Chapter 69.2: Emergency Call (4)
The place they moved to from the conference hall was a gigantic gymnasium on the other side of Overlord Castle. At first glance, it appeared to be several hundred meters in diameter.
The Thunder Lord and I stood facing each other at a reasonable distance in the middle of the arena, while the other Lords stood around watching the spectacle.
Tsutsutsu
Blue sparks erupted all over the Thunder Lord’s body.
There was no need to delay, and she was ready to start the duel right away.
“It’s still not too late, so it doesn’t matter if you change the conditions, Seventh Lord.”
I folded my arms without answering her words, which seemed to be mixed with a little sneer.
She looked at me with contemptuous eyes and smirked, raising her energy even more.
Tsutsutsu.
Soon, a blue figure like a giant eagle appeared above her head.
I knew what that was. Kogos, one of the many Thunder Spirits who made a contract with her.
Was that spirit about in the middle of all her spirits?
It didn’t look like she was going to come out with all her might from the start.
As I watched the surrounding thunderbolts grow stronger and stronger, I leisurely spread the floating veil.
The eagle spirit that flapped its wings once flew towards me with its mighty thunderbolts wrapped around it.
A thunderbolt exploded, and for a moment, it dyed my vision with a pure blue light.
However, the eagle was completely blocked by the veil and vanished in vain, giving no damage.
I removed the veil and looked at the Thunder Lord.
With her hands removed, she said, narrowing her eyes.
“Now, this is the true start.”
Quarreung!
The next form that appeared along with the ferocious thunder… Pegasus?
It was a horse with a pair of wings on its back and huge horns on its head.
Is the name Requisacron?
There were so many spirits that the Second Lord had a contract with, so I could only remember some vague names.
Still, I knew it was the closest to the highest spirit among the spirits of the Thunder Lord.
The lightning that spread around her became much stronger than before.
It engulfed the Thunder Lord that I could barely see her form.
There was only a confident smile on her lips.
Tsutsustu!
An energy in the form of a sphere gathered at the tip of the spirit’s horn.
I took a breath and opened the floating veil once more.
Soon, a flash of light exploded from the massive sphere, and at the same time, a formidable thunderbolt rushed in.
My vision was dyed with a much stronger light than before, but this time, too, it was not enough to cause damage.
Shoo woo.
I removed my veil and looked around the ruins.
I hadn’t even exerted my power yet. Was this enough?
Inwardly admiring, I shifted my gaze to the Thunder Lord again.
She also seemed a little embarrassed this time.
Even though she had done this far, she hadn’t been able to scorch even a single trace of my clothes, so that’s understandable.
“Now there is only one left.”
At my words, she bit her lower lip.
“···At least you seemed to have a slight ability to back-up your words.”
Her hair slowly rose upwards.
And a powerful energy that could not even be compared with the two spirits just before blew like a storm.
Kwurrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!
The Thunder Lord was so strong that it covered the whole area with blue light. I could not see the surroundings at all, as if trapped in a barrier.
I felt a tingling sensation all over my body and stared blankly at the humanoid spirit that appeared in the air like a giant.
Finally, she took it out.
The strongest thunder spirit she possessed, Laxia.
An elongated spear was formed in the giant’s hands, and energy slowly gathered together.
The giant held the spear in the opposite direction and aimed it as if it was about to throw the huge spear directly at me.
The same technique that was the ultimate skill of the Thunder Lord in the game.
Wait a minute, this…
As I opened the floating veil, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of creepiness.
Is it impossible to stop it?
In the first place, I didn’t even think that I was going to lose.
No matter how powerful the attack was in the game, there was no attack that could break through the floating veil, which was an invincible defender.
…But seeing this in person was no joke.
Moreover, the ultimate skill of the Thunder Lord was an instant death attack that inflicted fixed damage in the game, so I had no choice but to feel threatened.
Anxiety arose in my mind as to whether the floating veil would break.
“Come on, stop this without avoiding it!”
The Thunder Lord shouted like that and stretched out her hand.
In the end, I chose my instincts. I removed the veil and used blood magic.
Drops of blood flew towards Laxia, who was about to throw the spear, and as soon as it touched the spirit, it burned and disappeared in an instant.
coo coo.
And like that, along with the drops of blood, Laxia also disappeared in an instant, as well as the huge energy surrounding it.
“···Huh?”
The Thunder Lord, who was about to launch an attack with great force, uttered a confused voice.
