Chapter 22: I'm sorry to slip my hands

An intricate array of magic suddenly appeared on the snow-white earth, two white lights streaked through the void, and Akai and I appeared about a kilometer away from the scene of the explosion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was still a slight tremor under his feet, and it could be seen that the power of the serial explosion of so many industrial explosives was so strong, and the aftermath could reach so far away.

"Hmm・・・・・・"

As soon as he appeared from the void, Akai couldn't help but squint his eyes when facing a biting cold wind, and then quickly put his hood on.

The location where we appeared was a hilltop from which we could see the whole of the old royal city.

"It feels like the wind is getting stronger, huh?!" Just as I was about to say something, my surroundings drew my attention.

"This is ・・・・・・"

Akai looked around, and the only thing that stood out was a stele-like existence.

In this cold and snowy climate, the land was covered with ice and snow, but the stone monument remained intact around it, and the bare soil was not covered by heavy snow.

I frowned and walked quickly to the stele.

There seemed to be some handwriting on it, but it was blurred. It can be seen that this stone monument, which is about two meters high, has a long history, and it is a miracle that it has been preserved to this point in such an environment.

I wiped my glasses, which had been fogged by the frost, and put them back on, reaching out my hand, the elemental wind wrapping around the stele.

The gentle wind carefully cleaned the ancient stone tablet, and the notches on it gradually became clearer.

"Whew, I see."

Looking at the stele in front of me, my memory came back from the depths, and I took a deep breath, and I already understood what this meant.

Akai saw it too, and silently walked to my side, then bent down.

My mentor, the one who led me to lay my roots in the path of demons, rested here and looked at the royal city for thousands of years.

"Now that I think about it, time flies, and it's already like this in a blink of an eye." I looked up at the dim sky, and after a moment of silence, I took sake from my backpack and carefully sprinkled it on the stele.

At this moment, Akai and I really realized the helplessness of becoming an immortal. As guardians of order and peace, it is inevitable that we will receive many commissions from different worlds in the future. While dealing with these things, we will inevitably make friends with all kinds of beings. It's fine if everyone is immortal, but given the abominable longevity theory and helpless fatalism, it means that many times we need to see the identity of the other person if we want to make friends.

After all, we don't want to spend hundreds or even thousands of years in the future, and when we suddenly want to catch up with our friends, we find that the other party has become tombstone loess.

For a while, there was only the sound of the cold wind whistling between heaven and earth.

・・・・・・

"The explosions seem to have stopped." Opening his eyes, Akai said to me.

Hearing this, I stood up from the half-crouching state and nodded to Akai, "Well, I know, wait for me, and then we'll go over and see how Skeletron is doing." ”

Then I stretched out my palm, and after the torrent of elements, the stele became extremely smooth again. After that, I re-engraved the epitaph on it.

I'd love to stay a little longer, but it's not a long time to stay.

"The teacher is resting here, and we don't want to disturb it much, this time we came just to overtake the undead."

Turning around, the complex magic array reappeared. Our figures disappeared in front of the rejuvenated stone monument.

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

The inside of the dilapidated palace of the royal city was bombed by a large number of industrial explosives, and the palace finally could no longer withstand it, except for some remnants of the surrounding walls, the rest including the ceiling were all blown to pieces.

On the floor of the palace, a large and deep pit leads to the ground.

I looked at the bottomless cave that had been blown up by industrial explosives, and asked Akai with a slight black line: "It's a bit deep, how much explosives did you use?" ”

Akai touched his nose, "Well, there's about a group, well, sixty-four industrial explosives・・・・・・"

"・・・・・・" Is there anything else I have to say about this, "you loser!" I don't know if I can keep some of it, gunpowder is very precious. ”

Akai spread his hands helplessly, "Isn't this afraid that you won't be able to die, so you just fell down." ”

Squatting on the edge, Akai looked towards the bottomless pit, "Don't worry about that little thing, did you kill you?" You can help me see, I can't see such a dark place. ”

I sighed, this time it was really nerve-wracking, and I originally planned to use the gunpowder at home to build roads. After all, the road from my home to the town is very difficult to walk, and now that life is settled, I plan to smooth the road a little more, and those uneven hills are going to be blown up with explosives.

But that's for later, so let's take a look at Skeletron's situation first.

Several white balls of light were driven into the bottom of the crater, and under the illumination of the [Magic Energy Light Source], the dark crater was illuminated, and we could see the situation below.

"Huh? It's not going to be blown up into ashes, is it? It shouldn't be possible. Akai said suspiciously.

Suddenly, I seemed to sense something, and there was a breath under the crater that was climbing rapidly, "Akai, stand back!" ”

I didn't need to remind him, Akai also felt it, and jumped away without saying a word.

Then, a yellow pillar of light went straight to the sky in the next moment.

"Damn, I should have thought about it a long time ago, how could I not have the [Rebirth] attribute as Skeletron!!!" My heart is a little heavy, this guy is too difficult!

"Hey, if it's not not big enough, Skeletron's strength can reach the level of the nine-headed dragon." Akai raised his eyebrows.

Indeed, in the case of almost similar strength, whoever has a larger volume will gain a greater advantage in battle, after all, the larger the size, the larger the attack range.

In the midst of Akai's and I's helpless expressions, Skeletron was fully revived at the bottom of the crater.

[Rebirth], this attribute is very rare, and it is also a very rare attribute. It reminds me of Skeletron of a certain Dota and the Minotaur Chief of the Horde, whose ultimate is also reborn.

It seems that no matter what world it is, boss-level Skeletron has something in common.

Akai subconsciously opened the backpack, but since all the industrial explosives were used up, he didn't turn anything out.

"So what now, it looks like it will take some time for Skeletron to climb up."

After rummaging through his backpack for a while, Akai's appearance seemed a little strange, and his expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Unsurprisingly, I asked.

"Ahem." After coughing twice, Akai said solemnly: "Eh, young man, I said you don't want to be angry." ”

"・・・・・・ something, say something quickly."

"Just now, my hand speed was a little faster when I threw industrial explosives."

"Well, and then."

"I put [that thing] together with industrial explosives and threw it out with a slippery hand." Akai's expression was very embarrassed, which made me have a faint bad premonition.

"That thing? Which one? ”

"That's it, the yellow circle, the clover pattern."

“・・・・・・・”

Well, that's all said and done, I can die if I don't understand. To put it more implicitly, when I was in poker, no one wanted to finish the straight, and then I slipped my hand and threw the bomb in my hand.

Akai and I looked at each other for two seconds, and our expressions quickly changed to those of Hyogo Kita. It felt like the whole background was graying and I even felt crows chirping as they flew above our heads.

[Nuclear Bomb]!

was thrown away by Akai!

Lost! Go down!

・・・・・・・

“oh~~~~~~shit！ You useless guy. I pointed at Akai and cursed.

"What should I do, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and teleport away!"

"I'm sorry to teleport the magic cooldown."

"・・・・・・ oh~~~~~ don't !!!"

At the edge of the crater, two figures stomped their feet in circles around each other.

In the midst of the panic, Akai and I suddenly looked towards the bottom of the huge pit, only to see a red and yellow square flashing in the rubble, faster and faster, and the clover logo on it was so eye-catching.

A huge pressure instantly enveloped our hearts.

It's too late to dodge! Can only defend down.

"You erhu egg, hide behind me, there's no time to run." I made a decision immediately, although I didn't know if it would be successful, but I had to do it as a last resort.

The pale blue magic shield enveloped Akai and me, and a huge amount of magic surged wildly.

"Oh oh oh oh!! Long live the Master! ”

"Shut up, you culprit!"

There was no time for us to quarrel any longer, and in the next second, a loud roar drowned out everything.

A huge mushroom cloud that shakes the sky and the earth.
