39 39. The Immortal King




"What's wrong?

 The official asks the man who suddenly appears.

"You see the cave of Payago near the city? That's where the demon ......, the Immortal King, has appeared!
"What the hell?
The adventurers who were hiding there at the time have managed to deal with it, but ...... it's out of control! Somebody help me!

 It seems to be an emergency.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
"It's a demon that appears in the caves of Payago periodically. The last time it appeared 20 years ago, 16 adventurers were killed during a quest to defeat it. For more information, please visit .......

 I see.
 According to the adventurers and guild staff, the Immortal King is a very powerful demon.
 The problem is that we don't know what kind of demon it is just by its name.

"That's right, ...... you guys! Just in time! Can you help me?

 The man turned around and looked at us.

 --Oh, I see.
 This guy .......

"Hey, Kurt.

 While I was thinking about it, Lara tugged at the hem of my dress.

"What's up?
Let's go. I'll help you.
Sure.

 Either way, I'm also worried about the demon, the Immortal King.
 Not going was not an option for me.

 I looked at Marise and she nodded with a serious face.

"Okay, ......, I understand. Please take me there.
Oh, thank you ......!

 I could feel my heart beating faster and faster.
 We hurriedly left the guild and headed for the caves of Payago.

 .

 When we arrived at the cave of Payago, where the Immortal King was said to have appeared...

"What the hell is this ......

 When I saw the Immortal King, I was so shocked that I let out a squeal.


The Skeleton King is called the Immortal King?


 A thousand years ago, the Skeleton King was the kind of monster that F-rank adventurers were happy to hunt .......
 I was excited to see what kind of powerful demons were out there, but I was disappointed.

"Reinforcements! Thank God!
"But a child? ......? Were they the only ones in the guild?

 An adventurer turns to us.
 A party of about ten.
 They've got wounds all over their bodies, and they're all wounded .......

This thing ...... regenerates no matter how many times you attack it!

 One of the adventurers shouts while looking at the Skeleton King.

 Of course it does.
 If you don't attack the Skeleton King with magic, it will come back to life again and again.

 But it seems that none of the adventurers can use magic.
 No matter how hard you wield your sword, the Skeleton King will continue to regenerate, and you will never be able to defeat it.

 The Skeleton King's attack power itself is not that great.
 But for those who can't use ...... magic, they will be killed when their endurance runs out because of the endless regeneration.
 That's probably why he was able to hold out until we came along, but couldn't get a scratch on him.

Kurt, we're in trouble! Kurt, we're in trouble!
It looks strong, but we can't just run away!
Hmm, yeah. ......
Why are you so disappointed, Kurt?

 Because you're the Skeleton King.
 In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to make use of it to get the most out of your money.
 I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

"Lara, Marlies. I'm not sure what to make of it.
"Uh-huh.
I'll do my best not to drag you down!
All right, ......, then. ......, the one I taught you in Ryobezer Forest.

 I'll tell them what the plan is.

Come on, you two!
Yes!
Yes!

 Good answer.

 I draw my sword from its sheath and head towards the Skeleton King.
 The Skeleton King was about to mow down the adventurers with the sword in his hand.
 Lara's Fire Spear pierced the Skeleton King.

"GOOOOOOO!



 The Skeleton King let out a cry of grief.

"Okay, that's it. Lara!

 But it wasn't powerful enough.
 The Skeleton King looked at us slowly.

 ...... worked.
 I don't expect you to take him out with just one shot.
 I was just trying to get his attention.

 The Skeleton King swung his sword at me, and I fought him off with one hand.

"Marries! Come on!
"Yes!

 A fire spear shoots from Marise's hand.
 It's happening in my blind spot, but since I'm using ...... detection magic, I don't need to see it.

 The Skeleton King moves away from me once to avoid the Fire Spear.
 But ...... Marise's fire spear changed direction and moved to track him.

"Stick it in!

 Marise shouted, as if she were absorbed in the action.

 Boom-boom-boom!
 The Fire Spear with the tracking function hit the Skeleton King.
 But ...... it's not as powerful as it could be, probably because it was concentrating on adding the tracking function.

That's enough.

 He was frightened for a moment and lost his stance.
 It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

 Of course, I've added [Sharpening] and [Magic Strike] to the sword.
 If the sword has magic in it, it can defeat the Skeleton King.

 A flash.
 The bones that made up the body broke apart, and the Skeleton King stopped moving.


"Oh, ......! You've defeated the Immortal King!
And it's just a kid. What the hell is going on?


 Seeing this, the cave suddenly comes alive.

Oh, .......
Kurt. Why are you so depressed?

 I thought it was a strong demon, but it was only a skeleton king.
 I let out a sigh and put my sword back in its sheath.

"Oh, hey! What kind of adventurers are you? I've never seen you in Sifreya. ......

 One of the adventurers came running up to me and asked me a question.

"King's Landing.
"King's Landing! I knew there were great adventurers in King's Landing!
No, ...... isn't really an adventurer.
What?
I'm a student at the Academy of Magic.

 I'll show you my student ID.

You're a student? A student who just defeated the Immortal King?

 Seeing this, the adventurer was even more surprised.

"It's not that big of a deal. It's not that big of a deal. As long as you can use magic, you can defeat him by yourself.
"Of course not! And isn't magic something that only a few talented people can use? There's no way I can use it. ......

 The adventurer's shoulders slumped.

 Now, ......, we've defeated the first demon.
 You'll be able to find a lot more information on this site.

"What's wrong, Kurt?

 I'm not going to answer Lara's question, but I'm going to walk towards it.

I'm not sure what to say. What is it?

 That guy was the adventurer who had led us here.

I'll let you off the hook for now.
What do you mean?
What the hell are you up to?
What the hell are you talking about? I'm not...
"......

 I was just about to say that, when I unleashed my Fire Spear at close range and pierced his chest.

"Hey, Kurt!
What are you thinking about?

 What are you thinking?" The two rushed over.
 But...


"How did you know that? ......


What?

 Lara sees this and rolls her eyes.

 The man whose chest was pierced by my magic.
 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.



It was obvious from the start.

 I let out a sigh.
 The demon's body slowly fell to the ground.
