I Reincarnated as a Hero
Chapter 19 – We Do This? (3)
(It's ridiculous. It is unlikely that the curse placed on the dead will be transferred ..)
“Yes, they are no more, but they are not dead. You carry them on your back! They are placed inside your chest! Each of them continues to live as part of you. Isn't that right? ”
In an instant, Artpe was able to apply several dozen Slowdown curses on the Death Knight. It creaks when it moves. It was as if the Death Knight was wearing rusty armor. Artpe.
(Koo-hook ... ..!)
However, it had no way of counteracting its effects. This effect is what makes Record Link such a dangerous magic! It prevented the death of the creatures that were supposed to die, and all their power was transferred. Basically, they could live in another entity!
“This is why even the weakest curse will be transferred to you. If I want to have many curses imposed on you …. I just have to kill them all. ”
Artpe powerfully swung his hand as the shield flew through the air. The shield moves according to its will. Even now, the shield was slicing through the fallen Zombies and Ghouls.
The bear repeated that the curse contained within the shield was weak. It could attach a weak deceleration effect to its target, but the effect could be stacked.
As each Undead fell from the sky, Artpe cut it into pieces with his shield. It felt like shackles were placed all over the Death Knight's body every time an Undead was killed.
(Kooo-ahhhhhhhh!)
“Of course, the ones left behind will suffer. This is the biggest reason why Record Links are banned. If you don't know that, you have to learn it. Well, it's too late for you to do it. ”
Artpe laughed out loud. The Death Knight had tried to attack him, but his efforts were futile, as Maetel was able to withstand it. It had been a long time, because he felt a lot of excitement.
“It is rare to find a curse that can accumulate indefinitely. Why do you think I didn't remove this bad shield? Why do you think I'm sparing in using it? ”
(Nooo wayyy. Nooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Kauuuuuuuuuu Baaaaaaaaaaaa-ssssssssssssssssss-taaaaaaaaaaard.)
“Iya nih.”
The power of the slowing curse within the shield had a wide effect that caused a very small deceleration on the intelligence, stamina, Mana, and skill of the target. The Death Knight felt the cumulative effects of over a hundred of these curses. The speed of the Death Knight's thought process and ability to speak had slowed to a ridiculous level.
“Iya. I, Artpe-nim, prepared for the boss fight from the start. I prepared all of this for today when I will remove the restrictions I placed on Record Link! ”
Artpe sneered at the Death Knight, and he took the coolest pose he could do for maximum effect. He used to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King army. He was a being who acted as if his arrogance was no limit! He boasted whenever he gained a piece of the advantage over his enemies! He did this in the most spiteful and shameless manner!
“Artpe is too cool!”
(Koooooooooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)
While Artpe was busy posing, the shield tirelessly cut off the fallen bodies of Zombies and Ghouls.
He had sharpened the edge of the shield in anticipation of this day. There is no way the edges are blunt now. The number of monsters killed changed from several dozen to several hundred then to several thousand.
(Ggoo-oooooooh, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.)
At this point, the Death Knight had all intents and objectives to be worse than a level 3 Goblin. The Undead, who were trying to test the heroes, had exhausted all his opportunities.
It can't even do a good fight. It could not use its secret technique. It can't give a cool finish line nor can it afford to lecture the heroes. It was already frozen in place before it could punish Artpe.
“Eh-eet.”
Meanwhile, Maetel acted wisely by distancing herself from the Death Knight. If he were to kill the Death Knight now, his strength would be transferred to the Zombies and Ghouls. They will harden to the point where they will not be able to handle it. He came to a very logical conclusion.
“No, Maetel!”
Maetel patted his back as Artpe gave instructions instead.
“If that bastard killed himself by suicide, our reward will be much worse! We don't want to accept items dropped from extremely high-level Zombies or Ghouls! We want the items dropped from the Death Knight to be made from gathering all the energy through the Record Link! You must prevent her from killing herself! ”
“Ah, alright! As expected, Artpe is smart! ”
Who in the world calls these bad guys heroes! They were unbelievably rotten to the point that even Demon Lords would come study under their watch!
The Death Knight watched Maetel break through the flood of monsters that fell from the sky, and he immediately disarmed her. It was annoyed that it could not move to stop him, but Artpe had killed the damned monsters in excessive numbers. It was difficult for the Death Knight to even lift a single finger.
(Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppppppppp ....).
“Ah. It's over because the curse has piled up this much. Maetel, now you have to help me kill the others. ”
“Iya nih!”
They had descended this Dungeon for the past year, so they knew what to do now. There are many monsters tied to Record Link now. It was as if someone had spewed it all out. It was fortunate that Artpe and Maetel faced all of them before when they came here. If not, they will not have a chance.
“Eh-eet, uh-eet.”
(Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhng.)
(Ggeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, ggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.)
The Death Knight did not bind itself to so many creatures that it would die after moving slowly on the ground like a cricket larva. Of course, Artpe and Maetel did not care about that!
Maetel had made sure to incapacitate the Death Knight so that it could not kill itself. Then he put away his sword as he beat the nearby monsters to death using a bone stick.
Artpe hummed as he controlled the shield. By the time he killed all of them, the shield would become unusable. However, this shield was only useful for this Underground Prison. He doesn't care what happens after.
“You are truly a genius, Artpe.”
“Yes, I think I'm a bit of a genius. Maetel is also a genius. ”
“Thank you! I think I fought pretty well even if I said it myself! ”
The two heroes continued to praise each other as they cleared the Dungeon in a friendly manner. The Death Knight rolled around on the floor like a larva, so what could Zombies and Ghoul do to them! It was as if they had been hit by lightning!
The lucky ones died as soon as they touched the floor. The unlucky fellow already had the unlucky fate of being Dead, yet they were in a situation where they could not even move properly. They could only blink their eyes until it was their turn to die.
(Goo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.)
‘Ah. Ahhhhhhhh ······. ‘
The Death Knight had lost both hands, and it was completely stripped away. While rolling around on the floor, the Death Knight witnesses two evil heroes clearing Zombies and Ghouls.
Every time one of the Undead died, a small amount of power came to the Death Knight. Most of them are cursed, so it is a scary proposition where the deceleration effect is much higher than the strengthening effect. It had lost the strength to move since time immemorial, and now it was having trouble thinking.
The Death Knighted regretted his misfortune. It failed to read Artpe's outrageous ability, so it ridiculed itself for its own ignorance. It groaned as it looked at the broken Dungeon. The Death Knight wondered if it could really entrust everything to them ……
He decided not to think about it anymore.
Four days passed. It took a long time even though both of them killed helpless monsters.
From the halfway point, the monster records had already started to overlap too much. From then on, the constitution of the remaining Undead became too high. Here's why it took so long. The only danger threatening the two heroes was that they became too tired, and fell asleep in front of the monsters.
“Do we really kill them all?”
“Yes, we killed everything. We even killed the ones trapped there. ”
“Ya, I also confirm it.”
This Underground Prison was unusually large and deep. It took about 30 minutes to sweep the place for a living monster with its Read All Creation ability.
But it's all over now. There was only one monster left in the entire Dungeon. It was a Death Knight who was only able to roll around on the floor.
“Hmmm.”
Artpe wanted to ask if he wanted to have the last words, but there was no reply from the Death Knight even after Artpe banged on him. It acted like a normal corpse.
“Artpe, you have to kill him. Right now, my level is too high compared to yours. We have to balance it. ”
“I know you'll say it.”
Artpe lifted his shield. He had killed many monsters with it so it was broken and flawed. It's hard to call it a shield now. Basically it was a metal lump.
He wondered if the Death Knight would be satisfied with being killed by a lump of metal, which was neither a weapon nor a defensive fixture. Of course, it's none of his business.
“Koohk. Uh-have. Rubbish. It's very difficult. ”
Artpe diligently struck the Death Knight with a lump of metal. However, the Death Knight had absorbed all the records to reach his final form, so it would not die from an attack of that caliber. Artpe had no choice, but forcefully pushed Mana into the metal lump.
“If you don't die because of this, I'll call you my teacher!”
He placed a lump of metal under the Death Knight's body, and he immediately used Hyper Rubbing's spell. Metal lumps rubbed against the Death Knight with ludicrous might!
That can't help. The surface of the Death Knight's body touching the metal chunk started to crack slightly. It was a brutal sight! It made one wonder if this was a new form of torture!
(Go-oooooooooooooh.)
It seemed like the Death Knight wanted to say something, but his reaction had slowed down too much. People can't say what they want to say. Artpe wanted to end his misery, so he increased his Mana output. Rubbing becomes more violent, and is accompanied by changes.
“Ah. The metal clump became red-hot! ”
“This is Mana reaction. That metal lump was once an Artifact. The Mana put in it will become restless by the Mana I inject. It will cause an explosion. The explosion caused by the detonation of the Artifact was much more powerful than detonating a simple rock. You have to remember it. ”
“Then why do you enable Hyper Rubbing?”
“I just want to tease that bastard …. Duck!”
At that moment, a lump of metal exploded! The Death Knight received the entirety of the overwhelming power generated by the explosion. As a result, he was able to find eternal rest. It would probably be much happier with the fact that it was taken this way.
“Koo-oooooooooooooooh.”
“Koohp.”
This was obvious, but an incredible amount of EXP went into Artpe and Maetel when the Death Knight was killed. The main form of a complete Death Knight was already incredible, but the Dungeon had been restored to its original form. All the monster records were collected into one creature! This result is expected.
“Artpe. It felt as if my head was going to split. ”
“Do not worry. I feel the same…. Koo-heek-in. ”
Even in his previous life, he had never experienced such successive level upgrades. Mana filled in his body as it continued to evolve. It put a lot of pressure on his mind.
“Ughhh, Artpe.”
Artpe tried to resist the urge to lose consciousness when he heard Maetel call him. He raised his head to respond to her when he realized why she was calling him.
“Wow. It's insanity. ”
“Ggoo-oooooooh.”
Perhaps, the killing of all Monsters connected to the Record link was the driver. The Dungeon once again underwent a change!
If more monsters came out once more, it would be very disturbing. Fortunately, this is not the case. The Dungeon quickly lost its size. The square was also getting smaller, and the materials that formed the Dungeon changed.
“It's like .. Ah.”
The cherry on top was a fountain that appeared in the middle of the square. Maetel's body and mind were tired, so she would let out a shout of excitement. As he was about to run towards the clear water, he stopped to look back at Artpe.
“That's poisonous water, right! Am I right, Artpe! ”
He thought he had shown good judgment by stopping, so Maetel let out a fake cough.
He smiled brightly when facing her. He spoke to her ..
“No, it's just plain water.”
