Underwater.

In a space that looks like a dance hall on a luxury cruise ship, we begin our battle against a raid boss.

In the center is a giant ghost.

Around him are countless small ghosts.

--Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ......!

A great number of ghosts attacked us as if they were flying. I and Prine point our wands at them.

Exploding light!
'--Explodio!

A tremendous explosion engulfs the water. But the number of ghosts did not decrease by half, and they came this way.

Whoa!
'Aaah!

I hold Prine in my arms and protect her.

We are quickly surrounded, but it's not too surprising.

The ghosts that surround us are just beating us up.

Prine screamed, clutching her head.

I feel like I'm being smacked by a cat! It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it hurts like hell!
'I guess that's true with Prine's defense. It doesn't hurt me at all.

When I look at the status, I see that the HP is decreasing by 1 every now and then. Interesting.

'--Hole Shield!

Prine cast a spell and we were enveloped in a pale light. This neutralized the ghosts' attacks for a while.

However, there are still a lot of people wearing white cloths in front of us, and they're getting in the way.

Hah! Move out of the way!

Prine casts a photon ray and cleaves the ghosts.

I try to cut them down with my sword. But..,

Buni,

It splits in two, as if it had been cut by slime.

'It's just as you said. Physical attacks can't do it.

I've been beating them with physical weapons for a long time, so I guess I'm a natural enemy of theirs. If it's a slime type, it can be attacked with "Ki",

'[Martial arts], Kikoudan!

Bunyon,

A ghost hit by a flying chiropractor's bullet splits up. I guess it can't be done here either.

That's a crying shame for a job in the combat field! In that case--Firelight!

Bosh! The ghosts hit by the small fireball turned into mist.

It's easy to defeat a ghost with a small firelight, but the ...... problem is how many there are.

And then there's the raid boss.

What? Mr. Ra!
'You're here!

From the other side of the ghost-filled field of view, I saw a huge ghost sucking in a breath with its big mouth.

--Hyugoaaaahhhhh!

Blizzard breath!

But here, Prine's magic chanting is just in time!

'--Guardian space Seifield !

Blizzard Breath tries to freeze us, ghost by ghost.

Ouch!
Oh, no, no, no, no!

We get a little frostbite on the edges of our bodies. Thanks to Prine's magic and our protective gear, it only hurts a little.

I cast a spell.

Heal Wind!

A healing wind enveloped us and healed our wounds.

The giant ghost is sucking in its breath again, but this time it's our turn.

Fireball!

Prine casts a spell. A huge fireball is launched toward the giant ghost.

--Huugoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The giant ghost intercepts with Blizzard Breath, but it is not enough to cancel it out and the magic hits it directly.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ............!

The enemy screamed a desperate cry and vanished, turning to mist - but the little ghosts gathered in the mist.

But then the little ghosts gathered in the mist, merging into a spinning mass,

'Ha-ha-ha! See that, you little bastards!

It became a giant ghost again. He's back.

As long as there is a ghost, I am invincible! God d*mn you for forcing me into that moldy dungeon! Look, I'll kill every single adventurer you send my way!

A giant ghost that used to be the captain of a pirate ship.

We have to take them all down together. Yeah. I know.

It's in the strategy manual.
'Shut up! What information!

The giant ghost revived, and again small ghosts came out from the side.

Physical attacks don't work either! And I'm invincible! No matter how much information you have, you don't stand a chance!

'I told you before. Me and Prine are the only two who can break through. That's why we're here. --Prine!
Yes!

Prine and I both raised our wands at the same time.

''Photon ray!

We both release the same heat magic. The ghosts evaporate with a "Jubeeeeeeeee! In the blink of an eye, their numbers dwindle.



The small ghosts will not revive unless the giant ghosts die. So, we must defeat the small ghosts first.

Oh, my ghosts! You son of a b*tc*!

The panicked giant ghost took a deep breath.

--Prine!
--Yeah!

We nodded at each other with eye contact and flew apart. We were not aiming at the giant ghost, but in the direction of the small ghosts.

The giant ghost releases a blizzard breath.

The attack was shot in all directions, and it damaged us.

But at the same time, it freezes the little ghosts together.

Oh, no! No way, you guys!

Yes, it was our guidance. The captain had made the ghosts, who were his allies, disappear by himself.

I shout to the captain to make the last move.

You can't think straight for 300 years, can you! So pirates are the scum of the sea! You can go back to the bottom of the sea and get drunk on cheap booze, you piece of shit! Ah-ha-ha!'

'You little shit!

At my provocation, the giant ghost turned to look at me. Wow, what a face!

But behind him, my partner is chanting a spell.

Burn, Salamandra! Gather round and join me. Deeper, grander, more divine!

'Chipmunks...'

Fireball!

A huge fireball approaches the enemy, who turns around in surprise. It is bigger than a giant ghost. If you get hit by one like that, you'll lose everything. I don't know what would happen to me.

I watched the scene as I left the scene with the propellers of my feet fully open.

The giant ghost, the captain, screamed at me. It was not a desperate cry.

Around the enemy, something like a transparent board was stretched out.

This, somewhere... I thought to myself.

--Oh no...

The transparent boards bounced Prine's fireball off of them.

Magic reflection!

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The ball of flame that bounced back causes a huge explosion.

Prine!

I stop in my tracks and look back at Prine. But..,

Where the hell are you looking?

A huge shadow looms in front of me. I didn't realize it was Ghost's hand until after I was blown away and smashed into the wall of the dance hall.

Ggh!

A candy ball rolls in my mouth. I feel light-headed. Prine, Prine is safe! Yes, you need to recover first--!

'Don't die yet!

A big shadow again, unavoidable,

Gghhh!

He was bounced off again by the giant ghost's hand. While being blown through the water, he chants in his mouth, which tastes like blood.

'--Heal Wind!

A spell that creates a healing wind for the entire party. In the opposite direction, on the wall destroyed by the fireball, a green wind is seen rolling. Prine is healed.

She is alive. But her condition is unknown.

I am blown away and slammed against the wall. A shock hits my body, as if I could stop breathing.

Regenerate!

Casting the monk's magic again, I look in the direction where Prine is. But then a huge ghost stands in the water.

It seems that it won't let me go to Prine.

But that's a good thing. It's much better than Prine coming to finish me off now. I guess that means my provocation is working.

He is surrounded by the same transparent panels as before.

A magical reflection called "Phantasmirror".

I didn't find it in the guide. Did he not show it when he fought against the clan of heroes, or--...?

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Well, look at you, kid! After three hundred years of imprisonment, I have finally reached a higher level!

You've evolved.

But it doesn't matter.

Shut up!

Be calm at all times. That's what Diego taught us.

Even if Prine is kidnapped, even if Prine has to fight alone, even if Prine is dying.

But I charged at the ghost.

Get out of the way!

At the same time, I point my wand at him. I release a photon ray.

Ha-ha-ha! You idiot!'

It bounces back. Of course.

The calm part of my head recalls an experiment I had done last night with Prine.

It was something Prine had told me at the beginning of our adventure, when we got the mithril ore. A special technique that I was finally able to use with the help of my resident blacksmith.

--It was possible even with Prine's magic. Then I can do the same with my own magic that bounced back.



Bewing!

I caught the bounced magic with my eltral sword and gave it to him.

That's--?


--Magic sword.


With my eltral sword, which was covered with flames, at the ready, I plunged forward.

Charge!

A huge wind hole is opened in the giant ghost.

'Aghhhhhhhhhh!

I saw him try to attack me with his last stand,

'Return to the mist, Ghost. --Exorcism.

With a purification spell, I buried him.

The party list floating by my side disappears.

I win the raid battle.
