Chapter 10: 10

1-10 . Let's Dance With the Demon! [Final Part]

"Greetings from the battlefield, the commentator Suzuki Ichirou, will be sent off by me, Satou . "

Expect getting even more skills with increasing tension, Satou's here .

While pretending to be dead behind the mantle, I activate many skills but . . .

I didn't expect for it to cause a situation like that!

Well then, let's start "Let's Dance With the Demon [Final Part]"!

◇

I take out a two-handed sword from the shadow of my mantle .

At the same time, the magicians begin their counterattack, after waiting behind their formation .

Fireball, Firestorm, Wind Blade, Lightning . 3 systematic magics assault the demon one after another, and it also lands on me who is seemingly petrified near the demon .

Furthermore, more attacks come after a bit . Stone Bullet, Sandstorm, Water Ball, Snowstorm .

The last one to arrive is simply a pillar of light piercing through heaven .

>[Fire Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Wind Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Lightning Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Fire Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Wind Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Earth Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Water Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Ice Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Earth Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Water Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Ice Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Light Magic Skill Acquired]

>[Light Resistance Skill Acquired]

The log flowed at a great speed .

Maybe because of my level the damage isn't much, but unpleasant things are unpleasant .

The demon seems to think the same, and returned lightning magic to the magicians lot .

Probably predicting it, the magicians defended with a barrier before the lightning hit .

Already breaking apart from the magic earlier, I shatter the petrified mantle and shield .

Being a bit away from the demon, I stand up and immediately jump to close the distance . Aiming at the demon's head I swing the two-handed sword .

Since the demon tilted his head, the full attack did not connect, but I succeeded in cutting one of his horn .

>[Two-Handed Sword Skill Acquired]

>[Helm Splitter Skill Acquired]

>[Air Battle Skill Acquired]

>[Weapon Destruction Skill Acquired]

The soldiers are looking over here while saying something .

They're probably surprised that someone who just got shot by barrages of magic could calmly fight .

With my disheveled long blond hair swaying on the back and the silver mask reflecting the sunlight, I face the demon .

I thought that a hooded mantle would suffice, but it was a good decision to prepare additional disguises as an insurance .

After receiving that much concentrated fire the demon finally suffered about 20% damage .

I bear the two-handed sword to on my shoulder . I have no problem wielding it, but it's hard to balance my body due to the weight . It's good that I become younger and all, but since my body also became lighter it might be a minus in a battle .

For now, the demon is too close to the magicians' base . If I don't somehow lead it away from the plaza…

I don't want you to misunderstand me, this is not because some sort of heroism of not wanting any victims . The reason is quite selfish; they do damage the demon, however small it is, so it's troubling if they're all annihilated .

The demon attacks during the gap where my thoughts derailed . Dashing on the ground, the poisonous claws rushed towards me!

Even if tried to shake the demon off with the two-handed sword, it boldly closed the distance not letting me get away .

I throw the two-handed sword at the demon to elude the poisonous claws, taking out a hatchet from the mantle and use it to cut the demon .

Because the hatchet stuck deeper than I thought, I left it there and avoided the demon's counter .

>[One-Handed Axe Skill Acquired]

While empty-handed, I'm exchanging blow with the demon while retreating .

Sometimes, I pick up weapons dropped by the soldiers on the ground to add onto the attack . Since I haven't activate physical attack related skills, the damage I'm doing is small .

Should I break the deadlock soon?

Most knights have wounds all over the body, only a few of them are unhurt . There aren't any useless shots from the magicians either, seems that they ran out of magic power .

Seemingly, it's not only me who thinks so, from the castle gate several horses come out pulling a cannon .

I position myself to divert the demon's attention from the gate until the cannon finished setting up .

When I get near the wreckages I draw the demon's attention, behind the wreckages, I switch my weapon . I put a blacksmith's hammer onto my waist, and wield a two-handed axe and a sledgehammer in each hand .

It's not really practical but thanks to my maxed STR, I can wield it just fine . Maybe because I look ferocious, the demon's expression become unpleasant .

I jump from behind the carriage . First let's strike with the sledgehammer!

The demon guarded to the right with both hands but without minding it I slashed from the opposite side with the two-handed axe .

The axe cut through, and the arm fell!

. . . I remember, from some manga, about an episode of an arm that had been separated from the body attacking independently . Let's pay attention to that arm . . .

>[Two-Handed Axe Skill Acquired]

>[Two-Handed Hammer Skill Acquired]

>[Dual Wielding Skill Acquired]

>[Herculean Strength Skill Acquired]

Though it's a different story with a surprise attack, after all fighting using a sledgehammer with one hand is difficult, I fight single mindedly with the two-handed axe .

The cannon still isn't prepared yet .

The demon inhale greatly .

Magic!

I close the distance . But, that was a bad move .

The demon let out an acid breath!

Even though I've seen it once! I completely forgot that it has this kind of attack!

I guarded with the axe which immediately broke, the wig and the robe got terribly burnt .

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

I go to the nearest cover, throw off the robe behind the bronze statue, and wear a new mantle . I wore commoner clothes underneath the robe yet there's also a large hole in it too .

If the surface area of the axe wasn't big, my face would have burned . . .

>[Decay Resistance Skill Acquired]

>[Quick Dressing Skill Acquired]

I allocate [Decay Resistance] and [Quick Dressing] with skill points .

I wonder what the variety for skills are, I want a wiki .

Since the axe is no longer usable as a weapon, I throw it away; I try to strike once with the blacksmith hammer from my waist . Since it didn't seem very effective, I put it back when I got the skill .

>[One-Handed Hammer Skill Acquired]

>[Blacksmith Skill Acquired]

I think blacksmithing is quite different to this . . .

Meanwhile, the cannon installation is complete, but it seems that it will require some time before it could fire .

I pick up the sledgehammer which I discarded earlier .

Of course the demon doesn't let up his attacks, but whether it's because of the avoid skill, or because I'm getting used to fighting, I've reached the point where I have some margins in this fight .

I should end this soon . . .

I allocate skill points to [One-Handed Sword] .

The cannon seems to be ready to fire . Magicians on both side of the cannon begin to to cast spells .

The demon seems to be really worried about the cannon . Its putting up an air .

The demon charges toward the cannon during the gap when I avoided its tail attack!

I discard the heavy sledgehammer, and pick up a sword lying on the way while chasing the demon .

The demon, with agility belying that huge body, jumps over multiple soldiers who block the way .

The light soldier with spears immediately cover but they become prey to the poisonous claw .

But the demon stopped .

Just like the demon, I jump over the soldiers and cut one wing off the demon, then I pierce the sword to its leg and stitch it to the ground . After getting the sword skill, I could understand the principle of swordsmanship . The demon only has 30% remaining on its HP gauge .

Furthermore, I pull the only remaining arm of the demon to the ground .

I intersect the demon's arm to its leg, and with my free hand pick a spear left by the killed soldiers earlier to use it to crucify the demon on the ground .

>[Fighting Skill Acquired]

>[Capture Skill Acquired]

I look at the a person who looks like a commander besides the cannon who's measuring the timing to shoot the cannon .

I fix the demon with another spear, and nodded there .

The commander swing down his arm, at the same time, I jump off from the line of fire .

The cannon shoots out a buckshot and innumerable wound appear on the demon's . Moreover, as a final blow, a magic combo like earlier struck .

I wonder if the cannon can’t shoot multiple rounds, it didn't finish the dying demon . The magicians probably don't have enough magic power either, only three people cast spells .

I could end it if I run there with the sword but let's give the honor of ending the demon's life to those guys . Like I said earlier, this is not out of goodwill; even if the opponent is a demon, I don't like killing with my own hand . It's really stupid, but I'm from society unrelated to violence since a long time ago . . . Even though I eat meat and fish, I shirk on killing .

Putting that aside . . .

The demon used the tattered hand freed from the stitch to lift up its body from the ground, raised a roar and destroyed the cannon with lightning magic . Is there no one who could use a barrier anymore?!

Then the slightly late magicians use magic to shave the little of the demon's strength (HP) .

Furthermore, the knights get off their horses and sidle up to the demon with their long swords ready .

. . . It'll end after the encircling completely, huh . Amen~

The end can already be seen, but the demon hasn't given up yet .

The hand which has been restrained by the knights is thrust into its own chest, pulling out a dark red heart . The pulled heart is fast begin to pulse harder . Matching the violent movement, light overflow .

The knights hurriedly try to destroy the heart, but they don't make it in time .

With loud bursting sound, the heart breaks apart!

When the light subsided, several magicians who set up barriers have become corpses in a heap . Only the lower half remaining of the demon's dead body . The ground is gouged in a fan shaped form following the demon's direction toward the castle gate, the gate itself has been partially destroyed .

The demon's corpse falls apart and becomes black dust .

I slip into the alley during the clamor and hide myself .

>Title [Combat-Ready] Acquired

>Title [Skilled Warrior] Acquired

>Title [One Who Dances With Demons] Acquired

>Title [Hero] Acquired

. . . I wonder if the last one is sarcasm .
