Episode 222 Battle with the Wraiths

I dived into the Narukami Dungeon to explore the 6th floor. I entered the 1st floor and headed to the place where huge trees were densely packed, where the Transfer Gate was located. I went from the entrance to the densely packed huge trees point, looked for the door to the Transfer Room, and stood in front of it.

The door had the same pattern as the Transfer Gate Key tattoo. I pressed the tattoo on the back of my left hand against the pattern on the door. The door opened, so I went inside.

I stepped into the Transfer Gate to the 5th floor, which was the only one working in the Transfer Room. The next moment, I was standing in the Transfer Room on the 5th floor.

"Even though it normally takes a whole day to get here, it's super convenient."

After leaving the Transfer Room, I headed for the stairs to the 6th floor. I went down the stairs and stared at the scenery of the 6th floor. It was gloomy ... it was an undead town.

While admiring the broken Arabian-style buildings, I proceeded cautiously into the city. The first thing I encountered was a SkeletonKnight. When I hit it with QuintBlade, the SkeletonKnight's skull was shattered.

[ Are you not going to use the Light Sword Clau? ]

"If it's a SkeletonKnight, QuintBlade is enough. Besides, I can reduce the consumption of magical power."

I didn't need to worry about magical power consumption because I had the All-purpose Recovery Medicine, but I didn't want to acquire the habit of wasting magical power.

After encountering a SkeletonKnight and a BoneGolem and defeating them with Life Magic, I encountered a Wraith. I took out my Black Thoughts Staff and turned it into a round shield. Then, I took out the holy silver dagger with the holy attribute.

In order to judge the power of the Light Sword Clau, I thought of first killing it with the holy silver dagger with the holy attribute.

The Wraith looked like a crusader from the 11th or 12th century. A Wraith in the form of a soldier wielding a short sword attacked me.

To receive the attack of the short sword with my round shield, I thrust it out. The Wraith's short sword would pass through shields and deal damage to humans, but the round shield had the holy attribute.

I firmly caught the Wraith's short sword. At that moment, I thrust the holy silver dagger into the Wraith's face. The tip of the dagger pierced its face, and the Wraith thrashed in pain before disappearing.

"Wraiths don't say 'Auuu'."

When the Phantom vanished, it said 'Auuu', but the Wraith seemed to be different.

[ Even if it is a weapon with the holy attribute, it doesn't seem like a dagger can kill instantly. ]

"If it was a Phantom, it would surely die in one hit, but a Wraith is tough."

After about five minutes on the road littered with rubble, I encountered two Wraiths this time. Without hesitation, I pulled out the Light Sword Clau. I erased the weight of the sword by using 'Fushin', and mowed down the two Wraiths.

One Wraith tried to block the Light Sword Clau with the short sword it was holding. However, the Light Sword Clau's blade cut through the Wraith's short sword and bit into its neck as if it were being sucked into it.

The Wraith disintegrated into small particles of light and disappeared as if it had exploded. The other Wraith also disappeared instantly when the Light Sword Clau hit its torso.

"I expected it, but the power is completely different."

[ As expected of a legendary sword. ]

It seemed that Metis was also impressed by the power of the Light Sword Clau.

Afterwards, while defeating Skeletons and Ghouls, I encountered a group of Wraiths when I reached about halfway through the area. A dozen Wraiths formed a formation and were patrolling the city.

"It's not necessary to do your job even after dying."

[ Is there someone giving orders? ]

"Are you saying there's a monster like a Wraith's commander?"

In a city of this size, I felt like it could really be there. That said, I didn't think I would find such a monster and defeat it. I just wanted to defeat the Wraith group and go to the 7th floor.

In order to deal with such a group, I had made two preparations. By submerging the equipped black scale armor in the Spirit Fountain of the Skeleton Dungeon, I gave it the holy attribute and also prepared a dedicated helmet.

Of course, the helmet was also given the holy attribute. I hated helmets because I felt that wearing a helmet made it difficult to capture the movement of D-Particles. However, Wraiths could not be detected with the D-Particle sensing ability.

Wearing the helmet, I pulled out the Light Sword Clau and held the round shield with my left hand. When I erased the weight of the sword with 'Fushin', I entered battle mode.

I drove the Light Sword Clau into the surging Wraiths. If I stopped, I would be surrounded, so I moved constantly and killed the Wraiths one by one.

I ran around the city and cut down the Skeletons I encountered along the way with my Light Sword Clau. The Skeleton that received the Light Sword disappeared like an explosion. It was like a sword that exerted tremendous power against undead.

I jumped up on the rubble that was part of a chimney and slammed the Light Sword Clau into the chasing Wraith. The Wraith disappeared instantly, and the next Wraith approached.

After defeating the Wraiths one after another, I finally swung the Light Sword Clau towards the last Wraith. I was relieved when I confirmed that Wraith had exploded into small particles of light.

"Fuuh, it's finally over."

I took out the Immutable Bottle and recovered my magical power and physical strength with the All-purpose Recovery Medicine.

A Wraith's short sword once tried to touch my body, but the black scale armor and helmet prevented it. After all, it was the correct answer to solidify my defense with the holy attribute.

[ As expected, it's hard if you're solo. ]

"That's right. I want protection behind my back."

[ Should we make a weapon for Tamegorou? ]

"Weapons with holy attributes, huh ... claws or fangs, but considering how easy it is to use, claws."

I decided to have a weapon made for Tamegorou. I thought the Wraith's attack from behind was dangerous.

After collecting the magic stones with 'Magic Stone', I headed towards the stairs to the 7th floor. There was a church-like building in the back of the city, but the stairs were on the side of the street.

When I passed the church, I heard a scream. Looking towards the church, I could see several adventurers and a demon-like monster on the roof terrace with the bell tower.

The monster was a humanoid monster with a goat's head. A demon named Baphomet, a pagan god, remained in folklore, but it resembled that Baphomet.

However, the monster on the roof terrace of the church did not have wings. The goat head jumped down from the roof terrace across the street. The Adventurers also followed it.

I was curious too, so I headed to the other side of the street.
