroded because I was going [cleaning up] behind him.
Kang! Kakak!
Raimon faithfully carried out his orders.
Block attacks that might penetrate, and leave alone attacks that might graze.
Can you tell them apart? I made him do it, but he’s a really big guy.
Wow! Okay!
“Tsk!”
A black thorn grazed my left arm.
An attack like a whip.
I could tell even though I was wearing clothes. The skin where it was touched became tattered.
Raimon was not much different.
There was no sound anywhere on his arms, legs, body, and even cheeks.
‘Information window.’
20pts remaining.
I put all my stats into physical strength.
This is not the time to feel sorry. Because now is the crossroads of life and death.
‘Hold on, hold on!’
Even though I was hurt, I kept moving forward and moving forward.
Part of Raimon’s face turned purple.
Second erosion overlap.
He shouted, throwing the mop in his hand.
“Raimon-kun! “Hand over the sword!”
Raimon parried the last attack and handed the sword to me.
As soon as we met each other’s eyes, I knew.
That he doesn’t plan on backing down. Even though the second erosion is superimposed.
“Stay back! “You’re swept away by my attack range!”
“ah… … “Yes, yes!”
Only then did Raimon leave.
At the same time, I took a step forward.
“Tsk!”
I felt a sharp pain throughout my body, and my hands turned purple.
I could see that I had received the first erosion.
in other words.
‘I can still hold out one more time.’
A piece of the devil was right in front of me. In terms of the game, it would be somewhere between one square and two squares.
I put the half-corroded sword into its sheath.
He held the protruding handle of the sword firmly with his right hand and bowed slightly.
At the same time, [Open Eyes] was used.
“Hehe, I can’t believe you made me step forward. I can’t help it. “I’ll show you a real ‘Ilseom’.”
“… … !!”
A piece of the devil made eye contact with me.
[Open eyes] skill, ultra-close distance, and even Luna’s flashing stance.
All of his attention was focused on me.
Pajik-.
“Tsk!”
As I took a step forward, another sharp pain swept through my body.
This means that the second erosion overlapped.
If you get hit one more time, you will die instantly. but.
‘You can’t back down!’
Take a stance.
The left knee is slightly bent, and the scabbard is raised at a right angle accordingly.
Even the angle of the wrist when drawing the sword.
[‘Mimicking’ activates.]
When I activated the [Mimicking] skill I received from the clown, I became in a perfect stance.
The devil’s side’s eyes widened.
At the same time, a huge number of thorns were shot towards me.
Sorry.
There’s nothing I can do but this.
Sorry.
Because I can’t take your revenge directly.
Sorry.
Because I am too weak to appease your requiem.
I’m weak, so I’ll ask you for me.
“Hehe, did you check the back? Oh, I guess that’s impossible because I only have one eye?”
“… … !!”
You’ve used all your thorns on me, so I’ll never be able to stop you.
Judgment comes from behind the devil’s side.
The first secret of the Lucid family.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
Flip the earth!
One island!
* * *
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
Kwazijic!
Scattering ground and stones, shining flashes, and.
“Keeeeee!!”
The demon’s bodily fluids and flesh scatter everywhere with a scream.
I pressed my body even closer to the floor.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-.
After a while, the noise stopped.
I shook off the dust and stone debris from my head and looked around.
The devil’s pieces were everywhere.
All that remains is the overturned ground and a single sword mark.
“hey! are you okay?”
“Zero-kun! “Are you okay?”
“Huh… … !”
The children each said something and ran towards me.
But Raimon, why is he crying and making a fuss?
I slowly checked my body.
There are no cuts anywhere, and the erosion that overlapped twice has disappeared.
Other than minor wounds all over the body, there were no major problems.
‘Whew, I really almost died.’
Double-layered erosion, black thorns fired only at me, and damage due to Rodelin’s attack range.
It was a wonder he was alive.
How did you avoid the black thorns?
‘I dodged it by rolling around.’
After lying down and avoiding the thorns.
It rolled around and escaped the attack range of Erosion and Rodelin.
It was quite ugly, but no one would have seen it.
It was such a fierce battle.
It was time to desperately push away Raymon, who was running towards me with a face covered in tears and snot.
“I-I told you guys… … .”
An annoying, devil-like voice.
I got goosebumps and my hair stood on end.
Everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
A large eye appeared through the rubble.
A piece of the devil. The guy was still alive.
‘Damn, was the level too low… … !’
We’re only at the beginning of Episode 1.
Rodelin and Luna’s levels are bound to be low. Of course, the attack power would have been lacking as well.
Kak! Kwagak!
The devil’s piece stood up, supporting its body with black thorns.
The guy’s eyes sparkled with madness.
“Do you think I’m going to lose?!”
The dark red land that once again settles beneath the exploding magic energy.
In terms of a game, the range is about two squares.
‘Is the three-time instant death rule still intact? … !’
The only thing that changed from the first time was its location and physical strength.
Resurrection in a changed location.
From now on, it is unknown territory even for me, a person who is still a person.
‘… … ‘You have to step back first!’
It was time to give the order to retreat.
Black hair with a hint of blue passed by me.
“Haaaaaaaaa!!”
This is Rodelin.
In an instant, she reached the devil’s side and swung her sword.
The hands were already dyed purple.
This is because the first erosion was applied as soon as the sword was swung.
Kakang! Kwasik!
“Big… … !”
Rodelin moaned.
The speed was fast, but the attack was too honest.
The attack was blocked by a shield made of thorns, and a couple of black thorns pierced Rodelin’s arms and thighs.
“Kkkkkk. That sucks. “Don’t worry, I’ll send the rest to you soon.”
A second erosion occurred on Rodelin.
Hands and face turning purple, veins swelling as if they might burst at any moment.
“Miss Luna!”
Before I could say anything, Luna was already running.
Raimon and I ran together. but.
‘It is too late!’
Whether it’s the subsequent thorn attack or the instant death rule due to the third erosion.
There is no way for Rodelin to avoid death.
That was when I thought so.
“You can’t stop me like this!!”
Rodelin raised the sword she was holding with both hands above her head.
At the same time, I stood up straight, adjusting the stride length of my left and right feet.
Crack!
In the process, the thorns embedded in his arms and thighs broke.
There was astonishment in the eyes of the devil’s side.
“This monster… … !”
Blood flowed out freely, but Rodelin paid no heed and went on to the next move.
The suspended posture is the basic posture of kendo.
There, the sword was raised above the head.
Only then did I know what Rodelin was trying to do.
“To Lucid… … To the people of Lucid… … .”
Rodelin’s voice.
No, a resolute oath echoed throughout the community.
I quickly kicked Raimon, who was running next to me, and threw my whole body towards Luna, who was in front of me, and hugged her.
“A second defeat is not allowed!!”
Rodelin’s eyes lit up and the sword was lowered.
Yeah, that’s it.
The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.
Split the sky.
… … .
Rodelin lowered her sword, but nothing happened.
Rather, it was filled with silence.
It was so quiet that you thought it was strange.
“What is this… … Son… … ?”
Wow.
Those were the last words the devil’s piece left in this world.
As soon as I opened my mouth, my body split in half.
and.
A storm raged in the cavity.
* * *
“Uh, uh… … .”
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Luna’s face.
Watching him sleep and breathe softly is so cute.
‘How nice it would be if it was always this quiet.’
When I pinched Luna’s cheek, she let out a small moan.
It was when I got up and succeeded in getting my little revenge.
A blue window appeared before my eyes.
[You have cleared the hidden quest ‘Defeat the Devil’s Piece’.]
[300 exp and 30 gold are given as compensation.]
[The title, ‘The one who slayed the devil with a mop’ is given.]
[The one who killed the devil with a mop]
-The devil facing you is afraid of you in many ways.
All stats of demons faced as enemies -3.
‘You even get a title. ‘You’re lucky.’
This game has a system that allows for overlapping titles.
In other words, the more there is, the better.
‘Seeing as the quest was broken, it seems like the devil’s side is definitely dead… … .’
I looked around.
Next to Luna was Raymon, and next to him was a parrot.
“Sweet… … Squeak.”
The parrot let out a rough breath.
The wound was perfectly healed.
‘Did Rodelin cure it? But it’s not in good condition.’
In this world, like a game, there are things called ‘potions’.
Rodelin is the child of a prestigious family, so of course she would carry that much with her.
but.
‘… … ‘I’m in trouble.’
[Imitation of God].
This is the hidden piece and skill I wanted to acquire.
This skill is completed with the death of the parrot.
What does it mean?
‘In the game, as soon as the player clears the devil’s side, the parrot falls asleep next to Luthus.’
This is a parrot that has already lived longer than the average lifespan.
It is a natural death due to aging, and at the same time, an inevitable sacrifice for the completion of a touching story.
That’s how the parrot dies.
But now.
‘It’s so different from the game.’
It wasn’t enough that I was attacked instead of myself, and the devil’s side was resurrected.
Originally, the Lucid family’s final secret weapon would become available in the second half of the episode.
Even though it is different, it has become so different.
‘What happens to the hidden pieces?’
It was a difficult situation in many ways.
It was a time when I was scratching my head.
“Zero, are you awake?”
