53-The end of great subjugation




 Estelle's bombardment has allowed her to take down quite a few of the high kobolds.
 Still, they still couldn't take down the kobolds, and her attacks were coming towards them, gradually spreading out from thin areas.
 Due to the heavy progression from the front, they are concentrating their firepower there, and they have begun to scatter as they understand that the damage from the bombing will be greater if they are hardened, and the effects from the attacks have been lost.

 In order to deal with the progress from the flank, I had me on the right side and Nolu on the left.
 I'll have Dius protect them until then, and when their numbers dwindle, I'll have him fight with them.
 I'm sure that unlike Noor, I'm not going to let my enemies slip through my fingers, so I can rest assured that Gauss-san and he will be there to protect me. There won't be any eventuality since Sisha is also there but I want them to focus on recovery.
 Until now, thanks to the girls being close by, they could cover for me even if I made a mistake, but I'm not sure if I'm okay with dealing with multiple people on my own.

'd*mn, there's too many of them!

 I was running to intercept the group coming towards me. There are countless kobolds in front of me. It's like a black wall.
 I swing a crowbar and take out several of the lead group with my invisible wind blade with a wind attack.
 And when you make contact with the group, you're immediately swallowed up by the spears on your armor from all over the place, and a crunching sound is heard. And it hurts slightly.
 In the meantime, I swing my crowbar and take down the high kobolds, but the kobolds in front of me don't diminish at all.
 

'Whoa! What, what?

 In the middle of the fight, a light suddenly gathered at me and was absorbed into my body.
 Then the pain in my whole body eased and my body felt better. Sisuha or Sumika's recovery magic, thank God.

 The tyrannical scobolts that are mixed in here and there bite my arm with bloodshot eyes, and my body wobbles as my axe hits my armor.
 Every once in a while, there's a bombing sound nearby, whether it's coming from Esther or not.
 If it was normal, I would be wishing I could go home now. Is it because of the lion's heart that he has managed to keep his mind undisturbed?

''Hah, hah, yea...''

Are you all right, Okura-dono?

Oh, thank you.

 I guess they finished processing the left one, Nol also came over here in the middle of the fight and once the battle was over.
 
 I don't have any external injuries, but my body is kind of sore from being caught up in a group and having my whole body attacked so hard.
 Since there were no more Kobolds coming towards us, me and Nol decided to go back to Dius and the others for once.

"Sorry, I let you go pretty far back, didn't I?

''Oh, well Sisha-san beat me too, so it wasn't a problem.

Hey....

'Oh, oh, no! I can't help it. I'm here. It's an act of God! And I was even recovering properly!

 I was the one who let him go behind me, but this guy did it........
 When I look at Sis-Ha, she is waving her hands in front of her chest and making excuses. What's the difference?
 Well, it's fine that they were recovering properly.

''Well, more importantly, does it feel like the first group was defeated?

'Hmmm, yes. Looks like you've cut back quite a bit, thanks to Estelle.

 At Dius' words, Miggle-chan nodded in agreement.
 It seemed that they had been able to defeat most of the kobolds in this battle, but there were still nearly a hundred of them waiting at the back of the grassland.
 The redder-than-normal tyrannical scobolts are neatly lined up at the front.
 Is that a group of nuclear demons?

They won't run into the next one, will they?

'I guess the one before was a mishmash. I think the next one is the main unit. The one in front is a subspecies of the Tyrannus Skovolt. Normally that would have been the nucleus, but the fact that they're in front of it, it looks like another demon is definitely the nucleus.

 Hmm, usually that's a nuclear demon? It seems to be pretty strong, so we'll see.

 ------Let's see.
Red Tyrannosaurus Skovolt Race: Kobold
 Level: 45
 HP: 35,000
 MP:0
 Attack Power:800
 Defensive Power:150
 Agility: 160
 Magic Resistance:0
 Intrinsic Ability: None
 Skills Madness
------ 

 Ugh, it might be a bit strong indeed....
 If it's just one of them, it's not that much, but there's about 20 of them at the front of the line alone?
 Do you want Estelle to use her skills to eradicate it all at once...? 
 No, if I do that and Esther becomes unable to fight, I won't be able to deal with it if anything happens.
 We'll just have to get her to attack normally and defeat her somehow.

"Estelle, is your MP okay? It would have been a lot of flair.

'Yes, there are potions, and then there's this one. It's not too far off.

 A bracelet with a silver ball on it, a stroke of a moon drop, and a smile on his face and says he's still fine.
 I've given most of the potions that restore MP to Esther and Sisha.
  I'm not the only one who's tired, am I?

Nole seems to be perfectly fine.

I'm more concerned about Okura-dono, though. In fact, I would like to spend a little more time with him.

It's nice of you to worry about me, but I'm fine.

Mmmm... you really have to be careful, don't you?

 He sounds quite worried, as if he's been watching the fight earlier.
 If I'm honest, I wish they were with me, but I can't even say that under these circumstances.

 We've recovered and regrouped, and we all move forward to take on the last group of people.
 Countless Kobold drop items - fangs, spears and axes - are scattered about. There were craters here and there, making it a bit tricky to advance.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

''Let's go then, yeah!

 We advanced to some extent and had everyone cast support magic again. Then, facing the last group, Esther begins her attack.
 Towards the front of the group, she shoots out the large rock that she used earlier.
 I thought it was going to be a direct hit as it was, but the Red Tyrannosaurus Skovolt caught the rock with a few of them. However, at that moment the rock explodes, spreading the damage while scattering rocks all around it.
 ........Isn't it bad that you can't even catch them? I'm really glad Estelle is my friend.

 After breaking the lead with rocks, fireballs flew one after another in the chase.
 Even so, their HP is high, so they couldn't take them down, and the red kobolds coming towards them were closing in on them.
 They have already gone mad, or maybe they are running with streaks appearing on their faces and drooling all over the place.

''Huh! Oh, shit.

 A group of people, led by the red kobold, withstood the attack from magic and advanced.
 Noor and I also went forward to intercept them, but suddenly Estelle's magic attacks stopped coming.
 When I turned around to look behind me, I saw a stray group coming back from behind. In order to deal with them, it seems that she has started attacking in a different direction.

 I turn forward and stick my crowbar into the running red kobold and it immediately falls down. It seems that Esther's bombing had already reduced her overall HP.
 Noll is also fighting a bit farther away, and I can see that he's taking them down at a speed that I can't even compare to me.
 I'm sure this will work without any support attacks. When I thought that, and I continued to beat the kobolds, I finally found myself at the far end of the group.
 At the far end were several kobolds carrying what looked like a chair and sitting on top of it was a 2-meter tall muscle-munching macho kobold. He was naked and wore a red cape and a gold crown on his head.

 It's forgivable because it's a kobold, but if it were a human, it would definitely be a problem. What were they thinking, dressing in such a perverted way?
 While fighting the Kobolds around me, I'm curious to see how the Kobold Lords in the back work, and I take out the Kobolds while keeping them in my line of sight whenever possible.
 Their status is too turbulent to see.

 By the time I'm about to finish defeating the Kobolds around me, he gets up from his chair.
 I'm going to take the golden spear from the surrounding kobolds, raise the spear to shoulder height, hold it at the ready and throw it away with my eyes.

''Whoa--blurrah!

 The thrown spear flew at me with tremendous speed while being covered in light.
 I tried to protect myself with the lid of the pot, but I couldn't get to it in time for the attack to be too sudden, and the spear pierced my armor.
 Even so, it didn't penetrate, but the momentum of the spear was lost and I was sent flying upwards.

 .........Ouch, mainly my whole body hurts. Ah, it's really good that I had new armor. There's no way I can protect myself from something that fast.
 It's like I'm flying through the air, but it would hurt if I fell, wouldn't it? Oh, I don't want to fall.

Okura-dono!

Noll...

 I was desperately fumbling with my arms and legs, trying to figure out what to do, but suddenly I didn't feel floating anymore and I felt like I was being held by my hips and legs.
 I looked in the direction of the voice to find out what was going on and saw Noll in a silver light. Apparently I'm being held by her in a princess hug.
 .........Usually it's the other way around.

''Totally, that's why I was worried about you!

Oh, uh ... thank you. Thank you.

 I landed neatly on the ground and was lowered to the ground.
 Immediately after, the light gathered around me and was absorbed into my body. It seems that Sisha and the others are doing their job properly.
 Noor says a few words after setting me down and quickly runs towards the Kobold Road.
 It looks like she's activating her silvery white Aura, so she's going to take it down before it runs out.

 When she instantly packed up to the Lord, she waved the golden spear she had thrown earlier to the side. When did she collect it?
 Five blobs of light appear in front of him, transforming into red tyrannical kobolds.
 But before the appearing red kobold can move, it is instantly slashed by the sword wielded by Nol and turns back into a particle of light again.
 It comes out and leaves immediately... I feel like I've seen a ridiculously inexcusable scene.

 And finally, it came down to a fight between the Lord and Noor........
 In the aftermath of her attack, the kobolds around her were defeated immediately even if they approached her, and the Lord, unable to keep up with the speed of her attack, was being chopped into pieces.
 His arms are cut off and his torso is covered with countless deep cuts. It seems that no matter how much of a lord she is, she was not her opponent while her skills were being activated.

 Left behind, I can only watch the situation. If I go there, she'll be in the way, and if she's not, she'll get caught up in the attack. Right now she's at a level where it's a disaster just by moving.
 For now, let's just take a look at her status before she's defeated.

 ------
Kobold Road Race:Kobold
 Level: 60
 HP: 150,000
 MP:0
 Attack Power:2500
 Defensive Power:1500
 Agility: 250
 Magic Resistance:50
 Unique Ability: Domination
 Skills: Judgment of the King, Summoning Your Attendants
------ 

 Was it the skill that summoned the Kobold earlier? The one that attacked me was the King's Justice...
 It doesn't seem to have a very high status. Compared to the state of Noor's skill use, it can't be helped but be like that.

 When I was looking at the status like that, it seems that the game has been won.
 I'm not sure if the Lord was already at his limit or not, but he got down on one knee and stabbed his spear into the ground and was holding on so he wouldn't fall. The white silver blade mercilessly cut off the head of the Lord.
 The body that lost its head fell to the ground and turned into particles of light. What's left is a golden crown, a golden spear, and a red cloak.
 ........I don't want to touch this cloak a bit.



I'll take care of it. We'll be back before you know it.

 The knoll comes back to me after I finished defeating it. He's still wearing a silvery light, but he's somewhat sluggish, as if he's thinking about what happens when the effect wears off in the future.
 I had no intention of letting him use the skill as much as possible, but since he used it for me, I have to take good care of him afterwards.
 And I'm also worried about Estelle and the others who have started fighting in the back after the straggler group came back. We decided to return to the girls as quickly as possible.

Estelle! Are you okay!

Yeah, it's not a problem. It's just that I'm a little surprised to see them coming from behind.

 It looks like they had already finished the battle. Dius and the others are all sitting down, tired and face down.

''Huh? Where's Sisha?

 I thought I had managed to get it over with, but I couldn't see one Sisha.
 When I mutter her name, Dius and Sumika-chan look up vigorously at the governor.

'Okura, what the hell is that guy? Me and Gauss couldn't handle it anymore, so I had her fight for me too...''

What the hell is she doing here? I'm definitely not a priest!

 Then they pointed to the back.
 There were the kobolds, who were fewer in number, and Sisha, who was beating them to a mess.
 She kicks me away and I see the Tyrannus Kobolds flying through the air.
 From their point of view, it seems that our party's priest was still an anomaly.

''That guy.........can't help it.

'Yes, but he was doing a decent job of recovery. Don't be mad at him.

Oh, that's the recovery guy. You'll be fine if he's just doing his job, huh?

 I was dismayed that it was no longer too customary, but Esther said that she was doing her job properly. Let's be thankful that she seems to have helped me recover after being blown up by a spear.
 Before I was about to say that, my phone vibrated in my pocket. What's the timing of this?
 When I took it out so that Dius and the others couldn't see it, I saw on the screen that the [Reward for Achieving Great Defeat ●50 Magic Stones ●SSR Cost Reduction] and [Announcement] [Commemorative Item Gacha for Achieving Great Defeat] were displayed.
