Chapter 421 - 421: Rematch with “Revenant”

"Alright, let's go. A rematch is too lenient. It's trampling and annihilation."

"Yes, Master."

Gill's voice is small, but well, fine. I'm not in the mood for punishment.

Preparations are complete. Preparations to crush the "Revenant" that dirtied us for the first time and the one waiting behind it are complete. Failure? Impossible. I'll hammer in the terror of humans.

"Transport"

It was a place not much different from the previous transfer point. I immediately materialize the women.

Encounter.

We defeat these small fry without using MP. The way of fighting with zero MP consumption is to maximize the use of Akie's newly awakened skill "Aegis Heal." Defense power increases, HP doesn't decrease easily, and on top of that slight HP recovery is automatically attached. And Nanao who receives almost all of the enemy's attacks has "Counter" attached. This is also a passive skill. MP is not consumed.

Furthermore the growth of Kotori who is a priest is big.

"Prevent Infection"

A passive skill unique to priests that prevents "Infection." It prevents so-called "Infection" from being wounded by things like "Undead," "Poison Disease," "Rot Disease," "Cold," etc. With this we can basically fight high-level undead-type monsters without worrying about "Infection." There will be exceptions though.

It's not instant kill, but it could be said to be a way of fighting with actual margin.

The strikes of front-line Nanao, the slashes of Mizurii, the thrusts of Gill. All of them are originally powerful attacks. Not crushing in one hit, but in several hits the undead monsters returned their bodies to the earth. Since the worry of "Infection" disappeared, being able to put Lime in is also big. Since we don't let her use skills she just quietly punches or bumps, but she was unexpectedly dealing damage.

It took time but as planned we reached the castle gate with zero MP consumption.

"Then it's revenge."

When I pass under the castle gate we encounter.

The usual "Revenant" appeared this time from the start leading "Giant Zombie."

"You came back, human. Foolish."

As expected of a Named Master-class monster. Full of composure and looking down from above.

"Shut up, I'll kill you again."

"Fuhaha, then this time I shall kill you all. This time's escape might not succeed. Is that fine?"

"I won't, escape or anything. Just die."

Even while conversing the "Giant Zombie" approach with heavy steps.

"Multi Spell"

"Unlimited Power"

"Angel Guard"

"Demon's Luck"

"Swap of Hell"

Almost full power. I chanted the wide-area magic without sparing. The movements of the "Giant Zombie" dull with a gaku.

There Nanao immediately attacks. In addition to "Ultimate Punch" with heightened effect from "SR Ultimate Boost," my "Demon's Luck" is added, and an idiotically critical hit is smashed. In an instant the upper body of the "Giant Zombie" blows away, and only the lower body remains. That lower body takes one step and falls.

Furthermore Nanao punches the next one. That one only had the head and below the knees left. The head falls on the below-knees and becomes a joke-like object.

Yet another one.

"Imperial Slash"

Mizurii's newly added slash skill bisected the "Giant Zombie" into four in an instant.

"Gillman's Assault"

Gill's one hit easily explodes the head of the "Giant Zombie." Gill also had a reasonable amount of Allocate points compared to the others, so it's strengthened.

In no time we annihilated the five "Giant Zombie." However the "Revenant" shows no flustered appearance. The body immediately starting to glow blue is probably a resist against the "Swap of Hell" I chanted.

It makes a movement of spreading its hands again to call minions. One-trick pony. Because it's dead it doesn't evolve.

"Holy Light"

Here Kotori who is a priest chants magic. Granting of holy attribute.

Now, next. Be surprised, "Revenant."

"Wise Man's Nest"

The magic Haruki who is a magician chanted. That is originally magic for restricting the movements of underground demons. However now, Haruki's magic net cut up the bodies of the undead demons trying to appear from underground. Yes, originally it's not magic that can deal that much damage. However due to the effects of my "Demon's Luck" and Kotori's "Holy Light," the power has risen not just to 4 times but to dozens of times.

The movements of the "Revenant" become hurried. When it moves its hands busily something jumps out from its clothes. A dog?

However without even giving time to confirm what it is, Nanao crushes it with "Ultimate Punch."

"You."

A clearly frustrated voice. Serves you right.

"Bounce Back"

The "Revenant" blows away Nanao who went to punch. However Nanao rotates and lands as if nothing happened. Akie's "Aegis Heal" and my "Angel Guard" are applied. With impact magic or so it should be no damage.

"Imperial Slash"

"Gillman's Assault"

Almost simultaneous attack.

The arm the "Revenant" put out unable to endure, one falls to the ground, the other bursts.

That fallen one hand bursts with a basha, and from there something tries to appear sluggishly. Not from the ground. It comes out from its arm.

"Absolute Zero"

"Gigant Kick"

Nanao kicks the one frozen by Haruki's absolute zero magic. Something that scatters into pieces. Its true identity ends up unknown again.

"Mere humans aaah."

The "Revenant" howls and jumps out toward us.

Yes, checkmate.

"God Blessed Coffin"

Priest Kotori's sure-kill technique against undead. A glowing coffin appears in front, and the "Revenant" that jumped out is sucked into it. And the coffin closes vigorously. For an instant the coffin glows, and then disappears.

"We did it, Master."

"Complete victory."

"Even though we struggled so much it's like a lie how easy it was."

"Magnificent."

"As expected of Master."

The women praise me one after another. Good, you guys say more.

"Now, finally the main one."

"Yes, Master."

"Probably simultaneous encounters will also occur. As usual I'll leave my defense to Mizurii."

"I will protect you staking my life."

"I believe you. And if by chance the Master-class monster is not undead type we'll shift to case 2."

"Yes, Master."

So that there isn't something unexpected like last time, we have examined every possibility.

"The uncertain element is the accompanying monsters. We've set various countermeasures but let's go flexibly. Being too particular about the way of fighting is not good."

"Yes, Master."

Every time I cut my words a good response comes back. Happy. Even though "Devoted" has decreased due to rarity evolution, it doesn't feel like it at all.

"Use the trump cards without sparing when the time comes. Injury is fine but I don't want serious injury. I don't want to see it."

"Even though you said you'd cut off people's limbs."

Gill mutters small. Even Ikumi-sensei is nodding.

"Shut up, I'll really cut them."
