“Hmph!”
A gargoyle flies in the air and swings
its claws down at me. But I backstep to avoid the sharp claw strike and deliver
a counter slash.
The tip of my sword is precisely inserted
into the gargoyle's torso, but it is bounced off with a sound as if it hits something
hard.
“Gyagyak?
It's waste, waste, waste!” (*Note: Mudamudamudamuda)
“Ah...I
knew it. It's so annoying!”
Gargoyles' bodies are covered with scales
as hard as rocks, and ordinary attacks cannot damage them and they are repelled.
The strength of gargoyles is on the same
level as that of the monsters encountered in the middle of the game. Leon and
his companions miraculously defeated them by the power of the blood of the
awakened heroes, but they are not opponents that can be defeated in a proper
fight.
And the same goes for me. I couldn't even
put a scratch on him with my initial equipment, Nakakura's sword.
“Shadow
Edge!”
“Gah!?”
The gargoyle lets out a short scream as
it takes another slash from the flying blade.
This is the same as in the game.
Gargoyles have high physical defense, but low magic resistance. It seems that
even low-level magic can do some damage.
“However...
it's troublesome to cut it down with small tricks...”
Now I can only use lower level magic of
the dark attribute. I will have to hit the gargoyle with dozens of shots to
defeat it with this.
If I had a companion, a tank as a shield
would draw them away, and the rear guard could cut them down little by little
with magic, but unfortunately, I am playing solo. I have no one to rely on.
My classmate who was fighting the
gargoyle, Jean, is healing his friends in the back, so I can't count on his
support either.
“Then...
I'll have to kill it all at once with a single critical blow”
“How dare
you? Kill, kill!”
“Mnh-mnh...!”
The gargoyle spreads its wings wide. I
backstep to get away from it, anticipating its next attack.
The next moment, numerous shuriken-like
feathers fly out from its wings and pierce a wide area. If I had escaped a
little later, I would have turned into a hedgehog.
A quick glance behind me shows that Jean
and his friends are safe. They seem to be out of the range of the attackers
because of the distance.
“I'm sorry,
but I'm afraid I know about that attack? I've seen it too many times!”
“Whaa!?”
“And... I
know your weakness!”
The gargoyle freezes in place after I
dodge its ranged attack. It was a big move that caused it to freeze.
I took the opportunity to jump into the
opponent. Even if I slash at it with my sword, it is sure to be repelled by it
scales as before.
But still I thrust the tip of my sword
without hesitation.
Aiming at a single point. The gargoyle's
weak point.
“Hmph!”
“Gyaaaaaaaa!”
The gargoyle let out a desperate scream.
My thrust pierces under the gargoyle's
jaw and goes through its neck.
Every enemy character in [DunBrave] has a
weak point, and attacking the weak point is treated as a critical hit.
In the case of the gargoyle, only the
lower part of its jaw was not covered by stone scales, and that part was its
weak point.
“Gee...gah...”
“You bully
the weak to get revenge for being beaten by a hero, and when you fail even to
do so, you are killed by a lower-ranked opponent. It must be very humiliating
for you, event boss”
“Damn
you... human...!”
“Hellfire!”
My attack is not over yet.
I'll use the most powerful magic I can
muster right now. Jet-black flames pour out into the wound, searing the
gargoyle's flesh from the inside out.
“There are
various jobs in this game... but the strongest among the initial jobs is,
without a doubt, the [Rune Knight]”
“Gyaaaaaaaah!”
“And there
are only two characters who have [Rune Knight] job. Leon, the main character
and ......Zenon Baskerville. Only me!”
The strongest except for the hero and the
king.
There is no way that Zenon Baskerville,
the Dark Swordsman, the opposite of Leon, the Light Swordsman, can't defeat
such an early boss.
“Guo...
no... giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
The gargoyle, engulfed in jet-black
flames, was flailing about, waving its hands and wings, but its resistance was too
feeble. After a while, the gargoyle collapses helplessly, and its entire body
is engulfed in flames.
“Giii...”
The gargoyle, which had been twitching
and convulsing repeatedly, eventually stopped moving.
Its body crumbled into particles and
dissolved into the air, leaving only the magic stone as a drop item.
“For the
first time since I came to this world, I've had a proper battle. I've won”
With a declaration of victory, I spun my
sword around and struck a determined pose.
I completely conquers a superior event
boss in my first dungeon. It was a perfect achievement for the start of my new
life in the other world.
But I do not know how defeating the event
monster, the gargoyle, will affect the scenario.
But...for now, let's just rejoice in this
victory.
I have saved a life that should have died
for sure.
