After Benari’s revelations, which left only scars on everyone.

Our battle also began at the same time, with Kelton swinging a bone sword as large as his body.

“Go away…, children… . Make those children weak… .”

-Wheww!

“Banshees! Everyone, defend properly without showing your backs!”

A legion of dozens of banshees emerge from Benari’s gigantic body.

The power of each one was not that strong, but the scary thing was their numbers. Those who took the form of ghosts of young women were specialized in sucking the energy out of any living thing that touched their bodies.

“It seems like a guy that can’t be defeated by simple swords or arrows! You have to use magic or magical power to defeat him, Sister!”

-Pfft!

‘Heeek… .’

“Don’t worry about others, just worry about yourself, Antonio! Agnes, I’ll leave Antonio to you!”

“… Okay.”

Seraphine, who seemed to not care about Antonio’s worries, kicked the banshee that came before her with a kick filled with moonlight and annihilated it.

He was also a member of a warrior party that efficiently dealt with banshees that approached him using magic or arrows imbued with magical power.

And Antonio, who was the most worried for many reasons… .

-Whew!

“I will help Agnes Youngae with her square! Leave it to me with confidence!”

-Whoooosh!

“… Either way!”

He was surprisingly good at spreading the word by teaming up with Agnes. He was cutting down the approaching banshees with a sword that had wind magic flowing through it.

Looking at that appearance, there’s no need to worry. The royal magic that Antonio uses is ‘attribute swordsmanship’. Judging from what he can use at the moment, his growth is a bit fast.

‘But in the original, it seems like it was water-attribute, not wind-attribute.’

Just as I was wondering why he was suddenly swinging a wind-attribute sword, Agnes’ fireball appeared in front of Antonio.

-Wheww!!

-Whoooosh, hoooosh!!

Antonio’s wind, which split the fireball into a cross, blew her flames in all directions.

‘Heeek…’

‘Hehehe…’

… So that’s why it was wind-attributed. There’s no way Siagnes wasn’t involved.

It seems like he really does love her passionately, seeing as he can even change his special magic for love.

By the way, I’m clearing out the banshees that appear around me with a shockwave as soon as I see them. They’re usually a bit dangerous to kill with a single shockwave, but thanks to various things, their level has increased, so I think I can deal with them with just one hit.

If the growth was as per the original scenario, it might have been a bit difficult. I think the fact that I caught two reserve Four Heavenly Kings in the recent battle had a big effect.

‘Heee… .’

‘Ugh, ugh, ugh… .’

“How long are these guys going to keep pushing in…!”

“Just hold on a little longer! Serista-san’s order is almost done! ”

-Phewing!

‘Hehehehehe… .’

A group of banshees that attack with an ominous howl, disappear, and then reappear in a short while.

Although we become a little weaker with each kill, in the end, when so many of them come rushing in, we are the ones who will be at a disadvantage first.

That’s why it was time to use large-scale area-of-effect magic. It had to be a large-scale sacred magic that could kill undead monsters all at once without causing damage to allies.

“… So, Goddess, please purify all the strange things in this world… !!”

-Paaah!!

As I was thinking that way, Serista’s prayer ended at the best possible time.

At the same time, a divine explosion spread out from her center, instantly purifying dozens of banshees surrounding us.

‘Heee… .’

‘Ahhh… .’

… As expected, she is a current saint, so she is more powerful than the original work.

If the original story was true, the Benari & Kelton battle was Serista’s awakening event. In other words, in this early stage of the battle, she should not have been a saint yet.

Since a character who shouldn’t have been a saint became a saint, the direction of the battle was bound to tilt towards our side. I was also fighting while saving my magic power for the last blow.

“Uh,uh… .”

“… … ?”

“Huhhh… .”

“It’s howling! Everyone, cover your eyes and ears!”

“… … … … … … !!!!!”

As soon as all the banshees were destroyed, the Banshee Queen began to sob slightly and then let out an incredibly high-pitched voice at us.

It was a sound that would rupture eardrums if heard, and was even lethal if seen, so all those involved in the battle covered their eyes and ears and waited for the screaming to end.

“… Heh, heh heh… .”

After the screaming stopped, Benari lowered her head and quietly sobbed for a moment, so this was the only chance to inflict damage based on the original game.

If you can properly focus your firepower, it is possible to somehow inflict damage on that huge body. However, if you do not properly target the damage, the entire battle up until now will have been in vain.

As mentioned earlier, Benari’s body and Kelton’s body share each other’s vitality and have a ‘recovery pattern’. Most players do not properly recognize this recovery pattern, so it is nearly impossible to beat this boss on the first try without a strategy.

It’s a gimmick that I had a lot of trouble with at first. I tried to figure it out by myself and failed, and only after reading the strategy guide did I end up cursing and saying, “What kind of guy is this?”

Benari and Kelton can regenerate exactly the opposite parts of each other’s bodies. For example, if Benari’s right arm is destroyed, Kelton can revive it if he still has his left arm. The same goes for the opposite direction.

That means, we have to cut off Benari’s right arm at the same time that the warrior cuts off Kelton’s left arm. If we cut off the limbs one by one at the same time, we can enter phase 2.

‘In the original game, there is no problem because both sides are controlled by the player…’

Since we can’t share our opinions here, the signal that Agnes and Joe Segi had was essential. But since they said the signal was already decided, we had to wait for the signal from the other side.

“Miss Agnes! Is the signal here yet?!”

“… 2! Right arm! ”

“All those who have the means to attack from a distance, please place the target on your right arm! Antonio, you assist Agnes and Lilith from that side! ”

“Okay, sis!”

Silena’s magical arrows, Serista’s divine spells, and Agnes and I’s vision magic and fire magic.

The attacks fired from their respective positions flew towards the Banshee Queen’s right arm, and one of her limbs was obliterated with several explosions.

“Gyaaah… !!”

Benari’s expression is like screaming in surprise, but strangely seems relaxed.

Perhaps it’s because there’s a corner of him that believes in it. He probably believes that even if one of his arms were to fly away, he would be able to receive life force from Kelton and regenerate.

So usually the first pattern is used as a scenario to show the regenerative ability of the two boss monsters, but there was no way that Jo Se-gi, who had to conquer a game that had become serious and realistic, would handle things so complacently.

“Huh… .Huhuh… .”

“… … .”

“It was a good attempt… .But I don’t know if you guys know that fact… .The original couple is one in body and mind… .”

“… What does that mean?”

“Hoohoohoo… . That’s exactly what it means… !”

The Banshee Queen raises her severed right arm in the air as if to show us, probably to instill fear by showing everyone how her arm naturally regenerates.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Uh… .Why… ?”

However, contrary to his confident expression, his arm did not regenerate even after some time had passed, and Benari opened his eyes cautiously as if he had realized the situation belatedly.

“Seo, really… .”

She probably had an inkling that her husband, who was fighting on the other side, had also lost his left arm and was in a dazed state.

In fact, now that the woman is letting her guard down is the best opportunity to start the second attack… .

“Miss Agnes, is there no signal?”

“… No. It looks like they’re fighting over there.”

… It seemed that Kelton, like Benari, had not let his guard down and was entering the next pattern, so in order to match the match, we had no choice but to enter the next phase.

‘Huhhh… .’

‘Ughhh… .’

“They’re coming again! Everyone, get ready for defense! ”

… This has to be repeated three more times, and you have to deal with the final tantrum pattern.

It’s a battle I don’t like, but I have no choice but to end it quickly.

Meanwhile, the camp of the warriors, Geumjo Segi and Kelton, is fighting.

-Kuuung!!

“Wow!!”

“Be careful, warrior! Prince Karaham, you too!”

“Wow, this is really awesome. I cut off one arm and still got this much speed… .”

“You damn bastards! How dare you hurt Benari’s body! I will never forgive you! ”

Kelton, the king of ghouls who lost his left arm and swings his greatsword with only one arm, splitting the ground. The warrior party and his comrades desperately run away to avoid his sword.

… Underneath the feet of the flying dusty Gyeomjo Segi, a signal light that had been broken by the impact of a recent battle was quietly rolling around.
