The Sended's

Chapter 33: I Beg your Pardon

The five of us approached the middle of this arena to ask further with figures who did not seem intent on attacking it, hopefully they did not have that kind of intention....

Peter was the first to start the conversation

"Anu, my name is Peter, Party leader of this group, we came in peace,"

"Peace you said after plundering the treasures of my kingdom?"

Hm? His kingdom?

"I'm sorry, but I don't seem to understand"

"I am Diablo, King of the Undead Kingdom,"

He was the one who plucked his finger earlier and turned the bright sky into night, he wore a strange mask like a black robot, he also wore noble clothes and a long robe

I would be ashamed if I wore such clothes....

But the King of Undead? He was like a man in my eyes

"I'm sorry, we didn't know that this was your kingdom, but your kingdom was standing within Hohenzollern territory,"

"Hohenzollerns? That's my new name, tell me more details" Diablo said

Peter does not believe that Diablo himself does not know where he is, but he is willing to tell in more detail

"You're in Brandenburg, King Hohenzollern's territory, we're here to examine the ruins - I mean your kingdom that suddenly appears within our King's territory,"

Wow the reason is quite interesting as well, especially I'm sure Peter has just thought about it this time

"Then I'm sorry, I think half the blame for your presence is my fault, too, but....

Half of it still remains your fault, and it is more than enough to sentence the intruder who entered my kingdom to death!"

Failed to negotiate....

Diablo unfolded his robe and displayed the clothes with light armor on his chest and shoulders, he also grabbed the rapier sword and mounted the horses

"Rajaku, please leave this matter to us alone," said the subordinate beside his right

"No, I'll make them my sword practice dolls" he replied

If this is the case then the fight is inevitable, Peter also thinks so and he quickly gives us direction

"Do as per the usual formation, Rune try to distract him," said Peter

"Okay" we answered together

It's gonna be interesting

Peter advanced first with his sword that could be used for quick attacks, he immediately jumped when he was close to Diablo and swung his sword from above

Direct attacks like this the goal is clearly not to end the opponent, but only to assess the strength of the opponent

Diablo, with his rapier it would be difficult to fend it off completely, so he repelled Peter's attack by changing the direction of his swing so that the momentum of the attack did not overload the thin rapier sword

Even though Diablo had the strength to hold his sword to fend off completely, his rapier sword could have been broken.

Next it was Diablo's turn to attack, he gave a puncture attack which was the best technique to use the weapon, and in fact this attack was very fast

Peter tried to fend off all the stabs Diablo gave, as a result of which he received two or more minor wounds from Diablo's stab

"It's gonna end!" The Diablo

But it won't be that fast....

I hid my whereabouts and ran to the right side of Diablo, then there I showed my whereabouts again but with the addition of a little magic. As expected, he would instantly realize it and undo the eventual attack on Peter

He faced my true direction far enough away, it allowed Howard to come forward and smash his large shield into Diablo

This left Diablo stricken backwards but still able to stand upright as he also managed to fend it off

"Thank you Howard" said Peter

"This is our formation, but thanks to the new role of the Runes this formation feels more complete,"

"Yes, you're right,"

Diablo he chuckled because of this, but it did not last long because Feli immediately released several arrows with wind magic that coated him towards Diablo

Eto... if not wrong earlier he said Ventus Arrow, it's Latin for wind right?

When Diablo tried to dodge, apparently his legs were being restrained by Lina's fire magic, he called it Hell Chain but it was actually just a chain made of fire. This makes him not able to go anywhere

As a result three arrows made it to Diablo's body, right in the chest as well, but well....

Not from the three who pierced through or even stuck in Diablo's body, the three of them were like bouncing and falling onto the ground, the wind magic aura in the arrow also slowly disappeared as it fell on the ground surface

Ha...ha... isn't that cheating?

Everyone was surprised to see that, so was I

He is indeed a reliable Party Leader...

But he looked at me as if he wanted to tell me something but also didn't want to hear Diablo, damn.

Now let's just lose my existence first.

Howard advanced with his axe and shield, intending to attack Diablo with an attack from his large axe. As expected, the attack failed because Diablo again repelled the ax by changing its direction

Diablo immediately intended to stab Howard and Howard had also mounted the horses to defend with his shield in the perfect position, but that was the purpose of the attack this time

Peter, hiding behind Howard, strikes a slash from below as a surprise attack on Diablo

"Well! Just change the pattern, it's still the same as before, I won't be fooled" Diablo said

Quickly changing the direction of his sword into a deflecting position, Diablo also intended to directly counter Peter and Howard

But the surprise is not there, from behind Peter there is an arrow from Feli coated with wind magic that is stronger than before, make it twice as fast but whichever is needed is also more and can not be done repeatedly

Diablo again managed to wake up and he kicked Peter and then swung his thin rapier just right to fend off the arrow, but well Peter's surprise was still not exhausted, he intended to use the strength of his entire party's abilities in this attack

The arrow was Lina's illusory magic, so Diablo only deflected the illusion of the actual arrow that was right behind the arrow

This time, well, this time our attack again failed to penetrate the "light" armor worn by Diablo, but the impact of Feli's arrow now managed to repel Diablo for the second time

He clicked in annoyance, while our spirits began to rise

"My turn to attack,"

Diablo bent his body slightly and put up the horses like people would run fast

But no one wonders where I am? The answer was that I was behind Diablo preparing to stab him using the cheapest dagger in the weapon shop but with a high-level magic buff layer

Now the same dagger is right next to Diablo's neck, only death awaits him, if....

In the last moments, Diablo noticed me because it might be too close, he was trying to avoid that dagger which of course did not work out well. I managed to hit again his hard armor because he dodged it quickly

But well sorry..I guess I put too much magic buff in the form of sharpness into this cheap dagger, the attack made Diablo light armor destroyed.

He retreated, this time not because he was pushed back but he retreated by himself

I also returned to the back of the Party, halfway between Peter-Howard and Feli-Lina

"Good, Rune," said Peter

I hope this is what he really wanted with his gaze earlier....

"It's starting to bother me, I think you're just ordinary NPCs but your skills are similar to those of a lower-middle-level Player, so be happy, I'll be serious."

He sheathed his rapier and the moment his clothes changed into magician robes, it was so cool, I wanted to too!

Did he just say NPC and Player?! Huh huh?

"Lina!"

"I didn't feel much mana from him, most likely he was just bluffing" Lina said

Well that's because

"That's because I didn't intend to show it in the first place" Diablo grabbed his wand and stomped it on the ground

This loud bang was heard loudly throughout this area, then after the sound was over, Lina looked very shocked and did not even say anything staring

G-gawat, I did know that he hid his mana capacity, but I didn't think it would be that big.... This way even he can defeat Kyouka in the field of magic

Now what do I do huh...?

"Lina! Hey Lina!"

"A-sorry! We have to run! We can't face it!"

This party was confused by Lina, but seeing her who was usually quiet became so adamant that something was wrong. What except Lina they can't see Diablo's power?

"Actually as a magic user even though I am still a beginner, I also feel bad air after the beat of the wand earlier," said Feli

"So he's not bluffing huh..."

Diablo, he was standing straight waiting for our party to be ready to make a defense, what a high knight soul for the figure who leads the Undead kingdom huh?

So what is Peter going to do now to fight an enemy that we honestly have no chance of winning? I hope he chooses the wise decision again

"King Diablo! Can I ask you something?" Peter was still looking at Diablo

"Ho? What do you want, NPC? I'll listen to him,"

"What at least.... You can let this girl out safely?" Peter asked, pointing at me

Huh uh?
