I Reincarnated as a Hero

Chapter 13 – Link Between You and Me (1)

At first, Artpe was unable to understand how Dungeons and Skeletons were connected through the Record Link.

However, it was simple once he understood it. From the very beginning, the Record Link was throughout the Dungeon .. To be more precise, when the requirements to destroy the Elite Skeleton Warrior were met, a field was placed above the Dungeon. Everything within the Dungeon was placed within its sphere of influence.

Normally, it was impossible to synchronize all monsters, but this method allowed the impossible to happen. This field also allowed Dungeon monsters to change the Dungeon's structure using their will. They combined separate spaces, and it allowed them to dispatch countless monsters.

Artpe had realized this fact before it was too late. Of course, even if he realized it, there was not much he could do at this moment.

It was normal to have no choice in such a situation.

“However, I'm an abnormality.”

Even if Artpe could not undo the Record Link in its entirety, he could push and twist a huge magic spell using his Mana. That may lead to a number of small changes.

This was why he used his Mana Control ability to its limit when he connected the small parts of the Record Link using his Mana. Then it rejoins the split ends in a different configuration to set small limits.

He tied up the part of the territory that was considered to be the 6th floor Dungeons. After that, he tied the 7th floor, then he moved to tie the next region down …..

This was why no changes had happened to the Dungeon now. Of course, all the monsters on the same floor were still connected through the Record Link. However, at the very least, the outer appearance of the Dungeon had again looked like any other normal Dungeon.

“The fact that it would be difficult to destroy this Dungeon has not changed, but we no longer have to fear about running out of our stamina by fighting against unknown numbers of reinforcements. In addition, the Link Notes to the other Skeletons on the other floor were completely disconnected …. ”

“If as you say, whether this might mean ...”

“You're pretty fast in retrieval.”

Artpe met Maetel's sparkling eyes, and he grinned.

“After we disable their ability to move, we can kill all the Skulls on this floor.”

The skeleton here had been isolated from the others. The ridiculous concept that they could not gain any EXP until they cleared the entire Dungeon was gone by now. They no longer had to suffer under the insane and tortuous pressure.

They were still under a difficult boundary where they had to cripple all the monsters on one floor without killing the monster. However, it did not feel heavy for the two heroes.

They're gonna win. They will survive to become stronger. It doesn't matter who tried to test it.

He did not care about the reason behind the test. He'll take everything. If he was at the testing site, he would flip it over. If he's in jail, he'll destroy it. If it was a kingdom, he would level it to the ground.

“We are not obliged to play on a stage made by the enemy. Remember that, Maetel. The enemy must dance to our music. We are the ones who must survive after defeating our enemy. It doesn't matter if they call us cheap. They can even condemn us for being bad people. ”

This was the survival philosophy developed by Four Heavenly King Artpe Hirtana Kelduke from the Demon King army. In his previous life, he was just an extra who should have been killed at the beginning of the story. However, he could stay alive until the hero attacked the Demon King's castle. Here's why.

In the end, he was sent by a shining hero, but he was by his side now. Nothing is impossible for both of them. Even if it was impossible, they would make it possible.

“The fact that we survive is that we win. That's why we have to defend to win. The most important thing is our own survival. There's nothing more valuable than that. ”

“….Yes no..”

Maetel firmly nodded her head. Of course, he was born with a strong sense of justice. He was too innocent to understand selfishness and even though he had progressed by enduring it for so many years.

Still, this is enough. He would not be easily deceived by others right now. He had created a foundation he could build.

(A ... what the hell is this.)

(Koo-ahhhhhhhh!)

The skeleton had a hard time accepting the fact that outsiders had changed the entire Dungeon's layout. How long have they been waiting for this moment! How patient they have been all this time! They patiently waited for this because they hated every moment of waiting!

They had even allowed themselves to become lowly Undead to protect this place. They have put their value in protecting the place. This was their brilliant moment, yet these little brats treated them like trash! Little boys have spit on them! It was a twisted situation where they were looked down upon!

(It's wrong! They would not be able to prove their worth this way! They will only get stronger!)

(You made a mistake! You do not have the necessary qualifications!)

“You all should be quiet. If this qualification involves us being accepted by such a rotten Skull, I would rather not have it! I don't care for that! Maetels! ”

“None of you can escape!”

His magic was running smoothly, so he just had to focus on Maetel and his shield. Artpe was able to increase Maetel's strength as he freely controlled his shield. He attacked the group of confused Skeletons.

(How is this …. Yumk!)

(These pieces are not entitled to take the test. We're gonna kill you! We'll destroy you!)

The skeleton had been shaken when an abnormality occurred in their Record Link, so they were unable to react well to the situation. However, they had now accepted the truth that they had to defeat Artpe and Maetel with the troops on this floor. They strengthen the Record Link between each other, and they begin to actively attack the two heroes.

Of course, Maetel was getting stronger even at this moment as she participated in the battle. This is why the Framework is not in a favorable position.

It was not that the Skull had been easy for them from the start, because it was a test. Nothing will change from their adjusted attitude!

(Are you planning on imitating a boomerang with your ugly shield? That's too heavy! Looks like pigs are rolling on the ground!)

“What do you see! It was just a picture after! ”

(Koo-ahhhhh!)

He did not want to grow in this direction, but Artpe's ability to cast a shield. He provides Maetel with Mana. Did he receive some stamina and reflexes in return?

Several dozen Mana Threads extended from his one hand, and they were used to control the shield. The sharp edge of the shield, which could inflict a curse, was lifted. It flew freely across the huge passageway as it impacted the Skeleton's body in quick succession. The damage it causes is not light.

“Here and here!”

(That bastard's shield weakens us.)

(We have to catch and kill him. We must kill ..)

As time passed, Artpe's shield flew faster, and it spun sharper. He inflicts damage on par with Maetel's bastard sword. The skull was afraid of Maetel, so they were herded towards him. However, he lowered them faster as time went on, and he finally realized something.

Artpe pondered why this was so. He realized that the act of inserting Mana into the shield was slowly strengthening the shield's special characteristics.

This was on a different level compared to just implanting a stone in an attempt to make it explode. He had used his Mana to improve the performance of the Artifact at a fundamental level. Basically, he had used (Reinforcement).

In other words, it was a special rare Support type skill. He didn't have to say it out loud, but this was an extremely difficult skill to learn.

‘.... when and how did I learn this skill?’

What exactly did he do to settle this? He had caused changes to the Record Link that were cast on the entire Dungeon. He knew he had done a pretty good job, but this action and strengthening of the shield were part of a completely different discipline.

The only other thing he did was build Mana links with Maetel. He had poured Mana into her, and she was busy throwing her shield.

(Koo-ahhhhhhhhh!)

(Shield ... Shield is getting bigger! It started to spin!)

(Avoiding. That bastard didn't try to kill us! He was just trying to cause pain! That bastard is not a hero! He's demon! His crimes were almost on par with the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King! )

It was as if they knew about his past work as one of the Four Sky Kings. The skeleton continued to spout insolent words, so he thought of cutting it with his shield.

“I'm aware of the skill at a ridiculous level. This should only be possible for Maetel …. Waita minute. When I used the link in Maetel, perhaps Where was not the only thing shared between us? ”

His body moved faster, and he easily acquired skills he had not had before. Maybe these spells didn't just link their Mana. He may have created something even greater.

At this point, he wanted to check on his ability using his Reading All Creation skill, and he was irritated that he had no free time to do so.

“Stay, if my theory is correct, Maetel's talent is being shared with me.”

It was a very dangerous event for him. Maetel was supposed to be the most brilliant hero in history using her talent. This talent was shared with Artpe, who had mediocre talent. This will throw a big wrench in his plan.

This would slow down Maetel's growth, and there was a chance Artpe would pass through. Then the enemy's gaze might be more focused on him. Something as horrible as that might happen to her!

If possible, he had planned to maintain an unlimited Mana link. But this changed the story. After the battle was over, he would get a clear assessment of himself using his Read All Creation ability. Then he planned to decide on the Mana link as soon as possible.

The brightest star must be Maetel. Artpe did not want to shine brighter than him.

‘Basically, the act of emitting light is like exercising. I was too lazy to exercise .. After I received enough light from Maetel, I just reflected the light. That's enough. ”

This is a mindset that is not suitable for a hero. However, his previous job was to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and he had always dreamed about living a life as a dairy farmer! He was able to find such a possibility, because he was Artpe!

Maetel was not even aware of what was on her mind. He moved his body. Even now he was efficiently pulling the abundant Mana from Artpe towards him for him to use. He was getting stronger even at this moment!

“Hoo-ahhhhhhhhhp!”

(strong. They are too strong!)

(We need more reinforcement …. Ahh! We don't have it!)

(Maethel)

(Level: 32)

(Science of the sword Lv8)

(Berserk Lv4)

(Mana Control Lv6)

“From the looks of it, it seems that his talent has not diminished at all ..”

Artpe muttered bitterly as he waved his hand. The final reinforcement was added before the insulated 6th floor stepped forward. The highest level among the group is 55. They hesitantly moved towards the two.

(You, exploring an impossible territory, will face creation or destruction at the end of this chaos. We'll test your little body .. kuhk!)

“Stop giving monologues, and fight me!”

(How dare it be .. Kah-ahk!)

The two heroes had a lot to think about, but the skeleton with an empty skull spouted philosophical words! It's just an addition, but trying to be cool. Even if the creator forgave such actions, Artpe would not forgive them!

“You all berc1nta! If you know what is good for you, you must separate your head from your body! Roll on the floor! ”

(How dare you tarnish our noble resolve .. Kahk!)

One Skeleton was specifically filled with anger. It had tried to speak, yet the tip of Artpe's shield had an impact on his body. The skull was thrown into the Dungeon wall.

Even after impacting the Skeleton, the shield did not lose any momentum. It attacked three additional Skeletons. Then violently revolved around Artpe to fend off the Skulls that tried to swing their swords towards him. The shield could even destroy their weapons.

“Good. This is enough. ”

He would be able to overcome this situation without asking Maetel for help. The skulls clustered around him were mostly defeated. He nodded in satisfaction as he checked that less than 100 Skulls were left.

(I will not pave the way for such an evil creature!)

(We have to beat them. I'll make it a skeleton! They will be just like us!)

“You can try.”

“I'll do it! I will defeat them all! ”

He still had more than half of his Mana. He assessed the amount of Mana he left against the number of Skulls …

They can do this. He's sure of it.

They are the winners.
