Chapter 484
"It's interesting. If this is your 'trump card,' then let's take it head on."
He smiled wryly, shouldered his battle-axe, and twisted his upper body as if he was going to do anything to gather strength.
At the same time, the whole body of Elba is overflowing with an extraordinary and disastrous black magic power and shaking.
Nothing can be broken ...... by the power that has mastered and multiplied magic, military power, and bestiality.
The air around the area is tense as he shouts at the "spiral spear" falling from the sky.
A chill ran down my back, then he released his stored power and swung his battle-axe down.
"......⁉"
I couldn't believe my eyes.
The spiral spear "Retsubi" was stopped by the battle-axe wielded by Erba.
And a tremendous force rebounded back at me.
It is as if they are grabbing each other's hands in a push-wrestling match.
" What a guy. ....... He received that much magic with 'magic grant'⁉".
'How could he create and handle so much magic at his age? It's interesting, it's interesting. Rid Bardia. But don't think you can defeat me with this degree of power."
A change occurs in Elba's bestiality.
A disastrous black pattern appears on his golden body, he is clothed in lightning, and a new "tail" grows out of him.
"Eight tails......,"
"Hmm, don't be surprised yet."
The repulsion becomes even stronger right after his mouth twists into a smile.
I stomped my feet and put all my strength into it, but I felt like I was being outpaced by him.
, "I can't ...... lose!"
At that time, a huge explosion occurred at the spot where Elba and the spiral spear were colliding, sending a shockwave through the battlefield.
I was so desperate to push back that my legs wobbled and I couldn't stand my ground.
I was almost blown away, but Cookie, who had been behind me before I knew it, supported me along with Diana and the others.
"Thank you."
"Gah."
He gave a small nod, and with a look of anger on his face, he looked menacingly at the spot where Elba had been.
Cookie must have also sensed the presence of the disastrous guy in the smoke from the explosion.
Suddenly, he looked at his own hand that had activated the magic.
I must be getting stronger.
I've become better with Body Strengthening than when I faced the attackers and Elba in Bardia, and I'm also able to use Body Strengthening Type 2 and Body Attribute Strengthening - Rocket Fire.
But still, there is such a huge gap in ability between me and him.
"...., I will never give up."
As I muttered these words, Diana took out a "medicine" and Capella prepared a water bottle.
"Master Rid. Please drink this while you still can."
Yes.
After receiving the medicine and water, they swallowed them in one gulp.
This medicine is an improved version of the "magic power recovery medicine" and was used in the "special reinforcement training" that we did with Cross and his team.
" Ummm... ....... Thank you. , I feel a little better."
If I look around, I see that Ovelia and Mia have also regained consciousness, and they have regrouped and returned to the front line.
Kalua and the others led by Cross also seem to have no problems.
At that time, a shadow shimmered in the smoke from the explosion.
Now that's a win-win for me. But it's not quite like this yet, is it? Now, what are you going to do next to entertain me? Rid Bardia."
...... Not that I'm fighting to entertain you."
Elba maintains his eight-tailed condition and is undamaged as far as the eye can see.
The battle axe he holds in his hand also looks undamaged despite the fact that it clashed with the spiral spear and the fire.
It was an all-out blow, but it does hurt a little.
"...... change of strategy. We were going to defeat Elba if possible, but we'll try to hold him off until Father and Amon, who defeated Gareth, join us. Let's stick to an Endurance Battle."
Capella and Diana nodded their heads in a small voice and looked at Cross and Ovelia.
They seemed to have understood my intention and returned my attention.
I dare to speak out loud.
Everyone, Elba is strong. But with the heavy expenditure of magic power for beastification and body attribute reinforcement, there will eventually be a break in his margin if he continues to attack in waves. And then, Cross!"
I looked at him with a sideways glance.
You were the only one who got hit in the attack I just set up. So you will be the key to the attack. The rest of the team, including me, will be supporting Cross.
'That's a big role. I've taken on that role."
When he answered pleasantly with a smile, everyone's faces lit up. The morale of the others was boosted by the brightness of their expressions.
Cross is not a person who has been entrusted with the position of deputy commander of the Knights of Valdivia.
Even when he is not in a good position, he behaves in such a way that neither his enemies nor his allies can feel that he is in a bad position.
This area may be difficult for Rubens because he is still inexperienced.
That's why my father put the experienced Cross by my side.
'Torn by my margins ......? Interesting idea. It's a good one. I'll play with you until I'm satisfied or bored. Come on, let's have some more fun. Show me more of your power."
Elba spat out, and as if to show off his power, he released a wave of magic power around him.
The power of the wave was not as powerful as the first one.
But without a pause, "Don't be cowed! Cross said.
"No matter how powerful you are, Master Rid is right, there are limits. Let's go!"
He shouted and led Kahlua and the others to the front of the line.
"We'll follow Cross!"
I call out, and Deanna and Capella say, "Yes, sir," and activate their physical enhancements.
Cookie roars, and we run after Cross and the others.
Ovelia and the others started moving at the same time and launched a different kind of coordinated attack.
◇
I have come to understand something after fighting Elba.
When facing my spiral spear and fire with a battle axe, he said that he had 'mastered military power, magical power, and bestiality,' and there was no lie in his words.
He not only used his huge body to land destructive blows, but also his quick and lean body movements, and his outstanding technique to skillfully manipulate the battle-axe, which is difficult to handle.
He was able to use his beastification, which is supposed to consume a lot of magic power, and his physical attribute enhancement in combination to deal with all of us on his own, yet his breath was not disordered at all.
He is blessed with a good physique, talent, and amount of magical power.
A being that concentrates everything necessary for combat,......, as if he was born just to fight.
That is how I felt about Elba.
The four of us, Diana, Capella, and Cookie, attacked in tandem, but we couldn't hold back his onslaught, and Capella, Diana, and Cookie were blown away by the wave of magic power that Elba emitted.
"Everyone!"
"Don't look away. Where was your initial bravado, Rid Bardia?"
Elba's huge body unleashed a battle-axe blow, which he received with his magic sword, but the impact was too strong for him to hold his ground.
'That's all there is to it. Don't you dare to play the lame defense!'
'Aaaaaa⁉"
The next moment, I was blown away and rolled vigorously on the ground.
I got down on all fours to get up and wiped my mouth, but my sleeve was stained with blood and mud.
The taste of iron is already spreading in my mouth.
"Master Rid⁉ Deputy Commander, please take care of Master Rid. Next time, we'll be your opponents. Damn fox!'
Ovelia shouts and boldly confronts Elba.
I could faintly see Mia, Cheryl, and Scala following behind her.
"Master Rid. Are you safe?"
"Yes, I am. Thank you, Cross."
With his help, I stood up on the spot, and Deanna and the others immediately rushed over to me.
How much time has passed since the battle with Elba began?
I had a feeling that it had been a long time, but probably not that long.
We, Ovelia and the others, and Cross and the others were each in a group of four.
The three of us have been attacking Elba in waves, but we have yet to see the bottom of his power.
Cross's sword was effective against Elba, who was in the state of a seven-tailed golden fox, and it seemed to be the path to victory.
But now that he has turned into an eight-tailed fox, even Cross's sword can only inflict a light cut.
But there was still a way to win.
While Elba and we were making a big stand, the knights and warriors of both armies were continuing to stare each other down, and both sides were only slightly damaged.
If we continue the endurance war, Father and Amon will eventually defeat Gareth and come to our rescue.
Then, if we can bring the whole force to bear, we should be able to defeat even him.
Originally, the purpose of the unit I am leading is to stall Elba.
It would have been best if we could have defeated him, but I didn't expect the difference in strength to be this great.
"He's the only one who's not going to be a piece of cake.'
Just as Amon's parting words came to mind, Scala's scream echoed from the front: "C'aaaaaaah!'
I looked over and saw her being blown to where we were by Elba's attack.
"Watch out!"
I quickly ran forward and caught her with both hands as she flew with great force.
'Oh ...... thank you. Master Rid."
'No, I'm glad you're okay. Everyone get back over here and brace yourselves!"
I stood up Scala and called out to Ovelia and the others who were facing Elba, and they saw an opening and pulled back to us.
Ovelia, Cross and Diana gathered at my side.
They all had wounds all over their bodies.
, "...... Master Rid, may I have a word with you? "
"Yes,. What's wrong?"
When I nodded to Capella's whisper, a grim expression appeared on his face.
There are only a few left.
'...... I understand. Give the remainder to Cross."
He is the only one who can give Elba wounds.
Then we should make sure that Cross can take over the fight as much as possible.
Elba cowered and shook his head as Capella handed him the medicine.
"I'm tired of this. That's enough."
