26 Episode 26




 The three girl heroes, who were batoned by me, look towards the back of the hall, weapons at the ready.

"Okay, let's do this.

"Yeah. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm sure you'll have a great time. ...... I don't want to work, but I have to.

 The three of us are looking at an orc that has been kicked by me and is standing up, glaring hatefully at us, covered in black miasma.

 Incidentally, monsters that have become Demon Lords only try to subdue their opponents with violence in battle, and I have never seen a Demon Lord flee or surrender.

 It is an anomaly that the desire for violence, domination, and conquest exceeds the survival instinct.
 This is also one of the characteristics of the Demon Lord.

 While watching the Oak Lord, Rio said to his sisters.

You'll be able to use the same method as you did with the orc guards at the cave entrance, right? We'll hit them with our best moves and blow them up!

"Yeah, it's the only way.

I want to learn more tricks. I'd like to learn more tricks, but there's no point in begging for what we don't have right now." ......

 The girls nodded at each other.
 And then...

"Let's go! You two, I've got your back!

 Rio ran towards the orc lord.

 But Rio is not going straight.

 As was the case when he dealt with the sentry orcs at the cave entrance, he cut in at an angle in a gentle arc so as not to interfere with Iris and Maifa's remote attacks.

 This was also Rio's sense.
 I didn't teach him anything in particular, but he knows how to fight with an outstanding sense of combat.

 It was Iris who attacked first, using the line of fire that Rio had opened up.

"Let's go!

 Iris released an arrow from her shortbow.

 The arrow shot straight at Oaklord, cutting through the wind, but...

 I'm not sure what to do.
 It's an agile move that's hard to imagine from his massive, blunt body.

 The arrow that Iris fired flew through the air and struck the wall of the cave at the far end.
 The orc lord smirked.

"Oh no, ......? It was blocked!

But still... [Firebolt]!

 And then Maifa unleashes a magical follow-up attack.

 The two fireballs that were created in the air near Maifa shot out as two flaming arrows, closing in on Oaklord.

 The orc lord jumped to the side with considerable reaction speed and tried to dodge them as well.

 However, the [Fire Bolt] has a slow tracking ability.
 The Orc Lord's agile evasive maneuvers caused one of the arrows to miss, but the other one hit him directly.

 But...

"...... doesn't work very well.

 Meifa's voice sounded a little frustrated when she saw the result.

 The miasma barrier that covered the orc lord's body drowned out most of the flames, and it did not seem to have done much damage to the body.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

 Rio cut in there.
 The orc lord took the opportunity to respond to Maifa's magic attack and dove into her pocket...

...[Two-stage cut]!

 Rio struck with his signature series of attacks.
 Both of the two hits caught the orc lord cleanly in the torso.

 But...

 ...Garrick, Garrick!
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"What the ......! It's so hard!

 The miasma barrier of the Demon Lord and the hardness of the skin give the Oaklord a high level of defense.
 It seems that Rio's attack power can't easily break through.

 Rio hurriedly backstepped and tried to get out of the way of the Orc Lord.
 But...

"......!

 The orc lord chased after Rio furiously.
 The speed of the Orclord was on a different level than that of a normal Orc.

 The orc lord smirked and swung his club sideways.
 With a roar, he struck Rio with a massive club blow.

"d*mn ......!

 You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web at the moment.
 He also leaps backwards in a flash.

 Rio's body was blown away.

"Ohhhhh!

"Hey, Rio ...... ugh!

 You can find a lot more information on the web.
 The two are intertwined and rolling around on the ground.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. But Maifa caught it, so it didn't hurt as much.

That's what ...... hurts me. ...... Also, Rio, you're heavy, get out of the way ...... quickly.

Oh, sorry, sorry. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

...... Pisses me off. Where do you put your hands when you say that?



Hey, you two! This is no time to be playing around!

 In response to Iris' reprimand, Rio and Maifa stand up, smiling.

 It's a great way to get to know the people in your area.

 Hmm .......
 I'm not sure what to make of this.

 No, the attack power of orc lords is supposed to be pretty bad, though.

 If you're not sure what you're looking for, you might want to check out this website.

 But thanks to Rio's bravery as a hero, as well as his ability to jump backwards to escape the impact, it seems that the damage was not severe.

 From the looks of it, it's going to be okay to just watch them like this, but...
 But I guess I should ask them about it.

"Hey you three, are you okay? I'll take over if you give up.

"Heh, this is nothing to worry about, bro.

...... We're going to have to fight back. ...... I'll hate your brother if he takes over here.

Sir, don't worry. I've got it all figured out. I think I can beat that.

 Rio, Maifa, and Iris all replied with encouraging words.
 Well, it looks like our teacher is no longer in charge.

"Okay... try it then.

""Yes!"

 The three of them replied cheerfully and dispersed.

 Rio is also running towards the Oak Road.

 In the meantime, Iris and Maifa nodded at each other and began to prepare their bows and magic in time.

"Ha!

 Iris shoots an arrow from her drawn bow.
 The orc lord smirked and dodged it as he had done before...

"...... I was waiting for that... [Firebolt]!

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
 I'm not sure what to do.

I can't believe it.

 And then...

 It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

 I see.
 By matching the timing of their attacks perfectly, they made sure that Meifa's [Firebolt] would hit the Oaklord the moment he took evasive action against Iris's arrow.

 Using Iris's arrow as a decoy, Meifa's magic is the real deal.
 They played in tandem to inflict more damage on the Orc Lord than before.

 Still, of course, the miasma barrier prevented him from doing much damage, but...

"Wow, it's still hard, even with .......

"......Yeah, it's not that it doesn't work at all. ...... If you can't do a lot of damage with one shot, just do a lot of shots to do a lot of damage.

 Iris and Maifa begin to prepare for the attack again.
 Okay, that's it.

 Even if you can't do a lot of damage with one hit, don't be discouraged and attack as many times as you can.
 It's a necessary way of thinking to defeat a demon lord.

 Monsters that have been transformed into demon kings have increased attack power, defense power, and agility, but the most remarkable thing is the increase in defense power.

 In addition to simply becoming harder, the miasma is also said to have the power to mitigate shock and reduce damage by a certain percentage.

 Therefore, the hero must attack again and again until the Demon Lord is defeated.
 You can't be a hero if your heart is broken because each blow is not effective.

 And then there's Rio.

 You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their lives.

 In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.
 It is not a [two-step cut], but the glow of another skill she has mastered...

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this...

 Zha Shaa!
 It's a great way to make sure you don't get caught in the middle of the action.

 You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

 The 【Two-Step Cut】, in which the power of each strike is slightly reduced instead of launching a series of strikes, is useful for everyday use, but when you encounter an enemy with high defense, you are instantly out of your depth.

 On the other hand, 【Smash】 is a technique that unleashes a single but powerful attack.
 On the other hand, the【Smash】is a technique that delivers a single but powerful blow, and is more effective than the【Nidanbiri】against enemies with high defense.

 Of course, it's not a fatal blow, but it's not so small as to be a scratch.

"Oops, it went through!

 Rio's voice sounded happy.

 But he was not proud.
 Rio quickly turned around and backstepped to avoid a clubbing blow that was swung in the dark.

 And then another blow, a club that the orc lord swung from above his head with great force to crush the little hero...

I think what my brother was doing was... like this!

 And then...
 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 When I saw it, I said...

"Oh my god, ......?

 I couldn't hide my surprise and muttered to myself.

 That was, no matter how you look at it, a [Paris] move.
 I'm sure it's a skill I haven't taught Rio yet.

 No way...
 You're saying that you stole my moves just by watching me fight earlier?

 Of course, it's not a perfect reproduction, but just the fact that you've suddenly mastered it at a practical level is not enough to make sense.


 I mean, I really don't get it.

 And if Oaklord only cared about Rio...

"Demon Lord... your back's not home!

"......, you'd better stay that way... [Firebolt]!

"G-G-GOOOOOOOOOOO!

 In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

 The Oaklord screams in agony and flails about, but Rio carefully watches and avoids it.

 Seeing this, I thought to myself.
 ...... Oh, well, I guess the game is over.

 So, I went into a mode where I could rest easy and watch my students go about their business.

 The onslaught of Rio, Iris, and Maifa continues to take its toll on Oaklord.

 On the other hand, Oaklord's attacks could not catch Rio easily, and even if the attacks hit him occasionally, Iris would heal him with [Heal Water] if the damage to Rio was too much.

 The battle was prolonged to some extent, but eventually the Oak Lord's life force ran out.
 The Demon Lord, who had been subjected to the onslaught of the three of them, made a thudding sound and finally collapsed.

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so excited about this.  

"Hah, hah, hah ...... finally ...... defeated .......

I'm tired .......

"I don't want to work at ...... anymore .......

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

 I walked up to these students and gave them a word of appreciation.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

 When I say this, they smile a little and all give me the V sign as if they were in agreement.

 I thought to myself, "My students are the cutest no matter what they do.
