◈ 376. [STAGE 15] Commander duel
Just now.
Chaeeng!
Tsukaak-!
Carly-Alexandre and my catchers were firing at each other.
The Goblin God King continued the battle, maintaining his antagonism despite the situation of 5 to 1.
No matter how weak the goblin is, it is definitely the commander of the boss stage.
It would be difficult to deal with a single party composed of captured monsters that are weaker than human heroes.
However, I had already planned how to attack Kali-Alexandre.
Because it’s an opponent I’ve knocked down over and over again in the game.
‘Kali-Alexandre’s magical and long-distance nullification abilities did not originate from him.’
It’s an effect that comes from the legendary weapon he’s wearing – armor and cape.
In short, in other words.
If only the armor and cloak are damaged, magic and ranged attacks become possible… … !
Taat!
My captured monster, the Skeleton Knight, and the Scorpion Warrior charged at the same time from the left and right.
《Huh!》
Carly-Alexandre sprayed the scimitar left and right like a beam of light, shattering the skeleton’s neck and crushing the scorpion’s upper skin.
But there is a gap.
Chew-!
The Troll Royal Guard, who entered from behind, attacked Kali-Alexandre from the rear.
Even letting go of the weapon, the troll spread its arms wide and grabbed the goblin god king and rolled on the floor.
Carly-Alexandre slammed the scimitar down several times, but the brawny troll withstood the blow.
In the gap, Skeleton and Scorpion grabbed their weapons and charged.
《Kuh?!》
Carly-Alexandre twisted to avoid the attack, but he wasn’t the target of my captors in the first place. It was the cloak he was wearing.
Boo-wook!
The cloak is torn.
The blessing of the long-range attack disappeared, and a magical shield was seen peeling off the body of the Goblin God King.
“Well done, Gansonmi Trio!”
As soon as I could congratulate them, Kali-Alexandre’s scimitar swung ferociously and tore the three captors apart.
But there was no time to look at the situation. You should move on to the next phase tactic right away.
“Come on, newcomer!”
As soon as my order was given, the Hawkbear Assassin, who had been hiding for a while, fell in the dark.
Whoa-!
The huge beast with the head of a bird of prey and the body of a bear, but also with wings under its arms, descended on the Goblin God King as it was.
The mission I entrusted to the Hawkbear Assassin is to destroy Kali-Alexandre’s armor.
Patter!
Blade-like feathers shot from the entire body of the Hawkbear Assassin like a secret spell. It’s a feather, right? Each one is as powerful as a throwing dagger.
Kali-Alexandre, who has usually destroyed long-distance attacks with the ability of her cloak.
Now that the cloak is damaged, can it really cope with the pouring ranged attacks?
visor! Chae-chae-chae-!
… … coped
Carly-Alexandre deftly swung the scimitar and deflected most of the feathers. Undoubtedly, he was a master of the sword.
However, defense with a sword has clear limits.
《Ugh… … !》
A few feathers that were not able to bounce off were lodged all over the goblin god king’s body, and a faint moan escaped from his mask.
At the same time, the giant Hawkbear Assassin attacked Carly-Alexandre.
Hawkbear roared like a beast and swung his arms wildly, and the Goblin God King entangled with him and wildly swung his sword.
The two beasts tumbled across the floor several times, firing at each other, and-
Fu-wook!
In the end, it was Carly-Alexander who won.
He thrust the sword into the Hawkbear Assassin’s throat, and while arranging his breathing, he pushed the Hawkbear’s body aside.
Now that all the captured monsters have fallen and there are no more summons to take out, who will stab the enemy general’s neck with a sword?
“grow.”
I muttered as I fixed the [Gablisk] dagger.
“I am.”
As I poised to charge, preparing for battle, Carly-Alexandre, the scimitar slung over her shoulder, burst out laughing.
“You don’t look very good at fighting, Ash? Are you okay?”
“My men always worry.”
I smiled face to face.
“The fact that a group of commanders directly go to the forefront is romantic, but it is far from efficient.”
Have you heard similar nagging because you are in a similar situation? The goblin god king laughed again.
With a smirk, I murmured in a low voice.
“But, the Goblin God King. You know what?”
“hmm? What do you mean?”
“I only fight fights with a chance.”
I glanced at Carly-Alexandre’s left arm.

“you. Can’t use your left arm right now?”
《… … !》
The Goblin God King’s shoulders trembled. It seems to be right.
He covered his left arm with a cloak from the time he came to the meeting, but he did not move his left arm throughout the battle.
No matter how urgent the situation, he fought with only his right arm. I don’t know why, but it looks like it’s paralyzed.
Every nightmare corps commander has a kind of deadly skill that can be called a statement season.
Carly-Alexandre is no exception.
While defending and holding back with the scimitar in his right hand, his deadly pattern is to pierce the opponent’s neck at once with the assassination sword hidden in the wrist of his left arm.
But if you can’t use your left arm… … .
‘A boss monster with a sealed special move?’
… … The number of patterns to deal with is drastically reduced.
In other words, it fell within the range of my strategy!
“A duel between commanders is absurdly outdated, but… … .”
Taat!
I ran into the guy’s face.
“Well, this must be romantic in its own way!”
Of course, there is no romance in battle.
Battles for life and death are filthy and sloppy. The more you kill, the stronger you become.
And, the strong survive.
Flash!
As I stepped into the gap, Carly-Alexandre immediately swung her scimitar.
But expected.
Why did I keep falling behind and just watching?
‘I’m done figuring out the pattern!’
Carly-Alexander is a skilled fighter.
And mastery, in other words, means getting used to repetition too much.
‘Contain the approaching opponent with a scimitar. mainly horizontal weaving. What I’m aiming for is this side of the field of vision – the eye side.’
As expected, his sword shot flew toward my face.
“I was aiming for this!”
With my left hand, I pulled out the [Agathe] pistol that was strapped to my waist and fired.
Towards the scimitar flying into my face!
Taaang!
The fired magic bullet collided with the scimitar, and at the same time.
Chaeeng-!
《Kuh… … ?!”
Carly-Alexandre’s scimitar jerked back.
[Agate] is a horse gun that has low damage, but has a knockback function as a special ability.
I have the ability to bounce enemies that approach me within 3m by more than 3m.
This ability applied to objects as well as enemies, and succeeded in completely pushing away Kali-Alexandre’s sword.
The right arm holding the scimitar jerked back, and the left arm was unable to move.
In other words, his guard is empty now!
‘Put an end to it!’
Taang! Taaang-!
I fired two more shots in quick succession. Aiming for his armor.
Tuhak! Tuhak-!
《Keuuuugh!》
“… … !”
However, Carly-Alexandre put her left arm forward and deflected the bullet.
Blood spurted from his forearm and a moan of pain escaped his mouth.
Rather than let his armor be damaged, he would rather have held out his left arm, which he could not use anyway, to catch the bullet. It’s okay to make such crazy judgments!
‘But the knockback works!’
[Agathe]’s knockback effect was activated again because it was in close proximity, and Kali-Alexandre fell helplessly backwards, crashing into a wall and collapsing to the floor.
I just crushed him, rode him on his chest, and trampled his right arm with my foot, immobilizing him.
At the same time, gather the dagger [Gablisk] with both hands and slash it down-
《-You got caught, Ash.》
That moment,
Flash!
Metal light rushed in front of my eyes.
It was Carly-Alexandre’s left hand. It was the left arm that did not move throughout the battle, and even got hit by two magic bullets and became a rag.
That arm, which I thought was definitely immobile, was now vigorously stretching forward— activating the assassination sword on my wrist, stabbing me right in front of my eyes.
Only then did I realize
It was all fake.
The fact that he didn’t move his left arm throughout the battle, and the fact that he groaned loudly after being hit by a magic bullet on purpose.
It was a groundwork to strongly hint to me that he couldn’t use his left arm.
All for this one moment’s death… … !
‘Damn it.’
Looking at the assassin sword approaching, I laughed dejectedly in the world that had slowed down for an instant.
‘I got hit right.’
And, the next moment.
rattle!
Right in front of my eyes, the assassin’s blade stopped.
Carly-Alexandre’s entire left arm stiffened as if the brakes had been applied.
Even prepared to die in an instant, I looked down at him curiously.
“This… … .》
Metal spikes protruded from the entire left arm of the Goblin God King.
It was as if a mine planted inside had exploded, bursting out from within his left arm.
Callie-Alexandre muttered bitterly.
《… … You got it right.”
And I knew very well whose workmanship these metal thorns were.
“-Thank you, God Hand.”
this is,
It’s a victory you made.
While muttering, I threw the [Gablisk] down with all my might.
Pooh-!
The dagger lodged itself in the chest of the goblin god-king. and,
Chow ah!
With all my strength, I tore the seams of his armor apart.
***
Carly-Alexandre was a miserable figure.
He lost his cloak and armor, his left arm was torn off, and a long cut with [Gablisk] was left on his chest.
He leaned against the wall of the gray fortress and coughed up blood.
《… … Something was strange from the beginning.”
But still, he muttered in a calm voice.
《At the point of isolating me, there must have been many ways to kill me… … Why would you bother disarming my equipment one by one?”
“… … .”
“okay. Why did you go through such a complicated process… … .》
Carly-Alexandre slowly raised her head to stare at me.
《… … It was to control my mind.”
Now I’m standing in front of him using the [Mystic Eye of Command]. has already taken effect.
Now that all equipment has been lost, Kali-Alexandre’s stats are slightly superior to those of Goblin even with boss correction.
All stats are low, but especially the magic stat is low.
It means that after my 2nd skill [Mystic Eye of Command], I was exposed to my 3rd skill [Be mine!] combo.
“You said you wanted to be born as a human, Carly-Alexandre.”
I muttered softly.
“I’ll make it for you.”
“what… … ?》
“It’s me who decides who’s human here on the front lines.”
I nodded at Carly-Alexandre, who was perplexed.
“Come under me. And cooperate to protect royalties. Defeat your minions, and join me in defeating the Nightmare Beneath the Lake.”
《… … .》
“Then you… … No, I will recognize both you and your Legion as my allies.”
Beneath the mask, the monster’s red eyes shook in bewilderment.
I chuckled.
“Well, you don’t have the right to refuse in the first place.”
slap!
Arms stretched forward, gathering mana-
“Goblin God King!”
I sentenced
“Be mine!”
