A sword clothed in holy light strikes down the unholy knights.
　It's not just Erminio, his knights, and even Edgar, whose main role is to assist in the search, who have surpassed the undead in pure swordsmanship.

　Erminio, who had been slashing at the three skeletons, jumped away.
　At that moment, a fireball came from the top of the castle wall.
　The skeletons were manipulating a strange array of skeletal specimens made of brass and mithril.

"This won't work!

　Erminio held up his sword like an umbrella to catch the flames.
　Almost no damage. It's the power of the armor.
　The armor Erminio is wearing is made of adamantite, and it has been heavily enchanted to increase its defense and magic defense. He doesn't use protection to receive buffing magic from his allies, but he doesn't need it either.

　However, Loretta is a bit dangerous.
　She is dressed very lightly, almost in her underwear, but in fact the nature of her armor and the magic applied to it emphasize resistance to physical attacks. ≪She was running away while using the "Fire Cancel" to knock out fireballs.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.　I'm not sure what to do.
"I don't need to be told. I don't need to be told. That's no match for me. Just give me the buffs.
　...... Hey Edgar, let's try out the new stuff. Bring out the fireshooter!
"Hey, mister.

　Edgar pulls out a thin, cylindrical magic wand.
　Erminio takes the wand and waves it at the skeleton on the wall.

"Aha!

　A fireball flew out from the wand and hit the skeleton on the wall with a tail of fire in the air.
　Despite the small size of the fireball, there was a huge explosion and the skeleton's head was blown off.

Good, I hit it!
"Nice work, sir.
The range is as advertised. "The range is as advertised.

　Erminio was pleased.
　"The Fire Shooter. It's a magic item that contains a magic tank and a formula that allows non-magicians to use the magic of "spitfire" bullets. Erminio bought it for a dozen gold coins (the exact price has already been forgotten by him).

"Wow!
I'll shoot them all down. ...... Oops, I missed!

　The misdirected fireball burned down one of the red rose flags on the wall.

I'm not going to let you get away with this. "Watch me, I'll hit you next time.

　The next blow was well-aimed and struck the skeleton operating the defense weapon.

　A zombie in knight's armor approached from the ground, trying to block Erminio's attack.
　However, Erminio repels the incoming zombie's sword and thrusts it at his head. The zombie collapses like a piece of string.

It's not much. They're all dirtbags. Just watch out for the critical hits.
So that's it, huh?
What?

　A creepy-sounding voice came down.

　A black shadow hovering in the sky.
　It leapt from the top of the castle wall and landed with ease over the moat.
　A man dressed in a kimono, holding a katana, with his hair tied high.
　Pale skin and cloudy eyes. A ghoul.

This guy is .......
I'm not sure if he's a ghoul general or not.

　The strong exert an appropriate amount of pressure.
　The ghouls glare at the adventurers, and you can almost feel the physical pressure.

The royal city is the princess's home. You'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to help you out.
　I'm sure you've heard of it. Udanosuke, the swordsman's instructor. I'm not a fan.
"Looks like some kind of mid-boss is coming out.

　The ghoul who called himself Udanosuke was clearly a lot stronger than the other undead around him.
　The other undead, perhaps thinking that it was no longer possible to outnumber them, took a step back.

We're not interested in the little guys. We want to fight the big boss as soon as possible.
"The princess can't stay.
　"The princess is not here, and even if she were, you would not be able to see her.

　At Udanosuke's answer, Erminio nodded his head in obvious disappointment.

"Oh?　What, you're not here? Oh, no. Well, whatever, let's take him down and ......".

　Then he turned to point his sword at Udanosuke.
　By that time, Udanosuke was right in front of Erminio.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!


Sushi!　Engawa!　Gari!　Tekka!　Kappa!　Murasaki!　Yellowtail Hamachi!

　A series of attacks came in like a storm.
　The katana was wielded like a writhing snake, and Erminio barely managed to block it as he retreated.
　The sound of clear sword fights resounded through the dead city of King's Landing.

"Tsk!

　Erminio shook his left arm.
　And then the armor of Erminio's baskets came off.

"Nn!

　The mithril armor is covered in lightning and floats in the air.
　"Haze Cloud Baskets".
　It's a magic item that allows you to detach the armor and turn it into a shield that floats in the air.

　The shield floats in the air and catches Udanosuke's katana. It cuts shallowly and the katana is sucked into the armor.

"Got it!

　Erminio takes advantage of this opportunity.
　But Udanosuke takes one hand off the katana, tightens his grip, and unleashes a compact fist strike!

Doskoy!
"Whoa!

　Udanosuke's fist slammed into Erminio's stomach.
　≪I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

"d*mn it!　What the hell is this thing?　He's bullshit strong!
"Stand down, little man.

　Etre and Alfonso stepped forward to protect Herminio.

　The two split off to the left and right as if to flank Udanosuke and slash at him.

"Ah!

　They attacked from both sides with a slight time delay.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do.

　The three of them (two of them and one of them?) The three of them (two of them and one of them?) slashed at each other, swapping positions at a dizzying pace.
　Udanosuke moves to get out of the way of the two, while Etre and Alfonso stand in Udanosuke's blind spot.
　The intermittent flashes of silver light were like a tornado of steel. If they approached carelessly, they would be caught up in it and cut to pieces in an instant.

　Erminio glares at the undead, except for Udanosuke.
　He didn't try to help Udanosuke, but instead closed the distance to surround Erminio and the others.

"Etre!　Alfonso!　You guys take care of that one!
　I'll take care of the others!
Yes, sir!
Come on, Loretta, Edgar!

　And so the three of them moved on to clearing out the undead. ......

　The undead were running fast.
　Edgar's sword slashed down on the undead as they ran past him, and Erminio knocked down two or three at a time. Erminio kicked away a zombie that had tackled him, and Edgar, who was waiting for him, cut it in half.
　In the event you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I can't let you get away!

　I'm not going to let you get away with it!" Erminio slammed his sword down on the undead as they began to flee.
　This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up in a situation where you're not the only one.

　It's only a lowly monster. There was no way that 10 or 20 of them could stand a chance.
　The undead, who had once retreated, re-formed their ranks, but their numbers had been reduced by half.

What the hell, there's no response at all.
Isn't it all the same? Or maybe Erminio is just too strong?

　Erminio and Loretta are proud of their victory. It's a regular battle for the "Dolorette the Determined". They're the second party in Ciel-Teira, and there aren't many enemies that they would have trouble with. Aside from the mid-boss who called himself Udanosuke, the rest of the monsters were just as bad.

For now, let's just destroy all the undead in this place. Let's just destroy all the undead here, and then go through the treasury and wait for the Rose Princess of Hell to come back.

　Erminio's words were cut off.

　Just as the top of the castle wall seemed to glow, a flash of intense heat radiated from it, engulfing Erminio.

　...

　In the middle of the main street, a long way from where Udanosuke and the others were fighting.
　Erminio, who had been shot by the flash, was lying on the ground, burnt to a welldone pulp.

"Hey, kid!　Boy!

　The two Temple Knights retreated, wary of Udanosuke.
　He didn't chase after them, but saw them off.

"......

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where by and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　That's fishing out.


　Taking advantage of the fact that his opponent had split up the party, he deliberately made him lose in a way that would make him get carried away, and lured him out into the middle of the main street. The undead soldier then targeted the marker attached to Erminio and fired a converging shot from his urban defense weapon, the "Divine Thunder Cannon", and shot it out.

　It was deliberate to make it so powerful that it would leave a corpse.
　As long as there was hope of resuscitation, they would return to the nearest city temple at full speed to attempt it.
　It's the most effective way to drive them back.

"Adventurers. You knights are used to fighting demons, but you've neglected to pay attention to your defensive weapons. Thank God you're an idiot.

　The royal capitals and major fortified cities of many countries are often built on top of hotspots, places where the magic of the land accumulates. This is to generate the huge amount of magic power used for defensive weapons and buildings.
　The former royal capital of Ciel-Teira, Teiralare, is no exception, with its artifact defense weapons.
　The "Divine Thunder Cannon" is a super-powered magic radiation cannon that can even cleave an entire road. By switching the firing mode, it can also be used for fuel-efficient pinpoint sniping as it is now.

Thanks. You hit it, didn't you?

　As he says this, Udanosuke climbs up the wall.
　It seems that he got here by hanging on to a small foothold in the wall.

"Go is your word. "You've held up well against the Temple Knights.
"It was all I could do to slay him without being able to resist divine magic with my amulet. ≪I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that.

　Udanosuke looked disappointed. Alastor felt the same way.
　He could not make the intruders pay by killing them all, nor could he secure their bodies as material for the undead.

"...... are you home? We need to revive you as soon as possible.
What a shame. I've lost most of the undead knights that the princess entrusted to me.

　But we did the best we could. I've done what I can with the few troops I have on guard in King's Landing. It's too much to handle with hard work, perseverance, and loyalty.
　We can't go on like this. ......
