Water Ice Lightning

A scene from the future.

Reflected in that scene were not only Amel and the First Home Clan members, but also various flags.

I don’t remember all of them, but I do remember there being a lot of flags.

Level 100.

I don’t know if that’s actually the case.

But it’s definitely a formidable foe.

The first Great Devil Subjugation War.

If we’re going to do it, let’s do it thoroughly.

Although they’re less powerful than Amel alone, they can take care of the mobs that make the boss fight chaotic.

I scanned the Clan representatives gathered in one place. Even within Clans, there were representatives for each Clan.

Representatives of each faction.

[Martial Arts Alliance]

The largest Martial Arts Clan.

Composed of Heroes from the Martial Arts world.

Many Heroes left after being defeated by the Heavenly Demon Cult Clan, but it still boasts the largest size.

However, after the size reduction, they stopped expanding their power.

They mainly use Martial Art and tend to move in factions.

Representative: A muscular, bearded man.

[Nokrim]

The largest multi-affiliated Clan.

The Clan was founded by a Martial Arts Hero, but many Native Heroes and Hunter Heroes have also joined.

They pursue their own interests, often work with thieves, trade, or enjoy a nomadic lifestyle. It’s a Clan that has grown without a specific goal.

As the name “private interest” suggests, it’s a Clan where solo Players tacitly unite to participate in Clan-level events.

Therefore, their outfits and weapons are all different.

Representative: A businessman in a suit.

[Yggdrasil]

The largest Native Clan.

Formed by Elves among the Native Heroes.

Along with the Ernaporn Clan, it’s a Clan with many Elves and has a strong totemistic tendency to worship Yggdrasil.

When you join, you receive a Spirit, and the goal is to spread the Spirit’s name far and wide.

The main focus varies from person to person, but the sub-focus is always learning Spirit art.

Representative: A typical Elf man with a beautiful appearance.

[Dragon Knight]

A Native Clan affiliated with the kingdom.

The Royal Knights.

Composed of Native Heroes and knights of the kingdom.

They undergo intense training, act as a group rather than individuals, and have a sense of mission to save the world.

They are strong in group battles.

They use basic swordsmanship.

Representative: A large man in red armor.

[Golden Knight]

A Native Clan affiliated with the empire.

The Imperial Knights.

Composed of Native Heroes and knights of the empire.

Not much different from the Dragon Knight, but with a slightly stronger defensive tendency.

Representative: A short woman in golden armor.

[First Home]

A small, elite Hunter Clan.

Made up of pure Hunters, mostly close friends.

Unlike the Clans above, they have no intention of occupying Dwarfneer, so the atmosphere feels very different.

They are the only ones without a subsidiary Clan.

Representative: An ordinary woman.

“….”

Everyone has such strong personalities that it’s hard to start a conversation.

But Jang Yu-ha has just as much say as those representatives.

They are a Clan with the highest level of 81, and they also possess Awakened Ability. Moreover, Chris even showed Nuclear Fist against the Death Knight.

They couldn’t ignore a Clan made up of Awakened Ability users.

Above all, Awakened Ability basically has strong firepower, making them stronger than anyone else in group battles.

The First Home Clan is, in name and reality, the representative of the Hunter world’s Clans.

“Actually, the reason I gathered you all here isn’t about the Death Knight.”

“The person you’re fighting right now will take care of the Death Knight, so you can ignore it.”

“What I want to ask of you is…”

Even if I say that,

The representatives protested.

The [Martial Arts Alliance] representative coveted the Material item that could be obtained from the Death Knight,

The [Nokrim] representative felt the same.

The [Yggdrasil] representative wanted to raise their honor by catching the evil guy with their own hands,

And the [Dragon Knight] and [Golden Knight] also wanted the honor of catching the Death Knight.

If they don’t have something they want, there’s no reason to catch Field Monsters in the first place. Because they had something, the protest was severe.

“Even if I say we’re going to catch a bigger prey than the Death Knight? We can’t waste our strength on the Death Knight.”

“A bigger prey?”

Jang Yu-ha chose her words according to the [Premonition] from her ability.

“Raid. I found a Monster that is close to level 100.”

“There was an evil group secretly trying to conquer Dwarfneer, and the person who is hunting the Death Knight over there wants our help.”

“I heard that they have a personal grudge against the Death Knight.”

“So, can you leave the Death Knight to that person?”

Raid boss.

Level 100.

The Clan representatives couldn’t easily reveal their intentions.

“Is there any evidence?”

The [Dragon Knight] representative asked.

“It’s hard to believe without evidence.”

The [Golden Knight] representative also joined in.

“They must be evil people, right?”

The [Yggdrasil] representative raised their hostility, and the atmosphere changed.

Jang Yu-ha rode on the atmosphere of the [Yggdrasil] representative’s words.

“They are very evil devils. I can’t tell you the details unless you promise to participate in the Raid. There is a lot of sensitive information to tell you who that person is and what the Raid boss is.”

Like Amel being Anonymous.

Or the scale of the [Dream].

It was time to completely change the perception of the Succubus.

So, first reveal your intention to participate.

The Clan representatives fell into agony.

Everyone started sending messages.

The topic had already shifted from the Death Knight to the Raid boss.

I flew away.

That’s the price of using clumsy skills.

Amel used [Freeze],

And felt it after using it.

‘Let’s not use it.’

It felt like becoming an ice ability user, but it didn’t suit her constitution.

Attacks focused on ice rather gave him time to use [Sword Aura].

She used [Execution Sword] to offset the [Sword Aura], but the [Death Knight] attacked through the gap where the [Sword Aura] was offset.

[Black Sword] blocked [Dark Sword], but taking advantage of a slight confusion, she was hit in the abdomen by a flying kick and flew away.

Just as she had kicked him in the abdomen, he kicked her in the same area. It was as if she was being protested for playing with ice.

Indeed…

‘You shouldn’t do things you don’t usually do.’

She realized that fact again,

And her upper body was embedded in the cliff.

Naturally, she felt the [Death Knight]’s Electrical Signal following her, and felt [Dark Sword] heading towards her butt.

What should I do?

Electrical Ability?

[Destroying Heaven]?

It was too late no matter what she did.

Amel rotated her body 180 degrees from bottom to top, taking advantage of the rapidly decreasing inertia as she was embedded.

If she was late to pull out her body, she wrapped Magical Power around both legs while still embedded.

[Dark Sword],

With her thighs,

She grabbed it.

———She couldn’t grab it.

Rather, she pulled [Dark Sword] with her thighs to change its trajectory, and it barely grazed her lower abdomen and stuck into the cliff.

Before [Dark Sword] could escape the cliff.

With the power of Magnetic force in her feet, [Destroying Heaven Kick].

Bang!

The collapsing cliff.

She got up.

She used [Heal] to heal the leg that was deeply cut by him when she was blown away.

That guy, he was inflicting wounds that were increasingly difficult to heal with [Heal]. It was just a cut, but the recovery motion was visible.

Fortunately, she had anticipated that he would cut her leg, so it wasn’t completely cut off.

“….”

“….”

Amel smiled awkwardly.

As if to say she wouldn’t do the same thing again,

She readjusted her sword.

[Death Knight].

[Dark Sword] was surrounded by [Sword Aura].

He swung down the [Sword Aura] charged to the maximum, unleashing a rough slash.

In response, she raised [Black Sword] high and swung it down.

[Execution Sword]

The Giant Magic Sword countered the [Sword Aura].

The Magical Power that formed [Execution Sword] scattered.

The spray was finely divided into mist.

Tingle.

Electrical Ability.

Receiving the [Death Knight]’s Electrical Signal, she fired lightning bolts.

However, the [Death Knight] created a lightning rod with Magical Power to guide the lightning.

Awakened Ability users can handle the phenomena they emit like their own limbs, but Electrical Ability is tricky in that respect.

Still, she approached the [Death Knight] while constantly firing lightning bolts.

She measured the distance,

And saw an opening.

Fake.

Fake.

Fake.

He shows a gap that seems real and waits for her to attack.

I felt it from the beginning of the fight, but were you such a cautious guy?

The [Death Knight]’s swordsmanship had become gentler compared to the very aggressive beginning, and therefore more threatening.

If I go in wrong, this time my head, not my neck, will be split in two.

No matter what, if my brain is cut, I can’t resist the death sentence.

She ran to find an opening,

And attacked with Electrical Ability.

She also created [Phantom Sword].

[Phantom Sword] remained on the trajectory left by [Black Sword] during the movement and flew like a missile half a beat later.

“….”

“….”

Is it there?

Is it there?

Is it there?

Ah.

Suddenly.

She realized that she was being played by the [Death Knight].

As soon as she felt like she was on his stage, she reflexively overturned it.

Electrical Ability.

[Freeze]

Electricity containing [Frost].

It hit the [Death Knight].

It was guided and veered off to the side, hitting the water surface, but that was enough.

It froze solid.

Ice formed on the [Death Knight]’s feet.

Weak ice that couldn’t block for even a moment.

But,

Electricity.

Electricity.

Electricity.

The more she poured Electrical Ability, the more ice accumulated, and before he could shake it off, she shot Electricity to accumulate ice on the [Death Knight]’s armor.

The thickening ice becomes the [Death Knight]’s shackles.

Aren’t you coming?

Even like this?

Come on.

Provocation.

Defensive swordsmanship doesn’t suit you.

You looked happier when you swung your sword recklessly like before.

She ran,

Followed,

Patience.

The one who attacks first loses.

Fatigue accumulated during the battle.

She intuitively felt that the fatigue would determine the victory or defeat in the next development.

As the time of patience lengthened, she went into analysis moment by moment as to why.

The more tired she became, the more she pursued efficiency, and she only performed necessary tasks, becoming refined and sharp.

What you reach at the end is the realm of selflessness,

Water.

Ice.

Electricity.

Variables.

Variables caused by Amel, but unfamiliar things that were holding her back.

But that was the same for the [Death Knight].

Unconsciously, his body, tired from worrying about variables, couldn’t pursue efficiency.

He had to attack while keeping the variables in mind, which became a gap. That was true for her and the [Death Knight].

It would usually be a slight gap that wouldn’t become a gap,

But because she had been groping for the opponent’s outline while fighting, that gap was very large.

The one who attacks first loses.

Therefore,

Lightning.

[Phantom Sword].

Those two checks stimulated the [Death Knight]’s patience.

She was at least relieving it by attacking, but the [Death Knight] couldn’t.

In the first place, he likes to attack.

His swordsmanship had become defensive,

But hidden inside was a fatal sword.

It was defense for attack,

He didn’t like defense.

As if the guess was correct,

“Ha..!”

Yeah, you have to come!

The [Death Knight] changed direction.

He’s coming this way.

The [Death Knight], who had been outrunning [Phantom Sword] with speed, changed direction and knocked away [Phantom Sword].

Knocking away [Phantom Sword],

Knocking away,

Knocking away,

At that moment when he got closer.

‘I knew you’d come!’

She slashed upwards with [Destroying Heaven Sword].

A large splash of water.

A large amount of water splashed up as if all the water in the water park had gushed out.

At the same time,

Electrical Ability.

Maximum output.

Discharge.

She took out the card as prepared.

Releasing Electricity in a fleeting moment when it was difficult to even move a finger.

The Electricity flew towards the [Death Knight] and was guided around, but the Electricity containing [Frost] only froze the soaring water.

The [Death Knight], covered in water, was trapped in the ice as it was.

Crack.

It broke quickly, but

That’s enough.

The moment’s worth of time called for the completion of the technique.

[Execution Sword]

The moment the ice broke, the Giant Magic Sword struck down on the [Death Knight].
