The view of the surroundings in my eyes distorted for a moment.
　The fierce pain I experienced for the first time since I came to this world.
　A faint overflow of crimson blood, and at the same time, that blood disappears in the darkness. Because of this, Nacht appears to have no noticeable trauma, but in reality, this is not the case.
　The pain of losing 60% of his maximum HP is indescribable, and it even felt as if his heart was being cut off with a saw.
　The damage was not confined to the body alone. The sensation of piercing the soul is eating away at the ability to think and the mind.

(-- I got a good one..........)

　You want to spit blood out of your mouth.
　You want to bend your knees and scream in pain.
　You want to lower your gaze and check on your body.
　You want to take out the recovery potion now and use it.
　But Nacht twists all those desires with uncommon will.

　Right now, even at this moment, Aisha and Shtel are watching Nacht fight, as Nacht is fighting.
　And then - oh, my God - why should I expose my impudence?
　Nacht laughs wryly, stretches his chest and opens his mouth to say that there is no damage at all.

''It's only my magic--it works, indeed.

　Nacht used the blood vein of the divine dragon to heal his wounds in an instant.
　This is a battle against a raid boss that will be a long-term battle. It's not a skill (skill) that should be used in this place.

　But Nacht can never let his beloved daughter be unsettled. The mother (Nacht), who supports Shtel's heart, cannot be allowed to bend her knees.
　Only by winning, in a calm and composed manner, as it should be, will she be able to dispel the nightmare that lives in Shtel's heart.
　For that reason, Nacht will not show a shred of weakness.

'Oh, well, well, well, that's--you've noticed--'

It's called projection skills - but it's a strange trick, what did you do?

　Hearing the stories of Sylphy and the others in the past, Nacht was always wary of their projection skills (skills).
　The projection skill is an extremely unreasonable skill (skill) that returns the damage received from the opponent directly to the opponent as well. However, the only attacks that can be projected - both physical and magical - are those that are less than the maximum attack power individually. And, of course, he will always be affected by the reduced success rate due to the level difference.

　Nacht's level is one hundred and forty-seven, and the level of the enemies Nacht knows is one hundred and twenty-five, this difference is absolute.
　Even if it was just dragon magic, it should be impossible for Nacht's dragon strike magic to bounce back.
　That's why Nacht was fighting using only these two things: the low-powered, high-volume dragon magic (Dragon Magic) and the overwhelmingly aggressive Dragon Striking Magic method.
　However, the pain that pierced his body was undoubtedly from the dragon's breath (Nachtbreath).

'Oh my, there's a magician who teaches you magician's seeds?

　It's not too much of a problem to use as a player, but when used by a raid boss with a huge amount of HP, it's honestly a foul play. There are too many different things to lose. Considering Nacht's attack power, if it's done poorly, it could even wipe out all of your HP in one hit. It's impossible for him to die instantly because he's acquired a substitute bracelet and an emergency skill (skill), but if the percentage reduction of the rejecting dragon scale (Reject Scale) hadn't been effective, the damage to his HP would have been even greater.

(-- Normally, it should be completely disabled -- the cause is definitely the unique skill (Unique Skill).

　Unique skills - the unique skills that raid bosses and some high-level field bosses possessed, all of which contained foul power. In fact, those unique skills have overturned the difference in levels between the 20+ high-level bands.

I'm not sure if it's a target expansion (extended target) or an added bonus of a penetration effect.......whatever it is, this makes it possible for me to attack without thinking. I can't............)

　I knew that he wasn't very responsive to magical warfare, but he's probably a raid boss with a special skill-specific ability. It's no wonder that he excels at handling the Death Curse (Carth of Death).

''Are you sure, sir, that you are willing to rest your hand on the attack--''
　High-flying laughter rang out.
　Flaming lightning and ice and snow coming with high speed chanting. While Nacht is thinking, he hasn't let go of his consciousness from the battlefield even for a moment.
　I'm going to be able to get out of the ice and snow territory immediately and hold out my hand to the approaching flame lightning.

"--Eliminate, the deep darkness of the primordial.

　The flaming lightning disappeared in an instant as the dark robe that enveloped Nahat expanded.

''--It's a curious technique, isn't it?
　The clown laughing at death (Rachenkroon) muttered wryly.

(--Two more times, huh?)

　The Ancient Class (Ancient Class (Ancient) equipment worn by Nacht, the Primordial Darkness, is an offensive specialized armor, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is another armor.
　Its defense is zero, and instead of completely abandoning the role of armor, it contains three special abilities. One of them is anti-annihilation, which neutralizes an enemy's attack by paying the MP required to eliminate it, and then adds the annihilated attack power to the next attack.
　It seems convenient at first glance, but there's a limit to the number of times you can do this, and if you don't use it in consultation with your MP, you'll be in for some pain later on.

''Hmmmph, you just keep running away--then how about this--the Chasing Fire Giant Bird (Chaser Phoenix)!

　When a complex and bizarre three-dimensional magic circle, so complicated that a wizard of this world would be stunned if he saw it, a firebird wrapped in red lotus appeared from the depths of the circle.
　The fire bird that flies through the sky is approaching Nahat at an extraordinary speed that lightly exceeds Mach. Nacht captured the figure in his field of vision, which was like a frame-by-frame transmission.
　Considering Nacht's movement speed, there's enough room for him to just avoid it--but

Well, it's no use, sir!

　As the fire bird circled wide, it aimed again and came closer.
　Although I had guessed it from its name, it was still a magic with tracking capabilities.

''Now, it's in the checkmate--Heavy Attack Magic--Gravity Bombardment (Gravity Blast)!
　The sound of uncontrollable laughter of amusement rang out deafeningly.
　A bird of fire approaching from behind, a bombardment of supergravity flying in to block Nacht's escape route.
　The momentary time until the retreat is blocked moment by moment and the place of escape is lost - Nacht made a decision in a thought that was accelerated to the point where it could reach thousands or tens of thousands of times.

''--The Dragon God of Mirror Crossing.''




◇




　The firebird opens its mouth wide and points its fangs at its prey. The mass of super-gravity rushes through, crushing everything as if it were blocking a place to go. Nacht, who was exposed to a pincer attack with no place to run, judged it was time to win and activated his skills (skills) without hesitation.

　At that moment, Nacht disappeared.
　That's the only way to describe it, and he wasn't able to recognize it.

''.............What?

　A fiercely chasing fire giant bird (Chaser Phoenix) with tracking capabilities should be forever chasing its prey, even if it had to repeatedly evade at high speed.
　However, the fire bird completely lost sight of its target and disappeared left and right.
　This was also possible in the game era. If the speed of the two parties, the attack launched and the target, the target, were too far apart, the tracking nature would not play a role and the magic that lost sight of the target could disappear.

''........Ridiculous!　No, that's not possible, sir.　We've lost him!　You, you, you...?

　The Raging Fire Giant Bird (Chaser Phoenix) is not a slow magic. It's a magic that has the fastest speed among the higher level magic.
　But even so, the magic still lost sight of Nacht's form.
　No, it's not just magic.
　The clown who laughs at death (Lachenclun) himself has also lost sight of Nacht.

"Where in the world did you go........!　Huh.........up!

　Laughing at the dismayed death, the clown (Lachenclun) activates his sensing skill (skill) and looks up at the sky.
　However, Nacht has already finished activating his dragon magic and the storm that descends is turning on his fangs.

''This level of magic can't possibly be understood now--!

　At the same time, the barrier released by the split and gigantic mask easily nullifies the dragon's storm, which is no less than the Spirit King's hammer, and at the same time, the death-laughing clown (Lachenclun), who weaves a counterattack spell, loses sight of Nacht - who should have been in his sight.

　He's not there.
　Even though he hadn't looked away, there was no Nacht in the sky - on the contrary, he had lost sight of it again.

''What--!　d*mn--!

　The difference in speed was overwhelming, as if they were repeatedly moving at a moment's notice.
　For the limited time of one minute, Nahat, who used the Dragon God of Mirror Crossing, which doubles his evasion power and boosts his movement speed by several orders of magnitude, is no longer reflected in anyone's eyes, and he repeatedly disappears and appears.

　From the side, it even looks like a one-sided violation.
　It's a good idea to use a low-powered magic that isn't fatal even if it bounces back, so you can't shave off that much HP even if you don't allow yourself to defend against it.

"Geez, you are such a lowlife!

　But being attacked unilaterally will be a stressful experience. Not to mention the fact that the other party is proudly claiming to look down on everything in this world and laugh at it. It is impossible for such a person not to be irritated by being looked down upon.

"You know, your back is empty--

　At the same time as the words.
　The flickering magical lights flickered deep, dark, and sinking - easily stepping into the realm of the untouchable. A supremely colored light that seemed to be an omen of doom flooded out of the forbidden realm.

'Soul magic - the darkest land of the inmates (dystopia).

　The hand of the devil, a translucent and transparent arm of misfortune that seems to be the hand of the devil, closes in as if it were being sucked in, crushing the soul.
　It is a good idea to make sure that you have the best possible chance of getting the best out of this project.

''Gu--d*mn it!

　The clown who laughs at death (Lachenclun) turns around, and in that place, Nacht is already gone.
　He takes off as soon as he gets a shot in. A thorough hit-and-away that takes advantage of the excessive speed advantage is the essence of Nacht's work.
　While hitting the magic of restraint, he adds attacks that are sure to cause damage when the time is right.
　While the time limit of one minute is running out by the minute...

"--within a few minutes!　Yes, I'm getting depressed!　Crush, abduct, crumble, and expose the corpse - gravity collapse (gravity collapses)!

　With an exasperated tone, a wide area indiscriminate destruction magic was unleashed with no aim in the stipend.
　One moment, a tiny little black dot appeared in the sky, and the next moment, everything that existed in the area was engulfed and disappeared.
　With a tremendous shockwave, the destruction spread without a sound.

(If you look at the power, it's undoubtedly first class, but - that would be a bad move.

　No matter what kind of phenomenon occurs, it is only magic - unlike the actual phenomenon that occurs, the area of effect does not expand in proportion to the power (energy).
　From outside the realm, Nacht silently watches the overwhelming destruction from outside the realm. The aftermath that cut through his cheeks faintly shook the primordial deep darkness (Darkness).

　If they cut his HP, he would use a big move, this kind of thinking was the same as when he was a raid boss.
　If this was the player, he would make the best move, namely, he would not hesitate to harden his defenses to wait for the effects of Nacht's skills (skills) to expire.
　Nacht finished collapsing and stepped into the earth that had become a giant crater.



　His voice sounds provocative while he is breathing heavily.
　The reason why there is room for a clown (Lachenclun) who is attacked in such a one-sided manner and still laughs at death is probably because of his HP advantage and projection skills (skills).

''-- Mm, I generally understand your skills (skills),''

　Nacht said quietly, but in a clear voice.

'The condition is sight, or--'

Huh!
　It's trivial to wonder if the masks have vision, but Nacht concludes that they do nonetheless.

'And by the way, I see there's a limit to the number of times you can do this.

　It returns the damage caused by the opponent's attack as it is.
　Such a skill (skill) cannot be used indiscriminately without any restrictions.
　Of course, there must be a requirement to activate it.
　The skill (skill), the Great Lying Swearing (Bat Joke), like the existing projection skills, would have to be below the maximum attack power, with a reduced success rate due to the difference in levels, plus the visualization of the surgeon would be a prerequisite for the skill (skill).

'-- You're too upset to the extent that you've lost sight of your opponent in high spirits, although if this is false information, it should be called brilliant.

　If he was a skilled player, he doubted that possibility. However, the opponent was only a monster with an action routine that existed after all.
　During the one minute of information gathering, there were three things I noticed.
　The first was how upset he was when he lost sight of Nacht's figure.
　The second was that he didn't even look at the less powerful dragon magic.
　The third was that he didn't bounce back from the lethal level of soul magic (soul magic) that he unleashed in a surprise attack.
　In conclusion, Nacht thinks that if he loses sight of the sorcerer, the enemy would not be able to bounce back the damage through projection.

'If the projection skill can be used without limit in the first place, then I should just reflect all my attacks - since I can't do that, I should think that your big lie swearing (bad joke) is as limited in use as my annihilation.

　And even if you understood that, you couldn't attack us anyway, could you?　And if you have a skill that you don't know anything about, you won't have a chance in the first place.

　Saying that, the death-laughing clown (Lachenclun) laughs high and mighty.
　The enemy's HP still has more than half of it left, partly due to the recovery skills used in places.
　On the other hand, Nacht has consumed various skills (skills), and the war of attrition seems to be a bad minute.
　But--.

What?

　Nacht responded to it with a deliberate sigh.
　An understandable dismay, that is.
　Apparently, there is a considerable difference in perception between the enemy and Nacht.

'There's nothing more boring than a magic trick with a cracked seed - in the first place, you seem to be mistaken, but we're not so naive as to challenge a fight we have no chance of winning, are we?

　In the old world, defeat meant the loss of a character - death.
　Therefore, it could be said that players were obliged to always win against the enemy (monsters).
　The fact that such a Nacht stood on the battlefield alone, leaving Levy behind and not using his subordinates, is only because he had a near hundred percent chance of winning.

What do you mean by that?

　If the enemy was powerful to Nacht - that is to say, if it was someone who was almost incomprehensible to Nacht, he would have fled with Shtel and Aisha in tow the moment he sensed its appearance.
　It's not a choice that is emotionally desirable, but Nacht would have made the decision to ruthlessly dismiss all such emotions through reason.
　When it comes to protecting what he cares about, Nacht will never hesitate.
　It was impossible for him to survive in that harsh world if he was not that keenly aware of the danger to his life.

'To put it plainly - I have two more transformations left, you know what that means?　-- I guess that's what it's called.

　Levels are a testament to the passion you've dedicated in the game, and the disparity is absolute. It doesn't matter if you're a boss monster or not, that much is true.
　Raid bosses, especially in the higher levels, are all monsters. When it comes to the 150th level, which is the best level, even if Nahat challenged them by the dozen, they were no match for him.
　However, the opposite is also true if the opponent is ten or even twenty levels below you.

''You can give up--''

　A high level player was a fierce person with a hundred battles who had defeated all kinds of monsters. And in the depths of his soul, Nacht has a clear memory of training two canst players engraved in his soul.
　That's why he's not foolish enough to start a battle he can't win.
　Nacht lowered his gaze to look down from far above and spun his words to twist all objections.

''--that you were only a target for execution from the beginning.
