‘What is this?????’
Eugene Schneider, who was responding with high spirits and not yielding to Drake's gaze,
His eyes widened at the sound of Drake's voice suddenly entering his head.
In the past, he was able to experience telepathy play often thanks to the magical genius Elizabeth.
So I'm quite familiar with that feeling.
This voice, now, was Drake telepathically speaking to him.
[Are you embarrassed, you half-breed of the demon race? Well, in this day and age, such experiences would probably be considered legendary.]
Drake's telepathy continued.
[I was wondering what was going on because someone opened the eyes of the Demon God, but now that I've met such an interesting person like you through an unusual connection, I'm unexpectedly excited.]
And the guy started spouting off some conspiracy theory that Eugene Schneider couldn't understand at first.
"The Eye of the Demon God? Someone opened it? Are you saying that's why he's here?"
Eugene Schneider rolled his eyes, feeling more than bewildered by the torrent of unknown words pouring out.
[I ask you: Are you a human chosen by the sun god Anubis?]
Drake asked Schneider a curious question.
“Anubis, the sun god?”
Anubis, the sun god,
Eugene is a god I have never heard of.
Basically, the gods of the continent of Pedon were traditionally goddesses, and goddesses are not beings that can be assigned to specific objects.
[Oh my... you're a real black punk.]
Even in Drake's eyes, it was clear that Eugene had no clue what was going on.
This caused Draketon to react somewhat lamentably.
“This giant lizard guy is being so cheeky!”
-Oh my god!!
Eugene, who had received the attack while his mind was in a state of confusion, lost his composure and stretched out his greatsword with great enthusiasm.
[then...]
Swish...!
“Hey, Emma! Where are you looking!”
But Eugene's curiosity was completely ignored.
Drake suddenly turned his head somewhere.
[Let me upgrade you to the next level.]
Drake turned his gaze to Priscilla.
‘Is this kid going to attack Priscilla?’
Eugene also noticed this and quickly returned his expression to its original state.
however
-Buaaa ...
The target of Drake's tail's attack again was not Priscilla, who had sent the facility, but Eugene Schneider, who was by his side.
-Kwaaaa ...
-Saaaah!!
“Tch!”
A truly unexpected attack,
Still, Eugene narrowly escaped.
Crunch!
But because of that, I lost my balance and fell over.
Roll! Roll! Roll!
I rolled around desperately on the rough desert floor.
“Eugene!!!”
Priscilla was startled to see this and cried out.
“Hiya...! This guy is even using psychological warfare?”
-Cheer cheer cheer cheer!
But since there was no damage, Eugene quickly stood up and recovered his posture.
[Draw forth your strength, human! Show me the human form chosen by Anubis!]
-Chooaaaah!
But that time alone was enough for Drake to close the distance.
A drake that approached close enough to touch the head, not the tail.
-Puaaa ...
He opened his mouth wide and spat out a roar at Eugene Schneider.
“Wow!!!!!”
-Boooo!!!
The space shook as if a change of impulse had occurred.
This caused Eugene Schneider's massive body to float away.
“Khuut!”
-Kudangtangtangtang!!!
Eugene Schneider, who flew about 20 meters away,
He fell to the ground and rolled over.
-Paaaa ...
Drake jumped in without mercy at Eugene Schneider, who was rolling on the ground so miserably.
"Quest failed! I have to run away with Eugene!"
-Paaaa!!
This meant that it was no longer possible for Eugene Schneider to take the lead and run away.
It meant that the plan to continue to draw aggro and extract information had gone awry.
Priscilla also jumped forward to save Eugene.
Priscilla, who jumped and flew like a bird,
Flashã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡Spark!!!
Her tiny body flashed with a great emerald light.
yes
Swaaaah...! Swoooo...! Swoooo...!
Priscilla's silhouette changed dramatically in the flash of light.
Oh my!
Eugene Schneider, who flew 20 meters before crashing and rolling again, barely managed to regain his composure.
"It looks awful, but the damage isn't that great. As expected, the Baramion armor Mina made for me blocked the internal damage. I could feel the incoming damage being blocked."
Compared to the wind and lightning that swung around like a flame, his eyes were alive.
The reason is that the quality of Baramion Armor was properly confirmed.
After the death, the direct hit may not be great, but it is an attack with a high possibility of causing internal injuries.
However, the Baramion armor, which strengthened its durability through mana, blocked the internal damage.
Of course, it was also the result of Eugene's hard training to bring out the abilities of the Baramion armor, even though it wasn't a long time.
Anyway, it was the attack that I was most concerned about against monsters with many variables, so I was relieved that I was prepared.
“Wow!”
But as Eugene took his stance and turned his gaze back towards Drake, he noticed the huge body of the guy jumping towards him and cursed out loud.
But at that moment
-Kuaaaang!!!
A considerable noise rang out.
Passs ...
And then the mana effect is displayed brilliantly,
It was Drake's tail that was creating the effect.
Perhaps something flew at Drake and he quickly moved his tail to defend himself.
"What's going on? Drake's posture is messed up because of you!"
-Saaa ...
But from Eugene Schneider's perspective, the sight wasn't clear.
All that was noticed was that a loud noise had erupted and that the tail of the drake, which was about to attack him while a slight mana effect had been created, had been used as a defensive weapon.
Eugene quickly scanned the situation and quickly escaped from Drake's landing point.
-Ku ...
Drake landed,
“Kurrrr...!”
Eugene turned his head in the opposite direction he had avoided.
‘Huh???’
Eugene Schneider, whose field of vision had widened as he widened his eyes, also looked in the direction Drake had turned his gaze.
Priscilla?
Because Priscilla was there.
‘Is that person Priscilla???’
To be more specific, she was a being with a completely different appearance from the Priscilla he knew.
But the mysterious being was clearly holding the World Tree Bow used by Priscilla.
"So this is what's making me reveal myself. I'm running low on spirit energy."
Yes, that's right.
Priscilla, whom Eugene Schneider felt was in danger, released her body transformation state to minimize the loss of spirit energy and revealed her true form.
"It was true. Priscilla was about the same height as Mina! She wasn't like some disobedient brat, but rather a woman with the visual of a cold elf princess!"
Even though it was a desperate situation where Drake was still holding on,
Priscilla's true form was revealed, and it was so magnificent that it could not be taken in easily.
It really was in no way in keeping with Priscilla's boasted elf princess vibe.
Rather, it was to the point where Priscilla's boasting felt weak?
The 150cm tall kid has super model-level height that makes you feel like you've changed.
Not only was he full of mystery and nobility, but he also boasted a youthful appearance that made it impossible to guess his age.
[Hoohoohoo...! So you're indeed a descendant of the elven royal family? I guess you can make my plan work.]
Drake sent out another telepathic message.
“What the heck, that kid, telepathy?”
However, this time, it was not a telepathy that was only for Eugene, but a multi-telepathy that was sent to both Eugene and Priscilla.
That's why Priscilla, who aimed her World Tree Bow at Drake, reacted with a startled expression.
"Can you hear me telepathically, Priscilla? That guy's been sending me telepathic messages all this time."
“Somehow, before that guy started attacking in earnest, you were standing there like you’d been hit by a poison arrow, so I wondered what was going on.”
Eugene didn't have the details to distinguish between solo telepathy and multi-telepathy, so he immediately went in to check after seeing Priscilla's babbling.
"If this is the case, then at least this guy is better than the being I mentioned earlier. The only answer is to get out of here, Eugene."
-Passeeee...!!!
“Let’s do that, Priscilla!”
-Oh my god!!
There was a truckload of information to share, but no time for it, so Priscilla pulled back the bow of her World Tree Mana.
Eugene took a stance to retreat, as if he were taking a liberating backstep, following Priscilla's words.
[Looking at it this closely, I can see you have quite a bond. I'm sure you'll be able to create a very satisfying upgrade.]
Ssrrrr...!!!
Drake turned his body forward without any thought of avoiding his opponent's attack.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
-Pewaaa ...
Priscilla's bowstring was fully charged with her emerald mana.
After that, the World Tree Arrow was launched, emitting a tremendous roar and firing like a laser.
‘Priscilla, your current attack is even better than that of the expert archers I know???’
-Paaaa ...
Eugene backstepped towards Priscilla, timing her World Tree Arrow launch.
The purpose of retreating together was to join forces so that he could take cover and Priscilla could provide cover.
The world-class performance of Priscilla that Eugene witnessed during the process was quite unusual, even in Eugene's eyes.
[If you're an elf archer of Seeker level, you'd be so confident.]
And the reason she can exert such force is because Priscilla, in her true form, is a Seeker Elf Archer, not an Expert.
[but]
-Kwaaaa ...
Drake defended Priscilla's attack with his tail again.
[Can you withstand my deferred attack with that level of energy?]
-Push yoo yoo yoo yoo yoo!! -Push yaaaa!!
Dark red mana smoke began to pour out from the guy's scales in a murderous manner.
“Damn it! Hold your breath and turn around and run! The Drake guy cast a debuff spell!”
“I’m already in position! Priscilla, come here!”
Thump!
Priscilla's expression was crumpled by the debuff magic that was cast immediately without warning.
Eugene reached Priscilla and grabbed her wrist.
[That's impossible. How could I let him run away?]
Burnã ¡ã ¡ã ¡ã ¡Sudden!
The eyes of the Drake, who continued to spew out debuff magic poison, flashed.
Then
-Dudududududududududu!!!
The ground where Eugene and Priscilla were located began to collapse.
