Chapter 9 NPCs who don't want to be just NPCs
(Thanks to the Silent Annihilation Cultivator for his reward and support)
Lyle couldn't characterize the Pioneers' plan of action as "correct", not to mention the intriguing origin of the summons found next to the Demon Altar, the Cthulhu Legion is an unknown group of creatures after all, and no one can guarantee that dozens of Eyes of Cthulhu will not appear at once.
Lyle can't characterize the Pioneers' plan of action as a "mistake", in order to defeat a stronger enemy, get material improvement equipment from a weaker enemy, and logically completely make sense, if the weak enemy does not appear, you can't passively do nothing, etc., you must know that the Devourer of Worlds is devouring the earth every day.
In the end, Lyle can only give an ambiguous assessment of "danger", borrowing Ami's owl to send a letter back to his hometown as a warning - he is only responsible for making small reports, and according to the current operating model, he has no right to prevent the pioneers from taking any action, and he is only a half-auxiliary and half-business villager in this village.
"No matter how many times I've watched it, I still think it's disgusting." Looking at the big eyeballs that descended from the night sky, Lyle looked disgusted.
"It doesn't matter what the organ is, it's disgusting to be alone." Since the Pioneers had already met them, and the Eye of Cthulhu wasn't targeting the villagers, Ami was able to chat with her newcomer unhurriedly, "but I'm glad it only came alone." ”
“…… That's right. Lyle sighed lightly and reluctantly agreed.
If the Eye of Cthulhu is the eye of a creature, then the creature's size can be made up in the brain, and even if it can only attack the most primitive physical limbs, it will become a nightmare for the Terra.
"Compared to this," Ami said with her palms facing each other, casting a wide range of blessing spells that would stimulate the vitality of the human body, "even if they win, we still have to support them morally." ”
Ami was not the only one, the nurse took the medical kit, the merchant took the staff of sparks, the arms dealer took out a shotgun, and the demolition specialist took out a grenade, and the villagers were ready to support the battle.
Of course, each of them is shorter than the other, and Ami is the only one who is helping now.
"Support...... Is it? Lyle groaned, he actually used the blessing magic that Ami is casting now, and the range is larger and more effective, but the magic that covers others is too much to find fault, "I may need to ask them to take me to the ancient dungeon to show off my frontal combat ability." ”
The surging magic condensed into a bright red sphere on the palm of his hand.
The orb flew towards the Eye of Cthulhu, stopping when it was only about ten meters away from the target, and only slammed into it when the Trailblazers had each left the Eye of Cthulhu some distance.
(Bang!) A burst of flame large enough to envelop the Eye of Cthulhu, which was nearly twenty meters in diameter.
"This power!?" Ami looked at her people in astonishment.
Although Lyle has yet to develop a truly expensive and powerful magic, and is now only using the density of mana to increase the power of conventional magic in a way that is almost technical, it is still much more powerful than the common sense of the Terrans.
"It's a lot more powerful than it is...... And don't get me wrong, the real powerhouses are the five of them. Looking at the Eye of Cthulhu that burst out of the flames from the side, Lyle subconsciously clenched his fist with his left hand, and condensed a second flame bomb with his right hand.

Under Lyle's high output, the battle ended early, and the pioneers ignored the big-eyed wreckage that was about to become the material for the 'Cthulhu Shield', and invariably rushed to the villagers who had just arrived today and shouted: "Wow~ Lyle, your magic is super powerful, and it is completely different from the magic missile that does not hurt when a demon hits anyone." ”
"............" Ah Mo is a little trying to find a corner and squat in a circle to draw circles.
"It's an honor to be able to help you." Lyle is very self-aware, he doesn't have the ability to stand on the frontline battlefield for the time being, and it is also to take care of Ah Mo's face, so he is open and honest, "However, I probably can't dodge most of the attacks of the Eye of Cthulhu by running and jumping, and there may not be many battles that can really help." ”
The final factor in determining whether a Terra's survival is not how powerful his attack is, but how much damage he takes.
Take the Eye of Cthulhu, who was beaten to death just now, as an example: Lyle's mana is more than ten times that of the Demon, and he holds all the magic of the elves of the Sacred Forest, and every blow can cause huge damage to the Eye of Cthulhu. However, Lyle still can't get rid of the Eye of Cthulhu in a short period of time, which means that the Eye of Cthulhu can fight back, and the magic shield can't withstand the impact of the behemoth, and he will die without drinking the memory potion to escape.
Guys who can't win even a single Eye of Cthulhu alone are not qualified to be defined as 'strong'.
"Oh! Don't worry, I'll work hard with you~! Ah Mo, who didn't know when he cheered up, said with a hearty face.
Since the acquaintance lasted less than three hours, Ah Mo can't be regarded as jealousy, but just an emotional change caused by personal self-worth.
Ah Jin said regretfully: "What a pity...... It's obviously a powerful helper. ”
"What's the solution, it's not an uncommon situation, you dare to say that you haven't seen anyone with a perfect score in a cultural class, an excellent basic project, or a failed mock battle?" Although he walked the summoning logistics faction, Ah Zhao's movement was as light and appropriate, completely different from Lyle, who would stumble when he landed in rocket boots.
When Ah Zhao said this, Ah Jin couldn't help but think of the school bully when he was a child, and smiled: "It's better to say that nerds are not good at fighting is the mainstream phenomenon." ”
"Excuse me, can I bother?" Lyle's eyes lit up, and there was a topic he was extremely interested in, "I want to know how you guys practiced this tossing and turning aerial combat technique, do you have any tricks?" ”
Ah Jin replied casually: "What's the trick, I was born with this talent." ”
"............" Lyle was speechless.
He himself has the best talent in the world, and it's strange that others are a little talented.
"Ahem, hard work is inevitable," Ah Yuan coughed dryly, correcting Hu Lai's answer to the right track, "With your current strength level, lighting a water candle at night, a bunch of zombies surging on the ground, and a group of servants of Cthulhu flying in the sky, trying to dodge while fighting back with a minimum should be useful." ”
"I see......" Lyle nodded heavily.
No kidding, he really intends to put it into action, he just doesn't have enough power right now, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to jump around in the night sky like the pioneers, playing with the rough-skinned monsters.
Of course, he still has one more thing to complete before he can start combat training - he also has to create a four-sided Cthulhu shield. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
