216-Episode 40: I Swore To Show Stigma In The Snow
Leila, can you cover me with magic?
Yeah, okay!
"God's Foot Street.
I flew right in front of Atlas's face at a speed that made me ignore the distance.
"Unlike "Shrinkage", its upwardly compatible "God's Foot Path" is capable of not only flat but also three-dimensional instantaneous movement.
I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
''What!?Gone!
Look!?There!
What??When did that happen?!
While I could hear startled voices from the ground, I slammed a slash into Atlas' neck.
Zubang!
There was a violent sound, but at most, Atlas's thick, hard neck only had a one-meter wound on it.
As expected of this size, it seems to have a high level of defense.
In addition, since it's undead, it doesn't seem to be feeling any pain.
It immediately waves its arms and tries to knock me off.
BOOM!
""~~~?"
"[W]ugh!
I kicked in the air as quickly as I could to avoid it, but the storm that rolled up hit everyone on the ground and blew some people away.
'This guy,'
I gave Atlas a thrust to his eyeballs.
'Aaaaah!'
He roared out a yell, as if he was impatient as expected after his vision was taken away.
''Meteor strike!''
Then a huge mass fell from the sky.
Leila activated the highest peak of yellow magic, Meteor Strike.
Dogo-On!
With a tremendous impact sound, the meteorite hit Atlas in the face.
With a momentum that felt as if its head was going to be plunged into the ground, the huge body was turned over.
''Ugh........''
The head was heavily dented, and the meteorite was completely stuck in it. Egregious.
Normally, his face would have exploded, but the fact that it was just that means he was such a phenomenal stone head.
Still, it's an undead that transcends death.
Atlas was already trying to wake up his body.
"'Divine Sky Slayer' x 10.
Permafrost!
To prevent this from happening, I sent a rain of "kamikaze slashes" from above.
Meanwhile, Leila uses the frigid air to freeze Atlas in place, blocking his movements.
Eventually, she succeeded in completely trapping Atlas in the ice.
Alright, now all we need to do is purify this guy.
As expected with something this big, it will take some time.
Leila, I'll leave the cleansing to you. I found the culprit, I'll take care of that one.
Riley!
But I ask Leila to do that and I leave.
There are still some other monsters left besides Atlas, but I'm sure everyone else can handle that one.
I sprint through the trees.
The reason I didn't purge Atlas right away and blocked his movements first was to trace the magic power that was being supplied.
The distance of about a kilometer is covered in a matter of seconds, and I finally find the guy.
What the hell is going on here??Are you saying that all those undead people were killed by a mere mortal??And even Atlas is becoming less and less responsive...?
Accompanied by several undead monsters, the one who was summoning them was a man who seemed to be of the demonic race.
It seems that this guy is the source of the problem, a necromancer.
''I'm sorry to be upset, but it would be nice if you noticed by now.
What?
When I called out to him, he finally turned to me.
''Wha.........................when?
Well, you're a demon, right??What are you doing in these woods?
How did you find me?
I need you to answer a question for me.
The demon tribe retreats backwards to keep their distance from me.
'Ki, of course!?I'm going to take revenge on you humans!
Revenge?
'Yes!?Four years ago, my master attacked the city, but was defeated by the humans!
Do you think Master is that old man?
He was human, but he was a necromancer who was a cadre of the Demon King's army.
''But I just couldn't get my head around it!?I just can't see how that master could be defeated by a human!
I defeated him.........
''Therefore, I swore on behalf of my master that I would definitely put that stigma to rest!?That's why I've been preparing carefully for the past four years!
I see.
So that was that large number of demons and Atlas.
The High Orcs that I encountered outside the forest the other day must have left the control of the sorcerer for some reason and gone out of the forest.
''However, I was going to try and eliminate those humans who appeared in this forest and make them into pawns for my long-cherished wish... What is the meaning of this!
Apparently, the idea didn't work out so well for you.
Failure??Impossible!?There's no way those many undead monsters could be defeated by that many people!
'No, I think you'd better accept reality.
Shut up!?You people, get rid of that human child!
"'Oaaaaaahhhh!'
The undead monsters, who had been quiet until then, attacked all at once.
''Holy Cross.''
""Aaaaaaah!"
He showered the light of purification and slashed into the frightened place.
''Bah, that's ridiculous...?''
The necromancer's demon tribe was stunned as they were easily annihilated by their subordinates.
Since there are so many gaps, he closes the gap and kesa-slashes in time.
''Gyaaaaaaah!
You don't have any other disciples anymore, do you...?
