Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 126

The slender limbs and unnatural neck. The hideous scales that cover its entire body and the tail that is unusually long and disproportionate to its body. Two eyes that glare at us, shining brightly. From its huge, crocodile-like jaws hangs the poor monster, which has just died.

“…… Marcus, ……!”

“Oh, I’m here!”

When I called out to Markus, who was out of sight, I could hear his voice coming from the shadows. Thank God, Markus is safe

“Markus, you stay in hiding. Me and Oscar will keep him occupied while you set the traps.”

Okay.”

“Oscar, let’s go.”

” let’s go. I’m ready”.

Oscar, who focused his fire-attribute spell in his right hand, replies with a wry smile.

Even so,……, this is the Jabberwock’s urge to kill.

It is a horrific scene. I haven’t seen many of these movies because I don’t like to watch splatter movies, but I’m sure that zombie movies are full of scenes like this. I’m sorry if you like that kind of thing, but it’s not something I’d want to see on my own.

“Oscar, we have to strike first. On my signal, we’ll attack at the same time: three, two, one…… shot!”

My ‘Impact Bullet’ and Oscar’s ‘Flame Lance’ are launched at the same time. The “Flame Lance” is a higher level magic than the ” Fire Javelin”. It consumes a lot of magic power and has a very high difficulty level of A-. However, it is Oscar who is specialized in the fire attribute.

In terms of the Fire attribute, he is probably better than Christophe.

　—- ZDD!

Two shots of advanced level spells landed on the Jabberwock. The two shots were both quite powerful, so they must have caused a fair amount of damage.

“Did we ……. …… do it?”

Hey!　Oscar, you son of a bitch!　I told you that was a flag!”

“What?　What’s been going on since yesterday?　Explain to me what you mean by flag!’

“You know, the guy who says, ‘I’m …… going to get married after this war’ is always dying, right?　That’s it!”

“Oh, that.”

Apparently, the concept of flags exists in this nation as well. The flag deity, who controls the law of karma, is the god of flags. The concept of the flag seems to be valid across the world, just like the laws of physics.

“—-Gyuooaaaaaaaah!

“See, I knew he was alive. ……”

‘Sorry, …….”

No, well, the direct reason is that our spells weren’t powerful enough, but even so, the flag deity is a hard working man for foreshadowing us so well.

The smoke cleared to reveal the Jabberwock. Although he had been severely injured, I could clearly see that his wounds were gradually being healed even as I watched. It seems that this individual has a strong ability to heal itself.

“But if that attack doesn’t work,……, it’s at least an A+ rank. Worst case scenario, …….”

“S-rank, huh?”

“Oh.”

　The ” Robe ” is already functioning at 100%. In addition to this, if I also deploy the “Silver Armored Aegis”, I will be able to create my ultimate fighting style, which is both offensive and defensive.

“—- Deploy “Silver Armored Aegis”

A thick silvery-white magical armour, imbued with the magic of [shock], appears and wraps around my entire body. The fast moving turret with a defensive strength no less than the armor of the third generation tanks on the earth. That is an exact description of my current strength.

“Oscar. I’ll attack at close distance and create an opening while I charge, so aim there and shoot the most powerful spells.”

“I’m in charge.”

Oscar’s spells are powerful enough to be considered foolproof. I’m going to show you the power of an S rank magician.

“Let’s go!”

I close the distance with the Jabberwock at once by releasing a shockwave from my foot and using “Shrinking Ground” in combination. I was not sure if he had never fought an enemy stronger than him, but the Jabberwock was not able to react.

‘Ta-da!

　—-Zdong!

I hit the Jabberwock with a fist full of shockwave!s

Guooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ……!”

The Jabberwock attempted to catch the unavoidable but was unable to endure my all-out blows, and he was blown several dozen meters away, knocking down trees. The trees in the forest of demons, which are supposed to be very sturdy and rich in magical power, were snapped off with ease, and I found myself slightly taken back by the power of my own strike.

“I’m sure I could never have done this without magic. …… But this probably isn’t enough.”

I must have certainly done a lot of serious damage. The moment I hit him, I could feel the Jabberwock bones and internal organs crushed. But that was not enough. The Jabberwock’s body regenerates itself very quickly, although it is not as unreasonably resilient as the demon I fought before. To defeat him, we would either have to attack him one-sidedly, to the point where his regeneration could not keep up, or we would have to keep dealing damage until his regeneration was exhausted. Which will go down first, our attack power or his recovery power? That is the point that will determine the outcome.

“GUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

The Jabberwock, with an ominous roar, rushes toward us from behind the broken trees. It was quite quick. It looks to be at least the size of a car.

I looked at him and saw that he had already recovered from the damage I had done to him, and his eyes had turned the color of anger.

“Flying Wings!”

I activated my flying wings and rose several dozen meters into the air.

“Gah!”

　The Jabberwock, perhaps not expecting me to fly, was momentarily stunned. But I was not the one to miss that opportunity. I kneaded up my magic faster than I could blink my eyes, and launched my 18th Ohako [Impact].

“Shock Retsuden”!

Each shot is as powerful as a mortgage, and a barrage of more than 10 rounds per second pounces on the Jabberwock, sewing him to the ground. Unlike in a fight against a human opponent, there was no need to go easy on him, so it was a good thing I didn’t have to focus on the power of the bullets. If I had been worried about control, I might not have been able to keep him from flying away.

Oscar!　Now!”

‘Oh!　Here I go. Dragoon Breathfire!”

Oscar shouted, and at the same time, a jet of flame shot from his hand, which could be described as a wall of fire. The huge amount of heat from the spell hit the Jabberwock with such force that the Jabberwock let out a cry of exclamation.

‘Oscar, nice!”

The Jabberwock seems to have suffered considerable damage, and all the scales on its body are falling off, and the exposed skin is burning.

　It’s working. I guess I thought so, but it was a mistake.

The next moment, the Jabberwock, with wounds still healing, leaps toward Oscar and strikes him with its unnaturally long tail.

-“—!”

　Unable to scream, Oscar is blown away. He disappeared behind a bush, so there was no way to check on his safety.

“Oscar!”

　Oh, no. , , !　Oscar didn’t look like he was putting up any defensive spells. Maybe I should assume the worst.

“Oh, , no!”

Here comes the loss of our advantage. It seems that the Jabberwock was far stronger and more ferocious than we had ever imagined
