42-Episode 14 VS Kaiser Sandworm
Me, Ramsey, Krim and six of the triplets hightailed it down to Kaiser Sandworm in the Narcissus.
This time, Gradius will be away for the night.
I'm guarding Princess Fara, who was also sent down in the Narsai.
Is everything set up?
You can count on me, Mr. Magnus!
I'm gonna do the brain teaser.
It made me feel better about myself, seeing that big guy.
I was satisfied with the answers of the triplets, which seemed to resonate as they struck.
This area boss monster's
I've struggled against a powerful foe called the Bone Dragon before, but it was one level higher than that one.
Of course, I've grown up since then, but I'm still only level 36. That means the Kaiser Sandworm is even stronger than I am now.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
I don't know if I would have panicked if we'd run into them all of a sudden. This is not the case. I'll show you the wisdom and civilization of the human race.
I mean, this old man even spends his time on the road.
Krim drives the "Narsai" in a hateful manner.
During this battle, the piloting is left to her.
The closer you get to the Kaiser Sandworm, the more you notice its tremendous size.
In fact, it was so massive that if you didn't prepare yourself for it, you might start to panic.
And although the Kaiser Sandworm was so huge that it seemed to be moving slowly from a distance, the closer you get to it, the more you realize that it is moving at a pretty good speed, too. The closer you get to him, the faster you can see that he is also moving quite fast.
First of all, let's crush his legs thoroughly!
""Oh!"
Everyone responds vigorously to my command.
The Kaiser Sandworm is like a caterpillar, with many wart legs in its abdomen.
Our plan was to destroy them all with a long-range attack.
When Krim sent the Narsai into line with him, we kept our distance and never strayed far from him.
Ramsey and the triplets immediately begin sniping at it with their crossbows.
The target is so large that they are unlikely to miss.
However, because of that, the damage they can inflict is also known by attacking with the crossbow.
It's just a matter of common sense.
Naturally, we had prepared countermeasures, too. We had unearthed many ice arrows in many ancient ruins, and we were loaded with them.
With these magical arrows, even if the opponent had an unbelievable amount of HP, they could still cause damage that could not be ignored.
In addition, the ice arrows will produce a freezing bad status, slowing down the opponent's movement.
Of course, the effectiveness of the ice attribute against this desert monster was discovered in the strategy book.
"Fran Ren S.Z.E.L.!
I also fire
'GURUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!
The Kaiser Sandworm wailed for the first time.
It was a heavy, low blast that made me think that my belly was going to flip over from the bottom.
Then it lifted its upper body, just as the Kaiser Sandworm had done against the First Legion.
It slammed into the ground and generated an enormous impact.
Da(──), it's a reminder of what's left!
We're on the Narsai, the hovering carpet, and there's no way you can feel the impact of our running on the ground.
It's working! He's in pain! Let's keep it going!
Yes, Mr. Magnus!
I'll have my arrows ready!
Shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot until they run out!
The triplets are becoming more and more reliable. By working with us, their mental health has been drastically strengthened. Even if the laws of the world don't recognize them, even if we don't give them experience, they are certainly growing as people!
'Han, good cheer! But don't get cocky!
As an elder, Crim never fails to nail it.
Lately, I've come to realize, too. That this old woman's hateful talk makes sense.
And in fact, the Kaiser Sandworm, seeing that the shockwave wouldn't work, attacked me with a new one.
A number of small holes opened up in its side. It was the mouth of the stomach. Even though they were small, they were small in comparison to his massive body, and their actual size would be over a meter in diameter.
The Kaiser Sandworm exhaled from its innumerable gullets.
It wasn't just a breath. They were condensed into a cannonbreath, like a shell.
Countless wind shells were flying at us.
Don't get shaken off!
Krim steered the Narsai hard to the right and left, dodging rainstorms and flying canon breaths.
Her skill was impressive, but the Narsai's superior performance was the most important factor in her success.
The other day, Princess Farah praised the Narsai, saying, "I've never seen a hovering carpet that big.
We had also explored many ruins and had acquired a total of three hovering carpets so far.
However, they were all much smaller than the Narsai.
Therefore, I decided to sell all three to Aria to use them as transportation for the Malm Chamber of Commerce.
But before I sold them off, I had to try something.
If there are different sizes of floating carpets, one piece at a time, I wondered what the other performance would be.
For example, speed. For example, ease of maneuvering. For example, how easy it is to maneuver.
The more we experimented with such things, the more we realized that the Narsai was far superior to other hovering carpets in every respect.
The Hovering Carpet is a valuable magic item, and there are only five of them in the entire area of Rakstad. The number of magic items in the collection is unrivalled in other countries, and even the Alabana imperial family owns only four.
Even among such rare items, this "Narsai" was even more outstanding.
I couldn't help but remember the face of the original owner, a sultry, somehow bottomless, intelligent man. Narsai, how far do you owe me! I was happy to see that.
With the Narsai, we don't need to be afraid of canon breath.
Krim would be in charge of evasive maneuvers, and we would focus on fighting back.
After running out of the many ice arrows we had prepared, and when I couldn't even handle my massive amounts of MP, we finally succeeded in destroying all of the warthogs.
The Kaiser Sandworm cannot move another step, it has become a giant figurine.
I've been waiting for this moment!
I chant the spell cheerfully.
"Si tilt on noo-el!
This is a customized, heavy spell that fivefold increases the power of the spell, gives it a single attack, increases the rate of confrontation, and so on.
With the effect of the General's Ring against the Devil's Fist, you reserve and stock it in your left hand.
"-- Del Ren a franc tilt!
And then there's Wind IV, a lost magic (Lost Magic) found in an ancient ruin. That heavy customization was put on hold/stock in his right hand.
Then he put his hands together and made a clenched fist.
He raised it straight above his head.
The enormous magical power in both fists was mixed up and unleashed in a straight line toward the distant heavens.
A moment later - a point in the desert sky where there was not a single cloud shone brightly.
It was the brilliance of a star.
However, it was too tiny to be called a celestial body.
Really small, a lump of rock that even a child could hold.
Scholars and astrologers called it a "meteorite.
I invited it from far up in the heavens and sent it crashing down, aiming at the Kaiser Sandworm.
It is an impossible spell to aim and hit a meteorite with a direct hit.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
But this time is an exception. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
And the damage from a direct hit is an order of magnitude greater than any attack magic I can use right now.
It's not just a matter of time before a meteorite from the heavens crashes on the Kaiser Sandworm's back.
With a single blow, the tremendous hulking body was pierced through in an instant, drilling a large hole from its back to its belly.
Moments later, the tremendous impact from the crash turned into a wave that spread out and blew the flesh and organs from inside the Kaiser Sandworm to the outside.
The tremendous giant body was torn to shreds from the inside.
The unimaginable digits of HP became zero with a single blow, and the desert monster died out.
This is the kind of combined magic that only the magical spirit of Luna City could create.
If you look to the legends of the myths, the wind and the earth are combined in this meteo strike - and that's what the name is said to be.
The Alabana soldiers, who were in the process of retreating, all stopped to watch this great magic.
They are supposed to be intrepid soldiers who have been thoroughly trained to keep their feet moving no matter what, but this was such a shocking sight that they stopped in their tracks.
They stood there stunned, as if they had witnessed a mythical story in reality.
Just then, Princess Farah, in her own words, shouted a command.
"Praise to Magnus-dono, the demon king's avenger, for his god-like magic!
Immediately, three thousand people's cheers and praise exploded.
◇◆◇◆◇◇.
After killing the Kaiser Sandworm, my level is now 37.
It's been a long time since I defeated the Demon Fist General in Delbembro's Demon Castle, and I haven't been able to level up since.
That's right, when I defeated Tenzen-Delvembro in Laxtia's castle, I received a decent amount of experience, but I wasn't able to improve my level.
That time, using the undead Delvembro, who was four levels higher than me, had drastically reduced the amount of Experience that should have gone in.
Since we were expecting to fight in the palace, our priority was to win with as little damage as possible to our surroundings, and I think our strategy of using the undead was the right one.
However, I learned that if I wanted to improve my level efficiently, I had to think about how to fight.
Even more so now that there aren't many bosses with a higher level than me anymore.
Next to experience, it's time to check the drop items...
I wonder if those are also called loot (drop items).
Krim pointed with a dumbfounded tone.
Torn to shreds from the inside, something that hadn't been fully digested came out of the Kaiser Sandworm's belly.
To my surprise, it was an entire ancient ruin (pyramid).
That's........the ruins of Ramsey. It's considerably smaller than normal ruins, so there's no doubt about it.
Oh, you mean that monster wasn't satisfied with just the towns and villages, he even ate the ancient ruins?
Circumstantial evidence suggests otherwise.
Lucky you! That means the ruins you're after came from over there!
But you can't get a f*cking SEAL permit, Brother Rudd, can you?
Ha-ha. Then we won't have to worry about it.
Princess Fara, accompanied by her sentries and Gladius, came up to us and said.
''You are now going to explore those ancient ruins, and I am not going to see anything...''
Are you sure?
What you say, Master Magnus. I'm the one who promised to get you a "special permit" as payment for solving this case. Well, that makes it all the difference between being slow and being fast, doesn't it?
After all, this princess is intelligent and knows what she's talking about.
We decided to take her at her word.
Let's go - we're going to challenge the ruins of Ramsey!
