Chapter 38.2. Chimera Extermination

-Miu’s POV-

“No, they’re all dead.”

“Huh?”

Baphomet’s brain refused to comprehend that short line. What did the old man say?

“Didn’t you hear me? Then I’ll say it. He is dead. It seems they couldn’t stand my sorting.”

“Dead? Did you kill them?”

“Yes. These men get tested to become Heroic Spirits. They get tested to become the spirits of Valhalla, and they fail. I am still weak. You are still alive.”

Baphomet stared at Odin’s face in disbelief. There were more than 30 men around him. There were even guards. But now silence reigned over the world.

“I won’t believe it! You’re bluffing! You guys, take them down!”

Unknowingly intimidated by the sight of the one-eyed Odin, Baphomet retreated and gave instructions to the surviving magicians.

But Miu and the others’ turn was not over.

[Rapid Thrust]

“Gah!”

Before long, a small, robed human swings a dagger as if to dive in and leap off one magician’s head. The magician, who is supposed to be protected by the powerful magic barrier of the Magic Armor, is unable to do anything and falls to the ground, his head knocked off.

[Twin Fang]

Two wolves attack another magician like the wind. When the fangs drew a light path, it tore off his neck and lightly descended to the floor. Blood trickles down from the wolf’s mouth.

“Well, there’s a magic barrier.”

They have a magical barrier that repels even bullets. The magician fell, holding his neck, unable to believe that the fangs of a mere wolf, even though it has a body as big as a tiger, could break through the barrier.

“Hmm, he’s a level 8 magician, even equipped with magic armor. He’s just like a small fish.”

Miu was relieved to see her fighting ability was just as good as in the game. The magicians were level 8 and 9. Geri and Freki are wolves that can fight on equal terms with enemies equipped with magic armor. Magic barriers are merely a defensive value.

My surprise attack from [Hide II] was like in the game. With [Hide II], enemies who don’t notice me hiding receive a special blow from my attack.

As a special ability, [Thief II] attacks from [Hide II], deal double damage to the enemy. In addition, the martial art lineage of [VitalThurst], greatly increases the chance of hitting a critical hit. I don’t know the formula, but it does high damage.

Thief have a slightly higher attack power than magicians. But, they’re quite weak, and I can’t use them as warriors, but they specialize in inflicting damage from [Hide]. The problem is that it takes one turn to hide, so it’s the same as two attacks. I have to go for the critical blow. Because that attack penetrates the defenses of everyone except the holder of the special skill.

The magicians we defeated were atrocious. They truly deserve to be the bad guys in The Night of Magic.

When you choose to [fight

[Baphomet appears]

[Evil magicians A and B appeared]

[A bunch of thugs showed up]

I’m pretty sure that’s what was shown on the screen. Well, when you try to use children as bait, you’re out. Sorry, but I’m going to beat you just like in the game. You’ll pay for your sins in hell.

“What the hell is going on? How can they break through the magic barrier if they’re not using magic armor?  What the hell is wrong with you people?”

“Magic armor. I’m sure you’ve got it all wrong, but I’ve got it on.”

I flutter the robe I’m wearing and smile like a beast. A magic circle appeared on the surface of the robe for a moment and then disappeared immediately.

“Huh? What is that? Are you wearing old-fashioned equipment?”

Baphomet frowned in understanding. He realized that the clothes we were wearing were magical equipment. He probably thinks it’s old-fashioned equipment before people made magic armor.

He’s sweating, but still staring at us, his will to fight increasing. He seems to have regained his composure.

My equipment is [Thieves’ Evasion Clothes]. Of course, I had equipment other than magic armor in the game. This is called unique equipment. It’s level 10 Thief’s equipment. It is a robe that increases the success rate of [Hide]. Odin’s is a Sacred Treasure, so I don’t need to explain it to you.

It’s a unique equipment that I can make with  [Magic Stone E30, Cloth Piece 20]. I had unique equipment on the list, even though I had to get the recipe. The knowledge system seems to have taken over the game.

I secretly made it using two of my clothes. I only hope my mother doesn’t notice. If she finds out, I will make an excuse that the cat bit me and ran away.

“Well, since you two are coming together, you have confidence in your strength. But, but this is where it starts!”

Baphomet pulls out his  smartphone from his hip pocket and presses it down with a beep. I was wary that he would run away, but it seems that he is still very motivated.

A container in the warehouse’s corner begins to creak open, and something steps on the floor and quietly appears. There were five of them.

“What a waste, but I’ll use it on you guys. You must know the horror of the Chimera! Kill them, [Magic Puppet Ogre Type 22]!”

The goat-head laughs loudly. What emerged from the container was a mechanical giant. It must have been made from magic material. It was a robot with muscle fibers running around its mechanical body, a three-meter-tall metal giant.

“This world is quite interesting. How could something called [Magic] be used to create a mechanical giant?”

Odin seems to be very interested in [Magic].

“Just as well, Odin. Let’s go with the performance test.”

[Magic Machine]. It’s a major system in the world. I wonder if I could do something about this. It’s a game-like world.

Even though I got surrounded by my enemies, Miu pulled out her double teeth and looked happy.
