◈ 391. [Side Story] Sleeping with the enemy (2)
The palace of the succubus queen is vast.
There are a total of five palace buildings surrounded by high fences and stone walls. scattered over a large area.
thud! thud! thud!
The frost giants who had entered the palace fence spread widely and began examining the palace buildings one by one.
The total number is twenty.
Twenty may seem small, but they are frost giants. It is a monster that alone has the fighting power of dozens of other monsters.
never less power. Rather, it would be correct to think that they sent a lot of troops.
thud! thud! thud… … !
Because of their large size, weight, and presence, covert maneuvers were impossible in the first place.
The frost giants continued their search, destroying the palace without hesitation. The roof of the largest building in the palace was ripped off by one of them with a swinging arm.
Seeing this, Salome’s eyes widened and she wanted to shout something, so she quickly covered her mouth.
《Oops… … !》
“Shut up, please. It’s not the timing yet.”
In any case, the frost giants eagerly searched the palace, and when Salome was nowhere to be seen, they began to spread out wider.
The scope of the search was expanded not only to the buildings, but also to the fences and stone walls – the beautifully decorated gardens.
Kwajik!
The frost giant’s wide soles crushed the marble fountains in the garden.
《Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!》
Salome twisted, almost to the point of tears, but I held on tight and didn’t let go. Stay still!
That’s how all the twenty frost giants scattered, and one of them approached the place where we were hiding.
the farthest corner of the garden. In a wide field of flowers… … !
Kwaduk!
The frost giant’s feet trampled the flowers that were in full bloom in the flower garden. It was right in front of us.
Hiding close to the flower bed, I winked at Salome, who was lying down next to me.
“now!”
“Ouch! ‘Go to sleep’!
Salome jerked her hand forward, and a stream of pink air rushed forward and swept over the frost giant’s body.
Kugung… … !
The frost giant’s eyes grew cloudy, and he immediately stopped moving. the effect kills
“Okay, one guy for now.”
“iced coffee… … aaaaa… … my, my palace… … My flower garden… … .》
Panic-stricken, Salome muttered something, but she didn’t care and looked for her next charmer.
“This guy you charmed, can move as you please, right?”
“huh… … If it’s my order, I’ll follow it for a while… … .》
“Then, lure that guy over there here. Let’s keep enchanting them one by one.”
By doing so.
《’Go to sleep’! ‘Go to sleep’-!
Succeeded in enchanting two additional Frost Giants.
The three guns were placed under Salome’s mental control.
《Hehe! Heck! I did as I was told… … !》
“No, you’re a succubus queen, but you’re panting after enchanting only three people?”
“profit! My charm is strong enough to charm any opponent, but I use a lot of energy instead… … ! I have to write while taking a break!”
Well, even in the game, this guy’s fascination had an incredibly high success rate.
No matter how high this side’s magic stat was, I always chewed it up and charmed it. Instead, the cooldown was rather long.
“Anyway, three is enough. good job.”
After speaking, I realized that I had made a mistake. Unknowingly, I had praised Salome as I would have praised her subordinates.
“uh? really? hehe, right? Did I do well?”
Salome instantly turned pale as if she had never been in tears. I clicked my tongue and looked at the remaining frost giants.
‘Seventeen.’
If you look at the numbers alone, that side is still overwhelming.
These are the three enchanted frost giants. And only Salome, who has almost no direct combat ability, and me, who have been caught in system limitations… … .
“When my men were there, it would have been worth fighting for. If I fight in such a way that I enchant the enemy captain and my subordinates enchant the enemy subordinates, then the entire enemy corps could be neutralized.”
Picking a flower in the flower garden and sticking it in my hair (crazy?) said Salome.
“But now it’s just me… … Enchanting an entire legion of enemies is hard. For a while, it’s hard to be fascinated again… … How are you going to fight, Ash?”
“I told you. Three is enough.”
Enemies are scattered all over the place.
You don’t know the situation in which your ally is enchanted.
And above all, my existence would be unexpected.
Salome, who did not know how to fight with her own abilities and used [Escape from reality], is no longer there. Because I am.
I’ve suffered greatly from this damn succubus queen in the game, and I know how to use this nightmare to be the most vicious and powerful.
“First of all, break each other.”
I ordered Salome. Send the three enchanted frost giants to the other frost giants to quietly assassinate their allies.
I pointed out one of the frost giants in the outskirts, and even specified how to kill him silently, one by one.
To be honest, I was worried that Salome would be able to control it properly as I ordered. There was no need to worry.
Concentrating to the fullest, Salome controlled the frost giant as if it were her own limbs.
The figure of her closing her eyes, moving her outstretched fingers and moving the frost giant… … She was like a puppeteer.
thud… … . thud… … . thud… … .

The frost giants were engrossed in their search, not suspecting that their comrades were approaching.
In the gap, the Enchanted-Frost Giants who approached from behind grabbed the body of their comrades from both sides and cut their necks with their swords.
Enchanting a group of 3 – The frost giants moved like one body.
I quietly picked up the body of the killed frost giant and laid it on the floor, and moved toward the next target.
“northeastward. One frost giant. looking south Deliberately approach one from the south naturally to draw attention, and the other two take a detour from the east and west to approach secretly.”
I look and watch and direct,
“Hey, wait a minute… … I’m getting confused because I’m trying to move all three at the same time… … is this an arm uh, legs? no neck? omg! see this! naturally! naturally! It’s okay, Salome! I can do it! I am Neungi Mushroom!”
… … Salome’s mouth was a bit uneasy, but his actual control worked flawlessly.
hooked!
thud… … !
Kugu Palace… … !
The trio of enchanted frost giants dutifully followed orders.
By the time the remaining frost giants noticed the change, ten frost giants had already crossed the nether.
Booooooo-!
One enraged frost giant took out a horn and blew it. The remaining seven frost giants stomped this way from all directions.
《Kyaaaaaaagh! Caught! Maybe it’s good now?!
“Calm down, Salome. Because of course that was what happened.”
Frost Giant 3 vs. 7.
Of course, this is overwhelmingly disadvantageous.
Without even mentioning Lanchester’s laws, intuitively, there is a difference in numbers in battles between entities of the same specification.
It is self-evident that at this rate, we will be terribly defeated.
‘However, there are variables.’
They are not just frost giants, they are frost giants under Salome’s control.
Frost giants possess one of the best physical abilities among monsters. They fight based on the overwhelming body specs given to them from birth.
In other words – the specs are high, but the skills and finesse are not great.
Because it is strong even without it. It has overwhelming power, but there is no need to waste time honing skills and techniques.
Even in the game, the frost giant fights with overwhelming specs, but it was implemented as having no combat skills or special abilities. Only flat, flat, flat.
If so, think of it the other way around.
If this frost giant with the same specs has skills and techniques that the other side doesn’t have.
Unlike the ignorant ones who only believe in their bodies and numbers, if there is a strategy on this side.
The numbers are enough to narrow the gap… … !
“By the three frost giants between the palace buildings! hurry!”
“Ah Okay!”
As they retreated into the narrow space between the main building and the annex of the palace, seven enemy frost giants rushed after them.
A narrow and confined battlefield is advantageous for the defender. That’s why it led me here.
Even the frost giants wouldn’t know that. However, they willingly jumped into the battlefield knowing that it was against them.
It must be that much difference in numbers and belief in one’s own specs.
But it’s a mistake.
I ordered Salome again.
“Two defend with a shield, one stabs with a sword. Rotate and repeat this sequence!”
Salome immediately took control of the three frost giants at my command.
Chi Kang!
Chanang! Kang!
The three enchanted frost giants continued to defend and attack like water.
Two raised their shields to block the enemy’s attacks, and one thrust a sword through the gap in the shield. It is as smooth as if the three of them became one body.
Are the fighting skills different?
Three people moving as one body. This is a great skill… … !
In a small space, overwhelming teamwork.
The damage from the seven attacking frost giants quickly accumulated. The dark blue blood of the frost giants was splattered on the floor.
On the other hand, these three stood firm.
After a fierce battle, the three frost giants were seriously injured, but all remained undead.
On the other hand, six of the seven frost giants fell dead.
Well done, Salome! This time, I didn’t make a sound outwardly, but only thought inwardly.
‘huh?’
But, in the corpses of those giants… … The last one was missing.
“Where did one go… … .”
Boooung-
Then the sound of the wind cutting through the air was heard.
As I looked up at the sky in a fright, the last giant fell.
It was detoured when the frontal defense was strong – not left and right or backward, but the Z axis, upwards!
Cookie light!
The huge frost giant fell while flapping its cloak, and cut off the head of this frost giant with the sword in one hand, and slashed the other frost giant’s neck bones with the shield in the other hand, pulverizing them.
《Kuh?!》
Under Salome’s control, the last enchanted frost giant pounced on him.
puck!
The attack is blocked by the shield,
hooked!
Then stabbed in the stomach by a slashed sword,
Tukan-!
They caught up at a short interval and were hit with a shield like a policeman, causing their breastbones to collapse and fall backwards.
Whoop… … .
The frost giant, who had slaughtered three of them at once, let out a short breath and glared at us.
Gorgeous armor that is distinct from other frost giants, and a helmet that resembles the wings of a bird of prey… … .
It is the Húskarl, an elite unit of the Frost Giant Corps. In fact, he is the highest-class powerhouse right below the corps commander.
“Ow sheck.”
Cancel everything you said earlier. If you become such a big player, you will become a War-Master who has mastered not only the specifications of your body, but also skills, techniques, and tactics.
“Salome! What about fascination?”
《There is still a little time left before we can write it… … !》
Holy shit! Then how do I stop him… … ?!
thud! thud! thud!
Without even a second to think about it, he rushes this way.
Physical specs, of course, and fighting skills are incomparable. The moment it reaches us, we will be torn apart.
I gritted my teeth. Are there really no other means?
‘… … wait for a sec.’
Then something flashed through my mind. I quickly looked around.
“Hey, Salome.”
“huh?”
“Did you ever try to charm me while I was sleeping?”
“uh? Hiccup, huh?”
Salome widened her eyes and started to hiccup. I asked angrily.
“Have you ever been bewitched by me! answer quickly!”
Salome, who was in tears, confessed meekly.
“That, that, I tried walking! It didn’t work! Same as before, not at all… … !》
A smirk crept across my lips.
Salome’s charm is strong enough to succeed against any high-ranking unit.
But the fact that the fascination didn’t catch on me meant that my passive skill [Indomitable Commander] was still working.
In other words, the system is blocked, but my skills are still usable.
then!
“Hey, you giant bastard!”
Even without calibration of the system.
If the skill I have is really my ability!
will be available!
I met eyes with the frost giant, Huskarl, and recalled the sensation of using the [Mystic Eye of Command]-
shouted
“Right down and stretch!”
A flash of light flashed in front of my eyes.
There were no blue interfaces, saving throw messages, or success or failure judgments that always unfolded whenever a skill was used. however.
I got a gut feeling.
This worked, my intuition!
The mana rushed out of his body, penetrated through his eyes, and… … .
slap!
The frost giant, Huskarl, who had been running with terrifying momentum, fell on the floor as if he were collapsing, then rolled on the floor and stretched out in a stance.
Quagwagua light… … !
His gigantic body collapsed the main building of the palace and dug into the building.
I laughed dejectedly at the clouds of dust rising up.
“succeded… … .”
In the meantime, I was so dependent on the system, and I was mistaken that my ability disappeared when the system disappeared.
But no.
This ability is mine. I can use it as I will without the help or correction of the system… … !
I clenched my fists.
Did you see it, system bastard? Even if there is no proof of existence or whatever, I am me.
I can still fight… … !
《My Palace!》
Then Salome’s mournful screams echoed over the ruins.
Come to think of it, that frost giant just fell and shattered the very center of the palace with great enthusiasm.
Koo goong, coo goo goong… … !
The palace, which collapsed from pillars and beams, soon began to collapse in series. Completely covering the body of the fallen frost giant beneath it.
Quagwagua light… … !
《Wowaaaaang!》
Looking at the roof of the palace sinking, Salome let out a scream mixed with tears.
To be honest, it was very nice to hear.
