Episode 461 The Naked Head of the Oriens

Back in the transporter room, I was with Metis, trying to figure out how to fight the Oriens.

The devil seems to be good at fire magic, so you must have a "Magnetic Barrier" in place.

I wish I had perfected new defensive magic. It would have been nice if we had perfected our new defensive magic."

　New defensive magic was under development. A magic that used the little bit of spatial structure knowledge I understood would have shut out the demon's fire magic. Unfortunately, it was no use.

I wish I could have made a magic-protection equipment with the magic-disabling cloth I got when I defeated the evil god Chitkaa."

　I was going to make equipment using magic-disabling cloth, but it seems that something is needed to make this cloth work. At first I tried magic, but it seemed different.

　So I'm wearing shock-absorbing clothing and Dragon King armor made of Dragon King leather. I am researching the possibility of repairing my previous armor, which had been damaged. The timing of pouring magic power into the armor was too late, and it was damaged.

More importantly, what do you know about what makes Oriens unique?"

The magician reported that he could not do any damage, even though he was supposed to have cut them. I think there may be some trick or unique ability of Oriens.

　Did it slay but not damage?　Is it a demon with a body like a titan slime?　It didn't look like that, but .......

　We make various predictions and discuss countermeasures. However, we do not have enough information on ORIENS, so we cannot take thorough countermeasures.

　The next day, I got up and heated up some retort porridge and ate it. Then we put away our camping gear and headed for the middle boss's room. I peeked in through the entrance to the middle boss's room and saw Oriens there.

　I fit some rings and turn on my shock absorbing clothes. Then I activate the "Magnetic Barrier" and hang the D-particle magnetic core around my neck and take a deep breath.

　Spirited, I entered the middle boss room with Elmore and Tamegoro in tow. I readied my light sword, Clau Solas, as I began warming up.

　Oriens turned around and grinned. I activated my "Burst Shotgun" and released thirty small detonation piles. I fired my "Burst Shotgun" and released 30 small detonation piles, to see how Oriens would react.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

　While the small detonation pile is flying, start pouring magic power into the "Ring of Vikaroten". Elmore and Tamegoro should have also started preparing for high-speed combat.

　Oriens noticed the small detonation pile and quickly avoided it. Its movement would rival that of the Red Ogre. The oriens floats a flame on its hand and shoots it at me.

　I jumped to the side to avoid it, but the flaming bullet followed me. I deployed a magnetic barrier to catch the flaming bullet. At that moment, an explosion that shook the atmosphere echoed through the air and was louder than I had expected.

　Elmore charged at the oriens with his Zekkai spear at the ready. The demon took out his flaming sword and parried the attack of the Zekkai spear. Elmore flipped the Zekkai spear.

exchange of nuptial cups

and cleave for the neck of the oriens.

　The flaming sword caught the ear of the spear and Oriens' foot slammed into Elmore's stomach. Elmore's body flies through the air, falls to the ground, and rolls. The demon's power seems to have surpassed Elmore's.

　The moment Oriens' attention was focused on Elmore, I quickly approached and poured magic power into the light sword Clau Solas at once, forming a photon blade and slamming it into the demon's torso.

　Just as I thought the photon blade had sliced through the demon's torso, a flaming sword swung toward me. I reflexively jumped backwards to avoid the sword and observed the oriens.

　It doesn't appear to be damaged in any way. The funny thing is that his clothes still have the cut marks on them. I activated my "Guided Blitz" and locked onto the head of the Oriens and fired a D-particle guided missile.

　Oriens tried to avoid the D-particle guided missile, but when he noticed it tracking him, he intercepted it with a flame bullet. Immediately thereafter, the thunder hammer "Mjolnir" released by Tamegoro hit the head, distorting the demon's face. A spark of spark discharge occurred at the moment of the hit, but it was still weak. Tamegoro was not accustomed to his new weapon.

　Oriens glares at Tamegoro, who catches the returning Mjolnir. His face is still scarred and his whole body is beginning to radiate anger.

　Oriens' rage echoed through the air, and his body seemed to grow in size. Sensing that it was about to launch a powerful magic, I once again released a D-particle guided missile and aimed it at the demon's head.

　After the magic is deactivated, Oriens intercepts it with a flame bullet. Apparently, it is certain that the head is the weak point. I felt that prolonging the fight would be a disadvantage, so I increased my speed to eight times.

　As I began to feel the oriens slowing down, I quickly approached it and reared its head with my photon blade. The demon's head was chopped off. But it didn't fall to the floor; it came back onto its torso.

　What's that?　Just as I thought that, flames erupted from around Oriens. I activated my "Flash Move" and moved my body backward.

　Oriens' body, engulfed in flames, changed. From the neck up, he remained the same, but from the neck down, he was reduced to nothing but bones, like a skeleton. Moreover, the bones were black and covered with flames.

'Is it the demon of the undead?'

Then the photon blade should be effective."

　It is weird that everything is raw from the neck up without being a skeleton. A black flame was born on the hand with only black bones, and it flew as a flame bullet.

　I slashed down the flaming bullet with my photon blade and jumped back. Elmore and Tamegoro attacked with "Crash Ball II" but were intercepted by black flame bullets.

　Each time this happens, the sound of the explosion echoes through the air, and the blast pushes against my body. The speed at which these flame bombs are triggered is as fast as my "Crash Ball". A black fireball is released, and I deploy a magnetic barrier to block it.

　The magnetic barrier withstands the blast generated by the mutual magic collision. The D-particle magnetic core hanging around the neck suddenly became smaller and disappeared.

　It seems that black flame bullets are several times more powerful than regular flame bullets. I turned off my photon blade and signaled to Elmore and Tamegoro. Elmore activated his "Titan Push" and fired a Titan Plate, while Tamegoro threw Mjolnir at the demon's head.

　Oriens intercepted the attack from two directions with a black flaming bullet. At that moment, I used my "Flash Move" to jump into the demon's bosom and slash at the oriens' head with my light sword Clau Solas.

　With that blow, the demon stopped moving. I pour all my magic power into the light sword Clau Solas at once, forming a photon blade and slipping the blade of light into the ugly, distorted face, cutting it in half.

　The blow finished off the oriens. After confirming that the eerie figure had vanished, I checked inside the middle boss room. A treasure chest had appeared. I let out a big breath and relaxed my whole body.

'First, let's check the drops.'

　I started looking for drops with the voice of Metis.
