Chapter 152 : Holy

TL:SummerPeanut

Esteemed father -> Lord father

====================================

When light emitted from the white magic circle enveloped the impure king, he clearly appeared to be in pain.

Spit and drool came out of his mouth and stuck to the ground, and the death knights that appeared from the ground disappeared the moment they were enveloped by the white light.

When the white magic circle disappeared, the light also disappeared and the impure king was still there. An appraisal showed that his HP was 429/529].

The damage inflicted was 100, but it appears that the damage to the impure king was actually greater than that.

He spit at me more desperately than before, not like a fervent kiss, but with the momentum of puking. Mud is flying towards me from all direction. If that's an expression of affection, it couldn’t be absolutely more wrong.

“Mars! You did it! You finally got to chant Holy successfully!”

Ike shouted as he fought the death knights.

“Yes! We'll definitely beat them here! It seems that the Holy has diminished the effect of the accelerated HP recovery!”

Earlier, I chanted Holy in anger and it manifested. So I misunderstood the reason.

“Holy!"

When I chanted while shouting this time, nothing manifested. What? Why? I could do it earlier… No matter how many times I shouted, Holy didn't manifest...

“Mars! What's wrong? There’s no need to be anxious, you know? We can still lure this guy out of West Rimurgarde if we keep continuing like this!”

Ike is certainly right. If I can lure him towards Rimurgarde Castle Town today, the city's West Rimulgard will be safe.

I looked back to when I was able to manifest Holy earlier. I can't believe I'm with impure king on Christmas Eve...

“Holy!"

It still doesn't manifest. Could it be Clarice? I thought about Clarice. All I could feel was love. ...It's not something you think about on the battlefield. ...But just in case, I thought about Clarice and shouted.

“Holy!"

Then, as before, a white magic circle appeared and white light enveloped the impure king. So the trigger was my love for Clarice!

When the white light subsided, the impure king's HP was at 334/529] although the effect of the accelerated HP recovery had faded, he still recovered a little, but the damage inflicted by Holy is still 100.

It's fortuitous that a magic attack can inflict this much damage on an opponent with a durability value of 342 and a magic power of 142.

As long as I could cast Holy, the impure king is an easy victory. The MP consumption is also much lower than that of Lightning magic.

Rather, the simultaneous deployment of Vision, Magic Eyes and Sylphid consumed more.

As the impure king's remaining HP decreased, the black sludge that clung to the it also disappeared.

The black sludge was gone, the impure king became much more agile, but still could not touch me, who was fully using Vision, Magic Eyes and Sylphid.

And when I chanted the final Holy, the impure king completely...disappeared. Ike came to me, overjoyed.

“You did it! Now the threat to West Rimurgarde is gone!”

“Yes. At the very least, I don't think the death knights will attack us. This time I really thought it would end badly. Although that precisely gave me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment (after achieving otherwise)... I'm sorry for all the trouble I put my brother Ike through.”

I looked at the place where the impure king was and saw a ridiculously large magic beast stone and another white something... and that white something seemed to be glowing gold in places...

I got closer and saw that it was a vestment. The white vestments had golden magic circles and letters floating in places. I immediately appraised it.

Name: Vestment of Narukami(Thunder God)

Defence: 24

Special: +3 agility, +3 magic power

Value: A+

Details: Can only be equipped by those with Lightning magic aptitude. By enchanting Lightning magic, the agility value is greatly increased.

I finally got my own exclusive armor. But...this has been clinging to the black sludge on the impure king for a long time... I'm feeling a great deal of resistance to equipping this...

Could it be that this vestment has been chasing me, the right person to equip it, all this time? And I'm convinced the reason why my Lightning magic was absorbed. Let's just use Wind magic to carry it along with the magic stone for now...

And my level also went up by defeating the impure king with a threat level of A.

Special Ability: Holy Magic (Lv8/A)

The talent in Holy magic became A and the level also increased to 8. And my stats is also quite high for the level. It is probably thanks to the unique ability, Innate Talent. And I've got the armor I've always wanted (I haven't equipped it yet). I might be able to become a low-level A-rank adventurer now.

Ike's level had also risen, as he had been defeating death knights relentlessly.

Name: Ike Bryant

Title: -

Ike is also quite strong, although he may not be as good as my overwhelming cheat stats. I think it's about time for his spearmanship level to raise, though...

We hurriedly returned to West Rimurgarde and tried to report to Zeke, but he had not yet evacuated the city and was in midst of evacuating the residents first.

“Lord father! We finally managed to defeat the impure king! This is the magic beast stone from the impure king! It has no smell, but since I am not comfortable touching it, I will use Wind magic to place it right in front of lord father's eyes.”

When we presented the magic beast stone to Zeke, Zeke took it in his hand without any hesitation. Zeke probably has no resistance because he hasn't seen the impure king.

“You guys did well! We'll withdraw the evacuation of the inhabitants right away, so you guys rest now! I'll give this magic beast stone to King Balkus as proof of its defeat, is that alright?”

I nodded, and Zeke immediately ran out of the compound and communicated to the adventurers and residents that the evacuation was revoked.

Ike and I took a long bath and carefully washed our equipment and the things we were wearing. We were very tired today, so we decided to go to bed as soon as we finished our bath and dinner.

30 December 2030.

After defeating the impure king, the death knights no longer appeared, but the adventurers who is taking over from Zeke and the others had already arrived in the city.

Although they are no longer attacked by death knights, this does not mean that West Rimurgarde is now completely safe.

We don't know when the magic beasts will overflow from Rimurgarde Castle Town. Then again, five A-rank parties have already headed there since the beginning of this month, so I think it's safe...

And Azure Fang members, including Van, had also arrived. I wanted them to stay in Almeria as they were, but they came back because they had received a quest from the country and they would have to stay here for the moment of achievement.

The inhabitants of the city seem to want Zeke to stay here forever. It seems that the provisional lords who ruled before Zeke were very bad rulers. Some of them were brutal to the residents because they were provisional lords anyway, and some of the worst ones even kidnapped the town's women.

The next provisional lord is said to be a nobleman with no combat experience. Zeke worked hard to hand over to this nobleman, and yesterday he finally took over everything. There are now about 200 B-rank adventurers in this town.

It is said that there are about two thirds of the B-rank adventurers from this country currently here. But I think there are only about 50 that can really be called B-ranks...

And the festivities have been going on all morning. It's a kind of festival to celebrate the safety of the adventurers who have done the quests with Zeke, and to wish for the safety of the adventurers who are going to stay here.

I, Ike, and Zeke only took part in the festival from morning to noon, and in the evening we had already packed our bags and were sleeping in the mansion. We wanted to get back to Almeria as soon as possible. The quest ends at midnight today, so we’re leaving West Rimurgarde the moment it hits midnight.

Incidentally, Azure Fang is taking part in the festival. Hence, they will not be leaving at midnight, but tomorrow at noon. They wanted to be in touch with adventurers of the same rank.

1 January 2031, 0:00 am.

I, Ike, and Zeke depart for Almeria, and the residents sent us off even though it's midnight.

Zeke seemed to have more talent for governing than for fighting. From now on, we'll just keep going west, day and night. We used Heal for our horses and kept going west, and when the Heal stopped working, we changed horses in town and force our way back to meet our respective loved ones.

We do not stay overnight in inn, but instead slept in the carriages. Likewise, we also ate portable meals in the carriage. I, and Ike took turn to be the driver, and basically we just went westwards.

It was late at night on 4 January, three days later, when we arrived in Almeria.
